  1. Pittsburgh athletic director Steve Pederson praised Haywood's character when he was hired last month, calling his values "in line with the values of this great university…most importantly, Michael is a man of character and integrity and will be an inspirational leader for our football team."

     

    Whoopsie daisy!

     

     

    I've always wanted to use this: :oops:

  2. One of the biggest reasons I'd be for an 18-game regular season is eliminating one full-priced pre-season exhibition game - I also hated being forced to buy those as part of the season-ticket package.

     

    Thank you - they are a ripoff! I never even use them - I give them away every year!

  3. Is there really that much difference between a pre-season game and a week 17 game between a team with a locked in playoff spot and a 4-11 team, both of who are likely to play 2d and 3d stringers for a large portion of the game?

     

    And now imagine it's a week 19 game with the same teams? Or worse, between a pair of 4-13 teams? It just seems to me the 'running for the bus' mentality will be twice as bad if they extend the season further.

     

    I'm not following how all that isn't just being pushed back two games?

  4. What would rather have; an 18 game schedule with 2 pre season games or a 16 game schedule with 4 pre season games. As a season ticketholder I pay for two games to watch player that might play in Canada or the arena bowl one day. These are the two options

     

    Thank you. I asked earlier who on here that wants to stay with 16 games are actually season ticket holders. Of course, nobody is.

     

    If you who want it at 16-4, instead of 18-2, want to send the money for an extra game that I'll never go to every year, I'll give you my address.

     

    These players are in such great shape all year now that the preseason is not needed to be 4 games.

     

    And, I don't get this argument some of you are making that since there are meaningless non playoff implication games this week, that means that there will be two more weeks of them with an 18 game schedule. Maybe I'm not following the math, but doesn't that just push the meaningless games out, not make more of them?

  5. I'm wondering how many people who don't want to go to 18 games are season ticket holders? I hate paying for 2 regular season prices and then getting only 7 home games of the real season.

     

    Give me 18 games - 8 home games, one in Toronto, and make me only pay one ripoff preseason game.

     

    I've had season tickets for 25 years now, and there is no way I've been to more than 6 preseason games in all those years. That's a lot of wasted money!

  6. It doesn't matter because the players drafted @ 8-10 could have gone 1-3.

     

    True, but my guess is that the players from 1-3 have turned out better than 8-10. I already know Whitner at 8 and Spiller at will contribute to that outcome!

     

    Were you just win every week people upset when Marv would go 0-4 and tank the last game of the year and then go to the Super Bowl?

  7. It's entirely subjective as no criteria were set forth as what a "good pick" was in the OP. I just highlighted a few notable names is all -- guys that featured prominently on Super Bowl teams and such. There are excellent players that I didn't bold and some people will strike all sorts of postures over some of those that I did bold of course. Let's just call it what it was, a quick sort of shotgun approach to identifying some good players that went 1, 2, or 3. ;)

     

    Got it - yeah, you can add first team pro bowlers Joe Thomas & Jake Long, Mario Williams and a few more to the highlighted list for sure.

  8. Midtown Manhattan is a ghost town after 8PM. All except Times Square.

     

    And, even Times Square - I went to the championship clinching World Series game 6 in 2009. There was a good amount of celebration and partying near the stadium, on that street that Stan's is on.

     

    But, then after awhile, we decided to go back to the hotel in midtown, but we wanted to go to Times Square and celebrate there, before heading to the hotel. So, we get out of the subway, and there were crickets in Times Square. I'm guessing it was 1AM, the Yanks had just won the WS, and now there is nobody there. I didn't expect VJ Day, but I would have thought there would be a decent crowd......It was like when they used to have that live shot of the ESPN Zone on the Sports Reporters at 10AM, with nobody in Times Square, only with less people!
