Highs and lows this weekend are discussed on Round The Bend today…
- Coverage of the NFL
- Coverage of College Football
- Coverage of the ALCS and World Series predictions
- Coverage of anything and everything else
JackGonzo: Good Morning, and welcome to Terry's Neighborhood
Dews: ahh, what a weekend it was....
9:40 AM JackGonzo: We're starting with topic number one, since we know Dews is itching to get it off, The NFL
Dews: honestly, the highlight for me was the Rams drubbing of the boys
that made my week
JackGonzo: Since I was working all weekend and when I say I haven't seen a single highlight, I mean a single highlight
9:41 AM Is there a hotter team in the NFL other then the Rams right now?
Dews: I took today off, so I've seen Sportscenter about 4 times in a row now
I don't think so
SayHey: The highlight was Fox Sports switching to the Niner game, citing the Cowboy game was "non-competitive"
Dews: Rams have certainly turned a corner with Haslett
SayHey: They got good again
Dews: haha, yes, that was beautful
9:42 AM JackGonzo: They keep this going, Haslett coach of the year?
SayHey: Dispite the Niners losing (well, O'Sullivan-Fumbullo losing the game) it was greaty
Dews: if they end up with a winning record, then yes
SayHey: Nah, Jeff Fisher
Dews: unless Zorn wins 10-11
:)
MrSanDiego: was there football yesterday?
Dews: I still don't believe in Titans
perhaps delusional
SayHey: THey are undefeated
Dews: I know
SayHey: Hence, at this moment, coach of the year
9:43 AM MrSanDiego: I vaguely remember listening to some guys from new york calling a game on the radio using cell phones
Dews: yea talk about bizarre game there
JackGonzo: How bout Dem RADIAS
SayHey: No, that was Brett Farve calling the Lions, giving them the Packer playbook
Players of that Raidia game- Both FSU kids
W00000
9:44 AM Dews: as good with the ball as with the knife then
JackGonzo: watching the Raiders highlight now
9:45 AM Dews: the Skins Browns game was probably one of the worst games I've seen in a long time until the 4th quarter
neither team wanted to win
JackGonzo: that's what appeared like in the stats
SayHey: Raiders wanted that win, Farve seemed to not give a crap
JackGonzo: bout the only player playing anything was Portis
SayHey: Oh, Skins game
Hah
Dews: yea, sure seemed that way
I was falling asleep watching my own team
9:46 AM and I wasn't even hungover
SayHey: Fat-ass McGee (aka the punter) fucked up a simple FG snap
JackGonzo: and news that Winslow's latest stint in the hospital for yet ANOTHER staph infection is not acceptable
SayHey: I think we talked more about the punter than the actual game
Dews: yea, he was a popular topic
in that he looked like the kicker from "The Replacements"
JackGonzo: that's about the 20th staph infection at the home office since we've come back
9:47 AM Dews: yea whats up with that?
JackGonzo: Browns won't talk about it, but something is obviously fucked up
and it is unacceptable
Dews: apparently he feels like a piece of meat too
seems kinda messy right now
whatever it is
JackGonzo: We never had Bentley because he got 2 there, Joe J got one, Winslow, this is his second or third
SayHey: I agree.........This cant be good
9:48 AM I think Winslow had 2 last year alone
Had something to do with the Browns medical facility or something
Dews: more staph infections in Cleveland now then during the civil war
JackGonzo: yup
to quote a wise man, this shit's fucked up
Dews: yup
9:49 AM JackGonzo: now, I notice SanDiego is being silent this morning
Dews: I was waffling between a dirty needle joke and the civil war one
SayHey: Yeh, SD was silent yesterday also
Dews: I'm happy with my choice
JackGonzo: wasn't I the only one to call the Bills?
SayHey: Dirty Needle jokes are saved for Cowboy fan
Dews: yea, I'm still shocked on that one
SayHey: I called the Bills
And got shit for it yesterday
MrSanDiego: What time does the game start?
Dews: didn't expect Bills to do that well
9:50 AM MrSanDiego: wait it already heappened?
happened
SayHey: Trent Edwards- 25-30
Excellent stat line
MrSanDiego: Isn't it Sunday?
Dews: haha, sure feels like it
MrSanDiego: If I believe it then it must be true
9:51 AM SayHey: After my painful weekend, I wish it were still Sunday
Free beer = Ouch Town
Dews: oh lord...
yes
MrSanDiego: I am still shell shocked by this football season
Dews: that was nearly my demise too
yea, totally unexpected things so far
JackGonzo: I correct myself, SayHey called the Bills as well
MrSanDiego: sorry but I will be living in dellusional football world for the rest of the season
SayHey: Thank God for brunch or else i would have slept through the entire football day
MrSanDiego: so yeah, great Chargers win there guys
JackGonzo: Thank God I have the number one team in the nation
9:52 AM Dews: oh, UT?
JackGonzo: Fuckin A the man has a major credit card
Mr.SanDiego was the only one to take the Ravens
9:53 AM Dews: I wanted to take the Rams (as did MoDews), but we felt like our rationale was clouded by hatred
JackGonzo: nice blocked field goal sayhey
a smart play by quincy morgan as well
9:54 AM MrSanDiego: I went 8 for 13 so far
JackGonzo: Broncos 6-22 all time on MNF
MrSanDiego: not my best week
Dews: Who we all got for tonight's game?
9:55 AM MrSanDiego: two teams I don't care for
Pats
got to
Dews: yea, agreed SD
JackGonzo: Let it be known though, that PhillyFan and I were the ones to call The Rams winning
Dews: good call, I think I did give them the spread though at least
9:57 AM JackGonzo: should have been in vegass
between the Rams and Bills, I could of made some money
Dews: yea, this is true
JackGonzo: Topic Two, college football
9:58 AM I knew it was going to be a good weekend when I got off of work, turned on the radio and saw that it was already 28-0 Texas in the second
Dews: How about that powerhouse Wake Forest in ACC???
oh wait...
MrSanDiego: Penn St - Texas for the BCS
9:59 AM what I find funny is Joe Pa is in a contract year
10:00 AM Dews: yea, will be interesting to see how they force him out after this
JackGonzo: it is interesting, less he told his team he's done and they're playing their collective ASS off
MrSanDiego: that 80 year old is pulling a 20 something pro move
rumor is that he is pushing for his son to take over
but anyways
Michigan just rolled over
10:01 AM JackGonzo: also big props to the team who got shutout by the Blue Devils for beating the Tar Heels
I'd also like to thank the Wildcats for punking the Golden Bears
10:02 AM this one is for Dews, The Coach almost punking Les Miles
JackGonzo: This question is for MrSD
MrSanDiego: Bear down Arizona
10:04 AM JackGonzo: Is it time for the Pac 10 to drop Washington St and Stanford and add Boise and Fresno?
MrSanDiego: never happen
SayHey: I knew this would be brought up again
MrSanDiego: Stanford is an anchor for the Pac 10
and think Basketball
that is big money
JackGonzo: you mean dead weight?
MrSanDiego: the Pac 10 is the ACC of the west coast
10:05 AM PhillyFan: Wow I forgot this started. Hello
SayHey: stanford basketball is also a big moneymaker
MrSanDiego: exactly Say Hey
Dews: Crack?
MrSanDiego: and Wash St is decent too
Yeah
the Pac 10 may never change
they are too set in stone
JackGonzo: then do like the big ten, and make the change in the basketball group alone
but change the football
10:06 AM MrSanDiego: there has been talk for years
no
they aren't likely to split the sports
SayHey: I dont see that ever working
JackGonzo: Fresno now has the addition of having a baseball and softball national title
MrSanDiego: It is a collusion of the worst kind
they market the Pac 10 as a premium college football conference
the WAC is like Walmart
10:07 AM JackGonzo: eh, then become the pac 12, but that's besides the point
MrSanDiego: didn't happen in the last 20
years
never will
JackGonzo: Topic Three, Fresno State Bulldog Matt Garza, ALCS MVP and the Tampa Bay Rays
Dews: was his coming out party
MrSanDiego: I shouldn't have waived Garza earlier this year in FBB
10:08 AM he looked dominant
but I go back to my last statement about the Rays
isn't is something that they have so little faith in their Mid Relief that they left him in there through seven with just a 1 run lead
10:09 AM SayHey: Twins must feel stupid for trading him
MrSanDiego: this was Game 7 of the ALCS
Dews: think its still early on that trade though Sayhey
MrSanDiego: was shocked he pitched into the 8th
Dews: Young is still a phenominal talent
JackGonzo: True, but this has paid dividends NOW
SayHey: LOL always
Dews: this is true
SayHey: Exactly, thank you
JackGonzo: Any time something helps you get to the world series is worth whatever price you pay
10:10 AM MrSanDiego: And now they have the homefield advantage for the series
SayHey: And how about Rocco Baldeli?
JackGonzo: specially in the what have you done for me lately MLB
SayHey: Wow, came out of nowhere
MrSanDiego: does Tropicana help them?
JackGonzo: well, winning the WS will help them get that new ballpark
PhillyFan: So what are the phils chances according to you guys?
SayHey: I think Tropicana is a push
Dews: Baldelli is a great story, I've been pulling for him
JackGonzo: which looks AMAZING if they get it
SayHey: Philly is a disadvantage
10:11 AM JackGonzo: Rays in 6
Dews: I got Rays in 5
SayHey: Rays in 6
MrSanDiego: I think Philly has better homefield advantage
SayHey: Yeh
JackGonzo: Hamels will win two games, but that's the only Phils wins
MrSanDiego: but this series starts in Tampa
PhillyFan: Philly was a much better road team throughout the year
Myers is good
MrSanDiego: Tmapa wins more at home
Dews: but they played national league teams on the road mostly
:)
PhillyFan: well philly wins more on the road
:)
JackGonzo: Myers is good, but Hamels is the only starter who could start on the Red Sox
10:12 AM SayHey: Myers will DH
PhillyFan: ha
Dews: hah, he should
PhillyFan: Yea we will see
I obviously pick philly :)
JackGonzo: Ah, you know who had a touchdown in the Rams game? Houston's own, Donnie Avery
SayHey: Avery has been hot
10:13 AM MrSanDiego: Rays in six, I agree
JackGonzo: lol I keep hearing Johnson almost picked off
10:14 AM Topic 4, everything else. Let's hear everyone's opinion on W.
SayHey: W. was pretty good
Dews: Doh.. still haven't seen it
SayHey: nothing what i expected
JackGonzo: Did folks hear that the Dems may start leaking Dews''s story?
MrSanDiego: I think it was well done
SayHey: Facebook has already leaked Dews story
Dews: well, its abut time
10:15 AM JackGonzo: This could be HUGE, waited just for the right time
SayHey: I didnt know that Tommy Franks was such a complete moron
JackGonzo: right when it will be on the forefront of folk's minds
pretty much
remember shinsheski was calling for a surge before we even invaded
SayHey: The acting was amazing
10:16 AM Colin Powell- Hero of the movie
MrSanDiego: I like seeing the movie
then getting a does of common sense for General Powell on sunday
JackGonzo: Speaking of, responses to Powell endorsing Obama, and the right's reaction
MrSanDiego: dose
10:17 AM SayHey: I dont know if it will help him
It certainly wont hurt
Dews: only thing that worries m now is whether this will effect voter turnout if people assume Obama has it in the bag...
MrSanDiego: It is interesting to hear Republicans coming out of the woodwork in agreement with Powell about the GOP
I think the evangelical right has frightened many moderate repubs into silence
and Powell was the first to speak out
10:18 AM JackGonzo: Yes, but some of those who hold the banner who basically say Powell is for Obama for teh black...
MrSanDiego: not so much that
SayHey: And that SNL skit couldnt have hurt the Palin campaign
errr helped
Well, there will always be those out there who think people endorse on race, rather than issues
MrSanDiego: most Regan, Bush I Repubs know Powell well
Dews: was kinda funny, but she certainly doesn't look presidential
MrSanDiego: and respect him
10:19 AM SayHey: She looks like an idiot
PhillyFan: I didnt see it!
MrSanDiego: she is a non issue now
she did her damage
SayHey: Alec Baldwin rant was priceless
MrSanDiego: The GOP knows it f'ed up months ago
SayHey: Yep
MrSanDiego: now they have to wait four years to try again
10:20 AM JackGonzo: lol
SayHey: We'll see
McCant could still win this one
10:21 AM Dews: this is true, its not over til the final recount
SayHey: Like Dews said, peeps could feel so overconfident, that they wont feel the need to vote
MrSanDiego: the popluar vote may seem close
Dews: it wouldn't be the first time
MrSanDiego: but the electoral college projections are quite lopsided
Dews: Polls are not reliable
especially given how most of them are based off Land-line calling
MrSanDiego: turnout will be high
10:22 AM Dews: do any of you have a land-line?
JackGonzo: 538 does a great job of taking all the polls and averaging them out
MrSanDiego: because of the record new voter registration
JackGonzo: yes
MrSanDiego: if you go through the slight hassle to register for the first time
Dews: I've had one land-line in the last 7 years
MrSanDiego: of course you are going to vote
and if you are a member of the Dallas Cowboys
Dews: and that was back in VT
MrSanDiego: you may vote 3-4 times
10:23 AM SayHey: If your a member of the Cowboys, you lost your right to vote long ago
Dews: yea, I think felons lose that in Texas
SayHey: Yeh
And in most states
JackGonzo: Texas isn't close to being swayed
TRUST me
and I live in the liberal part of the state
SayHey: Oh, and if you live in Florida and your black, you lose the right to vote
10:24 AM Dews: and if yer old and white in Florida, you are gonna vote for Buchanan again
SayHey: LOL
MrSanDiego: Nader
SayHey: They wil vote for the early bird special at Dennys
JackGonzo: Dole 08!
MrSanDiego: crap
SayHey: Jack Kemp
MrSanDiego: I would vote for Dennys
10:25 AM SayHey: Oh hell yeh
Dews: yea really
maybe Hilton can get that on her ticket
JackGonzo: Viva Viagra 08!
Dews: we said Dole already
MrSanDiego: the big question now though
SayHey: Viagra/Dennys 2008
MrSanDiego: is can the Dems dominate in the Congress too
SayHey: Dole/Palmero
MrSanDiego: because if they can really roll
10:26 AM then they can pass all the legislation they want
60 seats can prevent a fillabuster
SayHey: Yep, and its doable
Go Al Frankin!!
MrSanDiego: imagine
unfettered power to make changes
appointments
10:27 AM Judicial appointments
SayHey: Indictments??
MrSanDiego: oh yeah
SayHey: Throw Dick and W in prison, where they belong
JackGonzo: this would be a beautiful thing
MrSanDiego: I can't wait to hear who Bush pardons
JackGonzo: (sorry been watching the SNL Palin bit)
MrSanDiego: watch him pardon Cheney
Dews: I wouldn't get too excited, neither party is any good at actually taking advantage of this power
SayHey: Has Rummy officially been pardoned? I think he can still goto jail
MrSanDiego: pre-emptively
10:28 AM JackGonzo: talked to the misses about that, not sure if it would work
SayHey: And Albero Gonzo
MrSanDiego: Unfortunately
W
will never go to jail
Dews: the partisans on both sides are experts at playin the underdog role
JackGonzo: they also would never travel outside the country
MrSanDiego: even Nixon got a full pardon from Ford
SayHey: That was negotiated before Nixon resigned
JackGonzo: yes, but Nixon admitted wrongdoing
they still don't see that they did anything wrong
MrSanDiego: no sitting President would ever indict a predicessor
10:29 AM it would set a precident that they would not want
SayHey: No, one president would........
Jessie "The Body" Ventura
MrSanDiego: they cover for each other regardless of party
SayHey: 2012 baby!
MrSanDiego: he is going to leave the country
that is what he said
SayHey: He also said if he gets pissed off enough, he will run in 2012
MrSanDiego: anyways
SayHey: Last I checked, he has a short fuse
MrSanDiego: he is not stable
10:30 AM so I would vote against him
SayHey: Well, McCant proved that stability is moot
JackGonzo: lol
SayHey: Ventura/Kinky
Excellent ticket
MrSanDiego: He makes McCain look good
JackGonzo: well for those who are paying attention at least
That's the ticket I'm voting for in 12
10:31 AM SayHey: As myself
MrSanDiego: Bobby Rindel will run in 2012
my guess
JackGonzo: if he's not too busy with the exorcisms
it is 2012
MrSanDiego: haha
10:32 AM true
JackGonzo: well we're rambling now
lets wrap this up
MrSanDiego: Maybe Palin and her witchraft is what we need for the Mayan New Year
SayHey: Would be fitting
JackGonzo: I just wish I got fantasy points for Haynesworth crippling Croyle
10:33 AM SayHey: I dont think one gets points for injuries
Or else i would have taken Lawrence Tayler earlier in our All-Time draft
JackGonzo: lol
10:34 AM fair enough, thank you for joining us as Dews cries himself to sleep now reliving my favorite monday night moment
SayHey: LOL
