  1. I completely disagree. I don't believe the gap between smaller and bigger market teams is getting large in the least... in fact, I see the opposite effect. A lot of small market teams just seem to 'get it' now, and you see teams the smart teams like Minnesota & Tampa building teams locking up their major players eariler in their career. True, big market teams like New York(s) are always going to be able to buy a competitive team, but that's shown to be a double edge sword, because lately their teams have crumbled when they face teams with slightly less talent, but loaths more chemistry.

    With that said, I love the moves both New York teams have made. They both had obvious holes in their teams, and filled them with the best players money can buy. The move I question is the BoSox going after Tex. If they sign him and use him to replace Lowell, that's one thing. However there are rumors going around that they want to use Tex to replace Ortiz... which is a HUGE mistake and would kill chemistry with the team.

  2. Last night, I went into the night with a two point lead on my opponent in my league with only one spot left for each team able to gain points. They had the Buccs D, I had DeAngelo Williams.

    Needless to say I raped that outcome... and am seriously starting to LOVE Williams.

  3. Quantum of Solace - 9/10

    I solidly loved this movie. As the previous review stated, the only qualm I had with this movie was that I thought there were a couple too many chase scenes, or the ones they did have were drug out too entirely long. This is the complete opposite compliant of the first film, which I thought lacked enough action sequences and was too storyline driven. I also didn't think Craig brought his best Bond for this film, though it was probably the way he had to carry the character in the movie, so I'm not going to dig into Craig. Over all, I liked this film a lot and like the first, left wanting to see a sequel.

  4. I'd rather be OPY than 1st team all conference <_<

    I just don't get the point of naming him to 2nd team AC ... THAT doesn't make sense.

    My logic behind that way of thinking is this... Bradford was a better quarterback between him and Colt McCoy (at least number wise). Both had similiar pass attempts, yet Bradford threw for nearly 600 yards more, and 14 more touchdowns. So if you had to choose who was a better quarterback, the numbers say that Bradford wins that arguement.

    And IMO Harrell shouldn't even factor into the equation. He threw the ball more then 150 more times then Bradford, yet only finished with slighly over 500 yards more, and fewer touchdowns. If you GEEK out Harrell's numbers, and give him the same amount of completions as Bradford/McCoy, he has worse numbers then either Bradford, McCoy, or Chase Daniels.

    However there is little doubt in my mind that Colt McCoy was the best offensive player in the conference. He was arguably the first or second best quarterback in the conference, and was his team's leading rusher, and unlike the other canidates... he has no supporting cast. He was more valuable to his team then possibly any one person in the country, without qustion in the Big 12 conference.

    So with that pathway of thinking, I can understand why the Big 12 named him OPOTY, yet only second team conference. Bradford was probably a better quarter, while McCoy was a better overall player.

  5. I've been sick for the past few days, so I caught up the ole' Netflix account....

    The Strangers....2/10 Admittingly, I normally don't like these movies so the chances were pretty high I wasn't going to like this one either. It was boring, with WAY to many (supposedely) dramatic pauses. The only reason I kept watching till the end was to see if my hunch was right that the boyfriend was behind the attacks all along. :crying: I was wrong, and thus wasted a good hour of my life. Thanks! Way to make the flu even worse.

    Ironman...8/10 I have never read a comic in my life, though found myself enjoying this movie a lot. Downey was awesome, and the movie flowed extremely well. THere wasn't a lot of dead spots (infact I can't remember any off the top of my head), and seemed to keep you entertained without having lots of action.

    Harold & Kumar II...7.5/10 I really liked the movie, admittingly not as much as the first, but still very much. The only thing that sucks is they killed off Neil Patrick Harris, which is why HALF the movie is awesome.

  6. First off, I agree with Httk that Cutcliff was the ideal choice but I don't get all the hate on Kiffin. Is it his fault that Al Davis is nutsfuck, and crazy? I personally like Kiffin, and he is someone I hoped would be in the running for the Notre Dame job.

    Also Ed Ogeron may be an awful head coach, but he is a HELL of a recruiter... and ya know, they aren't bringing him to be the head coach so what does that have to do with anything?

    I love this move by Tennessee, actually. Lets face it, Tennessee is no Texas, California, Florida, or Pennsylvia. There isn't a TON of talent inside the state, so being a great recruiter is something you NEED at a program like Tennessee. The combination of Kiffin/Ogeron is something that may bring in a shit-ton of recruits over the next few years, and set up Tennessee for a nice run. I hope it works out for them.

  7. A few weeks ago Tech proved they were for real against the Longhorns. Tonight, we find out if they are championship material. There is a lot of difference between beating a team at the ass end of a back-to-back-to-back top ten team gauntlet that Texas was forced to endure, and defeating OU at their house.

    My pick, 44-27 Sooners

  8. Well, he DID get into a fight with a coach at halftime of a playoff game his team was WINNING, and then y'know...they fell apart. I'd call that a distraction.

    REALLY? You think that's the reason the Bengal's the lost their playoff game? Funny, I thought that defensive lineman from your the Steelers cheapshotting Carson Palmer and fucking up his knee had a lot more to do with it... :shifty:

    I guess Chad Johnson's antics are also the reason Chris Henry keeps getting arrested, Rudi Johnson got fat and slow, and their defensive couldn't stop a whore from praying. And his antics are probably the reason they have a complete dipshit as an owner, and one hit wonder as a coach.

    That's surely HAS to be it!!!

    ...cause ya know, the Bengals had it SOOOOOO together before Chad Johnson got there. :blush:

  9. You have to wonder how the rest of the coaching staff has to feel about it, though. I know if I was a coach or assistant on a team and had been there awhile and they not only announce a newcomer as the next head coach, meaning I don't even get a chance to interview for the job once the current coach retires, but give him a big raise, I'd be downright insulted if not pissed off. And I'd probably start seeing if any other decent schools need someone at my position or are willing to interview me about the head coaching job after the season and start preparing my resume.

    It'll be interesting to see if Texas has any changes in its coaching staff after the season is over.

    Greg Davis is their offensive cord, and he is Mack Brown's best friend. So I wouldn't worry about him leaving. Also he is isn't a logical successor canidate since he is about three days away from being as old as my dead grandpa.... :lmao:

    I still stand by what I said however. Texas is one of the most demanding jobs in college football, and with the current state of the program being what it is, I believe they could get someone MUCH better who has proven he can be a winner. If Texas were say...in the situation of Notre Dame, or even on the level of Texas AM, I would feel differently. However when you are one of the top 5 programs at the moment, I personally feel as though you can do much better then someone who'se only head coaching experience consist of when he played Super Techo Bowl, and College Football Fun Times in college.

  10. He's not going to Tampa. The only people on the team Gruden has less patience for besides quarterbacks are wide recievers... after all Gruden and Keyshawn worked out LOVELY didn't it?

    However I totally agree with you. Ocho Cinco is finished with the Bengals after this season. They need cap space to throw as TJ, and more then likely have already found a replacement in Crabtree (DAMN YOU! I wanted him to fall to the Niners) will be his replacement. In fact, this move should have happened LAST off season, but Mike Brown is an idiot.

    As for where he may land? Who knows. It's a money grab situation, so he's likely to end up anywhere. Washington makes sense. Oakland too, but again it's hard to tell. Who woulda thunk that Edge would have went from Indy to Arizona a few years ago?!?!?!

  11. "Value" is the key here. EF already made an extinsive push for Maur. He was the leader on a team that pushed for the playoffs and didn't make it. Pedroia was the makeshift leader of an injury laden team that pushed for the playoffs and made it. To me, he's got more "value" in this instance.

    Exactly. There was little doubt in the National League that Albert SHOULD have won. He had a 'superman' year (to use EF's term). He was obviously better then anyone else in the NL this year, so the fact that he couldn't lead his team to the playoffs isn't as big of a deal to me, as it is in the AL where as there isn't that one singular 'superman' performer. So in this case, I think carrying your team to the playoffs should mean more then in the NL, which is why I like the MVP going to Pedrioa. You could argue that Youk was as good as Pedrioa, but not better.

  12. As a fan of Texas, I am not in favor of this move if the intentions are as what is being reported. Muschamp may turn out to be a fine coach someday, but his first job SHOULD NOT be at Texas. Taking a job like Texas... 'Bama-Notre Dame-ect, where their is built in pressure to win RIGHT NOW, and win BIG is difficult enough for any coach. Asking someone who has never been a head coach before in their life, to do this is putting your program in a bad situation.

    With that said, I hope this move is nothing more then a PR move, and done strictly to keep Muschamp as their defensive cordinator for the time being. If that is the case, then I like the move. However I have my reservations since Mack Brown has made it clear that he doesn't intend to coach forever, and with already a National Title in the trophey case... the day he retires may be sooner rather then later.

    I like Mack Brown, so I hope he stays the coach for a long time (or until he loses to OU again) but if he moves on, Texas should go after an established coach. Seriously if Clemson can get Lane Kiffin, Notre Dame get Charlie Weis, and Arkansas get Bobby P, surely Texas can attract someone with a better resume then Will Muschamp.

  13. WIDE RIGHT! WIDE RIGHT!! WIDE RIGHT!!!

    I was so pissed that Cleveland was going to blow another victory for Brady Quinn... bastards. Thank god Buffalo couldn't kick a critical field goal to save its life. ... or to win a Superbowl :lmao: soz, I couldn't resist
