connoisseur series500 Posted September 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 I do hope that Brady recovers from the injury and comes back 100%, he's a fantastic player to watch. I hope that NE takes the opportunity to find a long term successor. Nobody stays on top for long, and I don't know how many more years Brady has left. This could be a blessing in disguise as this issue has to be dealt with sooner or later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.D. Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 The Raiders...the karma statement above might apply to that sad team. Al Davis must have incurred some seriously bad karma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggie87 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 ROMO’S GOOD DEED Posted by Mike Florio on September 11, 2008, 10:25 a.m. EDT Though we’re always skeptical of celebrities and pro athletes who do something nice for someone else and then send an e-mail to every newspaper in the country announcing their good deed, we’ve got a feeling that the recent Samaritan-style actions of Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo weren’t intended to garner the kind of good karma that comes from, say, a grandstanding donation of $10,000 to a smattering of charitable causes. (Then again, grandstanding donations of $10,000 to a smattering of charitable causes didn’t help Mike Vick in the karma department.) On his way home from Sunday’s game against the Browns, Romo stopped to help a couple who was struggling to repair a flat tire. Bill and Sharon White didn’t initially recognize Romo, due in part to the bandage on his chin that was covering the 13 stitches he received after taking a helmet to the jaw. The light flickered for Sharon White while Romo was working on the tire. He didn’t answer when she asked if he was who he is. She repeated her question when he finished pumping air into the tire from a cigarette-lighter compressor. “I didn’t want to bother him,” Sharon said, “but I asked again, ‘You’re Tony Romo, right?’ I knew it was him by then. But he smiled and said, ‘Yes, ma’am.’ I did something no 50-year-old woman should be doing, but I screamed real loud, and then jumped up and hugged him.” Her husband, Bill, was less concerned about his wife’s PDA with a studly young athlete than he was about ruining his ability to watch the Cowboys-Browns game without knowing the outcome: “Don’t tell me how you guys did,” Bill White said. “I’m going home to watch it.” Romo didn’t publicize his actions at all; the team didn’t even know about it as of Wednesday. If Sharon White hadn’t sent an e-mail to Randy Galloway of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the story might never have been known. “He gets almost knocked cold in that game, and I read it took 13 stitches to close the cut, and then there’s a long flight home and Tony’s got to be dog tired, but he still was a good enough person to stop and help us,” Bill White said. “Look, we’re driving a 10-year old car that is sitting in a parking lot with a flat tire in the dead of night. He could tell by that we’re nothing special. But here’s a young man making millions of dollars, and he’s got all this fame and glory, and he does this? . . . This was a good person we met. A good person with small-town values despite all the big-city fame and fortune. “f I ever had the opportunity, I’d also like to thank two other people. His mom and dad. They obviously raised him right.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Alfredson Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Lions suck. How could they get even worse than last year? Maybe Martz wasn't the problem after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Alfredson Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Wow. So after I posted that and the score was 21-0 Green Bay, the Lions come back and take the lead, 25-21. Then Kitna proceeds to throw three interceptions that are returned for touchdowns... in a row. Three interceptions returned for touchdowns IN A ROW. WTF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Alfredson Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Karma is a harsh mistress, ain't she? karma for what? What are the Lions suffering from? What's their karma?

connoisseur series500 Posted September 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Yes, I think so. Not sold on Kitna at all. They have great receivers. Running backs should be fine. Where's the defense? Detroit used to pride themselves on stalwart defenses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Isn't it funny that in the days of free agency, where parity is supposed to rule the league...we've still got a handful of upper echelon teams, a bunch of pretty good teams and then the teams that suck year after year. Doesn't really seem any different to me... Congrats to the Raiders though, they deserve SOMETHING to be positive about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connoisseur series500 Posted September 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Mike Shanahan's call to go for the two point conversion at the end of the San Diego game was amazing. As a NE Patriot fan, I fear no opposing coach more than I fear Mike Shanahan. He tends to put a quality team on the field most of the time, and he gives us fits. Matt Cassell era won/loss record: 2-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
