ID, Brady could win 10 SBs & he still couldn't hold Montana's jockstrap. I hated the niners then & now but no one comes close to him. I think Montana & Jordan are the two greatest athletes in history.
Montana went 4-0 in the Super Bowl. He wiped out two teams with HOF (Marino and Elway) and led a famous comeback in another one. Brady might be a HOF but he is miles behind Joe Montana.
Jordan is the greatest modern basketball player of all time. He had no dominant/all star calibur big man to play with (like Kobe) and still wins 6 NBA championships in 8 years while pissing away the other 1.5 years playing minor league baseball in his prime.
One of the best games ever happened earlier that year. Oilers had a killer yet arrogant defense & they trash talked Montana all week. Montana went into that hostile environment & decimated that defense. That 1st season in KC cemented his spot as best ever
Shit I remember this game. You're not giving enough credit to the Chiefs D. They forced a bunch of turnovers in the second half. I think I might hate this game more than the previous playoff chokeathon in Buffalo. The Oilers were the biggest waste of fucking talent in the NFL in the early 1990s. They blew 2nd half leads of 10 points in 3 straight playoff games.
I think that win was Marty Schottenheimer's last playoff win.

Haywire. Pretty good movie. It's more style over substance which I can understand since Soderbergh cast a non actress in the lead role. Really nice 70s soundtrack vibe in the film.
I wish the film were a bit longer as I found the second half of the film weaker than the first half.
One negative--Channing Tatum. This fucker can't act. He bored the shit out of me in all his scenes. They would have been better off giving off most of his screen time to anyone else.
The showed the 21 Jump Street trailer before this film and it was fucking horrible.

Outside the last 2 minutes the SB was pretty boring. MIA flipping off the camera was cheap and lame. Came off as desperately wanting attention.
Can't believe Welker and Hernandez dropped those passes. Would have been a totally different game.
Game was well played but pretty boring. The Welker drop was huge since the NYG were totally confused on that play. The Pats would have been able to chew up more of the clock and at least got a FG attempt out of it.
Coughlin goes to the Hall of Fame with this win today.
FA is in a month or so and franchise tags designations are in 2 or 3 weeks. So we are already in off season mode.
#1214 Re: The Sunset Strip » Van Halen Discussion » 771 weeks ago
I'm getting so sick of people acting disappointed in this material.
A friend of mine said of Tattoo "The lyrics aren't all the great and it sounds like Dave phoned in the singing"
Um..... if you were coming to DLR-era-VH, you were coming to the wrong place to begin with. Second, the lyrics or Tattoo are actually pretty good when you listen/look at what DLR says about them. Third; when HASN'T Dave "phoned in" his singing? Isn't that part of the charm?
Sorry to rant, but it just kind of came to a head for me tonight after seeing Trunk tweet about how unimpressed with the material he is. It's like, look man, go back to going on and on about bands NO ONE cares about and leave the enjoying Van Halen to actual fans of the band in the first place.
I mean.... what the fuck where people expecting??
Yeah, Dave's never been a high pitched screamer. He's more of a yeller which means that his voice doesn't sound all that different. I'm enjoying all the new VH stuff. Van Halen has always been fun music to listen to and I'm really not sure what the complaints are. I mean no one realistically expects them to put out another classic like Fair Warning considering the circumstances. I mean Eddie was near death a few years ago and had tongue cancer and looked like shit. Now he looks happier and looks like he is enjoying life.
Blood and fire has a pretty good solo near the end. I caught The Trouble with Never and that has some really interesting guitar stuff from Eddie. Stay Frosty sounds odd to me too but the last part of the clip was really kicking into high gear.

Although I do think Miami is the best fit for Cespedes for a variety of reasons, I think the media is being lazy with the Marlins correlation because it
s an easy write up.The Cubs & White Sox are supposed to be big players in this as well, with the edge going to the Cubs.
But if the Marlins are set to be STUPID (not a stretch), and give Cespedes a six-year deal worth a buttload of money, then the Cubs will bow out.
If Cespedes does go to the Marlins (which ultimately I think will happen), he'll be so over-hyped down there it'll make you puke.
Didn't Cespedes himself say the Cubs were his most aggressive suitor a few days ago? He's kinda old (26) and expected to spend at least one year in the minors. I'd pay him accordingly but wouldn't overpay.
On the rumor mill, the Rangers are the favorite to sign Roy Oswalt to a one year deal. I'm not sure I can name all their starting pitchers at this point. They can probably just trade the extra guy to fill needs in July.
Boston is more interested in Edwin Jackson at a one year deal, which makes sense. He isn't exactly top of the rotation guy but he does have value as a starting pitcher.
Lincecum will be the top FA pitcher after 2013. The Giants will find it easier to sign Matt Cain to an extension and let Lincecum walk.
And Miguel Cabrera is supposed to be moving back to 3b this season. I'm not sure how that will work out since he's gained quite a few pounds since he last played the position. I guess Bonilla did it for the Marlins in 1997 after not playing the position for a while. The Tigers also have some pitchers who can rack up some K's which will help.

Ok who the fuck saw this coming in the Prince Fielder sweepstakes--The Tigers sign Prince Fielder to a 9 year deal worth 214 million dollars. Averages out to 23.7 million dollars per year.
Scott Boras must be thanking his lucky stars that Victor Martinez blew out his ACL otherwise I don't think this move happens at all. Way too long of a deal for Fielder who'll be 36 at the end of it. Miguel Cabrera will probably DH for the Tigers. I don't see him the playing the field at all considering he's gotten kinda fat.
I do think it's kinda cool that he goes to his father's old team. The Tigers will win the AL Central but I'm not sure their lineup is strong enough 1-9 to compete with the other elite AL teams.
#1217 Re: The Garden » NFL Playoffs » 773 weeks ago
I wouldn't Pats-Giants or Ravens-Giants. I don't want to see any SB with the 49ers in it. Pats definitely got lucky with all the injuries and inconsistent play in the AFC. It'll be an interesting test since I'm not sold on the Ravens CB play. On the other side, Pats play a real qb this week in Joe Flacco. He might not be elite but he can actually throw a forward pass. I think it'll be close but I think the Ravens squeak it out.
I think the Giants are on a roll and win in SF. I hate Brandon Jacobs though, the guy has been pretty useless this year. It didn't help that I had him on my fantasy team for a portion of the year. The SF offense looked pretty suspect in the 2nd and 3rd quarter of the Saints game.
Eli has been on fire on 3rd downs. I think it continues. It's weird how Eli is the more superior qb in the postseason when it comes to the Manning brothers. Peyton was pretty predictable in that you pressure him and just wait for him to make a critical error.
#1218 Re: The Garden » The MLB Thread » 773 weeks ago
Ethier is ABSURDLY OVERPAID. The guy has talent, but I don't get the kind of money the Dodgers have paid him over the years and continue to pay him. Way too much.
He's a complimentary player getting paid star money. I don't think he provides enough power given his salary. The Dodgers really haven't done anything to improve their team. Guess they're waiting for the sale and the inevitable cash infusion. Eithier will get even more overpaid next year since he'll be a FA. Unless he totally tanks and gets injured.
On the Prince Fielder-Rangers thing, the Rangers have a pretty interesting dilema going. If they sign Prince that probably means that they'll let Josh Hamilton leave after 2012. Hamilton wants a fair contract from the Rangers (read: market value) and won't take a hometown discount. I don't see them giving him a big money contract and signing Fielder and Darvish. I think they sign Fielder and let Hamilton go and trade prospects for another OF after the 2012 season.

trade Evan Bourne for Brodus Clay
#1220 Re: The Garden » NFL Playoffs » 773 weeks ago
I'm not trying to hate on Tebow or anything, but man he throws some DUCKS!! Seriously, I saw a few instant replays of his passes during the game and they wobble the whole way there. I agree he's playing real well and was a big factor in the win, but throwing, ugggh, I've seen better arms on a chair.
Yeah, but he was far WORSE in the previous games. So that's an improvement I guess. At least he seemed to improve his pocket awareness a little. During the previous weeks, he seemed to run backwards when he was faced with a little pressure.
But yeah, the quicker the Broncos realize that Tebow isn't a long term answer at QB the better they'll be as a franchise. Otherwise, they'll be stuck at 6-9 wins for a long time.
