Posted Friday November 27, 2009, About: Seahawks GM saving his job?

I agree with that. This is the worst I've seen since Tom Flores days. Mora had his shot at leading a team in Atlanta and aside from moderate success in his first year, he was a disappointing 15-17 in his final two, before he was fired. He's nothing more than an NFL recycle job. "Let us Seahawks fans all give thanks to Jim Mora Jr., for wanting to hook up with his old buddies from Atlanta." - Which I'm getting awfully tired of by the way.

Posted Friday November 27, 2009, About: Seahawks GM saving his job?

It's not like the orginization is overly loyal to Ruskell, he was hired 4 years ago as an "imediate" fix for the Seahawks. He replaced an extremely inept Bob Whitsitt. Who also single handedly destroyed the Portland Blazers. Who are owned by Paul Allen too. Ruskell's return would not surprise me any though. He re-signed LB Lofa Tatupu and CB Marcus Trufant to long-term contracts, He lured unrestricted free agents LB Julian Peterson, FS Deon Grant, DE Patrick Kerney, traded for Super Bowl MVP Deion Branch (still an enigma to everyone) and WR Nate Burleson. But both Paul Allen and his sister like Holmgren - a lot. Seahawks are run by "Vulcan Enterprises." A corp. created by Allen to run a portion of his business-adventures and run by his sister Jody. SHE is the one who actually pulls the strings at the top. But changes may be few, considering Paul Allen is not in good health (diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma - blood cancer) She may not want to rock the boat - just yet. Non-Hodgekin Lymphoma has about a 50% mortality rate within 5 years.

Mayfield blames France for killing his career instead of taking responsibility for his own actions. It does'nt surprise me at all, that he's going for anything he can to discredit Brian France.

If it happened during the game, this would have been a story. Nothing after it's over

Posted Tuesday November 24, 2009, About: Mangini suggests Lions faked injuries

If the shoe was on the other foot, would Mangini tell his players to "fake injuries?"
Or would he tell them to lay on the ball carrier until time expires?
I'm pretty sure he would call for one or the other. If not, he's no viable NFL coach.

Posted Saturday November 21, 2009, About: Raiders players happy with new QB

But if that weapon can't hit what it's aiming at?
May as well throw that weapon on the ground. Get rid of it and get one that can hit the target. Maybe one that has already been sighted in - I see J.P. Losman is tearing up the UFL. (on a 1 yr. contract) Big-Al could do worse. Losman is better than Russell by a loooong shot. - IMO

Posted Saturday November 21, 2009, About: Seahawks interested in Holmgren?

GREAT job of investigative journalism. Bet the writer had to dig all of about 3 minutes to hammer this non-story out before the Tribune deadline passed.
Proving once again - You just can't fix "stupid"

He still looks like one of those 60 year old ped[i]o[/i]philes in search of a 12 year old, on 60 minutes "To Catch a Predator"

Posted Wednesday November 18, 2009, About: Drivers targeting Keselowksi?

Hamlin and Montoya are both full of Bullsht. They're just trying to "BULLY" Keslowski and he's not having any of it.
If someone were actually planning to intentionally run another driver into the wall, do you really think he's going to be stupid enough to announce it to the whole world? Would'nt it be more to his advantage to keep his mouth shut and just "Do-It?" - Because by announcing he is going to intentionally use his race car to put another racer out, he's risking his entire season. If not, his entire career. Not the smartest of moves. But then, we have to consider the source when speaking of "smart-moves" here don't we.

Posted Wednesday November 18, 2009, About: Why Dolphins benched Porter

If I were his employer and he bagged out of practice that day because he was not feeling well, then I saw him out running the streets later that evening, I would put him on the TLTP list - "To Lazy To Perform" list and he would be Trade-Bait from then on. Not to mention, running out on the team and bagging out of practice cuz you would rather play around at the mall or go to the bar, must deeply 'endear' him to his teammates too.

Posted Wednesday November 18, 2009, About: Did ex-Patriots rough up high school kids?

The fact that the "students signed up thinking they would be playing with the officers, but no officers showed up," - tells me the cops were not bullshting around. They were strategizing to maximize their starting lineup via the "Bait-&-Switch" - they must have figured the kids needed a lesson and who better to teach them

Posted Tuesday November 17, 2009, About: Hamlin: Keselowski's 'a moron'

KNOCK THAT M/F OUT !!!

Posted Tuesday November 17, 2009, About: Cable: Al Davis won't pick quarterback

My thoughts too. Charlie Frye has'nt thrown a regular season pass in over 2 years. He's been a 3rd string QB since he was drafted. He would definately not be an upgrade from Mr. Bling. He's a Professional Bench-Rider.

Posted Friday November 13, 2009, About: M's deny Wetteland mental health reports

He's a great guy and a hell of a coach. Best thing the M's did, was fire Charlton and hire Wetland. He turned their bp around 180 deg. into a very respectable one. Considering all the young guys he had to work with, I was amazed.

Posted Thursday November 12, 2009, About: Who's on Phillies' wish list?

As an M's fan, I watched Beltre all summer. You have it backwards.
Beltre is a top notch defender. He made plays at 3rd base I was in awe of. He has a cannon of an arm, so he can fire it to 1st, quite accurately I might add, without any problems. M's fans love the guy. He works his tail off. But "Bill Bavasi" signed him from the Dodgers after he had a career high 48 HRs. Hoping he would be the power hitter they wanted. He never hit more than 25HRs with the M's and he's been hurt a lot lately. He would make a defensive upgrade to any team. But he's a mediocre hitter. Nothing to write home about.

Posted Thursday November 12, 2009, About: Favre dealing with injuries

So just like his retirement - his injuries don't really mean anything

Go figger

Posted Tuesday November 10, 2009, About: France wants less TV criticism

One instance of the censorship of France - Speed Channel has already cancled one show that was constantly critical of NASCAR brain trusts decision making. They cancled "Pit Bull." Not an overly popular program, but it had success in the ratings. Apparently France didn't like the shows criticism of their "detrimental to NASCAR" rule. Plus their obsevation of the creation of rules on the fly as they see fit.

Posted Tuesday November 10, 2009, About: Tough trade market for Bradley

Is he easily agitated? - Yes
Is he delusional? - Yes
Is he paranoid? - Yes
Does he exhibit high anxiety? - Yep
Does he suffer from bouts of depression? - Yes
Is he an emotional cripple? - You Bet Cha! The guy's a major head-case.
I think the Cubs need to atone giving him a 3 year/$30 mil contract just cuz he had "ONE" monster year with the Rangers. I believe THEY should finish paying off their bad decision to give him so much freakin money right off the bat. Owners like the Ricketts, are turning out big contracts to so-so players cuz they have one good year. No wonder there's so many mediocre players with monster contracts in the game today. If I remember right, the Rangers were not sad to get rid of him by years end. After that deal with him trying to get at that TV reporter. They were already growing suspicious of his demeanor. The Rangers did'nt think enough of him to resign him when his 1 year contract was up either. They let him go, rather than pay him that big contract he was looking for. - THAT should have told the Cubs something.
