  1. I'm not a huge Mallet fan, but you can't hold the Sugar Bowl against him. That's an entirely different game if his receivers make catches they're supposed to make. The first pass of the game should have been a TD and there were a few others that were easy catches that got dropped. I don't remember the guy's name, but #5 for Arkansas was the biggest culprit on the drops. He was just bad that night.
  2. That's a pretty big discrepancy, but I have to think that has a lot to do with their style of play, especially when they get behind and start pressing more aggressively.
  3. New girlfriend time. Sounds like your girlfriend doesn't have to consent for you to have sex with her anymore....
  4. Why would you have ever stopped? I did enjoy seeing Davis appear to have a pulse last night, but as has been mentioned, Penn State had guys my size going up against him (I'm 5'9").
  5. There's something going on that we don't know about yet. They all tested negative for illegal drugs, but nobody has said anything about supplements or their weekend activities before Monday's workout (my guess is a lot of alcohol was consumed). They've been doing this exact same workout for years without any issues at all. My bet is that it comes out they got overloaded on protein supplements. That exact same thing happened to a buddy of mine in college and that's exactly what the problem was. He was a pretty serious weight lifter and was taking creatine, protein, and a few other totally legal supplements and ended up with too much protein in his system and the kidneys got overwhelmed. He got IV fluids at the hospital and was fine within a few days.
  6. Certrtainly looks like the refs have decided they're going to make sure everybody knows they're out there tonight. Idiots.
  7. Because one of the Mike's tampons might fall out.
  8. Has the officiating been as bad as it's seemed to me? Illinois is playing really dumb basketball, but it seems like we're getting drilled around the hoop with no calls and as long as IU gets near the hoop a foul gets called.
  9. Well, that story is most likely false. And if it's not false, those high school coaches/trainers should be indicted. Oh, it's false. There's no doubt in my mind about that. I had a teammate in high school who blew out his knee over the summer and was barely able to run cross country (you know, straight forward running with no cutting on potentially uneven ground) that fall and had surgery on the knee 2 days after our last meet. There's no way in hell you could even think about playing soccer with no ACL.
  10. After all the bashing, I think it can be nothing but a good thing when guys like Brees and Rivers say stuff like this. They have a bit of perspective on things and may shut some people up considering that, you know, they're actually NFL QBs.
  11. My weakness is this sausage dip. A pound of hot pork sausage and a pound of mild. Brown the sausage, throw it in a crock pot with 2 bricks of cream cheese and a can of Rotel Cilantro and Lime. Let it all melt and use the Tostitos scoops for dipping. Absolutely awful for you but so delicious.
  12. Maybe not this year, but the Rams started their 2nd round pick from this year at LT from day 1 and he's going to be at that spot for a long time.
  13. Intentional!!!!
  14. Can you name me a player who retired (whether he just quit or because of injuries) while still on his contract and not get paid at all whatsoever?? Cuz I can't think of one. If you can and it's legit, I'll shut up and eat my words on it. I'm just thinking cuz the player's union is going to back up the players, they're just not gonna let the owner have that money to himself even if Meche doesn't want the money. I mean I'm even trying to think of a player (who quit/retired due to injury) during a season and not get paid after he was done cuz they still pay him for the rest of the year. That's a little different, but still kinda the same (they didn't pay the player a prorated portion of the salary cuz he retired/quit partway through the season cuz the contract was voided the day he retired). I mean this can't be the first time someone ever done what Meche is doing now right??? Maybe I should just shut up cuz I don't understand or something... Maybe there is a clause in the contract where the contract is voided if you retire on your own term. I don't have that much knowledge about the contract and retirement so I'm just wondering and trying to figure it out. So you think that if you have a contract and decide you don't want to show up for work anymore that your employer still has to pay you? Really?
  15. You also have to consider the huge personalities on the team and the fact that there were several sure fire HOFers on that 85 team, then you add in Ditka as the HC and Buddy Ryan as the DC. The hoopla around this team just isn't quite there. The only reason it's even in the ballpark of some of the other things being discussed is because it's against the Packers. That said, I'm excited as hell about the game and hope they just curb stomp the Pack.
  16. Why do you speak ill of Musberger? Is he not as good at basketball games? I think he sucks at announcing regardless of the sport. Watch some Big Ten Network or Jimmy Dykes (I think) doing SEC games and you'll long for Musberger.
  17. Bears-Chuck Norris Packers-Does it even matter?
  18. and bears fans are like "omg the pats lost" I certainly am. Can't really believe it. 60 minutes just had a report on this guy who has won millions & millions betting on football. I wonder if he had the Jets. I wonder if he had the Seahawks last week. I freely admit it. I can no more predict football than I can climb Mt. Everest. Yeah, the NFL has become ridiculously unpredictable. I have a really hard time rooting for a rapist, so, while the Jets are annoying, at least their players only get DUIs and the like.
  19. Yeah, I've been supportive to this point, but it's becoming obvious that this offense just doesn't work the way he runs it. If you have to have an NBA All Star to make it work, you need to go a different direction. I'm beginning to think Weber does need to go.
  20. Suspended for missing a practice earlier this week. And not that it would have mattered. Between the sheer stupidity this team displays and the fact Wisconsin was allowed to play football in the first half, there was no way we were winning.
  21. This is pathetic. 15-15 with 5 minutes left? Ugh. And the officiating has been awful for both teams again
  22. Delete if necessary, but ESPN sucks so I figure it's ok.
  23. I'd imagine Bush would be looking for (and finding easily) a starting job. And I don't think a backup RB should be signed via FA since there's only so many dollars to spend on FA. Never mind, I'm occasionally illiterate.
  24. Because Illinois has had guys who either couldn't shoot or are as stupid as they come on a basketball court.
  25. This continues to be the dumbest team ever, with special mentin to Davis.
