according to first post in thread: NY Giants: Clinch playoff spot with a win OR ALL THE FOLLOWING: a loss AND a Green Bay loss AND an Atlanta loss AND a Carolina loss AND a St. Louis loss.
-
nevermind, yes, there is. NYG could get in at 7-9 if just about every other contending team also lost.
-
is there any scenario in which a 7-9 NFC team can get the last wildcard spot?
-
I'm still nervous as hell about the Bears. 13-2 is very impressive, but the team's schedule this year was: NFC North x2 (weak division) NFC West (weak division) AFC East (pretty good, accounts for the 2 losses) NY Giants (overhyped) Tampa Bay (suckfest) I could easily see either Dallas or New Orleans taking the Bears out in the playoffs.

I'm tempted to go in to the theatre where I work (see sig) on New Year's Day, as they are showing the Outback Bowl in Hi-Def on a 33 foot wide movie screen (with full 5.1 surround)

Where is the Bowl Games from 12/28-1/1 thread?
-
If Tennessee makes the playoffs, that will easily be the best story of the year in the NFL
-
Penn State finally got a blow out win, moving to 8-4 on the year after killing Maine.

The mercurial season of DePaul continues. How can a team lose to Northwestern and a few other bad teams, but beat Kansas, URI and Cal? What a weird team.

Gordon sucks when he starts, so I guess Sef would be the only option. I'm not sure a rook is ready for a starting job, hence Duhon starts. It appears to be working anyway, so why mess with it. As Stacey King said last night on the telecast, Duhon is a guy coaches like for his on court presence, etc. His stats don't look great, but he calms the team down when he's on the court, distributes the ball, etc.

Am I the only one who think Morrison looks like he's wearing clown shoes?

Dear Wayne Larrivee, Please, please, PLEASE stop saying "coming up". The foul is not "coming up." The 3-second violation is not "coming up". They've ALREADY HAPPENED. This isn't hockey when a penalty is called but doesn't get enforced until the offending team touches the puck. God I hate you

Sammy Sosa begins training for return to big leagues
Derwood replied to Soriano12's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
nah, the humidor would defeat him -
Very true. But wtf happened to Helton's power last year? My HR contest ballot begs the same question
-
he also died early, thus "human interest" points. That wasn't a factor. His election to the Hall was five years before he died. stop confusing my wild allegations with facts
-
IIRC, Grace had more hits in the 90's than any other player in the game during that period. I could be wrong, though. He also led the league in slumpbusting. See, going into a slump isn't all that bad. He needed 3,000 hits to have any chance IMO. He should go into the Cubs HOF and even the Dbacks just for one hit alone. I don't think he'll get in, but if you compare his stats to Kirby Puckett, you'd think there's a glimmer of a hope. The big difference is Puckett got a ring, and for some stupid reason, that's a big discriminator. he also died early, thus "human interest" points.

I predict he signs with the Cardinals and wins the MVP -
I have trouble with some of the very early guys like Cy Young. Not only a higher mound but pitching from, what, 50 feet away? It seems like a totally different game at that point
-
This is apples and oranges. The aim of the two shows is totally different.
-
off to transactions..... oh wait, I can't actually do that yet
-
I thought a lot of games were supposed to be on national TV this year. Outside of WGN Saturdays and like 2 other games, there hasn't been much
-
Dugout episode in 3....2....1....

OMG, MCDONOUGH IS A HUGE DOUCHE BAG FOR GIVING AWAY SUCH A SACRED (YET NOT RETIRED) NUMBER!
-
Sure, if that's a guarantee, but I don't buy it. I think Lilly/Marquis at 200 IP each would give you better years than Guzman/Marshall over 200 IP each. But that's MY opinion vs. yours...

how is Bulls vs. Lakers not a national game? grrrr
