Posted Thursday July 09, 2009, About: White: UFC will be bigger than NFL
Haha, pipe dream.

Start small Dana...get bigger than NASCAR or the NHL 1st...I highly, highly doubt UFC will ever be more popular than the NFL...and to say it's going to be the biggest sport in the world, and trump soccer....well, that's an even bigger, unrealistic dream.
Posted Thursday June 04, 2009, About: Is Bradley on U.S. hot seat?
Can anyone tell me why Sasha K is put into ANY game, regardless of circumstances? I can't. How that guy is on the USMNT is beyond me.

And my $0.02 is that Beasley on the back line is not going to be seen again...was essentially ineffective.
Posted Thursday June 04, 2009, About: Is Bradley on U.S. hot seat?
I agree w/ you Kramer...1 poor showing is not reason enough to can him and if there is a poor showing on Saturday, it will get a little hot but still not worthy of firing him...Bradley has done a decent job so far.

Can he play defense though? The guys on the pitch apparently can't.

"how his PRODUCTION is grossly disproportionate to his salary" is how that should read.
Posted Friday May 29, 2009, About: Driver wants new Packers deal
DD's last sub-1k receiving yard season was 2003 (and still pulled in +1k yards the season before) and grabs 70-90 balls a season. Not sure how his salary is grossly disproportionate to his salary.

I can understand him asking for a bump in pay, but at 34, well, I don't think he'll get it. He's making about what he should for the production he has.
Posted Saturday May 23, 2009, About: Peavy eyeing Cubs trade?
Peavy may want to go to Chicago but I don't think the Padres will trade him away from some magical beans. Not sure the Cubs have the farm system talent to make any kind of trade to SD...course Cubs got Harden last year for what seemed like a steal, so who knows.
Posted Thursday May 07, 2009, About: Police smuggle ref out of country
Well, of the 2 hand balls in the box, the one in extra time I can understand why it wasn't called...the Barca defender turned his back to try to block the shot and it intersected with his arm....clearly unintentional.

The 1st one, while I don't think it wasn't intentional, probably deserved to be call...again, not intentional but pretty obvious hand ball. Though I also understand why it wasn't called, the same logic used in the US - the referees don't want to be the ones responsible for determining the result of the game.

I feel kinda bad for Chelsea, but oh well. If I was the ref, I would've ejected Ballack for being all on me like he was in that 93rd minute. Also, wouldn't be suprised to see Drogba fined or suspended either...he really gave that ref a hard time after the game and spent a good minute or so gesturing to the camera...I can only wonder what he said to the camera too.

Too bad for Klins...great showing w/ Germany in the WC in 2006 but Euro football is dog eat dog...if you're not producing you'll get canned, no matter what your last name is.
Posted Sunday April 26, 2009, About: Yankees president fires back at MLS commissioner
Dang...This comment ^^^^ is in reference to Comment #60...for some reason the quote didn't come with my original comment.
Posted Sunday April 26, 2009, About: Yankees president fires back at MLS commissioner
No reasonable person would expect the MLS to be on the same level as the NFL.

I mean, hell, baseball has been around for more than 100 years....football for 80....NHL for somewhere in the 80-100 range (too lazy to look). NHL has more history than the NFL but has never been close to the same level as the NFL...baseball has more history than the NFL but the NFL has surpassed them....to think that a leagues' years of existence will ever determine where a sport falls in America's love is a poor comparison b/c if it were true, the NFL would be the 3rd most popular sport.

Either way, I think soccer is still growing. MLS is in the black finally after being in the red for years upon years....thanks mainly to strong corporate ties to prop them up. While you won't see MLS games in primetime on Sportscenter, its still carried on ESPN & FSC. Champions' League games are aired live on ESPN and the World Cup is carried on both ABC & ESPN. Will it ever be as popular as football or baseball? Nope. Could it surpass NASCAR? Perhaps...and I think its already beating out the NHL (at least in the US).
Posted Sunday April 26, 2009, About: Yankees president fires back at MLS commissioner
You know, I think you pretty much summed up everything I had to say.

Garber's comments were about the state of sports economics as a whole and this Yank exec got his knickers in a twist. Then jests that the Yanks draw more in a year than a league that's not even 10 years old draws in a season.

Well Mr. Levine...compare your attendance to Man U if you want to compare your big boy status to another big boy league across the pond where soccer is the most popular sport.
Posted Sunday April 26, 2009, About: Why Packers passed on Crabtree for Raji
When you look at their receiving corp from 1-5, name a better one yngwiescruggs...

Hell, even 1-3 I'd say they're easily in the top 3 in the league
Posted Friday April 24, 2009, About: Chiefs, Packers eyeing fast-rising Jackson?
The question is though, if the Chiefs want him more than than the Packers @ 9 want him, they would still need to arrange a trade that drops them back, but no further than 8...and most of the teams from 4-8 are going to want to stay where they are or drop back themselves. So they'll have to take him @ 3 or trade back and hope GB doesn't take him at 9
Posted Wednesday April 22, 2009, About: Cutler's Chicago night life in question?
I mostly agree with this....Bears got to the SB with a much more horrible QB and equally mediocre receiving corp. Their defense is nowhere near as good as it was a few years ago, but still respectable.

Either way, I do like that the Bears got a quality QB....sets up a nice, stronger GB v CHI rivalry. Both teams have young, promising QBs.
Posted Wednesday April 22, 2009, About: Cutler's Chicago night life in question?
Yeah right....

1st...I'm 28 so I'm not middle aged
2nd...not fat
3rd...not married
4th...not jealous of Cutler - Jay, get a haircut, you look like Larry of the Three Stooges
Posted Wednesday April 22, 2009, About: Cutler's Chicago night life in question?
Crappy, yes....but a good example of poor judgment. What is any man over the age of 30 doing in a hot tub with high school girls?
Posted Wednesday April 22, 2009, About: Cutler's Chicago night life in question?
Either way, as I said before and I'll say again....this is a non-issue

Article doesn't even say that Cutler was drinking, it simply says "night life". One can be out on the town and not drink and have a good time. I have no doubts that he drinks when he goes out, but I'd be skeptical if he's getting grossly intoxicated.
Posted Wednesday April 22, 2009, About: Cutler's Chicago night life in question?
Chewy was acquitted....but yeah, haha, not very good for him....I'm suprised he was acquitted. I personally think he was guilty as sin.

Congrats...you are today's winner of the "Idiotic Statement of the Day"
Posted Wednesday April 22, 2009, About: Cutler's Chicago night life in question?
It says "night life", not "drinking life". You're implying that he's drinking when he goes out at night but it's not explicitly stated. You're making an implicit argument.

Most diabetics can drink...it's just the extent of drinking that puts their life at risk (or anyone for that matter). I'd stop presuming he's drinking...and even if he is, it's his life to screw up.
