Aramis Fan.

Funny. Because nothing says "punish a child molester" like "take free education away from 20 innocent kids" It's punishing the program. It's not like the kids they were going to offer scholarships to were still forced to attend the school and pay for it.

Ivory Coast and Nigeria should qualify easily. The others could be interesting.

CAF did their third round draw (they are switching things up and finishing with 2-leg playoffs for 5 spots): Ivory Coast - Senegal Ethiopia – Nigeria Tunisia – Cameroon Ghana – Egypt Burkina Faso – Algeria

...when did the Nats get 10 games over .500?

Week 3 Bears (2-0) @ Steelers (0-2) 7:30 CST Sun NBC/780

Nobody should win a road game by 10 or more, especially a Bears team that has needed two comebacks to win home games the first two weeks. -
There's no such thing as surefire HOFer anymore, thanks to the writers.

Week 2: Vikings (0-1) @ Bears (1-0) Noon CT, Fox/780

Yay? Whoever is quoted there is not very good at counting. They were tied for third. Tied for second, actually. Odd to mention 3 lowest grades when there were 2 grades and 4 players. -
Cool. So we're helping out Mexico now. Okay then. You're shocked? Mexico is the real victim here.

Almost time to start thinking about seeds and a draw again. Would be awesome if somehow Iceland qualified and we could get stuck in a group with them and Iran. I don't see Columbia or Belgium pulling off #1 seeds and getting in a group with them would really suck unless they are #1 seeds. Outside of that I would take a group with Italy or Uruguay as a #1 seed. Want nothing to do with Argentina or Brazil, would take Spain, Germany or Holland over them. Despite the ranking I don't see Holland not as a #1 seed. The USMNT isn't getting a seed. Argentina, Brazil, Spain, Germany and Italy are locked in for sure, and Netherlands/Colombia/Belgium/Uruguay/Portugal are likely in line ahead of the US at this point. Among those teams, aside from hoping we only get 1 of them, I'd take anyone not CONMEBOL, basically. I want no part of a South American team in the group stage, and if the US can somehow avoid that, they're in good shape. Well, I guess no to Brazil, Argentina, Colombia or Uruguay. Ecuador and Chile I'd prefer not, but it would beat a Germany/Netherlands group I suppose. EDIT: Of course, saying all that, I fully expect them to end up in a group with Germany, Egypt, and Netherlands/Belgium, in the "kill me now" group.

imb added and dropped a guy so far. That makes today the most active that team has been in 3 years.
-
This does kind of suck but I've never figured out what you can do about it. The only suggestion I might make would be to remove the DL spots and go with 6 bench spots, which basically mirrors what MLB clubs do in September.
-
Hey, Nate Scheelhaase just threw as many TD passes in the Cincy game as he threw all of last season. We're riding a high.
-
Yes, that is what I was saying. Are you trying to be offended here? I didn't even use the Miami game.
-
And this is why everything has to pander to the lowest common denominator.
-
HEY GUYS I THINK I WILL MAKE A DETROIT JOKE IF THAT IS OK. I was hoping not everyone needed the Dexter-level explanation. Next time I'll try to find the ghost of Al Davis to explain it to you more explicitly.
-
Where everyone complains because baseball's rostering rules and teams' priorities are completely different in September.
-
Yeah, Detroit at Arizona should be interesting that way.

Week 2: Vikings (0-1) @ Bears (1-0) Noon CT, Fox/780
bukie replied to UMFan83's topic in Other Sports
Well, we already won one of the hardest games. The 2 Packers and 2 Lions games will still be tough. What else? I was never worried about the Steelers... It's not so much the difficulty, it's that there are barely any creampuff games they should easily win. Looks like 3, counting this week, including St. Louis and Cleveland (and maybe Pittsburgh). However, week 1 is National Jump to Conclusions week, so let's see how things shake out over the next 3 weeks before we make any sweeping judgments about how good teams are. -
Also qualifying for the World Cup last night: Costa Rica, Italy, Netherlands, Argentina.
-
Panama ties, and the US officially qualifies for the World Cup.
-
Yes. In fact, if Panama surprises tonight, they'll be playing Panama for the right to even stay in that playoff spot before going to Costa Rica. If Panama surprises tonight Honduras is in trouble, no?
-
Nah, they can still get 3rd but haven't played in Costa Rica yet.

I'll just leave this here... http://www.footballoutsiders.com/dvoa-ratings/2013/week-1-dvoa-ratings -
I'm assuming because the Bears are 0-0 against the NFC/Division while many other teams are 1-0 in conference and the Lions are 1-0 against the NFCN Yes, and the Bengals have their division's best conference record.
