Why do I dislike Jerry Jones so much?
Richard I am being nice. :D Im all for upsetting the BCS but when Washington does it Im doubly thrilled! Besides I need some sort of solace, my butt is sore from watching the abysmal FAIL of the Seahawks against San Fran. Maybe San Fran will go far :confused: :D
Anyone watch the Cinci Green Bay game? Talk about one not to miss!
...and might I say I'd like to send Da Bears a thank you card! Anyone that beats Pittsburgh gets one from me!Quote:

Don't send it till the end of the season! We're talking about the Bears here - they could still finish 1-15.Quote:

He was set to do the Oakland/Denver game and was banned form the pre production meetings because he was too critical of the team.
Anyway,
The idiots calling the games have elevated both BF and MV as couple of guys who just hit a little speed bump on the way to the NFL.
BF is a prima donna and I can hardly wait for more and more players to start whining about playing extra preseason games.
MV and his smarmy EFF U smirk when they ask him about how he feels about playing in his first game... He pulled a fast on on the dogs, the REAL FANS of football and what is acceptable as far as off-field behavior.
I still don't understand that one, Mr. Commish!
Moron.
There is a rumor going around that Cincinnati beat the Steelers yesterday....
Yesterday was a Red Zone Channel day for sure! So many close games.
I think there were as many Packers fans as Rams fans in the Edward Jones Dome yesterday! I heard "Go Pack Go!" quite a few times.

Blah...what a bad week for my teams :rolleyes:
*hides until next week*
More on that USC player -
Quote:
LOS ANGELES – Southern California tailback Stafon Johnson probably wouldn't have survived his weightlifting accident without his muscular athlete's neck, which helped maintain his airway when a weight bar crashed down on it, a doctor said Tuesday.
Johnson could communicate non-verbally with his family members and teammates on Tuesday morning, less than 24 hours after his bench-pressing accident in the Trojans' weight room. The bar crushed his neck and larynx, which required seven hours of surgery.
Johnson's fitness helped him survive, said Dr. Gudata Hinika, the trauma medical director at California Hospital Medical Center.
Johnson is unlikely to play again for USC, but coach Pete Carroll is grateful for the team leader's improved health.
"He's not talking, but he was doing his wave and writing," Carroll said. "It's very uplifting for his mom and his family and all the guys who got a chance to go down there."
Hinika said Johnson is recovering well and is in stable condition. Johnson, who was taken away from USC's campus wearing a neck brace, woke up Tuesday morning after undergoing an emergency tracheotomy, followed by reconstructive surgery.
Johnson's mother, Kim Mallory, happened to be working at the same downtown Los Angeles hospital where her son was transported Monday.
It's unclear when Johnson will be able to speak again, but he's expected to fully recover. The news was greeted with sighs of relief at USC's Heritage Hall, where the seventh-ranked Trojans gathered before Tuesday's practice in preparation for Saturday's key game at No. 24 California.
"We're connected. This is a very tight program and a very tight team," Carroll said. "Stafon has been a spiritual leader and a leader on the field for a long time here. We're going to do everything we can to support him and his family. This morning, everyone has been encouraged."
On a happy note this week...Yay Oregon!
And on a much more annoyed note...BOO Seattle!!! They looked like garbage! Way to score two tuchdowns at the last minute when you are down by MORE THAN TWO SCORES. :mad:
RICHARD where are you, I need a hug...

Armed Forces Tripleheader
By Tim Lemke, Washington Times
Oct. 5, 2009
You've got Army. You've got Navy. You've got Air Force. And they're all playing, one right after another, in a tripleheader on Saturday on CBS College Sports.
The cable network is taking advantage of this rare scenario to proclaim it "Armed Forces Appreciation Week," with classic games featuring the service academies and profiles of current and former players.
CBS College will also offer a free preview for all cable and satellite subscribers this week.
The Armed Forces Network will simulcast the games to miltary installations overseas.
The football schedule will be as follows:
Vanderbilt at Army: 12 noon ET
Navy at Rice: 3:30 p.m. ET
TCU at Air Force: 7:30 p.m. ET
Prior to each game, there will be an on-field ceremony with team captains honoring Army football alum Pete Dawkins, Navy football alum Joe Bellino and Air Force footbal alum Chad Hennings with footballs and American flags that originated with troops overseas.
Another intriguing tidbit worth noting is that CBS golf analyst David Feherty will serve as a sideline reporter for the Navy-Rice game. The amusing Scotsman is involved with the Troops First Foundation, and created a charity devoted to soldiers wounded by Improvised Explosive Devices (IED's.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CBS does a fantastic job broadcasting the Service Academy games. They are actually on the CBS College Sports channel. Then CBS does the Army-Navy game in December.
http://www.navygear.com/store/graphi...nner_thumb.jpg
The games will be played on OCT. 10......
Vanderbilt at Army: OT, Army W 16-13
Navy at Rice: Navy W -63-14
TCU at Air Force: AF L 20-17.

U.S.A makes it into the 2010 World Cup...:D

And Thank George the Rams are worse than the Raiders?:rolleyes:

California School Has a Montana and a Gretzky at Quarterback
By KAREN CROUSE
WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif. — In the halls of the Oaks Christian School, students’ artwork is displayed next to pieces by Charles Arnoldi, a noted American painter who uses tree branches in his compositions. Twigs from lofty family trees are also arranged, to arresting effect, by Coach Bill Redell on the rectangular canvas that is the football field.
Quarterback Nick Montana is the son of Joe Montana, who led the San Francisco 49ers to four Super Bowl victories and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2000. His backup is Trevor Gretzky, whose father, Wayne, won four Stanley Cups and proceeded directly to the Hockey Hall of Fame after retiring as the N.H.L.’s career leading scorer.
The composition of the Oaks Christian Lions, who are 5-0 and ranked fifth in the country by USA Today, ensures that each game has the feel of a movie premiere, with fans in the stands staring at the fathers as they watch their sons play.
Trevor Gretzky insisted that people recognized Nick Montana’s father more often than his own at the games. “Especially my generation; no one really knows who he is,” Trevor said of his father. “People don’t notice him compared with Joe Montana.”
That was not necessarily true when the Lions played recently at Venice High School. After the game, while his mother, Janet Jones, fell into conversation with other parents on the field, a steady stream of people drifted over to his father to have photographs taken with him. As Wayne Gretzky walked toward the exit, fans continued to give chase. Between poses, he pleaded, “Janet, let’s go!”
Nick Montana’s father watches games from the top row of bleachers, a foam cup of coffee in one hand and a baseball cap low on his forehead. Shortly after Nick threw an interception at Venice, Joe Montana cupped his hands over his mouth and shouted in his son’s direction. Nick was oblivious, but a teammate nudged him and gestured in his father’s direction.
Looking up, Nick Montana saw his father point his fingers at his eyes and motion as if he were trying to bail water out of a boat. He wanted his son to go through his receiver progressions. Later, Nick Montana shrugged and said, “I had no idea.”
He was a toddler in 1994 when his father played his 15th and final N.F.L. season, with Kansas City. Trevor was 6 in 1999 when his father wrapped up his 20-year N.H.L. career, with the Rangers. Because they cannot remember much of their fathers’ playing days, each has Rose Mary Woods-like gaps in his knowledge of his father’s career.
During an ESPN interview last year, Nick Montana said he did not know the player on the receiving end of the Catch. (It was Dwight Clark.) Trevor Gretzky, who is 6 feet 4 inches and took a turn in goal at his father’s fantasy camp in Canada two years ago, drew a blank when his father said he filled the net like Ken Dryden, the 6-4 Hall of Fame goaltender who won six Stanley Cups with the Montreal Canadiens.
The sons recognize that their fathers’ achievements are better known to many others. They also accept that people make presumptions about them based on their fathers’ athletic reputations.
“People think you’re snobby, you’re into yourself, you have a big head,” Nick Montana said with a sigh.
They kill the assumptions with humility and do their best to blend in. As their teammate Brian Fifita said, “They’re just kids trying to be kids.”
Trevor Gretzky, a 17-year-old junior, is four inches taller than his father, an elongated clone physically but otherwise his own person. By the time Wayne Gretzky was 17, he had set a single-season scoring record for the Ontario Major Junior Hockey League. Trevor does not mind being Nick Montana’s understudy, saying, “To be a starter at quarterback here at Oaks is such an honor, you have to wait your turn.”
Trevor Gretzky began his high school football career as a linebacker, and he is also attracting the interest of N.C.A.A. Division I colleges as a catcher in baseball. After seeing his fluid throwing motion behind the plate, Janet Jones had a hunch he would be a good quarterback. She arranged for him to meet Steve Clarkson, a quarterbacks coach based in Southern California whose list of clients includes the Arizona Cardinals’ Matt Leinart and Notre Dame’s Jimmy Clausen, a former Oaks Christian star.
“Will you just tell me I’m not crazy?” she asked Clarkson.
At first, her son did not know how to grip the football properly, and his first few throws sailed end over end like punts. But he caught on quickly.
Clarkson said, “I remember calling up Coach Redell and saying, ‘You’re not going to believe this, but Janet was right.’ ”
Redell, 69, was no stranger to Wayne Gretzky, who remembered him as a quarterback for the Canadian Football League franchise in Hamilton. In 1967, Redell led the Tiger-Cats to the Grey Cup.
Wayne Gretzky accompanied his son to his introductory meeting with Redell and said, “Did you know I got your autograph when I was 9 years old?”
Without missing a beat, Redell winked at the younger Gretzky and said, “See, I was the Great One before your father.”
Trevor Gretzky is not in direct competition with his father’s legend, for which he considers himself blessed.
He cannot imagine trying to be the Greater One.
“I think Nick’s situation is 10 times harder than mine,” he said. “My dad was in a whole different sport. They can’t compare my stats to his.”
Nick Montana, 17, a senior, moved with his family to Southern California last year to be closer to Clarkson, his personal coach. He enrolled at Oaks Christian, whose passing offense was a major drawing point. Upon arriving on campus, he bonded with Trevor, one of the few other teenagers on the planet whose father is a sports icon.
“We probably talked about it once,” Nick Montana said. “I asked him about his dad in Canada and what it’s like when he’s there, like, does he get mobbed?”
At 6-3, Montana, who has committed to Washington, is an inch taller than his father. The resemblance is so striking that when he throws on the run, one nearly expects to see Jerry Rice downfield.
“Nobody has as much pressure as he does, being the son of a Hall of Famer,” Clarkson said. “But he’s not fazed by his last name. He’s not rattled by anything. If he has a bad play, it’s followed up by seven, eight or nine great plays. His personality is very eerily Joe-like.”
One of Nick Montana’s favorite receivers is Trey Smith, a junior who is developing into a Division I prospect, Redell said. Trey’s father is the actor Will Smith, who has cleared his schedule so he can attend every game.
“I’ve heard some kids at our school saying, ‘I’m going to go to the game to see Will,’ ” Trevor Gretzky said with a lopsided grin. At that moment, he could have passed for his father.
Westlake-T.O. is an elite private school "over the hill" and Clarkson runs a QB 'school' that cranks out QBs like nobody's business.
The P.S.'s out here crank out very good athlete's and if they specialize in a sport? They get waiting lists of kids and parents who want to play for the programs.
I saw Joe Montana play yesterday- that was 15 years ago?
BS!;)
It's really neat to see sons of former NFL players coming up in this generation (the Manning brothers; Howie Long's son, Chris Simms, etc.) In a game Saturday Ironhead Heyward's son played for Ohio State and Al Toon's kid played for Wisconsin! I think Jerry Rice's son is in high school.
One odd bit of trivia: James Laurinitis (sp?), who plays for the Rams, is the son of wrestler "Road Warrior Animal".:p
:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Just another reason to :rolleyes: at this season lolQuote:

That wasn't even the worst part of that game. Oh my! That was ugly. :eek: It was like a car accident. I couldn't change the channel. And since I'm in Tennessee, they showed the entire game!
On the upside, #12 set a new NFL record.......most TD passes in a quarter.:D
