Alligatorjandro has there been any conspiracy talk yet in Jacksonville over why Khan doesn't want Tebow? I'd imagine some of your fellow Jags fans would somehow come up with a theory that since he is Pakistani he is anti-Christian.

Bulls scare me. I knew if they got matched up against the Heat they would have a great shot at taking them out.

I still think Heat advance but probably a 7 game series. Miami needs to stop being so finesse trying to make the extra pass after an already extra pass all fancy and shit. They pass up more open shots than most teams I have seen. And the big three need to play much better. Never seen all three play so shitty at the same time.

Chicago is not taking Miami to 7 games. Even Homer of the Decade Stacey King can't imagine that team having enough fire power to win 3 games.

Well Deng and Hinrich come back in the next game or the game after.

Rose shouldn't even count in the equation as of now. But with a healthy Deng and Hinrich, reduced minutes for Nate (limit the inevitable bad play around the corner), excellent D, superior rebounding, and all around better coaching I think the Bulls can pull it off.

I hope not, I have become a Lebron fan over the years and want to see him reach the highest of highs but what I saw from them last night, how they played, and the lack of energy was very concerning.

Pats fans, you guys think Brady sees "ghosts"? Granted, almost every QB gets jittery if you hit him enough, but is Brady particularly skittish?

I would say he's been pretty skittish the last few years; ducked a fair amount of ghosts last season.

No way the Bulls win 3 games. The Heat are too stacked and have too much offense for a beat up Bulls team. As great as Noah is he just can't take advantage of the Heats lack of size and score enough to make this a series. That isn't his game.

It won't happen but I would celebrate if the Bulls pulled off that upset. But 4 wins is asking too much.

And Rose is short. He relies entirely in his athleticism. Even if he can play with no pain unless he can jump over buildings and change directions like he used to he won't be very good. I am guessing he won't be full strength until like December. At this point he might hurt the team more than help it.
Click to expand...

At this point he might as well come off the bench and see what he has. He needs some Kobe or MJ spirit. If his psyche makes him think hes not ready now, why would he be ready in 6 months?

Nate should just start for the rest of the playoffs. He brings too much chemistry and hustle. He's like Rose but with durability and street cred.

Ryan Clark is right.

Brady's been seeing ghosts for a long time.

Ryan Clark also can't play in Denver, which really hurts the Steelers.

Jury is out on Amendola, Welker did jack shit before he came to the Pats, Amendola is younger and more injury prone. We'll see how long he lasts. Thankfully we have injury fest Edelman in the wings.

In fairness Bieber fucks more women than Wilt Chamberlain so knocking him for looking fairly androgynous is disingenuous! Just like knocking Brady for fathering a baby out of wedlock, having an ass chin, and being married to a world supermodel is about as dumb as drafting Ryan Tannehill.

The Ravens say Roland McClain deserves a second chance!

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000167670/article/ravens-rolando-mcclain-deserves-second-chance

"I think this about McClain, he deserves a second chance," DeCosta told The Baltimore Sun on Monday night. "If you asked him, he would probably admit to making some mistakes. We think he warrants a second chance."

The former Oakland Raiders defender remains a frequent presence in the court system. Along with his April indiscretion, the 23-year-old on Monday pleaded guilty to a window tint violation and had a false information charge dismissed. McClain also faces two pending cases involving driving charges.

After signing a one-year, $700,000 contract with up to $400,000 in incentives, McClain's already been given a second -- if not a third or fourth -- opportunity for redemption.

Speaking of, here's a perfectly timed hit piece on Cam: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap10...hers-going-nowhere-with-ron-rivera-cam-newton

I don't believe Newton has what it takes to eradicate and/or mask areas of deficiency. I don't believe he is an elite, upper-echelon quarterback.

...

Luck and RG3 would've put the flawed Panthers in the playoffs last year, just like they did with the Indianapolis Colts and Washington Redskins, respectively.

...

Cam Newton isn't focused enough -- or good enough -- to overcome the obstacles he'll face in this competitive division.

Dumbass pundits don't realize it's Cam that's keeping the Panthers from being 2-14 every year, not the other way around

Click to expand...

Have notes right next to you. With facts about the company interviewing you. What your goals are, what you bring to the table and what you did in your previous jobs. Be calm, don't stumble and be ready to answer a lot of questions. The person interviewing you will have a sheet where they fill in your answers, so just make sure you are in a quiet environment when they call. Don't be dumb enough to have the TV on! When they call, act like you've been ready to hear from them.

Kobe and MJ are 6'6". Rose is a short guy. Without his speed and athleticism he won't be able to get his shot off.

Sometimes by rushing back from injury all you do is hurt your team. You have to be able to play through injuries and still find a way to be effective, all great players can do that, but you also have to recognize when doing that is going to hurt your team. This is more true in the NFL than the NBA because everyone in football is terrified of losing their job to injury and there are no guaranteed contracts.

See RG3 for the perfect example of why Rose should not rush back. He places a shit load of pressure on his knees the way he attacks the basket. That and his not being in basketball shape really makes it very likely he could have another injury. The only way I would sign off on my franchise player coming back for these playoffs in these circumstances is if he came off the bench and they really limited the guys minutes.

Yeah, I could easily see the Cardinals being a 7 or 8 win team if things go well for them. They have done some smart things in the offseason, like drafting Cooper and restocking their running back corps, but going from Ray Horton to Todd Bowles could be a big downgrade, especially with Daryl Washington out at least 4 games and probably more. I don't see the Cardinals being the worst team in the league because they should have a half decent offense, but they do have a fairly tough schedule.
Click to expand...
This, more or less. We won't make the playoffs this year unless wild card prospects really blow but we should be close to .500
squicken said:
cmon man .500? I think you are better than a last place team, but your brutal schedule may get you. If you can stay within 20 of STL Week 1 then maybe things can go well the rest of the year

edit: Just saw this on Twitter. Washington was the first player since Bruce Smith to have 9 sacks and 100 tackles

http://www.pro-football-reference.c...pos_is_db=Y&draft_pos_is_k=Y&draft_pos_is_p=Y

That is a list of very good players
Click to expand...
Honestly there are so many unknowns between new coach, new gm, new QB and just many new and younger players on the team in general. I'm going glass half full with the expectation that our D will at least still be very good even if we drop off a bit and the offense can only be better. If we even had a mediocre QB last year, record would be completely different and this year we have an at least mediocre QB and better protection. Also we'll actually have a run game this year whereas last year we were 32nd due to injuries. We're balls deep at the position now.

On another note, jncjncjncjnc @ the Niners for bringing Snyder back. That's right, take your trash back! Too bad he'll only be backup if that but it's still funny after the conversation FMT and I had about him last week.

Yes, Daryl Washington is the best ILB in the league and it wasn't even close last year. Look at the combination of his tackles and sacks and the yards lost from sacks. There are a few guys with more tackles, but they didn't sack for shit. He also had an int, etc. He was the king of ILB last season and it was a complete joke that he was an alternate behind the lesser Niner ILB's but then again, the Pro bowl is just one big joke. Alas, he's in some serious shit off the field right now and I'm waiting to see how it pans out.

That actually worked out well for SF though. They weakened a division rival, cleared room for Boone to take over and excel, got a 3rd round compensatory pick since you guys vastly over-paid him, and now brought a guy back who is good depth and knows the system.
