I saw his speech and I guess I didn't take it the same way. The purpose of his speech was to explain how he used naysayers throughout his life as motivation to fuel his ''competitive fire'' as he called it. At least that's how I took it. Perhaps some would view this as the wrong thing to...

The one thing everyone forgets about Vick is that he was never really that good in the NFL. Incredible athlete? Yes. Great NFL quarterback? No. I don't really care if he comes back or not because I don't believe he'll make a huge impact with any team.

Wow, I'm shocked. There goes one of the last announcers I actually liked. IMHO Madden played a huge part in making football more appealing to non-diehard fans. His use of basic words and basic explanations made a complicated game easier to understand for many. He was often criticized for...

Tom Chambers dunk over Mark Jackson.

What a bunch of freakin crybabies. They don't like Favre because he didn't hang out with them off the field?? I swear, no one acts like a professional any more.

The only thing Matt Millen was worse at than managing a team was broadcasting. If Millen goes back to broadcasting I vow to destory every TV in my house and never watch the NFL again. Somewhere in hell there is a football game being broadcast with Bryant Gumble on play by play and Matt...

Congrats Detroit fans on getting rid of Millen, or as I like to call him, the Kevin McHale of football. One article said the team was something like 31-84 while Millen was GM. With all of the rules in the NFL to keep parody amoung teams, you would almost have to TRY to be that bad. Millen...

Two weeks ago Mark Spitz was a "special guest" during half of an inning of the baseball game I was watching. He sat and talked with the play by play and color guys. All I can say is the guy sounded like an incredibly arrogant pr*ck. He didn't hold anything back when it came to complimenting...

No, you're puting words into my mouth. I'm saying it doesn't show a lot of class to publicly root against someone who might break your record. Take a look at the Barry Bonds HR record. IMO Hank Aaron handled that situation with a lot of class.

It's called class. After reading the rest of your post I won't elaborate.

Setting rivalries with my hometown teams aside I would have to say the Detroit Pistons of the 80's. Nooooooooobody liked those guys. ...oh and I too am tired of the '72 Dolphins. The fact that some of those guys were publicly rooting against the Patriots last year was selfish, pitiful and...

IMHO there should be far more Soccer players on the list. For those of us living in the U.S. it's hard to believe but the best athletes in nearly every other country in the world play soccer.

Personally, I enjoy being a fan of my hometown teams no matter if they're lousy or great. I feel like I get more satisfaction when they do well if I've been a fan of them when they were lousy. On a related note, I always shake my head at people who are fans of teams that win absolutely every...

This just in: Fox Sports' Jay Glazier is reporting that Brett Favre's career in Green Bay is over. Apparently both sides left this morning's meeting agreeing that a trade is in order. link

Most of us have jobs that are not bound by a signed contract, that's the difference. I agree, Green Bay does have a right to move on but they must do it within the rules of the NFL.

Futhermore, if you do not wish to fulfill the remainder of that contract then release him!! It happens all the time in the NFL, it's common practice. If a player is a "bust" or does not live up to his salary then he is cut. I'll say it again, if the Packers do not wish to pay his salary...

If that is what the Packers believe then why are they afraid to trade him to an opponent?

IMHO the Packers want to have their cake and eat it too. They don't want Favre to play for another team in the divison...fine, then keep him on the roster and pay him the salary that he is entitled to according to his contract. They don't want him on their own team because they don't have any...

"You're wearing a wire you son of a b*tch!!!"

This site may not have enough bandwidth for a 100M+ page thread.

Not exactly. I guess I'm saying that a rivalry is overrated if it isn't played at an acceptable competitive level of the sport. I agree wholeheartedly with your comment that rivalries are about more than just the sport.

"...generally well-played on the field..." I agree with everything except the above. The game is NOT generall well-played for division 1 football.

Army/Navy I understand all of the hype surrounding it but the game itself is laughable.

Amen!!
