Not as many as Randy Moss did, that's for sure.
Being from Maine you can imagine how happy I was that I didn't have to make the trek to Hartford to watch the Pats! A lot of Jet fans I've talked to aren't thrilled with their proposed new stadium as well.
Didn't see that game so I can't comment on Moss but if he played worse than Clark he must have been pretty bad.
"My anger is directed at the media which created this image of Manning and the Colts as this unstoppable machine that would easily take care of the Patriots."
You can say that again! They were disgustingly canonizing him to sainthood despite the fact he has never won against the Patriots or the big game.
Now they're stumbling all over themselves picking the World Champs this weekend. Scat you lousy vermin!!! The Squeekers don't need additional motivation.
I'm listening to ESPN radio and some Steeler fans are trying to play the lack of respect card. One idiot claimed that Dillon won't matter.
They're lucky that the Squeekers are still playing. Three more inches on that first kick and it would have been lights out!
The team that took them to the brink of elimination was destroyed by the Pats just three weeks ago.
I don't blame them, in fact, I almost feel sorry for the hard-core tailgaters. A stadium in Manhattan with no "lot" parking, only parking garages???? People like to badmouth us tailgaters, but to us it's all part of the ambience. Getting up to the lot early, have a drink, throw some breakfast stuff on the grill, have a drink, throw some appetizers on the grill, have a drink, throw the main course on the grill, drink, eat, drink,...
Sure we enjoy ourselves before the game, but we never drink during the game (whoever is driving quits well before then) and the beer is considerably cheaper (and better) in the cooler. But tailgating is mostly about the comraderie, standing around the firepit, b.s.'ing (inevitably about politics at some point 8^) ) and ejoying the day off after a long work week.
I can't imagine having that aspect of the day taken away. I'm sure there will be private "pre-game" functions and bars will have something for the Jets fans, but it will all be offsite and will require a shuttle or water taxi to get to the stadium. Guys like the Troop 16-H tailgaters will be left hanging. As much as I despise their team, I do feel bad for them.
It's all tied into New York trying to get the 2012 Olympics. I hope for the Jets fans that this deal doesn't happen.
Go Pats!
Yeah, what a concept! A private business putting up its own money for expansion, rather than using government bailouts. Someone ought to call the airline industry!
The Colts need to get themselves a Tedy Bruschi if they ever want to get to a Super Bowl.
So was the 'old man' Willie McGinist!
Gotta love those Pats!!!!!
The Colts need to get themselves a Tedy Bruschi if they ever want to get to a Super Bowl.They also need a reciever who can take a few hits without getting ShortArm-itis
Did you catch SportsCenter tonight? Sean Salisbury has seen the light.
Did you catch SportsCenter tonight? Sean Salisbury has seen the light.Why does that worry me?
I don't care what the media says about the Pats and more importantly they don't care either.
Next season, stick with the two time season MVP, and SB MVP who has you at 5-2, rather than the rookie who leads you to 1-8 record. I think that some day Eli will be every bit as good as Peyton, but for now face it: he sucks.
