Weren't we saying that last week when they were down 34-3 or whatever

This Michigan offense is not that great..

Wow this thread is dull without the Mizzou backers.

Is it that hard to keep the cameras dry?

ridiculous, NW makes a good play and gets a great break, and Michigan's defense looks unstoppable

Since Manningham has been out Michigan's offense has really looked lackluster.

CT posting like crazy at NSBB again?!?!? Anyways, I'm in

its not like he will anwser and i dont want it to get deleted the cards winning it all is nowhere near as bad as the sox. :shock: I, among some others, would disagree. I think it matters where you grew up or where you live. I still think Cardinal fans are some of the most arrogant fans in all of sports. Nope it doesn't for most of us. I live in the heart of Chicago and I can tell you the Cards winning is worse.

So would it be a bad sign if i woke up tomorrow and saw that Aram filed for FA?

Just wanted to say this to make myself feel good about sports in general after what happened tonight.. GO BEARS!!!!! WIN THE SUPER BOWL!!!!

Since this will be locked soon...I wish the Game Threads forums well...see you in 2007 (if you make it back from this....I might not)

That's the worst part. I don't really dislike St Louis all that much (I loathe Houston), but the fact that Scrappy McHustler won the MVP makes me sick, because not only wil we be subjected the the standard "heart wins over talent" boilerplate sportswriting/radio for the next 12 months, but there's a better than 75% chance that Hendry decides he needs to field a team that features below average corner OF's, a terrible C, a godawful middle IF, and a mediocre starting rotation anchored by a solid #1 in order to win. I can't wait to see what FJM says about it

Scrapstein wins the MVP and I feel myself hitting rock bottom

I am about to head out for the night in Chicago...I guarentee you I will run into a LOT of Cards fans tonight...and they will be vocal

How a respected 2000+ post poster gets banned with one post! edit: Nice 83 win crapjob

Isn't Jared the younger one?

We can make money off this guys. Lets convince other teams that they too can win the world series by agreeing to be our new "rivals" I am sure the Rockies or Nationals would bite.

Where is Chris Shelton when you need him

Next year can't get any worse. I know we cannot think of anything worse, but something will happen to make it worse. Since you posted this I have been sitting here trying to think of some way for ti to be worse than this next year. I came up with nothing. I was thinking too...probably this: Mets for some reason move to the AL this offseason. The Cubs as expected fail to win 60 games. Your ALCS in 2007 is White Sox vs. Mets. Your NLCS is Cardinals vs. Astros. (Astros beat the Marlins, Cardinals beat the Padres). The World Series is Cardinals vs. White Sox. In game 7, tied 3-3 in the 9th, all of the players on both sides of the field decide to call the series a draw, take the Red Line up to Wrigleyville and storm the neighborhood pilaging everything including Wrigley Field. George Bush is impeached (the only good thing here) and an emergency election is held. Steve Bartman and Alex Gonzalez run on the presidential ticket and win, with their first act being to disband the Chicago Cubs.

Next year can't get any worse. I know we cannot think of anything worse, but something will happen to make it worse.

Castillos baserunning blunder ended Game 3...thats about all I can think of

He's available you know ;)

QBs are making a comeback in Fantasy leagues this year. With the RB position evolving to a 2 back system, top QBs seem to be one of the more reliable point producing postions out there. If you are desperate for QBs, there are 3 interesting choices for pickups, maybe not to start, but to hold on the bench just in case... Tony Romo: He's got the players around him to make him put up good numbers (Glenn and TO), hes got the RB that will take the pressure off the passing game (J. Jones), and hes got the coach who likes to sling it out once in awhile, which can lead to big scores. But he has little to no NFL experience, doesn't seem like his arm is accurate enough to stay away from TOs, and hes got a crazy receiver that would make life hell for him if he doesn't give him the ball. David Gerrard: Yes its him again. With Leftwich injured, and the offense sputtering, Gerrard is back to put pressure on the starting QB job in Jax. Bill Simmons made a good point today when he mentioned how they have a good rookie pass catching RB, and wideouts that run great deep routes. The problem is that Leftwich's arm is useless past 20 yards. In steps Gerrard. Honestly, I have no idea if he is any better, but I looked up some of his numbers from last year, and they aren't that bad. If you remember correctly, towards the end of last year Leftwich was injured and there were rumblings that Gerrard was playing well enough to keep the starters spot when Byron was healthy. Anyways, its hard to tell whether the coaches would make a starting QB change when Leftwich is healthy, as all indications are that he is (rightly or wrongly) their franchise QB. But should Gerrard light it up this weekend....anything is possible. Worth to keep an eye on. Trent Green: Old faithful Trent Green is back to practicing again. He has likely been dropped in many leagues by the team that originally drafted him, and if you have the bench space, I'd highly recommend seeing if hes available and picking him up to wait for his return. The thing about Green is, he had a pretty severe concussion and has missed 7 weeks. Who knows if he will ever be the same mentally after a blow like that. Who knows how long it takes him to get back in the swing of things again. Right now its like he's going to through training camp again. Anyways, with the numbers like he has had in past seasons, you'd be dumb not to take a chance on him if you have the space on your bench. Hope that helps. I should write a fantasy column :)

I picked up Henry for my team because one of my big 3 (LJ, Westbrook, Ronnie Brown) is on bye (Brown). So yeah I say him

Same here. Oddly enough, I don't really have strong feelings against the other NL Central teams outside of the Cardinals and the Astros. I don't know know why, but seeing the Brewers, Pirates or Reds win it all wouldn't get to me as much as the other two. The Cardinals are the Cardinals, and the Astros have been above average to great since the mid 1990s. The other 3 have been mostly bad for 20 years with a few exceptions (hey, kinda like us!) What I want to know is why fans of every team in the NL Central have this bitter hate for us for some reason.
