    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.

    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.

    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.

    This game is really chippy and the refs are blowing it.

    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.

    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.

    Stupid Ducks. We were so close to going an entire decade without a Big 10 team winning the Rose Bowl.

    LOL

    I can't get over the field conditions in the PSU/LSU game. Distracting as hell.

    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)?

    I would be surprised if you could get a 2nd for Hester now that he's not some return maestro any more.

    Another good showing by a Stoops coached team in a bowl game.

    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.

    What does Boise State have anything to do with this game? Really? They won their most famous game by the same score, same ballsy 2 point conversion call, and their biggest rival just happened to do the same thing on its field? I think there's some symmetry here. They're playing on Boise State's home field? Um, yeah. The Humantarian Bowl is held in Boise State's stadium on the smurf turf.

Not as big an upset or a stage, obviously, but Idaho's been a doormat for years.

    Boise State over OU was 43-42 as well. That's some poetry right there.

    I'd rather try to move Hinrich or even Deng in a move for expirings. Unloading those guys for McGrady doesn't really improve our cap situation does it? Unless Salmons is really serious about not exercising his opt out...in which case I would be threatening him with a ton of DNP-CDs in 2010-2011.

    Hoho, Adrian Wojnarowski puts Forman on blast and gives a half hearted defense to VDN: http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_ylt=AlyKl7lOE0XQeQv7Je1TpW28vLYF?slug=aw-formanbulls123009&prov=yhoo&type=lgns Good stuff.

    Pretty hilarious implosion by Temple against UCLA. First they throw a pick six to a UCLA DE on their own goal line and now their long snapper snapped the ball about 10 feet too high and caused a safety.

    Agreed. San Diego has similar problems with the Bears in that their passing game is way better than their running game. Obviously, San Diego is a better team, but the point is that late in games, Rivers will try to make a big play on 1st down when the opposing team figures they will run the ball to run some clock. They know the running game is bad when the defense doesn't know they are running the ball, so what would be the point of running it when they basically assume you are running it. Time and again, Rivers exposes the defense with those types of plays. In fairness, the final touchdown pass in overtime is exactly what I'm referring to. They were almost in field goal range to begin with, and the defense was probably counting on another running play or a short 1st down type of pass, which allowed for DA to have a one on one opportunity. The one thing about Turner's playbook has always been its transparency. There just aren't enough smart gambles in there. San Diego goes for the big play on all downs from all points on the field at nearly every situation in the game. It's quite effective too. They also have gigantic receivers and a great deep ball throwing QB.

    Yeah, the turf at Soldier is a joke. There was one play on the drive where the Vikings tied it up to force OT where G. Adams (who finally showed some things last night) blew past McKinnie on the edge and was going to light up Favre but he fell coming around the corner. Tons of guys just slipping up.

    I was gonna say he looked like every guy I bought weed from in college.

    Really you should just stop watching football period if you are still angsty about what Cutler did tonight. You are doing it wrong. I'm still angsty about Cutler being terrible this year. The good thing about him being so bad this year is that next year people will have totally forgotten that the idea in giving up so much to get him was for him to be elite and not merely good for 4 games out of the season.

    You're just not watching a lot of NFL games if you think Cutler was GREAT tonight. He was good. Go through a game log of Rivers, Manning, Rodgers, or Brees some time. They play better than Cutler did tonight...routinely. I guess it's a semantic thing though. He's still been hot garbage most of the year.
  25. SpongeWorthy
    He was 1/3 on connecting passes where Antoine Winfield was completely dusted. Whoopty doo. He had a GREAT game, its ok you can admit it. He was good, not great. I've seen dozens of better quarterback performances this season (including one by the opposing QB tonight). Manning, Brees, Rivers, and Rodgers have each had at least half a dozen performances that were better than Cutler's tonight.
