Sports - 29 October 2007

So this season the Devils have changed their style of play from a tight defensive game to a wide open offensive game which really isn't working for them. Now with the change of system Martin Brodeur has been letting in a lot of goals and doesn't look like Brodeur of previous seasons. Do you think that the change of playing styles has exposed Brodeur as an average goalie who just had a really good defensive corps in front of him all these years? The reason I mentioned this is because the year after the Devils won their 1st Stanley Cup they changed from a defensive style game to an offensive style game and ended up missing the play-offs and Brodeur had his worst season. So in the end will this affect his legacy as one of the leagues best goalies?

The Patriots destroyed the Redskins 52-7 today, and as you might expect with a final score like that, there are some folks saying the Patriots ran up the score.

One of those folks is Redskins linebacker Randall Godfrey. According to Tom Curran of NBC Sports, Godfrey expressed extreme displeasure to Patriots coach Bill Belichick after the game.
"I said something to (Belichick) after the game," Godfrey said to NBCSports.com. "I told him, 'You need to show some respect for the game.' You just don't do that. I don't care how bad it is. You're up 35 points and you're still throwing deep? That's no respect....

"You look at all the great head coaches ... I'm just disappointed," he said. "You gotta show some class, show some respect. Joe Gibbs? We wouldn't have done that. Bill Walsh? You wouldn't see those types of guys doing that stuff. I've never seen nothing like that. Most teams, you get up like that you sit on the ball and try to run the time out. They're up 30-some points and they're throwing deep. That was blatant disrespect. I hope we can see them again, definitely. You don't see Joe Gibbs doing that. You can't even imagine that kind of stuff coming from him. Joe Gibbs. Bill Walsh. Bill Parcells. This isn't like college going for power rankings. This is the pros you show some respect, show some class."

In my view, the reason Belichick should have called off the dogs earlier has less to do with sportsmanship than with long-term strategy. Is it really worth risking an injury to key players to keep them on the field when leading by more than 30 points? I shudder to think of the outcry if Tom Brady tears an Achilles dropping back to pass with the Patriots up big late in a game, but that's always a possibility.

If you look at my previous questions, you would see I was annoyed by the weird background noises (very kazoo-like). The sports announcers did pretty good but something was seriously lacking...can't quite place my thumb on it. I think they should do simutaneous camera angles for the pitching and hitting. Just wasn't very satisfied with the overall Fox broadcast...

1)why did the commissioner send two american teams to play in London? 2) even though it was considered a home game for miami, wasnt it still a disadvantage to be in a foreign stadium? 3) it's called the NFL - National Football League...are we going to have to change the name now to the IFL - International Football League and start allowing foreign countries to form teams and play? what did i miss? this is what is going wrong with football....its really getting to where its not fun anymore....if other countries start playing, mark my words it will get very very political....i say it wasn't broke so what's the commish trying to fix?....leave it here, leave it alone and let the boys play like they have since the league started

I was recently exchanging e-mails with a someone and we were arguing about Tom Brady. He couldn't come up with something substantial to actually really not like the guy about... so he took a personal shot at the guy calling him "irresponsible" and "a bad father"... he then proceeded to block me so that I wouldn't be able to give him any possible facts that might prove that case wrong. Well... here it is, Tom Brady was there for the birth of his child, he personally asked for time to be there for that... he is in constant contact with the mother checking in and has worked out a custody agreement so that the child can spend the offseason with Brady when he isn't busy with football. Brett Favre has done the same thing with his kids for years, just he's married... do you think he is a bad father? If anyone has anything to say to this guy who said this about Brady his name is "bjeff72". Careful though... he's a testy one... and he might block you.

i think the giants because they need someone to put fans in the seats without bonds. the giants are one of the most boring teams with bonds, imagine without him. uhhgg

also where do you think bonds will go?
what if only bad teams like kansas city want him?
would he go play for a team with no shot at a title?

I do. I understand that they are trying to expand their market but i just dont agree with playing a regular season game in another country. The NFL is an American league and should be played in America. There are already european leagues.All the fans in other countries are more than welcome to come here to watch if they want.
This is how it starts. The next thing you know we will be watching a superbowl being played Japan.
If I was a season ticket holder for the Giants or miami I would be pissed.

But, what do you think Jr's chances are of finishing a race this season?

I am just looking at the next 3 races, hoping Jr will win, but at this point, I would just like to see him finish at least one race out of the next 3. I know, next year is gonna be a whole different story, and we will be counting the wins. For now, what do you think about the next 3 races?

Go Jr.>>>>

..likely the Pats wont score over 10 in their loss to the Colts. All their wins were against very weak teams where as the Colts seem to dominate good teams even on the road. Brady will experiance real pressure for the first time when Freeny is crashing down on him.

Here's a guy who did squat since coming over at the deadline. Everytime he was out there he got smoked (did he even pitch in the post season?) and rode the pine all the way to a title. I think his only contribution was keeping the beat on the bullpen ceiling. Do you known of a bigger mid-season trade bust to get a free ride to a championship?
