their ability to win games with a score typical in a baseaball game
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.

I think he isn't partial to any football team.
If you want direct answer.
I’m a casual Titans fans, but I’m really not all that into football. I don’t even have the game on.

He just always seemed like
a personal favorite of yours because of his “affordability,” yet was never a difference maker or that significant of an addition for this team.

Well
He was a favorite of mine because he’s a very good offensive and defensive player at a position that has been a perennial weakness for the team, particularly in this decade, and isn’t someone who would break the bank.
The idea that he wouldn’t be a difference maker or a significant addition to the team suggests that you are either underrating him, or overrating the collection of junk we’ve run out in CF most of the 21st century.

Do you not think the ND job is a step sown from the Texas job? You want me to answer a stupid question. Answer this one.
What is up your ass tonight? You ask me a question about Stoops. I answer it saying it is not a top 5 job and it isn’t so why would Stoops leave? Would Brown leave for the ND job?

right
because a guy who is in line for the AD job at UT would take the ND job.
There are many reasons Stoops could leave for ND. He’s a midwestern guy. He’s Catholic. He’s tired of OU fans always on his ass. He might be looking for a change. That’s why I asked about Stoops. There’s no reason for Mack to leave.

on a TV tonight. Is Rick Barnes more concerned with winning or playing 11 guys exactly 18:18 minutes? They were joking about how he subs players like a hockey team, but it’s not really a joke. Most guys are playing like 90-120 seconds before getting subbed. And when you’re playing against Iowa that’s maybe 3-4 possessions.

Mario Williams is worthless
All these years of hearing how brilliant the Texans are for passing on VY and taking Williams, it’s all baloney. No matter how good a DL is, even a only potentially interesting (not even good) QB like VY is automatically 10X more valuable imo. Even if he sucks for his entire career, who cares, just the CHANCE he could be something is worth 20X boring Mario Williamses. FACT.

What's wrong with Mario?
He’s just an All-Pro defensive end. I think that warrants a #1, at least until VY becomes, y’know, a consistent game-changing Pro Bowler. He’s already got the game-changing ability, but I dunno…

It’s hard to think you’re going to do a ton offensively with a QB who averages five yards per attempt and completes only a little over 50%, though (just referencing tonight).

Yeah.
If he keeps up this level for the rest of the season, I’d be interested in seeing what he brings next year. If it’s more of the same, you can write him off as another Shaun King or something.

"just referencing tonight"
to be fair, he did have a couple drops, including that bomb to Washington. But, i think he’s near 65% completion %tage since he became starter…
I hope he keeps it up, and he does look a lot different from last year…

Tirico is the best play-by-play guy around.
by Randy Richardson on Nov 24, 2009 12:22 AM CST up reply actions 0 recs
He's really good.
If only because the other big players in that game—Buck, Michaels, Albert—all involve themselves so much. Tirico does a good job and lets the game come to him.

Micheals is pretty good
And Buck isn’t as bad as LSB/AJM say by a long shot…but Albert is just a retard who annoys the shit out of me and brings NOTHING to a broadcast.
Tirico rates an ok.

Well
He doesn’t come across at all that way on TV. Not sure what planet you guys really live on to come up with some of this stuff.
I dont love him btw, he seems kind of weird, but I think he’s kind of, above average.
by Sharky on Nov 24, 2009 7:58 AM CST up reply actions 0 recs
He absolutely comes across as an egomaniac on TV
Just the fact that he has to stand on a box or whatever when they go to the shot of him and troy in the booth makes him an egomaniac. Just look at when he was doing the WS and Brennamen (sp?) filled in — he’s a short dude too and wasn’t standing on a box to be at the same level as troy.
Yes, I know I’m arguing with Sharky. I’m bored at work.

He doesn't stand on a box because he wants to.
Not to defend Joe Buck, because I think he injects too much opinion in his broadcasts, but he stands on a box because he is short.
If he didn’t stand on a box, he would look like a midget next to his color commentator.

So when I heard Brennaman on there I was curious to see what it was like and he was tiny compared to Troy. He was also very good — much better announcer than Buck.

Well
With 5 losses now, and Indy visiting next week (although thats actually the type of game I could see the Texans winning) with a likely 6th, in the competitive AFC, that’s probably about it for the Texans playoff hopes. So it looks like that will be 8 seasons and no playoffs now for the Texans.
Clearly, what the Texans need is a strong owner who wont accept losing like Jerry Jones, or even one like Bud Adams who will make tough decisions such as to start Vince Young for the good of the franchise, if they ever plan to escape their perennial mediocrity.

The great Jimmy Johnson was on mike and mike this morning
About the only interesting thing he had to say about the Cowboys imo, was that the Cowboys dont have a receiver that teams double cover. Teams just single our guys which of course, allows them a lot of other good things on defense.
Another thing that keeps sticking with me is something Colin Cowherd said a few weeks ago. He said the one thing an NFL QB has to be is accurate. And that when Romo throws, he doesn’t know where it’s going.
Our wagon is obviously hitched to Romo this year so I hope that’s not true, but it keeps rearing it’s head in my brain…
by Sharky on Nov 24, 2009 10:02 AM CST reply actions 0 recs
Cowherd is a douche
Did he repeat that same point 7 or 8 times like he normally does?

I have a feeling he
repeated his point a few times, then said “look,” then tried to make a comparison between NFL QB accuracy and the jobs of regular joes and then his job. Then he illustrated how he knows he’s right about it because in the past he knew a, b, and c were going to happen because of the same obvious indicator, and they did.

Owens
I was very worried when they let him go that this would be the result. Even though he wasn’t near the WR he once was he still demanded the double. It allowed Witten and others to roam free. I just didn’t believe in Roy.

They still made the right decision in letting him go...

The schedule
get’s brutal after Thursday. They may be in first now but if they continue to play like they have the past two weeks they won’t be in first for long. The Giants are coming out of their slumber. Watch out.

Even NY on a losing streak is much tougher than Carolina. That game showed alot about Atlanta. It also didn’t help losing Turner early on

The Giants four losses
Are:
@ NO
AZ at home
@ Philly
SD at home
Much like Dallas they had to win ugly this week. I just think they hit a tough patch in the schedule and are ready to rally. Plus they get a struggling (maybe not by then though) Dallas team at home in a week which should be for the division lead. They scare me. Philly looks done.
Combine that with the cowboys playing a pretty brutal December (the most winnable game is @ Washington which is always tough) and I’m very worried about the division. At 7-3 the Cowboys should still make the playoffs.
by bdavison94 on Nov 24, 2009 3:00 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Ill give them the two road losses
but losing at home to two west coats teams is inexcusable. Especially the way they lost to the Chargers letting Rivers dice them up on a 2 minute drill drive and then following it up AFTER THEIR BYE WEEK with that effort against the Falcons and I can’t see them being the sleeping giant thats been awoken that you say they are.
if they were playing great on one side of the ball like the Cowboys are I could see it. But they aren’t. Alot is going to have to click for them to be the team you are saying they are.

I dont think it makes a difference
Obviously Romo and the offense need to get back to what they were, but otherwise, this D is finally starting to show all the potential that they have had. I don’t see how going 2-3 over the last 5 games isnt likely. I mean all of them outside of New Orleans are winnable. Romo always seems to play well in NY and that team isn;t really coming out of their slumber. The Redskins are what they are: a mediocre team at best. San Diego’s good so I’ll call that one a push. And the Eagles at home to end the season? One word: Revenge. I think this group has way too much pride to let the Eagles do what they did to them again. Even New Orleans is possible, esp if NE beats them this week.

Yep
Looking at the last 5 games, outside Wash I dont see one the Cowboys will be clear favorites (more than ~3) in, but I dont really see one we’ll be huge dogs in either. Maybe +7 at NO.
But for whatever reason I feel like we have a significant chance to win that game too, maybe I’m delusional.
Well anyway, it will be nice to play some tough teams. You dont get any credibility by beating patsies. I have a feeling we’ll do better than expected. Take care of Oakland and of course later Wash and we’ll essentially be playing with house money (in that one more win will probably lock up playoffs and 9-7 could still get it done) which makes it all a lot easier.
Ignoring the division route, The 4th place WC team (after NYG, Phil, GB at 6-4) is Atl, they’re 5-5. And we have the tie breaker on Atl, so we esssentially have a 3 game lead on them. So rather than the pack earlier, our potential WC competition is at most 3 teams now. Everybody else in the NFC WC has 6 losses. So I mean if it should come to the WC we look pretty good there.
