You know how Hedo is the Michael Jordan of Turkey? I’d like everybody to start referring to DJ Mbenga as the Popeye Jones of Belgium. It really won’t come up that often, except when he gets dunked on in garbage time, so it’s not much of a commitment.

They really are pathetic. They might only beat one team all season, and that team is an in-state I-AA school who this past Saturday struggled to beat another I-AA school with a 35-game losing streak.

don’t worry about giving TBL half of it. He jumped off the Jets bandwagon yesterday. His post is going to be about “fans like Jersey” with unrealistic expectations.

My mother has run the NYC 3 times, this shit freaks me out.
October 19th, 2009 at 8:33 am
So Tyler is the lead play by play for South Africa. Why don’t they tell us who the analyst will be? Anyone?
October 19th, 2009 at 8:33 am
So hoping for a full recovery and second guessing his decision are mutually exclusive? That’s what this is arguing? Even as a Texas fan I have no grudge against Bradford and hope he comes back 100 percent. That said, it was an insanely stupid idea to pass up top 5 money to come back and play behind an offensive line EVERYBODY knew was terrible.
October 19th, 2009 at 8:34 am
Why don’t they tell us who the analyst will be?
Because it’s nearly a year from now. Oh, also because it’s reasonably irrelevant.
October 19th, 2009 at 8:38 am

I just read the article, and it seems like it’s going to be Andy Gray, though it doesn’t confirm it. They considered Gray’s input in hiring this Tyler, and they are broadcast partners on Sky, and the have that same director who just got hired, and Gray has already been working for ESPN.
October 19th, 2009 at 8:40 am
it is utopia for irish.
October 19th, 2009 at 8:43 am
Seriously Sparty, the Yankees need to win the world series this year, or I might be staying off the grid for a little bit.
October 19th, 2009 at 8:47 am
Huh? Actually it’s just 8 months. And how is it irrelevant? If it’s irrelevant than isn’t the post about the play by play guy irrelevant. Sweet. Another soccer hater feeling compelled to tell everyone else they hate soccer. Wow, so fucking original.
October 19th, 2009 at 8:47 am
Gotta figure many millions of dollars were lost in the Cotton Bowl on Sat. Bradford probably drops to mid-low first round from top 5, poof goes 30 million. McCoy continued to show he is a short fraud, I cant see him going any higher than mid 2nd round.
Get paid as much as you can as soon as you can boys, never any guarantees.
October 19th, 2009 at 8:48 am
Woops, didn’t see your follow up. Would be sweet if they got Gray and Tyler together. Balboa was a complete laughign stock 4 years ago. Had ESPN never heard him speak before? Did they blindly hire him and hope for the best? What an embarrassment.
October 19th, 2009 at 8:50 am
hey fart face, I like soccer. 8 months is nearly a year, and on top of that, you can use your context clues to figure the answer out, without bitching into a room where soccer fans aren’t.
You should start your day visiting soccer blogs, instead of blogs where the majority of people prefer predominantly American professional sports. Then, send your relevant links to Duffy or TBL, and try to expand the knowledge base of the people here, instead of just bitching every time soccer is mentioned in passing.

I’m not bitching. Why can’t I comment here about soccer? Isn’t this a sports blog? Wasn’t there a link to soccer on this blog? And since when is 66% considered close to 100%? 8 months is nowhere near a year dude. Also, there is an American Professional soccer league, it’s called the MLS. I just was wondering who the analyst might be. Which you thusly answered. Thank you.

Jersey: I was just reading the Nantz comments; this is like the tenth time I’ve seen you comment about hopefully being wealthy in the future. Is this like all you think about? Did you grow up mad poor, or rich? You seem obsessed by it. I mean, not like thats a terrible thing. Pretty American I guess. And kinda, well dominated by a certain ethnic group. But I don’t wanna get everybody’s panties in a bunch by naming them. But seriously, you are obsessed with being rich yo.

Martin Tyler and Andy Gray would be badass if ESPN can pull that off. having played Fifa for 10 years having those two do games would be so fucking cool.
Other thoughts:
-Good lawd!! Mark Sanchez sucks donkey dong.
-Falcons>Bears. Eat it, Monte.
-The Patriots game was the most ridiculous NFL game I’ve ever seen.
October 19th, 2009 at 9:04 am
TBL, I’d say right now a weakening dollar is good. One, it makes our products more affordable worldwide, increasing exports and helping manufacturing. on a macro level, the fact that investors aren’t flocking to the dollar means that they are confident the world economy isn’t going off a cliff. a rising tide lifts all boats.

-The Patriots game was the most ridiculous NFL game I’ve ever seen.
when you’re letting Laurence Maroney bust off big plays against you, you really suck. That game was on, in my house, and I was preferentially doing housework.

He has a right to be upset. He wasn’t told who else would be talking on the television during a soccer matches that start 235 days from now. It’s a national tragedy.

so it turns out that the officials at the Arkansas-florida game were the same ones that did the lsu-georgia game. shocker after watching the game last saturday. i’m not even blaming the loss on that, but officiating in the sec all-around is horrible.
October 19th, 2009 at 9:38 am
gods…there are no other options.
they need to get someone who knows how to coach offense in there fast. like, yesterday fast. then again, i don’t know how much i can blame pryor considering the offensive line is an unmitigated disaster. how the fuck can you get your asses kicked up front by a PURDUE DL that you outweigh by 60 lbs at every position? HOW THE FUCK IS THAT POSSIBLE?!?!?!
not only should OSU’s OL coach bollman get fired, he should be shot in both kneecaps.
October 19th, 2009 at 9:46 am
Spence, I don’t know why, maybe it’s because I truly hate Michigan, and DEEP DOWN, kind of maybe respect OSU. But Tressel has gotta take a trip down to Austin or Gainesville this spring, just like the Paternos did a couple years ago, and get some stuff from those guys spread offenses. Pryor is very capable of being the right hand of God when it comes to being a qb, especially in the Big 10. He is just getting misused. Badly.
October 19th, 2009 at 10:16 am
Hey JPQ: Go fuck yourself
October 19th, 2009 at 10:21 am
jersey…the whole offense is being misused. it’s not just pryor. for all the hype he got, LT mike adams, RT JB shugarts and C michael brewster are all not where they should be considering how dominant each was in the highest level of high school ball in OH, texas and florida.
it’s an offense wide epidemic.
and go down to austin? so mack brown can teach him texas’ NCAA 2006 offense? no thanks.
October 19th, 2009 at 10:22 am

I love this blog, but everyone who comments here are fucking vaginas. Like PC bullshit. It pisses me off, makes me never want to comment, which I barely do, and I don’t think I will ever again. Which I’m sure will make everyone happy. Mother fucking pussies.

I get into it more than 90% of the people on here probably, and most times I don’t even meant to/want to. I say something (like I did in another post), and get a couple responses that I would have normally responded to. Not meanly or rudely, but to try and make the point I didn’t make in the original comment. I didn’t bother, because I don’t feel like having a pissing match for an hour over some stupid comment that isn’t gonna change either person’s mind anyway.

You are all over the place with your comments Fav, but obviously if you are saying this you have somehow missed many, many comments by me that many loathe in this regard.
Anyway, I try to stick to sports opinion more now, but when someone with a losing team cracks another team and has nothing to stand on other than their status as Seabass wherever they live in states like OH,PA,NY,NY and in much of the South, they have it coming and please do join in the rightful bashing.
October 19th, 2009 at 1:38 pm
And Fav, I do agree that it seems that way too many pussies on here have been too conditioned by their HR department, if not also some ninnie in their lives, wherever they work to comment realistically on here.
On the other hand, good thing we are not a bunch of guys meeting in a bar over booze, or there would be guaranteed fights and bloodshed that way.
And for the “free speech” crowd, be in mind that speech is free worldwide but is never, ever, without consequences both positive and adverse and like it or not the line is drawn by someone somewhere. How the most indicting comments are dealt with, which is often favourably in this medium, is the key.
So we have a happy medium here.
