Bruce Pearl’s Tennessee program is under investigation by the NCAA? We’re shocked
Until further notice: ALL programs are dirty. Yes, that includes your school’s. No, that doesn’t excuse it. No, we still don’t care. Get out there and entertain!
“We were surprised and shocked, along with being disappointed. We just never saw it coming. “… JaMarcus was here a lot in June and July, led our players in conditioning drills, then worked with us in summer practice. But I haven’t seen him in a week. From what I hear, talking to his sister, he’s in Houston.”
Doesn’t Houston have the most All-You-Can-Eat buffets in the nation?
And why would anyone be surprised at JaMarcus being out of a job? He didn’t flop. He bombed. And the NFL circles are small; people hear about what goes on elsewhere all the time.

Are you allowed to say ‘damn’ on the radio? Golic is pissed!
September 10th, 2010 at 8:24 AM
i think so, but are there no better options than mike and mike in your area?
tried listening to it today, but all i heard was their crappy commercials and changed the station.
September 10th, 2010 at 8:26 AM
Nope, only station my radio in my office picks up well. Golic is totally blasting the players for their little sign of solidarity last night, its actually pretty entertaining.
September 10th, 2010 at 8:27 AM
It appears work is going to stubbornly insist on getting in the way today, so I expect the other Vikings fans here to hold down the fort. Remember, we held the Saints to 14. Keep the faith in Leslie Frazier.
September 10th, 2010 at 8:28 AM
@CJ: why would he blast the players for their sign of solidarity? He used to be a player. i thought it was a pretty good idea, actually.

Golic is right though. Does anyone care how much Bruce Springsteen or Kiss made in their last concert tour? No. You only care that they give you a good show and that the concert not get canceled.

Good thing Favre doesn’t care about training camp. Its not like getting the timing down with your WR’s is important or anything.

September 10th, 2010 at 8:32 AM
Is he the one that decides AP shouldn’t get the ball in the 2nd half of every game?
September 10th, 2010 at 8:33 AM
Duh, but how many people on here would’ve guessed the Saints would only score 14 at their place on such an “emotional” night, especially after that first drive?
September 10th, 2010 at 8:34 AM
@Ben Franklin–I found him funny, but also loved Scott Linn who played along side him.
Still, he is a much better option than Mike and Mike
September 10th, 2010 at 8:34 AM
Hard to get him the ball when you keep going 3 and out every series.
September 10th, 2010 at 8:35 AM
i sorta do when the price they are paid directly impacts the price of tickets and other purchases made while being entertained…but then again, springsteen and kiss don’t cry about not making a lot of money on their tours like the owners in the NFL do.
September 10th, 2010 at 8:35 AM
Oh hes totally on the players’ side, he made that clear. He just doesnt think there was any point to it. Fans dont care, they just want a deal to get done.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt is awesome.
September 10th, 2010 at 8:42 AM
i think he’s underestimating the fans a little bit, but it’s not like we can expect knockout commentary from Golic in the first place. surprised greenie didn’t get all indignant and shit on the issue, too.
September 10th, 2010 at 8:42 AM
i sorta do when the price they are paid directly impacts the price of tickets and other purchases made while being entertained…but then again, springsteen and kiss don’t cry about not making a lot of money on their tours like the owners in the NFL do.
But the point is that to a fan, there is no concern as to whether or not any musician or actor or any other entertainer gets paid – beyond when someone like Snooki or Kim Kardashian is found to make $1 million or more. If you’re enough of a fan, all you want is to go and enjoy and get your money’s worth.
BTW, ask the NHL how a protracted labor dispute makes fans love you.
September 10th, 2010 at 8:42 AM
This football season is going to be terrible if we have to deal with uppity Saints fans all year. Your team scored two whole touchdowns against a team that was missing half its secondary, and that couldn’t pick up a first down in the second half. Let’s cool it with the fellatio.
September 10th, 2010 at 8:43 AM

Yes, Lord knows that the only response to the first good run in a team’s history should be met with a morose and downcast response. Only fans of big teams get to cheer and gloat.
September 10th, 2010 at 8:47 AM
Cant we just all agree that both teams looked rusty last night and call it a day? Geesh.
September 10th, 2010 at 8:47 AM
Giants marched right down the field in their opening game against the Skins a few years back. then they had 3 john carney fgs the rest of the way. These Thursday Night openers typically aren’t barn burners. Only one I can think of off the top of my head is the New England/Indy game from a few years back.
September 10th, 2010 at 8:47 AM
based on the reaction of the calculator army to the Ryan Howard contract, I’d say this is false.
Because sports fans are more into their teams’ inner workings. And how much is Howard making?
September 10th, 2010 at 8:48 AM
But…but… that would make people use logic and rational thought.
September 10th, 2010 at 8:48 AM
I have enjoyed every single movie he has been in except GI Joe. With that said, Cobra Commander was the only good character.
September 10th, 2010 at 8:50 AM
to me the problem is the owners, multibillionaires, saying they aren’t making all that much money on their franchises when you look at the price of admission, merchandise, and the lucrative TV contracts the owners share and the massive stadiums built in the hundreds of millions of dollars on taxpayer expense.
goodell is nothing but a mouthpeice for the owners (which is not surprising since he was voted in by the owners), he has no interest in how the game changes for the fans or the players.
September 10th, 2010 at 8:51 AM
But…but… that would make people use logic and rational thought.
And that’s un-American!

September 10th, 2010 at 8:58 AM
Childress is an idiot. He took Beamer off the top of the worst coaching performance of the week list.
So true. Run on first down, run on 2nd down, and chances are you won’t be looking at 3rd and long. Give those big boys (especially after McKinnie had to be carted off with a hurt finger) a chance to push the Saints D line out of the way, although their fullback kept getting manhandled by a puny linebacker.
Give it to peterson on 8 of 10 plays, and on the other 2 plays, let Harvin run it. Especially when you’re winning. I wonder if Favre was checking out of runs.
September 10th, 2010 at 8:59 AM
I kinda like it whenever someone yells at Marcellus Wiley, no matter what the reason.
September 10th, 2010 at 8:59 AM

Yep. Going to be destroyed. Can’t wait to read about how many Bentleys get repossessed next year.
September 10th, 2010 at 9:00 AM
I really don’t know, and I refuse to look it up. But I guarantee you there are those out there who have it down to the last penny.
I don’t think it was how much he’s making this year that was rankling people. I think it was how much they guaranteed he would be making 6 years from now that really got people’s goat. Especially since he had been under contract for 2 more years before they started negotiating the new contract.
And I don’t watch or follow baseball. That’s just a taste of how much that got talked about when it was happening. I’m the proof to Darrell’s point.

Do the Jets have their own space-faring laser-shooting planet-destroying warbird? Until they do, Ray-Ray still #1.
Run on first down, run on 2nd down, and chances are you won’t be looking at 3rd and long
More to the point, it made sense if you thought Favre was rusty and you wanted to avoid 3rd and longs that could result in the QB getting hit. It was so weird watching them in the 4th quarter and airing it out.

I find it amazing how their show is supposed to be the flagship station of their entire radio network, yet the writing on that show and the production values are no better than the average local morning show.

It didn’t look like it but you still have to be able to throw SOMEwhat. Once the Saints took away Shiancoe, nobody else could get open. And Bernard Berrian sucks. That can’t be understated.
But yes, for fucks sake get the ball to Peterson. And Harvin. The really retarded call was 3rd and 3 shotgun deep out to Berrian.

The really retarded call was 3rd and 3 shotgun deep out to Berrian.
That center had a bad game.
At some point, isn’t not having a QB in camp to blame for a lot of those timing problems with wide receivers? Collinsworth was bagging on Harvin quite a bit (and if that truly was man coverage he sat down in, fine) but a whole lot of the blame for the rustiness has to land at Favre’s feet, for not being in camp at all, and then looking like an old man in saggy trousers out there.

It’s doomsday-ish, but things are going to change and not for the better. The problems just continue to pop up and the world just keeps chugging like there are few cares in the world. The Greek problem is nearing the end. It will be a good test case for others that are nearing the Greek problem (California?).

I remember that game. Ray didn’t exactly forcefully greet Brandon Jacobs in the endzone on that goaline run either. But are the Jets good enough to shut him up the way the Giants did?

I will never understand why networks and shows get rid of people who are extremely popular and keep those who everyone hates. How Skip Bayless has managed to survive for so long on that show is beyond me. It’s like John Morris on MTV, I have never heard of one person who likes him and he obviuosly does not fit with the MTV crowd, yet he has been there forever.
September 10th, 2010 at 9:20 AM
No idea what Maggianos is. The Italian chains up here are Macaroni Grill (meh) and Biaggi’s (actually pretty good).
September 10th, 2010 at 9:20 AM
I really like the Jets run game, but it isn’t what that Giants run game was back in 08. Sooooo, no.
September 10th, 2010 at 9:21 AM
please. ray talked so much shit before the giants game a few years ago and then the giants ran for over 200 yards against that defense. talking trash doesn’t mean jackshit.
2008 yea. good memory. looking forward to the Ravens vs J-E-T-S on monday night
September 10th, 2010 at 9:21 AM
i agree with this, but at the same time, favre showed flashes last night, and, even tho he kinda sucked, it’s better to have him in rhythm and sharp later in the season.

September 10th, 2010 at 9:23 AM
At some point, isn’t not having a QB in camp to blame for a lot of those timing problems with wide receivers?
Whose fault is that? If the Vikings had pressed the issue and tried to get him into camp, he’d have retired (again).

September 10th, 2010 at 9:28 AM
I think it was Bart Scott who had the hotsauce quote, actually. All I know is he and Ray got their shit pushed in by a bunch of finesse offensive linemen when it mattered most that year.
September 10th, 2010 at 9:29 AM
favre showed flashes last night, and, even tho he kinda sucked, it’s better to have him in rhythm and sharp later in the season.
didn’t he look really old, though. Like he hadn’t been doing anything for 3 months until last Wednesday, when he laced ‘em back up? He was wearing saggy britches, and after the first time he got hit, he looked like Tommy Lee Jones in Old Country.
September 10th, 2010 at 9:29 AM
In my entire life, i have never read anything more untrue. There was a 0.00% chance he wasn’t coming back this year. Actually that percentage may be high.
What’s the last training camp he’s been to? The year with the Jets? The last year with the Packers?
I always thought he’d return too, but I have zero doubt in his desire to not go through training camp ever again.

Nope, prior to the Ravens-Colts playoff game in 2006. Set he was gonna “pour some hotsauce” on Joseph Addai.” He should’ve mentioned something about Dominic Rhodes, that way he wouldn’t have been pulling his cleats out of his jersey in the fourth quarter.

For SC and any others who were wondering abaout this dreamgirl, from Wikipedia
In her latest TV appearance was on January 23, 2010, when Andrews became co-host for the “16th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards” Red Carpet Show for TNT with People deputy managing editor Peter Castro.*[4]
The saddest part of her bio:
After 17 months on Cold Pizza the show began cutting both the airtime of Andrews and Kit Hoover. In an attempt to become more sports-oriented rather than a blend of sports, pop culture, and entertainment, the show dropped Andrews and Hoover altogether in March 2005. They were replaced by Dana Jacobson.

Vez- Getting rid of Kit Hoover was the right idea. Thea, not so much. However, if that move isn’t made we probably don’t have the Dana Jacobson moment of sucking down a bottle of Goose and hurling racial epithets at a crowd of Notre Dame fans. Or was it hurling Notre Dame epithets at a crowd of minorities? I forget.

Cabrera leads the league in on-base percentage, is second in slugging percentage, second in batting average, second in home runs, first in RBIs, third in walks (first intentional) and second in Wins Above Replacement.

Cano – 26 HR, 95 RBI, 93 R, .318 BA, 380 OBP, .542 SLG, .922 OPS, 12 IBB
