yup.. played in Highschool all four years and was the captain of the team.. something to do.. can't watch it on tv and would never pay to see it in real life

God I love America.

Think the GM announcement happens today? Or do you think they wait until tomorrow late morning or early afternoon?

Aren't we missing a couple 0's? We don't need Matt Ellis hulking the (frank) out for being insulted here..just throw money at him until he's satisfied. For the greater good.
- TheSabresTaco

Nah.. MFE doesn't need the money.. he poops gold so that is not a big deal for him

I'm generally known for having a pretty open mind. Don't knock it till ya tried it.

Soccer is awful. Played it. Watched it. Awful. My personal opinion.
- TheSabresTaco

see now I think American football is awful, can only play once a week, one position, have so many f'ing time outs it drags on for hours and if the get a stubbed toe can't play.... I've met dancers tougher then that.....

i thought about pointing that out earlier... i decided not to

its very true its like baseball to latin america

its a way out as they say in brazil its the way out of the barrio

So what you're saying is it's watchable, you just don't appreciate the amount of physical labor it takes to be a football player. And that they're wimps.

Or is it awful for you to watch as well. I mean, during the first 3.8 quarters.

You have a valid argument on the time outs but most of that is for the $ side of things. A high school game is done in about an hour and a half. No TV timeouts. You could watch a soccer game on TV go take a crap and the ball could still be around mid-field. So much random time is wasted in a soccer game.

On the playing only once a week MLS teams only play once a week if I am not mistaken.

Nah, too late in the day, IMO. Seems more like an early afternoon type thing (like with Lafontaine and Nolan), plus some notice a few hours before that there will be a press conference.

Of course he doesn't NEED the money. That's obvious. It's more like a sign of respect. I just don't want to wake up one day with MFE sitting on a giant throne of self made gold on Ellis Island sending Americans back to their native lands, like a sacrifice of such.

I just prefer to play it safe is all.

Often a club competes in more then one league, so usually 2 games a week and only 2 month off season or so....


About midfield play, I highly doubt that.....

I'm too American to know things like that.

Kidding. If that's true, gotta eliminate that from the counterpoint!

Another thing that doesn't make any sense to me.

It's true for MLS teams (I had to look up the schedule to verify it)

You cant say often thats like 10% of all clubs and the ones that do are the top clubs whos reserve teams could win the mls blindfolded

I must have missed that, where did you see that

I'm just saying I would imagine they would put out notice a few hours before they have said press conference (not that there's notice now).

I'm highly certain most sports feature players that primarily only play one position. Of course, some players change positions over time. Dustin Byfuglien, Brent Burns, Aaron Williams of the Bills.. Soccer players are forwards, midfielders, defenders or goalies. What's wrong with that?

Or am I missing something

The NFL is losing my interest. Too many rules, the refs dont know the rules. What is a catch V what isint a catch. Did he maintain possesion while making a football move? What is a football move? Time to go review it.

One pinky = two feet
One elbow = Two feet
calf = Two feet
One foot = fail

Ah okay misunderstood. The Patty announcement leaked at what 9 am? Presser began at 11? There is still time tonight but I agree tomorrow makes more sense, however doing it tonight would pi$$ off TBN writers so I am all for that

This!!!! I can get behind this 100%. The same could be said in soccer. How much extra time when do they end the game all of that stuff is just weird. I understand the offsides rule but that is weird to me

As annoying as some of those reviews are, you gotta remember. This isn' an 80+ game season. You only get 16 games. Every catch, every run, every throw can mean the difference between playoffs and Bills.

Maybe they want a pre game event to happen, Maybe he comes down on a zip line or from teh rafters like old sabretooth

Side note.
My wife just asked what that annoying sound was.
I said it's your mother breathing.
