Can’t see GB winning Puma… I know it’s hard to beat a team twice, but the Packers defense man… it’s not good. Course, Kaepernick could gift the game away, but I can’t see that happening.

Nolie, they beat ND. Herschel dislocated his shoulder on his first carry. Went out, had the shoulder put back in place and came back to rush about 30 times for 156 yards. That was in the Sugar Bowl in the Superdome. I was there and the next year when Dan Marino threw a 30 yard TD pass on 4th down to beat GA.

I watched him in person all three years and he was the best running back I ever saw – his Freshman year. He should have won the Heisman in 80 but they didn’t give it to Freshman back then and I resented the A&M QB getting it this year as one. But he ran harder in 80 than 81 and 82.

This past season was the second consecutive season and third season in the past four that Furcal has been unable to post even adequate offensive numbers. Yes, shortstop production has been down recently, but of the 35 shortstops who accumulated at least 600 plate appearances over the past two seasons, Furcal’s 85 wRC+ ties for a middling 19th place. And his 1.2 WAR last season ranked dead last among the 20 shortstops who posted 500 or more plate appearances. So not only has Furcal been bad overall, he also has been bad for his position.

The irony of it all is the big media outlets bemoaned the boredom of the all sec championship last year. Surely a different matchup between teams from different conferences would be more entertaining. This game was much hyped, but the sec title game this year was the “entertainment” that they said couldn’t be had between two sec teams. I just want to see the two best teams go at it, I don’t care what conference they are from.
Btw, loved the fact that the center pushed his own qb. I know it was nothing serious but I like competitors like that.

The Real Brave….Dont really seem to “Brave” but more worried about being “politically correct” which lacks courage and leadership and speaks conformity and bending to pressure . By a few white people over somethign Indians are completely OK with? Are we going to continue to let a few vocal citizens with their own agenda force their agenda upon the other 90% of us so we have new generations coming up thinking if they are not politically correct they are wrong or evil? According to a few white minorites who promotes their way or you should be ashamed and evil? That is the NEW thing in this country that minorities use to get there way accepted over the rest of us and too many just roll over like nothing, bend to the pressure. so we can not be frowned upon and be politically correct. Bending to what?! These groups have learned how to make you think and act anyway they want and they will never stop since it works so well…the MAJORITY has to stand up for what the majority has always stood up for and having an Indian symbol is not racist or insulting. We just roll over. Wusses with no character or backbone. Just dont want to go against being “politically correct”. Who decides what is politically correct?! I would hope the MAJORITY but no, its the minority groups because they couldnt force their way on the majority so they use “bad publicity” scare tactics….and make everything they want “politically incorrect”….the list gets longer and longer and this nation is about to be overrun by the minority and the majority will be ruled by the minority using politically correctness and the media will back them up and give them publicity….Onemain problem is all the cowards in this country that are more concerned with being politically correct and everyone being so sensitive. Sensitive is one thing and love and politeness yeah I get that, but its went too far and now hundreds of things the majority are not for and politically incorrect and cowards just fold like a tent….I am with you Dave. I like the Indian and the Indian have no darn problem with it….fact. Only a few white people with nothign better to do than make sure “nobody” anywhere gets offended…even when the people arent offended in the slightest…listen up.
Dont be a Real Coward….be a Real Man and American….America wasnt built like this but it sure can be destroyed like this! Toughen UP. Be men! Be leaders! Stop rolling over and politicians and media and businesses are the worst…..they fold like tents! America needs men leadership. BE ONE! A real man……John Wayne you havent been. More like Rob Reiner….Be men…lead your families and churches and communities and have some backbone….John Wayne. Clint Eastwood. Ronald Reagan. George Patton. Eisenhower. Its time to be men….where have you all disappeared to? Gloria Steinem take your manhood? You know Christian Bale is her son? Might explain some of his issues.

Heyman has Tim Raines, Jack Morris, Dale Murphy, Curt Schilling, Don Mattingly, and Fred McGriff
Not this time
31. Barry Bonds: Love the 1.422 OPS in 2004. When he was 40.
32. Roger Clemens: Twilight of his career was better than real part of his career.
33. Mark McGwire: Can be compared to only three batters after age 33: Babe Ruth, Ted Williams and Bonds. Before that, he was compared to Jay Buhner.
34. Rafael Palmeiro: Hall of Fame stats and congressional acting performance.
35. Sammy Sosa: There’s really no more hard evidence on him than a few others, but between the corked bat, the 66 home runs, a report of a failed 2003 test and confused testimony, he seems emblematic of an era. Will delay my vote on him until more evidence is in.
36. Mike Piazza: As with Sosa, I delayed my “yes” vote on the greatest hitting catcher of all-time to await more evidence. It has been reported he’s writing a book, so perhaps he will shed some light.
37. Jeff Bagwell: Deserving on the numbers, but as with Sosa and Piazza, I delayed my “yes” vote until further proof/word.
None of ‘em
