Football (American) - November 2007

I'm a huge Pack fan and love Brett Favre, so wondering if anyone else see's this like I do.
I think Brett commands a huge deal of respect from the other players of other teams. He rarely gets hammered. He gets hit and brought down, but they don't seem to smear him like they do some QB's. I think they enjoy playing around the man; talking smack like he and Warren Sapp did in the past. Whats your thoughts?

overshadowed by cheating? I'm so glad I'm not a Pats fan. I would hate to stand by a team that was PROVEN to cheat.

It also seems to me that Patriot fans are looking for validity in backing a team that is labeled as cheaters.

Use only teams that are in contention.

So this past weekend, my uncles state high school field goal record was "beaten" by a kicker whose team used a little-known rule: the free kick.

What this does is allow the receiving team of a punt to call a fair catch, then the place kicker is allowed to set the ball on a tee, and attempt a "field goal" from the yard marker where the ball was caught. There is no defense, and there is no place holder (its sets atop a tee).

My question is this: Should this new record have an asterisk by it, or should it be in a separate category all together? It seems to me that this situation is entirely different and wholy not comparable to a real field goal, where the kicker must deal with a rushing defense and a holder who may place the ball incorrectly.

What say you?

I honestly think that the Steelers are going to beat the Patriots by atleast a touchdown. What do you think. I think that Ben Roethlisberger is alot better quarterback then Tom Brady strength wise...

has the balance started shifting in favor of the NFC once again.

its clear that the two best teams are in the AFC. but the rest in that conference seem weak, not counting the Steelers.

in the NFC you got 4 teams among the tops with just one win seperating them all.

I think so. The 72 dolfins had a weak schedule. The Patriots are making them irrelevant. By shooting off his mouth, is Shula motivating the Pats to win them all?

I know he's not...just wondering if there's an explanation...maybe something happened during his tenure in the NFL? Listening him to him on the Rizzo on WKNR in Cleveland...he's always entertaining but...just wondering.

It doesn't happen very often but every now and then a coach will throw the red flag on a play that isn't reviewable. Is there a reason for that? What makes a play not reviewable? Is it cut and dry or is there room for speculation, does it change based on certain factors? Is the play still reviewable by "the booth?"

I just thought I might throw out a question that hasn't been beaten to death. That and I really want to know!

Thanks in advance!

What will it take for college football to get their heads where they need to be; or will they need to get a glass stomach first. Sure, right now every week counts but for who...the tv ratings?! A true playoff system would make it survival of the fittest as opposed to survival of the luckiest and weakest schedule so as to get as many wins as possible as it is right now. If college football (most certainly not the players) wants to keep worrying about bowl payoffs and tv ratings they are missing out on the EXTRAORDINARY ratings that would be, should there be a playoff as highly touted teams would be playing week after week come December. Also, a true, legit playoff system would eliminate so-called "tough" or "weak" conferences. What are your thoughts?

The Vikings signed Koy Detmer, Vinny Testerverde at (97yrs) gets signed, Doug Johnson and Chris Weinke are working out for teams.......

Is the NCAA not producing good QB's anymore. Where are the young up and comers. Tavarse Jackson would have trouble starting on pretty much any D I team.

Why does it seem like there is a lot more depth at most other positions in the NFL.

Favre is second behind Tom Brady and closing in passing yards on the year.Payton isnt even in the top 5.

Brady has seven games to toss 16 or more to bring him abreast or past Manning.
He and the Patriots are going for their fourth Super Bowl Title. Manning has one (last season).

Fact: The Patriots didn't "CHEAT" as so many of you think...

Fact: The NY Jets (Yes the team that had the problem with the camera) were guilty of the SAME ACT last year with no penalties.

Now, armed with facts, will you finally let the spygate issue go?

This Patriots team would wipe the floor with the 73 Dolphins. I do not mean any disrespect to Shula, or the Fins, but I think that he needs to keep his opinions , about other coaches, and teams, to himself.

He said they should get an asterisk because of the spying against the jets. Your thoughts on the matter?

Since the Big-12 has three of the top six teams and none of the other conferences come close to that, doesn't it stand to reason that the winner of that shootout should play for the title? and why does Oklahoma catch so much crap for losing that miracle game against traditional powerhouse Colorado? Did you know that Colorado at home when unranked has beaten more top rated teams than any other team ever in the nation? LSU lost to Kentucky which has never been known for football, they lost after Oklahoma which should count, and they really should have lost a couple of other games too. Oregon lost at home- 'nuff said! It just seems to me that with most of the top power in the Big-12, our winner deserves to go. Well, if we get screwed, we can take solace in beating the crap out of whoever we do play in our bowl games. No matter what, Oklahoma can extend their record number of top five finishes.
