  1. It changes the trend of the top of the line guys getting bigger and bigger guaranteed contracts. They aren't as concerned about potential 2nd round guys getting first round money, but they don't want the #1 pick in the draft getting $50 million.
  2. Regardless of what it sounds like, the Rangers starting pitchers don't throw that many pitchers per start.
  3. You aren't very good at watching football. It's not like the only choice he had was to grab something and pull it up. That is not a move used in making a tackle.
  4. I can only assume Drew will have fun with this one on KSK: Yeah, only in New York would there be three Steelers fans going to a Steelers bar an hour and a half before gametime. What the hell Peter? You see Steelers fans and Steelers bars in every city.
  5. A first round phenom can still make his demands clear so that he drops out of the top 10 rounds and gets his deal later.
  6. it was a bad call, but it really didn't matter that the refs called the penalty. Only because it was already a blow out.
  7. I watch them all the time and enjoy teasing a friend of mine who is all self conscious about how the league treats the Steelers. Even they aren't anywhere near as dirty as the Lions have shown to be. "So it's going to turn into if you're going to fine me $40,000, I might as well put him to sleep for real or I might as well blow his knee out." - Ryan Clark i'd pull up a bunch of James Harrison quotes too if i thought you might be capable of reasoning with on this matter really, where were these absurd histrionics when Meriweather ran across the field to spear Burleson in the helmet after the play during the first meeting? Like I said, the Steelers have been dirty. The Lions were worse.
  8. Yeah, chances are they won't go 6-10, but that's not the point.
  9. Refs are kind of bad at differentiating hard hits and illegal hits. There are legit reasons why helmet hits should be flagged. But the Bears are generally a sound tackling team when it comes to those things. A lot of players launch into guys with their helment, so the refs just assumed Briggs did the same thing, when he clearly did not.
  10. They are pretty different scenarios. Young was already in house on an elite team when Montana went down. Trading Manning is a near impossibility with his contract.
  11. huh, I didn't notice Peppers ripping off Calvin's helmet after he was already on the ground. I'll have to watch the replay. yea, I'm having trouble remembering that one too. Peppers wrapped Johnson around the upper chest area. It was clearly not a penalty. Suh made another swing at Cutler and got the helment, they aren't comparable.
  12. I watch them all the time and enjoy teasing a friend of mine who is all self conscious about how the league treats the Steelers. Even they aren't anywhere near as dirty as the Lions have shown to be.
  13. Yeah, they had a nice run, but it was the fewest wins in 8 years. They were already looking like a lesser team than the real contending Colts squads of the past decade.
  14. they will make it a lot more fun for them to sign free agents.
  15. I was referring to their "look" while at the plate. I saw the Cubs uniform on deck but wasn't sure who it was until the announcers finally stopped their 5 minute discussion of the reliever.
  16. Why do you think Lake will lose his eligibility?
  17. Aren't we already pretty close to top 15? I thought consensus was closer to 20.
  18. They were only 10-6 last year with him and lost at home to a one dimensional Jets team. They have also gotten worse. Given how poorly they have done building around Manning in recent years, and the fact that Manning probably won't be anywhere near his best if he does come back, there are plenty of reasons why they may not be Super Bowl contenders for the next 4 years.
  19. So they export their kidnapping needs to the Colombians?
  20. field the best 25 man roster you can. You will have success.
  21. So then do they trade the picks for as much as possible or keep Luck on the bench? Because spending that much money on a backup QB when your starting QB makes so much is going to make it very difficult to add to that horrible team.
  22. I wouldn't exactly call it a beautiful situation. It's a silver lining to a pitiful season, but there are tough decisions to be made. Let's not pretend that cutting Manning won't have some negative effect on his relationship with the team. If they do trade the picks, they should ignore the desire for 3 #1s and get as many early picks in this year's draft and next as possible, to restock the team for Payton's last 3-4 years. Personally, the more I see of Luck, the more I doubt him as a can't miss guy. If they do cut Manning and go with Luck, they still have a god awful football team that needs to be completely rebuilt.
  23. This is so idiotic it infuriates me. To clarify. This isn't a rumor about sally from accounting sniffing glue. This isn't a rumor about the branch manager from scranton banging the hr lady in ny. This isn't even a rumor of the new video coordinator having a cocaine problem. The coaching staff is a small group that spends an incredible amount of time together. There are maybe 10-12 core guys on the staff, and if there is one who has been there for 20+ years, is in the middle of his prime coaching years, considered for the head coaching position, has had numerous incidents of innapropriate behavior with children, and he's just pushed out the door, this isn't a rumor you can avoid or ignore.
  24. Needs more Forrest Gregg. Detroit is despicable and probably going to miss the playoffs for 50th straight time
