USC Wuz Robbed!

Oh... so Okur is worth more than Boozer? WTF?

Seriously, what the fuck? Lane Kiffin stood up to Al Davis, and got shredded to pieces for it in various ways. Look at it, he wasn't allowed to pick any players from the draft or free agency. He wasn't allowed to pick his coaching staff. He wasn't allowed to fire a defensive coordinator who honestly sucked. He wasn't allowed to do shit. Yet people expect sunshine to shine out of his ass all through this? Of course his attitude wilted under all these bullshit circumstances that was given to him. It was like he was hired by Al Davis to be a fucking puppet a la Wade Phillips in Dallas, only except that's not how Lane Kiffin wanted to roll. I'm glad he got fired for a different reason. Now he can go be a good coach elsewhere that the ownership would have more faith in him. Maybe that's not on the NFL level. But he's a good coach and he deserved better. edit: The point of all this is those Raiders fans who wants to spew the venom, direct that at the big man himself, not Lane Kiffin. Davis created the situation that made it so uncomfortable for Kiffin. He fostered the "Its him vs us" mentality that existed among Davis supporters on the staff vs Kiffin. But if you're content on ROB RYAN becoming the head coach, then cool.

Aww he was in my mind for a supporting role. Good pick, Ravenbomb.

Ok, so it was money. Wouldn't this mean Utah would pay a lot to keep him? Surely they know he's one of the two reasons Utah is better than they have any right to be, Sloan not included?

Why do people expect Boozer to leave? He chose Utah over Cleveland. Surely he likes it there?

Actually I do understand the sentiment being made here, I just don't agree with it. That's all.

Honestly I think too big of a deal is made out of the whole last game thing. They are getting a bigger (I assume) park next year that will be very expensive, and they will trot out a very expensive team next year and the year after that and so on. It's not as if the Yankees are closing up shop to move to Portland and become the major league version of the Beavers. The Yankees will still be the Yankees and most everyone will still hate them.

Shut up. It's the final game at Yankee Stadium, let him have the moment. Why him though? It would seem odd that the final Yankees stadium moment is that of Derek Jeter getting a curtain call. You'd think they'd try to make it about the team, not about the guy. That's what I presume the fuck you is about. Then again he isn't exactly fond of the Yankees anyways.

Because adjusted for inflation, I'm sure Hogan pretty much drew more money and ratings that "will probably never be rivaled" than Austin. Not to mention he has been on top of WWF for 8 years (in his first run), Austin has only for 2 to 4 years. I don't know how you can adjust ratings for inflation, but I can help with adjusting the money via this handy site, The Inflation Calculator. Obviously with ratings, you adjust it for how many homes get the channel, and how many people are watching TV in general. The fact that Hogan was drawing monster ratings for WWF (in an admittedly less crowded market) whereas Austin was drawing monster ratings adjusted for the time. Whatever term you'd call it to explain why a 15.0 rating in 1988 is not as impressive as a 15.0 rating in say, 1998.

Well as much as I think they need to man up about it, I do agree with them. If it was Red Sox or Yankees or Cubs, a lot more consideration would have been given to those teams than was given to Houston.

I think I did poorly in PF this week but I led as of the end of Week 2, and I don't intend to relinquish that crown long term.

Don't worry. The White Sox will make it as clean as possible by getting swept by the Twins.

Funny how me moving out of the division helps out with that, huh? And oh I stay unbeaten. Maybe HarleyQuinn was right, maybe Atlanta is destined for the Super Bowl...

Yeah, if you give up 400 yards to the guy you cut the previous offseason, your defense needs reworking.

THIS IS WHY YOU TAKE THAT FINAL SHOT IN REGULATION.

I take back everything positive I said about the Bears or their defense. Just awful.

They are essentially turning it over anyways by allowing re-possession to be determined by a coin flip. And throwing a hail mary pass to the end zone, getting it picked off, and having it returned for a TD is just as unlikely as the Hail Mary TD anyways.

I honestly hate when a team kneels with the ball to end regulation. Just take a final shot!

I knew there was a reason I was mildly excited the Bears signed Brandon Lloyd.

First of all, it's Iggy. Second of all, beating Tennessee isn't really the same as beating Ohio State. Oklahoma will be fine once they start playing teams like Texas or Missouri.

Ah yes, I'll take Humphrey Bogart.

Packers will still win the division, but it won't be a runaway deal, which is what I'm saying. Just getting that out there before people confuse my point.

Did you also hear about Austin not wanting to work Mania with Hogan?
