The NFL - National Football League (Page 6 of 94)

Well Stu, good luck with Pete Carroll. Don't believe his departure from SC was solely to try his hand in the NFL (In Pete's case that's Not For Long). Like rats on a sinking ship, Carroll, the A.D. and I heard the Univ. president are all jumping ship with a 2 year investigation into athletic program inpropriaties about to blow up on the University of Spoiled Children. Keep your eyes on ESPN for more to break on this story. Another side bar to him coming to the Emerald City is the next meeting between Seattle & Baltimore. John Harbaugh, head coach of the Ravens is the brother of Jim Harbaugh, head coach at Stanford. After Stanford ran up the score on SC this year, not like SC ever did that, Pete C. was overheard at midfield at the end of the game berating Harbaugh saying, "What's your problem!", Harbaugh came right back at him with, "What's YOUR problem!!!". We'll see how thick the Harbaugh family blood runs next season. I love this game!

Pete needs to remember, as was pointed out on ESPN this afternoon, that losing 4 or 5 games in the NFL will probably get you into the playoffs, whereas losing 4 or 5 @ USC could cost you your job.

How true, I can't believe Les Miles survived the Ol' Miss debacle.

Our San Diego team is lousy but who cares?

I can get it back on track. GO COWBOYS!!!!! haha

Sorry for my transgression too. Just couldn't resist that post. After all, it is a football team. May have to get a pass from the doc to go to a game. That is certainly a hot lineup.

Go Chargers (forecast of 30% chance of rain means 70% chance of sunshine) Front page of the local fishwrap called for Jet fan taunting to commence at 11 AM gameday.

edit. Just showed it to the wife and she thinks it's pretty cool too. Only in America could someone come up with a Lingere Football League. (and find enough aggressive hotties to field the teams)

Cool. One thing for sure is they are exciting to watch. Norv has had his detractors here every time the team loses a couple in a row. The bandwagon fans are all aboard right now as one would expect. A quote from the locker room a couple of weeks ago was that this team is the best ever and that was from a vet. They have concentrated on being consistent on the road this year and it has showed.

Personally, I'm quite excited at their chances, being a fan since the old AFL days. This team has so many offensive weapons that it is impossible to stop them from scoring 20 to 30 points.  LT has not done much this year because he hasn't had to. Just the threat of him has kept defenses honest. That sets up the play action for Gates or the deep strike to our WR's. The only thing this team lacks is a good short yardage fullback and special teams consistency. If their D shows up and stops the Jets running game, the Jets are going to lose by a lot. The spread is 8 right now and those Vegas guys don't miss often.

I envision a showdown with the Vikings in Florida. Pragmatism however has taught us long time fans that this team always finds a way to lose the big ones. Every time they have a late lead and set up that "prevent defense" I shudder, and we will never forget the Holy Roller by the hated Raiders. The best team doesn't always win in the playoffs.

I have a good friend who is a USC alum and he is gnashing his teeth. If they come out next year and don't win there will be hell to pay.
