A bunch of my teammates are going over for 2 weeks to watch and play a few matches. It just wasn’t an option for me with the new baby.
I’ll make sure to continually remind him of that as he grows up.
November 1st, 2010 at 8:57 AM
Huh? Nobody here’s liked him. It’s just that nobody openly wrote a “Fire Brad Childress” column before. By the way, I’m 99% sure that column was actually written by my dad.
November 1st, 2010 at 8:57 AM
Peter King is the latest writer to say Wade Phillips should be fired. What took him so long?
he was so stupid yesterday on FNIA, saying that “if” phillips got fired, then either Garrett or DeCamilis would probably be named interim. As if they’d just name some random guy off the street. That’s the only two choices (and both are bad choices, which is why Wade is still around).
November 1st, 2010 at 8:58 AM
Irish, I’m a little pissed. I got home from a rough night at a Halloween party at 12:45 pm yesterday and went onto CBS to set my picks and I was locked out. Why lock us out of the picks before the games even start at 1:00 pm? The first time I missed the picks it was my fault, but I was there before the games started yesterday and was not allowed to pick. This ended my comeback attempt and any reason to continue picking.
November 1st, 2010 at 8:58 AM
Huh? Nobody here’s liked him. It’s just that nobody openly wrote a “Fire Brad Childress” column before. By the way, I’m 99% sure that column was actually written by my dad.
I wonder if the Vikings defense feels insulted, after those first two first and goal downs, where Brady just laid on the ground to eat up clock, and then New England very confidently punched it in on 3rd and goal (except maybe they didn’t quite make it). But still, to not even try for two downs. That was something.
November 1st, 2010 at 9:00 AM
but I was there before the games started yesterday and was not allowed to pick.
you were super busy between Monday at 11.59pm and Sunday morning, moments before the games started? You couldn’t spare 45 seconds any other time, and that’s somehow Irish’s fault?
November 1st, 2010 at 9:00 AM
Cleet Im pretty sure thats how it is in all CBS pick em leagues. I know theyre locked out by at least noon in my office league, because thats when I print out my picks if I’m going to the bar.
November 1st, 2010 at 9:00 AM
I don’t understand that. I think the Pats overthought that. If they just score the TD right away, Minnesota has no timeouts and is down 10. They should have tried to punch it in right away. But Green-Ellis was definitely in on that cartwheel.
November 1st, 2010 at 9:00 AM
sorry to hear you are pissed Cleet, picks lock an hour before the games start. nothing has changed. sorry for your loss. no Dwight Howard jersey for you for winning the pick em. Thursday games start soon, so people will need to pick before that
November 1st, 2010 at 9:01 AM
Anyone else catch Tom “hmmmm” Jackson’s opinion of Randy Moss’ press conference yesterday? After Moss said he wouldn’t talk to the media to the rest of the season, Jackson said that it’s refreshing to have a guy like Randy Moss with no filter and he always knows what Moss is thinking. I think he Emmitt Smith’d himself.
November 1st, 2010 at 9:02 AM
That is correct from my experience. Survivor and Pick ‘Em on cbs sites means a noon lock time.
November 1st, 2010 at 9:02 AM
It’s not Irish’s fault, I just think it is dumb to have it locked at 12:00 instead of 1:00. If it can’t be changed because that’s what the settings are fine, I just don’t see the point. I didn’t even get up until after noon. It was a rough night.

Cassius Clay liked it well enough.
And either Wade should get fired or there should be some fines, suspensions and maybe even a player getting cut or two. Cause that Cowboys team quit on Wade and on that game in front of God and all of Texas Stadium.
November 1st, 2010 at 9:05 AM
Like I said, not your fault man. At least I had a better weekend than J12.
Just make it a vote on a punch ballot, they will struggle with it and the hanging chads will count as a “no vote”.
November 1st, 2010 at 9:05 AM

Bookmark it because it happens once every, well… never.
Boston and its fans deserve some credit. The Pats knocked Favre out of the game and subsequently booed him as he was carted off in the fetal position. The Celtics knocked out the Cavs and had 21K+ chanting New York Knicks at that one guy that gives up at the first sign of adversity. And the Thank You Kessel chant by Bruins fans last week, a brilliant job. Good work, filthy inhabitants of New England.

There’s schools here where they subject kids to random search before sporting events and dances. Becoming more and more common. Breathalyzer seems a bit much unless there’s evidence that it’s necessary.
November 1st, 2010 at 9:12 AM
I have to disagree. Stylez was most likely out in the Glendale/Goodyear meaning the quality would be weak to very weak. Scottsdale is another story.
November 1st, 2010 at 9:13 AM
I’m simply saying that you should be able to pick up until the games start.
November 1st, 2010 at 9:13 AM
BTW, my sports weekend was awesome: Saints won, Hornets won, Arsenal won.
November 1st, 2010 at 9:16 AM
I’m simply saying that you should be able to pick up until the games start.
no, you were complaining that you didn’t have time to make your picks, and that you were pissed the system fucked you over, and now you quit because of that. Maybe you can accept a little personal responsibility for failing to do a simple task in the course of an entire week.
November 1st, 2010 at 9:16 AM
but it should also be noted that he played well before the injury.
Just well enough to lose
But that’s not how it’s being spun. It’s all about Favre the warrior, stoically soldiering on through pain and through losses.
BTW, are we going to talk of Shanahan benching McNabb?
November 1st, 2010 at 9:17 AM
I bet they fire him before they head to the Detroit or Little Caesars Bowl. He’ll last the regular season. He made that PSU QB look like a Davey O’Brien candidate.

I almost, ALMOST was feeling bad for him when I saw him on the cart in the fetal position. And then when the report came back ‘laceration on the chin’ I just busted out laughing.
November 1st, 2010 at 9:21 AM
I was pissed, and said so because my feelings are you should be able to make your picks up until the game starts. It shouldn’t matter when the picks are made during the week as long as they were before the games begin. I stated so to Irish, he said sucks for me, I told him it was not his fault. There really is no reason for me to keep picking since there is no chance of winning now. Now you are trying to make a big deal out of it because we all know this is how you get yourself off during the day.
November 1st, 2010 at 9:22 AM
Their defense was even worse than I could have imagined, and it was glorious. But hey, anytime you can get a defensive coordinator who ran a perennial power into the ground in the weakest BCS conference you have to make that hire.
November 1st, 2010 at 9:22 AM
Does RRs failure at Michigan demonstrate how difficult a conference like the big ten is? Or does it mean the big east is really terrible. He brought the personnel and system and has more resources yet none of the success.

I seriously thought he had dislocated his jaw or something and they had to hold it in place. I mean, if you’re going to be that melodramatic about a cut, you might as well go all out like Ric Flair and start screaming, “AAAHHHH! OH GOD!! AAHHH OH GOD NO!! AAAAHHHH!”

November 1st, 2010 at 9:30 AM
I’m no Favre fan, but there’s a lot of pain that lands somewhere between laceration and broken jaw. That looked like it really hurt when it happened. I can’t imagine his jaw joint feels good today.

I’ve been getting my ass handed to me since week 1. And I feel stupid losing every week. But quitting is for quitters. You can participate in 40 seconds on Tuesday morning, and then go back later and refine your picks. The excuse that you didn’t have time is bullshit, and the conclusion that you now have to quit since you have no chance of winning is also bullshit. The guys who are beating your ass are beating your ass, but there’s victory to be had every single week. You can win an asterisk for a weekly win.

November 1st, 2010 at 9:44 AM
If Nebraska wins out (they should) they will be 12-1. If OU wins out (should…but not a gimme) they will be 12-1. I think the BCS bowls would take a 12-2 NEB or OU over a 12-1 Mizzou team.

but you have no chance of winning, and therefore no reason to continue picking. Quitting is the righteous move, so you don’t have to say other people beat you.

Obviously you’ve forgotten how fat Taguchi is.
November 1st, 2010 at 9:50 AM
I’m feeling much better now that things are back to normal. I think the team is still playing well but the weakness that everyone knew existed (nobody on the team other than Kessel is a bonafide scoring threat) is costing them games. Thinking they’ll be somewhere around 9th-11th in the conference.
November 1st, 2010 at 9:50 AM
Kinda sucks since OU lost to Mizzou. Here’s to knocking off a couple top 6 teams this weekend, Husker. You only won by 14 though… pffft.

That is surprising. Utah has played some bad teams this year and TCU blasted them last year. I think it’ll be much closer this go around, but I would think TCU would win this week.

I’m glad I was so fucking drunk on Saturday after the Cocktail Party that I barely remember watching the fourth quarter of Michigan-Penn State. Greg Robinson should be tarred, feathered then beheaded in the streets of Ann Arbor.

Or a gray peen.
November 1st, 2010 at 9:53 AM
wait, were they actually USING the toilet when the bugs crawled out or just standing by the sinks or something, SG?
November 1st, 2010 at 9:53 AM
these are bowl games? funny…i thought they were just predictions.
i got a crazy idea…lets wait until there are actual bowl games to criticize before we use a sportswriter’s projections as ammo against the BCS.
November 1st, 2010 at 9:53 AM
Yup. Orange Bowl took Kansas over Mizzou because they knew the fans would come out in full force for Kansas.

November 1st, 2010 at 9:55 AM
Yeah, you can shut up about that at any point today. Hope that referee got an assist on the 4th goal in the 1st period.
/who skates in the middle of the goddamn ice?!??!?
True… 2007. I was in Vegas for when they played Kansas. The Chase Daniel vs Todd Reesing super fantastic no defense 3 hour special.
November 1st, 2010 at 9:55 AM
if you smoke pot on tv, can you get arrested for it?
and do sportswriters just throw bill simmons into their articles just because they know it will get more readers than normal?
November 1st, 2010 at 9:55 AM
If it was a rat crawling out of the toilet you could at least see it coming out first before sitting down to pee. A bug? That thing could start crawling on you before you even knew it was there.
I can’t even begin to explain how skeeved out I am right now.
November 1st, 2010 at 9:55 AM
I have a hard time believing Cousins has that poor of a game again, so Michigan St. takes the Rose imo. Sconnie or OSU getting an invite to Capital One.
November 1st, 2010 at 9:56 AM
Well, it is either going to be Pitt or WVU for the Big East…and both teams suck. The ACC needed Free Shoe to win that league. If VT wins it again, it’ll be another god awful bowl game. If Michigan State wins out, they will be in the running for a BCS bowl, and with all due respect to Sparty, is MSU really a BCS team? They would be one based solely on beating Wisconsin.
November 1st, 2010 at 9:56 AM
I won’t spoil The Walking Dead. But I’ll say this… it was the best premiere I’ve seen in a long time. Absolutely incredible.
November 1st, 2010 at 9:56 AM
Walking Dead was in fact awesome.I like the part when the kid says something an uneducated person would and the father snaps “what is thast coming out of your mouth?!” Like just because their is a zombie invasion doesn’t mean you can forget proper grammar. Oh and all the guilt free zombie killing was the awesome. Great new show. AMC is awesome
November 1st, 2010 at 9:56 AM
You can switch conference champions and at-large teams and they’re not going to get much better. In fact, they’ll probably be worse.
November 1st, 2010 at 9:56 AM
extremely. i fucking hate oregon so fucking much right now.
November 1st, 2010 at 9:57 AM
no. there’s no proof it’s pot.
November 1st, 2010 at 9:57 AM
They are still in a pretty good position. They are tied with NC State and Maryland for the division lead and they still play Maryland and I doubt the Wolfpack are going to win out.
November 1st, 2010 at 9:57 AM
sportsgal, this is another reason I’m glad I don’t have to sit down to pee.
November 1st, 2010 at 9:58 AM

or we could install a corollary that if your offense holds up multicolored posters because you’re not a good enough coach TO FUCKING TEACH YOUR PLAYERS THE FUCKING PLAYS you shouldn’t be given access to a bowl game.

November 1st, 2010 at 9:59 AM
Yep. I’m hooked.
And…SPOILER…the juxtaposition of the guy unable to shoot his wife while the Sherrif went to kill the half-zombie was a very well done scene. Great ending too.

i didn’t get to see it…i was stuck with OSU/minny which was over after 1.
November 1st, 2010 at 9:59 AM
I’m guessing the epic Luck/Locker matchup will get its own post?
November 1st, 2010 at 9:59 AM
Whoa, whoa, whoa there. Let’s not forget it’s a 4 way race for the B10 title as it stands. I’m going to be rooting real hard for the Illini to knock off the Badgers. I think it’s the only shot I’ve got at them losing another game this season.
MSU could lose again even though they’ve got a pretty easy road ahead. The game in Happy Valley is really the only shot at it and it’s a long one.
November 1st, 2010 at 10:00 AM
Still well within the realm of possibility.
November 1st, 2010 at 10:00 AM
Oh, except for that one part… you know that one part with the proper grammar guy in full sniper mode. It was pretty gripping stuff.
November 1st, 2010 at 10:01 AM

November 1st, 2010 at 10:01 AM
Yeah, you can shut up about that at any point today. Hope that referee got an assist on the 4th goal in the 1st period.
I will not (until Nov 7), it might be another 10 months before they get another one.
Thinking they’ll be somewhere around 9th-11th in the conference.
If they get some secondary scoring they might challenge for 8th, Lundqvist was pretty solid on Saturday night.
November 1st, 2010 at 10:01 AM
Gonna have to wait awhile for that seeing as how they don’t play this season
November 1st, 2010 at 10:01 AM
Well, lotta wackiness down in those sewers.
November 1st, 2010 at 10:01 AM
Tiebreaker for the Big 10 is the BCS standings, so Sparty needs 3 teams to lose to get to the Rose.

November 1st, 2010 at 10:03 AM
The only thing I hate about the BCS, besides its lack of a Plus-1, is the automatic tie-ins. College football is cyclical and the big bowl games should be open to the idea that people do not want to watch the Big East or ACC play football. It destroys their brand kind of like…thinking…reaching…Crystal Clear Pepsi?
November 1st, 2010 at 10:03 AM
announcers were trying desperately to talk up the minnesota coaching job
November 1st, 2010 at 10:03 AM
The only knock I have for The Walking Dead: the southern accents are pretty horrendous. Wasn’t a fan of the main character’s partner hooking up with his wife. I’m assuming the partner led the wife to believe he was dead.
November 1st, 2010 at 10:04 AM
Also, anyone else think the first lady could post her husband up and possibly dunk on him?
November 1st, 2010 at 10:04 AM
Thought it was head to head? If they didn’t play against each other then it goes to BCS tiebreaker.
November 1st, 2010 at 10:04 AM
Hey dirt, you know your theory on Percy Harvin? I think somebody wrote something that’s somewhat in agreement with it.
November 1st, 2010 at 10:04 AM

It’s head-to-head if it’s just two teams…if the season ends with Wisconsin-MSU-Iowa all with 1 loss you need something else since they all went 1-1 against the others
November 1st, 2010 at 10:05 AM
Needs more Spoiler Alert.
Did they hook up? Or were they just together? And the accents are terrible because those actors are British/Australian.
/ can’t tell the difference. Racist?
November 1st, 2010 at 10:05 AM
SPOILER
Yeah, I thought that part was a bit forced and unnecessary. I don’t think it would be unreasonable for him to think his partner was dead though.
November 1st, 2010 at 10:05 AM
Sorry, meant Illini to knock off Sparty. Badgers only loss would come in Ann Arbor if Bielema has a MAJOR brainfart and lets Tolzien throw more than 10 times. I suppose jNWU could as well, but that’s a even longer shot.
November 1st, 2010 at 10:06 AM
The Orange Bowl has to hate life right now. They are stuck with getting an ACC team, a Big East team or both. That’s terrible.
November 1st, 2010 at 10:07 AM
Yep. I was assuming that there will be 3 teams tied… Sparty likely doesn’t lose again. Wisky doesn’t lose again. OSU beats the pants off of Iowa.
November 1st, 2010 at 10:07 AM
They could go many ways with that angle.
Yeah, that’s what I was getting at without trying to get at it and avoid the spoilers. Dr. Tom summed it up in No. 171.
November 1st, 2010 at 10:07 AM
God dammit, a show premiers and doesnt end till 11:30 last night, and we areally have to have fucking spoilers in here at 10 the next morning? COME ON, MAN!
November 1st, 2010 at 10:07 AM
It’s possible. The large contingent of deluded fans in this city keep talking about Brad Richards. Not holding my breath on that one.
I’ve chosen to focus on the positives so far this year. Goalies have been good, especially Gustavsson. He looks like a long-term answer for them. Luke Schenn has been a force. He’s making great decisions with the puck and smashing guys all over the ice without taking penalties.
November 1st, 2010 at 10:07 AM
Illinois already lost to Michigan State
Rough start to week, eh guy?
November 1st, 2010 at 10:08 AM
That’s odd for a series that’s filmed in Atlanta.
November 1st, 2010 at 10:08 AM
The ACC in the BCS is Crystal Pepsi-bad idea, but ultimately not brand diminishing. Also pretty tasty in limited amounts
The Big East in the BCS is New Coke- worst idea in the history, should have never happened, the only thing that could actually hurt Coke.
November 1st, 2010 at 10:08 AM
Wisconsin is notorious for shitting the bed against Michigan, no matter how bad they are.
November 1st, 2010 at 10:08 AM
I’ll be curious to see if Iowa can leapfrog Sparty if we both win out. They play a bunch of bottom feeders the rest of the way while we still have OSU. If the Hawkeyes knock off OSU, I think they can leapfrog Sparty because the computers would love it.
MSU would be pissed to be 11-1 and have a 10-2 team jump them.
/hope the team is just focused on winning in Bloomington this weekend
November 1st, 2010 at 10:09 AM

November 1st, 2010 at 10:11 AM
Even you don’t believe this. Neither does Spencer. That game will be decided by no more than a touchdown. Did you not watch the Wisconsin game or did you buy one of those Men in Black things.
November 1st, 2010 at 10:11 AM
It’s possible. The large contingent of deluded fans in this city keep talking about Brad Richards. Not holding my breath on that one.
Via trade or free agency next summer? I’d wait until next summer if I were them, if he goes it’s going to cost someone a pretty penny at the deadline.
Goalies have been good, especially Gustavsson. He looks like a long-term answer for them. Luke Schenn has been a force. He’s making great decisions with the puck and smashing guys all over the ice without taking penalties.
Hard not to be a step up from Toskala, but I don’t think any of the losses this year can be pinned on the goalies. I’m a Schenn fan, I think he lost confidence last year. One of the ‘problems’ with him playing well is that they are paying way to much to Komisarek to be a 5/6.
November 1st, 2010 at 10:11 AM
MSU could only blame themselves for scheduling ND, FAU, Western Mich, and Northern Colorado in the non-conference.

The ACC is being dominated by a team that lost to Boise State and James Madison in back to back weeks. JMU, a team that is 1-4 in it’s own 1AA conference. The only difference between the Big East and ACC is that the ACC has a bunch of artist formerly known as teams. The Canes and Noles are great only on reunion days.
November 1st, 2010 at 10:17 AM
Tbl needs a special spoiler code that blocks the comment until your cursor is on it….like at IMDB.com

More of a problem is that Komisarek plays like a 5/6. That was a horrid signing from day one. He’s terrible with the puck AND he gambles. If he would stick to playing a simple, smart game, he might be good enough to play in the top 4 but he’s shown no signs of being able to do that.

I thought they overpaid him the day the contract was announced and to bring in Beauchemin and Phaneuf made it even worse. There is no way to move that contract without taking back something equally as bad.

It’s usually the ACC folks who protest the loudest about it. My guess is to hide the fact that instead of Tech, Miami, FSU, and BC making the ACC a better football conference, joining the ACC has instead diminished the level of football at those schools.
