I haven't posted these in a while so I thought I'd get back in the habit.
"Look at the Clippers, even when they had a great run last year they were not the toast of the town nor did they bring in loads of fans."
Umm. This is entirely false and must be coming from an East Coast guy. At Sports Chalet which typically had a bunch of Laker gear, now started to have Clipper stuff. Clipper Nation shirts were popping up out of everywhere. They were taking the town by storm. Clipper fever was in the air.
"Barry Zito is vital to the future of the Angels."
Okay, Joshkross, I finally got it on here. I am not saying that Zito would’t be helpful. Paying him over 100 million for seven years makes him definitely not vital.
"Peyton Manning is finally poised to win the big one."
What makes you think that? Against Kansas City he threw just one touchdown while completing three to the other team. Against Baltimore he failed to throw a touchdown, but still managed to throw two interceptions. He hasn’t played all that well. I guess maybe he is playing at home. I am not saying that he can’t win, I am saying nothing leads me to believe that this is his year.
This week's winner is...
"Favre needs to retire. Should have retired about 5 years ago. He is a shell of what he use to be."
Have you watched any Packer games this year? Of course he isn’t as good as he once was, but he hasn’t lost too much of his ability. What he has lost is great players. He use to have a great offensive line, but now the Packers have three rookies starting. He doesn’t have as much time to throw. In addition his running backs are on the downside of their careers (Ahman Green) or too young to make a big difference (Vernand Morency).Not all of his interceptions are his fault. Sometimes he’ll throw it and it’ll bounce off a guy’s hands and the other team grabs. Sometimes the defensive back will out-jump the receiver to pick it off. Its not like the number two quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, would be any better right now.
The Beast respects the general public and the ArmchairGM community. Therefore he will not present the names of the people who have made these statements.
