  1. I think the only thing more improbably in sport history than the Cards winning SB43, is the Giants winning SB42.
  2. I don't know it that was meant as some sort of joke or not. But no. However, McNabb is the correct answer...rational is totally off base.
  3. The following quarterbacks are in sequence: Warren Moon Matt Ryan Derek Anderson Brett Favre Who comes next in this sequence? a) Tom Brady b) Donovan McNabb c) Ben Roethlisberger d) Chad Pennington And why?
  4. I am pissed that he didn't get fined. Fines come out on Friday and he didn't get one. No way was Wes Welker's snow angel more unsportsmanlike than McNabb's stunt, and Wes got fined. The NFL needs to be more consistent.
  5. yup. kinda of amazing how few.
  6. How many active head coaches in the NFL have won a superbowl as a head coach? who are they?
  7. Pretty much same deal in the AFC, by flexing the Jets-Mia game to after NE-Bills, if NE wins it gives Jets less incentive to play MIA.
  8. Someone emailed this to me and I though you guys might find it funny.... I quickly scanned the headlines to see if it was already posted, I didn't see that it was, if it is a repeat my apologies. ---- After last night I may hate the cowboys more than you guys do! F^*( A-holes should have won that game. Hopefully we will play game against each other sooner than 2011.
  9. Possible but unlikely. Possible because on any given Sunday any team can beat any team. Unlikely because the '07 Patriots is the most dominant team in the Superbowl era. Having a PPG difference of +19.7. The 86 Giants at +8.4, doesn't even make the top 20 list. The '07 Giants beating the '07 Patriots is an unlikely event. It happened in one of the two games in which the teams met, but it was still an unlikely event. I say that meaning no disrespect to the Superbowl champion New York Giants, the Giants played better football on the day it mattered. Edit to add: And there is no comparison between the '86 Broncos with a PPG of 3.2 and the '07 Patriots.
  10. Well, the thread is a weak attempt at humor. I posted the same on a Colts board and was told I was responsible for cardiac failure between the time they read the subject line and the body of the message.
  11. Kraft might not be rushing to pickup someone with this guys history. Every team overlooks some off-field misbehavior, but beating a someone because they are Jewish is likely something Kraft won't accept.
  12. Ever heard of time sharing? With time sharing you the right to occupy a space for a certain period of time each year, eg third week in May. With the PSL you are buying the right to occupy space on days in which the Giants play football at home. The Jets/Giants PSLs are less valuable than those that give you the right to buy tickets to non-exempt event (concerts etc) but no PSL gives you the right to attend every event held in the stadium. Having a PSL in a stadium that hosts the superbowl will not secure you a ticket to the SB. What is exempt or not is largely in control of the stadium owners. In general offering PSL owners the first crack at buying tickets, helps the owner of the stadium sell tickets so making an event non-exempt is not done unless the performer insists. What the Jets/Giants should do for concerts is give PSL owners the right to buy half the tickets. Own a 4 pack you can buy 2 tickets to see concert. By and large as long as both parties are over 18 you can contract to do anything that is not illegal. And as this is a luxury item, if you don't like the pricing of PSLs your best recourse is not to buy it. This not price gouging of infant formula. If sufficient number of people refuse to purchase the seller will have to make adjustments.
  13. CB Ricky Manning Jr was released by the bears,
  14. Brady actually told a Boston radio station the day after the AFCCG (this was before the boot photos came out) that is ankle was not bother him enough to keep him out of the SB, but he expected it would keep him out of the probowl and talked about a golf plans he had for the weekend of the pro-bowl. He was never going to go. Not sure if Moss made the decision before or after the SB. Moss probably would go if all he had to do is play football, he was getting really really tired of the media before the SB. If he went to the pro-bowl he would probably be the number one media draw and I don't think he wants to spend a week talking to the press about losing, if he is going to be a Patriots, why he hates the media, DV case, Rice etc. Good shot Osi will now be the number one media draw. Which is good. Osi should be the number one media draw at the probowl.
  15. Yankee fans are arrogant assholes, that have a sense of entitlement and declare any season which doesn't result in winning the WS an utter failure. Many Patriot fans are copying their worst characteristics.
  16. you might enjoy this post which was done primarily to annoy the visiting Colt trolls... http://www.patsfans.com/new-england-patrio...ead.php?t=77194
  17. That was sarcasm directed at the folks calling for cutting our Pro-bowl o-line, record breaking WR, and OC. Also a somewhat failed attempt to bring those folks who consider anything but a SB win a failure down to earth by insulting them the most horrible way possible...comparing them to Yankee fans.
  18. My two cent. Maybe, maybe not. If Shockey is such a cancer or so antagonistic that his presence makes Eli nervous.... then his absence could effect Eli's accuracy. One thing is for sure the team has played much better without him. Of all the areas where we fans fly dark in speculating is team chemistry is the worse. Sometimes it turns out that a person everyone on the outside thinks is a cancer, is sometimes really someone who holds the team together, and other times someone we think is a real team player is a problem maker.
  19. Well I guess I am already at step 5..... http://www.sportswrath.com/index.php?showtopic=20399
  20. Now thats funny you point out my typo and misspell his name Belichick.
  21. Stienbrenner is in free fall.. you fired one of the best coaches in the game.... Firing Torre for last season would be like firing Bilichick over yesterdays loss.
  22. baseball season hasn't started and I have this intense need to point out that you guys are stinking up the Atlantic Division.... I feel better now.
  23. Its official. I am rooting for the Giants to win the NFC next year. I want a fucking rematch. You guys only had to wait 6 weeks for yours. I don't want to have to wait 4 years for a regular season game. Only way we rematch is in the SB before that.
  24. I am not an Eli hater. And Eli played very well. But I think the D-line was the superstar for the Giants. I think you need a really good reason to consider an offensive player for the MVP when the final score is 17-14. Likewise I would be a bit puzzled by awarding a defensive player such an award if the final score is 40-38. Here I don't see such a reason. The final drive was great. As was the opening drive. The defense line was freaking awesome the entire game. I am sure you have heard time and time again, that "Brady has all the time in the world to pass." The fact remains not withstanding yesterday, the Patriots has one the best pass protection offensive line if not the best on in the league. The Giants was the only team this year to break thru that o-line. They truly were the difference maker without the outstanding d-line, given what Brady, Welker, and Moss can do if there isn't pressure and given that the Giants secondary is not really great, without the outstanding play of the d-line, the offenses 17 points would have hung on the losing end of something in the neighborhood of 35-17. It is not unusual for a QB to get more credit than he deserves in a win, and it certainly is the norm for the QB to take an unfair quantity of blame for loses. So this it maybe only fair he receive the award to make up for all the bashing he took for the mistakes of others. But the real difference maker in this game was the D-line. When the 13 teams scheduled to play the Patriots next season sit down and get ready. The question is not going to be "what did Eli do differently against the Patriots to allow them to succeed where every else one failed?" No, the question will be, "how did the Giants d-line manage to get around the Pats o-line and hit Brady, and how can we emulate that." Once again, no knock on Eli. And he clearly came into his own this year. But the stars at tomorrow parade should be the front 4.
