  1. In my view, it's not this aspect that makes them look bad. It's the fact that they are allowing this situation to rule the way they are running the ballclub. It's limiting the on-field product. That can't be allowed to happen -- not if they want to be considered top notch ownership.
  2. Lots of Redskins fans with disagreement between heart and head.
  3. I think I can find an article that tags each one of these guys as the "frontrunner." Saw a couple yesterday that said Renteria is the frontrunner. All bunk - the process of first interviews isn't even completed yet.
  4. Just taking a short-term view of it, I can see the Bears ending the first half of the season 4-4. For a team that flew out of the gate at 3-0, that's got to be a downer. Beating the Redskins will do a lot towards making the first half of the season successful.
  5. Hey, here's some good news for your Wednesday morning: http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago/bears/post/_/id/4687109/paea-on-track-to-play-against-redskins Paea's on track, practicing, and looking good to play Sunday.
  6. That was fun, if unnecessary
  7. Why collapse and play OT when you don't have to?
  8. http://mije.org/richardprince/gold-diggers-jezebels-and-baby-mamas#Rick_Reilly Figures that the quote he tried to use was a lie.
  9. No. He's big, young, and doesn't have much wear and tear on him given that he was a backup until midway through last year and missed a couple years with the knee injury. Plus its a lot better to overwork Wootton over 33 yo Peppers or 250lb McClellin. Depends if pulling back on Peppers results in better play when he's in there. If it does, then I agree. If not though, then I'd rather ride the guy who I know is gone after this year, than put extra miles on legs that I'm going to count on for more years.
  10. He's back starting this week.
  11. I used to think this way, but not any more. They should eliminate any large delays if they can, but in general baseball is meant to be a slower game. It's not supposed to be like hockey or basketball. Different sport, different vibe. Let it be what it is. Last year he was quoted as saying that his error in game 6 was just "part of the game." Hate hate hate.
  12. They'll still lose. God exists. He just hates us.
  13. Even if he missed, Indy had nothing tonight. Absolutely zero.
  14. Indy is terrible on run D.
  15. Are you concerned about over working Wootton? I am, a little. He's been good at times but seems a little fragile. Not that we have much choice, really. Just asking.
  16. Apparently. Yeesh. I wouldn't have even noticed if it wasn't for stupid Google search and the fact that every moron article Sullivan writes seems to bubble to the top.
  17. On what tiebreak? 3-3 Tennessee vs 3-3 Baltimore? You are right in singling out the Chiefs Tennessee game and Denver's Baltimore game. It would come down to the combined ranking of points scored and points allowed tiebreaker. Baltimore is 14th in points scored and 16th in points allowed (total score of 30 just for comparison purposes). Tennessee is 15th in points scored and 10th in points allowed (total score of 25). So the team that played Tennessee would win the tiebreaker, which is KC. That's 5 minutes of my life I'll never get back. DEN/KC don't start their head-to-heads until Nov 17th, too. Right now, I'd probably say Denver would win those but who knows -- by the time mid-November rolls around injuries could accumulate on either side. Also, KC is in more of a position to improve. They are 6-0 and in the process of assimilating a new system. Denver is probably as good as they'll be, right now. There's nothing standing in the way of KC rolling into Denver 9-0. Denver has it a little tougher. It will be interesting to watch. I'm definitely pulling for KC. Good football fans in that town.
  18. I watched it but I still can't believe the Saints kept giving it back with so little time left.
  19. Unreal.
  20. Yea that one can't be blamed on a receiver
  21. What a throw by Brees. Can't believe the DB didn't tip it
  22. Yes. If not for the horrible turnovers, I'd say the Giants are as good.
  23. Hard to fathom the Ravens won the Super Bowl watching them now. They're just......blah.
  24. Yep, it's a bitch thread. Should probably go in rants.
