Wyldnwoody44 Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 That was an entertaining SEC title game, although Georgia woulda Prolly won if they had any clock management skills at the end of the game. Bama ND it is, can't wait til jan 7th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksabre Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 Seriously disappointed that Georgia lost. At least I was at Crashed Ice instead! What an awesome event. Niagara Falls and Red Bull really know how to put on a show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bama ND it is, can't wait til jan 7th Both teams did a horrible job with clock management. Alabama settle for a field go at the end of the half sitting on two timeouts. They could have/should have ran a couple of more plays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunomatic Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 (edited) Kind of surprised there's no mention of the K.C. situation this weekend with the murder suicide. I thought it was very strange the way they made the game sort of into a memorial for the killer. This guy murdered the mother of his child by filling her full of bullets then orphaned said child. LOSER. That game shouldn't have been played out of respect to the victim of this crime. Its hard to feel sorry for him.

I think the moment of silence before the game was for victims of domestic violence and not for murderous/suicidal football players. I may be wrong, but I don't think I am. They played the game, and they were smart to do so. They didn't glorify or excuse or exonerate or, actually, even acknowledge, Belcher's actions, other than the moment of silence. What better way to fade into ignominy? If they hadn't played the game, it would have been, in some way, acknowledging their former teammate. I'm glad they played.

Really when you look at it they're damned if they do and damned if they don't. It just pisses me off I guess. Senseless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleven Posted December 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 I've got to say that as much as I really don't like what ESPN has become, wow, the fact that it allowed this on its website is pretty cool. It sums up what most of us already know, but still: http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/8720945/the-nfl-mixed-messages-health-safety Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunomatic Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 I know less than nothing about the Korean pitcher, but that Greinke contract is patently absurd. Dodgers sign who and who for how much ? Meanwhile over on the other thread people complain how much hockey players make relative to their skill set and ask what makes them so special. I've never heard of either of these guys but I'll admit I don't watch much ball.I also realize you can't compare pro hockey to the other big 3 but Jesus that kind of money is insane.

You can be the best mime in the world. A better mime than Brad Pitt is an actor. And guess what? He'll make more. His medium is more popular. This instant that hockey players realize that their market is 7 Canadian cities (4 of which actually matter on the global scale, and one of those, only because it's the nominal capital of the country) and 4 American cities (two of which matter--NYC and Filly--and two of which don't--Buffalo and Detroit), this gets done. Because Chicago, Boston, Washington, LA, name your densely-populated US city here, they really don't care at all, when it comes down to it.

Sabres Fan in NS Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Bump ... The Blue Jays are going all-in in their efforts to *buy* a championship, or at least to complete with the Yanks and Sox. http://www.cbc.ca/sports/baseball/mlb/story/2012/12/17/sp-mlb-ra-dickey-toronto-blue-jays-new-york-mets-josh-thole-travis-darnaud.html Wow, just wow.

Oh, pretty please with sugar on top and I have flowers in my pocket and a coupon for Wendys in the other. You pounced on that dangily dangle pretty quickly.
