The Jets lost one good player, Lav Coles. John 'Robocop' Hall, Chad "Bettlejuice' Morton, and Randy Thomas were average players. Johnathan Carter looked for real last week, hopfully it is for more than just one game. If we sign Keyshawn with a 10 Million bonus than I'll be pissed because we could have just kept Coles. Maybe Owens would be alright, Chad already worked with another megalomaniac in Randy Moss. But what the Jets really need are Linebackers and a real SS (sorry McGaw but you suck you violin playing putz.)

Chad will be resigned, hopfully they retain Lamont, and draft a couple WRs. Otherwise the whole offseason needs to be dedicated to the D.

If Curtis Conway wasn't an amputee he'd be the leagues leading WR.

That Bryan Thomas pick really panned out as well...

Is it really necessary to work in "Duke sucks" into *every* sports headline? It gets more than a little exhaustive.

Varmin,

Farm leagues are the best, dude. They play their hearts out. I know the talent is not as good as the big leagues, but the games are great. This is especially true of farm hockey teams, if that is what they are called. I get sick of the athletes, especially living in Washington....even Michael Jordan was a curse on this town.

Er...Yankees in the World Series? Hello?

And the Jets and Giants aren't even in New York.

The other end of the state is not do much better sportswise either.

Someone care to evaluate the sports teams in Durham?
 
2003-11-21 03:36:09 PM
Seriously, the post must just run out of shiat to write about if Steinbrenner goes two weeks without at least threatening to fire someone... or was this one from the Daily News? eh same thing.

I understand the Mets are already mathematically eliminated from 2004, 2005, AND 2006.


Go, 2007 Mets, Go! :D

Cry me a farkin' river. Try being a Philly fan. Philly's gone the longest of any city with the 4 major sports leagues (MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL) without a championship...20 years and counting.

And the comments about DC fans are 100% correct. Going to the masoleum known as Fed Ex for the Skins-Eagles Dec. 27th.

yo GIMPYNIP,

You forgot about Richie Anderson, he was getting old, but i guarrentee the running game would have been 10xs better with him blocking for Martin.

Boston - Bruins are doing semi decently, BoSox suck...do you guys root for New England Patriots? Anyways, you're so-so.

Bruins: 11-2-3
Patriots: 8-2
Celtics: Nevermind
Red Sox: Shut the Hell Up

You may be right
 
2003-11-21 03:40:03 PM
Wow... does anyone outside of NY even care about this? And what the hell... Jets and Giants are "NY" but the Nets aren't? Granted, they're not exactly stellar at 5-6, but they're only a half-game out of first. Devils, anyone, 3rd best record in the Eastern Conference?

Hmm... Yanks, AL Champs... Nets, 0.5 games out of first... Devils, 3rd best in the Eastern Conference... looks like the YankeesNets empire is doing pretty well for itself.

buzby Seattle has never won anything ever, and as mentioned earlier Cleveland hasn't won since 1964.

Try again.

Besides who the fark cares about Philly anyways?

You try again.

Well then it figures they haven't won a Stanley cup in the last 20 years don't it?
 
2003-11-21 03:44:50 PM
That's Kharma for you. I get so farking sick of hearing stuff like "This diner is good, but all the best REAL diners are in New York."

I just want to say to them "Well, at least this place doesn't smell like garbage and shiat."

Didn't Seattle win an NBA title or 2 in the late 70's?

Oh yeah, and they don't even talk about Columbia Football, Fordham Basketball, St Johns, etc (although St Johns is at least respectable).

I want to hear from a fan from North or South Dakota - no professional or major college (division I) schools in either state - the only thing they have are stone heads and the fighting Sioux Hockey team.
 
2003-11-21 03:55:20 PM
How about them New Jersey Devils and New Jersey Nets? Go screw, NY, we don't want your crappy teams, anyway.

BroadwayJoe

At least our lights stay on....

And it's easy to be a fan when you have NINE freakin teams to go see (most of which play in NJ anyways)

Philly - all our teams play WITHIN city limits and have brand new stadiums.

And soon some trophies to parade down Broad..

Seattle and Cleveland don't have teams in all 4 sports. Buzby specifically said cities with teams in all 4 sports.

ZipBeep,

You certainly have my sympathies. I cannot gloat.

Clearly, the mid-late 80s/early 90s were your best years. Ditka's Bears. MJ (no, the OTHER MJ) and the Bulls. The Blackhawks were a damn good team, but kept running up against Mario freakin' Lemieux's Penguins. Chelios/Roenick/Belfour at their prime...whatta team!

In Toronto we can't complain. We got a new franchise (Raptors), won the World Series twice (92-93) and would have won it in 94 had there not been a strike. Leafs have been good since '93 for the most part. Argos won a few Grey Cups in the early 90s, and are becoming a good team again. Enough to keep us satiated.

The Dallas Cowboys are the greatest sports franchise of all time. The greatest!

Let's examine Philadelphia:

Phillies - Just signed Billy Wagner, and were just beat out for the Wild Card by the eventual world champs.

Sixers - Alley I. 'Nuff said. (He's awesome.)

Flyers - Who knew that Robert Esche and Jeff Hackett would be GOOD?!?

Eagles - L L B W W L W W W W W ? ? ? ? ? ? W W W (mark it down)

::stuck between ny and dc, but we have cheesteaks and a basketball championship from 1983!::
 
2003-11-21 04:01:27 PM
TigerTigerBurningBright - the Eagles will never win a Superbowl!! Dallas has five and counting....
 
2003-11-21 04:02:59 PM
Philly represent!

I hate all New York sports teams and everything about that crappy place. Philly fans have had it a lot rougher... We haven't had a chamionship since (I think) the 1980 Phillies. The Flyers always come up short, the Eagles seem to have trouble winning at home in an NFC title game, the Phillies are at least trying to get better but won't be anywhere for a while, and of course the Sixers need a second player to play the farking game with Iverson.

Yea... New York has it really tough with the Yankees being there...

Aikman'sLittleHelper - Get back to me on Monday, after you've checked your NFC East standings in the paper. Or, I you must, you can wait until Dec. 8.

::only a little jealous, cowboys still suck::

Q: Four Dallas Cowboys in a car, who's driving?
A: The police.

I wear my F%&K Dallas Shirt with pride.....

And you shoulda heard the cheers in the Vet when sombody would ping a beer of a Cowboy fan's head from 20 rows up...

Next week Eagles in 1st NFC East..Go Birds

Cities I can never root for, no matter what sport -
Philly - crappy fans, historically poor teams
NY - just on principle.
DC - no fans at all
Miami / South Fla - you had your world series parade in TWO DIFFERENT cities (Mia/West Palm) and everyone is a transplant.
Atlanta - second worst fans in the country and whine like crazy on TBS when 'their Braves' get the strike zone called the same way it is called in the rest of the country
LA - 'nuff said. worst fans in the world.
 
2003-11-21 04:10:40 PM
Dallas is still shining our Superbowl trophies every day and will add another one before the Eagles ever do!!!

illadelfian - sounds like a typical Philly crowd throwing shiat at people and going to jail. Typical Philly indeed.

TigerTigerBurningBright - Dallas beat Philly once this season(ha ha ha) and will beat them again on December 7th!!!

Boston - Bruins are doing semi decently, BoSox suck...do you guys root for New England Patriots? Anyways, you're so-so.

Bruins -28 points, tied with Vancouver for #1 in the entire league, #1 in the Eastern Conference

Patriots- 8/2 Leading their division, tied for 2nd best record in the NFL...

Women from Toronto should not comment on sports unless they know what they're talking about...

illadelfian - Ahhh, the Vet. How I'll miss it. Thinking of Irvin lying on the "turf" still bring a tear to my eye.

I have never been so happy in my life than to watch his crippled hass just lay there as 68,000 people cheered...well at least half of them were cheering..the other half waited till they saw the ambulance come out of the tunnel for him..

And yet he still gets a job talking when he can't do that either...

"I have never been so happy in my life than to watch his crippled hass just lay there as 68,000 people cheered...well at least half of them were cheering..the other half waited till they saw the ambulance come out of the tunnel for him.."

So why do Philly fans have such a shiatty rep?
 
2003-11-21 04:16:21 PM
illadelfian </B. - The lowest class crowd in the history of sports that day. Actually cheering a mans career ending injury.that is the only way they could win!! But what do you expect...It's Philadelphia ..the lowest class big city in America.

Don't forget that at one point the Hawks had Belfour and a backup goalie by the name of Dominic Hasek! Dumbasses traded BOTH of them away. :P
