Daily Thread: Broom Weekend

She is attractive, but that whole Boston homer thing is such a turn-off.

:rollseyes:

Having standards must get in the way of a few good times for you, huh Nasty?

"Mariano is the best closer in the game today." - Yankees fans

He WAS for years, but it's looking to this admittedly biased Red Sox fan that Koji Uehara
has moved past him.

I LOVED watching Rivera blow 2 saves this weekend!

Who are the people that actually vote on this stuff?

Baseball is popular in North and South America, Asia, and the Caribbean. Is it because the French don't like it?

Baseball isn't as popular in Mexico, Latin America or South America as you might think.

What is this celebrating a football win you all speak of? I have no idea what that feels like

Uehara moved past Mo because of a two month stretch of dominance?

gimme a break

A few hours in now, I am kind of surprised there is no mention yet of the guy who took the drunken header at the 49er game this weekend, killing himself.

Did that not make national news, or, as this was football, is it just "oh well, another one"?

Pretty depressing. Always seems more tragic when someone dies in an accident doing something that should have been fun. My neighbor went to Disneyworld recently and he said while they were there a 12 yr old boy drown in the resort swimming pool. It's hard to imagine the parents grief having to go back home without their kid.

where were the parents when the kid drowned?

not trying to be rude here, just curious

there was a public swimming pool here, near boston, dead person at bottom for days, nobody noticed and people were swimming it

unreal

If that is in fact Maria Menounos in that pic, then I will and can happily give her both YOUNG (35) and HOT.

But, that is pretty easy for me, being OLD and NOT.......

Too much Dudley Dooright in the chin area...

I live in Astoria, Queens, which is home to more hot female greeks than anywhere outside of Greece. I've see better looking than that at the laundromat. BUT, Mark Twain said "difference of opinion is what makes for a horserace," so I ain't hatin' on anyone who would find her attractive.

After all, she's wearing clothes in that pic.

I should have mentioned that this woman is 5' 1".

Made me look........

Welcome to the new America.

Most everyone is looking out for # 1, while looking at others like they are a pile of # 2.

I don't know. He was telling me something about Disneyworld having so many resort pools that don't have fences or lifeguards. A little kid could get out and jump in a pool anything they want to. I'm sure once the grief lessens, the parents are going to start seeing dollar signs and Disney will want to cut a quick check to make this go away.

What is it about Mediterranean women?

Maybe Eli shouldn't have been the MVP of the first SB. He assuredly should have in the 2nd one.

I don't know about assuredly, but in the absence of nobody else stepping up, they give it to the QB. He did throw for almost 300 yards, and a (2yd) TD. They weren't going to give it to Manningham for the one catch and a 5/73 line, and though Ahmad Bradshaw ran 17/72, the Pats let him score his touchdown. Nicks had 10/109, but no TD.

In 2011, the Pats D ranked 31st in yards allowed, and 30th in yards per play. They were 25th in yds/rush, and 29th in yds/pass attempt. They gave up 292 pass yards per game, so what Eli did against them wasn't anything different than what most other QB's were doing.

I guess if you asked me who should have been the MVP of SB 46, I would have to reluctantly say Eli, but not because of his spectacular play in the game.

Wanna watch millions of football fans lose their collective minds? Have there be a game and situation where the Super Bowl M.V.P is a punter. And, said punter is actually the most deserving player of the award in the game.

How Super could that Bowl have been for this to happen?

Pretty boring, but I guess it could happen if that punter pins the other team inside their 10 or 5 yd line consistently, the D holds, and they get good field position or a turnover.

The two Giants wins were certainly exciting games, but I didn't think there was a clear cut MVP.

 

[ImSmartherThanYou]

does that guy on the right have Direct TV?

Just wanted to let you know that I enjoyed this. Carry on.

Uehara moved past Mo because of a two month stretch of dominance?

This is why RSG is one of the better sox fan on here...he is not a blind homer.

I could see giving it to Tuck in the first Pats SB. Had a couple of sacks and was getting pressure on Brady all day. Tyree should have also gotten consideration. Made one of the most talked about catches in SB history, and caught a TD as well.

And not for nothing, all Eli did was throw 2 4th Quarter TDs to beat the unbeatable Pats. I can see why he was selected as well.
