    Tom Brady

    Brady surpassed Ray Finkle's arch-nemesis- Marino yesterday on the all-time (passing) TD list, moving into third. He still probably needs a couple productive regular, & post, seasons to catch Favre and P. Manning.

    Kirk Cousins

    Yeah, and his good performance included a beautiful long TD to D. Jackson. Not only can Cousins stretch the field, but he's accurate in the shorter passing game. I was comparing stats last night, only Romo and Rivers are starting QBs w/higher completion %s, and all 3 are completing 68+%. Also...

    Va Tech has hired Fuente (from Memphis) to replace Beamer. What is the caste profile on Fuente (?) Do you guys think (in terms of color-blind fairness), this hire will be an upgrade, downgrade, or push from Beamer. I have to plead ignorance on Fuente, curious if you guys can shed some light...

    2015-16 NHL Season

    Fair enough. I tried to convey that point in my earlier post.. Bettman is hired to make the owners money. And he has been working toward that end when he set out to expand hockey south & west. I think he was instrumental in getting hockey transplanted in the late 90s, to Arizona & North...

    Kristaps Porzingis

    I love what this kid is doing, but he's only been in the league for a few weeks. This is one of my main criticisms of the DWF 'culture'. How quickly fans will boo (like they did when the Porzingis draft was made), and conversely how quickly they will praise. Some people are already likening...

    2015 Stanford Cardinal

    Yeah, McCaffrey has an uphill battle in the Heisman race. On the front nine he was being overshadowed by Fournette, now on the back nine, he's getting overshadowed by Alabama's Henry. But if you look objectively at the stats.. McCaffrey is leading the entire country in all-purpose yards (as of...

    2015-16 NHL Season

    Personally I'm not a fan of Bettman's. And I know a lot of fans resent that Bettman's not a lifelong hockey guy (he was hired for his business acumen, not his hockey pedigree). But if I put myself in an owner's shoes, I probably appreciate that Bettman has been instrumental in expanding the...

    2015-16 NHL Season

    Celtic, I remember you commenting last season that you're a relatively new NHL spectator.. but I can't remember if I asked who you follow (?) You have a team you're in to.. I've been following the Ovechkin pursuit for most Russian NHLer goals. During the Caps-Flyers game, he put one in, it...

    Nick Foles

    EP, I also like Foles. But so far his numbers have been relatively paltry this season (only 7 passing TDs as of mid-season). I view them in this context tho: St Louis is a tough, physical running team right now. They are 4th in the league in rushing yards, & close to the bottom in total points...

    Happy Christopher Columbus day!

    Yeah, but that fact is irrelevant to the politicized term Native American.. My estimation, Native American is used by cultural-Marxists & ethnocentric activists to suggest/contrast Indian tribes as the true & eternal owners of the New World.. against Europeans, the eternal trespassers &...

    2015 college football news

    Heretic, true. But a coach has to initially work with what he inherits. And I think a disciplined program (even discipline that may seem uncomfortably petty to modern players) benefits young guys of all races. I've resented the way Tom Coughlin has been ridiculed over the years for his...

    Happy Christopher Columbus day!

    Carch., thanks for starting this thread. Columbus is one of my favorite historical figures. That said, I don't believe the quote u posted is an authentic quote from Columbus. I think it has been erroneously attributed to him over the years. I will offer a quote about Columbus, from his...

    Maryland terminates Coach Edsall. I was rooting for Edsall and his program. I appreciated Edsall's old school approach, was reported when he came to Maryland he instituted dress code & conduct standards. But truth is Maryland hasn't been relevant for 10+ years. They had a couple good bowl wins...

    2015-16 NHL Season

    Nice.. I got a chance to watch the Avs home opener on tv Thursday night. They opened the 3rd period with a 4-1 lead on Minnesota. The NBC crew calling the game were expounding on the Avalanche' new found toughness & approach, etc. Then Colorado proceeded to give up 4 goals in a 5 minute span...

    Holy Bible

    Netflix uploaded a documentary Patterns of Evidence: Exodus. The film maker puts forth a theory that the traditional interpretation of Biblical Exodus was real, but lacks historical evidence because it has been misplaced in the timeline of Egyptian history. I think he makes a good, thorough...

    Tom Brady

    Greatness is subjective. But I think there are essential must-haves on most football fans' greatest QB list. Montana, Otto Graham, Elway, P.Manning etc.. Great leaders, with championships to their credit. But my opinion, Brady is the greatest QB ever.. 6 conference championships, 4 Super Bowl...

    2015 Stanford Cardinal

    Hogan is legit.. and yeah I've seen some of the unfair, hyper-critical scouting of his throwing motion, and (inexplicably) his accuracy. The kid completed 2/3rds of his passes last year, 61% the preceding season. Hogan completed almost 80% of his passes (& zero INTs) tonight in road win vs. SC...

    Seahawks Player (Sherman) Lashes Out at #BLM Leader for Misappropriating His Image

    Dan, I like your vintage Colts avatar.. If this is Sherman, I appreciate his candor & perspective. But the writing raises questions for his cultural-Marxist cheerleaders.. Understood, we all make spelling/grammar mistakes when passionately posting on hot button issues. But Sherman can't spell...

    Seahawks Player (Sherman) Lashes Out at #BLM Leader for Misappropriating His Image

    It would be cool if Sherman is taking a public stance against BLM bigotry.. but has he come out verbally and confirmed this is his writing (?) Because he spelled Stanford wrong (STANDford).. Have a feeling this might be the unsolicited handiwork of a DWF apologist, trying to rehab Sherman's...

    Miss Georgia Wins Miss America – She’s a Sheeple

    In defense of Ms. Georgia, the AP is reporting after the pageant she stated, 'It was kind of a funky question to ask..' A fair point, unless she realizes virtually everything on tv is calculated, cultural-Marxist propaganda.. In this case, trying to further slander Brady, the alleged (and...

    2015 Marshall Thundering Herd

    Watched first 3 quarters of Marshall-Purdue. Birdsong had a decent debut. There was some typical Week 1 rust, but he completed almost 2/3rds of his passes, with a pair of TDs. Birdsong also had a killer stiff arm on a score, where he shook off a Boilermaker. Beating a Big Ten team is a...

    2015 Michigan Wolverines

    Watched Michigan-Utah in it's entirety last night. Michigan's TE Jake Butt had a nice game.. 8 catches for almost a hundred yards, & a great TD grab (Butt elevated up over double coverage, and muscled down the catch). He looked Gronk-like at times. I'm optimistic about the Harbaugh-era...

    Kirk Cousins

    (I wasn't able to directly quote Thrashen's post or photo).. but that's a helluva duo.. Jared and Robert Griffin. Subway scored a coup with those castings. I've read that Subway's sales multiplied during the years Jared was their spokes-pervert, but I hated the sales pitch. They scooped a slob...
