Posted Monday September 15, 2008, About: Team sources: Davis to fire Kiffin
I would almost never say this about anyone, but Al Davis needs to die already. He has become a disgrace to the NFL and has, through his iron-grip tactics, driven the Raiders into the league cellar. Arrogant ****.
Posted Tuesday September 02, 2008, About: West, Magic to induct Riley
as long as we're on the topic....

in my research of basketball statistics, i came across an interesting index that calculates a player's chances of being inducted into the HOF based on a variety of factors. here are some VERY interesting examples.

Dirk and Nash have a higher probability than Scottie Pippen.
Vince Carter, J-Kidd, and T-Mac have a higher probability than John Stockton.
Gilbert Arenas has a 20% higher chance than Tony Parker.
Allen Iverson has the same chance as Kobe and Shaq.
Mutumbo has a 0.73% chance of getting in (half as likely as Shareef Abdur Rahim).
Posted Tuesday September 02, 2008, About: Packers to lighten Grant's load
RB tandems are the wave of the future, my friends.

First, it makes it easier on teams who don't have the draft picks available to snag a premium power + speed back. Second, it obviously prolongs careers and keeps your RBs fresh for when you really need them late in games. Third, it allows offenses to show so many more looks, be it 2-RB backfields or constant RB motion to the flanks as a receiver (while still leaving an RB in the backfield to run). Fourth, it gives each RB more incentive to work hard and produce, since they won't be the Golden Boy who has ultimate job security.

However, all those reasons are bull**** because RB tandems kill fantasy football, which we all know is more important than real football anyway.

:-D

Posted Tuesday September 02, 2008, About: 'No doubt' a team in L.A. for 2009
Did you create your acct today and start commenting on every NFL story, somehow trying relate them to the patriots?

CA doesn't have enough teams because the 49ers and Raiders are, collectively, the teams God forgot about. They should be in the BCS rankings (tho i doubt they'd actually crack the top 25).

Florida has 3 teams, NY has 3 teams, we have the Chargers and two 53-man groups of criminals and fairies. LA would certainly draw some free agent interest, those looking for big money and a media frenzy, even if the team was terrible (see: NY Knicks).

another immature, bandwagon pats fan who believes in the infallibility of his own team. the nfl grovels to no one, because the league is certainly bigger than any one team. cheer for your team, enjoy their success, engage in playful smack-talk, but don't be an arrogant dick about it.
Posted Sunday August 17, 2008, About: 18-game regular season gains support
One side will argue that there isn't MORE labor being done, since there are 20 games including preseason and that wouldn't change. But players (starters) would argue that they would actually have to prep more for games that matter and therefore demand more money.
Posted Sunday August 17, 2008, About: 18-game regular season gains support
If players are going to play 2 more games a year, that's about a 12% increase in "effort and time," or in the players' union's words, labor. Guess what!!! Agents will be calling for all teams to give their players 12+% raises to compensate for their increased workload. Some players who KNOW they can't stay healthy the whole season will demand an even bigger raise or some kind of salary protection for ending the season on the IR. I don't agree with that point, but it is a valid one. All you'll see is Rosenhaus trying to fight for "the rights of his poor, over-worked" multimillionaires.
Posted Tuesday July 01, 2008, About: Turning down Pro Bowl nods?
I think one story sums up this entire fiasco, and illustrates why the fans don't know **** they're doing.

2004 Pro Bowl QB Selection:

Michael Vick: 2313 yds, 14 TDs, 12 INTs, 56% comp

Brett Favre: 4088 yds, 30 TDs, 17 INTs, 64% comp

Vick was voted to the Pro Bowl as the 3rd NFC QB.

Yes, I am a diehard Packer fan, and have an obvious bias in this case. But numbers don't lie. If only fans would vote on quality of play and not jersey sales, I'd respect the Pro Bowl rosters a little more.

Stunningly ignorant grammatical errors make your point that much more credible. If not for clarity of communication, at least learn to use English correctly for the sake of your own self-respect.

Utterly destroyed. Goodbye Sid, your time will come. Osgood ftw! :-D
Posted Sunday May 25, 2008, About: Porter: Cheating Patriots got off easy
Hawaiian Charger, all good points.

DanTheMan: you lose credibility because you have a picture of the very man as your icon. And like every other fairweather fan (we got em here in LA too) you simply can't admit your own team's faults.

As for taping, we all know the Pats were guilty. No reason to harp on it over and over again. But just consider this:
- They won each of their SBs by only three points, twice at the very end of the game.
- The year they bear Carolina, the Panthers had the stingiest defense in the league, esp at the end of the season. Yet the Pats smoked the holy balls out of them, and several CAR players, including Ken Lucas, said (paraphrasing) "it was like they knew our next move before we did."
- I'm sure other teams taped. But did those other teams with Super Bowls by the narrowest of margins against mostly favored opponents?

Taping isn't the only issue here. Remember the reports of visiting teams having QB headset "malfunctions" on third downs in the second halfs of games at Gillete Stadium? That's why the NFL now requires a league sound technician at EACH game to oversee headset functionality.

I hate the Pats and everything about them except for Brady (woo woo Michigan boy). I wonder how all this will affect his legacy, since knowingly or not he benefited from the cheating. If players using roids loses them the Hall, it should keep Belichick out. Period.
Posted Sunday May 25, 2008, About: Parcells unhappy with Taylor offers
"O-Lineman last to 38 on average, so why can't a D-Lineman?"

Wonderful statistic. Where'd you get it?

The average NFL career is 3 years, and one of the main reasons is because lineman flare out so quickly due to injuries and weight issues. It is the RARE exception for lineman to last so long (bruce smith/matthews etc). In the case of Taylor, he is tall, lean, and very athletic, so playing another couple years wouldn't be as much of an issue for him than it was for, say, Gilbert Brown (oh what a behemoth).

And as for Rice, he DIDN'T get hit all the time, that's one of the reasons why he lasted so long. Much like Marvin Harrison, he played the game hard but never unnecessarily so. He was never afraid to take a hit, but he also knew that running out of bounds for a gain of 8 is better than getting blasted out of bounds for a gain of 8. Superior route running, as practiced by these two, allows them to catch the ball in space and grant them most of the control over how the hit will go down, as opposed to catching it over the middle and letting the FS tee off on them.

Posted Thursday May 22, 2008, About: Stars complain about Wings faceoffs
wah wah wah, the red wings have been owning on faceoffs all season. winning faceoffs is just one of those things they do better than most, much like their PP unit. stop crying dallas, you got steamrolled.
Posted Thursday May 22, 2008, About: Packers RB expects new deal
I love the Pack, and I love Grant, but I agree with you guys. His production warrants more than league minimum, yes, but he has to prove he can do it as the premier back with another full season under his belt. Is it possible that he's afraid that now that defenses have tape on him, he may get clocked (possibly injured) and he'll be left without guaranteed money and millions to hold him over for a while?
Posted Friday May 02, 2008, About: Knicks contact fired Mavs coach
Avery should suit up FOR the knicks. he's a better play now than anyone on their roster. the little man that could!
Posted Monday April 21, 2008, About: Red Wings will ride Osgood
Remember the good old days of Osgood in NHL '99 on the PlayStation? He was a machine!

Hasek, I love ya, but Ozzie will take us to the cup. Hasek is a hell of a backup tho.
