Good lord, Steven Tyler looks like that George dude in the Wedding Singer.
-
The call in the Penn State game the other night was awful, but these refs are dong everything they can to do a worse job today. There have been several awful and very inconsistent calls against both teams so far.
-
He was a football coach, not a messiah (which yes, I know some PSU people would have you believe). What happened sucked but really? He didn't rape kids and it's hard to put yourself in that kinda situation and say you would have acted immaculately. Immaculately? Perhaps not, but I am 100% confident I would have made damn sure the guy raping 10 year old boys on campus got exposed and stopped.
-
Stan Kroenke owns Arsenal and I'd bet that probably plays into it at least a bit. I'm not sure what the connection would be, but I'm sure it's there. The Glazers and one other NFL owner have EPL teams but I can't remember the 3rd off the top of my head.
-
Because Paul isn't playing out of his mind? They would have lost to OSU by 15 if he hadn't shot that well.
-
Watching this team play makes it seem like its against the rules to shoot anywhere between 5 and 15 feet from the hoop.
-
No kidding. I was afraid he'd be outmatched athletically in conference play, but he's just bad.
-
Just wow on the call against Bertrand. And it would be helpful if they at least acted like they want to be out there playing.
-
Huh, didn't know that. I also thought the other denial probably had to do wit it being a team in the division than anything else.
-
That's not really a good comp. The A-10 is typically a much stronger league than any of these other conferences like the Colonial or the Horizon. When you typically get 3-4 teams in every year, the conference/team gets a lot more clout when they run through it like St. Joe's did that year.
-
Yeah, there's a huge difference between what Cassel was able to do for the Patriots and what Flynn did in one game. It would be incredibly risky to make that acquisition, and I would hate for my team to do it. But it only takes one, and NFL teams without settled QB situations do stupid stuff. Then again, Wannstedt isn't out there coaching anybody either. Yeah, but if you're talking about a team like Cleveland who has Holmgren running things, I think there's probably a better chance they'd take a gamble than a lot of other teams since he'd be running the same sytem.
-
Their tackles aren't bad, they just weren't healthy this year. I think WR is a much bigger need for them. Just adding some not awful depth on the line should be fine for them.
-
I really don't think Blackmon is even going to be an option. I think the Colts take Luck (or somebody does) with the 1st pick and the Rams take him with the 2nd. I have a feeling they'd have to be overwhelmed (read: stupid level overpay) with picks to trade out of that spot and not get Blackmon.
-
Why are Buck and Aikman all bundled up? Why isn't there heat in the press boxes? That seems strange as recently as the stadium was renovated. Damn I hope they got that. Sweet.
-
Hopefully that screws them as bad as the one in the Chiefs game screwed the Bears.
-
How have those last 2 hits on Manning not been flagged? They both led with the helmet and the 2nd guy hit him in the chin.

The first one that popped into my head was Beckett for Hanley and Anibal Sanchez. -

You are just wrong about this. Bill James proved pretty conclusively in the 1980s that properly adjusted minor league statistics are just as predictive as major-league statistics. Yes, sometimes prospects flame out. Most of the time, this isn't because their MiLB statistics weren't predictive enough, it's because their MiLB statistics were projecting them to be not good enough but the team was counting on them to improve with age. You don't really believe what you just posted, do you? ML teams call up players who have lousy numbers in the minors because they think those lousy minor league numbers will improve with age. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Re-read what he wrote. Nowhere did he say anything about the majors. He just said that prospects flame out. -

I doubt Garza would sign this, but I'd like to see a five year extension with two vesting option years potentially taking him through his age 34 season. 2012 - $9 2013 - $12 2014 - $14 2015 - $14 2016 - $14 2017 - $14 vesting option based on IP combined in 2015 and 2016 2018 - $14 vesting option based on IP combined in 2016 and 2017 Full no-trade clause through 2014. Limited no-trade protection for 2015 and 2016. No no-trade protection for 2017 and 2018. That's $63/5 guaranteed. Potentially $91/7. That's a great deal for the Cubs, but if I was his agent, there's no way I'd agree to that. He'd have to be getting something like $15-18MM in each of those FA years to make it worthwhile because you're paying about market value for his last 2 years under team control. And I have no doubt that he'd probably get a deal similar to what Z got when he re-signed (5/$90MM was it?) or better if he actually hits the open market. -
Yeah, for as much as he just seems like a meathead, he kind of gets the big picture. Hopefully his X and O knowledge is as impressive as that quote.
-
So no bitching about the completely illegal glove move that resulted in the penalty shot because the camera angle was shitty? Should have been a goal and no OT to begin with.
-
I'm pretty sure it was just a green font whiff. Which is surprising with him being a Celtics fan.
-
LOLOL your argument is that a defense playing with five pro bowlers (two defensive players of the year) couldn't contain Tebow because they were without their nose tackle and Brett Keisel for some of the game Seriously, pro bowlers? Lame. At least try to make a solid argument. Now, I'm not say all the guys missing are ridiculously important cogs in the Pittsburgh defense, but when you have to try to replace 2 of 3 starting defensive linemen in game, you're probably screwed. Especially when you're facing a guy like Tebow who runs all over the place and discipline is paramount in containing him. There were a lot of plays in the second half where a starting d line guy probably would have been in position to make a stop and instead, Tebow ran for 10 or 12 yards. Plus, a few of the big pass plays he did make, I have a feeling the starting Pro Bowl safety who wasn't able to play might have had a hand in preventing.
-
That was a hell of a catch.
-
And it just happened again on the 1st play of this drive.
