I am not a huge Carr apologist, there are certainly some throws he should make that he misses and some decisions that are not great upon review. That being said, the Raiders organization (and I have been following them since the 70s...) is a complete mess: HC: Tony Sparano 3/9 - .250 Jack Del...

? I don't get this post.. he's currently alive.. did I miss something?

Haven't been here in a while, I joined a company a while back and was traveling globally most of the time.. really hard to keep up on 3-4 games a week. After I upgraded to a 77 inch oled screen, the wife could finally see the puck and she now really enjoys playoff hockey. She's >40, and...

Jesus F*^*#ing Christ on a toothpick... ANY idiot from Oakland who still supporting this team is an absolute fool. That whole 'committed to winning in Oakland' was bullsh!t from the beginning. So now Coop is gone, with promises of no more trades... LOL. Next (or rather soon) will be Carr...

Boy it was nice to be out of the country where I didn't have to see this team spiraling further into the toilet. I guess now the word is we are shopping Cooper and Joseph... Gruden's work to completely dismantle this team is nearly complete - to be honest I can't wait for them to move to Las...

You can say that again... I remember this well from the 98-2001 time frame. Essentially some 50/50 to 70/30 pass run mix and aggressive down the field plays until about a 10-14 point lead and then its run-or-die on 1st and 2nd and an occasional 'hope for it' pass on 3rd for the rest of the...

oh - and that last drive by the Broncos... SOOO glad we traded Mack so we had money to sign Tahir Whitehead. He looked awesome on that drive.. should have been wearing orange.

If you are talking about that pass to Sutton I have to disagree there. I think his foot was 100% in bounds at first (I thought it was a TD) but then it slid out before his knee touched. There were other spots that I think Denver had far more legitimate gripes over... I think Lynch got a first...

HATE, hate, hate the Broncos (I shiver every time I pass 'Elways' at DIA on the way to the terminal) but I have to agree. This one is on that stupid f##ktard Gruden.. 2nd and 9 and you run that washed up idiot into the middle with a stacked D line? You shouldn't have been there in the first...

That is sort of the way I understood it. The more details that sneak out and platitudes I hear the more this just p!sses me off. I am not sure I agree with that - I think the Raiders screwed this up when the re-signed Carr first (and over paid imho). That was pre-Gruden and they were already...

btw - you now have a jpeg for your profile instead of that unsightly question mark!

No kidding... The Sens went from nearly a Stanley Cup team to crap in a fantastically short amount of time. A lot of picks (1st round) could go to them depending on signing and making playoffs... but I'd say we are STACKED on the blue line now. wow...

ugh.. not even through the first half of the Bears/Packers game and Mack has a 1/2 sack on the play that takes Rodgers out and then a sack and fumble recovery on the Packers' first real chance to score in this game - IE timely big play. Funny - I just heard the comment, "he's probably better...

I'll be happy if we make it out of the game and Carr isn't out for the year.

Horrible, stupid move.. and this was a long time coming. I like Carr a lot but they should have locked Mack first. Reasons? Carr has had significant back-to-back injuries (albeit at the time he had only snapped a leg. He is shaky under center, this limits play options (hell - he broke a...

*yawn*.. Sort of woke up on game 3 & 4.. saw game 5 and knew exactly how game 6 would go. Meh... 25 years and still going... Cant really follow them much anymore when I am on the road all the time, but this team looks much more competitive than from 2-3 years ago. Faster, quicker...

That's a fair point - I don't presume that its "easy" and I 100% believe that supporting cast has a lot to do with making the finals and succeeding there. In fact, this Sharks team is a great example of that having more depth and quality on the bottom two lines of forwards and bottom line of...

Yes - second place happened once in 15 years - and second half of that statement was pointing out that it seemed that had to do more with some of the supporting cast then the two big names. I would take the Kane/Towes pair 10 out of 10 times over the Thornton/Marleau pair. Its not that I don't...

Saw we made a few minor trades: (old) May 26: to Det F Dylan Sadowy To: SJ 2017 3rd-Round Pick and then: June 20: To Sharks F Maxim Letunov, 2017 6th-Rd Pick To Coyotes 2016 4th-Rd Pick, 2017 3rd-Rd Pick I think the Sharks have to seriously look at breaking up the Thornron/Marleau...

I think they played pretty well for 40 minutes - the first two periods had good intensity and hustle but small lapses in the defensive zone immediately went to the back of the net. Stupid turnovers and mistakes should have cost us 4 goals - so Jones deserves some free dinners for sure. I...

Nice - No need to reprint in entirety.. Getting that first goal is pretty important from a momentum stand point, but they almost shit the bed after getting the first two last game. I think my keys are: Play a full 60 minutes of Hockey: Chances are some of the guys are never going to see this...

meh - I think Malkin just made a Gretzky like play off his skate... I am less upset about that and more upset about why Malkin has the good chance in the first place. Overall though they ALL have to be better in their own zone and that means all 5 on the ice.

I thought that Braun had a pretty good game too - and he was super busy. At some point they just need to realize that the "chip up the boards" play just means the Pen keep it in the zone. They really need to start moving their feet a lot more and making some smarter plays.. I don't know how...

He really stood on his head. Tough loss for your boys - good luck on Sunday!

Perfect example of how NOT to play in your own zone: Letang comes in 1 on 3 and they let him skate through and get the puck... and we spend the next 5 minutes in our zone. PLANT HIS ASS THROUGH THE GOD DAMN FLOOR! there's three of you there... ugh.
