  1. Well, yeah, but thats because Baseball, Basketball, Football, Hockey, and apparently the Olympics are all done by Sports Reference. All S-R is doing is trying to make all five sites uniform in design.
  2. Ralph Wilson Stadium, Buffalo. The Rogers Center is in Toronto.
  3. Burress is done for the season, Giants suspend him for the last four games and place him on the non-football IR. Also, the Vikings season just got a whole lot harder: http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d80cfe423&template=with-video&confirm=true Both their DTs will miss the rest of the season, as will running back Deuce McAllister and defensive linemen Charles Grant and Will Smith of New Orleans. The Schedule! Thu, Dec 04 OAK @ SD 8:15 PM Sun, Dec 07 JAC @ CHI 1:00 PM ATL @ NO 1:00 PM CLE @ TEN 1:00 PM PHI @ NYG 1:00 PM CIN @ IND 1:00 PM MIN @ DET 1:00 PM HOU @ GB 1:00 PM MIA @ BUF 4:05 PM NYJ @ SF 4:05 PM NE @ SEA 4:05 PM KC @ DEN 4:05 PM STL @ ARI 4:15 PM DAL @ PIT 4:15 PM WAS @ BAL 8:15 PM Mon, Dec 08 TB @ CAR 8:30 PM Also, apparently in an attempt to make the game at least somewhat interesting to somebody, the OAK-SD game will be shown in 3-D in some theaters: http://www.usatoday.com/sports/columnis ... s-3D_N.htm (About halfway through the article).
  4. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_NFL_Draft
  5. Agreed, I don't see any of these teams being able to win on the road in the playoffs. They get a home game for winning the division. So 2 and out. I find it well within the realm of possibility that the winner of the North will lose to the Wild Card team at home. There is a possibility that not only will they lose, but going into that game the Wild Card team will be favored. The NFC North Winner will more than likely be the #4 spot and have to face the better of the two wild cards teams.
  6. Hopefully Orton pulls a Griese and stops listening to Turner.
  7. Word of warning, trolling will get you banned.
  8. I'm the opposite. I think he didn't do enough, but I think the fact that he was a Yankee for a number of years will get him in. Also, Blyleven not being in is an absolute joke.
  9. If by lame, you mean awesome, than yes. Both teams suck.
  10. If Marmol gets traded for Peavy, the deal had better be Marmol and inconsequential throw-ins for Peavy, and not much else. Marmol isn't getting traded. Letting Kerry go pretty much cements that, IMO. I agree, I was just commenting on his worth in the event Hendry did get stupid and move him. I agree, it was simply a thought based on what seems to be a needless trade for Gregg and the lack of a dominant closer option for SD. Call me a typical over-optimistic Cubs fan, but I really think Gregg is going to get flipped. Let's not forget how GMs way overvalue the save stat, and Gregg had about 30 of them last year.Of course, Hendry could be one of those GMs that way overvalues the save stat. I'm trying to pretend that's not a possibility...now I'm going to resume putting my hands over my ears while screaming "I can't hear you!" I don't think he does. Nothing really says to me that he overvalues saves as a stat. He cut Borowski after it became clear he was not going to go back to his 2003 numbers, he's letting Wood walk, he allowed Dempster to move back to the rotation. Hawkins, Eyre, and Howry were never really closers, only set-up men. One of his first moves in 2002 was trading Tom Gordon. Despite rumors that he would go after Jose Mesa among other used-to-be-good closers he has never done it. He's been hesitant to say that Marmol will be the closer, as his value as a goto guy is more important than just ending games. Nothing there really says he likes saves.
  11. I think Texas will want more than Marshall for Ramirez
  12. Maddux probably going to retire: http://www.nypost.com/seven/11032008/sports/moresports/greg_maddux_certain_to_retire_136749.htm
  13. Orton - High ankle sprain according to NBC show, out a month.
  14. Halftime in Oakland. 307 total yards for both teams... 309 for Atl -2 for Oak (no first downs) Oakland managed to recover a fumble to prevent ATL from kicking a field goal to end the half, but then promptly had their QB get sacked for a loss of 8, making sure they went in to halftime with a negative total yardage.
  15. Well thats because people are stupid. But you may be right. Yeah, there will be three undefeated teams at the top, but thats because at this rate the top won't be changing...
  16. The Bengals want to challenge the Lions for a perfect season: http://1360espn.com/cc-common/mainheadlines2.html?feed=121849&article=4470653
  17. It took a few weeks, but sports media has found its curse! http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20081024&content_id=3642185&vkey=ps2008news&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb
  18. No Bears game but a bunch of interesting news already. First, the schedule: Sun, Oct 26 OAK @ BAL 1:00 PM ARI @ CAR 1:00 PM TB @ DAL 1:00 PM WAS @ DET 1:00 PM BUF @ MIA 1:00 PM STL @ NE 1:00 PM SD @ NO Wembley Stadium 1:00 PM KC @ NYJ 1:00 PM ATL @ PHI 1:00 PM CLE @ JAC 4:05 PM CIN @ HOU 4:05 PM NYG @ PIT 4:15 PM SEA @ SF 4:15 PM Mon, Oct 27 IND @ TEN 8:30 PM Already this week: Pats Harrison out for season, possibly career SF Fires its coach Oh, and the Browns suspended Kellen Winslow.

  20. except im on the other side now!!! Seriously, shut up. +1. Seriously. +2 Actively rooting against the Bears... didn't I get a vacation for hoping Theriot's average dropped .001 point? Hmm hope he gets the same punishment. this is not a bears message board. it's a Bears thread While he is technically correct, that this is not a "Bears" message board, it is a Chicago message board where the fans are predominately rooting for one team, in this case the Bears.
  21. That was awesome. The Redskins succeeded in their attempt to fail to score in the best way they could. Talk about a pathetic 2min offense. It was like they didn't want to try for anything more than a long FG.
  22. I thought it was pretty darn funny myself. There was a bit on The Daily Show the night before on the Cubs that was pretty rough, too. It starts around the 6 minute mark. http://www.thedailyshow.com/full-episodes/index.jhtml?episodeId=187567 At least the Cubs are relevant enough to get a few jabs. See, the Daily Show jab was funny because it was unexpected. The SNL stuff, like most SNL stuff now, wasn't because it was set up way too overtly.
  23. They've got their own getting swept to worry about. Yeah, but most of the ones doing the rubbing in are the ones who wouldn't realize that anyways, as they haven't been watching the Sox.
  24. They will, but it will be in the top of the 8th when the Cubs are already down 6-0.
