  1. colts are real lucky, but they purt good, too
  2. sure you would yes, yes i would, come to think of it.
  3. I hope this was a joke. The only kicker in the NFL who I'd take over Gould is Kaeding. rackers is just a better kicker all-around, despite robbie's clutchness. robbie's accurate, but rackers missed one field goal this year and can boom them from 50+. he's also pretty good on kickoffs, which gould is not.
  4. i'd probably take rackers over gould.
  5. Nobody did, I don't recall anyone having a ton of interest in Brees when he was a FA. I think a lot of people attributed his numbers to LT, Gates, Schottenhimer, etc. If Brees was an unrestricted FA after this season and the Saints made it known he wasn't coming back, I would think it would be the biggest story in sports before he signed somewhere. How many times in the history of this league has a QB of Brees caliber been an unrestricted FA with his previous team making no effort to resign him? he was also rehabbing a badly dislocated shoulder at the time. i wasn't sold and thought it was a risky move, too.
  6. so it's customary to let them celebrate for 15 minutes after a made basket and a foul?
  7. it looks like they're just going to have michigan state shoot a hundred free throws in a row.
  8. that's where jamar smith went. insert jamar smith leaving him for dead joke here.
  9. but seriously, i'm not sure that an embarassment like being turned down by coach after coach is what this franchise needs to move forward like it would for any normal team. you'd think that something like that would motivate the bears to do something drastic and make a huge splash somewhere, clean house, change philosophies, whatever. but the last time this team was embarassed like this, they ended up hiring dick jauron. what this team needs is a sale.
  10. i really can't believe that fewell took so long to choose new york.
  11. And who, exactly, is saying this, sulley? come on, tell the truth, you like their chances next season, don't you?
  12. Hamilton made the decision to hire him based on him being a good coach and a good recruiter. He was right on both counts. He took a risk likely knowing Kiffin would bolt at the first chance to go to USC, but who would have thought that job would open after one season? If Pete Carroll hadn't gone to the Seahawks, Kiffin is still here building a good program. However, Hamilton's assessment that Kiffin was a good coach and excellent recruiter was correct. That's what I was getting at. good coach and excellent recruiter is not considering all the facts. he's the reason why there are riots in knoxville right now.
  13. i don't know what they're rioting over, in their minds tennessee is still the odds-on favorite to win the national championship next season.
  14. correct. live by the sword and die by the sword. Kiffin always smelled like another Petrino type to me. A complete mercenary. they knew what they had when they hired him.
  15. Shady crap. Oh well, I figured he'd bolt the minute he had a shot at USC or the NFL. Just didn't think it'd be this soon. The good thing for us here is that Mike Hamilton has yet to make a bad hire. Pearl, Kiffin (if he had stayed longer), Raleigh, etc. have all proven to be good coaches. I'm optimistic that he'll make another good hire here. kiffin was a fantastically bad hire.
  16. yeah, win a thriller at home against a terrible team. i can't figure out if illinois is decent or really bad, yet, though.
  17. sigh, another loss to the talor battles.
  18. i hear petersen isn't leaving boise for any reason or something.
  19. wonder how this affects prater's decision.
  20. I was wondering about this under a slightly different scenario. If the Bulls were to trade for Bosh during the season, would they have Larry Bird rights or does the player have to be there for a full season? If the Bulls had those rights, could they sequence things so that they signed Johnson first and then re-signed Bosh to exceed the cap? yes, they would have his bird rights and yes, i believe that they could sign johnson and then bosh and exceed the cap. however, that would be pretty risky and they may end up losing out on both and losing whomever they trade for him.
  21. wrong. http://www.windycitygridiron.com/2009/11/25/1173920/rules-on-hiring-nfl-coaches No, you are wrong. Going from a QB Coach to an OC is considered a lateral move in the NFL. NFL coaches have two categories. 1. Head Coach, 2. Assistant coaches. http://www.insidefootball.com/antitamperingpolicy.pdf it doesn't say what the penalties are for it. i'd imagine there are penalties, but you can't simply restrict a guy the opportunity to work where he wishes to work.

  23. For all the talk around here about the MLB playoffs being a crap shoot why isn't the NCAA tourney viewed the same way? Teams get hot at the right time and make a nice run. Unfortunatel,y Purdue has not had success in that manner. However, they have been able to endure and triumph through a very tough conference season 21 times. That cannot be dismissed just because of the lack of their tournament success. It's been my experience that people (not just here, but any fan I talk to) really only use tournament success or failure when it suits their argument, whether it be pumping one team up, discounting another, trying to prove conference supremacy, or something similar. no, i'm not trying to suit an argument, i'm just pointing out that a program like mighty iowa has more final fours than the powerhouse boilermakers, who clearly, along with IU, make up the top-tier of the big ten. i mean, to the point where it would be grossly and terribly unfair to put them in the same division if the conference were expanded.
  24. on the espn chicago front page, it states that wade is the bulls' #1 target. insider article, though.
