Sports - 1 October 2007

How are sports important to society? I need some ideas to write a research paper. I know there are definitely negatives to sports, but I need to write about the positives.

I had taken Brees because he was supposed to be only behind Manning, Brady and Palmer.

Fortunately I also took Tony Romo in the middle rounds and he's been arguably the best fantasy QB. So I don't need Brees anymore.

Is Crayton worth picking up? I know I can't expect 184 yds and 2 TD every week.

Go Colorado! With the improbable win streak they had at the end of the season, it would make a great story if they did.

It almost not fair to Brett Favre..... what the media has done. Here's my fave quote from yesterday. I thought I was gonna barf up my nachos.... Ready for this "over the top" quote from Chris Berman on ESPN Sportscenter?

"Cheering for Brett Favre is like cheering for America!"

Good grief!! Pass the Dramamine please! I need to breath into a small paper bag.

Am I the only one who feels this is just not fair to Brett?

That guy has got to go for firing Marty like he did. He did it because he didn't like him personally - to the detriment of the team. What a jerk!

have used anabolic steriods? He admitted to have used "the Cream and the Clear" from BALCO, which are without question designer steroids? Today, most sports broadcasters continue to say it has not been proven. How much more proof does one need?

what happened to alonso? what happened to vettel and webber? were you pulling out your hair like i was when they cut away from kimi and heikie's battle to watch lewis run all alone doing nothing? how the hell did massa and kubica get to such a tight battle at the end and we never saw it till it was all but over ?

us americans might not turn out the best drivers in the world but we sure as hell are seconed to none when it comes to televised sporting events, its time the fia stopped letting the local t.v. stations broadcast the events and hire one major company to travel with the series to send out the global broadcast feeds,

do you agree?

It is that time of the year again. And things could not be
sweeter. Seems like this season may be the best one
ever. So much hype around NCAA football in 2007 !
Can't wait until the Iron Bowl. When Alabama meets
Auburn. Best rivalry in the history of the sport. I am a
big Clemson fan, and Florida Gators are my favorite
team of all time. Go Tebow. Look out world they will
be back with a vengence. Who is your favourite
college football team ?

What is your opinion on there problem this year? I'm a diehard eagles fan and have been since I was just a kid. I have stood by them thick and thin. My persoanl opinion is McNabb is a has been and really needs to be sat out and put Feeley in. Look what happened last year when McNabb was injured and out for the season. Jeff Garcia took over and they started winning every game AND got them to be the NFC EAST Champions!! McNabb needs to go in my mind! What is your opinion Eagle fans??

I'm just curious. Reyes is quick and a great defensive player, but can the comparison really be made? Is Reyes a switch hitter off the field as well? Someone told me they saw him and David Wright stocking up on tissues Sunday night at a 711 in Queens. At first, my friend said it didn't look suspicious until Jose gave David a little fanny tap that finished with a pinch.

I think:

-------W----------------------L
Indians-----------------Yankees
Red Sox---------------Angels
Cubs--------------------D-backs
Phillies-----------------Pads or Rockies (phils beat either team)

I say Cubs and Indians in the WS and Cubs take all!

What are your predictions?

Can San Diego find a way to win? My God! Kansas City stinks this year (unfortunately, b/c I love the Chiefs) and yet they roll in and beat a team that was 14-2 last year!

Firstly, Dwayne Bowe (the Chiefs WR) is the real deal. Second, if KC can give Huard pass protection, they are a legit threat. Yes, L.T. got his rushing yards, but Rivers has gone from super-accurate to inaccurate almost overnight!

On a side note, how about Brett Favre! Congratulations to him. Favre is a class act and a wonderful competitor. It's awesome to see him run around and jump into his teammates arms after his TD passes. He truly would rather win games than set records. He is the last of a dying breed of QB leaders. Luckily, Peyton Manning is taking up the reigns.

I think it was Damon Hill the last UK world Champion. (Someone correct me if I am wrong.) It is nice to know we are good at something anyway, and even if he finishes second in the Championship he has done brilliantly for a rookie.

curious as to when they are announced. i assume it's before the world series since playoff's aren't supposed to have any effect on the voting (as far as i know).

also who do people think will win each award in the AL and NL.

WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT?!?!

USC barely beat Washington.
OU lost to Colorado.
Florida lost to Auburn.
West VA lost to South Florida.
Cal squeaked by Oregon.
Texas was decimated by Kansas State.
Wisconsin squeaked by Michigan State.
Rutgers lost to Maryland.
Clemson lost to GA Tech.
VA Tech barely beat UNC.
Alabama lost to Florida State.

Was this past weekend the most topsy turvy weekend in college football in recent memory? Also think of this:

When is the last time you could say that South Florida, Kentucky, South Carolina, Hawaii, and Cincinnati are in the Top 25 *while* Florida State, Miami (FL), Auburn, Texas A&M, and Michigan are not?!?!

Okay let's start by giving the AP & USA Today's coaches polls a big thumbs down! The 1st 5 are pretty much the same with 1 & 2 flip flopping, which should quiet the LSU fans, as they got the #1 spot in the AP poll. I don't have any problems with that, as 1 & 2 are pretty close and in the following weeks to come will show us all who actually deserves that spot and until then they both should be looked at as #1.
Okay here's where my problem with the polls that are made up by the blind and dumb comes in.
UF loses to a 2 loss team at home and they only fall 3 spots in the coaches poll? Where they are ahead of a South Florida team that was a 16th ranked(I think) team that beat the #5 team? South Carolina who I think is WAY overranked anyway, but they are 11 in the AP and 18 in the coaches poll. How can that be possible? It just shows the irrelevant of the polls. Anyway, UF will play Kentucky, Georgia, and South Carolina, who are all overranked, but they all play each other so.....

Congrats, you're 4-0....but do you realize that the combined records of the teams that you've beat is 3-13 ???

Just so you know...here are a few facts about the Cowboys...

1. They are in the worst division in football.

2. Tony Romo wouldn't even start for 80% of the teams in the AFC

3. T.O. is mediocre at best

4. IF the cowboys make the playoffs, they won't make it out of the first round.


Thats all...
