The NFL

“A win is a win, and this one was awesome.

As for the call, "technically" the call was right if you are literall with the rule book.

But what about the roughing thekicker on the other side. I say the whole game was refereeing nightmare, but lets not take away from what manning and the Colts did.

They had to put up three quick scores and they did it. And, they had to stop the bucs and they did that.

Next week at Carolina for the battle of the unbeatens. Any bets?”

“Bucs Sucks”

“we go into the defending world champions house and beat them and dont move up in espn's powerpoll? somethings wrong with that.”

“i read somewhere that vandys second kick was going wide right, until one of the tb defenders partially deflected it good. thats cosmic justice for the mike doss interception/fumble. if colts would have lost, he defineitely would have been a big goat (but not the only one)”

“2scoops the Colts are Number 1 in the Sportsline poll for the second week.”

“Scoops, we may have to have that Superbowl party yet! BTW, where's your holloween handle? How about 2spooks?”

“keyshawn johnson was talking smack about my man harrison during the game "so thats how he gets his catches, huh?"

YEA thats how he gets his catches, bizotch. thats how he has more catches than you, more yards than you, more yards per catch, and more touchdowns than you. oh yea, and the same goes for our number TWO receiver, reggie wayne, who also has all of the above. because they dont just work hard when the cameras ON them, theyre busy running their routes to perfection or selling fake routes to get open. im not trying to dump on the bucs, i just cant stand kj.”

“ASHBURN, Va. -- Washington Redskins linebacker LaVar Arrington looked directly into the TV camera and delivered a sharp message to Warren Sapp.

"Sapp," Arrington said, "I'm going to get you."

Much like the contrived trash talk engendered by broadcast reporters before events like the Super Bowl, the Redskins linebacker challenged the Pro Bowl defensive tackle on two fronts Wednesday as the Redskins prepared for Sunday's game against Sapp's Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

First, Arrington said he'll take issue if Sapp comes on Washington's side of the field during pregame stretching, as Sapp has been known to do. Such pregame altercations have led the NFL to order officials to take the field 45 minutes before kickoff.

"I'm expecting for Warren Sapp to cause me to grab him -- because he's going to try to run through our lineup in pregame," Arrington said. "You never let a man run through your stretching line. If a team crosses your 50-yard line while you're stretching, there's a problem.

"You don't let somebody come to where your whole team is because that's a blatant show of disrespect, that's a blatant show of 'Why should I go around y'all?' "

Arrington was then asked what will happen if the Bucs use Sapp on offense. Sapp caught a touchdown pass against Atlanta two weeks ago.

"Sapp, I'm going to get you," Arrington said, looking straight into one of the cameras from a local TV station.

"If they put you out there, I'm going to get him. That's disrespectful in my opinion, too, to put defensive guys on offense that are lineman. I'm gunning. You come out there, you've got some killers on the other side of the ball -- just like you're a killer when you're on defense."


Sapp laughed after reading Arrington's comments.


"You tell Mr. Can't Get Right, I'll be there at 10:30 a.m. sharp, Eastern Standard Time. Tell him don't be looking for me because I'm easily found," Sapp said, making reference to the difficulty the Redskins had mastering the defense run by former coordinator Marvin Lewis last season.


"Spare me. Is LaVar jealous that he can't play offense?" Sapp added. "Is he jealous that he can't get right? Tell 'Can't Get Right' that his plate is full. It's a little bit too much to try to take on me."”

“kickoff in one hour WHOOOOOO!”

“Gotta love NFL Sundays (especially if you're not backpacking that weekend). :-P

Good luck to your Colts, 2scoops.”

“now that we're not playing each other, good luck for the bucs! hope to see ya in the superbowl!”

“If we can recover from injuries and avoid Cherynobl-like meltdowns, we might be alright. :-)”

“i just heard jimmy johnson was nominated for induction into the hall of fame. i dont know about that, he really wasnt in the nfl that damn long. but two superbowl wins in a very short time do count for something.”

“TOUCHDOWN!

mannings already had at least three big throws to harrison, clark and wayne.

he makes it looks so frickin easy”

“PUT WILLIAMS BACK IN! he was doing good. take mungro out.

vandy 14 in a row. 19 going back to last season”

“unconscious”

“and i dont get cleveland at all. theyre the BROWNS. ooohh thats fear inspiring. but the mascot for the BROWNS is a field of orange? buddha, nigal, ductape, OHIO CITY CAMPER for gods sake, can any of you explain this?”

“CRAP!”

“DAMMIT!”

“Redskins lead Buccaneers 10-7 at the half.”

“SUCK!”

“Hey, I mean, Ohio, huh?”

“AHEM........

i would like to officially retract anything nice i may have said about our ricky williams....

HOLD ON TO THE BALL, DUMMY!”

“Bucs back on top.”

“FUMBLE!

freakin cardiac colts”

“pants by 7. alot of time left.”

“Bucs win.”

“well that just sucks”

“the colts that is, not the bucs”

“i hate the cowboys. they pulled ahead on my eagles 23-21 right now... will go back and watch intently...”

“Good luck to your teams next weekend. For now, the road to the Superbowl runs throught Kansas City. And yes, Tom, that is highway 50, I-70, and I-35. Come see us sometime, everyone.”

“your time will come”

“The Steelers head into their bye week 2-4... #&%!$!!!!”

“%&#*@&!!!

That's the end of feeling sorry for the Cowboys.”

“Nothing more interesting than watching Scoop's reactions as it happens...the ups...the downs...the cheering and eventually the crying and tears.”

“"and i dont get cleveland at all. theyre the BROWNS. ooohh thats fear inspiring. but the mascot for the BROWNS is a field of orange? buddha, nigal, ductape, OHIO CITY CAMPER for gods sake, can any of you explain this?"

First let me say that I am NOT a Browns fan. NEVER EVER WILL I BE! But I do know their history. When they came to Cleveland they needed a name. They had a contest with the prize of $1,000 to the winning name. They were first the Cleveland Panthers but a simi pro team already had the name so they were named the Browns after Paul Brown. They were known as the Brown Bombers. They had nothing to do with dogs in the least. In fact their first mascot was a “Brownie” which is a woodland dwelling fairy, yes, a fairy!, that is a very shy trickster along the lines of a cross between a leprechaun and an elf. He was known as “Elfie”. Too strange and gay to be true? Here’s Elfie!:

You can even get official Browns merchandise with the little fairy on it at their web site:

In short, the Browns fans can call themselves the dogz, the Mutts, whatever; but for me, they will forever be the Cleveland Fairies!”

“TOP 10 SIGNS YOU'RE A BROWNS FAN

10. You carry mismatched luggage of paper and plastic

9. Consider Prozac to be a basic food group

8. Leave a trail of Milkbones to find your way home

7. Rent yourself out in the summer as a Cleveland Browns fan

6. Your car has a Browns bumper sticker but no bumper

2. Expect to see Heimlich Maneuver at end of every big game

1. You have tear ducts the size of hubcaps”

“colts are 5-1 and they played good in every single game, even the one they lost. carolina just played THEIR game, to perfection, even if we did knock stephen davis out of the game with probably a broken arm. carolina has my respect now. they are for real.”

“FOOTBALL SUCKS WORSE THEN HAIKU!



There, I got that outta my system :)”

“Back to the girlie threads with ya! 8P”

“is it just my imagination, or does free want everyone to know shes at mikes house?”

“Gee, ya think?”

“yea shes subtle”

“waaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitaminnit

what i first perceived as a friendly hope your team does well from scaretex, was really a wolf in "good luck"s clothing. scaretex NEEDED the colts to win because they were playing the division rivals of his beloved buck-an-ears, who maintain a TWO game lead. pretty sneaky, sis.”

“Jealousy of the Chiefs will get you nowhere. It's time to accept their dominance and live a happy life.”

“LOL @ 2scoops! That's true, in part. But my main intention was for them to win so you'd be happy.”

“Something tells me that Scoops has been in the bullshat game too long to be bullshated Sacretex. I know my bs meter was in the red when I read your last post! LOL!”

“Ooohhh, Scaretex is soooo nice!”

“bucs may end up being the best wild-card team ever. they got a big uphill battle. i cant wait til they play carolina again.”
