all that matters is stats, or in the case of guys like bob sanders being loved in the media. ow every non lineman is a write off. db's are totally replacable, none have ever made a real contribution to a pro football team. back up left tackles are worth the 11th over all pick tho. oh, and dbs don't help the pass d

they can get new jobs. and the vast majority have (you read the comment about low unemployment right?). things that can be done cheaper and better in another place should be done cheaper and better in another place. not really that complicated.

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm, nafta = bad because of the chrony capitalism and regulations involved. trade is a GOOD thing, to the extend that nafta bolsters trade that is good. trade with china is a good thing for america, products are much much cheaper because of it. we also have a luxo market (where regular goods, bags, coffee, phones, you name it) are luxurized (not a word) because people have so much disposable income. those goods are getting backed off of with the current economic downturn, but walmart and such are selling MORE goods as americans swtich back downmarket. this is interesting because it used to be people would do without and companies would really feel a pinch, but now it is more of a case of people just not blowing as much on the same goods. so ross perot was kinda right that nafta had bad things about it, but the trade itself is awesome. also it's not like america has high unemployment by any stretch. sub 5% even in today's state. america doesn't need most of the jobs that get exported. having china scramble to be america's cheap goods producer is good.

they are fine being here. it's the paying for stuff that's bad!

hahahah I DON'T WANT TO HIT AN INNOCENT BILLS FAN, BUT I WILL IF I HAVE TOO!!!!11 *PATS ARE KNOWN FOR SPYING, WE CAN'T LET ONE OF THEM GET IN HERE!!!

rj did play better than jp, with a lesser line as well. jp suffers from injuries and frequent sacks, just like rj did. jp is also a turnover machine and for the longest time would put up less than 100 yards more often than not, and rj never lost his job due to bad play, but only due to injury. jp loses out to bad play a bunch.

i missed that! he didn't mention that not spending every draft pick on a lineman or having more than 1 corner on your team was idiotic, so didn't check for anything else!!

you're not.... a pats* fan... are you? *slowl drifts into chest kick stance*

www.dictionary.com + irony = :>

if they go down, and bellycheat gets trashed, i am going to be so happy it will be insane. i will be throwing spinning back kicks into the faces and chests of known or suspected pats fans all damn day!!

if the problem is money the solution isn't necessarily education bill. while it is true (and i've banged that drum) that university educations are largely required for decent paying jobs in this country, student loans subsidizing more and more graduates just extend that problem. there are too many good places to live and get ahead in america for there to be a caste system in place. americans might have to move to get ahead, but that's a small price to pay if you really want it.

mma is really the fastest growing. the ufc is very smart in what it is doing. they give props to fighters outside of their company while promoting their own brand, and they provide free and ppv matchups. the nhl has just about ruined hockey for me. they are a terrible organization and have made no positive steps at all. the nfl just pwns. i honestly think it is the one league that in no way wants to let the product get diluted at all. they want the traditional markets to stay strong for as long as possible. would any other league push revenue sharing and CBAs while LA didn't have a team?

you don't actually think you are disproving my statement do you? the majority of desirabel jobs tend to require or strongly favor a 4 year degree. that along with the subsidies has produced a whole lot of education with a very small amount of actual learning and meaningful study.

exactly. if the game mattered they wouldn't let the ref just make up how long extra time is.

you called me ignorant, stupid, and brainwashed and showed you were incapable of refuting any of my points (YOU ACTUALY SAID SOCCER REQUIRES GREAT HAND EYE COORDINATION AND IS A POWER SPORT) before i returned the favor. i think soccer is great, it gives children an outlet to run around and burn energy, and helps keep some kinda butch girls thinner. it's like blocks mixed with hop scotch and diet pills. and why do you want me to be mad about highlights on sports center? i'm happy that you can drive home in your prious and sit cross legged on your peach and birch hemp couch while the kick ball highlights come one. i heard that a small scrawny euro kicked the ball! that must have rocked!

it's not a sport if it takes more than 1 day or you can be served drinks while playing.

LOLOL!!!!!!

garbage you sensitive nancy. soccer players pretend like they've been sniped every time actual physical contact occurs. they do not take constant hits, they are not tough intimidators, they are scrawny little runners who kick a ball around and almost never in the net as the game does not reward aggressive action. soccer is an endurance sport. soccer players are small. they are fast compared to normal men or slow athletes but slow compared to very very fast athletes like say nfl corner backs (and even some linebackers, how average 50-75 pounds more in weight than a pro soccer player). soccer does not require the very rare athletic traits of true explosiveness, super sturdy physical frames, power and toughness. soccer OBVIOUSLY does not require hand eye coordination. for christ's sake most of the players are forbiden to use their damn hands. goalies just have to stop the ball, that doesn't require much hand eye coordination beyond getting an arm out in time. you are a self deluded sissy for trying to prove how soccer is a power sport by saying i can't kick the kick ball or run past the little shorts wearing soccer man. of course i can't i'm a man not a soccer player. in soccer you might get torched by a great player, and he will run around you and put the kick ball in the laughably enormous net. in football you will be mashed into the ground, have the ball ripped from your limbs, and have to get back up to do it all over again. the corner backs in the nfl possess true rare athletic talent. that kind of speed and agility is MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE with non stop endurance running that your favorite little kick ball euros do every damn day. linemen clearly posses extreme strength and size. you can walk allover a big city and not see a single man with the frame to even begin to play in the nfl as a pro lineman. soccer is a simple little sport. how many pages in a pro team's playbook? THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE REAL PLAYBOOKS! if an nfl player lines up in the wrong spot or makes the wrong read before the snap then horrible things occur. strategy is a huge part of real sports, but not soccer. soccer is great if you want to dance around with a ball at your feet and kick it around a giant field with nearly zero friggen scoring all day. if you think a real man should have the upperbody strength of an aids patient then soccer is manly. if you stand up to pee on occasion and realise fighting through pain in a demanding sport where giant powerhouses get hurt or even crippled is the true pinnacle of team sports then clearly you will pass soccer in favor of football. soccer may be the most popular team sport in the world, but abject poverty and squaller are the most popular financial situation and living conditions in the world as well. you're an american you should aim for better than that.

i'm sorry ma'am, are you the captainette of your soccer team? can you somehow show that any of the things i said aren't true? do you really think soccer players show strong hand eye coordintation? do you consider them powerful?

soccer is a niche sport in the usa. it is popular overall because little kids and girls play it. the us women's team is one of the best in the world -- this is because girls don't bother to play sports in most the places where soccer is popular. it might be growing, but it's not the explosive growth MMA is experiencing world wide. soccer is a simple game that doesn't possess any of the traits that we tend to love in our sports. no size strength or extreme speed. no hand eye co-ordination at all, no power and explosiveness. it is very low on strategy compared to the big 4 teams sports. soccer is a simple little poor person game that has sort of reached its limit. it is exactly the game you see in the UEFA championships and so on, very few chances to score, skilled players without much opportunity to make a large impact on the game, and there is no where for the game to change. football is an example of the highest level of sports. it requires immense strategy, officiating and complicated rules, specialized positions and important compliments of individual player skills with one another. it also requires more dedication than any other team sport to be played on a high level. pain, injury, suffering, intimidation, speed, explosiveness, power, determination, strategy, teamwork, dedication -- these are the attributes that football and football players live by. the nfl and other levels of football have had subtle but significant changes in rules over the years. the nfl is a great mix of tradition and change. hockey is down and kinda going sideways. it had a hot period but the nhl pissed away a good opportunity. imo with HD hockey could be really good on tv if they put in some of the great cameras the nfl has worked with, but it is too small potatos right now. baseball has strong regional support but is fairly tapped out wrt growth. basketball (while the nba has been suffering lately) is a growth sport particularly in asia. soccer really is a novelty in america -- it is interesting that millions of brazillians and unwashed eurotrash get worked up over a kickball game where skinny androgynous men pass about a little ball with little or no scoring while the ref arbitrarily determines how much time the game should be played for.

i explained this above, a degree has widely become the minimum requirement for the majority of desirable jobs.

my point is that kids NEED to go to school, but don't have the chops for hard majors (or as it should be a truely well rounded university education) so you get massive humanities departments and people end up with 4 year majors in transgendered african american studies. so the subsidies = too much and much worse.

IN COVERAGE YES BILLIAM!!!! DAMNIT WE GOT SOME BIG STUD LB'S AND LINEMEN, CAN'T YOU BE HAPPY!! you need tolerance training for corners and cover guys bill. they are important parts of the team!

like the giants? they don't draft any high o linemen and spent some big picks on corners last year. YOU NEED 12 STEPS BILL!!!!!111 i'll sponser you!

i don't know if i'd call him an underdog. i think he'll make the team and play special teams and be put in in certain situations. just because he wasn't drafted doesn't mean the fo doesn't have a good idea of what to do with him. using him to mash into a target guy (smallish lb is good) early might pay dividends later on in the 4th on 3rd and short.
