USC Wuz Robbed!

I don't even think it's possible to break even with their model.

I didn't know Benoit the man, so my opinion of him was limited to his in-ring performer persona. Thus only when the ordeal emerged did I actually fully form an opinion of him as a person. He's a man who had some disturbed end to his life. I still like him though as a performer.

Oh ok. I thought he was trying to insinuate it was held in Orlando the whole time and billed as from Detroit or St. Louis.

What on the earth are you talking about?

No Reservations is that Aaron Eckhart/Catherine Zeta Jones romantic comedy about chefs or something.

Two weeks left there are 5 undefeateds. Boise State just can't get a break. They are undefeated and only ranked 12th. The others are: West Virginia, Virginia Tech, Oklahoma and my UCLA.

Same here.

I don't have a problem with the tag matches because I wisely knock the partner off the apron before making a pin.

Obviously you didn't read carefully. It would be Jeffrey Dean Morgan playing the Comedian, not Matthew Goode. Morgan would be best known for his guest star shot on Grey's Anatomy as Denny, Katherine Heigl's character's love interest last season.

Wade Phillips won't be a better overall coach but he will be bringing the defensive schemes that the current Cowboys defensive personnel is more suited for. I see monster years for people like Ware and others, and there won't be any silly switching between OLB and DEs like Parcells liked to do.

Certainly moreso than the Packers.

It is? News to me.

Still Fly, most of the guys you named are NOT on the "hot seat". Mike Shanahan? What the heck, man? Jeff Fisher? The guy who coached a team that was basically VY and a defense to a 8-8 record? Wade Phillips? Jason Garrett is going to need more than one year as a coordinator. If Cowboys win with Phillips, he stays.

Cena.

If Niners win the West AND get the #1 seed while regressing in coaching, then as cheech would say, I'll eat my hat.

You forget to mention the Bears signed Tillman to an extension too. I'm very happy. The only question mark left is quarterback but I think Rex Grossman will be fine. With the bizarro Grossman last year they made the Super Bowl. He'll be more consistent... and if its anything average or better, we'll be in good hands.

He wants #3 pick money instead of #22 pick money, or something like that.

Well I consider a true rookie QB to be someone that is meant to be their franchise quarterback. Sometimes when you have no one around to challenge you, you come in right away like the Manning or Carr examples. However lately it does seem like teams have taken more precautions to protect the quarterbacks by getting veterans to teach them how to play and to start initially so the rookies could sit and learn the offenses more. I know it's not a huge difference in between QBs who started early and QBs who started late, but as the years go on, it's also because teams have filled their rosters with decent QBs that there's starting to be a logjam at those positions throughout the NFL. John Beck was drafted onto a roster that would have had Daunte Culpepper and Trent Green. Drew Stanton is coming in Detroit despite Detroit having just drafted a quarterback a few years ago (Dan Orlovsky) and the Detroit coaches being high on Jon Kitna. From all accounts, JaMarcus Russell is going to sit for a while when Josh McCown starts for Oakland. Tennessee tried to have Kerry Collins come in to keep Vince Young on the bench, but obviously he was so horrible that they decided to just go ahead and use Vince Young, figuring he couldn't be any worse than what Collins was doing for them. Matt Leinart also was expected to sit for a good while as Kurt Warner started, and he lasted 6 weeks, which I suppose is long enough for a star rookie quarterback in some circles, to sit and learn before going out to play, and Warner's horrible play helped usher that thinking in Arizona. How one would think it's still a case of QBs being rushed into play is just silly, because the trend is apparent. As for Brady Quinn, he is supposedly going to hold out. That's going to lose him some time in which he has to learn offenses and rapport with his teammates. Add that to the fact Derek Anderson has been said MANY times by Cleveland papers to be the starter this year, it's just blind "Cleveland sucks LOL" bias to think they would rush Quinn into play.

DP.

First of all, how many of those who started early only did so because of injury to the original starter? The only cases that I really count are the ones who had absolutely no answer at the spot beforehand like Peyton and the Colts. Furthermore I did imply that the trend was a recent one, going back to 1998 (a full ten years ago) is quite contradictory to that statement. Look at the past THREE years, you have more people sitting than starting.

Or your fed just sucks and they know it? I mean they won't want to see Scotty 2 Hotty and Brian Lawler pushed.

Taker can do a suicide dive, doesn't make him a high flier.

Show me examples of Joe's flying ability.

His problem is he wants a long term deal, which I agree with, but he's definitely going about it the wrong way. I'm in support of the Bears here.

I think Vince is just worried that without Punk ECW would have no discernable faces to go buy tickets for.
