I think Minny-Packers is a much bigger deal than Minny-Chi. It is. But all of you need to stop talking about this before I cry. I don't even know what I would do. (offers you an Aaron Rodgers jersey) Come to the dark side.

I find it a little farfetched that his dad was doing all this stuff that he supposedly had "no idea" about
-
How difficult would it be for the Jags to get out of their current lease?
-
True, as I think we still win with or without Gore, but this just makes it easier. Hopefully.
-
I personally think that would be funny as hell.
-
Gore out for the year with a hip injury. Not to sound uncompassionate, but at least the Niners won't have their biggest weapon next week against us in Lambeau.
-
McCarthy wasn't the one who grabbed a facemask at the absolute worst time.
-
That was one of the dumbest penalties I've seen this year. Completely inexcusable. *sigh* Oh well.
-
This. If we can get him to sign one, I'm all for it.

That would never happen. If there was a 16-team playoff, you'd at least see auto bids to the big six conferences if not all 11. I know it's not going to, but I can dream. The only fair way to do it would be all 11 conference champions and 5 wild card teams. What? No that's far from the only fair way to do it. Examples? In my way every conference champion would get a chance (Yes, you'd have 1-16 matchups like Ohio State vs. Troy, but oh well), and you'd have a nice, even bracket. Even a few of the deserving non-conference champion teams would get in. If you limit it to just the BCS conferences and do an 8-team tourney it would still most likely leave out the TCU's and Boise States of the world. Every conference champion should have a shot to win the National Championship, and my proposal allows that. The computers should then only be used for seeding purposes in the playoffs. Each top seed would get at least 1 home game, then for the final 7 games (8 teams left) you could use the 4 BCS Bowl stadiums, and 3 other stadiums on a rotating basis for the final 8 teams. That way contracts with the Rose Bowl, Fiesta Bowl, etc can still be fulfilled. That's just a proposal I whipped up in 5 minutes. I know it needs a little tweaking, but I think that could be a good starting point.

http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/11/26/closers-do-nothing-to-help-teams-hold-ninth-inning-leads/ Interesting article there pretty much backed up by this stat: Teams won 95.5% of their ninth inning leads in 1952. They won the same percentage in 2010.

But....but.... the Bowl system!!
-
I don't care what has to happen, but I want Boise/TCU in the BCS title game just to see everyone freak out. I wish I didn't have to work so I could cheer on 'Bama and Arizona.

Fisher is making it as obvious as possible he wants nothing to do with Young: http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/story/14348556/titans-fisher-young-apologizes-via-text-message Dang kids with their newfangled cellphones and the Twitter and the Facebook and zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.......

Branyan is a slightly better Rob Deer.
-
I'd rather have Dunn, but if we're not going to go after him, we could do a hell of a lot worse than Berkman.
-
So are the Packers. Yeah.... I don't know about this week. The Falcons are going to be really tough. As much as I'd like to say the Packers are going to win, I don't think they will.
-
Hamilton wins AL MVP.
-
Watching the Vikings implode this season has been the football equivalent of if the Cardinals were to do it. Absolutely glorious. Changing the subject.. we're really going to see what the Packers are made of the next 6 games. Tough road games to ATL and NE, and we have the Bears and Giants at home. None of those games will be easy.

Expanded playoffs, shortened reg season starting in 2012?
erik316wttn replied to erik316wttn's topic in General Baseball Talk
So has there been any discussion of shortening the regular season yet? -
Yeah, Brett's done. He still shows flashes of his old self, but over a 16-game season he just can't do it anymore. I'm loving that we kicked his ass all over the place today and his last Packers-related memory will be that of a loss.

Northwestern/Illinois Football game at Wrigley?

now that is some hard-hitting insight and analysis. And an even better critique! -
Northwestern/Illinois Football game at Wrigley?
erik316wttn replied to cubswin2009's topic in Other Sports
I just think the most embarrassing part of this whole fiasco is that the game has been in the planning stages for how long now and just yesterday this "safety" issue came up. Someone dropped the ball big time.
