Enough of your foolishness. :twisted: Seriously though, I somehow never even realized the Titans had this year's Thanksgiving game. That's pretty freaking awesome! Chances are very, very high, though, that we will not be unbeaten by then. If we are, the sky's the limit for this team. I'm not sure I'll even watch the Colts-Titans game. It will probably get ugly in a hurry. But I guess there's a chance the Colts will decide to play good again.

Yep, awful news that the 1st Cubs GM to bring the team to consistent respectability would get an extension. Worst. News. Ever. Not saying I agree with everything he does or even his overall philosophy, but, hey, we could have Ed Wade or Ned Colletti. Hmmmm....consistent respectability. That's quite a standard of success. Hendry has basically been given an open checkbook since he started and the Cubs have one playoff series win to show for it. If "consistent respectability" is what Cub fans are looking for then I guess Hendry has done a great job. "Consistent respectability" is a lot better than watching the Cubs of the 50's and 60's go through 20 years of 4th and 5th (and lower) place finishes. To be honest, a GM can only put together a team that is strong "on paper", the performance is basically up to the players, coaches, and manager. According to the "experts", Hendry put together the best team "on paper" in the NL (and maybe in all of baseball). The players slumped at the wrong time (or choked) and the Cubs lost 3 in a row, but it doesn't diminish the fact that Hendry assembled a 97-win team. .....which means absolutely nothing. He may have "assembled a 97 win team" in the regular season, but somehow his handpicked "best team "on paper"" can't quite make that leap in the postseason. I don't want to be one of those Cub fans who 30 years from now is still waiting for a World Series win and I'm not going to give Hendry any props until it happens. He has had a financial advantage that no other Cub G.M. has ever had, so back-to-back division titles sure isn't much of a return on the humongous amount of money he has been allowed to spend. The playoffs are a crapshoot. You can't blame Hendry for what happened. He put together a great team, and that is all a GM can do. I just wonder if all the people who are lessening the Cubs loss in the playoffs by calling it a crapshoot would be doing the same thing had the Cubs gotten to the World Series. Would it be a crapshoot then? Sure, I guess. I really wouldn't care.

A "great" team would not be swept two years in a row in the playoffs. He has put together a team that dominated a weaker division during the regular season and was embarrassed in the postseason. If that's your definition of "great", we'll agree to disagree. Remember, the playoffs are a crapshoot. A terrible team could dominate a great team in a five game series. And the NL Central was the strongest division in the NL.

You missed it. Corey Hall hurdled a Colts defender Coffmanlike. For some reason I typed 'K' for Corey and it came up 'C'. Why did it do that? Corey Patterson. I think people typed it with a K because he struck out so much. I think they made it so you can't do that anymore.

Why would they even take the time to review it?

btw, by saying the Falcons never had a great QB, you're saying Favre is not a great QB....just sayin'

Who's the Bears fan? I was assuming that you were, but is it Colts maybe? Sorry, don't know you very well as a poster. I am a Colts fan.

Who's the Bears fan?

I think so. Doesn't it remind you guys of someone? Yeah because Brett cried alot during the game. Manning is just flat out annoying. Favre is way more annoying During a actual game Favre never really complained he was to busy having fun. hes also a huge douche You wouldnt understand, you never had a great quarterback. OH SNAP!

wut?

I think so. Doesn't it remind you guys of someone? I'm assuming you're talking about a future HOF and maybe the biggest legend of our time. Peyton's also a future HOF and a legend. And yes, it's annoying watching both of them cry. Don't be biased just because you're in love with the guy.

I think so. Doesn't it remind you guys of someone?

Derek Anderson: 4/16, 21 yards...Why is he still in the game?

welcome to the 2008 football season seriously i've been telling you guys this for 7 weeks now. yet people were comparing them to the Rams and Texans they have no peers in awfulness I believed you.

The Colts run D is not good.

hey the lions are fighting tooth and nail for that #1 pick Yes, but which team is funnier? I think that should decide it. Orlovsky's safety certainly gives the Lions the edge.

LOL Chiefs

I meant they've been the best team so far. I doubt they'll be the best team at the end of the year.

Maybe, but the AFC has the best team. Who would that be? Titans? Yes.

hope you went with jackson I didn't, but the guy I'm playing sucks, so I'm still going to win.

Maybe, but the AFC has the best team.

We need to start a thread talking about how great it would be to trade for Hanley Ramirez. I'd love to see badnews explain why he sucks. btw, the sun is blue.

I can't wait to read Joe Morgan's review.

Steven Jackson vs. Dallas or Steve Slaton vs. Detroit? I'm leaning towards Slaton.
