Yeah, it sucks. I really felt bad for him. Who knows if it was the only time, either.............It would be nice if one of the vets did that, but I doubt they did. I don't even think Corto ever played a down at linebacker anyway - he was all special teams.

That first wall of words called a paragraph just ruled it out for me.

That worked out great in that not only were the old guys fresh for the finals, but wow did that develop depth!

Yeah, it really sets things up to burn your best fans, if it goes that way. There are some teams, I think the Bears and big market clubs, where the PSLs did go up, but I bet for most teams, they will not.

I don't get it, either. On one hand, I'd like a new stadium, because I assume that would come with a long term ironclad lease. On the other hand, PSLs and higher ticket prices scare me. I'm fine with paying them, but I wonder how many people will be.

Great answer. You admit it's embarrassing, so it doesn't really matter what the strategy was, but I watched the game, and read about it after, and that was the reason given for it. But, hey you were wrong about the three minute thing, so I don't blame you for trying not to screw up again. Wait, I've got a great thing to call you - Gatorman! How is that, Peace?

He's also the owner of the team.

You guys should really do your homework to try to catch up with me: The typical length of an injury period is 3 minutes. http://www.football-bible.com/soccer-info/soccer-stoppage-time.html Not that it matters how much time is put on, since the ref has his secret timing device in his pocket.

This is why I didn't ask the same question!

So weird how last year Manu was over the hill and done, per everybody watching, and now he does this!

Funny that in our past discussions/arguments regarding soccer, I always said that you're a good guy (along with AJZepp). I said that was probably because you came to it late, and weren't ingrained with the dbaggery of it all. I won't be saying that again with you calling me a tool, etc. You've either joined the dbags or having a bad day.

I didn't write this: A desperate Brazil relied upon an array of amateur dramatics to run out the clock. Defender Erika was suddenly struck by an injury requiring prolonged treatment and the arrival of the Brazilian stretcher. This stretcher was evidently gifted with the kind of miracle healing powers traditionally only seen on religious telethons. Within seconds, she had leapt up and raced back onto the field to receive slaps on the back from her teammates and a yellow card from the referee. Then what was the reason for what you even admit was embarrassing? I know you don't want to explain it. Could it be because you can't?

Dayton? Which is where he went and I know Gruden. Who else?

The year or two that Jon Corto played for the Bills, he had a show on with Brad Riter. I just remember it was bye week, or maybe just the usual Tuesday off day. I think the show was on a Wed. night. And, Brad asked him what he did the day before, and he said the veteran linebackers made the rookie linebackers take them out for a steak dinner that cost thousands of dollars..............The dinner was at one of the top steak houses in Manhattan!! So, not only did they have to pay this expensive dinner, they had to pay for the plane ride, taxis, all that. Corto was kind of depressed. He said "I don't make that much money to be doing that." The main hazer seemed to be Kawika Mitchell. He was making a few million, while Corto was making a couple hundred thousand or whatever the minimum was, and knew he wasn't going to be a long time veteran at any point.

I asked the same question on some other thread the other day. I can't picture this scenario ever before. What thread was this on?

Isn't espn and abc broadcasting the World Cup? They've been trying to pump soccer for years. And isn't this where they say 3 minutes, etc. and then nobody really knows when that three minutes is really up, because it's totally up to the ref? I see the Swiss won a game in stoppage time yesterday. How much stoppage time you might ask? Funny, but three minutes is the answer: Haris Seferović (#9) Switzerland 2 - 1 90+3' Soccer is so stupid you can't even paste a simple picture from their "Box score" The only important thing is the last thing - 3'

It's three minutes every time I watch. An occasional 4 minute one. I've never seen 5.........If you don't think that Brazil chick is faking it, you're hopeless. From soccer ass kissing espn: A desperate Brazil relied upon an array of amateur dramatics to run out the clock.

It's always the same - 3 minutes! It would have been three minutes if she did this or didn't do it.

She faked an injury to take time off the clock. If you're defending that bull ****, I don't know what to say. Pulled something? Are you talking about a muscle or a prank?

Yeah, I'm being a tool............I found exactly what I watched. This was the game where eventually Abby Wambach scored real late on a header - a very famous play - to put them into the finals. I'll let anybody be the judge on this one:

I was watching a Women's World Cup game the last time around and saw that happen with the stretcher. Literally, she got off and went back in the game.............I thought I had seen the craziest thing ever. It sounds like it's a common occurrence. What a joke that is! I've thought the same thing about the bicycle kick. Every once in awhile you see somebody put that highlight here or somewhere to prove the greatness of soccer, and I wonder just how much soccer I"d have to watch in order to actually see that live.

You're not doing a good job of defending your game! It really is the lamest way to decide a game that I can think of...........It makes the NHL shootout (which I hate) look like it has integrity. Maybe they could do corner kicks until somebody scored. At least it would involve skill and not just a lucky guess by the keeper.

The thing is the bad news (more layoffs, etc.) used to outnumber the good news story by wide margins. And, now it seems the good news story have turned the tables. There was an article yesterday about 17,000 jobs in the Medical Corridor.

I know they tried sudden death (I don't think in WC), but didn't they say everybody just played too cautiously then? The Golden Goal or whatever it was called.

Damn, no wonder it sucked. I must have been watching a high school game. Looking it up, it must have been the semis. I remember Germany being in it.
