Oh no question jerry,your sixers are right there as a matter of fact,i'm putting em in the east finals against boston right now,forget them flintstones up north or them beachbums down south-it's a two team race in the east now-celtics-sixers....i wish i had a team-sigh!!!
Rumblings of late have Howard looking to sign with Golden State. He's a better fit with the Quiz but now that Javale McGee has signed with the LABrons, there's a roster spot available for him with the Warriors.
Well, now it looks like Howard is Wizzing in Washington. If he gets his attitude in check, he will be much better than Gortat. Starting Wall, Beal, Porter, Morris and Howard is a good lineup. You may have gotten your wish granted, Bruh.
Ahh man,i was hoping that[bill russell]would've come outta retirement!!
Well the one thing howard can do is dunk,and he'll get plenty chances with wall feeding him,of course he still can't make free throws or play defense,and the gizzards are still going out in the first round...i ain't convinced!!!
He had 16.6 points and 12.5 rebounds per game last season. If his name was Harry Backman, he'd be the hottest free agent on the market. His attitude is the only thing standing in his way from adding to a hall of fame resume. God forbid he should be in situation where he has a chance to win. With that lineup, they will have the three best players on the court most nights in my opinion.
Don't get too geeked up,this is still the gizzards we're talking about and if it's a way to muck it up they will,you could put labron on this team and they still would find a way to mess it up,dwight howard-haaaaa..might as well be dwight eisenhower who as a general at lease knew defense...one an done!!
Most likely. I still don't understand why y'all drafted another wing. Or why you didn't put in a bid for Boogie instead of Howard.
Because with labron in the west,they actually think that they can win the east-haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..and i'll bet you lunch at grady's that one mr.bradley beal will be running his mouth before the season[he can't help himself-a basketball in his hands and a foot in his mouth]these clowns actually think that howard will put em over the top,boogie won't be well until about january but having him on the roster would've been scary for next season,but then we are talking about-da gizzards-america's dummies!!
Two years and $11 million. Looks like they're invested in him. This has to be why they got rid of Gortat.
One and done!!!
Hey sports gang,how bout some of the great team nicknames down through the years...the[27]yankees-murderers row...the[80's]lakers-showtime...the[72]redskins-the over the hill gang...the[70's]dolphins-no name defense...the[60's]cowboys-doomsday...the[70's] steelers-steel curtain...the[90's]rams-greatest show on turf...the[60's]rams-fearsome foursome...whatcha got?
Dolphins also had the Killer Bs. Falcons had the Gritz Blitz and still go by the Dirty Birds. Of course, Seattle just dismantled the Legion of Boom, which was a great name. Don't forget the Bears' were the Monsters of the Midway in the '60s and '70s. In Mineesota, Alan Page, Carl Eller, Jim Marshall and Gary Larson were the Purple People Eaters.
In college football, the Ohio State Buckeyes defense is known as the Silver Bullets.
Switching to hoops, don't forget the Warriors were dubbed Run TMC when Tim Hardaway, Mitch Ritchmond and Chris Mullins were dropping buckets by the ton in the '90s. The University of Houston had Phi Slamma Jamma in the '80s. The '70s iteration of the Louisville Cardinals was the Doctors of Dunk [[with Darrell Griffith being Doctor Dunkenstein).
And as for fans, don't forget Green Bay's Cheeseheads. Back in the '80s, Franco Harris was backed by Franco's Italian Army.
GOOD STUFF JERRY,THE BEARS OF THE80'S]DA BEARS...THE OILERS OF THE[70'S]LUV YA BLUE...THE OAKLAND A's OF THE[70'S]THE BATTLIN A's.
Don't forget the Bronx Bombers and Amazin' Mets.
The skins had-the fun bunch in the[80's] and things aren't gonna be the same for the raiders without-the black hole.
The Skins also had the Smurfs and Hogs. Surprised you didn't mention them yet.
Gettin old jerry,gettin old.
Just hope that I don't pass you up, Bruh.
What was the most deflating defeat for a team you liked[not your home team]?for me it was the angels in[82]all they needed was one out to get to the world series and couldn't get it,i remember the great[reggie jackson]standing on the top step of the dugout in total disbelief,just took all the air out of the room..oh and i've never rooted for the l.a.angels again.
I'm a Mets fan, so you know that the first thing that comes to mind is the Red Sox losing game 6 when Bill Buckner had the ball scoot between his legs. The Mets steamrolled them the next game to win their last series back in the '80s. But don't ask me about stinging defeats when I've had the worst of the worst to my own teams. To wit:
#5: The 2008 Mets, led by manager Willie Randolph, held a 3.5-game lead in the NL East, and with only 17 games to go, New York looked like a sure thing. However, the Metropolitans won just seven of the remaining contests to blow the division lead.What's worse is the Mets had also choked the previous year, becoming the first team ever to blow a 3.5-game lead in consecutive Septembers, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
#4: The Monday Night Miracle was an NFL Monday night game between the New York Jets and Miami Dolphins played at Giants Stadium on October 23, 2000. The Jets scored 30 points in the fourth quarter, twice tying the score, and sending the game into overtime, where they defeated the Dolphins, 40–37.
#3: The 1980 Atlanta Falcons season was the Falcons 15th season. It was the first season division title in franchise history. After a 3-3 start the Falcons went on a nine-game winning streak as Quarterback Steve Bartkowski has a career season passing for 3,544 yards while connecting on 31 Touchdown passes, as the Falcons won their first ever division Championship. The Falcons, would earn home field throughout the playoffs. Playing before 60,022 fans at Fulton County Stadium the Falcons lead the Dallas Cowboys 24-10 in the 4th Quarter. However, the Cowboys would score 20 points to stun the Falcons 30-27.
#2: In 2016, Villanova defeated UNC on a game-winning three-point shot at the buzzer by Kris Jenkins to win the NCAA Championship by a final score of 77–74, winning their second NCAA championship. UNC had recovered from a 10-point deficit in the final five minutes to tie the game on an off-balance, double-clutch three-point shot that passed through the net with 4.7 seconds left, leaving the Wildcats one last chance to clinch a victory before overtime. Kris Jenkins inbounded the ball to four-year team captain Ryan Arcidiacono, who dribbled down court, passed the ball and set a bubble screen to assist Jenkins' game-winning shot.
#1: Super Bowl LI. 'Nuff said.
Sigh... I don't even know why I follow sports anymore.
Because it's in our blood,i live and died[mostly died,hehe]with the old washington senators who actually had some decent players-chuck hinton-eddie brinkman-mike epstein-don lock-paul casanova-frank howard-ken mcmullen..notice i didn't mention any pitchers...because they had none!!!
Jerry,the worse personal loss for me was the great[1979]game-redskins-cowboys with rodger stubach-joe thiesman going at it for the division title and playoff spot-loser goes home,skins up at one point[34-17]but those damn dallas cowboys had a legend at qb-final score..cowboys 35-redskins 34 and i almost put a chair through my tv[no joke]my wife thought that i had lost my mind..one of the great games in nfl history and the most emotional one for me.
Good thing we haven't heard from ms_m in nearly six months. Them gobdammed Cowboys have made a lot of enemies over the years. :mad:
I hope that the[fine one]is reading this and getting ready to grace us with her presence for the upcoming season.
Hey sports fans,what are your alltime favorite uniforms? Today or yesterday..for me-baseball[yankees]-football[giants]-basketball[lakers]now going back a bit i liked the old[redskins]uniforms from the sixties[lance on the helmet]-chicago cubs-washington bullets.
Of course my favorite basketball uniform is the University of North Carolina. Carolina Blue with that argyle pattern is the best in basketball. Kentucky tried to cop something similar with their checkerboard but really they look like they're ripping off Tennessee's brand. In football, I have always like Penn State's plain blue and white unis. I especially appreciate them in this age when most college teams have funky alternate uniforms and also change their base unis every other year. That works for Oregon but nobody else. I liked Notre Dame before they went to the shiny helmets.
I used to like the Yankees' uniforms back in the day. I hate the Yankees now, so I hate their unis [[even though I like them). Every team in the NBA and NHL has changed its uniforms in the past five or six years, so it's hard to like any of them. But I used to like the Packers' uniforms. They remind me of when I first started watching football and Vince Lombardi was the biggest name in pro sports. My favorite Falcons uniforms were circa 1978-80, when they had gray pants, red jerseys and red helmets. Still love that one. Curiously, although I'm a Dolphins fan, I only like them in their white jerseys and white pants. Their aqua jerseys are boring but their white uniforms are hyped.
Hey jerry,looks like khawi is off to toronto,but i don't think he's gonna stay more than a year.
We'll see. Everybody thought that Paul George was going to be a Laker until LeBron signed first and he decided he'd rather play with Russ. I don't think players are as willing to play with LeBron as the press tries to pretend. The only time he "recruited" good players to be with him was when he joined two of his best friends in Miami. It's hard for others to shine when he has the ball on every possession.
Yep,but playing with him gives you a chance at the big shiny trophy.
Only if he is healthy. Last year, he was apparently hurt but not injured for most of the year. Is he still hurt? Or is he going to be butt-hurt because of the trade? Hopefully, he gives them 100% to reward them for their faith in him [[and to earn his $19 million).
Hey jerry,are you excited yet? Yep i'm talkin bout training camp which is the start of the upcoming season,there's always hope in camp-heck even them[dumbskins]got hope,hehe your dirtyburds are expected to be there in the end,and they might but i like that there are a few teams in the nfc that will fight it out..gonna be good.
I picked a horrible time to stop watching the NFL. I'm a Dirty Bird for life, but I'll follow the action through the box scores this year instead of watching even them. I'm almost as big a Dolphins fan as Falcons fan but after last week's BS about the anthem, I'm probably no longer going to like them. Thanks, Trump!
With that said, I have a really really good feeling about Atlanta's chances this season. Things seemed to line up for us this off-season, especially when we drafted Calvin Ridley.
Don't let[dump]ruin the season jerry..[you're too strong for that]we real sports fans are stronger than that turkey!!
Oh, I'm good. I'm not as angry at Trump as I am at the people who put him in office and those who are supposed to keep his actions in check but are permitting him to run amok. They own this. And the NFL owners just put a nail in the coffin between my conscience and their business. I stopped wearing my NFL gear last year and I'm one affront away from giving it all away to Goodwill.
By the way, what's with all of the Bryce Harper hate I'm reading? I thought he was supposed to be baseball's version of Captain America but people seem to think he's a jerk. Since my Mets went from a record hot start to being a few weeks out of mathematical elimination, I'm not even watching baseball right now.
Bryce is a good player who should be great,his ego gets him in hot water at times,but when he's right he's very dangerous.
Oh. So he's that guy that fans love when he's on their team but hate when he plays for somebody else. Not unlike Kevin Durant since he went to Golden State.
Yep,he just hit his[25th]a minute ago.
There are reports that his average has dropped because your manager has him swinging for the fences, not average. I'm betting there's analytics driving it believing that more extra bases and home runs justify the drop in on base percentage. All sport is becoming a numbers game.
