-Because he sucks -Because if Benoit doesn't need the Rumble to get a title shot, neither does Orton

Lee Suggs goes 26/182/ 2TDs?!? What the fuck

Yeah, I think the waiver system is based on draft position. Then once you get one guy, you go to the back of the line. I don't know if Yahoo has a setup where you can change that.

I wanted to get this in before the games, so if I lose it doesn't look like petty bitching. Next year, I think it would be a good idea to have the playoffs start a week earlier and have the championship on week 16. That way we can avoid most of the "they clinched the division, so they might bench people" scenarios.

Could you just keep a lineup and then just not check it anymore, as opposed to giving players away. I hate it when bottom teams always do that in every league, and it always turns into bitching and bullshit.

I don't think it spells the end, because Staley has come up big this season and Buckhalter has the ability to come up big if given the touches. Plus the only remotely scary team in the NFC is the Rams and the Eagles can beat them in St.Louis. But it certainly does hurt their chances, because he was the team MVP up to this point.

Well it is the final weekend and three playoff spots are still up in the air (AFC central, NFC central, and second NFC wildcard). But FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK, Brian Westbrook is done for the rest of the season after tearing his tricep tonight in a meaningless bullshit game against the worthless fucking Redskins. FUCK

I would suggest then that you do quick twitch muscle excercises. You are going to need to be explosive, where you are going to be on the smaller side (Even if you pump up you'll still probably be considered small in a few months). I remember on Sportscenter a couple of years ago, they went through Adam Archuleta's workout routine. It was really strange, but it would probably help you. I don't remember the specifics, so you might want to research it, but it dealt more with getting your muscles to turn on and off in an instant as opposed to pure bulk/strength.

It is a shame that you didn't decide this two months ago. That way you could have gone to the games and watch specific players (ex. watch the MLB every play or watch what the safety does). Because that is what you really need to do and I doubt you can get actual game film with that stuff anywhere.

I thought more people are usually upset that stereotypes get used 90% of the time (ex. Samoans are wildmen, Japanese people are all the same and can't speak English, stealing cars is like riding a bike for black guys). Not that they don't get used enough. I never thought people had a problem with people playing another race/character as long as it was done well. Looking back at the WWE Top 50 thread, people seem to like Yokozuna, because he was a well made monster and noone seemed to bitch that he was a samoan playing a sumo character. If the character is done poorly and the actor/wrestler can't do the character well (which is very common in wrestling where people aren't the best actors), it is always going to get bitched about, whether it be movies/tv/wrestling.

If you don't have the speed to be a linebacker, you probably wouldn't play defensive lineman. If you are going to be that small, you have to be fast and explosive to be a DL so you can get around the line instead of through it. Either set up to be a MLB or a safety. Those are the positions where you can think yourself into position.

Rangers sign Brian Jordan to a 1 year deal. Also expected to announce signing David Delucci on Monday.

Yeah, he was so exposed that he showed he can only catch a half dozen balls when being triple covered. He is such a farce.

It doesn't hurt that in the 8 completed weeks you have already played 6 of the bottom 7 teams in the league. But also you have a shitload of steals, Wallace brings the blocks, Wallace and Dampier bring the boards, Marbury brings a ton of assists and a bunch of people can hit a three for you. So while you may not have a ton of star power, pretty much everyone on the team provides at least one or two non-point stats. So you are typically going to go into every week with a 5-3 advantage from the start.

Damn right Craven vs. Busch needed to be on there. If they are throwing out nods to women's college basketball, they can throw a little love NASCAR's way.

I just want to throw in that I love my 6'9", 3rd in steals and 3rd in blocks Russian.

Darko Granted, hard to play well when you average about 1 minute a game. EDIT: Sorry, I exaggerated. He is actually averaging 2.8 minutes per game with a stout half point per game.

I would like to see how his agent explained this deal to him. God knows if he can't learn defensive schemes, contracts must be like nuclear physics.

What's the point for who? Players: Get the guaranteed signing bonus money that you can only get in a long term deal Owners: Sign the guys to long term deals so they end up cheap if they pan out

Actually the deal includes the 20 million signing bonus. But they are going to get ass rammed on the back end of this deal. They are only paying him a small base salary the next two years.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/stor..._len&id=1694367 8 yrs/60 mil? I don't see every Redskins game, but being an Eagles fan I have watched quite a few games. And I don't remember ever (save for one or two times at most) coming away thinking that Lavar Arrington was anything more than a good LB with potential. But this is cap room that the Skins waste so it makes me feel pretty good.

God bless that fair minded, research doing, non-judgemental ESPN. "Maybe it was the presence of the Flyers that set off the fans. Philadelphia, remember, is where Santa was once booed in a holiday parade" From an ESPN.com article. Wow. It wasn't just one incident 30 years ago where the fans booed a drunk Santa at an Eagles game. Now it has turned into booing Santa at a holiday parade. Good work ESPN. Let's see what they can make up about Philly next time an incident happens in an entirely different city and having nothing to do with Philadelphia. Situation: Next year, fan stabs a Santa in a parking lot. "Well this was an ugly incident. Maybe it was because a guy from Philadelphia was within 500 yards of the incident. Remember the time that fans jumped out of the stands anally raped a Santa and then shot him in the head."

Side note: Was anyone else a little disappointed in the final video package on the Best Of show this year?

I was flipping through and saw that Tennessee vs. UCONN womens basketball was the no.9 game. It wasn't a tourney game, it was regular season. But then I flipped away and forgot to go back to it.

I seriously doubt they would turn you away if you came in willing to get beat up for a week. But it really doesn't seem to be the case where you just pick up football. You hear more stories about people just start playing basketball or baseball in college, not football as much.
