American Football (NFL, College, etc.)

Off day for Peyton: only three TD passes in a 51-24 rout of the Titans.... That's 44 total.


Raiders lose to the Chiefs, 34-27 on a 70-yard TD pass from Trent Green to Eddie Kennison.... BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....


Packers get routed, 47-17, by the Eagles in Philly...

I'd like to see that list. :)

So what? At least they gave a descent effort today. Hurry up and get off the wagon and pick a team so I can start ragging on you :P :hehe: :hehe:

You mean get on the wagon.

There's nothing more satisfying than seeing the Outcasts, Lambs, and Plowboys lose... :hehe:

I like the underdog-ness of the Chargers... I don't expect them to go to the Super Bowl, but it's nice to see them win some games.

Steeler have been struggling offensively the last two games... Have defenses figured out Rothleisberger (sp?)?

Haw haw: Falcons eat a bagel against the Bucs, 27-0.... That also brings a smile... :D

Man, oh man.

I don't like hearing the rumors that start flying around this time of year... mostly because they almost never turn out to be true.

But...

Apparently Steve Young was on ESPN this morning, saying that according to his inside sources (does he actually have any inside sources left in the Bay Area?) Erickson is on his way out. The Niners will let him finish out the season, but once it's over, they'll show him the door.

THANK YOU SANTA!!!

After the game Ronnie Lott did the local post game on TV and he was waxing on about the possibility of bringing Tyrone Willingham in as the Niners new H.C.

Not a bad choice, as far as I'm concerned. Willingham got his pro start with the Niners in Walsh's outreach program. Worked for Denny Green with the Viks for a bunch of years. And then had a fairly successful 8 years as Stanford's HC.

The only doubts about him come up when you look at how inconsistant his Notre Dame teams have been.

Man, I hate this. I'm letting myself get carried away by a couple of rumors. But heck, I'm a Niner fan. What else have I got to hold onto?

Never mind BMW, you probably didn't understand what I was saying anyways. Basically it's sort of like instead of trying to laugh at every single team, look at your own but apparently you don't have one nor do you want one. Although it'd be kind of nice to at least have the common courtesy to get the names of the teams right. It sort of shows the level of what kind of fan you are when you do that but it's totally your prerogative.

wassup, The Man! yeah, well, no need to incite a lot of controversy on this board. i'm just saying that although i'm not really a chang supporter, i am a big-time uh fan. i'm also willing to admit that timmy was very instrumental in our wins over nw and msu. i just wished he played more like that in previous games.

i'll say this: much of the factors on my list are not 'on-the-field' stuff. so, since it's just a personal opinion, i'll see how he does.

i was at several of the byu games (and especially the one where we dropped 70+ pts on them). did you know that a few days after the game, espn was already replaying it on their 'classics' channel. yes, an instant classic!

hey, good luck the the wahines! i know they'll make us proud. :woot:

Ouch.

Sorry, Elt. You know I'm just kiddin' around.... :sweat:

Oh, yes, Rainbow Wahine. Can't say it enough. I honestly think a book should be written about that particular team (not IF they win the National Championship, but, like, based on their accomplishments thus far).

And, hahah, jholic -- I guess I was being a bit facetious; I pretty much have an idea what your "list" is and (no offense), it probably consists of points I've undoubtedly heard elsewhere before.

K-den, CHRISTMAS EVE BOWL!!!! EO! EO! EO!

this sunday in my ff league was pretty funny. the guy who had peyton LOST to the guy who had donovan mcnabb (5 td's). i thought it was just such poetic justice to have the manning guy PEYTON'd by another qb! :mrgreen:

hey, how about that monday night game? i know i'm gonna get some ribbing for my cowboys, but i had to admit that julius jones looks quite good. it was an ugly win, but a win nonetheless. they found a lead, lost it, found it, lost it, but found a way to win. congrats to bill, but i sure wish he'd just lose so we get a higher draft pick!!

undoubtedly. although if you knew me well, you'd know that i'm not quick to draw conclusions based on other people's perceptions. my opinion of chang is pretty much my own (though it coincidentally seems to be shared with all of my friends who keeps hearing my banter).

well, enough of that. i still hope the warriors (and even chang) do well in the hawaii bowl. gotta represent, man!

and what's up w/ that freakin' ncaa snubbing our #1 wahine team???! :angry:

Bills turning Jones into the next Ricky Williams...handing him the ball 30-40x a game.

I have to admit I was one of those people who didn't think they'd be able to beat MSU and they proved me wrong! Kudos to the team for showing a lot of heart!

Don't tell me the fairweather fans out there are talking about replacing June Jones again! I don't understand why anyone would want to replace any of the coaches right now!

Drives me absolutely nuts when people start talking about wanting to replace basketball coach Riley Wallace. THEY didn't have to sit through all those games when all the basketball team did was lose!! I wish they'd get their heads examined!! :angry:

Good thing my friend who is tied with me in record but I have like a 200 pt tie breaker over him, has Mcnabb but we didn't play each other this week. I would have lost if we did. But then Mcnabb's TDs didn't help the tie breaker much since I had Westbrook :hehe: :hehe:

So who'll turn out to have the better career?

Julius Jones at Dallas?

Or Kevin Jones in Detroit.

Both Mooch and the Tuna do love the running game. And it looks like their rookies are starting to blossum.

I'm picking Julius since I feel Dallas' O-line is better. That and I haven't really seen Kevin Jones play aside from that Indy masacre on Thanksgiving day :hehe:

ARGHHHHH.....Chose Arizona def (4 pts) over Tampa Bay (25 pts), Drew Brees (0 pts) over Trent Green (22 pts) AND Matt Hasselbeck (28 pts) and I lost by 13 points...that's my 5th consecutive loss in fantasy football because the doofus priest holmes got injured so i had to experiment on all these crappy backs until i got julius jones....

on a side note...York the Dork... very nice.

Ouch tough lost huh, I had tampa benched in one league in favor of minnesota def but they actually did descent against the bears :hehe:

a great point, Rinrin! i believe june could use some improvement in his coaching style and playcalling. i also believe he stands to benefit tremendously from an full-time offensive cood. but i CANNOT believe people would ask for his ouster. were they here when von-appalling was here?? for the money we're dishing out, i'd much rather lose 45-35 and PASS then go back to the dreaded triple-option again! :bleh:

i used to have my doubts about riley, but after i've seen some of his personal interviews and his coaching style, i have to admit that he tries hard, and he does well w/ the talent he's given. after all, how many people view hawaii as a bball powerhouse???

shoji and wilton? well....
