Man, how many times have we done that this year?

Am I the only guy that has never heard of this effing guy

What an assenine comment. If you've read this thread you'd know that the whole argument for wanting the cubs to miss the playoffs is because fans would like to be able to point to more than 3 out of the last 40 seasons as seasons we had a chance. The word you're looking for is asinine. What's "assenine" is your logic. People don't want the Cubs to make the playoffs because we've been lousy in the past? That's just flat out stupid. No real fan would ever want the team they supposedly support to not make the playoffs. Correcting spelling...the sure sign of someone who has a weak argument. I'll bold the asinine comment. If you've read the thread at allyou will realize that those who may not want the team to win, only do so because they are fans who would like to "enjoy the ride" more often than they have been able to in the past. Your implication that those who do not want them to make it to the playoffs aren't real fans just make you look ignorant/you haven't read the thread/unable to follow very simple logic that has been clearly delineated multiple times. If you're going to comment on the intelligence of my post, at least freaking spell the words right that way you don't make yourself look like a complete... nevermind. Regarding the body of your post... all that needs to be said is that if you don't want the Cubs to make the playoffs, you're not a true fan. It's that simple. This isn't an a=b situation, as has been pretty well explained throughout the thread that you apparently aren't paying attention to. I want the Cubs to make the playoffs, I assume that everyone does. But the question is, if we back into the post season, will management see it as a "we're going the right direction" type of deal, when it seems pretty clear that we're not. There's a lot about this team that needs to change, from top to bottom. Would making the playoffs this year help or hinder that change?

Where did anyone say anything other than that?

Seriously though, Dane Cook ruins it for me.

Jags D, for sure. Harrington should be good for at least 2 picks and a handful of sacks. As far as RBs, pick your poison.

Put me on the list as well. How can a person only walk 15 times in a season? 15 walks in 492 at-bats. That's mind-boggling. I think you mean "mind-bottling"

I don't think you understand exactly what his point was, there.

Not really. The larger the playoff is, the more likely the best team isn't crowned champions. No, that's what I'm saying. No one looks at the winner of a playoff and says "well, there's the best team in the nation." They just accept them as the winner of the championship tournament and move on. In a sport where you only play 14 games, it's useless to try to determine who the best team is if you don't have to. Let's stick them in a playoff, crown a champion and go home.

The best team at the end of the year doesn't always end up No. 1 Does anyone think that by January, Ohio State was a better team than USC? No way. But they were higher ranked, because they hadn't lost all season. A playoff would eliminate that little problem.

Are you talking about the Steven Jackson one? I think I like that one even more than the LDT commercial. Say what you will about Nike, but they always come up with awesome advertising.

Can we litter our DL with Sooners? <3 Dusty and Tommie. You can draft Granger and McCoy in a few years. They start at tackle for us now, but they're just a Rs Frosh and a Sophomore.

What's the worst thing that happens? A flag and you lose a foot? Fantastic play.

He just launched himself in the air, that was a thing of beauty.

Brown and Tommie are having a huge game.

I think it was Alex Brown that was about one inch away from hitting Rivers arm and killing this drive.

<3 Tommie Harris. That was sexy.

The reason I'm in favor of a playoff for college football is that I don't feel that the best team has to be the champion, which is what the polls try to determine. We're talking about teams playing, at most, 14 games. And it's not like there's much crossover, where the top teams are playing the same opponents and you can more accurately determine who is better than who. Stick them in a playoff and at the end of the season, crown a champion that may or may not be the best team, instead of the stupidly arbitrary polls that try to do the impossible. Another positive aspect of a playoff system, it would curtail some of the stupid "which conference is stronger" bs. THERE'S NO WAY TO TELL WHEN A GOOD TEAM PLAYS ONE STRONG NON-CON TEAM AND THEN GOES UP AGAINST NOTHING BUT CONFERENCE OPPONENTS.

What's really bad is that you could see he wasn't expecting to be thrown to. not even a decent decoy It looked like when he went to make his cut, he looked back and thought the ball was already in the air, so he just mailed the rest of it in. I don't think he knew the ball was headed his way until it was already picked off.

People are going to give Rex hell for that, but look how many times he's been on the run so far in the first half. He's been running for his life every second time he drops back to pass.

Man the Bears defense is fun to watch.

I havent seen the replay, but if thats the case, Ill be interested to hear if Aikman says it. Nevermind Aikman just openly said it wasnt Grossmans fault, however the rest of the dumbasses in the media will ignore that. He did. Berrian got to the five and just gave up on his route. That was a real Randy Moss move.

A complicated algorithm is going to be the best way. It's too bad people are too stupid to accept it. A lot of the posters here included. Maybe you should explain it to all of us genius? So we can understand it because we'll not nearly as bright as you think you are. It really is fun to see how worked up you get. These college football threads always bring out the best in you.

I like ND, but OH MY. Getting a little ahead of ourselves aren't we ESPN? I think you're missing the joke.
