These guys can actually say it and mean it

Seeing the clock hit 1:20 PM, dreaming of summer afternoons at Wrigley.I actually stopped thinking about the 2009 Cubs the instant Milton Bradley threw that ball into the rightfield bleachers. While Peyton Manning played his typical solid, efficient game (30 of 44 for 246 yds), the Colts defense stepped up against the Ravens. The Vikings can contain Bush in both the run game and short passing game by having Antoine Winfield spy him.The Vikings are an above average tackling team, but the player that almost never misses a tackle is Antoine Winfield. Drink a double if Bulger is on the sidelines with Bill Belichick.Drink if someone asks announcer Phil Simms if he misses watching his old team, the Bengals play, that day.Toast at any Baltimore Colt mention.Drink every time Tom Brady whines, whimpers, moans, or groans for a flag.

Can you imagine what he could do if the line could block? How about a 2,000-yard rusher?What happened to the No. Failure to extend or keep the 9-point lead going into halftime is where the Cavs lost this game in my opinion. I hope this story was blown way out of proportion and they were actually shooting spitballs at each other through straws.Now we've all said, at one time or another, "I bet you a million dollars that..." These guys can actually say it and mean it. He averages 5.6 points and 3.3 rebounds over his career, but Ely also has attitude problems, meaning he could be more a problem than solution.Then again, the best solution could be to do nothing at all, from a salary standpoint.The Nuggets are already over the salary cap by more than $3 million already. Unfortunately, Leach "blew up" at the wrong kid, and it came back to bite him. Cade FairchildFairchild played solid defense all game, most notably breaking up a Sioux 2-on-1, while adding assists on the Gophers' first two goals of the game.While Fairchild has been a disappointment thus far on the offensive end (only one goal this year), he has played stout defense and continues to lead the defense with his cool head and tape-to-tape passing ability. 2. Carlos Quentin ? If he can stay healthy, he?ll move up this list.23.

Wow! Can?t wait to see how that ends...Now we?ll always wonder about what might have been. We lost the opportunity to see the all time winningest quarterback go against one of the greatest defenses ever put together by a great coach.We lost the opportunity to see a Heisman winner duel a Heisman runner-up.We lost the opportunity to see Colt improve his draft status.We lost the opportunity for him to stamp his name indelibly on the University of Texas.We lost a few pages in the chapter between two great programs Championship moments echo through the decades The victories improve with age and re-telling. I’ll close by saying this: if the Ravens limit their penalties to under 50 yards on Saturday, I think they’ll beat the Colts. If it’s over 50 yards, watch for the Ravens to keep it close, playing from behind most of the game, and then commit mental mistakes toward the end of the game that prevent them from winning.. Solid on the PK, he logs a lot of quality minutes and plays his role well.Grade: A- Patric Hornqvist (13G 9A 41 GP) Hornqvist has emerged as a force in front of the net for this team, especially on the power play. Miami rebounded from their terrible first half, but still shot a woeful 34 percent, including a 6-for-27 clip behind the arc. The Hokies now head off to Tallahassee to battle the No. Charles Tillman was forcing the ball out left and right, but he was getting burned by Jackson and had no safety help The secondary was being burned so badly Cutler had a decent game Not good but not bad.
