Didn't the Falcons throw a ton? I seem to remember a lot of high pass attempt totals for Ryan. Edit: Atlanta was 4th in the league in passing attempts. Chicago was 27th.

Sox fans love to vote for the dumbest option on those polls though. I remember seeing a WSI thread about skewing some tribune poll at one point.

I think it's actually the other way around. I think he's so delusional that he thinks he can say whatever he wants and that he's untouchable.

I mean, we dislike Lebron so much we're rooting for the freaking Celtics....blech.

I'm more confused by how they would fit Steve Nash in money-wise.

that's exactly what it was. The best part is how they lost the landmark status anyway. Mainly because they made it bloody hideous from the outside. You're gonna give Ricketts ideas.

That's why GarPax gets the big bucks. To make the hard decisions.

And he's so humble!

The field condition and the size of the stadium seem to be larger obstacles than the weather, to me.

I know I'm in the vast minority, but I have to agree with Kyle on this. I wouldn't say that football has been "ruined", but instant replay has definitely changed how I view the game. Instead of being excited after a spectacular touchdown catch, now my first thought is whether or not it will be overturned. I don't want the same thing to happen in baseball, where a diving catch can't be celebrated because we have to wait for an answer to come down from the replay booth. I don't believe you aren't excited after a TD catch. Replay or not. If the umps do their jobs right, replays won't be necessary. Do you believe that we're less excited than we would be without the possibility of replay? No, I believe you're excited exactly the same amount. I believe you're hugely disappointed if the call gets overturned, but I don't believe your excitement is diminished. What about the times where replay provides excitement that would not have otherwise occured? A fumble that makes your heart drop....but it's overturned on review. Something of that nature. I don't buy the "less excitement" argument. It might change exactly when and where you get excited, but I don't think anyone that watches the NFL regularly can say that it's less exciting now than it was pre-replay. And if they are saying that, I'm calling BS.

Hahaha...Kordell Stewart called a press conference in Pittsburgh to announce his retirement..... http://www.post-gazette.com/stories/sports/steelers/seven-years-later-slash-signs-off-as-a-steeler-638178/ Thanks for clearing up your status there, Kordell.

Anyone watch this? -
I'm trying to think of some really exciting play in baseball that would be affected by any kind of replay that could potentially ruin the excitmenet. A play at the plate is the obvious one. Maybe a close fair/foul call on what was thought to be a run scoring XBH down the line? I don't even think umps often get fair/foul calls wrong. The place I'm most interested in replay is on close plays at any base. And it looks like that's not going to be be a part of this intial "roll out". But it's gotta start somewhere.

Instead of 5 minutes of a manager kicking dirt on the ump, throwing his hat, and chucking a base across the field? Yes. You don't think there's a difference between: "Something cool just happened, now let's waste five minutes on some stupid manager arguing tradition." vs. "Maybe something cool just happened, or maybe it didn't, but let's wait five minutes to find out." Maybe the latter doesn't bother you as much as it bothers me, but you can't say there's no difference. I can say that "wasting time" isn't a factor, as there's plenty of "time wasted" in baseball with arguments over bad calls as it is.

Carimi practiced yesterday. Not sure exactly how much. Today's practice is open to the media, so we should know more today.

Yeah, I liked it ok enough till it got overplayed, but they do a good job with the lyrics in the parody.

The Bears aren't in any hurry. Forte has no leverage. He's not a UFA.
