    Why can't the Illini EVER dictate the tempo? I've seen other teams force their style of play on the opponent hell, NU did it to the Illini today.

    Weber has got to go, this should be the last straw.

    What about continually walking the ball up letting Northwestern set up their zone?

    Deng is likely to be back soon. Possibly Sunday. Or tonight, just read that in the Tribune also read Hamilton' to be held out until he's fully recovered. From what I understand groin injuries have a very long recovery period, does that mean he's possibly done for the season? If so, besides the Horward pipe dream, shouldn't GarPax pursue another legitimate scoring option?

    He's a hockey example of an average player who played out his mind for one season ala Tony Womack or other such Cardinal over the last 8 or so seasons. Oh come on, Keith wasn't Tony Womack. I think you're right about that, Womack wouldn't even have qualified as an average player.

    My mistake, Magic gamble until 2016?

    Not for a second do I believe the Bulls will be able to trade for Howard but, if one looks at the Bulls, Lakers and Nets. The Bulls may have the best to offer, the Bobcats pick, it's lottery protected until 2014 I read. So should the Magic get that pick they could roll the dice and end up with a lottery pick in 2014, in addition to the other picks and players they'll get from Bulls. I've got to think if Howard is dead set against re-upping with the Magic and the Magic are looking to come away with something offering a chance to improve the Bulls are the best trading partner. If a miracle does occur and Howard becomes a Bull what's the Heat going to do put James on Howard instead of Rose?

    Every Illini fan ready for two steps back this weekend? Beat MSU one step forward, lose to NW two steps back, it's typical Weber and Illinois.

    What's really going to be annoying is the press and ESPN' over reaction should the Sixers win.

    I'll give Berstein credit for his view on Paterno, he's got it absolutely right, the Phil Knight speech was disgusting. For him to gloss over and minimize what Paterno choose to deny/ignore and accuse the press of vilifying him, along with that idiot applause after each sentence, was unbelievable. Hell, I thought the press wasn't hard enough on Paterno.
  12. gflore34
    The ignore everyone save for Rose tactic worked, barely, again for the Heat. If, Rip, can get to maybe 90% he'll blow that tactic up also, when the Heat do put James on Rose. Why not pound and run his ass ragged by running him through screen after screen after screen? I don't care who he is, that'll take a big toll over time.

    I believe that will even out as the season goes on, they're playing well no doubt and also getting a lot bounces. The last game vs the Hawks was really annoying, for whatever reason the Hawks decided to let them stake to and do anything they like for 45+ minutes plus OT. I give some credit to the Wings but, the Hawks largely decided not to play. Found it interesting that when the Hawks decided to play they outscored the Wings 2-0, makes you wonder what it would have been like had they played the whole game in such a manner.

    Well, some good news!!! I often thought Angelo was trying to prove he was smarter than everyone else when drafting red-flagged players like Carimi, Williams and Harris. As if I know something about their past injuries that you don't and I'll prove by drafting the player every team passed on.
  15. gflore34
    Is that really a benefit with the likes of Angelo as the GM? What college player with a history of injuries will he tap in the first round in the 2012 draft?

    Found it pretty shocking a crippled Bears offense was able to move the ball so easily on them. I know coulda, shoulda, woulda but, if the Bears don't trip over their own feet on offense and defense, as they did, there's a good chance they win this game. Found some more interesting facts about the Packers - They've been outgained by 78 total yards. They've been outrushed by 239 yards. Their opponents have as many first downs as the Packers (326). They've been outsacked 38-27. They rank 31st out of 32 teams in total defense. They've allowed 6.2 yards per play (tied for worst in the NFL) it would appear they can't really stop anyone nor generate much of a pass rush. It been cited many times that a team should not be so reliant on a single player but, how aren't the Packers a prime example of such a team? One average to poor game by Rodgers and they might be gone.

    With Rip as Bull Miami will no longer be able to completely ignore the off guard position as in last years conference final. It was five on four during that final.

    As much as I'd like to say Angelo and Smith are completely worthless I got to give them a pass on the way the season ended. There's isn't a team in the league that could have overcome losing their QB, main offensive threat and best RB, two OL, who were improving, and in the Seahawks game their top WR. The Houston reference is not applicable, last time I checked Arian Foster is still palying, Andre Johnson is playing and one could argue Yates is an improvement over Delhomme and/or Garcia.
  19. gflore34
    I think they should be treated as pre-season games, see what they've got in Bell and Enderle, amongst other players.
  20. gflore34
    No, you most definitely don't have to love the Broncos. Oh man, trust me, I hated the ol' horsey face as a player, but I am finding myself audibly rooting for Tebow and the Broncos... Is something wrong with me??? NE defense is bad but, that Broncos OL is getting away with some big time holding.
  21. gflore34
    Given this loss effectively ended any playoff aspirations the Bears had is there any reason Hanie and Barber should play again?
  22. gflore34
    Oh, I hate Marion Barber much, much, much, much, much more than Tebow.
  23. gflore34
    haha, really? I'd imagine cameras were already on TIM TEBOW like they are on ALL QB's during a game winning (or losing) kick. Watch him walking off after the game. He stops and points to the sky several times. I don't get it. So what? Lots of players do that. You're condemning him because his pointing action is more exaggerated? Because he does it several times, and I think he's doing it to make sure the cameras catch it. o If he wasn't trying to be caught on camera he wouldn't do it more than once.

    Something's not right, they looked real good earlier in the season but, lately it's been crap. They've got more depth than last year, no Stanley Cup hangover but, yet, Keith continues to cough up the puck, defense in general has been a turnover machine. I still believe they'll put it together at some point this season.
  25. gflore34
    They'd won both of the last two games by 10 or more.
