I stand by my statement late in yesterday's comments that Matt Ryan should have negative Heisman votes at this point. <BR/>< 45% passing, and 5 or 6 easy picks, and you're crowning this clown because Virginia Tech can't chase or tackle a quarterback in the last 40 seconds?<BR/><BR/>Fine.

To get a lot of jobs people have to make sacrifices and this is just one. If you don't like it get another job. <BR/><BR/>I wear a suit to work every day. I would much rather wear jeans, but I can't. The same is true of gambling and the NBA.

I still maintain that while Tebow is a more talented college football player, no one means more to his team's success than Matt Ryan. So if you view the Heisman as most valuable player and not most talented player (for a 2-loss team), then Matt Ryan should win the Heisman. Also, there's no way Tebow could've made that drive. <BR/><BR/>3. No way in hell that V-Tech TD should've counted. He clearly bobbled/adjusted the possession after he was out of bounds. Fortunately it didn't matter for BC, but yikes. <BR/><BR/>4. Colorado could have the advantage in games 3 and 4, but they definitely blew it last night, or more accurately, Okajima came up ridiculously huge, and Matt Holliday drifted way beyond the acceptable TBS stealing line I'm sure. Huge advantage Red Sox, but teams have come back from 2-0, and the 2-3-2 format of the playoffs definitely helps the Rockies' chances of making a comeback. <BR/><BR/>5. It would've been totally hypocritical for Stern to have the summer Rookie league and the All Star game in Vegas, then say, you can't gamble in Casinos.ToddTheJackasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333015679479284215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-74879143865305447592007-10-26T11:50:00.000-04:002007-10-26T11:50:00.000-04:00In florida it is something like if you aren't more...In florida it is something like if you aren't more than five years older than them and they give consent it isn't statutory because they put a guy in jail who was 19 for knocking up his 16 yo wife.
