    NBA 2007-08 Season

    Funny! Yeah, in Detroit he was a perfect fit. I was kind of sad to see Detroit did not re-up him for another year. He could have played off the bench.

    He's a warrior. I give him that.

    On a team that deep? It is tough.

    NBA 2007-08 Season

    Well so far the Pistons and Boston are proving to be the two teams at this point of the season that should match up for the Eastern Finals. Its the same story in the west as it has been for the last five years. Dallas, San Antonio and Phoenix. The Pistons to me are the best team in the...

    Manning, Favre, Brady and Romo ?

    Agreed. To many sports writers hype up a young athlete, or a rookie with out any basis for the argument. Give Romo four more years of improving on what he has done this year and I will consider him a Farve type of QB. But we need consistency and improvement first. Its the same think with...

    Steelers season over.

    I am still not sold on Tomlin. In every game they lost this year, when asked about what adjustments they tried to make to comeback and win, he always says the same thing. "We are professionals. We do not make adjustments during a game, or at halftime. If we are professionals and do our jobs...

    NFL 2007-08 Season

    Go Steelers! I have been saying it all year, and I will say it again though. I still am not sold on Tomlin. Why would not even start Big Ben? I think they will be able to take Jacksonville this Saturday, but to beat Indy or New England will not happen. They have been to banged up with...

    NFL 2007-08 Season

    I love Kitna's quote... "You can keep changing coaches, but every time you change them that's a new system,'' said quarterback Jon Kitna. "The reality is, the games that we lost, the majority, the times that things didn't go right, it was self-inflicted stuff." That right there proves what I...

    NFL 2007-08 Season

    I agree that the "Lions Funk" does not encompass every one. But look at the team Speilman was on. They were a winning team then... although not a playoff team, they won none the less. Speilman was a winner, and his attitude and play reflected such. My favorite was Stephen Boyd before he...

    NFL 2007-08 Season

    It is never a different Lions team when you hear what the announcers were saying in yesterday's game. It is something all Lions fans are familiar with, year after year. The phrase goes something like this: "They need to find something positive to hang their hat on for next season. A win, a...

    Michigan hires rich rodriquez

    ESPN has become somewhat of a monopoly in the sports reporting/broadcasting field. They need some good competition. Unfortunately FOX, or anyone else feels it is worth it. Its sort of like CNN. For a decade they had the crown of "News leader" and they got such big heads about it, they...

    NFL 2007-08 Season

    I am not calling him anything yet. Hence why I did not mention his name. He definitely is not producing as much as he should, but it is his rookie year. If you do want to get technical, I would dare say he is not on pace. Now that Roy is out, he has plenty of opportunity, but he has dropped...

    NFL 2007-08 Season

    Fire Millen! Should have been done four years ago. The only draft picks that have worked out from the Millen error, (Ooops, I mean era), is Ernie Sims. Roy Williams could have been good had he been on the right team. But too many Rookie's get drafted to the Lions and never get a taste of a...

    NFL 2007-08 Season

    You know what? I have been saying since week 7 that the only team I believe that is capable of stopping New England is Pittsburgh. Yesterday in the 1st quarter of that game, I was thinking to myself that Pittsburgh may not want to win that game. If they put all their heart, soul and talent...

    This weeks predictions (NFL week 14)

    The only one I even care about is the Steelers/New England game. Steelers 16 - Patriots 12. Go Steelers!

    NBA 2007-08 Season

    Pistons are starting to take names! Their starting line up is good enough to beat any team on any given night, but so is their bench. With Jarvis Hayes, Jason Maxiell, Flip Murray, and Lindsay Hunter's defense coming off of the bench, they rest the starters early and often, giving the...

    2007 Big Ten versus SEC Thread

    I agree that the offense has done well for it self under the circumstances they came into the year with. It is just simply not going to be enough though.

    Tigers get Willis and Cabrera

    It will be bitter sweet if Maybin turns out to be as good as he is on track to be. I hate parting with him. I am all about the future, and the future looked great for the Tigers. Now it looks good for the next two years, then issues will have to be addressed in the outfield when Mags'...

    2007 Big Ten versus SEC Thread

    I agree. Lloyd Carr has a horrible bowl record, and Michigan seems to under perform in recent years in Bowl games. I personally believe Ohio State is over rated... especially on offense. They have a great defense, but their offense could not put up enough points to over come Illinois...

    No excuses on offense next year!

    NBA 2007-08 Season

    Yep. A deep bench will keep fresh legs and more fouls to give against a team like Boston without a bench. And keep in mind. I don't believe Boston has played a team with a Bench yet, as there is literally only two teams in the league on any given year where their Bench can give them 20 or...

    Redskins' Sean Taylor Dies...

    Hey.... I am sorry for personally insulting you. That is uncalled for, and something I do not like to do. Some times you get in the heat of the moment. Please forgive me. Anyway... we all put too much passion into these posts as if we are going to change another's mind. I think some people...

    Redskins' Sean Taylor Dies...

    Your shallow thinking and comprehension cannot understand that what you were reading from me is that his choices led to himself having enemies and ultimately his death... No one deserves to be murdered. I for one believe in redemption. I believe from all accounts that Taylor was living a...
