17 Seconds

hopefully that saints do the same to them next week and now favre is acting like he just won the super bowl.....

Agreed after the first period. I'll take a win in Detroit any day though. Detroit never lead in the game. It was a road game against a divisional rival. That's hardly "stealing one.". It's winning a tough road game in hostile territory. well that's true, but what he said was still true (although i would never complain about a road win, no matter how much we get outplayed). "stealing one" refers to a game that you get outplayed in yet win, which was the case today. you get outplayed like that and you don't usually come away with a win. that's why we stole one.

It was supposed to be humorous, pre-game banter. But thanks mr perfect. huh? i was referring to the way the media was acting like a changed man after last week. i wasn't referring to anything on this board.

i thought romo had his playoff legs under him now? a different player because of last week? im confused. why is he still turning the ball over like crazy. last week changed him forever i thought

if favre wins next week i'm going to kill myself

end your life

earlier in the article she said lou enveiled his lineup at the convention, so im assuming that's what lou said.

this time he punched an ump in a DWL http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=4833375

cubs.com says Soto will bat 8th http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20100116&content_id=7928602&vkey=news_chc&fext=.jsp&c_id=chc

with neutral luck, soto would have been over an .800 OPS last season, sooooooo

there isn't really any byrd hate on this board though. pretty much everybody said the signing wasn't bad.

tim tebow to star in anti-abortion commercial during the super bowl http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/news?slug=ap-tebow-superbowlad&prov=ap&type=lgns sounds about right.

sure you would

Look at the top teams in hockey. NJ has a 16-6 (72%) road record, Pittsburgh has a 16-10 (62%) road record, Buffalo 13-6 (68%), San Jose 16-8 (67%). The Hawks were 11-9 (55%) when I made the comment, thats a worse road record than 4 of the other 5 division leaders (and the one division leader that's worse has a 54% winning%) and 6th out of 15 teams in the Western Conference, including below 2 teams in their own division (Nashville and St. Louis). So yeah, for a team that is tied for the most points in hockey, having a road winning percentage that is 6th in their conference and 10th in the league is struggling in my mind. They are a great team but the reason right now that they are tied for the most points in hockey is largely because of how well they've played at home and the fact that they've played 6 more home games than road games so far this year. That said, I have all the confidence in the world that the Hawks can and will play better on the road. Edit: Oh and the reason I simplify records by putting OTLs in with the losses is because I think the most important way to evaluate and compare the records is with winning %. I'm not concerned with whether the Hawks got an extra point because they lost a crapshoot shootout, I am concerned with how the Hawks do in the 60 minutes beforehand to pull away from their opponent on the road. Either they win the game or lose it is all I care about in my opinion, the extra points for an OTL are just a bonus in my book. dude, you're completely contradicting yourself. you say you're not concerned with whether the blackhawks lost in a crapshoot shootout, yet you are counting OT losses as regular losses. what kind of sense does that make? if you actually want to follow the logic you're using, then the record you should be posting would be 11-6. you just said that you're more concerned with how they played in the 60 minutes, right? well 11-6 shows that, not 11-9. That doesn't make any sense. I said I am not concerned with whether the Hawks lost a game in regulation or if they got an extra point for losing in OT or a shootout. They either won the game or they lost the game, which is what I said above. My primary concern is the percentage of games that the Hawks win on the road, and at the time I made the comment it was 11 out of 20. you JUST said you're not concerned with how a team loses a shootout (and that you're concerned with hw they played for the 60 minutes before it), yet you're counting OT losses in that record you're using. once again, you're completely contradicting yourself. you said you're concerned with how they play in regulation their record in regulation on the road is 11-6. that is pretty cut and dry right there, and it's exactly the record you claim to be looking for.

oh, and you put pitt ahead of the hawks, yet the hawks have gotten more PPG on the road. there's a perfect example of why your formula makes no sense. nhl road ppg devils- 1.43 sharks- 1.42 sabres- 1.37 flames- 1.35 blues- 1.33 predators- 1.33 blackhawks- 1.29 so no, they don't have the 10th best nhl road record. they have the 7th and that's actually conclusive and relevant, unlike the bizarre winning percentage you're using. the blackhawks are 5 best in the western conference on the road and 7th in the nhl. in no world is that sturggling. it's actually very good. no, that's not even close to being true. if they had played an equal amount of road/home games this season and you project the ppg out like that, you know how many points they'd have? they'd have 69 points, which is exactly 1 less than they have now. that's how much the 4 game disparity in their schedule has given them in the standings. 1 point.

just don't know how a team is struggling on the road when their road record is one of the best in the conference

this game is gonna be awesome

Says Lou http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/mlb/news/story?id=4831864 this quote was pretty funny- that's the most important thing about our offense next season?

wow that completely killed the crowd. they still haven't gotten back into it.

no they dont 11-10 on the road if they lose this one isn't struggling considering their overall record? well for starters, their record woudn't have been 11-10. and no, 11-6-3 is far from struggling. they're good on the road and amazing at home 11 wins in 20 games is mediocre and and most would agree. it's one of the better road records in the conference, but whatever you say. above average record = struggling?

awesome, more defensive breakdowns.

lol @ the columbus broadcasting following brouwer for the 30 seconds after the goal thinking he was toews (they even put toews name up under brouwer)

no they dont 11-10 on the road if they lose this one isn't struggling considering their overall record? well for starters, their record woudn't have been 11-10. and no, 11-6-3 is far from struggling. they're good on the road and amazing at home

q really needs to rip into the team in the intermission. that was a pathetic period and they're in danger of losing for the 3rd time in 4 games, and against an atrocious team.
