After these men are aressted and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, you can turn around and ask them 1 simple question. Are you violent men CHRISTENS? they will look at you in the eye, and say!!! Yes we are.

USC (Southern Cal) ranking

jedwan — Sun, 11 Dec 2011 01:16:19 +0000

It’s amazing to me that the only rankings that have the guts and the rules to rank USC (Univ. of Southern California) is the AP, which voted USC #5 in the country. The Harris, USA Today, and BCS just make less sense without USC. Yes, USC can’t appear in a bowl game due to transgressions from way back when Reggie Bush played there, and an ‘example’ was made of USC, right or wrong. But the bowl and recruiting restrictions shouldn’t punish what this year’s team accomplished. They beat Oregon, at Oregon, lost to Stanford in triple overtime after fumbling the ball in the red zone when they could have won that game, and blew out UCLA 50-0 (worst defeat in that rivalry in 81 years! USC did blow a couple of games fairly early in the season, but came back strong. The other polls have no good reason to just bow down to the BCS—they should simply do their job and rank teams where they belong. Even the BCS could rank teams on restriction, simply allowing any restrictions to be carried out. USC just got caught (apparently—never was an admission of guilt that I recall) doing what many other teams have done and had the good fortune to not get caught. I am not condoning USC’s past actions,nor here to discuss the validity or severity of those restrictions; just to say: Why should something that happened before even ONE of the current players chose to go to USC, let alone went there, limit the public recognition of this team’s achievements?

IF THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN BRADY, HE WOULD BE A GOD TODAY

jedwan — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 22:52:48 +0000

This fan has has had enough of the abuse Big Ben has gotten, and not getting the respect he NOW deserves. Yes he was stupid, still not sure as stupid has Brett Favre texting pictures of his **bleep** to women, no wait this league treats certain players different.

I watched that game last night, I cringed when I saw what happened to Ben, that hurt like a mother. I was amazed, when he came back out, and won that game. This man deserves the respect (kinda like Vick) now, but wait the haters. Okay haters, would your team take Big Ben has QB , yea right, your pants are on fire.

This Steeler fan knows this new NFL needs a first rate QB, we have it. I wil bet, this team has a rematch with the GBP in the Super Bowl. Maybe, maybe not, this fan is loving this QB, and guess what he is going to out live this forum, LOL.

Another concussion…..pitiful tackling

Vegas odds in RE: Bama/LSU as oppsed to LSU/Okie St.

jedwan — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 05:05:55 +0000

So the BCS National Championship Game started out with LSU favored by 1 to 1.5, then went to a pick ‘em, and some places have Bama favored by 1 to 1.5. I talked to a good friend who owns a service tonight and asked him the spread of the game (which I already knew) and he said he would have started that game at a pick ‘em. I then asked him what he thought it would be if Oklahoma St. had been in the game instead of Alabama, and he told me at least LSU +14, and said he would not have accepted bets on LSU in a game against Oklahoma St. without having LSU as a 17 point favorite.

So for all you people out there who think Oklahoma St. would play LSU a great game, it looks as though the people who do this stuff for a living disagree. That’s just a little food for thought.

Maybe the SEC really is better than everyone else….ya’ think?

Suh Has Car Wreck and Two Women Claim Injury

jedwan — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 12:34:54 +0000

Link

This is pathetic. I bet Suh doesn’t even know these women, and I find it very suspicious that they weren’t anywhere to be seen at the accident site when police arrived within two minutes of the accident occuring. I think these are two obvious gold diggers who remind me of people who show up at a train wreck claiming they are passengers just to get in on the class action law suits. They play the “legal lottery” because it’s free and they hope to cash in.
