Anyone willing to bet that the '72 Dolphins put this woman up to it to cause a distraction?

Yes, i'll bet, you goon.

[MojoFearsSatan]

that's it? pff.

Well, that I can remember from what I've seen/read, in the time I've been watching the game, yes. I felt no obligation to mention the usual fights that occur at rivalry games like Celtic-Rangers, AC Milan-Internazionale, England-Germany, anyone-Galatasaray... and the most nuts soccer rivalry is probably River Plate-Boca Juniors in Argentina. Some crazy fights there.

[jazz]

still not impressed. needs more blood/violence :pout:

why couldn't the nfl schedule one game for saturday night and then the other for sunday night? having both games on one after the other is re:tard:ed.

Hasn't Saturday night been notoriously bad for TV, as far as the number of people watching? I guess the execs think everyone goes out on Saturday nights.

I kind of like the back-to-back schedule, as it's like an NFL regular-season Sunday. As a bonus, it happens that NBC is broadcasting the Bruins/Rangers game 12:30. Total sports Sunday ftw.

i keep forgetting that not everyone is married :smile2:

although i still hate watching television for such long periods of time...even if it is sports-related. they could've at least had one game at 1pm, then the other (preferably the new england game) at 8:30pm.

[bleuMadonna]

I don't usually, but when it's sports, I don't seem to mind. I don't watch much else anyway. I do get annoyed about the NFC bias with the execs, their thinking that that is the preferred league or superior league, interest-wise. I suppose that was the case years ago, with the Bears, Giants, Cowgirls and Packers and such, but the AFC has some marquee value now. It's like the AL vs. NL bias.

[jazz]

maybe if it was like a soccer match where the only breaks were before, between periods, and after it ended, i wouldn't mind so much, but american football is just so tedious to watch with all the freaking commercial breaks between play.

i don't seem to have that problem too much with college football though, i will admit.

[bleuMadonna]

Yeah, the commercials are really annoying. I wouldn't mind the breaks in play so much if they didn't cut to a commercial for every one of them. Still, I <3 football so much, so it's the one thing I put up with, commercial-wise. When it all goes to pay TV, I'm going to be in trouble.

[jazz]

pay tv? like espn?

you can't afford espn? :what:

[bleuMadonna]

pay tv? like espn?

you can't afford espn? :what:
No, I can afford it, I just choose not to have cable because I don't watch enough TV to justify paying for it.

[jazz]

the basic cable bill is factored into my home owner's association fee whether i like it or not, so that wouldn't affect me to much. :byrche:

[bleuMadonna]

the basic cable bill is factored into my home owner's association fee whether i like it or not, so that wouldn't affect me to much. :byrche:

Yeah, if that were the case, I'd probably have it. I live in an area where rabbit ears still work. I imagine if I didn't, I'd have to get the most basic package just for reception's sake. I've been checking out new apartment complexes and some of them include cable, so I may end up with it at some point.

[jazz]

you might as well, because if monday night football wound up on espn, anything is possible.

[MojoFearsSatan]

Ha, we have a second team of analysts who we cut to when the US team go to commercial and only go to commercial when possession shifts or a timeout.

[bleuMadonna]

Ha, we have a second team of analysts who we cut to when the US team go to commercial and only go to commercial when possession shifts or a timeout.

Lucky you. Who are these analysts?

[MojoFearsSatan]

Ca depende. We have Kevin Cadle, who's presented NFL on Sky since ever for the Sunday night stuff on satellite, who has a panel often made up of injured or less big-name NFL players; we've had people like Dhani Jones in there. NFL on 5 (Monday Night Football) is a total comedy clusterfuck though - you have Mike Carlson, NFL.com's european delegate basically, who did all the reporting and shit on NFL Europe, and Colin Murray, who's this little Irish guy who presents radio shows and shit and loves the sport but knows jack shit about it and he always highlights things like cheerleaders getting hit by the ball and mascots fighting and stuff like that.

[bleuMadonna]

Heh, sounds like quite the mish-mash. Probably better than the commercials, though! Did Dhani wear his bow tie?

[jazz]

well, if it's any indication, i played the packers with the giants and beat them handily, 21-7. it should have been 31-7, but poor clock management towards the end of the second half fucked me up on a td, and since i set the wind to the highest setting (along with the cold temps), it messed up my only field goal attempt.

too bad i don't hate any of the nfc teams playing this year. :hrmph:

[MojoFearsSatan]

it's hard to hate a conference you feel sorry for... Pats are gonna win everything anyway, and I'm still gonna say I don't like them, and I'm so glad the Chargers beat the Colts cos it gives me someone to support. No offence, but Pats-Colts is like asking me to choose between AIDS and untreatable testicular cancer.

And yes, Dhani did wear his bow tie.

[jazz]

that shannon sharpe sure is an idiot. i cringe every time they cut to him on the nfl today.

oops. sorry, bro.

http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o56/leavethemanalone/shannoncry.jpg

[Pun'KinG']

I agree. CBS really dropped the ball when they hired him. I can't see any conceivable way his insight or presence on that panel adds anything remotely beneficial to their broadcast. :shrug: http://www.thepeoplescube.com/images/CBS_Logo.gif

and it can further my "05 Steelers = 07 Giants" links:

Injuries to top running backs leads to no-name coming in and doing awesome job at start of season (Ward)
Lock hall-of-famer retiring (Strahan)
Talented but often dubious QB playing well in playoffs (Manning)
Heavy back coming back from injury (Jacobs)
That's actually about it, but I just do it to wind up my Giants-supporting friend to get his hopes up before they get squashed like Miami.

Bill Belichick has been illegally taping opponents' defensive signals since he became the New England Patriots' coach in 2000, according to Sen. Arlen Specter, who said NFL commissioner Roger Goodell told him that during a meeting Wednesday.

"There was confirmation that there has been taping since 2000, when Coach Belichick took over," Specter said.

i'm pretty let down because i really wanted zach to win something with the dolphins (he was loyal for all these years), but with the current rebuilding phase and his age (almost 35), it's better that he moves on to a team that has a chance before it's too late.

Minus the one.

i love zach and i really hope he goes to a team that wins it all, but seriously, the guy is one concussion away from being forced to retire and he's almost 35. i could see why parcells didn't want to take the gamble.

Keyshawn Johnson denies getting offer from Dolphins (http://www.encircling.us/go.php?url=http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/football/pro/dolphins/sfl-flspdolphins20sbfeb20,0,3423181.story)

Johnson admits that if he does decide to play again he'd be receptive to playing for a Parcells-led team because of the familiarity it provides. He has spent three years collectively (two with the Jets and one in Carolina) playing in an offense run by Dan Henning, the Dolphins' new offensive coordinator. He previously claimed Henning is the best play-caller he has ever worked under.

And Johnson said he'd be receptive to mentoring Ted Ginn Jr. and Derek Hagan, the Dolphins' two young receivers.

i don't like this guy, but at least he's not as obnoxious as chad johnson and terrell owens. i guess it just depends how much we're willing to pay for him.

[bleuMadonna]

I don't know. He's pretty obnoxious. Remember that stupid book he wrote?

I like what the Tuna is doing down there. And please.....keep stealing players from the Midgets, Iggles, and Cowgirls!

I was hoping the Skins would take a look at Wilford or Starks (local guy) but they are being unusually quiet this offseason.

[Modus Ponens]

what about Lito?


I've seen some talk of moving Brown to SS to make room for Samuel.

oh, :bleu:'s gonna love this one.

Fuck Asante Samuel for going to the Eagles. During his news conference, he said he wanted to go to a team that had a chance to win the Super Bowl :what: Hellooooo? You just left one. I hate it when they lie. Why don't they just say, "I wanted as many millions as I could possibly get"?

Asante Samuel is beneficial even with an aging Brian Dawkins.

I still don't know about Javon Walker, but please don't pick up Muhsin Muhammad...we already have a version already called Reggie Brown. We don't need two of them.

tuna is basically rebuilding our core and he's not mortgaging our future by signing big names just to please the fickle fanbase, so i'm pleasantly surprised here. someone's doing it right for once.

the jets picked up some good players, but they tied up way too much money, imo.

teams that did well for themselves: browns, saints (50/50), jags, phins

[DJSteel]

Faneca FTL.. he was a great player.. honestly.. he hasn't been the same since their SB run in 05...he made it to the Pro Bowl on name alone the past two years...

[MAGO]

they've dumped a lot salary, so they're actually in pretty good shape to sign a couple of more players...

If you know the Steelers, you'd know they are consistently 15-20mil below the cap.. they don't like to spend.. they also really good at judging talent and when their careers are pretty much over... The only 2 players they got rid of the past ten years that were bad choices.. Chad Brown and Plaxico Burress.. they couldn't afford either players... Faneca wasn't worth the money that he wants..

[MAGO]

well having him at LG can't be as bad as the previous guy they had there ..lol

Yeah, and when will they get it that they need a top receiver?

[dionysusolympus]

Yeah, and when will they get it that they need a top receiver?

:shrug2: Randy Moss or Donte Stallworth (when he was available)would be perfect in that position, but money and ego conflicts with McNabb would create T.O. no. 2. That's the main reason at this point the Iggles won't get far...because of McNabb's ego hindering/overwhelming at the cost of the team.

I agree. Granted, I know he doesn't have the best receivers, but he never just throws one up to even give his guys a chance to make a play. He's too afraid to throw the pick.

[DJSteel]

well having him at LG can't be as bad as the previous guy they had there ..lol


Big Ben was sacked 46 and 47 times the past two season..after not been sacked more that 30 times previously.. a lot has to do with Faneca's lack of play...

[jazz]

i think the jets have officially lost it :crazy: they shelled out a bunch of money to sign calvin pace, a player who did decent in his contract year with the cards. wow.

http://www.encircling.us/go.php?url=http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3275059

[DJSteel]

maybe they thought he was Orlando Pace..lol

[Modus Ponens]

Still nothing out of the Skins aside from resigning Collins and Suisham. I'm not used to this kind of restraint. I would like to see us take a look at Bryant Johnson and I wouldn't have minded dealing for Robertson from our minor league affiliate (Jets).

We need a big WR and Johnson could fit that role nicely for a decent price. Robertson would do well in our defense and we could definitely use a penetrating DT now that injuries appear to be catching up with Griffin. A couple of moves like that would have freed us up to draft some young DL/OL and possibly a CB.

[jazz]

maybe they thought he was Orlando Pace..lol
lol

i'm glad the dolphins didn't counter with more money for a player that hasn't even been to the pro bowl! not to mention that darryl blackstock is still available and is 2-3 years younger (and cheaper i'm sure). if we can't land that guy, we could always draft shawn crable. :bleu:

[DJSteel]

Steelers still need to pick some FAs, but won't start looking until they resign their players set as RFA..although some of those guys, I love to see go..

[bleuMadonna]

maybe they thought he was Orlando Pace..lol

:lol:

Moss and the Pats are supposedly close to a deal. :cross:

[jazz]

i heard that moss and the pats agreed to a 3-year $27 million dollar contract.

did anyone really believe he was going to leave the pats? he knows they're one of the few teams that could win him the big one.

[Bruce]

No.

I heard Cooper Manning was coming out of retirement. He wants to beat Brady too. Make it a sweep. :byrche:

[jazz]

didn't cooper retire from football to be a fluffer on porn sets?

no? :erm:

Steelers signed Mewelde Moore..

well, rex did pretty well playing rg in 05, but then the next year he was moved over to lg and struggled big time. he did ok when he played under cam cameron, but apparently he didn't fit the :quote:parcells mold:quote: and they chose not to re-sign him.

he isn't too old (26) and still could be coached :shrug:

[DJSteel]

cool.. we need OL bad...

[jazz]

i'm surprised the jets haven't offered him a 5-year $50 million dollar contract yet :lol:

hey pats, here's a former dolphin...don't you want him? :smile2:

i keep hearing rumors that dallas wants to trade us their two early draft picks for our #1 to take mcfadden. apparently arkansas is jerry jones' alma mater and he has a raging hard on for dmac.

OR

atlanta is desperately in need for a qb. the rumor was that they would send us deangelo hall and their first pick in the draft (3rd overall).

idk, i want the dolphins to go with jake long and solidify the lg position for 10+ with that monster. i think if we trade down with the falcons, st. louis will take jake with the second pick.

dallas was scouting dmac LONG before the draft. depending on how jerry jones likes to spend, he might do it. and atlanta always needs a qb, now that vick is in the dogg pound.

[DJSteel]

ugh.. Jerry Jones is a Moron.. I'd take Marion Barber over DMac right now.

i wouldn't trade the pick and just draft a cb. hall seems like a locker room cancer.

Atlanta would be very stupid to give all of that up just to move up two spots...

[jazz]

well, atlanta is stupid.

and if they fear miami taking ryan (which they won't, but you never know), that's the only way to do it.

[MAGO]

i think they fear another team trading up to get him, they know Miami has no interest in him, they(Miami) have too many holes to fill before they make a QB the #1 pick which will require close to 30 million in guarantees...

[jazz]

it's obvious that atlanta doesn't think miami or st. louis aren't interested in ryan since they haven't offered anything (as far as i know), but parcells is hinting at it through the media, saying that mccown will be competing for a job and we still need a #3 qb. hey, whatever works.

[dionysusolympus]

just rent aj feeley again.

[MAGO]

they're in a tough position...i know Parcells is desperate to trade out of that #1 spot...

well, it is a jerry jones-led team. :ha:

aaaanyways, parcells said that he wouldn't announce a move for the pick until a couple of days before the draft or right when it starts. personally, i think we should keep the pick after the hell we went through this past season, but we do need the extra picks.

greg: why the hell did the rams pick up trent green? i know he's just a backup, but he's one hit short of this: :pudie:

[dionysusolympus]
