Duck-Billed Catechist Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 That 108 yard INT return by Ed Reed (Ravens) was something. The QB made a bad throw and the offensive players had no idea how they might tackle him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

H-Bomb Henry Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Pats looked pretty good against the Fins today. Looks like a QB controversy brewing in New England. The career backup might be worthy of a starting slot. I think Bill Bellichick is the biggest douche in the league but I will admit that he is a great coach. That's more than I can say for his protege Charlie weis who is a douche and a terrible coach. I will be happy when I see weis driving his hove-a-round out of South Bend.

explodo Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I am really enjoying this Giants season. Wotta team.I agree. Looked pretty good today, though I think Arizona might have an artificially inflated record. The Jets looked good, too. Good year for New Yorkers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rareair Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 J-E-T-S, JETS JETS JETS! man, they ran all over the titans. not sure how missing 3 dbs results in giving up 200 yards rushing, but the jets looked very good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 So Matt Light has Channing Crowder by the hair, rips his helmet off and starts beating on his head, and both get thrown out of the game. That's cool. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mountain bed Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Man, it seems like every time the Colts and Chargers play each other it's heart attack city - another nail-biter last night. Vinateri is a pressure guy to be sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tugmoose Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Speaking of D.A., he's back as Browns starting QB with Quinn out for the season. I'd have to say the Browns are the 2nd biggest disappointment of the season, behind (or ahead of) only the Eagles (a tie? a TIE? AGAINST THE BENGALS?!?!?!). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Cowboys or Red Sox? Professor Breer weighs in The prestigious Boston Sports Media Watch asked former Boston-area newspaper guy Albert Breer, who had a cup of coffee with The Dallas Morning News before moving on to The Sporting News, if the Cowboys media coverage is more than the Red Sox get. Breer responded in his usual succinct manner with 499 words. I'm glad they didn't ask him to compare coverage of JFK to LBJ. He'd still be yakking. Here's Albert's response. "Yes, I do think it is, and for several reasons. First is the place of the team in the market. I wouldn't question that the Red Sox are No. 1 in Boston, I just don't think the gap is as great between the Sox and the other teams here as it is with the Cowboys and the other teams in Dallas. The Cowboys can go 2-14, and they'll still tower over the Mavs, Stars and Rangers. Second is the amount of coverage. Here's an example -- The Cowboys held their training camp in Southern California, and traveling people there, as you might expect, isn't cheap. The Morning News had three beat writers and a blogger there, plus photographers, for all of camp (3 weeks.) Plus, there was a rotation with the three columnists, so one of them was always on the ground on the West Coast. About 10 people travel for the Morning News on every single road trip. And that's not counting the NFL writer, Rick Gosselin, who does an annual trip of about 10 training camps, and is at a non-Cowboys game every week. Quite simply, the NFL is king in Dallas and, in general, football rules in Texas to a degree that I don't think exists here. Just my personal opinion. The Star-Telegram, in Fort Worth, commits similar coverage to the Cowboys, and ESPN has two of its most prominent NFL reporters -- Ed Werder on the TV side and Matt Mosley for the dot-com (both DMN-exes, by the way) -- in Dallas and covering the club on a near-daily basis. I'd challenge you to find another team in any sport that garners that kind of commitment from a national outlet. Third is the sheer volume of content. Check the Cowboys Blog at dallasnews.com. I don't think there's another mainstream media, team-specific blog in the country that can come close to competing with it. In particular, look at this past offseason -- We had 10-20 posts a day, and were generating record traffic even in slow times. As for the print product, there's an NFL section separate from SportsDay (what DMN calls its sports section) every Monday. And if you look in the offseason, it's not unusual that Cowboys OTAs (optional offseason workouts) would grab the centerpiece of the section in the middle of May, even with the Mavs and Stars in the playoffs and Rangers season in full swing. Fourth is the interest in the team. I do know the power of the Red Sox brand, but I would say that their following isn't what the Cowboys' is, and for this reason: While Boston transplants are passionate and filling a lot of opposing ballparks, the Cowboys have a rather large faction of fans without having a connection to North Texas. It's impressive, to say the least. I've seen these guys on the road, and even in cities like Charlotte and Detroit last year, when the team bus pulls up to the hotel, it's like the Beatles just got there.

MattZ Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 So I guess we don't think that Romeo Crenel and Charlie Weis were the reasons for the Pats' success anymore? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 So I guess we don't think that Romeo Crenel and Charlie Weis were the reasons for the Pats' success anymore? And interestingly, with the Super Bowl wins, 18-1 season, Tom Brady and Matt Cassel successes, one doesn't see the reference to Belichicken much anymore. Nothing shuts up the naysayers and critics like massive success. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Winston Legthigh Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 So I guess we don't think that Romeo Crenel and Charlie Weis were the reasons for the Pats' success anymore?It's all Scott Pioli. Please Lions, make an offer to him to be your new GM. He should be your first option. 2nd option is the former Titans GM. I forget his name... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
