Enter rookie Bruce Irvin. The strangest first-round pick last April. Bruce Irvin, was drafted to eventually be Clemons replacement. Irvin rewarded the Seahawks by going out and leading all rookies in sacks this year, and he is now shifting to full-time duty after Clemons went down yesterday. He finished that game with 1 sack, 1 tackle for loss, 1 pass defended and 2 hits on the QB. Seahawks will be okay
Alex Rodriguez is being investigated by MLB, for illegal gambling! The allegations, are that the New York Yankees third baseman played in at least two of the games, one of which took place at the Beverly Hills mansion of a record executive at which "cocaine was openly used" and a fight broke out when one of the players refused to pay after losing "more than a half-million dollars." In 2005, Rodriguez had been warned about gambling in underground poker clubs by the Yankees and by baseball commissioner Bud Selig, both of whom were concerned that possible involvement with gamblers may lead to betting on baseball games ala Pete Rose.
The Cards running game is god awful? I thought they had the New & Improved version of Beanie Wells? Whisenhunt believes he is "clearly the guy." Said so himself!
The cost of Kolb was probably a tad bit steep and he may not be worth what AZ had to give up, to most of FN, but to AZ's front office he's apparently their QB of the future and worth more to them than Cromartie and a 2nd round draft pick and lets face it - nobody really knows yet, they may be right - if he turns out to be a Pro Bowl calibur QB, both parties make out like fat-rats
Don't know about top 3, but I would have put her there since I'm a sucker for a good-looking redhead, one of my top 5 would have been that scrumptious redhead Christy Hemme

Ahhhh .... the age old adage "American football is best" - When in true fact, both sports are hard as nails, just slightly different. The contact in the two sports are totally different, so the styles of play lends itself to completely different hits. American football players can't hang with ruggers. The 13 men fielded by each rugby-league team are "ALL" expected to run, pass, defend, tackle and kick at a nonstop pace for 80 minutes, on a field 10 yards longer and 30 yards wider than American football fields. In other words - Ruggers run an 80 min. pressure cooker instead four 15 min. qtrs. of a set of 3-5 second plays with a 45 sec. break in between each one. Rugby is "non-stop." >>>>>>-------Voting Right----------->>
Damn man - I would have voted for left cuz the Boll Weevil is one of the better mascots out there. But a forfeit is a forfeit is a forfeit ..... voting right
I don't think it is so much east coast biased, as it is [i]east coast over population[/i] instead. It's always been a business decision. Not a biased decision. Supply and Demand - the simple corner-stone of the business world
You don't know {{squat}} about fans out west, other than what you hear from someone else obviously. Fact of the matter is, 'the Coach' hit the nail on the head. It's not so much a "good" thing as it is a business thing - there are more people in the eastern and central time zones than there are out west and as more and more east coast **** move out west, more western teams will start receiving more coverage, it's as simple as that There's "east coast biased" because media outlets only care about how many people are watching, not where the stories come from. You think back in 2001 the Mariners didn't garner enormous amounts of coverage when they won 116 games? You bet they did. The presses main agenda is to cover what people want to see and since there are apxy. 8 mil. people in NYC and only half of a million people in Seattle, which market would YOU cater to - if you were in the media.
To be a NASCAR driver "doesn't require there actual body to complete it?" I'd love to see how THAT race turns out. You can't deminish a race drivers role in sports just because he drives a car, because sports are all about fighting to win, cooperation, concentration, coordination and creativity and I do believe NASCAR racing falls into every one of those categories
[i]"Miller is one of the biggest sponsers around WI. Brewers"[/i] The beer is not a particularly good point to bring up - Miller is also owned by MOLSON of Canada (Coors too) More "Selling of America." I'm not into supporting Canada - yet - besides ... Miller blows
He lost Champions endorsement because Champion is a very staunch supporter of our troops, no matter what the fight is. They decided to cut ties with Mendenhall because they don't see eye-to-eye on this issue and they don't think Mendenhall can unobjectively represent them any longer.
I can't call his comments "stupid," as much as I can call his comments "ignorant." Everybody is entitled to their opinion. Some are just not as well informed as others and Rashard Mendenhalls are not very well informed. He said not to chastise Bin Laden, can't believe people rejoice in his death and we only got one side of the story. Which tells me he was sorely uninformed about al Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden and the 6 people who were killed by al Qaeda the FIRST time they tried to blow up the WTC. Or the 244 innocent lives al Qaeda snuffed out when they bombed the US embassies in Tanzania & Kenya. Or the 14 innocent US sailors that were murdered when al Qaeda suicide bombers rammed the USS Cole docked in Yemen. It's not ALL about the 3,000 innocent people al Qaeda killed in the WTC, or the other events on 9/11 - the US has been after Osama Bin Laden for 18 years. Ever since 1993 when al Qaeda bombed the WTC the first time and the USA suddenly realized al Qaeda was operating on US soil.
Stocton and Elway are both great choices, but I don't consider them any better than MLB Hall Of Famers Ryne Sandberg & Earl Averill, or the most decorated American Winter Olympic athlete of all time, Apolo Anton Ohno
It was a rule way before Rose - it was in place because of the "Black Sox Scandal" of the 1919 World Series.
I have no personal feelings one way or another towards Rose, but for all the awards he won and all the records he set, he threw them all away. He was so vain about his public image, he voluntarily accepted his ban so none of the specifics about the case would come out in public. He sat down with Paul Giamatti and together they struck a settlement deal. Now, he sees the public would have forgiven him and wants to change his mind. He knew what he did (for 14 yrs.) was wrong, but he never came clean about ANY of it ... until 3 days before his book hit the stands. Coincidence? I think not. Self-serving? Without a doubt. I don't know why so many people hate him, other than the fact they believed in him. He's not your classic "bad-guy" - in fact he stinks at it. He's been caught every time he's tried to get one up on life
Anyone who thinks Rose never changed his lineups around to give himself the best odds of making money, is pretty naieve. Only bet ON his team my ass. The guy wasn't an occasional bettor, he had/has an everyday addiction to gambling. I don't believe for one minute, he bet on his team to WIN each and every day through 160 games. Surely he had to know they played better teams than his. Better teams out there to bet on. I almost give roid-rats more integrity than Rose - almost
