  1. 300 miles is the same distance as Chicago to STL. Put the Astros and the Rangers in the same division, and there's your rivalry.
  2. What would be cool is if this guy offered, say, $700M if he gets to keep the team in the NL, or $500M if he's going to be railroaded into the AL. Obviously the franchise's value is tied to the league it is in, so it would make sense. Put it in Selig's court to decide which is most important -- maximizing franchise value, or getting the division alignments he wants. The guy would be a moron for not going to the AL. Bunch of games against an in state rival and more games against the Yankees and Red Sox. It's hardly a given that it would be more profitable for the Astros to play in the AL. They already play the Rangers in interleague play. And they'd trade like 15-20 home dates with the Cubs and Cards for 6 home dates with the Yanks and Sox. They'd replace those Cards and Cubs games with a bunch of Rangers games. And while the Cards and Cubs travel well, they don't travel well enough to make up for that. Those games would be sold out much more often. A new owner would welcome the AL move with open arms.
  3. You're down 8 in the 3rd quarter. Why the hell don't you take the FG?
  4. Nice balls punch Woodson

  6. I'm trying to figure out who the target demographic is for that show. I've got "people confined to bed rest who lost their remote" so far. Sad 30 year old women?
  7. Sproles is on my bench in a league that counts return yards. /Shut up about your fantasy team.
  8. Kickoffs etc.
  9. So, Whitney is gonna make it what, 6 episodes before they're moved and burned off?
  10. Was just going to post that.
  11. yeah, why the hell did they change it in the first place? Kickoffs are like concussion parties for those without the ball. I still like the idea to give up on the whole idea of kickoffs, give the scoring team the ball on their own 30 with a 4th and 10(or on the 35 with 4th and 15, etc). Let them punt or try to play make it take it. Football is a concussion party by nature. I think that's way too radical of a change to the game. I think the rule change will be talked about for a few weeks and then largely forgotten.
  12. I think it's just called blitzing, which wasn't done in Jaws time.
  13. Nice 1st down catch by ELCABALLO's XBox live friend Tom Crabtree.
  14. There's no way that's a real movie right?
  15. Driver just got blasted.
  16. Won't settle anything, but maybe an ass whipping would help him realize that he's not a badass because he played hockey as a teenager.
  17. Morgan was yapping the instant he swung and missed. He was still on his side of the batters box. I don't know how Carpenter would have had time to say [expletive] you before Morgan was jawing. http://stlouis.cardinals.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20110907&content_id=24390470&vkey=news_stl&c_id=stl Carpenter even mentioned he started it. Carpenter is the biggest cry baby in the league. This is not surprising. Carpenter said Morgan had been running his mouth all game and apparently didn't like it when he said something back. Carp wasn't the one yelling immediately after the pitch, walking down the line yelling or flinging a mouthful of chew in Morgan's direction. You're right that Carp's a huge [expletive], but you're just being a homer on this one.
  18. Well, there's number 3 and the first quarter isn't over.
  19. I like the Madden 12 playcalling. 3rd and 1 from midfield, play action bomb.
  20. Matthews going for the big hit sack instead of trying to get a piece of Brees arm was pretty bad too. And, nice catch Meachem.
  21. They're playing the Super Bowl Champs, except now they're healthy.

  23. That #1 2012 pick is going to be crazy valuable for them though. Get a ton for it in a trade.
