D- CAF!

Another timeout used.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jan 15, 2006 -> 01:23 PM) They're in a dome so any kick I guess. Yep

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jan 15, 2006 -> 01:21 PM) I suppose any points are big. Go for an inside kick.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jan 15, 2006 -> 01:17 PM) Hey, Im thinking of getting a chat together for the Bears game. You guys in? You mean a Carolina Panthers chat?

QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Jan 14, 2006 -> 11:29 PM) Another issue could be if they face a deep team, because Duke doesn't have a whole lot of major contributors. It's a little early to worry about stuff like that (who knows what will happen between now and then), but I can think of 5 teams that could make it interesting if they meet Duke late in the NCAA tournament (yes, I know two of these are re-matches). Connecticut- Obvious reasons. Very atheltic, deep, big, probably the most talented team in the league. They could peak in early March like the 2004 team and just dominate. Memphis- Gave Duke one of their toughest games. They need to mature a bit, which might reduce their silly turnovers and poor shot selection. They are obviously very deep and very athletic, although their big guys aren't all that special. Very tough team, but they are vulnerable because they play a little sloppy and rely on the 3 a lot. Florida- Again, they're young, but they strike me as a very balanced team. Brewer and Horford are future lottery picks, Noah gives them another solid but not spectacular big man, and Green is a pretty solid PG. Michigan State- Last team to beat Duke. They're not as deep, but some of the ingredients are still there. Ager and Brown are both supremely athletic, and Davis can dominate inside when he wants to. However, it might take a perfect game this year. Texas- Yeah, I know, Duke blew them out. However, there are two major things to consider: Buckman played only 7 minutes. He's a very important player that suddenly has an injury bug that he needs to shake (his most recent one doesn't look that bad); and Redick had the game of his life. The game was also played in New Jersey and seemed to be a virtual home game for Duke. These factors may not all be the same if it happens again. Texas can certainly make life miserable for anyone in the paint with their potent trio, Gibson is always dangerous, and Paulino seems to be playing better as the year goes on. Texas isn't very deep, but their starting 5 is definitely championship quality. If you add Villanova and Louisville to the list, those also happen to be the only teams that I think have a solid chance of winning it all (obviously a lot of things have to go right for Louisville, but I like Palacios, Padgett, Dean, and Jenkins). Before one of you says: "What about the Illini?", I don't see them being able to win 6 in a row against quality opponents on a neutral or near neutral floor unless their offense drastically improves. The thing about Texas is their guards are overrated ballhogs who never want to feed the rock to Lamarcus Aldridge who is their best player and scorer. He'll be open downlow, their guards will take a look at him(like Tucker and Gibson) and then they'll either pass away from him or jack up a 3. Their coach doesn't seem to mind either. For that reason alone, I don't think Texas could beat Duke.

f***, a false start.

Niiiiiiiiiiiice cutback by Edgerrin James and niiiiiiice joke made by the broadcaster.

Another Indy 1st down.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jan 15, 2006 -> 12:56 PM) Go Panthers plus 3. Exactly!

Looks like the Colts finally discovered that running with a top flight RB will help defeat the blitz. Now they could do some playaction.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jan 15, 2006 -> 12:48 PM) Kelvin Hayden rules. He was the only person on the 2004 Illini who actually knew how to play football. Wow, big sack there. My sister went to high school with him. He was a bigtime dumbass. I do remember Hayden transferring from JuCo to Illinois. They should've kept playing him on both sides instead of trying to make him a full time CB. Illinois was that bad.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Jan 15, 2006 -> 12:39 PM) All you Bear haters will eat s*** in about 6 hours. GO f***ING BEARS!!!!!!!!1111 Haha, I'm just trying to get Bear fans riled up. I had so much fun with Pats fans yesterday.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jan 15, 2006 -> 04:05 AM) There was a thread a while back about the D-Backs trying to trade for a younger starter. Well if they could acquire Wells who's better then El Duque anyway, they can just trade him at the deadline for prospects if they're out of contention. And since Cintron's not likely to make the 25 man roster (Easley and Green as backups), it makes perfect sense for them. Cintron makes sense.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Jan 15, 2006 -> 12:37 PM) If the Colts lose this game, will Peyton officially be a choker in big games? Chokin would mean he was in the game at one point. The Colts as a whole just look bad.

Harper injured.

C'mon Colts. Kill these fools.

I bet the Panthers win because the over/under was 3.5. Eat s*** Bears!

Did they even practice?

Heard about this. Just makes me believe we probably could've held out for more for Damaso Marte like Edwin Jackson.

QUOTE(Jake @ Jan 14, 2006 -> 08:50 PM) I'm Greek, and as Garciaparra doesn't sound too Greek. Doesn't sound very Mexican either though. Garcia = Mexican Parra = Mexican Nomar = Ramon backwards(his father's name) = could mean Mexican. Jury says he's part Mexican.

I want to see the Pats and Indy in the AFC Championship game. That would be the real Super Bowl to me.

QUOTE(JoeBatterz @ Jan 14, 2006 -> 04:02 PM) If you went to a game you would get into it. Hockey is the best sport in person, it really sucks on TV. Although the Hawks are now undefeated at home when it is televised in Chicago this season :-) Bingo. I used to not even bother with Hockey prior to working at the United Center. It really is truly an awesome sport live. And I watched the Blackhawks lived when they f'n sucked and had Theo Fluerry.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jan 14, 2006 -> 06:22 PM) I'm looking ahead and I'd MUCH rather have the Bears face Wash. Well I'm not a Bears fan so that would be another reason. Heck, I even said in UIC's "Flame"(newspaper) that the Bears will get their asses kicked in the playoffs after I was asked whether or not the Bears could pull of a White Sox.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jan 14, 2006 -> 06:14 PM) Why Seattle?? Jesus, missed a FG. The Redskins have been asking to be put otta their mysery for two weeks. What has the state of Washington won in any professional sport besides in "The 6th Man" starring Marlon Wayans? Basically jack unless you count that NBA championship from the 60's. That and because my Cowboys aren't in the playoffs.
