  1. Pretty crappy imo, but I read the book, so maybe thats why I thought it was so bad. The acting was horrid, but the one chick wasn't bad looking tbh
  2. He was ineligible to play, therefore he has 0 yards and 0 attempts
  3. Not only will Cincinnati beat New England in week 1, but they will beat the Carolina Panthers, and will win more than 5 games. What a joke this thread has become
  4. I was pondering a post on a forum the other day when I saw people discussing the current situation of the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback competition for the first 4 games. Something that struck my eye was how some were disappointed that Leftwhich was injured and Dennis Dixon was getting the nod, some even pleading for Charlie Batch to start. Last season, Dixon had a good outing against rival and defensively strong Baltimore in a Steelers loss. He wasn't the most accurate QB, but he was decent, and had the team in a position to win the game. It was also his first career start. However, this leads me on a whole new path: the 2007 Heisman Trophy Race. How quickly fans forget what happened. In 2007, the USC Trojans started the season as pre-season #1. After an early season loss to Stanford, this opened up the national championship picture and the Pac 10 title picture. USC faced Oregon a few weeks later, #5 at the time, led by quarterback Dennis Dixon. A win by Oregon not only made Dixon the frontrunner for the Heisman trophy, but put them in position to make the national championship game despite having 1 loss already(eventual champion LSU had 2). A win against #6 Arizona State made Dennis Dixon a lock to win the award. However, the next week, Dixon suffered a season ending ACL injury. This not only ended his chance at winning the award, but led to sophomore QB Tim Tebow winning the award. Now another question comes up: Would Tebow have ever won a Heisman award if Dixon had never been injured? Sure he had a stellar 2008 campaign, but Sam Bradford could be seen as having a better season. But then you can argue that Tebow was more effective in 2008, and I would agree. I personally believe he would have won it in 2008 if he had not won it in 2007, as well as I believe the reason for Bradford winning in 2008 was because voters were hesitant to have a repeat winner. Either way, Tebow might not be a college football legend without the unfortunate downfall of Dennis Dixon. Something else that speaks to this same train of thought is Mack Brown's recent comments about the 2005 Heisman Trophy. Brown stated that if Bush's Heisman is to be taken away, then it should be given to Vince Young. As said best by Lee Corso, not so fast my friend! There is one glaring issue with this: If Reggie Bush is stripped of the title, then the prospect of giving it to someone else is too much. After USC's flat out destruction of rival #11 UCLA, USC was seen as by far the best team in the country, and possibly the greatest offensive team of all time. If Reggie Bush was ineligible at the time, most of his votes(and let's remember, he DOMINATED the voting for the award), would be going to his teammate and the 2004 Heisman Trophy winner, Matt Leinart. Leinart won the award in 2004 and had better stats in 2005. However, then the problem comes down to voters - would they have been hesitant to give someone a repeat of the award? If someone else was to be given the award if it is indeed stripped from Bush, you can't have a re-vote either. The problem with this is that after the Rose Bowl, no one would vote for Leinart or Bush, and the Heisman is a regular season award(much live MVP awards in pro sports). It is just much easier for Bush to keep his award or to have it stripped and not given to anyone for the 2005 season. That's all I have to say about that. What are your thoughts on the subject?
  5. Last season: Gave up 26 to Duke 28 to Georgia Tech 20 to UNC 15 to Nebraska(weren't a very good offensive team last year to say the least) They don't give up a lot to some teams, but then again, they don't have the world's toughest schedule(not even close)
  6. I thought the same thing. Still funny nonetheless
  7. I just noticed Yao and Dwight. Holy cow
  8. Divac looks horrid on that 2k5 boxart
  9. Some of these guys you listed are more giving a second chance than showing favoritism. If he truly loved his former players, he wouldn't have gotten rid of Lendale
  10. I mean NBA games are always poor in general, but this just looks pathetic
  11. Looking to make moves. Prodigy won't do what I want, so the ball is in your court hbains
  12. ESPN NFL - Schefter: Cards will release QB Matt Leinart (lost camp battle for starting job to Derek Anderson)
  13. Now we have overtime Utah coach is a moran
  14. Utah iced a made kick then iced a miss?!?!?! WOW, a third kick!
  15. I lol'd because it is true. I went to Disney way too much when I was a kid, and let me tell you, when you ride the boat back to the parking lot, it smells like [expletive]. And it is a distinct european smell D:
