    Everything you mentioned is spot on. Now that he seems to have allowed for a more professional and aggressive approach to the offense, his time out/challenge issues are the most glaring example of unnecessarily handicapping his own team's effort. I just don't get it. The same mistakes over and over again.

    That's not really a rant and it's not really realistic either.

    The NFL and NFLPA is going all out and donating a million dollars. The average NFL franchise is worth a billion and they just signed a MNF contract worth like 2 billion a year. Nice of them to dig so deep. I think that's not a very justifiable complaint. It's not like this is the only thing they donate to. It's not like individual players and owners don't donate on their own, to this and other causes. I get it. Just pisses me off that stuff like this even has to "OK'd." Urlacher can't wear gloves in a nod to little Johnny from down the street who has cancer without being fined 5K. I don't see what the fuss is about. They wear uniforms. They collectively bargain how the league will be run, the NFL protects it's brand because it's worth billions of dollars and the players benefit significantly from how well the NFL has been run over the decades. They did ok it. So what's the big deal to be pissed off about?

    By very recently do you mean like 3 years after it was created? It turned its first profit five years after it was created, in 2009, and most industry analysts were surprised. I think that counts as very recently. I don't. It's the end of 2011. They've been profitable for a while and became profitable farily quickly. Their revenue started pouring in very early and there hasn't been much doubt about being able to pay bills for quite a while now.

    Blackhawks traded with Islanders for Toews' little brother, who is a 21 and a former third round pick.

    Maybe the really dumb ones.

    Deciding not to buy it is not emotional. Immediately assuming they must be idiots who don't understand their business, however, is. When their plan is idiotic there's nothing emotional about pointing it out.

    Don't forget that brutal touchback call. Saints should have started on their own 1 for that last drive. It was the right call -- your momentum can't take you into the EZ. (Per Mike Perreia). Anybody who whined about that call should have their football fan card revoked. It's not a pass reception in college where you just have to get one foot down. He went into the endzone.

    What a stupid premise to begin with. Fleita is bad at his job. This team has done a piss poor job and he's been in that role for a very long time.

    He gets himself in trouble with all of his rules for picking games and defining teams.

    I'm amazed by how much people care how athletes perform in games, but I do it just the same.

    Looked to me like he had them even. He ranked the AFC East NE, NY, BUF, MIA, which was what started the whole discussion. And even he had them even, it still doesn't change anything. Didn't he have 6-7 wins for both of them? Seems like you're arguing over nothing. It's a couple of crappy teams.

    which would be A-ok with me He should punch Mike Tice then. He's the one trying to push a 2nd year 7th round pick down our throats as a LT. To be fair, Angelo hasn't given him jack squat to work with.

    You think 6 games is hard to achieve? You can be a flawed team that wins 6 games. They also get to face teams like Miami and the AFC West. That wasn't the point. Did you read the rest of the paragraph? I did. Your question didn't make much sense. He basically has the Bills and Dolphins even and you are mad because Buffalo has some of the same issues that the Dolphins have and should therefore get fewer wins?

    And yet, they have to be banking on that occuring, otherwise they wouldn't be trying it. Check out this article about Newsday in NY's trouble in getting subscribers to their pay site: http://www.observer.com/2010/media/after-three-months-only-35-subscriptions-newsdays-web-site Although in their paywall, they let the print subscribers get access for free while DH is charging them. I'm guessing a lot of their subscribers will be print subscribers. "banking on" doesn't sound like such a great business decision. They're probably wrong. The "double" subscription is also a joke. There's the double subscription and the obscenely high fee in the first place. $20 for 30 days. That is insane.

    Does that market really care all that much about Chicago, St. Louis or Pittsburgh? In addition to the nearby Rangers, which should turn into a big rivalry very quickly, they will get the Yankees and Red Sox visiting each year. I really don't think it should be hard at all to market that team in the AL in comparison to the NL.

    Some quick math has Cowboys at 234 pts over their last 8, and Packers at 267. Possible I'm wrong somewhere though, I did it in a hurry. No you are probably right. I heard it while I was doing something else. It was probably like top 5 over the last 8 games or something. 234 points over 8 games is 29.3 PPG, so that's gotta be in the top 5 or so in the league. Doing that with Kitna at QB, regardless of how meaningless the games were for them, has to count for something. Counts as a knock against Romo.

    The Daytona Cubs twitter feed described it as a "MOONSHOT" for what that's worth. I didn't know a bunt could be a moonshot. It was a full moon and very low in the sky that night.
