  1. Hes a restricted free agent, we have nothing to trade for him. How does that work exactly? I'm seeing that Marshall, among many others, loses unrestricted status if 2010 is an uncapped year. So we'd have to give up a pick(s) that we don't have to sign him if Denver refuses to match?
  2. Also, it's looking like Marshall is a goner in Denver...he's a must-target.
  3. Yes, the passing game is the most important part. But I hope the Bears go from at god awful to at least something approaching average on a per carry basis. Cutler just isn't a good enough decision maker yet to guide an attack entirely with his arm. I doubt he ever will be ala Manning or Rivers. That's why I'm hoping that stuff about Forte's knee is accurate and he'll be full speed next season. He was tentative all year.
  4. Ray Rice is very, very good. ~2000 yards from scrimmage, 5.3 yards per attempt. Charles is explosive as hell and will get tons of fantasy hype going into next year.
  5. Some Jersey cement executive types got to the Bengals while they were practicing this week and told them they had nothing to lose by shaving points. I'm convinced of it.
  6. This Bengals offense walked all over the Bears and now a completed pass is a minor miracle.
  7. That was like a 10-8 round by the Jets there. Just physically dominating the Bengals the entire quarter.
  8. I felt that if they didn't fire Lovie then they'd bring Turner back anyways. I can't see them bringing in a new OC for 2010, then if they underachieve again, having them fire Lovie and hiring someone new, who will then bring in ANOTHER new OC for 2011. I just have a hard time seeing them having three offenses in three years. Which just goes to show what a mess the coaching situation is is that you have to assume mediocrity via continuity. Cleaning house is still in order.
  9. Now I get to watch a meaningless Chargers/Skins game instead of Cowboys/Eagles. Crap.
  10. Derrick's really starting to get it. Get himself to the line consistently and it opens everything up for him.
  11. See, I think a lot of that stuff has been removed from sports. Mainly for the worse. And now every time someone gets out of line on the court it gets blown up like some egregious act of sports terrorism. The idea that an elbow would warrant an ejection from a basketball game 15-20+ years ago would've been utterly laughable. I usually hate the tools that wax nostalgic about the way things used to be but that is one aspect of sports that I miss. I think it had to do with being raised on Bulls/Pistons and Bulls/Knicks games.
  12. You prefer that a guy punches somebody in the face while lying on top of him rather than say hi before the game? I'd rather be the whiny moralizer rather than root for this embarrassment You're a Celtics fan. You already root for this embarrassment. He's called Rajon Rondo. We can throw in KG's belligerent screaming and Paul Pierce faking injuries in for good measure. Now I actually kind of like all that stuff (besides the Pierce thing which is just weak as hell). Games would be boring if everyone were quiet and demure like Ray Allen.
  13. I prefer the occasional elbow and passion over the 10 minutes of chest bumps and butt slaps you usually see before tip off. It's all a big fraternizing circle jerk now. Of course SSR comes in with the whiny moralizing right on cue.
  14. This game is really chippy and the refs are blowing it.
  15. If Brennaman is calling the game you might be awakened by the first instance of fellatio being performed in front of a live national audience.
  16. The Bucks could be deadly next year if Pryor can keep developing. Young had that big Rose Bowl game against Michigan and was all world the next season.
  17. Stupid Ducks. We were so close to going an entire decade without a Big 10 team winning the Rose Bowl.
  18. I can't get over the field conditions in the PSU/LSU game. Distracting as hell.
  19. Hey Raisin, how do you feel rooting for the 5th best basketball team in LA :twisted: (after the Lakers, Clippers, USC, and the Sparks of course)?
  20. I would be surprised if you could get a 2nd for Hester now that he's not some return maestro any more.
  21. Another good showing by a Stoops coached team in a bowl game.
  22. It's Bruce Weber's MO to lose to crappy teams on our home court. I am growing tired of this [expletive] even with the upturn in recruiting We're the crappy team. I'm reminded of The Office. Toby: We should really have the office's air quality tested. We have radon coming from below and asbestos in the ceilings - these are silent killers. Michael: You are the silent killer.
