  1. Reasons I hate the White Sox: Jerry Reinsdorf Ken Harrelson Ozzie Guillen Jerry Reinsdorf AJ Pierzynski Ken Harrelson Jerry Reinsdorf Ken Harrelson Ken Harrelson Ken Harrelson
  2. Certainly not.
  3. I think they do that every time a pitcher leaves the mound. Killjoy.
  4. They're playing "Hey Hey Goodbye" before the game's over. That has to be a jinx, right? Right? Please?
  5. Aw, sheeeit. Well, if this holds up, I'll at least have someone to cheer against. For the divisional round, anyway.
  6. Just watched the Al Davis presser. He is a looney tune. I hope Kiffin gets every single penny out of his miserable hide.
  7. The concept of available credit has been taken to silly extremes, but credit is essential for the economy to function. Lending institutions just need to tighten their requirements for extending credit. Make people save up $40K or $50K as a down payment on a house. Don't lend to obvious credit risks. Stop sending out credit invitations to people who have more than enough available credit. My wife and I, for instance, have nearly $60,000 in available credit, in addition to two mortgages, and we still get invitations in the mail.
  8. I had just come to post that. First time in 50 years a goalie has been named as a team captain.
  9. What's wrong with renting or living within your means? People don't NEED gigantic houses. Well, unless you have 6 or 7 kids. Who's going to buy the houses for everyone to rent?
  10. It's always a coin flip. They do them for every potential tiebreaker that could happen, about three weeks before the season ends. That's so the venues know in advance if they might be booked for the day after the season or not.
  11. I'm not seeing this as a fresh start for the Raiders. From all accounts, the players liked Kiffin and played hard for him, and I question whether they'll respond as well to a new coach. I doubt this is going to be a positive move for them.
  12. Hits: Blue Jays finishing fourth in the AL East Angels running away with the AL West Seattle being drastically overrated (I actually still overrated them) Cubs win the NL Central, Brewers win the wild card Yankees missing the playoffs Misses: Rays being a year away White Sox finishing last in the Central Tigers and White Sox still being good Braves finishing high in the standings Dodgers finishing third
  13. I like the Phillies in 4 (they'll lose Game 2) and the Cubs in 5.
  14. Apparently Big Al's refusing to pay him. Man, they must be just lining up around the block to take that job.
  15. I hate to vote against either of these guys, because I really like both their teams, but if I have to pick one, I'd go for Kahran Ramsus. I think he has a slightly larger edge on offence than VX. I'm also not completely sold on Brett Favre against such a solid defence.
  16. 1. I think it just might be the Giants. They look the most solid in all areas. 2. This isn't close, it's the Rams. Just awful everywhere. Collectively, they probably have the worst group of linemen (offence and defence) in the league. 3. That requires a look at the schedule...I like Chicago to go at least 3-1, maybe 4-0, with the opponents they have (Detroit twice, @ Atlanta, Minnesota). 4. I think Chris Johnson of the Titans leads the race right now. I also like Joe Flacco of the Ravens. 5. Has to be Shawne Merriman. The Charger defence just looks really ordinary without him in there.
  17. Early Kansas City at Carolina Chicago at Detroit Atlanta at Green Bay San Diego at Miami Seattle at NY Giants Washington at Philadelphia Tennessee at Baltimore Indianapolis at Houston Late Tampa Bay at Denver Buffalo at Arizona New England at San Francisco Cincinnati at Dallas SNF Pittsburgh at Jacksonville MNF Minnesota at New Orleans
  18. News of interest to pretty much just me... There's now no baseball of any kind in Ottawa. The Rapidz of the Can-Am League are folding after just one season.

  20. Steelers can't cover 6.5 now. It looked ugly at times, but I escape with another win. It's especially nice to be 3-0 against the division already.
  21. Or, you know, that it was a freak occurence.

    I'm impressed with what I've seen from Flacco so far this season. He's going to be a keeper.

    AFC North games should come with a viewer advisory for excessive boredom.
  24. Over a sample size of more than 2,000 games? It would be kind of shocking if it weren't tied. Uh, no. Edit: As the sample gets larger, the probability of any one outcome gets much smaller.
