  1. Has anyone bestowed the cheesy "first letter of first name, first syllable of last name" nicknaming convention on Eric Decker yet?
  2. Neckbeard is doing it
  3. way 2 b, kyle
  4. Rodgers just threw a ball that went for 50+ yards in the air on a line.
  5. Would you take Moore or Strasburg?
  6. I'm not so sure about that. How many former good college and NBDL quality players are already playing overseas? If it becomes really apparent that the season is going to be lost I could easily see dozens of teams in the different countries opening up a few roster spots a piece for NBA role players.
  7. Sorry for low content OP, but Rangers/Rays just started and there wasn't a thread up. Future Cub vs. Matt Moore. Should be interesting.
  8. I'm SICK..I'm just crying..seriously I am crying -- The Red Sox are part of my psyche since I was 3 years old and could remember wanting to play hardball. They said I couldn't cuz i was a girl, so I said I want to be a rabbi instead --- 1953 -- Nope they said can't do that so this little girl had to be satisfied watching from the bleachers...the two stories have no relation except my heart was and is broken -- The Red Sox, our beloved Red Sox -- I wore a Red Sox uniform to sleep when I was a kid. Boston my loved to the core Boston--I LOVE that city and this state SO much I would not care if it seceded from a union that does not work for me and so many others. So I am sad on many levels. I never became a rabbi, I never got to play baseball and now now again my heart is down to my toes as my country sinks to the bottom fast and elects a president I thought was going to be FDR -- FAR from it. I prayed this am.. I never pray not because it's Rosh Hashanna, the Jewish high holiday, maybe that is unique but I just prayed because I am SO sad. Life's dreams get shattered and you don't know why except maybe god if there is one has other plans! Please god can't you choose me to be on the lucky team just ONCE -- only once. Lucky are they who strike life's lottery. I didn't and the clock is running out on my game. If not now when?
  9. Last DRose in game action for the rest of 2011: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYCb2ZcGnIA&feature=player_embedded
  10. Sweetness was apparently a big fan of Phish:
  11. Anyone read the excerpts about Payton in SI? Haven't read it yet but I heard it blurbed on Dan Patrick and I guess it goes into his life after football and it being pretty messy. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1190867/1/index.htm
  12. But that's the thing. We took the lead in that game. There's no reason, or excuse, for not winning game 7. We should have held that lead and won the game. Wood didn't look sharp at all from the very first inning though. Edit: I should say that Sosa's homer in Game 1 and Wood's homer in Game 7 were the most orgasmic events I have ever witnessed as a sports fan but the jubilation over the Wood homer didn't last long and I got that gnawing doubt back really fast.
  13. I'm astonished that anyone actually thought we'd win game 7. Even when Wood homered I was waiting for the other shoe to drop. Never, ever felt confident about that game for a second.
  14. I'm more interested in Woody and Oliver's take on the movie.
  15. I think the no audibles thing is really out of date in today's NFL. I think a big part of the success of the Rams was great personnel and being relentlessly aggressive with the play calling. Teams have adjusted to that and are willing to let the Bears try to attack over and over because the players are subpar. Cutler's played a lot of football and should have a free reign to adjust things at the line.
  16. USC is ripe for an ass kicking. Matt Barkley is making me pine for John David Booty.
  17. We also need some passing ideas besides Cutler taking a deep drop and expecting our receivers to get open 15-20+ yards down the field and having the protection hold up. Absolutely zero effort to get Cutler on the perimeter on roll/sprint outs, bootlegs, etc. Martz still thinks he has Warner and Bruce/Holt out there or something. He only called a screen on 3rd and mile a too when that's been the best weapon.
  18. Damn I shut the game off after that failed 4th down conversion and it appears I missed something to whine about!
  19. That Google commercial is so good.
  20. I'm not too impressed with Podlesh. Very Maynardesque punts.
  21. Yes Martz, call another play that involves long developing routes and our line holding up for 5+ seconds. Green Bay is all over it and there's been no adjusting with quick hitters or a screen game. [expletive] stupid.
  22. That set of downs sucked.
  23. There's a bomb in the turf
  24. Sanzenbacher just saved Roy Williams
  25. This final drive by McNabb will be hilarious, pathetic, and sad all at once. The Vikings are so worthless.
