After that no more sports for me till september.
As for the Pats "perfect season" great for them. but honestly sping & cheating will only get ya so far.
Which is why i stoped watching pro ball to begin with. that & they busted up my team after Joe Montana left. Stroids, bazillion doller saleries. These guys have noting to prove anymore. with endorsemnts and the fat *** contracts they get...3 seasons and they could retire for life. it's not about the game anymore in the NFL. it's all about the money.
With collage kids....it's do or die. they have everytghing to loose.
ok i'll get off my soap box now.
Preach on brother. Pro football is a joke, much like any of the professional sports these days. Doesn't matter how good or bad they play, they still get their salaries, press time, and endorsements. I wouldn't care if all the T. Owens, Kobe Bryant, and Barry Bonds types died in a massive fire.
College ball is where its at. There is so much more atmosphere, pride, and give/take all that makes sports fun to watch.
GO TROJANS! (even if they didn't have a great season this year)
A bad season for the TROJANS, is a good season for most everyone elseOriginally posted by I_KG100_Prien:
GO TROJANS! (even if they didn't have a great season this year)I went to the Las Vegas Bowl this year, and the pregame fly over by two F-15Es was fantastic. College Football is by far superior to the N(Commercial)FL.
Perfection means making it through the playoffs, and the Pats won't be surprising anybody who gets that far, the way they did a few times in the early season. The Colts' defense has made enormous strides this season; to me, they look like they may be the most underrated defending world champions of all time. That said, the Patriots (gag!) look like the heavy favorites.
This Chargers' fan will say nothing until my team has won a playoff game and broken the Marty Schottenheimer jinx. I will point out that even if the Pats win it all, they will have done it with two longtime San Diego stalwarts, Seau and Harrison (it's still amazing to me how quickly Rodney Harrison went from being a "dirty player" to a merely hard-nosed one once he got those lightning bolts off his noggin) and the greatest college defensive end to ever come out of my home university (Arizona), Teddy Bruschi (by the way, who traded Wes Welker to the Dolphins in the first place?- Yeah, it was San Diego. Marty didn't think he was as good a receiver or punt returner as Eric Parker). I can't begrudge those guys, but if Tom Terrific and Randy (Elbows) Moss happen to go down in flames...well, I could hardly object to that either.
By the way, I hated the Dolphins back in the seventies too. Unlike some, I remember that they won the AFC Championship over a Steelers team that had been badly weakened by the flu in the sixteenth game of their 'perfect' season.
Luck is always a factor in these things. Who can say if the '72 Dolphins would be as much of an icon if Terry Bradshaw (among others) hadn't spent so much time ralphing on the sideline during that game?

After watching my Arizona Wildcats getting jobbed year in and year out by the Pac 10's officials in games with the California teams in both football and basketball, I'm done with it. Teddy Bruschi's 'Desert Swarm' teams in '93 were flat out robbed of a national title by blatantly biased Pac 10 officiating in the UCLA and Cal games the year they went to the Fiesta Bowl and thumped Miami 29-0 instead of getting a shot at the Orange Bowl.
The reality is that pro sports have a better budget & means for keeping their officiating crews, coaches, and players honest (and even they still have chinks in their armor) and the college game is riddled with integrity challenged coaches (like the fellow who dumped the Dolphins for Alabama, for instance), officials, and players.
I'll take the pros any day. At least they can fine or suspend the cheaters (including the players) and make them pay a real price for breaking the rules.

As a Pats fan... theres nothing negative said in this forum that wasn't said in weeks 3, 5, 15 and every week earlier this season... There's plenty of blueprints out to be the Pats... yet... still undefeated.
Despite all the **** thats been talked I'll hold my tongue about the other teams. But they better have more than just a basic blueprint... and they better be ready for a fight, oh and guaranteeing victory isn't a good idea either...![]()
