There's always somebody that has to turn it into a negative.
-
And then give his spot to a young family from Swisher? -
At least they won. Now Illinois...that was frustrating.
-
Now rooting for a BYU/Boise State BCS title game.

Isner wins the tiebreaker 7-5 and wins the match. Crazy upset.
-
Fifth set tiebreaker to decide the Roddick-Isner match. Shame it's not on TV.
-
Roddick finally broke Isner with his last chance to do so in the fourth and took the set 7-5. Isner looks tired, interesting to see if he has anything left.
-
Melanie Oudin beat Sharapova today in 3 sets. Yet another Russian up next, #14 Nadia Petrova. Querrey lost this afternoon, and Roddick dropped the first two sets to John Isner before winning the third.
-
Illinois has been terrible on both sides of the ball today, so it's hard to tell either way.
-
In order for me to lose first place, I have to lose and Tim has to win. Right now, Tim leads by 16 and is down a start, and i trail by 9 and am down a start (although I trailed by 60 yesterday, so things are lookin up!). At least I still have a chance at this thing and I have two ways to win.

He previously had an indefinite suspension for not following team rules and was kicked out of a practice this training camp because he was out of control. There very likely was more but that's just what was mentioned last night. This wasn't just a momentary slip. He jacked his own teammate who was trying to calm him down and went altogether bazerk for 10 minutes. Yeah, given his history, this is appropriate. The ESPN gurus were saying this guy was a potential 2nd-3rd round pick. Hope he's making the most of his education. Looks like he's only going to fall 2005 yards short of his preseason guarantee for this year.

2009 Regular Season - Week 1 - Bears vs Pack - 9/13 7pm NBC
bukie replied to Banedon's topic in Other Sports
I'd wager there are over 100 Bears fans on the board and about 15 Packer fans. Anyway...score prediction? Overconfident, Cutler-mania prediction: Bears 38, Packers 14 Sensible, first-game-in-a-hostile-environment prediction: Packers 24, Bears 21 -

Pretty sure that's not even close to true. -

why can't bowman just stay healthy? He is right now and hopefully he stays that way, but there's still Peanut's situation to worry about. And Rod Hood didn't exactly impress. He bounced off somebody so impressively, it looked like he was a pinball. -
I'll go VT, Boise State, Illinois, and OSU.

18-year-old unranked Melanie Oudin (OK, she's ranked #70...but unranked in the tournament) just upset #4 Elena Dementieva 5-7,6-4,6-3. With #1 Dinara Safina struggling mightily, and the #2/3 Williams sisters on the other half of the bracket, the other finals spot is pretty much wide open for the taking at this point on the women's side. Oudin's next opponent will likely be Maria Sharapova.

Cubs WC chances? I'd say about 2%.

U.S. Open first round underway, with Roddick and Federer winning easily yesterday.

2009 Chicago Bears Preseason Thread - A new era begins
bukie replied to David's topic in Other Sports
Hmm interesting? He was a starter for the Cardinals last year in the Super Bowl, and hes only 27. Now Im hoping for Branch to be released and the Bears to pick him up as well. Yeah, I'm intrigued by this also but wondering why he's available. I guess we'll find out. EDIT: I looked for some commentary on this in the Cleveland paper. There is reference to the fact that he got beat for a TD pass in the preseason game on Saturday, but that's it. Interesting. Remember that last year's Cardinals team was awful defensively for the entire year. -

I was going to say how fitting it was that so many fans dressed like babies. -
Looks to me like they are pretty well set - the only real race left is for top spot in the west (and 2nd in the east possibly but that isn't really important). Nice work with your team Kevin - goes to show you a bad team can be improved quickly. Thanks, I've been pretty fortunate this year with the trades I made. Every gamble I've made has paid off so far (got Bay/Jordan Zimmerman/11th pick (Roberts) for 1st pick (Beltran), got Lowrie/Masterson for Furcal, got Sandoval/Detwiler/Austin Jackson for Jordan Zimmerman, got Nelson Cruz/Vazquez for next year's 1st/Posey). I just wanted to make the team competitive this year, so at least I managed that. :)

Wow.. some of those numbers are not what I'd have expected! Yeah, it's pretty much a specific reason for the question of "How in the world is Kevin's team in first place?" Either that or it just says that you got your ass kicked really bad in one of your matchups, and otherwise, your team's defense has been really good. :) Heh, I have gotten my ass kicked 3 times this year by about 100. I have the only team in the league to score at least 200 points every week, though. :)

Because I've been unable to get much accomplished at work, and this makes my team look good even more lucky, here's some meaningless stats based only on head-to-head games among the playoff teams: W L PF PA Behind Tootie 5 2 2083.5 1941.25 0 SABR 5 2 1726 1737.5 357.5 Sanitizers 4 3 1983 1424 100.5 TB 3 4 1771.75 1939.25 311.75 Alamo 2 4 1735.75 1779.25 347.75 NSBB 1 5 1653.75 1812.75 429.75
