I'm sure you are reminded every time you see an erect penis. Best logo ever. Texans should have just stolen the name back.

whoa penis talk now? strange day in here.

I'm reminded of failure, that name is dead to me.

Texans are doing a great job of living up to it anyway.

 

[Baconsammy]

I bet one of the bye-week teams shit the bed this coming weekend Notre Dame-style. I just hope it isnt my team.

 

[mastershake]

Bring on Alabama Crimson Tide into the NFL

Sigh.... not this shit again

 

[BlackGhost]

Contract the Browns or Relegate them

Bring on Alabama Crimson Tide into the NFL

How could you? You're so cold to me now -_-

Te'o just got dominated

wasn't that bad of a shed off the fullback

 

[GraveRobberX]

I don't think you understand how relegation works.

Send them to the CFL?

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Musberger may or may not be drunk.

Back breaking TAINT incoming

 

[Sanjuro]

but hockey isn't a major sport... not after this fiasco.

[OriginofHysteria]

As entertaining as this game is, I still think it's stupid that the BCS National Championship is played a month and a half after the regular season is over.

That's a promotion.

How was Notre Dame the #1 team in America?

You missed the interracial man-on-man love in the NBA thread earlier.

No idea. Same way Falcons were for a bit too.

 

[tmdorsey]

Norte Dame is basically the Falcons of college football.

I take offense to this sir.

 

[BlackGhost]

I'm just fucking around

Watch your back trophy boy.

 

[bionic77]

Live in the past, you will be visiting quite often for a few years to come

I did it before. I can do it again!

 

[Matrix]

NBA talk - They just love each other like brothers! I'll keep telling myself that.

 

[jbug617]

How was Notre Dame the #1 team in America?

They were undefeated.

It's true though.

Watch ND only score 2 points.

 

[Baconsammy]

Dipshits like Kornheiser begged for this game for months.

 

[KaYotiX]

It's true though.

I'd be shocked if they score that

 

[bluemax]

How was Notre Dame the #1 team in America?

They were the only bowl eligible team with an undefeated record, they get a lot of undeserved love from old timey media types.

They also stole a game from a Stanford team that was clearly better than them. And I think they stole a game from UW as well. They also had to use triple OT to beat a shitty Pittsburgh team.

 

[Sanjuro]

How was Notre Dame the #1 team in America?

Undiscovered child sex slaves.

 

[cdyhybrid]

How was Notre Dame the #1 team in America?

Media slurping and they went undefeated against a cupcake schedule. They even struggled with a lot of the mediocre teams they played.

 

[GraveRobberX]

Hockey will become mainstream when end game scores are like in the 20+ range
Enough of this Overtime/Draw bullshit
Make those fucking Goalies where less padding, protect them, don't need a fucking tank guarding that bitch
Points matter, more scoring, people get interested

When the game ends 0-0 after OT and you are warded only points, shit is stupid

I still can't believe they were a missed chip shot FG away from losing to Pittsburgh and not being here.

Why don't you have avatar of your teams QB?

 

[ActStriker]

the fuck you holding for on a 2 man rush?

 

[mastershake]

3rd and 12?

Rush 2!

Hockey needs more exposure.Having it on the Outdoor Channel doesnt help.

There's not a channel that will help it. It's hockey.

Directly to shoot out if tied after 3rd period.
I think goalie pad size is different depending on goalie size or some shit? Not real sure how that works. You can't just put a obese on ice and roll him in the net.

Allow more fights to play out? I like the game, but fights are usually fun when they occur. Some people are a little over kill and basically only watch for fights.

Even I'm laughing at this. That's not Hockey at all and less padding for the goalies... you crazy? lol

Fuck that noise. And the NHL not being mainstream is a positive. Any sport that features fewer idiots from ESPN crying over it every minute of the day is a major plus.

 

[Sanjuro]

That's actually one of the reasons some of the audience died out. Sick of the fights and especially pre-HD one of the harder sports to follow on television.

Real reasons? Moved popular teams to southern/western locations with no attachment. Ditched ESPN for higher profit margins on the Outdoor Life Network.

 

[BlackGhost]

Lol when does Espn even talk about Hockey

The only reason they don't talk about it on ESPN is the television contract. There are no games on ESPN for ESPN to promote.

 

[Baconsammy]

When there's a riot in lol Canada.

 

[ActStriker]

Lol when does Espn even talk about Hockey

When the stanley cup rolls around and they can't even spare a HD camera for the onsite recap

Noriega.

Is that kind of like how Newton was snes?

After the 2002 stike/lockout, whatever it was, I lost idea of where some players were and hadn't truly paid attention to NHL since. I go to a lot of AHL games with my wife's family. Good times usually.

And yea, I hear people in the crowds a lot that haven't been to a game totally confused as to what's going on.

 

[Godslay]

iirc

In terms of attendance they have been very close, even up to this season. NBA has better TV contracts, and better self promotion. I can't find anything pre-2000 in terms of attendance, but I'm pretty sure that the NHL was more popular when the NBA was in a lull from Jordan being gone.
