Thanks, George, that's what I kind of figured from the wording of the rule, but wasn't sure. It was strange though, I thought, that there was no penalty on the...
You are correct, there was no penalty flag, and apparently the officials missed that one. Even the talking heads were complaining about the officials missing...
I watched the replays right after the hit and I think you're right -- the hit that Rhodes put on Boldin from behind changed Boldin's trajectory and didn't give...
Very nice sentiments, Jane. I think there's a very easy way to measure intent, and you kind of hit on it with what you said. When a defender does a fragrant...
<Jane> Great story, Scott. You're a regular Paul Harvey! <Scott> Thanks, Jane. At least you didn't compare me to Lonesome Rhodes from A FACE IN THE CROWD. The...
Randy Moss on Matt Cassel, the offense, and his role as a captain. No immaturity here. Kool-aid runs through his veins. http://tinyurl.com/43gjzt fdb...
It appears your analysis of the hit on Boldin was right. Larry. At least according to Mike Sando at ESPN, who wrote: "Jets safetyKerry Rhodeshit Boldin from...
Hi, all - Having just slogged my way through one of the worst-written and, more distinctly, worst edited books I've ever read ("The Education of a Coach" by...
There is risk involved with every play. I never want to see any team quit just because there is risk involved. I don't even like the kneel downs that are...
Rachel, thanks for the warning! I really can't stand dragging through badly written and poorly edited tomes. Sorry I can't recommend an alternative. Kevin M...
I haven't read this particular book, but that surprises me about David Halberstam--I've read a few by him and he's usually a pretty good and scholarly writer....
I enjoyed THE EDUCATION OF A COACH. I thought it provided some good insights. I noticed some mistakes, but they didn't ruin the book. I wish there was an ...
***** I definitely saw improvement in Cassel today. Yes, he still has a lot of work to do on pocket presence, and the ability to find his secondary receivers....
Good analysis, George. I concur. A shaky start, but all's well that ends well. ... From: George <patswingr@...> Subject: [patriotzip] Improvement To:...
I agree too, shaky but I'll take it...at least we got some help from the Cardinals who beat the Jills. I don't like the Chargers, but I wish they would have...
I'm in concurrence with our man from the Far East, as usual. Some similar and a few other observations gleaned in a pub full of Pats fans gathered in Austin,...
I watched the fish play, Susan. And the score was no fluke. This is a much improved team. Terrific defensive effort. And Pennington seems to be just what they...
The Good - Cassel played relatively well. His TD to Moss was beautiful and he made some other very nice plays. He hit Gaffney on 2 key 3rd down conversions,...
***** They're always good, Dave; but this was one of your best. (The fact that it agreed with most of what I said has no influence on that evaluation, of...
I posted this a year and a half ago, and Randy astutely pointed out that I had somehow forgotten Vinatieri. Vrabel and Wilfork were also mentioned as...
Faulk will likely contend for the Pats HOF - though there will be much contest at the time he retires and waits the requisite five years. Still he's...
"Dave Levine" ... Um...because....SF doesn't....read this list? Erdoboy Did u hear the announcers act as if that was the first time we ever ran that play and...
Mike Reiss is reporting that TB had his ACL reconstruction surgery on Monday. A source indicated that all went well, and he should be looking at 6-8 months of...
Good to hear that it went well Frank...thanks for reporting. It's too bad that it had to happen, but it sounds as though he'll be back to normal for next...
I could add to your ugly.? I was at the game in SF, that was not ugly.? And seeing Steve Young was not ugly but the stadium was archaic and their jumbo tron...
Ugly fans! At least we don't have any of those! ... ugly.? And seeing Steve Young was not ugly but the stadium was archaic and their jumbo tron was only about...
Maybe, I should clarify.? The fans that were being obnoxious were intimidating to me.? It was not in good fun.? I know we have creeps at our stadium too but to...
... I am going to give you the benefit of the doubt on this one and assume you are joking. Because I have seen some real dogs at Gillette. One of them sits in...
