If you guys get a chance - watch on You Tube the crazy ending of the TCU -Texas Tech game. It was wild!!!!
[www.youtube.com]
I saw it live on tv. That would've been cool if they had pulled it off! Getting my game face on for this afternoon. Going to get breakfast at my fave breakfast spot & then heading to the beach to catch a water taxi across the bay (much like Sydney Australia). Much cheaper than driving downtown & paying for parking. Not to mention post game traffic jam. Being as this is the first home game of the season, lots of stuff going on pregame. The Hawks have a set up in the convention center next to the stadium where they have a huge wall where you can watch early games, etc. Game time temp low 60's & sunny. In other words, perfect football weather.
I'm getting excited. GO HAWKS!!!!!!!!!

Tickets still left for Hawks game on Ticketbastard. They have made them so expensive ($200 upper deck, not scalped!), people are hesitating. I may give the Hawks office a call & see if they have a less expensive ADA seat for the game. I got my 2 games later in the season for semi realistic money. GO HAWKS!
They gotta find a way to pay Tim Tebow, er, I mean Russell Wilson...
Pale Tim Tebow with 2 Super Bowl appearances in 3 years. & 1 win. I'll put up with a little of that for the results. I will say this, Russell walks the walk. Since he has come to Seattle, he has visited Children's Hospital every week he is in town at least once. He is doing good work with the sick little kids. That can't be easy.
The dude is full of himself. OK so good, he's doing good work with the sick little kids. A lot of people do that.
What was the deal with Marshawn Lynch running nowhere? That was absurd. Too much hype. Beast mode? More like marshmallow mode.
Has Jimmy Graham blocked anyone yet?
So much anger! Maybe try a switch to decaf?

Here's to the Jets going 3-0.
Also, are the Manning brothers back?
i think the jets might make it to 5-0 before dropping a game to the pats

Nah. Philly 17 NYJ 0 so far.
Was wondering when Philly would wake up.
Somehow the Saints are hanging in quite well against Carolina and are leading 10-7 right before the half.

A star is born: Thomas Rawls. Another undrafted gem found by the Hawks. More later, have to head to the mines. Bleh!

The Patriots are on a rampage. The last time the NFL tried to bring the hammer down on them, they almost had an undefeated season.
I see the same laser-like focus so far this year.
Yeah, yeah...I know. Belichick is the Antichrist.Quote

I haven't seen any evidence that the Patriots are going to "get it"...no matter what happens for the rest of the Brady/Belichick era, they're both going to go down as all-time greats.
I very well understand that, but that doesn't change the stats, the gaudy winning %, or the Superbowl rings. So again, I don't see how they're gonna "get it in the end".Quote

Only in New England. The rest of the country thinks they are cheats. And they are.

It'd be nice if Brady/Belichick both retired the same year, a nice clean "end of an era" sendoff.Quote

It'll never happen, but it'd be refreshing if it did.
It just seems like athletes never know when to leave on a high note. Look at Brett Favre.Quote

John Elway had a storybook farewell (retired after two straight Superbowls), but that seems to be the exception rather than the rule.

NHL defenceman Ray Bourque retired after winning the Stanley Cup. He left Boston after 20 seasons because they sucked and two seasons later with the Colorado Avalanche won the Cup and he called it quits.
Ah yes, that is a GREAT story. Michael Strahan is another who comes to mind (retired after winning the Super Bowl with the Giants in 2008).Quote

I still kick myself for not buying a Ray Bourque jersey that was half Col/half Bos. I remember seeing them at the time and should have bought one when I had the chance. LOVED the fact that for his day with the Cup, Bourque brought it to Boston to share with his Boston fans.

No matter if Brees may be out for one game, half the season or the rest of the season, the New Orleans Saints will be lucky to finish 5-11 at this point. Holy crap.
GET OUT THE BAGS!

Seeing as "Big Ben" went down yesterday and I'm going to be forced to depend on Michael Vick as a QB for the next 4-6-8 weeks, I'm afraid that I'm going to have to get on the Pat's bandwagon even sooner than I have in the past few years. GO STEELERS!!!

Luckily, I'm here for an intervention, Mr DJA. No need to be wondering about jumping ship just to follow some other team's bandwagon. There are RS songs out there that can help you remain steadfast in your Steeler fandom (D&G is not one of them), and sticking with the Steelers during Ben's recovery will build character, tenacity and patience.
This first game against the Ravens Thursday will be with Vick only getting two days of snaps practice with the first offense. And Vick has only been with the team a few weeks. The Steelers are going to have to adapt some of their plays to Vick's style, but we may not see a lot of that until week 5. We've got Bell back, Bryant comes back week 5, Pouncey returns mid-season. Vick can be turnover-prone, but I won't judge him until next week's game when he's actually had more than 2 practices' worth of work with the starting offense, I expect you to remain strong and steadfast with the team through Ben's return. Go Stillerz!
