    Well they still are 4th in conference but 3rd in division. Looks like they will have not have home ice advantage in the first round again. Last year that was the only round they didn't. Who knows they have an 8 game home stand. Maybe they can go 6-1-1 or something like that. Its frustrating right now, but I still think its hard for any team to beat them in a 7 game series. They are a lot deeper than last year. Although Oduyla is a shell of his former self. Right....last year they ended the regular season terribly (14-13-4 in their last 31) and started the playoffs with 2 losses, then turned it up. So I'm not super worried again, because this is what contending teams that know the grind of the Stanley Cup playoffs tend to do. Not a big deal until it translates to the postseason.

    It had better be more than that. If they add Shields on top of already adding Heyward the division is out of the reach barring a ton of bad breaks for the Cards. I think the point might be to drive up the price beyond the Cardinals price range. I don't recall them being in on Shields so I feel like they are only in because they think they can get a bargain

    kaplan might be the most connected reporter out there I think he also has a history of being a Cubs mouthpiece, no?
  4. UMFan83
    It's possible this was thrown out there to try to increase his price since the Cardinals are rumored to be in the mix

    I keep thinking maybe they just aren't that good and then I remember how unbeatable they looked in December. At some point when every post game is full of quotes like "we are sick of getting our butts kicked" and "we need to play harder" and there is no change in play, their will is broken Rose with another solid 2-9 from 3. :( he's one stubborn dude.

    Looks like he might have announced it too soon because at least one recruit didn't send in his LOI to UCLA today and is apparently reopening his commitment: http://recruiting.blog.ajc.com/2015/02/04/breaking-roquan-smith-explains-what-the-heck-is-going-on-with-ucla-vs-uga/?ecmp=ajc_social_twitter_2014_recruiting_sfp

    Wth is he talking about If you are asking how the hell he's going to vet out girls that won't take a picture of him passed out after sex, I have no idea.

    How did that dude not to go UGA?

    Yeesh. I guess the Hawks are going for the "8 seed romps to title" approach As bad as the Bulls have played, them and the Hawks have identical records over their last 19 games (9-10)

    Bryant at 5 is certainly interesting.

    Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter 37m37 minutes ago Super-Bowl MVP Tom Brady said on WEEI that he wants to give his MVP truck to Malcolm Butler. Wants to. Gotta get those tax attorneys on this one before they do anything. Butler won't have to pay a single dollar in taxes on the truck. Brady will. Butler would have to pay a gift tax based on the value of the vehicle wouldn't he? Or at least the value of the vehicle beyond 10k or whatever the limit is. And given that Brady made it public knowledge, it's not something he can not report.

    hmmmmmmmm Gotta keep him. He got a sack against the super bowl champs.
  18. UMFan83
    He's confused why there's so much negativity on this. Seriously. He tweeted that. and only a few of the comments to that tweet are really even clued in on why that mock draft is ridiculous. I haven't seen one other mock draft where either of the QBs fall beyond the top 2. He seems to think the hate is coming from Cutler defenders.
  19. UMFan83
    That was pretty apparent, but I thought he did a nice job. I liked him, but he was very vanilla. I thought he was great. I'd have liked to have seen him give it a full year before making a decision like this, but I understand it. Wannstedt has been getting a push right now. Wonder if it could be him? What is Wanny doing these days besides coming on the score once a week? He's only 62, I'm surprised he's still not trying to coach somewhere in some capacity.

    I had to turn off Cowherd this morning (only on because Score was on commercial) because he kept calling everyone idiots for questioning the play call. His main argument was that the Pats had practiced for that play during Super Bowl week. I'm sure they did, but that doesn't mean you use that play with the game on the line and no margin for error. Anyways, I know his whole thing is getting a reaction out of people so, you win again Collin.
  22. UMFan83
    He has clear eyes on a perfectly positioned DB who is leaning in ready to pounce. That's horrible QB decision making. And a terrible throw.
  23. UMFan83
    And maybe don't line up in shotgun. I understand a sack is killer there but whatever any pass called will be thrown quickly and you still have the TO and 2 plays to maybe get 7 yards. Lining up with a shotgun formation pretty much gives away the fact that there's going to be a pass.
  24. UMFan83
    Why would he say that? He didn't make the call, Bevell did. Ok say "We" then. Either way. It was a terrible call, it backfired in the worst way possible. Just own up to it because nothing about "3 WRs vs a goal line defense" is going to make any sense at all.

    =D> Can someone do one with Trestmans face saying "Even I would have run it"?
