dated 9/3/13 that states the rule correctly. There is an editor's note:
"Editor's note: The rule proposal was amended before it was passed to ban pushing of any "Team B" teammate...
I believe (but am not certain) that the rule applies when you push a man before he has made contact with an opposing player. Once players are in the pile, you can't accelerate your own player with a push. At least, I think that's the intent of the rule.
As such, it sounds like it was...
Yeah, the quote was definitely taken somewhat out of context. The interviewers said "When we talk to you next week, are you guys gonna be 2 and 0?". Wilk paused and replied "Yeah, we're gonna be 2 and 0." What else do you expect the guy to say? Have fun with it all you want, but if you...
Scott is a barely controlled rabid dog who is the player you either LOVE when he's on your team or HATE when he's on any other team. I get that.
But at some level, pro sports should be about entertainment, not life-or-death for the fans. And after a decade of more of watching the league...
I thought he had a pretty good game against the Jets in one of the two contests but I may be misremembering. I thought he did a passable job filling in for Welker that day.
They forgot the part where the Jets trade up for Cleveland's #1 pick for their own 1st and 5th rounders and a bacon-double-cheesburger.
Eric Mangini...the gift that keeps on giving...
This year's Pro Bowl seems about as popular as the Buffalo Bill's Head Coaching job. By next week we'll be watching Alex Smith vs. Brady Quinn.
No thanks.
That should be post of the week. I'm a Jets fan and this made me laugh out loud becuase it's exactly how I hope I'd respond if the situations were reversed.
Re: Brett Favre makes Pro Bowl?? Blech.....
No argument from me. I think if Brady had the exact same stats as Cassel he'd be in over Favre. But that's the Pro Bowl for you.
Nobody in Jets-ville disagrees about Favre. A few weeks ago, after the Titans game, he looked about as worthy as anyone but Manning, but he's been pretty bad since then. Chalk it up to what we call the John Lynch factor. Lacking anyone with overwhelming stats, the fans vote for the names they...
Agreed with all except point 4. At the 2-minute warning in the first half, the Jets went to a 3-man rush and never really went back. Can't for the life of me figure out why, but they weren't attacking Cassel after that. Now the OLine still did their job because Jenkins is a 2-man rush by...
Guys...first of all, Cassel did have a great game today, but come on...Brady is a lock HOF QB. While Cassel is having a nice run remember it is behind the samel OL Brady had and throwing to Moss and Welker who are no slouches.
Before you annoint him the next great thing, consider that he...
One could argue it's just as unacceptable when you have a third and 15 and give up the tying TD with 1 second left on the clock. Both teams laid a defensive egg at the end. Remarkably sloppy lapses both times.
