ESPN has their Daily Dime Live thing going on, and Chris Sheridan keeps saying the Knicks are a better fit for Lebron because Toney Douglas doesn't need the ball and Gallinari is a good shooter... that's essentially his whole argument for the Knicks... and then claims Noah or Deng would have to go in S/T for Bosh...
PER stands for Player Efficiency Rating, not sure how it is calculated, but I'm fairly certain it includes much more than PPG of course, I could just be misinterpreting your post and you do know what PER is and were making a separate point... if so, I apologize
I love the Deng + 17 for 8 rumor, but the 17 is supposed to be going to Washington, right edit: question answered above, so I guess the hope is Deng for Pietrus + Gortat
Yes it would be insanely outlandish. Besides that, you're remembering Guzan in Villa's cup runs? Do you remember Tim winning year before last's FA Cup semifinal vs United in pk's? He's a great penalty stopper himself. Wasn't aware that Howard was as well, though I should have figured as much with his athleticism. Thanks for setting me straight.
maybe i'm just showing some naivete, but if they go to PKs, would it be insanely outlandish to go with Guzan, who seems to perform well when facing a PK?
As good as Urlacher is, he is not the Bears' best defensive player. He is very important to their defense, but I feel that he is mroe replaceable than Polamalu. Polamalu is all over the field making plays. He will make plays in the box, then turn around and make an acrobatic pick and take it back for 6. He is an incredibly dynamic player who will be greatly missed by the Steelers. My guess is that this helps the Bears' passing game enough for them to win it, as long as Cutler has time to throw.
What happened to Juice? 1st offensive play of the game he took an option keeper down the sideline then tripped and I think they said he bruised his thigh... could probably play if he needed to, but it's Illinois State
liking the new format more and more as i continue to use it... I agree with banedon about the submit button being somewhat far down on the page when posting; keep up the great work though
I'm an EIU student and went to watch the game... Jake Christensen (former Iowa QB) had a field day against ISU in part because he had all the time in the world and in part because his receivers were often wide open. ISU also could not run the ball whatsoever against EIU. EIU's D-line spent a lot of time in the backfield. Anything short of a complete beatdown by Illinois should be considered a huge dissappointment. ISU has nothing.

While Warner may not have had a decorated college career at all; Romo did have an outstanding career at Eastern Illinois University. He was a 3 time I-AA All-American, 3 time OVC player of the year, and in his senior year he won the Walter Payton award as I-AA player of the year. Yeah, it was I-AA; but he's certainly not the first, and won't be the last, player from that level to succeed in the NFL
