You don't think Favre's antics have been taken to a totally different level ever since he left Green Bay? For real? No
-
I love it....everyone called me insane when I suggested Michigan wouldnt make a bowl when they were 5-0. They told me this year was different than last year and UM was better. Now it comes down to beating Purdue, a team we lost to last year at home. I say its about 50-50 we beat Purdue, thus about 52% chance we make a bowl

How are their facilities? Sometimes teams that you think should move up don't have a desire to because they don't have the resources or facilities to recruit in D1. I'm not saying thats the case with Villinova since there seems to be interest, I am just curious to see if they have things in place to move from FCS to a quasi BCS D1 program. It's not like when North Dakota St. moved up.

Read Drew Magery on kissingsuzykolber or deadspin You're right. I forgot about him. I enjoyed reading his rant last week about Favre.

Sweet, at least they'll have something to gain from their trip to NY.

I don't necessarily find the fact that Packers fans hate Favre now funny. I find the fact that Packers fans* rip on the same exact same Brett Favre behaviors that fans of other teams have loathed for years. Meanwhile, Vikings fans* for the most part now love to see him dance around the field with his hand in the air and a [expletive] eating grin on his face as he throws a TD to put his team up 35-10. *not every fan exhibits these behaviors but a large majority do. I clearly know they are out there, but I havent yet met a Vikings fan that can't stand that Favre is on his favorite team, nor have I met a Packers fan who hasn't disowned Favre.

What in the [expletive] kind of stupid game is this? Why the [expletive] does the first team have to receive the missed FG and kick it out of the end zone? Then why does the other team try to kick it back again? wtf? My best guess is that, they mentioned something about the non-FG kicking team needing to get the ball out of the end zone after receiving the missed kick, otherwise it is 1 point to the FG kicking team? So when the other team fielded the missed FG, they didn't think they could get it out of the end zone and instead kicked it away back to Montreal. Montreal was playing for a point so they punted the ball back into the end zone, which is when the other team botched the catch of the punt and the ball bounced around the end zone until a Montreal player caught it for a TD. It still leaves a lot of questions. Is the other team required to have some one field the missing FG? What if they didnt send anyone back to field it? Would it have gone to OT? What if the original team downed it after having the ball punted to them, would it have gone to OT? What if they decided not to catch one of the punts and the kick bounces out of the end zone...what happens then? What a strange sport.

He didn't exactly go up and get the ball very often in Minnesota. He more like jogged half assedly towards the ball. -
Oh, heres a page with photos of all the rings they have: http://wsrings.stadiumpage.com/ And the pre-ring awards, going back as far as 1888: http://stadiumpage.com/WSRings/misc.html

did you know that they've been giving out World Series rings since 1922 and every year since 1926? Also, pre-1922, many teams received some sort of commerative pin/pendant/etc. Here are the Cubs from 1907-1908 1907: http://wsrings.stadiumpage.com/1907.jpg 1908: http://wsrings.stadiumpage.com/1908.jpg I have no idea what 1908's is supposed to be. Maybe a pin?

Fontenot has a WS ring.. Blah

Bears Game 8: Sunday Nov 7 at Buffalo (Toronto) on Fox

I'm all for improving at WR, but not with Moss. All these reports coming out how they felt like they were playing 11-on-10 with Moss out there, about how he gave up on most plays that weren't designed to go for him, refusing to return home with the team and participate in watching video, etc. I don't mind taking risks, but this isn't even a risk. It's asking for trouble. I don't know how well this analogy works, but if you could take a pill that gives you a 15% chance of being significantly smarter, but the other 85% of the time it gives you cancer, would you take it? -
I do actually think that someone at some point did because I'm not clever enough to think something like that up. I know that Ward, Taylor and Baston came in one year (while Jimmy King and Ray Jackson were still on the team) while Bullock and Traylor were the next year, so it can't be considered an incoming class of 5 players. ward, taylor, baston, willie mitchell, and travis conlan. but according to rankings, it was every bit the class the fab 5 was. ward was the #1 player in that class. Thanks for clearing that up. I knew that new major recruiting class after the fab 5 was highly regarded. Pretty disapointing that that class never made it out of the first weekend of the tourney. Not that any of that would have counted in the long run anyways.

That's great, it should be everyone's answer when someone talks about career highs. "I don't know if you remember this, but I actually had a career high in my first ever NBA game! Career highs in several stats actually. I was ON that night."
-
Yeah seriously. 2 of the games so far have been because the Cowboys have played the NFC North. And of course being a member of the NFC East means that they are going to be on TV often to fill the NFL's allotment for one NFC East intradivision matchup every 2 weeks on primetime. But I have no idea why I was forced to watch Dallas-Tennessee or worse Dallas-Jacksonville last week. And the craziest thing is, I am still scheduled to have 3 more Dallas games on my TV during the rest of the season because of Thanksgiving, a SNF game, and a Saturday game. Hopefully the SNF game will be flexed, but with my luck the Cowboys will make some sort of mini-comeback and be 4-6 going into the game against Philly.

Just for fun I tried to look up just how many times we've failed from the opponents 1 this year. It is 10. DET 3rd and 1 at DET 1 - Forte to right tackle -1 yards 1st and 1 at DET 1 - Forte to right guard 0 yards 2nd and 1 at DET 1 - Cutler INC Pass Greg Olsen 3rd and 1 at DET 1 - Forte to left guard for 0 yards 4th and 1 at DET 1 - Forte to right tackle for 0 yards GB 4th and 1 at GB 1 - Cutler INC Pass Desmond Clark 3rd and 1 at GB 1 - Forte to right guard 0 yards CAR 2nd and 1 at CAR 1 - Taylor to right tackle for 0 yards 3rd and 1 at CAR 1 - Collins INT intended for Devin Hester WAS 1st and 1 at WAS 1 - Cutler to right guard for 0 yards, loses fumble Of course with the case of the Washington game, he did actually score, but the fact that it went unchallenged just adds to it. So 10 times we've run a play inside the opponents 1, 0 points scored, 2 turnovers, 7 runs stuffed for a loss or no gain. Cutler 0-2 Collins 0-1, INT Forte 5 carries, -1 yards Taylor 1 carry, 0 yards Cutler 1 carry, 0 yards, fumble lost Impressive boys. -
He was all right, but the Rangers just had better scoring chances compared to the Hawks. Defensive breakdowns led to all three of the Rangers goals. That's getting extremely old. Meanwhile, guys like Kopecky and Toews were shooting the puck right into Lundqvist's chest and pads whenever they had chances. There was that open netter off a rebound right near the end of the game that Sharp blasted about 16 feet over the goal as well Yeah I saw that....wasnt sure if it deflected off a stick though. Can't see how someone would miss an open net from 2 feet away that badly.
-
Exactly. Just another case of a mediocre team with great starting pitching sneaking into the playoffs catching fire and winning the whole thing. It really is all about how well you are swinging the bats come October.

I'm so glad that Dallas somehow finds its way onto my TV screen every week without fail. They will have played 8 games after this week, and being a resident of Chicago I will have been able to watch 7 of their games with basic cable. It's not all bad though...the one game that wasn't on the Chicago airwaves was their 1 win this year. Still 5 straight weeks and 7 of 9 with a Dallas game on (inc. bye week) is rather nauseating.
-
That's not true. AL won in '04 and '05. Shut up Edit: wow I think I actually managed to block the white sox world series out of my head!
-
Crazy. Since 2000, the AL and NL have alternated championships each year. The AL is up next year.

Sure... Just need to get our Lincecum and Cain

No... He's not and that's my entire point. The entire reason to look at points per shot is to measure how efficient he's been in the game by including FTM and 3 pointers. If rose was getting to the line he'd be scoring more like 45 points on 30 shots instead of the 28 he had in the opener. Anyways point is moot as Rose scores only 16 points on 11 shots tonight. Oh and he also dished out 13 dimes in an attempt to shut up people who don't think he can be a pure pg. He really made things happen tonight as did deng obviously. Very nice win.
