Reading comprehension is a good thing...try re-reading what I posted.

I'd like to see JP get his shot once he has a few more weeks of practice under his belt but don't kid yourself into thinking this team will be more competitive with JP at the helm this year. Rookie QBs almost always struggle mightily, but I'd like to see those struggles come this year, in a lost season, instead of next year.

Now Artest has more than enough time to promote his new album. Hell, he can go on tour now. Dream come true for the guy.

Because, unfortunately, our remaining schedule has road games on it too...

I love the guy but this was the worst game I've ever seen him have.

Not to mention that Willis' toe touched out of bounds at about the 21 yard line, had the penalty not been called I'm sure the Rams would have challanged it.

I was being sarcastic...

Like I said in another thread, please do the world a favor and don't procreate. Have you ever thought of having a vasectomy? Seriously, it sounds like you’re a prime candidate. I’m sure in the name of public safety the Indiana state government would subsidize such a procedure. Actually, I have an even better idea; if you would give us your mom's contact info maybe we can talk her into having a 90th trimester abortion…

You have to be one of the only people on Earth that honestly considers a beer being thrown on someone (hell, by the time the cup gets to the target the beer isn't even in it anymore) as being "physically assaulted". The fan is dead wrong for doing it, nobody is arguing otherwise. But you can't control the actions every single person in an arena that holds 20k people (or 70k at a football game). If just one idiot throws something do you think every athlete should charge the stands to fight? If that were the case there would be NO SPORTS AT ALL because every night there'd be a brawl. Every single night there is some idiot that throws a snowball, a battery, a cup of beer, or whatever on the to court/field. It's not right, nobody says it is, but only a complete imbecile would think the appropriate reaction is for the player to charge the stands to fight. The correct action is for the fellow fans/players to point the idiot out to security and let them take it from there. If the item was a battery or something that could actually do real harm, they should be taken to the police and arrested. THAT is the correct action to be taken. I don’t know why I am bothering trying to explain this to you. You’re too dense to get it apparently, or too much of a homer to want to get it.

I’d rather not get into the whole racist thing here, because it generally opens a whole sh!tcan of flames but... One has to be incredibly KzooMike of recent American history to not understand that the term "boy" was a derogatory remark that whites openly used against blacks as recently as 40 years ago (hell, in certain parts of the country its still used). If he didn't mean it as racist, why didn't he call him "man" or "guy". Sure, the term "boy" might have been incidental, but it can very easily be construed as a derogatory remark as well (particularly when one uses the word “hood” in the same sentence). When throwing around terms like that, one has to be careful because people are bound to take it the wrong way, particularly if they don't know the person saying it. Personally, I don’t give the above poster the benefit of the doubt, it would seem that it was purposely intended as racist. Perhaps I’m wrong, I’ve been known to be on occasion. This incident (the NBA fight) has caused quite a few posts which purposely throw around borderline racist statements, and when somebody calls them on it (usually a “Guest” because I guess people don’t want to stand up to it with their “real” username) they defend it by saying, “how was that racist” or “I didn’t mean it that way” or “it only became racist once you took it that way”, or, my favorite, "I'm not PC!" The posters who make the boarderline racist remarks purposely make the meaning ambiguous to cover their asses, but anybody with half a brain knows the intent. Earlier there was a post that stated, “A fight in the NBA and one at the VIBE music awards, coincidence?” Hmm, what do these two events have in common that could make it a "coincidence"? Basketball players like music? Musicians like basketball? Famous people? Yeah, that’s it, famous people! The fact that one can point out that there are white R&B musicians as well as white basketball players doesn’t cover the intent of the post. Anyway, I’m done with this rant. I just felt compelled for someone other than a damn guest to stand up to some of this crap instead of everybody turning a blind eye to it as if it didn’t exist. footnote: I had no idea that the word !gnorant got translated as Kzoomike...guess I missed that one. How'd this one start?

She's getting a little older now, but damn Salma Hayak still does it for me: Mmmmm

You all are idiots! In one swift moment Artest now has the time off he asked for to promote his new rap album and the gangsta cred he needs to ensure that it sells through the roof! Artest is a genius!

Why does it not surprise me that anybody who spells "those" like you did believes violence is the answer?

You should get together with NJSue, it seems you have a lot in common. Actually, you have a little in common...as in, you both have little brains.

Please don't procreate. I'll pay for any abortions your girlfriend might need.

You need so much help its not even funny. This is an incredibly sad statement on so many levels.

Why, because you want to see another disgrace and revel in it? That type of behavior makes me embarrassed to be a human being…and there are people who actually enjoy it? If that's your cup of tea have at it, I for one think the brawl itself was pathetic and those who enjoy it are equally so.

This is the most idiotic thinking I've seen in a long time. So violence is the solution is what you're saying? If someone gets you wet with a beverage that gives you the right to give them a beat down? What a society we’d live in if everytime something happened to somebody they tried to start a fight…and you think this is okay? What an intellectual you must be. Not to mention, your analogy doesn't wash. These guys get drinks thrown at them every night as do every other sports’ stars and they don't charge the stands. If every player acted like Artest there would be no professional sports because there would be a brawl every night. Just because you like the team doesn't make everything they do okay. You should be embarrassed as a Pacer fan...not proud. And you have the nerve to call those who tease another on the board the "worst kind of human trash" and you defend the actions of a guy who punches fans when he wasn't in danger?

I guess it could boggle someone's mind...if they were so drunk they didn't realize that they removed all the cards. I agree with EZC...was this really impressive enough to warrant a thread? Its not like its a camel toe...

I clicked it thinking the same thing, that this time it would be some sweet runs of his from Miami...I closed the window the moment I realized I was mistaken.

The Pro-Bowl is done by conference and position, so why you're giving total NFL stats as well as TEs included in your numbers I don't know. For AFC WRs Moulds ranks: 3rd in receptions 8th in yards (just 55 yards from being in the top 3) 11th in TDs (1 more TD he'd be tied for 4th...keep in mind 5 of the top10 are all Colts players...) So while Moulds’ numbers aren't eye popping in and of themselves, those are pretty amazing stats given the immovable object that is our offense. Will he make the Pro-Bowl? His chances are just as good anybody not named Marvin Harrison (who will get in on name recognition alone)

You make it sound like the AFL was a sure shot investment. It wasn't, those owners took a risk with their cash and it paid off for 'em. Why hold it against them? Nobody on that list, nobody, has done more for the NFL than Ralph Wilson. If the Bills were winning right now, would Ralph deserve it in your mind then? Because this just sounds like you're pissed that the team hasn't been winning lately and he's making money off of it and nothing more. Also, did Steve Young and Dan Marino make millions from football? Is that a reason they shouldn't be let in?

So, after reading this entire thread I have just one question that's been bugging me since page 3: Is someone a moron if they drink every Saturday night but don't wake up Sunday morning with a hangover?

You can't fight it, so don't bother. IF EM doesn't show that he's as frusterated as the fans people scream, "He doesn't care! Why am I getting upset over this team if the players don't care!" If he does display frusteration its, "get rid of his unhappy ass!" Unless a team is winning its a lose/lose situation for these guys, even the ones that produce.
