Posted Tuesday November 24, 2009, About: Phillips dismisses Cowboys altercation

I agree man. The problem is what comes after these games. The Cowboys are so up and down that I can't decide if they are one of the worst teams in the NFL or one of the top 6. They certainly don't play anywhere in between.

I also think that Romo played up the injury quite a bit. I hope he is OK but we all know that he has been throwing erratic during his down games and most throws have gone high. As long as they make the playoffs I could care less of their record. I just want them to win a playoff game or two. Maybe that will break the transe that Romo goes into at times.

That and just how much the team has been in shambles even without this distraction. Has their been a time when the Warriors did not have all the drama? It seems that there is always something. Maybe they should look higher up the food chain.

Exactly. The guy could be a good contributor but his big head won't allow it. You wonder why players love to play with people like JKidd. There's something about people who get the concept of team that makes others want to be around them...

Posted Monday November 09, 2009, About: Ex-Eagle: Cowboys everything wrong about NFL

It's bad that the Cowboys haven't made the playoffs in forever but I've admitted it and openly criticized the errors that I have seen. Even with this in mind, I see too many people here acting like a trip to the playoffs is like winning a SB. I will take 1 ring over 10 years of advancing to the playoffs and getting beat. I'm sure most fans would do the same. At least I can say that my team was a champion at one time. How many people go around wearing, "Playoff Champs" shirts?

Posted Friday November 06, 2009, About: LeBron hasn't ruled out Knicks

Yet another, "Player X is moving to Team Y". Ughhh.. Haven't we read about this move to NY a million times? Oh, this is news because he changed his mind from going to LA to NY. LOL. :)

Posted Friday November 06, 2009, About: Porter: Patriots get special treatment

I couldn't agree more.

I think players say things like this BEFORE the game in hopes that somehow the refs will hear it and it will make them think a little longer before they give that person the easy call. In reality though, the refs are going to give Brady and others special treatment regardless of what anyone says. The QBs need protection but things are out of hand. Pretty soon we will put bubblewrap on them and let them play "red light, green light" as the defense rushes towards them.

Posted Friday November 06, 2009, About: Williams: 'I'm not a T.O.'

LOL, are you serious? I've backed TO many times but if you look at the span of his career (not just the past couple of years that I supported him) then you will see that TO has been more of a problem for teams than an asset.

I personallly don't believe Roy has whatever Jerry Jones saw when he gave so much for him. He has good height and is physical but he seems to lack that burst of speed that other greats have had. I see him more as a receiver running crossing routes than running straight up the field. Like I said, I don't see the speed. Regardless, I think he needs more time to show everyone what he really has to offer, whether little or a lot.

Posted Thursday November 05, 2009, About: Cowboys' Williams blaming Romo?

I see a bit of both sides here.

1. Romo has had a very difficult time throwing until just recently and many of the passes to Williams are bad passes.
2. I've watched as Romo has become glued to one receiver (Austin)
3. It seems like Williams and Romo are out of sync and I'm not sure who's the one to blame. Romo calls the play and throws to nobody. You see them discussing and pointing different routes. If I had to guess I would say this is on Roy at this point but early on Romo had this problem with all of his receivers.
4. Roy has dropped passes that he should have caught and Austin has caught them when it counts.

The majority of this goes against Williams but some of the blame should be on Romo and his tendency to throw passes 5 feet over the head of receivers or down in the turf.

Posted Wednesday November 04, 2009, About: Why LeBron may join Kobe in LA

Well said. No way this will happen. Too many pieces would have to disappear and then the Lakers wouldn't have the supporting talent that they have now. This has to be the biggest dream scenario I've seen yet for LeBron and also one that makes the least amount of sense.

Posted Wednesday November 04, 2009, About: Fisher's last season with Titans?

Sadly I have to agree. I too think that the guy is a good coach. Sometimes it is best to change things up. I remember when Avery Johnson was let go for the Mavs. He was/is a great coach but something had to change.

Posted Tuesday November 03, 2009, About: Maverick accused of homophobic slur

Don't go to games OR learn to keep your mouth shut if you don't want to hear it come back at you. The world we live in is full of people who can't wait to turn nothing into a gay, race, religion issue.

Posted Tuesday November 03, 2009, About: Marbury: Knicks should fire D'Antoni

It's sad that he still has not learned from his mistakes. It's not like he is even telling us something we don't already know. Everyone knows that D'Antoni has never been a defense minded coach. The guy is all run and gun which is fun to watch but doesn't translate into championships because sooner or later your team goes cold. When that time comes you have to be able to play some D.

Posted Monday November 02, 2009, About: Taylor was almost a Patriot

I agree although I think anyone would understand if a player goes for a team who has a chance at a championship.

Posted Monday November 02, 2009, About: Packers question defensive scheme

My thoughts exactly. The Vikings have a good pass rush but the Packers have an obvious problem here.

Posted Friday October 30, 2009, About: Did Fisher give in to Titans owner?

Agreed. The worst that can happen is they continue to lose.

Posted Thursday October 29, 2009, About: Iverson, Hamilton blame Curry for Pistons woes

"But.. we're talking about PRACTICE man.. PRACTICE! I mean.. it's just PRACTICE MAN!" LOL!!!

Posted Thursday October 29, 2009, About: Favre: No sentiments for Packers

What you are really saying is that he can't win with you no matter what he says. LOL! :)

Of course he thinks about it but he is going to get ripped even worse if he throws it out there. If it were me I know I would want to win this game in a major way.

Posted Tuesday October 27, 2009, About: Agent: Rondo won't sign Celtics deal

On the flip side of that coin you could say that they could let him go and see if the team flops in the playoffs without him.

Posted Friday October 23, 2009, About: Lebron wants to dunk on ex-president

All the political stuff aside I have to admit that I lost respect for LeBron over the last year. The kicker was his little tirade when losing to the Magic. He acted like a 5 year old. I want to see passion out of players but not in this form. Of course his crab dribbling comment is stuck in my head. I don't want to be a LeBron basher. I think the guy has amazing skills. No doubt about that.

Posted Friday October 23, 2009, About: Lebron wants to dunk on ex-president

LOL, you call others the morons? When a person in the media does something like this they are ASKING for attention to be called to it. He could have said any number of things but he decided to make what was an obvious political jab. He could have jokingly said he wants to dunk on any number of the Magic players for dumping them in the playoffs but I didn't see any of their names. :)

Posted Friday October 23, 2009, About: Lebron wants to dunk on ex-president

How about asking if he can dunk without crab dribbling?
