When you lose in the playoffs, that eliminates you from winning the title. So under your dumb logic, WVA, USC, Missouri, Ohio St, and VT should be out and LSU should never have had a chance to be eliminated twice.Bryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15370296920527162060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-21216851725338630492007-11-28T17:43:00.000-05:002007-11-28T17:43:00.000-05:00You can play with fewer than 11.

This isn't a media creation - it is a reflection of the world we live in, where athletes and celebrities are revered. Hundreds of Redskins fans showed up at the park to mourn him last night, and there is a pall over the city. More than one local columnist has compared the reaction around here to when Len Bias died. We always tend to think of 24 year old star athletes in the prime of their careers as invincible.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-55774490339549820452007-11-28T13:46:00.000-05:002007-11-28T13:46:00.000-05:00If the Redskins start with 10 players on the field...If the Redskins start with 10 players on the field, wouldn't they incur a penalty?

I don't know if you guys have paid attention to the "Baby Grace" story about the little girl's body that was found in Texas and it was her loser mom and her new loser husband that did it, but she was from up here. Her grandma is a nurse at the nursing home where my husband's Grandma was and where my co-worker's mom is now. This poor baby didn't have a chance because her mother wouldn't give the grandmother custody. To me, this is a lot more tragic.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11071405721004631626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-50367630069280975042007-11-28T13:26:00.000-05:002007-11-28T13:26:00.000-05:00Sparty, You answer has been accepted.

G...i do not remember the question but here goes... <BR/><BR/>Grew up in Jersey just over the bridge back in the early and mid 80s. Only teams that were relevent in this area were the Islanders, Mets, Giants, and Yanks. My father is a Giants and Yanks fans, so i followed suit with them. He was also a Knick and Ranger fan, but at that time there was nothing really going with them and I guess you could say I had no idea about Hockey and Basketball for the most part. <BR/>Moved outside of Detroit back in 87. Pistons and Red Wings were red hot and MSU just won the Rose Bowl. Wings were on the up with Stevie Y and played the Oilers tough in the Conf Finals, and the Pistons were a bad pass away from beating your Celtics. Of course we know the following year that the Pistons ended the Celtic Dynasty the Bad Boys were only a year away from owning the NBA. At this time the Yanks stunk, but my father taught me that I could not turn away from them just because they sucked and attened MSU, hence Sparty. So 15 years later, I got back to Jersey via Miami and here I am. A Pistons and Red Wing fan in New Jersey. I may be the only one. BTW, hate all florida teams.David Kippehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09873631867494898033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-18255840141761636202007-11-28T12:44:00.000-05:002007-11-28T12:44:00.000-05:00I think the Skins will push forward on emotion and...I think the Skins will push forward on emotion and play well on Sunday. The bigger problem will be next week, when they are unfortunately scheduled to face the Bears on Thursday night. That means they have only 3 days between the games, and it is believed that one of those days - Monday - will be Sean's funeral in Miami, which the whole team and organization will attend.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-76685651910883518762007-11-28T12:35:00.000-05:002007-11-28T12:35:00.000-05:00BTW Sparty, You are the one who sounds defensive. ...BTW Sparty, <BR/>You are the one who sounds defensive. <BR/>Did I proclaim the Celts are title bound?

I have seen quite a few tragic deaths lately. My friend's mother just died at age 54, a coworker's wife just died at 43 leaving behind 4 little girls, another coworker's daughter is in a coma for 4 months now after hitting a tree and I can go on but it is not necessary. All of these people I know were far better people than Sean Taylor. They just weren't as good football players. <BR/><BR/>It is not that I don't think any death including Taylor's is tragic, they obviously are. However it seems ridiculous to me how the media can't let go of events that happen to celebrities or pseudo celebrities.CycleDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08933822029791530613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-88711918750056542312007-11-28T12:07:00.000-05:002007-11-28T12:07:00.000-05:00I am not sure how long a college football team sho...I am not sure how long a college football team should give a coach to turn a team around. Greg Robinson took over Syracuse 3 years ago. He has won 6 games I believe and 3 of those were against Buffalo (who they barely beat this year). Two years before he took over, they won the Big East and went to a bowl game. In Pasqualoni's last year, they were a .500 team. <BR/><BR/>Any coach should probably get 4 years but winning an average of 3 games per season for a team that used to be a regular top 25 team is probably not going to turn it around in his 4th year.CycleDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08933822029791530613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-47000634573442894662007-11-28T11:57:00.000-05:002007-11-28T11:57:00.000-05:00Re: 10 menI liked it better when USC did the XP tr...Re: 10 men<BR/><BR/>I liked it better when USC did the XP try sans kicker earlier this year, and I hate USC.<BR/><BR/>To the guys who are "forced" to watch dancing with the stars: BUY ANOTHER TV FOR YOUR HOUSE.
