The 2006-07 Colts got Bob Sanders back before the playoffs and suddenly had a defense again. You think they win that Ravens crapfest without him? So this current 14-0, +146 point differential, 5th ranked defense Colts team is going to lose in the playoffs because the 2006 12-4, +67 point differential, 23rd ranked defense Colts team might not have won one of their playoff games without Bob Sanders? My point is when the 06 Colts 'played with fire' they became a better team in the playoffs because they got their best defensive player back. That isn't going to happen this year which makes the comparison invalid.

It's only been 45 years since the Lou Brock trade. I'm not saying Milton Bradley is a Hall of Famer but intentionally taking on the Carlos Silva contract... it has to be a cry for help. Someone should institutionalize Hendry for his own benefit. Lou Brock was shitty as a Cub, I've seen the numbers. The fact that he went HOF for the Cardinals really wasn't the Cubs' fault. This trade absolutely is. -
I seriously may not watch this year. You have to be intentionally sabotaging the team to make this trade. This is one of the worst trades ever, period.

No 'probably' about it. ND makes significantly less money as an independent than they would in the Big Tweleven. Jack Swarbrick even said so. when they were in BCS bowls, they had a leg to stand on (not having to share their take) but now that they're turning down the pizza bowl, I'm sure they'd love to have a 1/12th cut of all the big Ten bowl payout The previous AD made the genius move of negotiating it so that ND receives about a third of the money they used to when making BCS games but receives about twice as much as it used to when it doesn't. I think ND's decision on whether or not to join the Big Ten would have a lot less to do with football than it would with academics and such. It's supposedly the ND faculty and some of the administration that most wants to join the league for academic benefit (basically the ones that are annoyed that Notre Dame has a notable football program and yet reap financial benefit from said football program), but the alumni and most of the fans are vehemently against it.

Corwin Brown - late of the ND associate head coach/secondary coach position - supposedly interviewed at Buffalo to replace Turner Gill.

Surely they have a few bucks laying around. Have they really splurged on anything since Miguel Tejada? Was it Baltimore or Washington that made a massive offer to Teixeira last offseason? I think it was the Orioles, but I'm not sure. They both did IIRC.
-
Missouri released a statement today saying they'd evaluate the idea if the Big Ten approached them (but they haven't yet).
-
I'd say winning at Philly is more like a colossal if than merely a big one. Philly might be the 2nd best team in the NFC, depending on one's opinion of Minnesota.
-
TCU would make a ton of sense for the Big 12. Weren't they the team that got passed up for Baylor when the SWC/Big 8 merger happened? It'd be poetic justice in a sense.
-
Poor guy has a look on his face that screams, "Dear God, I hope this doesn't get on the Internet". Probably praying to get drafted by a warm weather team.

Looks like the Panthers have a shot at 2 Sunday Night Football humiliations in 3 weeks if the Saints get to 15-0.
-
Never heard either one described that way. Always heard IU and Wisconsin, sometimes Ohio State.
-
Michigan at the end had a wild lateral play and Nebraska's entire team ran onto the field before the play was over, which probably should have resulted in a penalty.
-
Unknown whether Dan LeFevour left a team meeting early and popped off to the press about Jones 'leaving for the money'. I wonder who Central will get now.

This would be the best move. They could move it between Ford Field*, Lucas Oil and Soldier Field. If they wanted to branch out further they could include the Bengals' stadium, the Browns' stadium, and/or the Metrodome into that rotation. * There is the MAC title game there so that could create some conflicts, but the MAC should be holding their title game elsewhere anyway, and I'm sure Ford Field would jump at the chance to have a Big Tweleven title game.
-
Not that I want to see it on the list, but the Bush Push game could just as easily be on it, and I'm sure there are a slew of examples that fans of other teams could come up with too.
-
The Big Ten's official statement on expansion is at this link. Basically, it says "we are going to start looking around to see who wants to join and if it's cool with our presidents if they do".

Compensation pick? What sort of devilry is this? How in the world do teams go about getting crazy things like compensation picks? /sarcasm -
Yay for completely meaningless prime-time games...beat Favre I guess.
-
Please oh please sign that deal Matt Holliday. That would make it a hell of a lot harder to lock up Pujols.

The Pac-10 was better than the SEC this year. Significantly better, actually.
-
plus, i mean, it's ball state Exactly, it's Ball [expletive] State, and because it's Ball [expletive] State, 12-0 will never, ever happen again. I'm really not sure why bitterness about the way that ended is so surprising.

The Prairie View A&M head coach really needs a promotion quickly. PVAM lost some 80 straight games and their worst loss was 92-0 in that stretch. They rebounded and won the SWAC championship this year. But yeah, Gill is a very good hire and, I think, is a very good coach. Al Golden should be getting a lot of interest quite soon as well if he can keep Temple in the 6-8 win range. Joe Schad reported that Notre Dame actually interviewed Golden. Granted it was almost certainly a "let's get acquainted with this guy just in case he keeps doing well and we need a coach again in 5-7 years" type thing, but his name is definitely out there. I'm guessing he's gone from Temple after 2010.
