    Hehe....I see you don't have HD. You really need to experience HDTV. You'll see why it's so much better than regular. Lots of things we pay for aren't necessities----what does that have to do with anything? As for DirecTV and HD, DirecTV has Sunday Ticket which offers a ton of HD NFL games from around the country, it now has EI which will supposedly offer more HD games than anyone else. It's a matter of which carrier is offering the most HD programming, not that DirecTV is inherently better for HD.

    This time Clemens will demand to only pitch when his team is in Texas. And he's signing with the Red Sox :lol:

    Colts will no doubt watch the Saints game film, see they can CHEAT, and then proceed to CHEAT all game! :wink:

    Peyton will get his yards. Its the design of the cover-2. Even Drew Brees threw for 350+ yards. Its points that are the deciding factor. We didn't play much cover-2 against the Saints. Oh, and 88 yards of that was the play Bush scored after getting open on an illegal pick. Well, the NFL said that wasn't an illegal pick because of the little to no contact that the picking player made-you're allowed to shield apparently, as long as you don't block the guy (like Troy Brown did) or knock him over. Yeah, well the NFL was wrong. It was an illegal pick.

    Whipped, allergic to superior technology, or both? Figures. This is spectacular news.....Kerry...you get this fixed and I'd consider supporting you for President....or better yet...get this fixed, and Don't run for president...let someone who can actually win have a chance. Any news on whether he'll go after this one like he ran his last Presidential campaign?

    Is an ignigma some sort of a lizard? O:) Enigma! Hmmm...Prior is a lizard, eh? Frontpage news in the Sun: "Prior is called a lizard by writer, demands an apoligy!!" He's an enigma.....swallowed by an iguana.....surrounded by an igloo

    The point is indeed moot, but there's a theoretical/philosophical question here. Would you like to have a 40-year-old Bonds on the Cubs, knowing he's a roid cheat and an amphetamine cheat, but also knowing he could boost the lineup? In short, do you forgive the sins to get the performance? Does the end justify the means? For me, that answer is no. I think there are other ways to build a champion, Bonds hasn't shown that his presence = championships, and the distractions would outweighs the benefits to this ballclub, especially since they're short-term benefits.

    Press availability ended today. Where did you see this? I saw him in an interview this morning and he looked alright. Maybe he was just sleepy 8-) It happened today. He said it this morning...they just played the audio clip on the radio. Lovie also shot back at the press when they asked him about the Rex criticism...he more or less responded, "The criticism is what it is, next question." I like it. Hmmmm...I saw the Lovie thing live, and I wouldn't characterize it as "shooting back." He simply declined to answer the question, and that was it.

    You only post it because the Colts won, be honest. I almost posted that I would have done it anyway, but I just can't be sure-at least that prediction has Grossman playing well for you guys. What's the record for Madden in Super Bowl predictions. I thought it was pretty good, but I can't find it.

    I view Hub Arkush as a guy who realized his close affiliation with the Bears would raise eyebrows, so he made a point of finding flaws with the Bears. Unfortunately, many of the so-called flaws he harped on week after week were simply normal areas of concern that almost every team deals with: very young at certain positions, QB isn't a bona-fide superstar, injuries reduce effectiveness on the field, unproven coach, etc etc. They kind of came back to bite him, and now he's lost a lot of credibility in many people's eyes. He's a victim of his own desire to appear unbiased, to a degree.
  16. Soul
    Yeah, but they got very little in return. I think Jones is just waiting for a chance to interview Ron Rivera. I haven't seen anything but rumors with no credible source that he's really going to try to pry Lovie loose. Though I'm sure he would love to have him coaching the Cowboys, I'm sure there are plenty of teams who would, now that they realize he's capable of coaching a Super Bowl contender.
  17. Soul
    Really, it was Hub who was fanning the flames on that one. BTW - I can't say I'd be completely disappointed if Lovie went to the Cowboys for multiple first rounders and Rivera took over as head coach. Of course, I'd love to keep Lovie around. But in the NFL, multiple first round picks are huge. Just for sake of discussion...Imagine adding 4 first round talents to this team in the next two years. Of course, one or more could always bust. How did that work out for the Raiders? I think that's a disastrous idea. It doesn't suprise me to hear Hub Arkush thinks its a good one.....he's another guy who has been wrong about Lovie and wrong about this team the entire time. Several interviews this morning, aired on NFL Network. Long interview session with Lovie. Talked about his coaching philosophy, brushed off criticism of Rex, talked about family back home... Urlacher took the stand, wiping his eyes every few seconds like he just got out of bed (it was, after all, 6am in Florida)----reiterated he doesn't think he's in Butkus or Singletary's league yet, says he doesn't feel the need to talk to Rex because he's shown he knows how to get out of a slump and rise to the occasion. Just alot of the same old, same old. I'm ready for the game. I can tell the players are too.

    I'm sure Jerry would rather have Lovie. Too bad Lovie would rather have Chicago. He can have Rivera if he wants him after the season is over. That would be a dream job for Chico.

    From Ben Maller. I know wins don't count for much, but that's just frightening. I'd be quite ready to expect a bad season if I was a Cards fan. There's just no question. Brewers are better right now. I think Houston's better too, and the Cubs. By all rights the Cards should be finishing 4th in the Central this year.

    They've been tossing him the ball out of the backfield a bit too. I'm liking that. Oh yes, despite the scouting reports, Benson can catch...
  21. Soul
    :-k Hmmm.....I think he's close to TJ at this point. I've been watching; there doesn't seem to be all that much difference.

    That Pats D has to be blamed too. For most of the 2nd half they simply couldn't stop any play. There's no doubt if Peyton can get the time and find his open receivers, he's going to whoop up on pretty much any team. If the Bears let him stand back there and find open guys all over the field like that, we're going to get plastered, too. That's why he'll be in the hall of fame. He's a great QB, no question. If, on the other hand, we can limit the points and stop a few big plays from happening, maybe then we can have a chance.

    Love the Brookfield Zoo photo. 8-)

    Yes, I'm fairly resigned to the idea that the Colts are going to get their yards against us. I'm confused and worried about that Colts run defense. Has there ever been a run D so bad that suddenly got so good? I can't figure it. Can't just be Sanders. What's Dungy been feeding those boys? We'll need to run on Mr. Sanders and his suddenly solid run D or else obviously we will lose the football game.
  25. Soul
    NO!! Can't be true! You totally photoshpped that, admit it! :wink:
