no prob, I just use ESPN gamecast to keep track of games I'm interested in that I don't get. It's worth a look.
I'm not saying it's right, but they shouldn't punish one group of players because of what an entirely different part of the school does....
That's like saying MIT Engineers suck because they don't have a good Dentistry program.
I will say this, the entire system is absolutely arcane. It's also full of rules that can be selectively enforced and punishments that are negotiable.
The entire thing needs to be scrapped and simplified.
May very well be the case.
One thing I don't understand about Green Bay... You are down 26 - 0, don't you think it wise to put in Aaron Rodgers so he gets some playing time.....
I used to bleed Cowboy blue....til the trash from Arkansas took over. Now, a loss for the team of Jerry Jones is SWEET!
Hey since the Cards are sold out this year. A first believe since they've been here. We can watch them without the block out in the local market.
I like ESPN in HD on Dish.
yep but then Drew gave it right back.
Tennessee was protected by the SEC commissioner's office and apparently by someone in the NCAA. Even with obvious violations by UT, none were ever investigated seriously.
With the new SEC commissioner there seems to be somewhat of a cooling off with all of the backbiting.
My take is that every NCAA team violates the rules. Most rival coaches don't mind as long as it isn't too extreme. Fulmer, however, and to a lesser extent Spurrier take the rivalries extremely personally and inject a lot of hate into what were once intense but respectful rivalries.
Unfortunately, the NCAA is totally corrupt and inconsistent with their investigations and penalties.
I agree 100%.
It's especially important in the NFL, but all through every level in football, right down to Junior High, the better the line, the better the team. There are a few exceptions here and there, but that's a general rule to build on.
Well it really isn't :)
"You are down 26 - 0, don't you think it wise to put in Aaron Rodgers so he gets some playing time....."
Come on. Its not Favre's fault they were losing. If I was Rodgers I would have asked to be traded. Favre's going to be thinking he can do it again next year too and the year after that.
This is leading more credibility to the observation that Parcells has never won anything with Bellichick.
Best example may be the ol' Redskins. Slow, heavy, white RB (Riggins) unstoppable behing the Hogs. Decent but not great QBs (Williams, Rypien) winning Superbowls.
Favre has said he doesn't want to groom a new QB. His ego is killing the future of the Pack. I used to really like him, now it is pathetic seeing him flail about out there. Retire already!
Rest of the shots are at http://www.crawfordamerica.com, if anyone wants to check on the exploits of President Bush's home town team. BTW, I've added a podcast to the game notes of a short interview with the coach after the game.
Hey but Favre is best ever in NFL history as QB, don't you all get it?
I think you meant without Belichick.
It does appear "Tuna" is a she without some real brains running the game. I do think Manbreasts has an eye for talent re:drafts and free agents, but cannot manage a game or get a team to play consistent.
