QUOTE (lostfan @ Nov 24, 2011 -> 11:16 PM) It's a lot easier to shut down Aaron Rodgers while he's on the sideline where he can't do a god damn thing. True, the Lions had the ball for 2/3 of the first half. But even when Rodgers had the ball, he didn't do much with the amount of pressure he had in his face.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Nov 24, 2011 -> 11:10 PM) The Lions are cowardly bastards. As for the Packers...the only team I think could have beaten them was the Bears with Cutler. Now I'm not sure. The Lions defense absolutely shut Rodgers down in the first half. The only way to stop that offense is to get massive pressure with your front line, which the Lions did. The Lions shat all over themselves on offense though and when Suh got kicked out, the pressure was no longer as strong and the Packers capitalized. This Packers team is definitely beatable. I wouldn't be surprised at all if the Giants beat them next week.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Nov 24, 2011 -> 11:03 PM) ‎"I want to apologize to my teammates, my coaches and my true fans for allowing the refs to have an opportunity to take me out of this game," Suh said. "What I did was remove myself from the situation the best way I felt, with me being held down. My intention was not to kick anybody, as I did not, removing myself," he said. "I was on top of a guy, being pulled down, and trying to get up off the ground -- and why you see me pushing his helmet down, because I'm trying to remove myself from the situation, and as I'm getting up, I'm getting pushed, so I'm getting myself on balance." lol I sympathize with Suh. This s*** happens all the time! A guy posted this on another board: "When I left for work yesterday morning I slipped on a patch of ice. I didn't want to fall, I mean who does, right? As I was slowly and awkwardly careening towards the earth, I was able to reach out and slam a passerby's head into the ground a few times, before finishing him off with a perfectly executed stomp. Thanks random pedestrian! If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have regained my balance." I think I saw that on the ESPN article's comments. It's pretty much what Suh did.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Nov 24, 2011 -> 08:50 PM) What a lying piece of s***. You'd be better off saying you lost your temper and acted immaturely and just apologizing, you fool. Everything is the refs' fault! The world doesn't revolve around you Ndamukong.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Nov 24, 2011 -> 08:29 PM) Seriously? An accident that you rammed his head into the turf continuously, and then stomped on his arm in frustration afterwards? Way to disprove your dirty reputation on National tv, you f***ing dirtbag. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/7276717/...packers-lineman

I like how Suh didn't man up and apologize. Instead, he used the accident excuse. What an idiot. Have fun with your suspension idiot.

I'm ashamed to say yes... But only for accounts that I could care less about or accounts I share with others (don't want them to know my good passwords).

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Nov 22, 2011 -> 04:06 PM) Its not Angelo's choice, many other teams have a shot at Orton first. There is even a chance a team like Detroit claims him just to deny the Bears the opportunity. How does the NFL waiver thing work? If it's anything like MLB's, the Bears get to pick before Detroit does.

QUOTE (HeGone33 @ Nov 22, 2011 -> 03:33 PM) Yea, damn those 56 more rushing yards he has than Gore! Forte has the most yards from scrimmage of any non-QB. Gore can barely stay healthy. There is no comparison.

It's a breath of fresh air to see the players cooperating with the league, unlike that other league who won't have a season...

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 22, 2011 -> 08:01 AM) ckamka Christopher Kamka Let the records show that the only guy to hit HR off Verlander & Weaver (1 and 2 in AL Cy Young vote) in 2011 was Adam Dunn. Beast.

I thought he would win it since the voters don't like to give MVPs to guys on mediocre teams. See: Matt Kemp and Jose Bautista. I can't really argue about this one, I personally liked Braun better. Both he and Kemp are lousy fielders, the only difference between them is that one plays center and the other plays left. Braun actually had a better OPS, wOBA, and wRC+ than Kemp, so I can't say this was a bad choice.

How long would it take for Orton to learn the Martz system?

This is freaking hilarious. xD

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Nov 22, 2011 -> 12:57 AM) All the nightmares (Johan, Castillo, Punto, Kuble, Cuddyer, Nathan, etc.) are leaving Minnesota. Haha. Mauer and Morneau aren't leaving anytime soon, unfortunately. I also have a feeling Carrol and Doumit will end up killing us.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Nov 21, 2011 -> 08:40 PM) 2 Years, 14.5 million guaranteed, with a 2014 team option. Methinks Kenny can get a better return in a Thornton trade than people think. What an overpay. Nathan was pretty good in the second half last season, but you're giving that money to a 37 year old.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Nov 21, 2011 -> 03:01 PM) Don't know where you got your numbers from. Bautista had a .896 OPS the second half. Hmm, I guess I got fed wrong information from someone. I should have double checked. It's an absolute shame that Pedro didn't win the MVP in 99, but Verlander somehow does in 2011.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 21, 2011 -> 03:45 PM) Mouse + keyboard for gaming = lame. Mouse and keyboard is a whole lot better than a controller for FPS games. Sports games though? That's another story.

Ozzie tried to milk too much out of the guy. He should have been pulled in numerous games where he ended up giving up more runs because Ozzie was too stubborn or stupid to realize that he was tired.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 21, 2011 -> 02:45 PM) Because Kansas City didn't win anything. And there lies the problem... This decision was a result of the Boston collapse, even though Ellsbury hit like an MVP during it.

I wonder why nobody made a case for Zack Greinke to win the 2009 MVP when he was even better than 2011 Verlander that season.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Nov 21, 2011 -> 02:34 PM) So does the Babe Ruth award go to the best hitting pitcher or best pitching hitter? I'm so confused... Just call it the Ted Williams award then.

QUOTE (Whitewashed in '05 @ Nov 21, 2011 -> 02:14 PM) Wow, a pitcher shouldn't be MVP. I'm of the stance that a pitcher could be the MVP, but only if there are no worthy position players that year or if the pitcher is just THAT good. Verlander was awesome this year, but I think people might have overrated him by thinking Detroit had an absolute s*** pitching staff outside of him and that he had no other support. Which is obviously wrong. The Tigers had one of the best offenses in baseball and the Yankees' staff was probably worse outside of Sabathia. Even though Verlander was awesome, I don't think he was more valuable than Ellsbury or Bautista. So I don't agree with this decision at all.
