  1. V sucked, the one person (joshua) I liked died
  2. I still think Brady is 1 I don't pick a great QB based off stats because stats can lie. Brady is 3 of 4 in Superbowls, there is still no other QB I would want when the game is on the line (who plays right now) If you do it purely off of numbers for the last 9 years Peyton is really only beating Tom by 1 season..... What..... Tom only played one game in one of those 9 season..... Brady's career record is 97-30 in the Regular season and 14-4 in the playoffs including 3-1 in the superbowl. Manning's career record for just 9 season is (01-02 till now) 105- 39 (remind you Brady was out of 08-09) and his playoff record is 9-9 and 1-1 in the Superbowl See your arguement is weird about Manning calling his plays because most coaches have let Favre call his own plays as well and he is 1-1 in the superbowl to, I have even read that Brady as called plays himself along with Big Ben. But a winner is more important than a guy who can win an MVP every year and if you add the one year Brady was hurt into the mix he still would have had more wins and less loses
  3. you did, you signed him in 03 I believe but he was still coming off tommy john in 02. In 04 he pitched wonderfully for you guys but was benched in the playoffs due to a pinch nerve He reminds me a lot of J. Santana. start of his career was very rocky, then you guy stole him (signed him dirty cheap when many casted him off) coming off TJS and he won 15 games, then a CY young and got hurt again But Chris was never considered a good pitcher until he went to St. Louis so that was just a smart baseball move by you guys
  4. I think you guys will still do well with out Pujols if he elected to play somewhere else. I have always believed great teams prepare for the worst and have a plan. You guys have a solid team top to bottom and really should do fine, keep the pitching intact, and keep playing sound baseball and it will be fine Like the Rays, they are built for a long time because they don't go out and trade prospects for rent a players. Jennings has improved his numbers in each level of the Minors and reminds a lot of people of a Crawford, we have Zobrist who can play so many position and so can S-Rod. just like the Cards and Twins they are a well put together team
  5. they made enough shows that syndication will still make them money, so to CBS they are fine with it
  6. it's funny you would use that word sense I didn't use any form of art my memory isn't faulty, you seem to forget there was a reason those players had to give back money. Not because they played bad, but beacause they breached contract. Sanders retired early (remember Williams, Ricky did they same thing, Dolphins wanted their money back, so he came back) Players like Vick and Rogers did things to get them in trouble with the league, which got them suspended coal workers, Fisherman, anyone doing manual labor Lol and I don't have beef with the lawsuit, it was a point to why I side with the owners. This is their business and they take all the responsibility, not the players. Player truly don't have as much responsibility as you think they hold. Case in point, Michael Clayton last year had a horrible season, and a memorable quote he made after a loss was "Nothing I can do, the check is in the bank" that's great and also I don't see how the American Needle case would hurt the owners if they won? they at that point could make slotted wages for coaches and players, and pretty much make the union not matter. And that's great you know strippers
  7. eh, well then we just have the next manny being manny
  8. Remi I am not taking anything the media is feeding me. I could careless about what anyone has to say about any of this labor crap. My family has owned a business for years (45 to be exact) and I was alway taught one thing, earn your money. So I don't care that players are crying because they don't get all this league revenue sharing, why.... simple their contracts is the money they get for people coming to the games and watching them. If they fail (Michael Clayton, J. Russell, R. Leaf) they still get paid, you don't see teams getting that money back. Owners take all the risk like with Ron Artest running into the stands, sure Artest got into trouble, but what do you think happened to the Pacers, you don't think they didn't have to pay money to those people? there once once a guy working for my family's company and he made an illegal U-turn and hit and killed a women on a bike. Now even though he made the U-turn and it was his choice, my family got sued for 3 million dollars. Also, who cares if the owners don't show their records, they aren't owned in the stock market so honestly they don't have to show their records. Plus who cares, we know what they charge for all the stuff we buy, do you believe they are struggling? I don't. The players aren't victims, real victims are retired players who are getting benefits. Funny thing about all this is, is why you defend these players, notice not a single old timer has come out and supported them? Bart Starr doesn't even talk about the new age of football Players are just a bunch of cry babies, get over it. Go ahead and talk about how I sound like someone who never made it, I don't care. Personally I think I sound like a business man who understands Business. Because guess what, when the stirke happens Owners aren't going to care as much as you think. this ownership mode they are in, is just fun and games for them, they have real companies they still work with (not all but a good amount) so they will go back to working after this. One last thing, I am shocked that anyone would support the players in this. We are talking about a bunch of millionaires (which 75% are bankrupt by their 4 year retired) crying because they want more money? really you work year round, but honestly you only work for maybe 8 months out of the year. others bust their butts for 300 days out of the year just to make enough to feed their family So go ahead Remi, go off on your own rant, where you cut people down cuz they don't support your idea because it's what you always do P.S MSG is an eyesore and so far everyone has agreed
  9. I think Ravens win that divison to me their first two picks were solid, Kindle will be the next A. Thomas for them and Cody is just a huge (HUGE) body for the 3-4 front Boldin was a great pick up as well. It will come down to QB's in the league, how will Ben do when he gets back, and how does his replacement do while he's gone. Can Carson stay healty? will Joe F. become a great QB this year, he had a good year last year, Cam Cameron has another year with him (guy who helped develop Brees and Rivers in SD) and they have two RB, two TE, and two WR plus a great O-Line and D
  10. I agree with that, CB are great and a shut down corner is hard to fine but when a QB has time (hard against a pressure D) they can pick people apart
  11. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/story?columnist=pasquarelli_len&id=5197588 "We're victims of the situation," said Edwards, one of the game's top left ends who would have commanded a lot of action on the unrestricted market. "I'm not happy about it, and I'm sure I'm not the only one." I guess my question is, didn't you know this would happen? So how are you a victim? you didn't want to redo the labor agreement because you felt it was unfair, now everyone who was given a tender is complaining about not getting their money they would have gotten if the agreement was still in place. This article just makes them sound like a bunch of grown cry babies, you cry because you aren't getting enough from league revenue sharing. Now you cry because you aren't getting paid a long term deal. NFL is a business first. 75% of the players never graduated, well welcome to business 101. First rule, make your money, how do you do this you ask, simple. If you can sign a guy to just 3 mill for one season instead of giving him a 6 year 50 million dollar contract then do it. Half the reason the GM's discuss contracts with these players during the season is to keep the player happy and show, hey we are trying.
  12. Game two tonight is going to be a battle. One started with the C's pretty much owning the Magic. The Magic got better each Quarter, so this should be fun
  13. I guess it's one of those agree to disagree thing. Like with Ray Jay, I don't see it as an eyesore, but others might. You don't see MSG as an eyesore because it doesn't stick out, but others do. It's a no win for everyone
  14. Love that, house, chuck, supernatural (kid coming out inside me), SOA, burn notice
  15. only problem for Gonzalez is this will turn into a classic manger vs star player and 90% of the time the player wins when the owner decides. I don't see Hanley has a douche for this for a couple reasons. 1) he has never caused problems from what I can recall. 2) He was hurt he and even made note of it. Gonzalez kept him in there and he got a play from someone who was running limp. Should he have been a little more professional about it, sure. If he would have would we be talking about this? Something tells me their is something else going on
  16. A show I liked that they killed was Kings, I loved the conecpt but it didn't last what I do like is how Cable TV forced Network tv to stop playing reruns during summer
  17. I figure we have one for 3 different sports, wrestling, and a movie one (that is rarely used) so why not a TV one SO TA DA I'd like to say I am kind of disappointed that ABC cut Flashfoward, but happy they are bringing back V (John May lives)
  18. http://www.thewallpapers.org/photo/9590/madison_square_building-003.jpg just looks like an eyesore to me, but that's my opinion
  19. darn he's on my fan. team so funny thing about fantasy teams is the Rays vs Indians I have two Indians on my team and my opp. had the Rays Closer so I was rooting for my opp. players to do well
  20. I didn't mean the rep part, I meant people say it's an eyesore and it isn't getting any better. but that it's an eyesore, cost a lot, and people question the renovations seeing how it's the second time. No one is questioning the reputation of the building. I just know people who've been there and don't see it as the same building it use to be and believe MSG V should have been accepted instead of renovating the 50 year old building and on the Jets, someone once told me, with success comes trouble. Jets did well last year and players did well, now they want their money. I also read on ESPN about certain players who have been trouble makers in the Labor talks complaing now about being restricted or not being signed, found the restricted players extremely funny that they are complaining about not getting long term contracts.
  21. something I found interesting about the article, was how Ryan needs Revis for his defense to work. Now I am not saying Revis isn't a great CB (I refuse to put him as the best until he plays the same next year), also many seem to forget the Jets had the 8th best defense 5th in scoring, but Ryan's defense have always finished 6th or better, twice being 1st (Ravens in 06-07, Jets 09-10), once in 2nd (Ravens 08-09), once in third (Ravens 05-06), once in 6th (Ravens 07-09) and all of those were with a good CB in McAllister, but he was never on the same level that Revis played with last year. So I found that interesting. But I believe with out Revis he's D would still do well. If your D being a great D relies on one player it would scare me because of the fact a simple injury or contract dispute hurts you.
  22. http://espn.go.com/blog/nflnation wow that would be amazing, I doubt he gets it (because of the simple fact that no one knows what will happen with the CBA and the salary cap) but this could be interesting
