IlliniBob72 commented on Guess who's not getting a replay? Guess what the worst organization in sports is?

As much as I think they should replay the game, I guess it would be a huge precedent set to do it. I mean, MLB would never replay a game simply because a home run call was missed. No one in the USA ever considered replaying the Orioles/Yankees game when that Maiers kid reached over the wall and the Yanks were awarded a home run. I believe France should agree to a replay (which they refuse to do), but FIFA can't replay the game.As much as I think they should replay the game, I guess it would be a huge precedent set to do it.

Suzy Kolber is way creepy. Way way wayyyyy too enthusiastic about everything. I bet she'd wake the whole dang hotel.

IlliniBob72 commented on Pete Carroll is PO'd

I loved Harbaugh's answer when asked why he went for it; "I thought we could get it". That. Is. Awesome. Last year Carroll hung 125 points on the Washington schools while giving up zero. In '05 Carroll beat Arkansas 70-17, Hawaii 63-17, and UCLA 66-19. I love Jim Harbaugh.I loved Harbaugh's answer when asked why he went for it; "I thought we could get it". That. Is. Awesome.

IlliniBob72 commented on Kansas Football Coach Mark Mangino: BULLY!

What I found most amazing in reading about Mangino is that he was the running backs coach at Kansas State! What could Mangino possibly know about being a running back??? "OK, guys. First, find a hole in the line about eight feet wide. Otherwise, you'll never fit through"What I found most amazing in reading about Mangino is that he was the running backs coach at Kansas State!

IlliniBob72 commented on Irish FA Request Replay from FIFA

Come on now. It was an egregious missed call and one that led directly to a goal that clinched the berth for them. Let's not pretend it isn't a big deal.

IlliniBob72 commented on Irish FA Request Replay from FIFA

I know, WKC. What I meant was that if they replayed one game and choose not to replay the France/Ireland game, I can't imagine what happened in that other game that they allowed the replay. BTW, that other game was between Uzbekistan and Bahrain.

IlliniBob72 commented on Irish FA Request Replay from FIFA

I read that they had a match replayed after another such incident before. So, if that is the case and there is a precedent for it, I don't see how they could not replay this game. I mean, Jeebus, what had happened in the other game they replayed? Did a guy THROW the ball into the goal?I read that they had a match replayed after another such incident before.

IlliniBob72 commented on I suggest Thierry Henry not set foot in Ireland for awhile.

I hear what you are saying, but they do this while the play is still going on! Brandon Marshall wouldn't do his annoying "flag throwing motion" while the ball is still in the air. Well, at least I hope he wouldn't. Watching the video, everyone on the Irish side quit on the play before the pass even got to the goal scorer. I'm going to look again, but I wonder if they quit the play before the ball even left Henry's foot.I hear what you are saying, but they do this while the play is still going on!

IlliniBob72 commented on Brady Quinn's cheap shot will result in the first missed game of Terrell Suggs' career

I wish people would stop calling it a chop block. It wasn't a chop block, it was an illegal block below the waist. A chop block is when one guy takes out a guy below the waist while he is already engaged with an opponent up high.

IlliniBob72 commented on I suggest Thierry Henry not set foot in Ireland for awhile.

That was an awful non-call, but I've got a question. Why is it that in soccer, when a player thinks an opponent is offside or committed a handball or a foul, everyone stops playing and starts looking for the call??? I don't know if that led to the goal here, but I see it all the time, particularly on offside plays. Could you imagine everyone on the Packers defense stopping on a play because they saw a Vikings lineman commit a holding foul?That was an awful non-call, but I've got a question.

Chicago Blackhawks' Circus Trip

Well, the circus is coming to town, kicking the Blackhawks out of the United Center for a few weeks. Typically this trip kills the Blackhawks, but this season may be different.

Couldn't happen to a better guy, Josh McDaniels. IMO, he is one of the NFL's bigger douches, which is really saying something.

IlliniBob72 commented on Now, Fran Tarkenton is questioning whether or not Jay Cutler can play. Maybe whining his way out of Denver wasn't such a good idea.

Don't you see? You said it yourself. The Broncos offense is anemic...yet Cutler would have so many more weapons if he were still there...DING DING DING...The Broncos offense is anemic because of Kyle Orton! I had to laugh watching the pregame shows before the Steelers-Broncos game. The Broncos were 6-1 and yet I heard the phrase "The Broncos can make the playoffs if...". I had never heard of a 6-1 team talked about that way before! Everyone knows it...Kyle Orton will be a passenger on that team. They will win as long as he doesn't eff it up. As soon as you need him to step up and win a game for you, you will see what you saw last Sunday...three offensive points.Don't you see? You said it yourself.

I really wish they had incorporated the "dumb button" for Season 2 like I'd asked for.

Peyton Manning would have slapped Devin Hester in public by now if he were on the Bears. The problem for Cutler right now is that he has figured out that he has one weapon right now, Greg Olson. Now he is trying to get it to him in the red zone no matter how covered he is. We've all seen what Cutler can do with some people to throw to. Unfortunately, he's got one guy right now and he's a tight end.Peyton Manning would have slapped Devin Hester in public by now if he were on the Bears.

IlliniBob72 commented on Cutler Fined $20K For Verbally Abusing an Official

Come on now. If you want to get on him for the interceptions or forcing throws, fine, but his demeanor after bad plays??? Isn't that a bit much? In fact, last night after a pick (on which Hester decided to lie down as the ball was coming to him) I saw Cutler get knocked flat on a blindside block, get right up and finish the ball carrier off on the sideline. There was no quit in him after that bad play. To be honest, I don't notice any change in him after good plays or bad. Of course, last night his demeanor after bad plays was simply his demeanor for the game! LOLCome on now.
