Oh, so that’s why Matt Cassel hasn’t started a meaningful game since high school. Anyone care to debate the issue of whether Tom Brady is more valuable to his team than any other player in the NFL, Peyton Manning included? (Would you trade Cassel straight up for Jim Sorgi? I wouldn’t). Next contract negotiation with the Patriots, Brady’s agents should pop in the video of New England’s first two 2008 preseason showings on offense.
Case closed.
jj sometimes i ignore your crazy banter, but did you call the SEC second rate? i’m assuming it was a joke.
If it’s so second rate why did ESPN pay billions for it?
This is ESPN’s TV sced for the year…I am not sure if that will help you poach

SEC=good marketing
well, My preseason is over and my pats have figured out one thing. That there Back up qaurterback of the future is O’connell. Brady did not take a snap in the preseason, Moss hardly played at all and Welker had some rib issues. In saying this the preseason, as in all sports, means nothing.
Tonight at the dizzy SMU Vs Rice….
Did I read it right Clemson lost?
So tonight it begins, after the longest offseason in pro sports(withdrawl). Its back.
It appears as if the Chris Simms era is about to begin in New England, more to follow later. Also Lewis Hamilton lost his first place in yesterday’s Belgium ZGrand Prix do to an Illegal move and te Jays are 8 games out of a wild card spot….
It also appears as if the Billy Flutie era has begun at BC…who lost to GT 19-16…
Also I am on the Sun Devils band Wagon this year….
My Brother on Brady:
I have alway stood by my feeling that Brady is a product of the system. He is without question the most over rated athlete ever. New England was on the way down anyway.

My uncle
i think the pats wont missa beat.take out one system qb and plug in another.
i think the jays ase the beat team in the league. at this monent
The Patriots just released the following statement regarding Tom Brady:
“After extensive tests this morning, it was revealed that New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady’s left knee, which was injured in the first quarter of yesterday’s game, will require surgery. He will be placed on injured reserve and will miss the remainder of the 2008 season.”
Re: New England & Brady.
Well, at least I can hope for an underdog again. This “best team in the league” nonsense was starting to get me down. Go Matt C! Go DEE! Go Pats. No one thinks we can, but we will—2001 all over again!
There’s my spurt of optimism.

It’s the system in N.E. not the QB, just watch. On another note how does a stumbling bumbling idiot like my bro who know’s nothing about football win the pool by going 14 for 14? He must of picked the team colors that he likes the most. I dont know!
Doug Flutie said that Cassels can run the system as good as Brady….I believe in Flutie….I think 5 days without a beer is starting to effect me….
Also I believe Gold Fish Boy buckled down and put alot of thought into his pick…At least I hope so…
Don Banks now says that Cassels will be A OK….
Hey Poach and 54 The November 22 game is also the hanging of Roy’s Jersey…Its still a good date but we will have to plan sooner rather than later….
A Blue Jays Comment:
While not completely out of it, at seven games behind the Red Sox in the wild-card race, the Blue Jays are largely a playoff afterthought. Though the Jays haven’t factored into a pennant race in years, the September surge is becoming something of an annual occurrence. Over the past three seasons, they have the second-best winning percentage (.625) in September, behind the Yankees.
I am not very confident about our ticket…
Craig James was in the same backfield as Dickerson at SMU…
Dickerson! knew it.
Hey, I think we have to admit that Chris not Scott is the true football fan in the family…
Some people just get lucky
This is for you 54 and Poach
In this week’s polls, the conference has five teams in the top 10 – No. 3 Georgia, No. 4 Florida, No. 6 LSU, No. 9 Alabama, No. 10 Auburn. No other conference has done that before and even the SEC people are amazed. And you could make the argument that if Tennessee hadn’t opened the season with a loss to UCLA, the Volunteers could have been the sixth top-10 SEC team.
There are other significant numbers – such as the money ESPN and CBS laid out to the SEC in a contract extension. Try $2.25 billion over 15 years by ESPN and $750 million over that span by CBS. Some $3 billion will balance a lot of athletic department budgets.
Lions fire Millen
Potential Schedule…for Boston….
Game 1: Boston at LA, Thurs., Oct. 2
Game 2: Boston at LA, Fri., Oct. 3
Game 3: LA at Boston, Sun., Oct. 5
Game 4 LA at Boston, Mon. Oct. 6 (if necessary)
Game 5 Boston at LA, Weds. Oct. 8 (if necessary)
While if they choose the “B” schedule, it would be set up this way:
Game 1: Boston at LA, Weds., Oct. 1
Game 2: Boston at LA: Fri., Oct. 3
Game 3: LA at Boston: Sun., Oct. 5
Game 4 LA at Boston, Mon. Oct. 6 (if necessary)
Game 5 Boston at LA, Weds. Oct. 8 (if necessary)
Did anyone watch Supernatural last night? Or the Beavers big win?
(Your fantasy sleeper for this week? Brandon Lloyd. I know, I know, we’ve been here before. But they threw to him constantly during that Bucs game and he made a number of impossible catches. Remember, when you catch six balls for 124 yards and a touchdown with Orton throwing to you, that’s like catching 14 balls for 225 yards and three TDs with a real QB.)
from Simmons
Hail to The Redskins
On to victory
How sweet it is
!!
I wish I knew the lyrics to the REdskins song, I would post them on the blog…
Hey JJ,
If you post those lyrics, I will program the website to play,
“THE YELLOW ROSE OF TEXAS”
every time you log in.
here it is!
There’s a yellow rose of Texas
That I am going to see
No other soldier knows her
No soldier, only me.
She cried so when I left her
It like to broke my heart
And if I ever find her
We never more will part.
She’s the sweetest rose of color
This soldier ever knew
Her eyes are bright as diamonds
They sparkle like the dew.
You may talk about your dearest May
And sing of Rosa Lee
But the Yellow Rose of Texas
Beats the belles of Tennessee.
Oh, my heart is feeling weary
And my head is hanging low
I’m goin’ back to Georgy
To find my Uncle Joe.
You may talk about your Beauregard
And sing of Bobby Lee
But the Gallant Hood of Texas
He raised Hell in Tennessee.
Hail to the Redskins !
Hail to victory !
Braves on the war path !
Fight for old D.C !
Run or pass and score,
We want a lot more !
Beat em, Swamp em, Touchdown,
Let the points soar !
Fight on… Fight On…
Til you have won,
Sons of Washington !
Well, Well, Well. An onteresting week-end in college football. Bosting College wins and so do the Commadores. I admit that quielty I was routing for the Tigers to take the SEC this year but it appears that my new almost favorite team will be the Commadores of Vandy. If you are a fan of the SEC and your team has two losses then it might me time to jump on the Vandy bandwagon.
Mind you the tigers lost because the offence was offensive but you must gove the HArvasrd of the SEC some credit for building a tream to compete in the countries second toughest cogerence.
Oh and the Long horns of Texas are up to 5th in the AP polls. Have they played anybody other that Jr. Colleges this year???
Did the 50$ proline win
nope, you and scott lost!
cheers,
p.s. special thanks to rita, al and chris for winning!
Hey I wantyed to Pick New England, I should have stuck with my original pick…
I have agreed to coach in the Scotty Hayes under 10 baseball league next year. I have already assembled part of mu coaching staff. Do we have any other Dizz Heads without a criminal recor interested????
Well, Well, Well…The cow girls loose to St. Louis…I guess its a good thing that Texas won on Saturday…
Well, Well, Well. It looks as if I sacrificed my Red Sox for a Habs and Pats win Last night. Was it worth it…YES. Coonsider that its been 5.5 years since Montreal beat Florida that bad at home(it was only 3-1) and that Mike Shanahan and the Bronco’s, entering last nights game, were the only tandum to have had a winning record against the Pats since the Bill annd Brady show began (5-1).
Its was good to wakle up today a Habs and Pats fan….oh and a Gatineau fan as well…
hey jj, ive never met anyone was a fan of sooooo many different teams. eventually one them has to win at some point. enjoy the feeling because it will be short lived.
GO LEAFS!
I look at it as a Mutual fund, you invest your support in different markets and in different sports at some point you will be happy, thus you minimize your risk. See If I supported only Toronto teams I would be a very sad person indeed, never feeling joy….
This will be my last post for a bit as I will be working 22 hour days and sleeping at my desk. But you got to love ESPN page 2 …

A star is born
After completing 18 of 24 passes for 185 yards and a career-high three touchdowns in Monday’s win, quarterback Matt Cassel was named AFC Offensive Player of the Week.
