Cedric Benson Hip injury more serious then expected. Thats why they picked up Larry Johnson. Seems like there are some better backs out there.

As a former coach, The slant pattern if run correctly is the hardest pass to defend and should almost always give you the needed yardage. The Colt defender made a hell of a stop

To much math for a football game conversation.
87% of stats are made up on the spot
That being said, You have to do everything in your power to keep Manning on the sidelines. Was it an unusual call yes. Was it a bad call, maybe, but this is not Jason Campbell at QB. Manning has done the last drive thing to many times to too many teams. If it takes a crazy call to keep him off the field, go for it.
Watching the game, Billy B obviously had more faith in his "O" then his "D". Can you blame him. If he hits the first down, He is the evil genius with mind control.

Stuff like this makes me sad to be a teacher.
I do think it will be a good game. The Steelers have always been tough against the run and will need to shut down "Boat arrest" Benson. They had a little trouble with him last time. If they do that and can get some pressure on Carson, I think they will win. I am looking for a big game from Lamar Woodly and James "beat my girl" Harrison. They are due.
As a Steeler fan, I am a little worried. These are not the "BUNGLES" of old. Here is to hoping they find a way to Bungle it up.
Having watched the TV show hard knocks done with the Bengals this year, I was not expecting them to be this good.

I think it should be a great game. Its a rivalry going in and actually means something for the first time in a few years. Cincy looks stong and I know i would not bet that game. The rookie corners look good too. This week will be a test for them. Palmer finally looks healthy. Sucks losing Henry for the year. He made it hard to double team the "oche" Should be a good one.
I think the "oche" is funny. I dont mind the little back and forth things between teams. At this level of football, I really dont buy the bulletin board material having any real meaning. If him sending mustard would really get the Steelers more fired up to play, then you shouldn't be in the NFL. Whats whong with a little fun.

That could screw up their run of trying to go 25 years of below 500 ball.
I think they are a lock for that one

Recently Cuban spoke to students at a Pittsburgh College. A student asked him about buying the Pirates. Cuban said he tried and did all he could, but they were not willing to sell no matter what he offered. To bad. You know he would pay for a winner. He would prob be worse then Steinbrenner

My friends and i have called him boat arrest benson since he was with chicago. that was not a shot at the bengals and their past history of criminal activity.
cedric wilson and james harrison who hit women, jeff reed got pissed at a towel dispenser, just to name those since Benson became the starter in Cincy...
Trust me I am not the Pittsburgh fan that thinks we are the golden franchise that has no problems.
You left out Matt "piss in public" Spath and Santonio"play at a HIGH level" Holmes

Based on the fact that Tim was also caught with a pipe, I'd say he is an amatuer.
Disagree with that one. If it is good stuff, you rarely need to roll a whole one for just yourself. A nice glass pipe conserves the trees. Just not the best idea to drive around with.

Debo: Your expectations for what constitutes a valid survey seem awfully high to me, given that political polls (a subject of vastly more importance) are extrapolated from much smaller percentages of the groups involved.
While I would agree with you in the sense of a political poll, with 20% being enough of a sampling to get pretty reliable results, there are major differences. In a political poll, you choose person A,B,or C. Most people would know something about the person and you would get good results if the survey was done over a diverse section of the population. If the survey was done in one area, the results would be skewed/squewed. If you took an Obama/McCain poll before the election in "the hood" vs "the deep south" you would get very different results.
That being said, if SI had said we polled 9 random players from all 32 teams(9.25 if you do the math also making me think it is inaccurate) I would believe it but if i dont know the sample, I can't trust the results.
The steelers have not played Tampa Bay in a few years. I would wager if Tampa players were surveyed, more would pick players in their division they play 2 times a year. If 53 players from the Bengals were asked, 52 would say Hines Ward.
All i am saying is I would put more faith in the results if I knew what the sample group was.

The NFL did not suspend Santonio Holmes for the same thing last year. The team did for a game but that was in season.

The survey should be stricken from the record
posted by Debo270 at 12:11 PM on November 06
Only 296? That's more than enough of a sample to get a good idea of which players have the worst reputation for taking cheap shots.
No it is not. There is a good chance many of the players polled have never played against half the teams in the NFL. It does not say players from all 32 teams were polled. most of the dirty players chosen were from AFC teams causeing me to think more AFC players were polled then Nfc. I think this is a very Bias poll.
20% is a good percentage of people to ask if you are looking at a question that has nothing to do with who you are playing every season, but without knowing who was polled, you cannot say this survey has any validity
posted by Debo270 at 11:34 AM on November 06
The survey was conducted by Sports Illustrated, which polled only 296 of the league's 1,693 players.
I would like to know what teams were polled. That may have alot to do with the choices in the article. Thats not even 20% of the NFL's players. Bet Cincy players were polled by the results.

BI, I was Going to say the same thing about Troy, but didnt want to be accused of being a homer. Glad someone agrees. If hitting back makes you dirty, then I would gladly have my whole team called dirty.
I just hate that none of my 'Boys were on the list from either defense or offense.
You can still sorta claim Roy Williams

Joey Porter was a Douchbag. I will agree on that for sure.
posted by Debo270 at 10:07 AM on November 06
Gotta agree Bike nut. Players on defense are just not used to having to have their head on a swivel too. 15 games a season, they see wide recievers that cannot/will not block. Hines takes your head off, he must be dirty. Now i know I am a Steelers fan, but I did read it 2 times like jojo said. If you saw the steelers play every week, you would see he is a tough all around "football" player, not a diva receiver who is scared of contact and cant help in the run game.
Cincy fans do not get a vote because Hines broke that guys jaw on a clean hit and they have hated him since. Sorry, but since Carson got his knee blown out in that playoff game, the Steelers have been public enemy #1.

Maybe if Steinbrenner had not screwed the city out of several hundred million dollars with the property assessments of the land he built the stadium on, they would not be so bad off.

Looks like Kansas city fans need something to entertain themselves since the Chief are not getting it done. Larry Johnson just can win.
posted by Debo270 at 01:53 PM on November 04
I Fail to understand why the Yankees are still pitching to him. Most of the situations he has homered in have not been situations where the free pass to 1st would have been an choice. I dont care if you walk him intentionally or just throw balls to him and see if you can get him to miss bad pitches, but if I managed the Yanks, he would not see another strike thrown his way till spring training.

They would have had a sunday night game if it wasnt originally set to be Philly/NY. I think it was a good move, especially with both games in the same city.

Dunno if it is FPP worthy but it was a real interesting article . It is obviously something that everyone who has ever been on a sports team has joked about and having been in college and HS football locker rooms, I can understand the fear these players would face. Gay athletes have always been tabboo but never for any real reasons other then a perception of what a football player/athlete "should be" Macho, tough, meatheads that could not possibly be gay.

Not sure. I guess that may be the reason but the steelers endzone was just stripes and that wasnt a throwback game. Maybe i am just nuts. It may just be the AFC as a whole. I have not seen alot of NFC games this year yet. Living in Pittsburgh, the TV people think I want to see Cleveland, Baltimore, and Cincy play every week.

Guess i must apologize for my comments about the Broncos made a few weeks ago. Maybe they are for real.
Question: I have noticed during this season that pro teams do not seem to have their name or logo in the endzone anymore. Mostly it is just stripes. Is there a reason for this? If anyone knows please fill me in.
