  1. Yeah...Gordon/Deng/Tyrus and a first round pick doesn't seem like such a bad deal now does it? Heh, I did think it was too much at the time. I'll admit it. I figured the Bulls would've been about where the Lakers were a couple seasons ago if they made that trade. But it's not like if we traded for Kobe we'd have him with Rose.
  2. What an acting job by the Seminoles punter. Dude's a weapon.
  3. Anyone see the New York Times piece about the OU/Texas recruiting battle over Jamarkus McFarland? http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/26/sports/ncaafootball/26recruit.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1 It's an interesting read and there's been a lot of hand wringing from Horns fans over the allegations in the article. But I thought it seemed fairly tame and pretty much completely in line with what I thought goes on during mega power recruiting battles. Unless you're shocked that schools use things like booze and attractive women to showcase their programs it probably won't shock you too much either.
  4. Good game. Go Frogs.
  5. Matt Ryan is a huge reason the Falcons offense is good. Have you seen him play? He has everything you could want in an NFL quarterback. He's going to be the best quarterback in the NFC shortly.
  6. Unbelievably bad defense against the Pistons thus far. Derrick has a long way to go in that regard as well.
  7. Those teams built up those rankings before they played in Chicago in December. The Bears benefitted significantly from playing New Orleans in Chicago instead of the dome and they won't have that benefit Sunday. That is a huge difference. No, it's not a game they should lose, but this is a flawed team that is pretty lucky to have won 3 times in a row. I don't see it lasting. At the same time, our own passing attack had to play in those conditions as well. I'm hoping (praying?) Orton will be better. He'll probably always throw brutal INTs but he has been more accurate than he has shown in the last two weeks. He can't throw a deep ball at all but he's shown when he's in rhythm he can sling the intermediate routes well. We didn't have those last night.
  8. Any Cub fan that roots for anyone but the Bears is a subhuman epsilon semi-moron anyway. Cubs-Packers, Cubs-Vikings. Really?
  9. The middle of the line caved in immediately. Crosby did kick it low but he didn't seem to have much of a chance. The breakdown in protection was that bad.
  10. Hester would've had himself a game if Orton threw him a single catchable ball. Well I guess he did drop that one throw in the red zone that probably had too much mustard on it. The other ones were horrific throws into the dirt at his feet or that duck on the deep ball.
  11. Yeah once we started pulling lineman we ran the ball well.
  12. Man, the Giants offensive line is freakin' dominant. They coordinate beautifully with pulling linemen.
  13. How's that? They'd have 11 wins and the only other 11 win team would be a wild card Atlanta.
  14. New York has nothing tangible to play for next week no matter what happens against Carolina right?
  15. The phrase squib kick still sends me into an apoplectic rage.
  16. The Broncos collapse is Mets-like in its hilarity. The only way it could be topped is if the Chargers lose to them in some equally hilarious fashion next week. I wonder what game is going to be flexed to Sunday night.
  17. You would be correct, good sir. Though that should have been pass interference on the Falcons. If anything it should've been offensive PI. Rice had his right arm nearly extended pushing off on the DB and he clearly initiated the first contact.
  18. Falcons can't anything done offensively. They're in "hold on for dear life" mode.
  19. It's too bad they've ostracized Jim McMahon from the program because he could make up for the entire do-gooder fan base in those two areas.
  20. After watching the Pats obliterate the Cardinals...I'm feeling good about Tavaris Jackson having to play pressure packed games for the Vikings the last two weeks.
  21. I wonder if Leinart ever thought he'd come into a game down 41-0 to Matt Cassel.
  22. willie tuitama will be better in the nfl than saint tebow. he'll probably circumcise more oprhans too.
  23. But...2 carries for 159 yard and 2 TDs on consecutive drives after pulling within 2. I mean...has that ever happened?
