A New Chapter in Classic Magic-Bird Tale {Fanhouse NCAA Basketball Blog}
Nov 23rd 2009 6:06PM I was 18 years old when these guys came into the league on the heels of that incredible championship game. I was glued to the tv for every Celtics game until Bird retired.
These two changed the game and brought it out from the dumper. All of today's players should be paying royalties to Johnson and Bird in appreciation for their bloated salaries. They reintroduced a classic style of unselfish basketball that, unfortunately enough, is all too uncommon in today's "Look at me" NBA.
How lucky I was to witness firsthand that amazing chapter in sports history
No Tears, Just Dismal Truth for Jets {Fanhouse NFL Blog}
Nov 23rd 2009 7:07AM Yup....TJ got some cheap stats at the end and the Pats owned the Jets. The Jets took too much stock in that week 2 win, a game Welker missed and only the second in over a year for Brady.
If things keep going the way they are with Welker, he is a shoe-in for the Pro Bowl and although QB's tend to get the nod, I can make a damn good argument for Wes Welker as an MVP candidate.
Spygate to Stupidgate: Belichick Blunders {Fanhouse - Jay Mariotti}
Nov 16th 2009 6:29AM Was it a dumb move? In retrospect, yes. Was it a horrible spot and did the officials REALLY blow it? Yes.
Make a bold move and win, you're a genius....make a bold move and lose, you're a goat. Going for it on 4th and two just shows how much respect the Patriots had for Manning....and the fact that the defense was gassed.
Lasty.....stop the frikkin' "Spygate" stuff, will you? Anyone with a tiny bit of knowledge about the NFL game knows that a Beta camcorder on the sideline is about as useful as a fart in a tornado.
Hats off to Manning....that's why Canton has a spot waiting for him.
Brady vs. Manning: A Symphony on Turf {Fanhouse - Jay Mariotti}
Nov 15th 2009 6:09AM Are you both on frikkin' drugs? Here is the line, COPIED AND PASTED from the story.
"And the Colts have won four of the last five, including a vintage 38-34 victory in the AFC title game that preceded their Super Bowl victory over Chicago."
As a die hard Pats fan, I have to say that Manning is an amazing QB and I look forward to these games every year.
What I don't look forward to is the ignorance of the average Indy fan. Seriously.....stick to basketball. You really can't grasp the complex concept of football quite yet.
Patriots Taking Control in AFC East {Fanhouse NFL Blog}
Nov 8th 2009 6:35PM Pats are hitting stride and the Colts are vulnerable, needing a missed fg at the end to stay perfect. I'm looking forward to next week's match up which will see the Colts fall to 8-1.
Bob Sanders Reportedly Out for Season {Fanhouse NFL Blog}
Nov 6th 2009 4:15PM As a die hard Pats fan, I hate to see this. He's an amazing player and one of the few players who can instantly make an entire defense a whole lot better. I want the Colts at full strength when the Pats meet them next week, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen. It's become a great rivalry and I hope that in spite of injuries to both sides, it proves to be another great match up.
Brit Named Harry Potter Is Living a Magical Nightmare {Lemondrop}
Nov 1st 2009 9:54AM It's not a big deal. Lord, there are over 20 "Harold/Harry Potter"s living in Massachusetts alone.
Twenty Years Ago, One Hit Changed Two Lives Forever {Fanhouse NCAA Football Blog}
Oct 30th 2009 10:28AM I remember seeing this story a couple of years ago on ESPN...it was touching then and it is just as touching today.
The one remarkable thing I see in Mr. Gaines, aside from the obvious, is the fact that he did nothing to cause Chucky's injury. Mr. Gaines was the receiver and he was hit in the back by Chucky. There should be no guilt, because the only thing Gaines did was jump up to get a ball.
Once you remove guilt as a motivator, only love and compassion remain.....and that's what has fueled him for these 20 years.
Henne's Challenge: Don't Get Blown Away by Brees {Fanhouse NFL Blog}
Oct 24th 2009 9:20AM Articles that pit QBs head to head make me laugh. You make it sound as if Henne and Brees will duke it out at midfield and the winner will be carried out by the other 44 non-combatants on the team.
The ONLY time Henne and Brees will face each other is after the game when they come out for butt slap or a hand shake.
Offense plays the defense.......that is the way it is and the way it shall always be.
Fantasy Football Week 7 Rankings: QB {Fanhouse Fantasy Football}
Oct 24th 2009 9:14AM I think that it's safe to say that Brady won't have a repeat of last week's performance. Not because of what he's done this year, but what he's done his entire career.
Last week, he matched his high for TDs in a game with 6....a feat he has only accomplished one other time....one other time since he came into the league in 2000. Just based on that alone, I doubt that anyone could expect a repeat performance.
However, your contention is flawed that the field conditions are not conducive to the passing game because it limits players being able to come out from their breaks.
It was snowing last week in Foxboro and the field was horrendous. Poor field conditions always favor the offense because the offense acts and the defense reacts. It's always much easier to run a planned route than it is to react to one.
Brady will still have a monster game. A repeat of last week? Hardly...but he will play higher than the 9 you placed him.
