What the he** is that thing? Is that their old mascot or somethin'?

[CanisMajor2002]

The Bucs are thugs.....:-)

A-men. The next bet should be, "Who is going to deliver Warren Sapp's come-uppance?"

I would have bought Warren Sapp's part-of-the-game argument if that nasty block hadn't occurred 20-30 yards away from the action. Thug.

It's been cold since the snow so all of it is still around. Towards the city (Boston), there is less snow because they were mostly rain. Even less in New York.

I actually like the snow and cold. I'm used to it and shoveled myself out the other day in my shirtsleeves. It's the hot and muggy weather that I have the most trouble with!

Did you see them come out in the pre-game warm ups on Monday Night and act like thugs......then got whupped on the field.

Who are you kidding?!?!?! As long as the Redskins have Snyder (Jerry Jones JR)as the owner we don't stand a chance. Look at things, Green's last game is tomorrow, Stephen Davis becomes a free agent next season and it's doubtful he will be back. Champ Bailey can't win games for the entire team and we do not have a quarterback. We are still hurting from the salary cap and money wasted bringing in Deion Sanders (enough to make this Redskins fan burn ever jersey I own).

I had high hopes for Spurrier but his passing game strategy does not work in the NFL when we don't have a quarterback who can handle it. Spurrier has not utilized out strong point and has allocated the running game to the back burner.

As I sit in my computer room, filled with Redskins paraphernalia I remember when we had a Dynasty. When we didn't lose to the Cowgirls 11 times in a row, when making the playoffs was a given. I miss those days and hope they come back.

[Brytani]

Here here!! Snyder should just shutup, pay the bills and let people who have a clue playing football run the team.

[CounterCounterCulture]

Sure that's not H. Ross Perot in his NFL-playing days? ;-)

[winodog]

What really ticked me off was his attitude after. I saw him on "the man show" I forget what he was asked (something about did he feel bad about the hit) but his response was I will have to see how he (they guy he hit) acts about it.
If he comes back and he has a attitude then there will be a problem but if he understands that it is part of the game then I will be cool with it.
Jackass of the year award for sapp.

Eagles could be footballs next Dynasty...

[Brytani]

Thank you for reminding me, today is Saturday football. I almost missed this game.

[Brytani]

Good, we need more thugs in the NFL. Remember the old Raiders? When teams were actually scared to play them? I miss those days.

[winodog]

He really is a hell of a player. Did you see the catch he just made in the first quarter? No heading for the sidelines for him. He was staying inbounds and running people over.
I also like what he said on howard stern show even though the league? made him apoligize and say he didnt mean it when he said he would not play with a faggot on his team.

[CounterCounterCulture]

Missed a Raider game last year because I didn't realize it was on a Saturday. Determined not to repeat my mistake this weekend. And I almost always miss those stupid Thursday games that they sneak in once in a while (not counting Thanksgiving).

[Brytani]

The way the Eagles have been playing this year. How they did not give up when their quarterback went down with a broken leg and the heart their coach/team has - I don't doubt this.

[brewcrew]

No question about where my lifelong loyalties lie:

[Brytani]

I missed Saturday football last weekend thanks to last minute Christmas shopping. I did keep up with the scores by running into sports stores that had the game on. Can't believe I almost forgot games were on today.

As a side not, I still can not get used to Thursday football.

[CounterCounterCulture]

I like your Raiders today, but can they win by 8 or more?

Oh, sure, they CAN win easily by 8 or more. But WILL they? As Chris Bermann would say..."that's why they play the game." Sad to say, my Raiders tend not to play well in the last game of the regular season (cough*Jets01*cough). We'll see.

[Brytani]

Raider have the same disease as Miami does - fear of getting into the playoffs.

[NeoCaveman]

The spreadsheet I do, It's about 65%. It says Raiders win, fail to cover the 8.
