If the Texans were really smart they'd trade the #1 pick and fill in a few key spots on the offensive and defensive lines. But those guys only win ball games, they don't make great press and put people in the seats.

Good thinking. He'd be a better acquisition for them then Bush...especially as we all know how well Texas Bush's perform under pressure! But I do like Carr, anyone sacked that much, you gotta have some love for.

I thought it was great game, but maybe it's because I wasn't really rooting for either team. Best bowl game I saw this year!

I hope no one thinks I don't like Carr, I do like him, but as Toby mentioned he has no Off Line and he can not run for his life like Young can, and trading the #1 pick will not get you enough linemen when you need so many, so IMHO, get Young, trade Carr for a solid Off Linemen, and trade some later picks for another linemen. There are a lot of teams who need QB’s.

If the Texans do take Young and they draft anything BUT an Off line after him, they need to fold up and move to LA.

1st bet I won since I got to Vegas |tumb

Shawn Alexander is NFL MVP
 

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2281472

Alexander 19
Manning 13
Brady 10
Tiki 6
Palmer 2

Honestly thought it would be a tie with Tiki and Shawn, and MAYBE a three way with Manning.

Tiki seems to be one of those guys that gets overlooked for whatever reason, but that dude can “tote the rock like nobodies bitness” and almost never fumbles.

Now.... the last few years he was terrible (not as bad as Green), if you watch him he is carrying the ball a completely new way over last year, the ball is now against the bottom of his shoulder pads/chest area and when he is in traffic he grabs his wrist.

Last year he held it at his waist and used one arm in traffic where he had fumble after fumble.

But yeah I agree, Tiki deserved better this year.

BTW, Greeny, don't you think this needs to be renamed to 'larjon"?

now my FEELINGS ARE hurt:((

anyway I officially stand here eating crow and bleeding rectally as my trojans lost their crown to the Longhorns. No excuses. No shoulda woulda coulda. SC did not have an answer on how to stop Vince Young and when it was 4th and 5 and vince has the ball on the 12 yard line, even I knew what was about to happen.

PS: Green guy did ok at the seminar. I learned from one of his peers on the panel that if you want alot of traffic that you need to submit to all the link lists, as many as you can, do your se pages for all the search engines and also buy traffic.

WOW, glad I had a pen handy........

And this has what to do with Sports?

Keep on the sports topic here.

Canadian World Juniors Are Champs...Again!
 

Congrats to Team Canada on winning in decisive fashion over the heavily favored Russians! |thumb

Hey pornrex. Torn just said to keep on the topic of sports! |bananna| |jester|


Thank you, thank you... I'll be here all week


Really... Congrats to Canada.

You got a point, Trev. Disappointed in Team USA though.|cry|

Let’s hear your Super Bowl predictions
 

Last year I called the Pats over the Eagles in a close game in August which was the first time I was ever right in a preseason pick, this year I called Colts over the Falcons so my streak didn’t last too long.|huh

So let’s see who can predict the Super Bowl winner.

I say the Colts will win it over Seahawks, I think Carolina and the Bears have a great shot, but I really think the NFC is wide open, the AFC is between the Colts and Pats, but I think the Colts will pull it out this time.

I got Colts over Seahawks as well.

What about a darkhorse pick? If I had to pick one I would say Denver. No real reason why, just a gut feeling.

Darkhorse?

Pats.


if you can call them that lol.

See my avatar :D

Although offense wins you games, defense wins ya championships. Based on this old addage, you can't not pick the Bears or the 'Skins.

In all seriousness though, its still too early to make predictions. Denver and Seattle have been playing well. The Colts have faltered in recent weeks and New England has looked less than stellar. If I had to make a choice right now, I'd still pick Pittsburgh, even though they just snuck in , they've still won 4 in a row.

I'm a huge steelers fan. I'll be wearing my Greg Lloyd jersey while watching the games...but even I'm not giving them much of a chance to get to the big game.

In my experience, they'll get far enough to send Cowher to the pro-bowl. This comes from years of dissappointment btw. :(

But I still got my fingers crossed...

lol. . . Pats are too good to be considered a darkhorse IMHO.

Pornrex makes a good point about defense especially when it comes to “da Bears”.

Grossman is a capable enough quarterback to pull it off like Dilfer did with that Raven's D.

Bears' Lovie Smith wins Coach of the Year
 

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2283709

"...Smith drew 24½ votes from a nationwide panel of 50 sports writers and broadcasters who cover the NFL. Dungy was next with 20½."

Thought Tony had a locke on this for sure this year.

Tony's problem was that, the Colts were already a good team. In fact I'm surprised it was that close. The coach of the formally, really sucky team usually has a big advantage.

Ta-ta Bengals - don't let the turf hit ya on the way out! |jester|

Next Up: The colts. Should be a dandy. Go Steelers!|thumb

Steelers looked “loaded for bear” against Cincinnati.

A real shame that Palmer got hurt, prolly would have made the game more interesting if he was able to play.

Giants forgot to get off the bus.

Marcus Vick charged for brandishing firearm
 

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/200....ap/index.html

Why is it when I see his name I think Lawrence Phillips?

I'd love to see the Steelers beat the Colts.
Part of me would love to see a rematch between my Pats and them, but I'd much rather see the AFC championship game up in nippy ;) Foxboro :)

So now the question is “ why did Marcus Vick take a gun to a job interview”? :D

Wow....

Champ let up on the run and almost topped Leon Lett's return. I think if they had cameras in the end zone that would have been NE ball.

Yup 3 bad calls leading to at least 2 Denver TDs, but that was an amazing run on the interceptions cept for the last 5 yds.

Oh well, the Pats realy moved the ball 2cnd half, but hard to win wit 5 turnovers ;)

I'm stunned...|ohhhhh|

Pitt is dominating; this should be 100-3 right now, another wasted year.|banghead|

Did someone forget to tell the broncos that there was a game today? None of them appear to have shown up. The best start ever goes down the toilet soundly.

Alex

Alex you may want to edit that to "the colts" while you still have time. (or before Torn sees it and gives you hell :D )

Its a real fucking shame that the Video Officials of the NFL are fucking pieces of shit and that they have to show their bias towards the colts - just GIVE the game to the Colts.

Dude, you CAN'T let the QB tackle you on that!!! Jesus H Christ on a crutch!

I was being insulting... they were playing like, well... out of towners!

However, someone put something in their drink bottles at half time, cuz it's getting wild now with 21 seconds left.

I can't figure out why the steelers didn't just take a knee for 4 plays and take the game, rather than trying so damn hard to get into the end zone?

Alex

wow... what a final 2 mins

Denver and Pittsburgh next week. What's a life long Browns fan supposed to do?

Fucking Bettis almost gave me a stroke.

Bring On That Other Horse team.:D

I'm even more stunned then I was when I made the first post.

Bettis fumbles.

Vanderjadt misses.

that never happens let alone in the same game.

Never say Never. |loony|

Cheer for the Steelers - that's what Browns fans are supposed to do. :D

Now you're going to far! That seals the deal... I'm pulling for Denver *gag* |angry| |club| |pissleft| |2up |sandm |fuckyou| |raygun| |bigfuckin |usuck| |slice


I have to many relatives in the pittsburgh area to have them go to the Superbowl, I'll never hear the end of it... again...
