The problem is with sports coverage in general being overcontrolled by business/marketing people. It used to be that NFL Primetime would show highlights from every game in almost equal length segments. These days, everything is determined by ratings and focus groups. They know where the larger markets exist, and what topics interest them the most. So they cater to those markets with their highlights/analysis. This is nothing revolutionary and I can't blame these shows for doing it (they are after all a business). But it certainly has alienated true football fans that care about every game's outcome, and the more intricate events from those games. And that applies to sports overall, the "business" of sports is becoming overwhelming. To paraphrase Gregg Easterbrook "There is no law that states the NFL must always remain extremely popular". It's only a matter of time before the backlash of actual football fans begins to hurt the NFL.

THIS IS A GREAT IDEA DRIZZ! If we start one with people from TBD the league has a much higher chance of being successful, instead of random people on XBox Live flaking out if their team is bad. I'm assuming this is XBox360 you're talking about? If you are doing PS3 then I'm out of luck. Otherwise keep this thing going until we get 32 people, do a fantasy draft, and let's do it. I'm also assuming since you are organizing it, you'd take the Bills as your team. I'll take the Bills if not, but I call the Steelers otherwise. My XBox live name is "Boney Bone Bone" Definitely keep this going.

I'm pretty sure they don't use actual glass... and it is plexiglass? When it does shatter it breaks into a ton of smaller pieces without sharp edges. If it was real glass it would be shards of death raining down upon players and fans.

Just because the taco is free... doesn't mean you won't pay for it! You're better off just unwrapping the taco, walking to the bathroom, and throwing it directly into the toilet... TACO BELL

If you're going for a money related nickname, what about T-Bill (link)? They are regarded as the most stable, least risky investment available to US investors. Plus it references T for trent and Bill for obvious reasons. But these are all pretty lame if you ask me.

SH|T!

When its on MSG... only home games are in HD. Away games are not on HD unless they are on NBC/VS or something like that.

DAMN YOU BIZELL... I'm usually a stickler for that error and can't believe I did that. To see your/you're misused is a huge pet peave of mine. I guess nobody's perfect

I didn't know JP posted on TSW... under the username tennesseeboy. Welcome aboard JP, and you're dream was hilarious!

COACH... you need to lighten up or get some thicker skin. This is how internet message boards work, you'll get a handful of quality responses to your topic or question, and the rest will be jokes, sarcastic comments, or insults. A few of the posts in response to your topic that you took such offense to were harmless (and not to mention many were from well-respected seasoned posters on the board, they weren't even trolls). So if you can't sift through the bad to get to the good, you might as well leave... or just go call a waaahhh-mbulance you pu$$y!

You want to look for a local Jersey Embroidery store... something that does local high school sports jerseys, for instance. If you went to them and showed them what you want, they could definitely do it. Though you'd have to make sure you show them the style/color lettering that you want. They won't do this kind of thing in a national sporting goods store, but some place that does lettering/numbering for local team jerseys should be able to help you, for a price.

You should get that lisp checked out... in no time you'll be able to say Hermaphrodite correctly!

I don't think Crayonz really cares about Sarbanes Oxley and is just playing devil's advocate with everything that anybody says. I know he's got a lot of posts, but he's playing the roll of troll in this discussion. It's best to move on.

No... this demonstrates ESPN wants to be on top of any stories, I was the one that made that point in the other thread. This has nothing to do with the NFL reporting anything in a timely manner because of government legislation. But this discussion has become useless, so let's agree to disagree. PLEASE GET TG!!!!!

Haha... first of all that thread is bogus... check it out. Secondly, if it gets reported quickly it's because there are sources all over the place in this league that will give info to reporters for a-favor-to-be-named-later. If it is announced quickly, it has nothing to do with Sarbanes Oxley. Correlation does not imply causation.
