    ESPN Classic is replaying the game before the documentary airs it looks like. I may watch the documentary but no way in hell will I relive the game. No way.

    How many losses is too many (obviously you don't want any)? I have a hard time imagining over managing costing a team too many wins either. I would imagine that a bad manager probably messes up 2-3 situations a game (I made this up off the top of my head, no idea if it's even correct or not) and even when they mess up it doesn't always hurt him. I can't imagine those would cost a team games that often. Too me, I just want a manager who is playing the best players as much as possible (factoring in rest and what not) and managing a pitching staff the best he can. And then not having him screw up with player relations to the point that a good player demands a trade and won't play and what not. Even then though, the best players thing is controlled more by GM than on field manager.

    College sports are different than pro sports, at least American pro sports are. In college, I think a lot more people are willing to accept multiple trophys and tournaments and what not because a lot of people still perceive college sports as being more important than determining a champion and people are willing to accept and celebrate consolation prizes (I hope this is being presented in the way I am trying to present it but it makes sense to me.) Pro sports, on the other hand, because they are paid professionals playing the game, people are more in the line of thinking championship or bust and would not care at all about a consolation tournament.

    Way too early for this to mean anything therefore it's probably worthless to point out but I'm going to do it anyways. Detroit, San Francisco, Washington, Buffalo, Houston, Oakland and Tennessee would all be in the playoffs if they started today (they all missed last year). Also Cleveland is 2-1. Meanwhile, Philadelphia, Atlanta and Chicago are all 1-2. Indianapolis and Kansas City are 0-3. There is some potential great parody going on this season...or maybe it's just too early.

    There are only 3 undefeated teams left and two of them are the Bills and the Lions. Football is weird.

    Too bad the Braves keep losing too. We may have two one game playoffs at this point. that would be cool though considering a month or two ago all the races looked decided.

    I don't agree with an all out blitz there.

    I hate Dallas with a passion but why was that a personal foul?
  9. bcl412
    That's disappointing. My opponent next week has Vick as his starter with Matt Cassel as his back up.

    You quickly forget the 2005 season and Ozzieball do you?

    Steve Stone was considered a genius by a lot of Cubs fans in the 90's. Once advanced analysation of the sport took place, people are starting to realize that people like Steve Stone aren't smart at all and I'm sure he's not happy about it because his ego is ridiculous. Hawk is considered a moron by pretty much everyone (at least everyone I know and that includes more traditional fans.) so his opinions don't matter.

    Plus a best of three isn't much less random than a 1 game playoff, if it's less random at all.

    The weird thing is though is that the ref threw the flag 5-10 yards after that took place. The only reason I can think of that it threw it for that hold was because it happened near Knox and when the ref saw him catching the ball he thought that it was an impactful hold where as, if Hester caught it, it wouldn't have been. I don't understand why if that was the hold that was the penalty why the ref threw the flag when he did. It almost looks like he is looking at a different part of the field when he throws the flag too.

    you didn't think we were pissed about it? where were you? yea, we are analyzing the punt return harder, but only because it is being dismissed as a pointless play that "didnt matter". The Woodson molestation was pretty universally accepted as that. In the heat of the moment that call I saw the anger towards it but all the complaining about the call seemed to be more focused on the punt. Maybe I misinterpreted.
  15. bcl412
    I also did watch the video of the play a bunch of times and I wish I could say that picture from earlier in the thread that showed a potential hold was wrong. I have no idea what the refs were calling on that one because the ref who through the flag wasn't even looking at where that picture took place and I will agree that NFL refs are awful. I suppose a continuing argument on when someone should be upset and the threshold of anger they should have over a call is useless.

    first of all, the missed PI on woodson when he fell into hester like an oaf was pretty impactful. because it wasn't called, the bears punted and gave the packers great field position, which they used to score a TD. the punt return was just another bad call by the refs. I know, I admitted that in an earlier post. That's why I'm surprised there wasn't more complaining about that one. Fact, is I'd be more upset about that one then the punt return. The punt return was just a cooler play and the last one. I'm really not trying to be an A-hole (ok, I probably was a-holeish on in a post or two). I've had discussions/arguements with fans of my team on other boards regarding stuff like this as well. There is a lot of time until next Sunday and I like posting about the game that took place. Fact is I enjoy posting on this site more than other ones.

    He said in an interview that he's had a bunch of them since he had one during the game although because of the nature of that press conference I'm not sure how serious he was about it but regardless it's still scary.

    Will do whoever you are.

    Pomeroy just tweeted something saying you have less than 50 percent chance of winning if you elect to tie a football game with 2 minutes left, so you may not be. Your chances are even lower if you are down by 1 and the other team has the ball though.

    I had totally forgot about this. was he on that SB team? I'm about 99% sure of this. Wasn't that the same game Tim Brown scored his 100th career TD - for Tampa, oddly enough - or did that come later? He was with Oakland then too. He went to Tampa Bay in 04.
  21. bcl412
    Painter has done a good job getting down here but throwing the ball in the redzone against the Steelers is a tough task. EDIT:But I guess he doesn't have to.

    Yup. It's especially good because that Super Bowl has to be one of the least remembered, and of course everybody associates the Raiders with futility. The Colts offense longest drive has been 49 yards and they have a chance to win this game somehow. I remember pretty much nothing about that Super Bowl except that Tampa Bay won and Jerry Rice played for the Raiders.

    i dont understand how the hell LSU is ranked above Bama, to be honest. I'd be fine with the two of them being at the top and OU being No. 3. I'm ok with it. There schedule has probably been tougher thus far. They'll play each other anyways so it doesn't matter too much.
  25. bcl412
    yea. an NFL game is JUST like a lottery ticket. they should just hand NE the trophy now, there's no point in playing the games. Never said that an NFL game was a lottery ticket. I said that winning a game in that situation, however, is. What am I saying that is that far fetched?
