Even without Dwight Freeney, their defense is suffocating and they got a tremondous running game. <BR/><BR/>If they meet the Pats in january in Foxborough and the field look teerible... I know all about Brady and Moss, but the Pats are built for Sportscenter highlights while the colts looks more than ever built for January. <BR/><BR/><BR/>On a different note: since appalachian state trounced a michigan team that still finished with 8 wins, I'd like to see a system similar to Pro soccer in Europe, where the 2 last team get downgraded to div-II and the two best teams of div-II get promoted to div-I. <BR/><BR/>App. state could contend with a lot of teams in the bcs divisionL.

A one year commitment is nothing. Now, if it were $10M per for several years, then yeah it would be a bad signing. While he was terrible in Boston, he had a 2.16 ERA in Texas and his Boston stats are inflated by a few terrible outings.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10670674382237405322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-16642306737379865582007-12-10T14:43:00.000-05:002007-12-10T14:43:00.000-05:00As a college football fan, this is a story I think...As a college football fan, this is a story I think you will appreciate. The University of East Carolina is playing in the Aloha Bowl in Hawaii this year. The game is 4300 miles away from the campus and the trip is mad expensive. The school is allotted 20,000 tickets, and only about 300 fans are expected to make the trip. Sooooooooo...........the fans, alumni, students, etc, bought all the tickets and sent them to the troops and their families that are located there. I think that's pretty awesome!David Kippehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09873631867494898033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-49058569916042148952007-12-10T11:06:00.000-05:002007-12-10T11:06:00.000-05:00Ed Reed is definitely my favorite college player t...Ed Reed is definitely my favorite college player to watch aside from Tebow doing it this year. <BR/><BR/>He's like a solo version of the Pats in putting up huge numbers without looking like it's an extreme effort.

Because every time the Pats take on one of the so-called "contenders" of the AFC, they destroy them."<BR/><BR/>It's fun to see Dan find a new bandwagon to jump all over. I believe the Pats beat the Colts by four, in a game that the Colts dominated for the first 45 minutes and could have easily won. An impressive, quality win? Absolutely, Destruction? Hardly.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, without Freeney, I think America's best chance for derailing the Pats juggernaut will come up a little short.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14681805579322961575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-8912689552645802292007-12-10T10:05:00.000-05:002007-12-10T10:05:00.000-05:00Thanks Dan for giving the UD Flyers some props!My ...Thanks Dan for giving the UD Flyers some props!<BR/><BR/>My favorite college player was Rusty Mederis.

Really? They can't self-motivate at this point?</I><BR/><BR/>Interestingly enough, Tom Brady was just on WEEI talking about the motivation thing. He made a good point... after 14 NFL weeks, 85 or so practices, and just mentally draining schedule, it helps to have idiots like Smith talk trash and give them something to get up about. His point was, it is a long season and you need to find ways to keep it going.<BR/><BR/>He went on to point out that it wasn't so much the "guarantee" that pissed them off, but rather that it was a 2nd-year nobody like Smith, who has accomplished nothing in his short career, who was talking smack. Brady said, if it were Parker, or Polomalu or such, he'd have no problem with it because they have accomplished things already.<BR/><BR/>Pretty astute if you ask me.Jingoisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01269679565181077961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-79903350088997950482007-12-10T09:36:00.000-05:002007-12-10T09:36:00.000-05:00Glad to have Vince Young pushing the Browns into t...Glad to have Vince Young pushing the Browns into the playoffs.

Yeah, yeah, I'm a WVU fan but the guy was a complete class act. Not only did he make mind-boggling receptions, but he also acted like he had been there before. No bragging, no showboating, he just flipped the ball to the ref and went back to the sidelines. <BR/><BR/>My favorite WVU player of my lifetime would have to be Amos Zereoue.Tripp Danielshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13595216047294125383noreply@blogger.com
