The league must be cracking down on this. It was called against one of the dolphins lineman twice, and it was called against pittsburgh at least once if not twice. They line up like that all the time, but I have never seen it called as many times in all my years watching football as I did this weekend in the 3 games I watched.

I'll ask around some of my dolphins fan friends in Fla. to see. I am a transplant from fla and have been a dolphins fan for life and was at that game also. Even though we lost that was one of the most exciting things I have ever witnessed live or on tv. I had a runninng bet with a cousin that we would go double or nothing every bills - dolphins game. It started at $1 and ended with him "owing" me like $524,000+. I'm pretty sure it was 20 games in a row. He never would "pay" up.

Or you could pick whoever is playing the dolphins every week. And I'm a dolphin fan. It's going to be another long year I'm afraid. You could have one the league last year and only had to come up with three picks after you used buff,jets and patsies* once.

Pittsburgh. Cleveland looked horrible and pitt. owns them.

Looked but couldn't find anything about the show on line. Did find a NY Times article that said the Carolina Panthers started it and now charge between $3,000 and $20,000 and Dallas is as high as $150,000 for their new stadium. I'm guessing those are luxury box seats or something. I know one thing I'd have to be getting something more than food, booze and a ticket to pay that much money just for the right to pay for the season ticket on top of that.

I just saw that real sports thing last night. the numbers were insane and I can't remember them all exactly but they were a lot higher than 1,000 dollars. They did say the Jets were holding like 27,000 seats for no PSL fees but you know where those are going to be. There was a guy with yankee tickets on there. 4 season tickets in the area he sits in( very good seats) are going from 81,000 to 810,000 if I remember correctly. He was a very wealthy guy but nobody in his area is going to renew. He's had the tickets for like 30 years and they had the stubs from when he first started going to games the price differences were astounding.He said it will become a company owned area in the future. If I see the show again tonight I'll have to write down the numbers and let you know. The numbers were so big and so numerous it was hard to keep them straight. All I know is that there aren't to many people with that kind of scratch to go to games. Pretty sad if you ask me. They are pricing the people who made those leagues into what they are today right out of the market. They said Stub Hub is one of the worst things that ever happened to the fans. It gave the owners the info they needed to see what the market would bare as far as prices and the owners are now raising the prices to reflect what people are willing to pay for a ticket.

I think the pats have as good a shot as either the bills or jets. Remember they do have the easiest schedule based on last years teams of course. If I had to put money on who wins the division, I'll take the Jets. I think Farve is going to help that team in many other ways than just throwing TD's. Right now all four teams have new QB's so I'll take the veteran to lead his team to a playoff spot.

Met quite a few even though I'm not a Bill's fan. My son and I had the opprotunity to be in the Seneca Nation's Casino Box for a pee - wee football team he plays for. It was the Nation's gift for the boys winning the league title. Damn times change, when I played we certainly didn't get stuff like that. Anyway. It was when Ritcher got honored for the wall of fame. After halftime who comes in but Ritcher, Smerlas, Joe Delamelere(SP?). There were some others that I didn't recognize also. I gave Ritcher my seat so him and his wife could eat and he starts talking to my son about football and stuff like he knew him all his life. He talked to us for about a half an hour. I told my son he should let him eat in peace, but Ritcher would have none of that. He is a better person than he ever was a football player and he was damn good at football. One thing I found hard to believe was how small he is. He would be a small running back nowadays I think. I got some great pics with all the guys and my son, they were all good guys.

I think it's an indictment to the NFL though that you can have the likes of Pac-Man Jones, doing god knows what to who, and ithey come down hard one somebody for smoking pot. It's not like the Bills don't or haven't had some pretty good players inviolved in bad things before. They just covered them up better or played at a time when the league kind of looked the other way. I don't know how you could not like Ricky on a personal level. I can see why people would have questions about his playing though.

didn't read the link. I assumed, (yeah I know), they were talking about 40 meters as that's what the track stars run. Alot of those guys are amazing that they don't really slow down that much over the length of the course. The 200 and 400 splits are amazing. Christ they could take me straight to the morgue after running them, assuming I'd even finish.

As far as the 40 times it's apples and oranges anyway. 40 meters is about 43 yards. This discussion is pointless anyway, but you can't compare those two stats.

That was hilarious. God I hope Peyton can beat them Sun.

Darrin the Volunteers are in the SEC, but they are far from what they have been, at least this year. And I said they would have gotten drilled by Auburn, LSU or Florida. They are who I would consider the top three programs even though Arkansas won their division. I'm considering the fact that Penn. St. is in the top 3 of the Big 10, which one could argue. Just for the record, I am not a Bills fan either. That would be the Dolphins. I grew up in Florida hence the Dolphins and Hurricanes as my favorite football teams. Although lately it hasn't been much fun watching either. I agree that the layoff sucks though. If the Big 10 had a playoff it wouldn't be as bad, but that is there own problem.

I hate when teams do that but I understand that you can't play 12 games against the top teams in the country. Alot of those type of games are regional games. Consider, Penn.St. plays teams in Ohio, I can see one but Akron, Youngstown St., and throw in Temple. My favorite is Buffalo, it has Wisc., Auburn and BC on it's schedule. Hell they would have trouble having a winning record playing Buffalo area High Schools. Why that team made the jump up is beyond me.

OK dave I'll concede that the national titles are even, can't argue that fact. My reasoning is that it is harder for the SEC teams because from top to bottom they are much better. If you look at the non conference games it sure seems that the SEC schools don't play the Buffalo, Bowling Green, and Temples of college football. Ohio st. does play some top tier teams out of conference just like florida so I'll give them that. IMO the Big Ten doesn't have the same in conference or out of conference schedule on the whole as the SEC. That goes for the other conferences as well. The biggest fraud by far is ND, I hate that team. As much as everyone hates Jimmy Johnson he said the same last night just before kickoff, and I've been trying to tell the guys I work with this, for a long long time. Just so nobody considers me a homer I'll state that my favorite team is Miami. I just love watching those southern teams knock the crap out of each other. The football tradition down there is just unmatched anywhere.
