    College OT is a joke, especially when QBs get 8 TDs from the 25 yd line. One thing I find hilarious is (at least here in South Florida) when they make excuses for Randy Shannon: "Well, the players are young!" With the exception the OU QB that had 6 years of eligibility or Chris Weinke being a college QB at 50, ALL the players are young.

     

    Although Peter, winning is fun.

     

    Did they announce where the Super Bowl is going to be? Is it in NY?

    It's funny how people here in South Florida are complaining about NY possibly getting a Super Bowl (mostly talk show hosts stirring stuff up) because of what Goodell apparently told the Dolphins (get a roof, get a SB) then giving NY a SB without a roof. As far as I remember, he said make improvements to the stadium (Here's an idea...pave the parking lots after 25 years of being unpaved!). Also, the host was crying about "Oh, the poor taxpayers would be on the hook for the roof." Not if the owners pay for it. Funniest comment ever by the way:

     

    "When did the NFL become politics, where the owners are given a kickback for building stadiums?"

     

    No wonder the guy doesn't have a weekday shift.

    Freddie will get another job regardless (possibly Atlanta when Cox retires).

     

    And Hanley has caused problems in the past. He was called out last year by Uggla for taking himself out of a game with a questionable hamstring injury). He was also a baby about the dress code earlier this year (I think Spring Training).

     

    As for the second point, he didn't show any signs of injury when he first ran the to the ball. But then he just dogged it. What's worse are his comments the next day.

     

    "He's the [expletive deleted] manager, he can do what he wants...He's never played in the major leagues...There's 24 other guys on the team, maybe they can do what I do out there."

     

    Had he just admitted he was wrong in dogging it, it would not have blown up nationally. But instead, he truly believes he did nothing wrong. The kid is delusional. Great talent, horrible person though.

    can you explain that please, it has me confused, are you saying they will be able to rebuild quickly next year or saying it will take a while?

     

     

    and also remember about the rays great draft success has only come recently. New ownership and GM took over in 2005 (offseason, but played a big part in the 04 draft)

     

    so now we look at who the first front office drafted

     

    names like Upton, Crawford, Huff (a 5th rounder), Shields(16th round), Rocco, Dukes, and Young (Hamilton too if you want) now only 3 remain and only One has been an all-star while Upton tries to find sucess and Shields is getting back to 08 form

     

     

    New Office has found the likes of Niemann, Brignac, Davis, Longoria, Price, made trades for Soriano (closer) Bartlett, and Garza and signed Pena

     

    in fact out of 7 drafts the Rays have been apart before the new ownership took over in which we had a first round pick, the rays failed horribly, only collecting three solid everyday starters for themselves and 6 all together, and Huff and Shields wont be apart of this next number because it's top three rounds only and in 1998 we had no picks in the first three rounds (due to free agent signings) and in 2000 no picks in the 2nd,3rd, or 4th so out of 20 picks 2 are still with the Rays and 5 are still playing ball big league ball.

     

    The Rays pretty much wasted years of top draft picks because they rushed them to fast or people failed for other reasons (i.e Rocco and Josh H.)

     

    But they had access to those picks. It's just like you expect the Clippers to be good with that many top picks in basketball. The fact that they've been squandered by their front office doesn't take away from the fact that they had the picks to begin with.

    All you need to know is that Doug Collins had MJ, and Rudy Tomjanovich had Kobe, and couldn't win titles. To his credit Rudy T did get the repeat when Jordan retired.

     

    On other notes, is it Game 3 of the Finals yet? That's right about when the NBA gets exciting nowadays.

    I would do away with the large sums of guaranteed money. Maybe spread it out over a few years. Ideally, yes, he'd have to give it back. If only there were more incentive laden contracts like the one that Ricky Williams took, just to not be in the spotlight.

    Remi, I'm not saying they have a recourse. What does Jamarcus care about getting cut? He's laughing to the bank to the tune of $40 million. Teams shouldn't be on the hook for that money any more than CJ should be paid a pittance given his performance.

    What's the big deal on the Dez Bryant question.

     

    If you say your dad was a pimp, and then you say your mom worked for your dad, what's the next logical question?

     

    Should it have been worded differently? Possibly. But I found it funny to hear Mike Wilbon with his fake indignation over it. "It's irresponsible...Teams get away with everything...Players are never forgiven for anything..." Fine, then don't watch if you're so upset. Yeah, like that will happen.

     

    How is this different from asking (out of the blue) "Do you like to wear women's underwear?" or "How was it the first time you did heroin?" -- I mean, aren't those insensitive questions too?:rolleyes:
