  1. I would like Emery to stand up and say that in his initial presser in 2012 when he said he was here to "win championships" over and over, his expectations were unreasonable. That improving a franchise is very difficult work and he has not been able to do it. I want him to say that he fired a pretty good coach and hired a pretty bad coach when there was a couple pretty good coaches willing to take the job. I'd like him to say that while he is trying his best, each year he's been here they have gotten worse and winning championships has become less and less likely and that he almost certainly will never be the gm of a playoff team. Or he could talk about his bad drafting or his bad free agency signings.
  2. Tax deduction for the interest. Duh. That's capped at a million I believe. Even so he's only getting his tax rate back on that deduction, it doesn't make sense to pay a dollar to get 45 cents back. Also he's so far away from any threshold it doesn't make sense in limiting his agi to get to another threshold. So this is not why. Perhaps for liquidity but seriously somebody who makes nick Saban money should not be financing his home. He probably carried this mortgage knowing that this group of Bama alums were gonna pay it off.
  3. Two questions. 1) what is crimson tide foundation 2) Saban makes twice that amount in a year. Why does he have a mortgage.
  4. The colts will probably not win this game but this is how an actual great offense can keep a team in the game. The steelers have destroyed the colts defense in the same way the patriots did to the bears today.
  5. Our offense also has, I believe, 15 turnovers in the 8 games. So that's near the worst in the league. This doesn't help hide the defense. The defense is very injured whereas the key offensive players have been playing. Our GM and head coach suck ass they need to go immediately. This will never be successful with these [expletive] dickheads running it. Trestman is absolutely he worst head coaching hire ever.
  6. People hate cutler. It's because he has an [expletive] fat face, he acts like a jerkass and he's having a disappointing season.
  7. The suck at everything but airing it out so they should be airing it out.
  8. They got off the bus running.
  9. Yea I can understand a quick sideline route to make it an easier kick but a shot at the end zone might last longer than 9 seconds (or obviously get picked off)
  10. This PSU OSU game is boring as hell.
  11. Really looking for South Carolina to pull off the stunner tonight. It's now a 20pt spread. And ESPNs win odds have this as the most lopsided game of the top ten with like. 90pct probability. While I recognize gamecocks have looked like [expletive] he absolutely should be a 1-loss team with wins over Georgia and ECU if you take away the epic collapses vs mizzou and UK. They could easily have been prepping for auburn for a month because they are coimg off a bye and then furman. I like the upset potential here. Auburn has looked just ok at times and the gamecocks aren't as bad as them seem. Hopefully they can get a win. Would love to see some upsets of the Sec West to open this up even more and get the big 12 teams back into the discussion.
  12. Hypothetically would you do Wiggins and Bennet and 1 for Bosh back in 2010 if you were the Heat? Because thats what the Cavs are doing at the best case scenario. Bosh was a similiar player to love at the same age and was an integral part of the Heats 2 titles. Love is not going to get the volume in Cleveland that he did in Minnesota, obviously. Bosh went from a TRB% of 18% to 13% between 2009 and 2010. His usage rating went down from 29% to 23.5%. Loves usage was 29% last year and his TRB% was 19%. Love is coming from a team that gets the most possessions in the league to a Lebron team that will probably get the least possessions in the league. His numbers will go way down similiar to Bosh. Its going to be a completely different type of game for love. Considering he will be playing with two other ball dominant scorers, and two great rebounders Varajao and Lebron; Love will be doing a lot less of what makes him great. I still think that Cleveland is a contender with Wiggins and not love. And that the championship window potentially extends beyond Lebrons prime.
  13. Yes. I think he hurt his back picking up his luggage. Not only is not an nba player he's just a regular middle aged man.
  14. That trade might look like one of the worst ever in 10 years. They gae up too much for a player that had limited their trading partners And among the teams that had a chance There was no other package remotely close to what Cleveland have up for love.
  15. Extremely likely? As a parent, about how many days a year do you think would be around the expectation level for having to take your kid to the doctor unexpectedly? Serious robot question. Honestly, depends on the kid. My bro-in-laws kids are seemingly sick constantly. My son, a couple times a year maybe? But this the right time of year for him. There's no right answer to your question. Our daughter had multiple MRI trips when she was younger, the docs were watching a spot on her brain. It was scary [expletive], but those appointments as well as the follow ups with docs/neurologists/auxiliary testing were impossible to schedule and immovable. We would know 6 mns in advance of each appt. thank god it turned put to be nothing, and I realize that it's an extreme example, but doc appts with any specialist for kids tend to be pretty rigid. She also has allergies to things like peanut butter. The allergist is impossible to see as well. Who knows, maybe jay blew off the show because it was a tough Sunday. Maybe he used a simple doc visit that truly existed as an excuse. Maybe it was completely unmovable. It's pretty meatheadish to sit around calling for his head when you really don't know I appreciate what you are saying because I've had a similar experience. That's not how things work for the QB of the Bears. The Bears have a pediatrician. The Bears could get Jays pediatrician, or any pediatrician to Halas hall and do this appointment at any time. You know Minnesota that jay didn't do this show because he didn't want to deal with the [expletive]. I don't care that he blew off the show. I don't understand why he would do I in the first place. What could 1000 possibly pay him that would make this even worthwhile. He clears millions of dollars.
  16. Is there still such a thing as a BCS bowl? Are they doing the whole BCS bowl thing outside of the playoffs? Are the bowl matchups still going on?
  17. I love that they hired a trestman too. The people running the Cavs are so lucky but still screwing it up. Trading wiggins was pure stupidity.
  18. I already hate this Cavs team more than the dancing Lebron teams.
  19. Stacey's performance in the 2008 bulls celtics series was the GOAT for a local color man.
  20. Ole Miss lost a key ally on the playoff committee. Archie Manning withdraws to have a knee surgery? What are the physical requirements in choosing four teams at the end of the season.
  21. Yes, seriously. I also don't like Jameis Winston, Ben Rotlisberger, Ray Lewis, etc. for similar reasons. There are some things more important than sports. Not sure why you'd think I'd hate Notre Dame when I live 2000 miles away and don't run into too many of their fans here. Sorry then. But a lot of people around here like to parade the tragedy around to embarrass ND when it's a far from cut and dry situation. We have a famous [expletive] local radio guy who tweeted out the girls name a bunch of times during the game last night. Maybe the campus police were incompetent in not responding to the case more quickly, but the football program didn't do anything wrong and what the player was accused of was being a creep relatively benign compared to jameis accusations. That said, Brian Kelly was negligent in the death of that freshman camera man. So I'm surprised people don't go straight for that because there real isn't an argument there.
  22. I probably shouldn't have crowned Sumlin after one game in the post manziel era. But yea, gamecocks hadn't lost at home in 4 years so I was sure Sumlin was a sorcerer, but as it turns out they are a mess of a defense and Kentucky torched them.
  23. Yes I said it. I had no idea South Carolina was bad. I overreacted and I apologize.
  24. Are they hiding bret favre because he's like Muhammad Ali at this point? His recor was just broken by manning. They always have the record holder there to clap and smile. Is he brain dead, is it the dick pics, does he not want to be around.
