NY was a bad situation for him, and I don't see another NFL team issuing a High school type playbook like Denver did, he needs to accept the fact that QB is not an option like many players do, and then he can possibly have a good pro career, and continue be loved and to spread his message.

This should not be an issue for Stern, this is a team issue. If the Lakers don't want this strategy used against them then fix it! Its just like in baseball, it your pitching staff cant compete with a hitter and you keep walking him, you dont get to change the strike zone because your pitcher cant beat him.

I find myself watching the game I love a little less as time go's on and I think this idea, if implemented, will push me over the edge.

If its true that U of Florida is afraid of FSU joining the SEC that seems crazy not to ad a powerfull school if you can. thats why I think the Big 10 is better off with NE than Mizzou & were courting N.D. forever.

Atheist,..Nfl player's contract's are not garenteed, meaning players do not get to leave without a trade or buyout. They would have to sit out at least a season, but owners can dump players at anytime for any reason! Not quite fair as you think.

Penalties for what? this is not an NCAA issue, this had nothing to do with the football team or athletic program itself, Sandusky has not been employed by the school in a long time. He was just granted permision to use the facilities for his so called "Youth Program."

"Where'd the 39 tackles count come from? Football Reference said he made 492"
In my love for bashing Deion, I tried to get away with forgetting the fact that official stats were not kept on tackles before 2001, which makes his total at 39, any others are not official.

I think when you play defense, you have to "tackle the man with the ball" & having 39 tackles in an NFL career is a joke, and the HOF should be ashamed!

I would love to see Orlando VS Denver in the finals! I know the league, the networks, Vegas, & "Band Wagon fans" everywere would be hurt, but the NBA needs to be more about the game & less about the hype and the money. It would be a nice change.

If you blame Kroenke Sports, then you can blame the lakers for letting a "Beat Up", Houston team (missing its two best players) take them to seven games. All the planets had to line up for this to happen, & I think the NBA can move that game back and everyone would be happy.

I agree 100% rcade, I wish they would stop trying to turn football into "Reality TV!" If the game itself is not enough draw for the big networks, then I'll gladly watch on an obscure cable channel. I may have to turn the volume off and turn on the radio.

I keep waiting for this "Western Domination" over the east that the media has been telling me about for years! They rack up alot of regular season wins and they score alot of points, but when it comes down to it (exeption S.A.), they don't compare on defence with the playoff teams of the east. I don't know why Boston seemed like the underdog, but I'm am glad they won the way they did! (Oh,...& Dumars ain't done yet.)

Good job, Big Dave! Too many important games are being decided by the refs and not the players. I'm all for "hard ass" officials, but they need to try & be more unbiased.
