QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 18, 2009 -> 05:51 PM) Either way you go, pride or injury, it just doesn't make sense to keep running it up. What's the potential reward for the very significant risk of keeping your multi-million dollar stars out there? Never said it would make sense. Just said that I would love to see it and I would have no problem with a professional team doing it.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Oct 18, 2009 -> 05:43 PM) And even Bill Bellichick agrees, as he has taken Brady out of the game. Paid professionals or not, everyone has pride. There's no need to push it any further than it's already gone. The only reason Brady is out is to protect him from injury. I guarantee you he doesn't care about the Titans pride, which is why he went for it on 4th down just a little while ago. I guarantee you NFL players won't feel any better about themselves because you benched your starters because you felt sorry for them.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 18, 2009 -> 05:28 PM) And I'd love to see Brady throw that 9th touchdown and then have someone roll in to his knee again. Because that's exactly what a team doing that would deserve. Never really understood the argument that a team "running up the score" in the pros deserves to have a player get injured. Do your f***ing job and stop them from scoring.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Oct 18, 2009 -> 05:15 PM) It wouldn't be Bill Belichick if that doesn't happen. BTW, Tom Brady has 6 TD passes, and it's snowing....... I would love to see an NFL team win 84-0 or something similar. And I have no problem running up the score in the pros. The other players are paying paid to stop you, if they can't F them. I'm guessing the NE starters are probably done now though.

I would love to see the Patriots keep the starters in the game just to see how ridiculous the score would get.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Oct 18, 2009 -> 12:23 AM) As dumb a play as I've ever seen, there is NO excuse throwing the ball to 2nd base there. Angels are going to need a miracle to win this series now, they'll have to win 4 out of 5 (or 4 in a row) against the Yankees and also have to clinch the series at Yankee Stadium. I don't think either of those is realistic. Especially since the Yankees are flat out better than the Angels and are the best team in baseball this year. Good luck winning 4 of 5 having to face CC two more times, Petitte twice, and Burnett one more time with the Yankees having just a monster of a bullpen right now. It is basically a six inning game because if you are down going into the 7th you are screwed with Joba, Hughes, and Rivera coming up.

Yankees win on a terrible throw by Izturis. Really should have just taken the easy out at 1st there.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Oct 17, 2009 -> 11:46 PM) A-Rod with a chance to win it in the 12th after tying it in the 11th. Doesn't get it done and then Cano starts off the top of the 13th with an error.

A-Rod with a chance to win it in the 12th after tying it in the 11th.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Oct 17, 2009 -> 11:18 PM) Long ass game for being just 3-3 in the 11th,was there a rain delay? I didn't watch the whole thing but I don't think so. Playoff baseball just takes forever.

A-Rod = Yankee legend

Wow huge call there at 2b, I know they don't usually make the SS touch the base on the double play turn but that was technically the correct call. I've never been a big fan of allowing the 2b or SS to miss the bag anyways while trying to turn the DP.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Oct 17, 2009 -> 10:30 PM) Every year I tune in to listen to Buck and McCarver, and every year they get more boring and much dumber, respectively. I find it ridiculous that the best Fox and TBs can come up with is Buck and McCarver, and Chip Carey and Buck Martinez. How the hell does that happen?

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 17, 2009 -> 10:19 PM) No postseason runs allowed at home since '01. He is just unbelievable. I hope he pitches until he is 50.

Tex, A-Rod, Matusi for the Yanks in the bottom of the 9th, tied at 2.

River is 39 and is still absolutely filthy. I see no reason why the guy won't be able to pitch effectively until he is 45 (perhaps even longer).

That could be an absolutely huge error by Jeter.

Not that I really think Illinois had a chance to win the game at that point but down 13 with the ball and you aren't hurrying it up and snapping and then when you have the ball at the IU 30 with like 45 seconds left you don't use any timeout? Put the ball in the end zone and then kick the onside kick and see what happens. But no take your sweet f***ing time, don't throw to the endzone and eat your timeouts. Seriously, WTF? That really pisses me off when the coaches quit in a game. That is more inexcusable then the terrible discipline and decision making of the team. To flat out quit when you still have a chance to win the game? f***ing horrible. GTFO Zook.

Juice has regressed more than any player I have ever seen. He played so well through the Indiana game last year and since that point has just been unbelievably bad.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Oct 17, 2009 -> 06:40 PM) By the way, Iowa might lose @ Michigan State tomorrow, but if anyone watched the 2nd half of today's game you can see why Iowa is a legitimate top 15 team, borderline top 10 team. They have a great defense, above average receivers, an above average oline, solid freshman backs, and a solid QB. If Stanzi continues to improve and get his confidence back and Robinson/Wegner hold up and the team stays healthy they got a shot to get into a BCS game, which would be huge for recruiting and the program ($$$). One game at a time though and Iowa has had some problems against the Spartans. Huge f***ing road win for the Hawkeyes though. Curious to see where they'll be in the initial BCS standings. Also, I'm curious to see if this win @ Wiscy helps them with Fiedor. Moeaki had a few huge catches as did our back-up TE. We use TE's better than any-team in the country (Wiscy also using them well). You watch McCoy play for USC today? But you guys use your TEs a hell of a lot better than Illinois and that is what matters. Also, I don't know what I would call the Illinois-Indiana game but it sure as hell doesn't look like a D1 football game.

ND got away with an illegal chop block there, offensive lineman diving at the USC player's legs from behind.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Oct 17, 2009 -> 05:50 PM) Yeah, he's gotta make those. But, it wouldn't have mattered if Mallet hadn't already missed 2 open WR's in the endzone today. Oh, and if the refs treated Florida the same as any other team. Not saying they wouldn't have gotten the TD last drive, but it would have made it a lot harder for them to. I would go as far as to say the refs basically cheated for Florida.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 17, 2009 -> 05:55 PM) It's ridiculous how much taunting Tate is allowed to get away with. USC's doing their best to let ND back into this game. USC lost their edge when they got the big lead

10 penalties for 92 yards for Arkansas. 3 for 16 for Florida. Just saying

Arkansas kicker blows. Way to probably lose your team the game.
