Considering the way the parade of criminals are handled at any number of programs year after year there is some arbitrariness involved in this decision.
-
The Jets have more good football players than almost any team. That's why they should be good, IMO. Although if Revis doesn't come back then who knows. Wasn't he supposed to sign an extension last week or something?
-
US up 2 on Brazil going into the 4th.
-
Wasn't Gordon hurt a lot at IU?
-
He looked good against Russia too. His size is pretty legit and he's not soft. Rose is running team USA really well too.
-
Tiger said he'd "absolutely" break Nicklaus' record of 18 majors. I'm telling you, this guy's ego is bigger than ever. Anyway, I used to think he'd easily cruise past Jack and rack up 25 or so majors but now I'm not so sure. I'll give him like a 70% chance. One way I think about it is that he has to win 1 more major than Mickelson has won in his entire career to break the record. It's a tall order.

I kinda dig Gruden's over the top enthusiasm.

Is this Atletico Madrid - Inter game meaningful at all? I can't keep up with all these quasi-exhibition matches.

...COME ON

Until Squanto's shoulder blows up and St. Louis is left on the hook for a zillion dollars.

I've never heard of Scottie beating up his girlfriend or having (that many) illegitimate children. The tipping thing is well known though. I even trolled UMFan about it on RealGM using lines lifted directly from Reservoir Dogs.
-
Maybe we'll be good again by then.
-
Marc Stein said it'd be Kobe which is probably just as dumb.
-
Some nut on ESPN predicted that Jared Sullinger would be the best NBA player of this decade.

How much of that lack of productivity/efficiency is actually Cutler's fault? Especially last year. All those QBs you mentioned have MUCH better surrounding players than what Cutler has now and probably what he had in Denver. Marshall is the only offensive player that stands out to me who played with Cutler in Denver. A lot of it. The guy makes a lot of bonehead errors. He did it in Denver when he had good receivers and the best pass protection in football (although not to the extent he did last season). I've been driving the Bears WRs stink bandwagon for over a year now but saying Cutler doesn't shoulder a large amount of the blame for his play last year is pure revisionist history. If you can watch Cutler and then watch a game where those other QBs I mentioned and say this guy is nearly as accurate and smart with the football as them...you're delusional.

Maybe on the eye test. As for actual productivity/efficiency, no. It's not close.

You also want an offense that can dictate the tempo, control the clock, and protect leads. Scoring points is great and critical but you can always system your way to putting up points if you have even a little bit of talent. It's kinda like Texas Tech in college football. They'll always have big numbers but it's hard for them to win games against great opponents because they're one dimensional and can't control the clock when they need to. I know, i wish we had a type offense that went to 2 Super Bowls and won one. Wait we do. Tech's defense has historically sucked and the 2009 Arizona Cardinals and 2010 Saints and Colts didnt run the ball either. Running is only important in short yardage situations. If it was as easy as systeming your way to points the Jets should go to that and blow through the league this year. The Saints were one of the best running teams in football last year. Also, Cutler isn't on the same planet as Brees or Manning (or Rodgers, Rivers, Brady, etc) so he needs a better running attack behind him than those type of guys. It'd help a lot...especially if we could get in the end zone on the run rather than let him brain fart the football away.

I missed the Bears/Raiders game and then the first repeat but for some reason I woke up at like 4 AM and saw the first half on NFL Network. Even in my blearly eyed state it's impossible to overstate how bad Chris Williams was.
-
That Rice injury is great news for the Bears. With Harvin's head being all messed up that should pull them closer to the rest of the division.
-
Prediction: The idea that Rondo is a better player than Rose will look completely laughable after this season. I mean it already is but I can see why you would be duped (kinda).

I'm not sure UT-Bama registers as a big rivalry outside of SEC country...although it sure would've been nice if the Vols woulda beat them last year. UT-Florida was huge, though, especially in the Spurrier years when UT was also a national power. I remember it being the first, enormous game of the year because it's usually in September. For awhile it also seemed like the first SEC nationally televised night game and those are always big. I specifically remember Alex Brown owning UT singlehandedly one season.

Sammy Sosa has some things to say about the Cubs
SpongeWorthy replied to UMFan83's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Is Sammy really a pariah in Chicago? If he showed up somewhere in Chicago not looking like a zombie I feel like he'd be warmly received, for the most part. -
Bears sign UDFA Aaron Webster. He's a safety. Probably need the depth with Wright and Steltz being hurt and Afalava being Afalava.
-
Zah-Vee-A Henry still hasn't signed with the Grizzlies and is apparently being shopped. Who wants to drive the dumpster truck full of blood money up to Memphis to pry him away?
