1st off before anyone asks i'm from Michigan and i'm not a michigan fan. Brady Hoke said that Notre Dame is chickening out of the series with michigan. Then you have Louis Niz the DT from Notre Dame act like a clown on twitter i guess insinuating Hoke's weight. Then Notre Dame's AD made his comments today. i guess the networks have nothing else to talk about.
Brady Hoke said what he said at a booster club gathering to try to get the michigan people fired up. You go to 1,000 of these lunches have to kiss everyone's a$$ that he decided to spice it up.
When you look at Notre Dame going forward in 2014 they have to play 5 ACC teams a year. Notre Dame AD Jack Swarbrick said the 3 games that Notre Dame will play every year even they joined a league would be against USC,Stanford and Navy. USC and Stanford so they have 1 game a year in california. And Navy because they're rivals {also notre Dame wont say it but usually they beat Navy that's why Navy stays on the schedule} Though Navy since 07 has given ND fits
In 2014 they have a game vs Rice and 2015 vs Umass. Most say why won't they cancel UMASS and play michigan in 2015? Because Notre Dame needs wins on the schedule. Notre Dame is no different than any other school trying to book some wins.
Also they have future games with BYU that will have to be played. My point is Notre Dame doesn't need Michigan and Michigan doesn't need Notre Dame. Guess what guys No matter who Notre Dame plays they'll draw the same 80,000 fans at home and Michigan will draw the same 105,000. College football will be fine and so will Michigan and ND
what say you?
Period end of story. Glad Rodgers will be in Gb through 2019 same goes with Matthews and his extension. But i believe the Packers failed this offseason. Why can't/won't the packers go out there and make the flashy move? Its obvious that Ted Thompson doesn't care about winning another super bowl as his moves the last year or 2 have shown. Keep going to the Dollar store to get washed up players like Saturday etc
Why not just 1 time the Packers "fire the shot heard round the NFL"? Why? please explain. In the last few years they didn't get guys i wanted like Brandon,Marshall,Mario Williams,Dunta Robinson,Nnamdi asomugha and now Revis. I know you'll say packers most of those guys didn't do well where they went and you'd be right but can the Packers make an effort just once?
Thats the one thing that's always ticked me off about Green Bay . They just don't make the effort. We are doing with Rodgers what the Patriots have done with Tom Brady which is screw around with our qb's prime years. The Packers aren't winning Super Bowl 48 this year. You think they're better than San Francisco? Or Seattle or Atlanta? they aren't beating those teams. I'm tired of being the Tampa Bay rays of the NFL. I'm tired of being a moneyball team
Just my 2 cents guys most won't agree and thats fine
There's a story that came out earlier today that security needed to be called because Rangers fans were heckling Hamilton's wife and kids. Now i'm not condoning that at all. I think its wrong i think its rude. But what did they expect to happen? Did they expect to get a warm response and hugs and kisses
I thought Rangers fans from what i saw on the tv broadcast handled Hamilton's 1st AB well. Booing him, the newspapers the cheers on the strikeout. I got a little Ranger in my pants when i saw thatHamilton didn't need to say in the offseason that Dallas isn't a baseball town. You might say packers he's right and he may be but why do you need to say it? Why not just let it be?
Hamilton's wife ran her mouth at the press conference when he signed with the angels talking about if the rangers were committed you got to put a ring on it. WTF? Look she should've sat up there and look pretty like most wives. And i'll give her credit she puts up with that douchebag everyday. But this isn't the 1st time she's said stupid things. Last year in SI she talked about how god would tell them whre Josh should play. I made the comment on covers "I have a feeling if he gets a 10 year contract from a team he'll be "led" to go there". Another covers user said this " I guess god doesn't love the Pirates because he never sends his talented people there in free agency"
I've said stupid things on this site. Those in the college football forum remember my saying Missouri would beat Alabama by 2 td's pick. God that pick sucked Anyways i got mocked when i said it i lost the play and i still catch some barbs because of it. If i didn't want to catch heat for picking Mizzou to win by 2td's then i didn't need to say it. same goes with Hamilton and his wife. You didn't need to say it. And when you do say it and you're wrong/moronic you will catch heat for it. Watch what you say guys
P.S Mrs.Hamilton i'm not a sexist but stay in the background
That's my 2 cents. What's yours?
Unless you live under a rock you've seen the video that ESPN had of Rice acting like a maniac. I don't want hear the b.s. this happens everywhere not acceptable. I don't want to hear Bob Knight did this too. It wasn't cute then and its not cute now. Mike Rice should've been fired for being a bad coach.
Now a move to the big 10 in 2014 and by the time they hit the big 10 the A.D. needs to be fired. If you can watch that tape in december and not fire him you're an idiot period end of story. Maybe Rice had something on him i don't know.
You know what? it really doesn't matter Rutgers fans because all you will be in the big 10 in terms of hoops is a better Penn State. I don't care who you hire. Rutgers better give the a.d. his walking papers as well. Absolute disgrace that program is
I'd like to hear Rutgers fans thoughts on this disgrace of a situation. Thanks Rutgers you made us all in big 10 country look bad. Hey i know penn state is looking at an easy win in 2014
Thats my 2 cents what's yours
5. Rockies 66 wins
They cut Walt Weiss's nuts off giving him a 1yr deal plus you have the front office having an office next door to weiss. This won't work. Players won't trust weiss. plus front offices need to stay upstairs where they belong. Colorado you've been in MLB 20 years get some bleeping pitching. This team is an absolute joke of a franchise i have more hope in the astros and cubs then the rockies. Well get ready for more 14-12 games with the rockies if you like softball watch them i got better things to do with my time
4. Padres 74 wins
I have dish network and a few days ago they added Fox Sports San diego still no deal with time warner get a deal done guys! Headley got hurt but i wonder about his future if the Padres will give him an extension. I think Gyorko needs to play every day in the big leagues. Bud Black is a great manger but he always has scraps to work with. 1st full year of the o malley ownership group and the Padres appear to be stuck in neutral the worst place to be in sports
3. Diamondbacks 81 wins
I don't think Kevin Towers did a good job this offseason. Signing Cody Ross and then asking for the moon from Upton was a joke. Once he signed Ross he lost his leverage. Towers will regret the day he traded Justin Upton. Who is the Real Ian Kennedy and which 1 will show up this year? Gold schmidt just got a long term deal good value in my opinion
Heath Bell you trade for him then you sign JJ Putz back? I'm so tired of hearing "The Diamondback way" and "the Kirk Gibson way" Both ways suck and don't work. I'll give Kevin Towers this though he built a 500 team and for his reward i will give the D-Backs a 500 record.
2. Dodgers 88 wins
before or after june 1st will mattingly be fired? I liked this team heading into LY until magic Johnson got involved with the team. Hey Magic resign from ESPN and focus on baseball ok? Less pick and roll more hit and runLets play word association Hanley ramirez =pill Carl crawford =diva Zach Greinke =nutcase. Josh Beckett = fat overpaid entitled slob.
But no worries they have Adrian Gonzalez the sultan of singles. I call Gonzalez the manchurian candidate. He hits 300 every year 30 HR 100 RBI but adds nothing to your team I think kershaw is this year's Lincecum Beckett will destroy kershaw the way he destroyed Lester don't be shocked if Kershaw starts having backfat injuries,copping attitude and underperforms.
Matt kemp is the key for the Dodgers when he's right he's a gamechanger but i'm not sure he's a leader. if you're wondering if there is anything i like about the Dodgers its Vin Scully. Otherwise i'm not high on the Dodgers this yr like i was LY
1. Giants 90 wins
If i would've told you LY Barry Zito would pitch better than Lincecum you would've laughed me off this site. Boy does Lincecum look dumb not taking the 5 yr deal huh? Matt Cain is a sick pitcher. Its not fair how good he is. People rip Prince Fielder about his weight but he plays everyday unlike Sandoval. He's fat pig sandoval every freaking year he misses 1/3 of the season.
With Posey getting the extension i move him to 1B. I don't believe in big money deals for catchers. I move him to 1B. Bochy 1 of the best in the game always mixing and matching getting the most out of his team. Some how some way the Giants win the west
Final thoughts
San Diego launched fox sports san diego LY. the Dodgers tv deal is worth 7.5 billion thats why they paid 2.1 billion for the team. AZ's and Colorado's deals i believe are coming up as well. I see this being a SF/LA divison as Colorado is a complete joke and AZ and SD appear to be stuck in neutral. Give me the Giants this year
Well guys all finished with my division predictions. Your thoughts?
