terrible comparison
-
well, it is a sham title... eeking out a victory as a heavy favorite and the underdog loses (by far) their most important player almost at kickoff... How is that Alabama's fault? They knocked him out of the game. This perception of big games always confuses me. It's not their fault they knocked McCoy out of the game. It's the fact that they should have rolled easily after knocking him out. Texas had the ball down only 3 with 3 minutes left. I'm a Purdue and Big Ten fan, so I really could care less... just saying... It's not like the Bears losing Cutler, you're right. its 16766 times worse

that would have been awesome if it drilled him in the head

They knocked him out of the game. This perception of big games always confuses me. so you're saying that the injury didn't create an unexpected advantage for alabama? or are you saying that they earned the advantage because they caused him to get hurt? either way, it's wrong. they got lucky with the injury and won because of it, plain and simple. if they were up by like 4-5 TDs right now, i wouldnt be saying anything because that would mean they probably would have won anyways. but 10 points? the lucky break probably won them the game. we should just play flag football from now on so good players dont get hurt that has nothing to do with anything we're talking about, but okay. i'm not discrediting alabama because mccoy got hurt. i'm discrediting them because mccoy missed pretty much the entire game and they almost lost.

Man, those are some sour [expletive] grapes. well, it is a sham title... eeking out a victory as a heavy favorite and the underdog loses (by far) their most important player almost at kickoff... It was fortuitous, for sure. But a "sham"? Not so much. who do you think would have won the game if mccoy didnt get hurt?

Man, those are some sour [expletive] grapes. i didn't even care about the game. i kind of wanted alabame to lose becausew i dislike saban, but i dont really care. i just dont like seeing undeserving teams win a championship. i know theyre 14-0 so i'm not saying they didnt deserve to be here, but they should have blown texas out when mccoy went down. it was kind of embarrassing to let texas make a game out of this. i believe that they won because mccoy went down, and that's too bad.

enjoy your sham title, you fuckin goons
-
wouldn't it be awesome if holliday ended up being like an .850 OPS guy? i dont think he will, but it's possible and it would be glorious
-
what a gift title
-
oh god it would be all kinds of glorious to see saban lose like this
-
where is xzero? texas has my little brother playing quarterback right and are within a score

because lou is senile -
you knew that mccoy was going to get hurt? Bama was winning this game regardless. The only difference the injury makes will be in the margin of victory. if mccoy was still playing then the game would be close right now. so maybe wait until alabama puts up more points before bragging about a prediction

I think you guys are understating how much cap issues the Hawks are going to have the next couple of years. That is basically what the announcer was talking about. no, i understood what he was talking about, and i understand we're going to lose some guys. i was referring to the "blowing up" part.
-
the bruins announcer just said the hawks better win it this year because the team is "going to be blown up" this offseason ummmmm, what?
-
do you guys realize how lucky we are to have this team? this is like a dream situation
-
i love how the hawks have the opposing team's announcers gushing over them pretty much every time they play.
-
i hope you enjoyed your lead, boston

don't forget that in may mitchell boggs missed like 2 games due to illness

Next season at 3.5, then an RFA http://www.nhlnumbers.com/overview.php?team=CHI&season=0910 so have there been any talk about an extension for him, or does keith's contract mean they'll probably end up losing seabrook?
-
can somebody who knows more about hockey contracts (i know close to nothing) tell me what seabrook's situation is? is he under control for much longer? do they plan on extending him, or are they going to lose him soon? etc. etc.

nobody is saying it's a great move or even that kotchman is good. he's just a lot better than bill hall. hall is worthless. it's just a solid trade Only in your world is there a meaningful distinction between a "very slick move" and a "great move". It's garbage for garbage. Hardly worth a second thought, let alone a bunch of gushing. i'm not even the one who said very slick move, but whatever. kotchman helps the team this year more than bill hall, period. it was a solid trade.

Red Sox sign Adrian Beltre

So paying $9M for 1 year is smarter than paying $4.9M for 2 years. Fascinating. wtf are you actively try to be obtuse with every post you make now? i mean, seriously. assuming you're a rational person, there's no way you can make a post like that and not understand how pointless/irrelevent it is in regards to the post i made before it. but to answer your question, yeah. paying 9 mil to an above average player is better than giving 2/5 to a crappy player. (not that any of this has anything whatsoever to do with my original point.... which was all about contract length and risks). Hey you're the one that drew the comparison to Aaron Miles. I just pointed out the unintended hilarity in your "logic": <$5M spread over two years is apparently a bigger risk than $9M spread over one. Just stop and let that resonate for a moment, and maybe you'll crack up too. No one compared Beltre to Miles. The point was that 1 year deals made with surplus money are smart because there's little lost. If you signed a 2 year deal with what you have left over, you can still be burned by the second year. That's what happened with Miles. The team had much tighter budget restrictions in year two of his contract, and since he didn't meet expectations they were forced to eat money just to get him off the team. yes
