Please tell me I won't have to invest in Setanta.
I think the current Sky contract has ended, allowing them to re-work terms, possibly leading to an NFL Network channel of its own....

That's the way I looked into it.


Watching Superbowl XXXI (GB v NE). The classiest uniforms against probably the skankiest things the NFL has ever seen. Seriously, at what point in the late 90s did someone think these looked nice??? Were they on crack?

Same.

Talking of throwbacks (again). My Bruschi throwback arrived :)

Waiting for a Gostkowski replica to be made available and my collection is complete :D

Elliott,

You are right, those green shirts are hideous......


.....


:D ;)

elliott 13-01-2009 11:16 PM
Picture?

Is it said skanky jersey?

pauldrulez 13-01-2009 11:18 PM
Nope, it is the red throwback. No logos. Official and Real.

From the PatriotsProShop :)

Erm... the Phins have Porter right now. Dansby at the Cards. Dawkins at the Eagles. A lot of teams do, but some have some younger players who combine together as a Team rather than the one player.
None of these are leaders of Lewis's caliber in terms of what he offers both on and off the field, day in, day out.

I direct you to the book Next Man Up by John Feinstein.

You read the Michael Lewis one I recommended, right?

pauldrulez 13-01-2009 11:52 PM
He said Ray Lewis ;)

And yes I did read it as I told you when I said Oher would go Number One in the draft when we done the predictions 2 months back ;)

And tbh, I was just naming the first teams that popped into my head.

What about Haynesworth. Or an Urlacher. Or for a future one. Patrick Willis.

I'd buy anything written by Howie though.

Legend...

pauldrulez 14-01-2009 12:05 AM
I cant read the book that doesn't have the word "Belichick" or "Brady" in it.

Neither are in the Index. boo ;)

Yeah, right.

;) We believe you.

Benzhiyi 14-01-2009 12:25 AM
Read the Pete Williams one. It's ok. Reasonably well research but he's a poor imitation of Lewis and Feinstein in terms of his writing style.

Won't be going near that Belicheat book though, sorry.

Given that I linked to a book which consistently highlight's Lewis's leadership qualities, I win. :hi:

pauldrulez 14-01-2009 12:41 AM
Ah.

Its an old book, its out of date. All about Ed Reed now ;)

I love Will Leitch.

The Arizona Cardinals have been so horrible for so long that no media members have even the slightest inkling of respect for them. The majority haven't paid attention to them in two decades and have been waiting for the Cardinals to lose so they don't have to do any more research. The best example of this was Cris Carter, who, on Sunday night, called Cardinals linebacker Karlos Dansby, alternately, "Dansmon," "Dockett" and "Darnell Dansby." (Amusingly, Carter tried to cover his tracks by pointing out that Dansby was "great at Florida State." Dansby went to Auburn; defensive tackle Darnell Dockett went to Florida State.) It's difficult to blame anyone for this. There are 32 teams in the NFL, and each team has 53 roster spots. That's 1,696 players to keep track of. You have to end up ignoring somebody, and for the last 30-some-odd years, the most efficient team to ignore has been the Arizona Cardinals.

...

Did Cardinals fans exist prior to this month?

Surprisingly, yes. When they moved to Arizona in 1988, blind excitement led the locals to sell out Sun Devil Stadium. Then they began to play, which did nothing to help ticket sales.
:D

In NFL when do teams usually wear throwbacks? Is it divisional games? :confused:

In NBA it seems a bit more random, and they have a thing called Hardwood classics too!
