  1. I'm with you. I used to go to about 8-10 games a year, but have gone to none the past 2 seasons. It's too expensive, and as much as I really want to see the Mets' new stadium, I don't think I will be going. At least not this year.
  2. He fessed up, but then says he didn't know what he put into his body. Come on, A-Rod.
  3. It's true. Every time I'm watching espnews or listening to the radio in the car and baseball is the subject, it's always about fucking steroids now. I used to turn it off to shield him from it, because I didn't want him to think that was the way to go in sports. Now, since he's been playing football, I try to teach him the dangers of it and let him see and hear the ridicule these guys have to deal with when they get caught.
  4. No action will be taken, he'll just have to live with the mark of shame for the rest of his career. And singling out A-Rod should be expected. You make potentially $305 million, and there's a target on your back.
  5. And that is what I hate about all this. Every player who accomplishes something great will be looked at suspiciously. I really never thought A-Rod was juicing, although I'm not surprised, and actually wanted him to break Bonds' record so it wouldn't be tainted.
  6. It was always cheating. Just because the morons who made the rules didn't call it illegal, doesn't mean it's not cheating. Body builders in your local YMCA who do it are cheating. I'm pretty sure A-Rod wasn't openly getting shot up in the clubhouse because "everyone is doing it and it's not considered cheating". This thing goes way beyond A-Rod. Too many people turned a blind eye and let this get out of control, because everyone was getting rich, and baseball was booming. I'm just disagreeing with those who want to give A-Rod a pass. When the so called best player in the game gets busted for performance enhancement, it's a big deal. Every time some cheater gets outed, I have more respect for guys like Jeter. If he ever gets named, I might shoot myself.
  7. I'm sick of this guy. I feel like he's been the Mets top prospect, and 20 years old, since 1947. He'll never suit up for the Mets, or he'll get traded for a weak hitting catcher and an oft injured outfielder.
  8. Just because he's not the only one to have ever done it, doesn't give A-Rod a pass. If this is true, then he's a cheater, and will forever be tainted like McGwire, Bonds etc... The guy is the highest paid player ever, and fans are the ones who pay for it. Shame on him if it's true. You can't bring up bats, tightly wound balls etc., because in that aspect, it's a level playing field. Every pitcher uses the same ball. Every hitter has access to the same bats. Cheating is cheating, and one guy doesn't get a pass because he's not the only cheater. My son associates every great baseball feat with steroids now, because that's all he sees on TV or hears on the radio. This whole era sucks!
  9. When the offseason began, I was against it. Now, I'm getting pissed that the Mets seem to not be even considering it. We need this guy!!
  10. Hmm, not long ago people were ready to erect statues of Romo and were one postseason win away from anointing him as "great". Of course, he doesn't ever play well when the stakes are high, but he still got himself a nice 67 million dollar payday for putting up good fantasy numbers. Good for Tony. Hardly worth it, IMO. Maybe someday he and the Cowboys will be showcased on "America's Game: The Missing Rings"
  11. Come to think of it, Eli has played in 7 playoff games, and played well in 5 of them. In '07, he played very well in the 2nd half against Philly, from what I remember. He's had 2 bad playoff games, and one of them was his 1st playoff game, and that's to be somehwat expected.
  12. Even that wasn't his fault, as it was in Smith's hands and bounced off. Everyone knows Eli played very well in the postseason last year, and that Romo never has and probably never will. He's a loser playing on a team of losers. He's right about one thing, Eli doesn't win that ring without the rest of the team, especially the defense. But it goes both ways. Eli played flawlessy, and without that, they wouldn't have won it. You can't expect a Cowboy fan to comprehend the fact that football is a TEAM game, and no one man can do it alone. Eagle fans understand this, as they've been watching one man carry them for years, but keep coming up short.
  13. He's durable, tough mentally, and he's a winner. Sounds like alot of money, and it is, but you just don't find good NFL QBs on trees, and that's what Eli is. I wish he'd be more consistent, but that's Eli. I used to be real hard on the guy, but I'm glad he's going to be ours for a long time.
  14. Why isn't the dog bringing up the 1st down he got on 4th and 2 on the game's first drive? I suspect that he just wasn't as healthy as he was letting on. This has nothing to do with him not getting the 1st down late in the game. All game long I remember asking, "Where's Jacobs?" There were long stretches where he wasn't on the field. I don't see how someone can find fault with this guy after running for 92 yards on 19 carries against the no.3 defense on a less than 100% leg. He's the only one who had an impact offensively. No one has ever said he's an elite back, but he is unique, and his physical style of running is fun to watch. So what if he gets tackled for a loss once in awhile, or didn't come up with the alleged huge 4th down conversion with the team already down 2 scores? He was the least of their problems. Looks like someone is just trying to stir the pot. You'd have more credibility if you went after Eli on this one.
  15. I don't see how the Giants can keep this guy, despite what Reese and some of the players have said the past 2 days. He's got too many issues, can't be trusted. See ya, Plax.
  16. Man, this hurts, but the same could be said about the Philly-Giant game. I'm sorry, Eli, I still love ya.
  17. I'm hoping the new stadium is less prone to tricky wind conditions. Eli did it in Green Bay, so I don't think it's the cold, it's that god damned wind.
  18. Difference is Shockey would do that at any time, not just when the game was well in hand. I didn't like what McNabb did, and just so you know, I didn't like Strahan calling out the Patriots during last year's parade. Both were unnecessary, and somewhat classless. I like McNabb, always have, and wouldn't mind seeing him win a title. Just not this year.
  19. He didn't throw the ball at emblems, he threw it the playclocks.
  20. 3rd and 20 will sting for me. After that play, I just knew it was gonna snowball. The 1st Eli pick was obviously a killer, but that was an impressive 3 yard TD drive for Philly. Give em credit. About the wind, I was scratching my head on that one. What the the hell were they thinking?
  21. Yeah, me too. I have to admit though, I'm not nearly as bummed as I was excited last year. I think it's a combination of knowing that championships are hard to come by, and thinking that if this team stays together, they'll be contenders for a while. That's all you can ask for, then you hope things go your way in the playoffs.
  22. He deserves some of it as well. He makes those kicks, it could be a different game. No way we go for it on 4th down twice in the 4th quarter if those kicks were made. Alot of blame to go around in this one, and yes, I'm blaming Plaxico too.
  23. Good points, and all you have to do is look at this message board. Last week, not much action. Today, plenty!
  24. I don't agree with this. The Giant defense was very intense, and played with a great sense of urgency, and that was clear every time Westbrook touched the ball. Giants ran ball the well for the most part, and I don't think Eli was sacked once, against a spirited and ferocious defense, so there must have been some intense and urgent line play going on there as well.
