  1. It's going to be really annoying when only Jack Morris and Maddux get in this year, and then Pedro Martinez, Randy Johnson, and John Smoltz join the ballot next year.
  2. Another interesting scenario is that Washington could end up with the worst record in the NFL, and St. Louis owns their first rounder.
  3. Unless New England loses at home to Buffalo, in which case they would miss the playoffs.
  4. Not trying to derail the thread, but here's a link that has nothing to do with baseball, this thread, or anything on the topic.
  5. Cade McNown is not a better option than Jay Cutler, no matter how many meatballs say differently.
  6. Marshall, just fall down and the game is over.
  7. Bears getting desperate. Might be McCown time now.
  8. It took...Jay Cutler?
  9. Earl Bennett sighting!
  10. Late hit, but that won't stop people from reading into it. For example, he was pissed because he had to throw it to Jeffery.
  11. No reason to concede yet. It's not conceding. Jay is rusty. Stop with that Jay is so rusty it caused Bennett to fumble.
  12. Nobody on this D can just bring a player down.
  13. No reason to concede yet.
  14. Uh oh, the Browns figured out this D's weakness of running straight up the middle.
  15. Jay making it look easy when he's not sailing the throws.
  16. Defense good, offense, not so much.
  17. Someone needs to read up on the definition of fact.
  18. Here is the last 4 years. 2013 - 4 2012 - 5 2011 - 4 2010 - 3 And remember Sumlin's been around for only the last two. The argument may have gone a to a different place. I dont think the SEC is that great. Its the best conference because its best at the top. I agree that the depth is not there and I agree they dont play tough OOC (exceptions exist). But I was saying that its toughest to get into a BCS game from the SEC because no other conference has as many really good teams at the top. And people should stop using A&M and Mizzou's success as a counterpoint to SEC dominance. Those teams arent Big 12 anymore. They are SEC teams now, the SEC plucked two good programs from the Big 12 and made itself a stronger conference and made the Big 12 weaker. The success they are having in the SEC is not a boon for the big 12. 2010 - 2: http://bcscentral.info/h/2010/bcs_rankings.html This season isn't over yet, either. The success Missouri and A&M are having right away in the SEC should show that the SEC isn't some mammoth obstacle that other schools can never hope to ascend. Two decent Big 12 programs are decent in the SEC just the same. That should have dispelled the myth that a middling SEC team would win any other conference, but the SEC fan's hubris somehow thinks that just putting the SEC name on Missouri and Texas A&M magically made them better.
  19. I had someone try to argue with me that Jay was a worse QB than McCown because he throws the ball "too well" to be caught. McCown is a better option because his lame duck throws give the receivers the opportunity to outjump/wrestle the ball from the opposing DBs.
  20. Really? People have a hold up on what will happen if the catcher blocks the plate? If only they had rules in place to cover that situation at other bases they could apply to that one.
  21. The other funny thing is, most of the people arguing the dominance of the SEC are the dregs that have routinely getting beaten down by the conference, the Mississippis, the Arkansas, the Vanderbilts, the Tennessees. Mostly they don't want to accept the fact that their team and program may just be bad, and not just at a disadvantage in their conference. By "routinely" you mean "twice in history", right?
  22. It's the same smug sense of SEC superiority that had people predicting Missouri to finish 14th in the SEC 3 games into this season. Because they were new, they couldn't possibly keep up with the rigors of the SEC schedule.
  23. Haha, Juve, that is what you get for playing for a draw.
  24. The D-Backs know they don't get a DH, right? Someone mentioned that to them before pulling the trigger on the deal?
