| You do have to be willing to put your head where most most players wouldn't put there feet, Bill so it's no wonder people call us crazy :P I've only ever played in nets, never even tried to play outfield in my life just because I love what I do :D |
 |
| yeah i think the goalies of any sport are usually the craziest for that reason exactly, and they're usually my favorite in general. i played a little goal when our starter got hurt one game. i didn't play bad, though they got like 4 goals by me, but that team was waaay better than us. i didn't want to play goal at all after that though. i'll just do my tackles and bruise people's shins :D |
 |
| wow.. entire KHL team wiped out in plane crash, this is officially the worst off season ever http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=587792 some ex-nhl'ers like salei and demitra were on that plane, what a tragedy |
| holy shit...what in the hell is going on in the hockey world?!! goddamm can the season start already so the madness (hopefully) ends? |
|
| I just read about the destiny of Lokomotiv Jaroslav. So sad, may they rest in peace and play lots of ice hockey in heaven. If someone wants to see some pics from the accident http://news.mail.ru/incident/6758061/gallery/1113729/ |
  |
| picture of skrastins daughter, so so tragic, i still can't believe it that plane was supposed to be banned for flight because it was unsafe, russia finally decides to ban the plane that has killed so many... a little too late, here's an article on it: http://deadspin.com/5838024/doomed-lokomotiv-yaroslavl-plane-was-banned-in-europe-due-to-safety-concerns  |
| is anyone asking why couldn't the club charter a safer plane in the first place? i understand that RUS should have banned it, but the club couldn't spend a little extra money on a better plane? too sad about everyone there, and that picture of skrastins daughter is heartbreaking =( |
|
| Russia is just a terrible place, the reason this happened is because they put all their effort in maximizing profits and skimping on safety They have been using the YAK planes for a few years, and there have been several accidents. It took a disaster of this magnitude for them to finally realize what is important |
| in russia for a discount on their tickets the passengers themselves conducts pre flight checks. |
| Yeah, unfortunately there have been many plane crashes in Russia recently, like bbmello said, their equipments and planes are mostly outdated. Now the president, Medvedev has said that they're going immediately update the equipments and consider more to safety of air traffic. Btw Medvedev seems to be very angry about because this accident. There's about 138 airline companies in Russia, just funny fact to know. I have been to several Russian aeroplanes, I can tell you that Rossiya is a very good airline, but oh my gosh Nordavia Regional Airlines is just horrible xD I live close to the airport and I always hear when that plane is landing! Tsurururururururur |

| i like how everyone is hyping up the Green Bay vs Saints game......who really cares! i doubt either of those teams will make it to the super bowl again this year anyway. Tho more than likely they will make it to the playoffs. |
| I care XD im a chicago bears fan and i super hate Packers! and im sure Greg lol thats on here is the same. Us Bears fans and Greenbay Fans are the longest Rival ever in Football History and its one thing us Chicago fans hate the most is to see Greenbay escape from going into Overtime and possible Loss haha. Just makes me half to pull even harder sunday for the Bears to beat Atlanta another awesome Playoff Team Contender from last year. :( |
 |
| lol I use to be a HC vikings fan, how do you think Mcnabb will fair this year? it seems like the vikings just purposely find the oldest quarterback they can find and throw his ass on the field. |
| Seriously yall dont have no WRs to throw to other then Decent morel Like the Bears are this year. I think your #1 WR this year is going to be and yet again i dont know why we got rid of him but Bernard Berrian. Chicago was stupid to get rid of him after our SB run and till this day i still think it is stupid why they let him go. But then again your going to be like the bears this year and lions RUN RUN RUN RUN. Peterson is your Key to winning this year. Greenbay is the only Team that has a QB good enough to throw the ball down the field and teams be scared of the passing game. There RBs are not that bad either as for Vikings main threat is Peterson but yall have the Awesome Williams up front to hold anything to me. I know i got off Topic well kinda but with Decent WRs you can look forward to a Decent season only if you can keep people off Mcnabb. Washington really never had a good OLine to keep them off him and give him the time to throw the ball i think. But washington just dug there grave by placing Rex Grossman as there Starting QB. Hes to chicken to get hit and the first time he gets hit pretty hard he will be throwing off his back foot again like he was in Chicago and throwing picks left and right. |
|
| oh my yall let go of the William boys :O man your toast they was a scary bunch to half to go through. Jarred Allen is still there tho :) big dude in the D. |
|
| yeah who knows what the hell will happen, tho my hopes are not high to begin with. tho i think the vikings should have won the super bowl instead of the saints. we had what 6 turnovers in that game and still almost won. peterson costed us the game hes a fumble maniac that game jesus. |
| I say yall wil win 6-9 games this year yall will be in a run for Wild Card sadly i say we will get around 8 wins and be running for a Wild Card but ill let you know more after Sunday lol what the Bears will do. If we play decent against the Falcons then i will say we will make a run to the playoffs if we get our ass handed to us then we are going to have a long season trying to catch a Wild Card spot. Greenbay is going to win our Division if we dont pick up wins where they win. You got Chargers first its about a Even game there and i really think you can win if you play good. There not the best and there not the worst team out there. |
|
| Oh the only thing I like to watch is Formula 1 races my fav drivers are Kamui Kobayashi and Lewis Hamilton :) other than that I can glue on the tv screen if there is a Figure Skating championship but I hardly turn the TV on so I haven't seen some FS in a long time |
| (ง`▽´)ง |
| I hardly watch TV unless its th weekend or a Thursday night/Monday night football game. Im mostly watching anime but those 3 days Thursday Sunday Monday are the days i watch football XD. I like to catch Hells Kitchen every now and then because its really funny to watch sometimes. |
|
| im watching adult swim right now for the first time in a long time. ANYWAY watched most of a college football game for the first time in years today as well lol. watched auburn get pooped on by clemson good game. |
| one of the greatest nights for baseball i have ever experienced, any one else lucky enough to take this all in? also, got an MRI on me knee scheduled for next week, hopefully i get good news :) |
bbmello said: one of the greatest nights for baseball i have ever experienced, any one else lucky enough to take this all in? also, got an MRI on me knee scheduled for next week, hopefully i get good news :) that sucks hopefully it isnt permanent. and what happened with baseball? |

| ITS RIGGED! |
| well i guess my comments on this thread got wiped out too. shit. well sorry about the bears to greg, although i like seeing the Lions FINALLY doing well. on another note, the caps have won their first two games, but haven't looked too good. their big aquisition Vokoun really struggled last night, tho he came up big in the shootout (which i HATE btw) btw lumi, did you watch the Helsinki Ducks game? |
|
| yeah lol it is nice to see the lions do good they have not been doing good since sanders retired way back when right? |
| they weren't that good even when he was around. he brought them from a horrible team to a somewhat respectable team. |
|
| Unfortunately I didn't watch the actual game bc NHL games are aired on paid channel, so I can just follow games via online newspapers :P But I know that Ducks lost. |
|
| after watching that game...part of me wants to but on 25 or 30 pounds and go to tryouts for the bears. i played oline most of my life (all ccfl in my semi pro league) and that was the worst job on fundamentals ive ever see in a pro game...shit would have got me beached in 8th grade. hell, doubt theyll spend any money on help in the off season anyway...just draft backup dlineman loins are alot better though, doing all the right things |

| @lumi you'd think they'd at least broadcast a game being played in their country, with the greatest Finnish player ever participating! seems like it would be kind of a big deal to me, but what do i know? =p @greg i think not only is it a fundamental problem on the bears line, but the scheme as well. i posted something like this before the rollback, but they keep noone in for protection for cutler and he doesn't have exactly a Dan Marino quick release to beat the rush either. probably the reason that only Kurt Warner has had success in a Mike Martz offense is of his quick release. and he seems unable to adapt to any other way. |
|
| yea, but i have seen them fail with max protection. its expected when they bring more that you can block (i heard martz doesnt have hot routes in case of blitz's...if so hes retarded). but they're losing the one on one battles. foot work is as ugly as i can remember seeing in a long time. bad first steps are killing them, even in the run game. i remember seeing them get beat on down blocking every time. thats from either coaching and not having enough talent to pull those guys out. i try not judge pro athletes but that shit was ridiculous. |
| <!--link--><a href="http://myanimelist.net/animelist/GregRocks&sclick=1"> "Gravity is just a myth. Jon Fitch is holding everything down. He's like the opposite of Atlas, he's got the world under his shoulder." |
| i dont know if technically martz has hot routes or not, haven't heard that discussed, but it sure looked like they were tons of them back in the Warner/Rams days. of course that could have just been Kurt. as far as the technique you're mentioning...i wonder if it's part psyche. i mean to get to the NFL these guys have to be elite. they certainly know how to do these things. i wonder if all this time of giving up sacks and hits if it hasn't crept into their head that "we can't do this" and it's affecting them that way. you always hear about "the culture of losing" and i think it may be the same way when it comes to this. you think you can't do it, so therefore you can't/won't/don't. idk, just a theory =D |
|
| I'm not a big sports fan, personally... I was on the soccer team in high school, but I didn't stay long lol was given the goalie position and then almost died needless to say, they replaced me >.< mostly, I'll watch whatever's on if it's on, but I don't go out of my way to see it lol |

| I've been into martial arts since i was a kid. my dad is a prominent karate instructor so i learned from him and his dojo when i was 7 for 2 years. then when i moved away from my dad and came to america, we couldn't find any good legit karate places around, so i settled for tae kwon do. Did that for the next 6 years. got my second degree black belt in my closet somewhere... haha eventually i stopped stopped going to practice when i picked up highschool wrestling with a few of my friends. i was in the 138 lb weight class. that was actually a lot of fun. due to my martial arts background though, i wasnt much of a shooter. i was more of a thrower, if you guys know what i mean. and now in college, though i don't wrestle anymore, i visit my school's jiujitsu club a lot. thats a pretty cool sport. reminds me a lot of wrestling since its everything to do with submissions and whatnot. also, i'm a football (soccer) fanatic. over european leagues though, namely spanish league. yea, Barcelona woot!!! hahaha |
| wow dont know of many schools with a jiujitsu club lol they should just tackle you and make you tap out upon entry |
| haha im sure they would, but one of my good friends is the student assistant instructor for the jiujitsu club here. so they tend to treat me relatively nicely hahaha. nice to have connections, no? =D |
| haha you hit it right on the head bill. theirs not that big of a difference in talent between the best teams and the worst teams. 90% is all mental, thats why you can see a team change coaches and do much better with almost the same personal. im confident that the chicago oline has heard what ppl are saying and with done, which never works. a sports physiologist i saw once said you play you best when your mind shuts down and you body just reacts on its own. you practice so much that the steps and such are trained into your body as second nature. @nv ive done some sub grappling myself. used to wrestle when i was younger and transitioned to no gi at a mma camp my friend was at. its pretty fun, ill try to join a club when i transfer to my new school |
| <!--link--><a href="http://myanimelist.net/animelist/GregRocks&sclick=1"> "Gravity is just a myth. Jon Fitch is holding everything down. He's like the opposite of Atlas, he's got the world under his shoulder." |
| @greg, yea grappling is cool too. one of my high school wrestling teammates went on to grappling in college and now he's won several northeast region championships. then again, he works his ass off for it lol. what i wanna get into next, hopefully start before i graduate college, is wing chun kung fu. you guys might know it better though as what bruce lee was taught throughout his life before he went on to become awesome lol. my dad knows people in the field and it seems like a pretty efficient fighting style. |
| yeah ive heard of it, a guy in the ufc came from it. whenever i find the time i was invited to train krav maga with a friend of mine. i only wrestled till my freshman year then got into judo and bjj. haha i was great at greco roman but yea...also had football "workouts" all year so i was mainly worried about keeping my weight up for that. rolled with a guy that beat Hermes franca in a bjj match. |

| i am predicting that tomorrow will be the Lion's first loss of the season because they are playing my Niners and we ARE going to kick some ASS!!!!! (yeah, i said "we" like i'm really part of the team, lol) :) |
 |
| i called it and it happened!!!! yeah NINERS!!!!!!!!!!! |
|
| yeah and nice scuffle at the end of the game with the coaches hahaha! that was great. i think schwartz seemed to overreact and he was probably upset about losing, but whatever, great win katey. my team on the other hand lost to the damn eagles. blech...mostly because of 4 interceptions. looks like we'll have a new qb in washington. on a sad note, Dan Wheldon, a great Indy Car driver was killed in a horrific crash today. i feel awful about it. i'm not really a huge race fan, but i remember him being such an affable guy and seemed so friendly. and every other driver seemed to love him. sad sad day http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2PMUNsuZWA EDIT:found a better vid |
|
| wow i just saw that 5 lap tribute and i was almost crying. i found a video of the crash here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOsZtDyr6Ls not a racing fan but it's always sad to lose someone like that |
|
| i'm not ashamed to say i was in tears watching it. if you're not moved by that in some way, you have a heart of stone |
|
| well i had tears in my eyes and i got choked up but i wasn't bawling. |
|
| i was choked up but that was because of marijuana not really sadness.... |
| @bill im still a grossman fan so i was hoping he could take the skins to the playoffs lol |
| <!--link--><a href="http://myanimelist.net/animelist/GregRocks&sclick=1"> "Gravity is just a myth. Jon Fitch is holding everything down. He's like the opposite of Atlas, he's got the world under his shoulder." |
| it seems like a lot of teams are having a hard time picking which quarterback they want to start.......kinda weird if you ask me. |
| well i admit that i couldn't figure out why in the hell the Niners kept playing Alex Smith!! the guys sucked so bad that it was very frustrating to watch my team lose almost every week. at least he's somewhat proving himself this year. i still have some doubts but so far so good |
