This has to be the silliest thing I have read on the entire internet in quite some time. In 2000, he started 8 games and threw passes in 9 games. He threw 12 TDs and 11 INTs. He averaged 136.5 yards passing per game, with a QB rating of 76.6. This was on a team where he wasn't asked to...

I think some here are giving Hightower a bum rap. He didn't grab Butler's arm, nor did he come close to knocking the ball out. Here's a different angle of the play. It zooms in a bit at the end and you can see what happens.

Butler gets "Play of the Game" award, but Brady gets the MVP.

Good point.

Lynch was blanketed on the play and didn't get "open" until after the interception had already been made.

Yep yep, exactly. Brady really won't get the credit for a number of reasons in my opinion. First, there wasn't a "defining" play so to speak. Second is that while he brought the Pats back and overcame a 10 point deficit, the final TD wasn't scored as time was about to expire.

Actually, you can when those drives are at the end of the game. If you think of "The Drive" with Elway, no one remembers how he played during the rest of the game. Funny thing is that most don't even remember that it wasn't a game winning drive, but rather, just tied the game and took it to...

Actually, in a court room, prior bad acts are inadmissible during a trial as they can/will unduly prejudice a jury. That you did something previously doesn't mean that you are guilty of doing it this time. If you are convicted, THEN prior bad acts can be introduced during the sentencing phase.

I was able to make it all the way to "Rex had no business being fired" before laughing hysterically and wondering about your judgment.

One huge difference is that people are buying a physical/tangible product that has costs associated with it as opposed to making cash donations. If I donate $100 to a charity and 96% of that gets eaten up by administrative costs, I'd be pissed. But if I'm buying a jersey from a retailer, I'd...

Fair enough.

And if I wanted to take the time, I could list hundreds of examples of guys who got drafted by one team, were released, got picked up by another team, were released again, and were never heard from thereafer. It happens every year in the NFL. These are guys at the margins. Teams bring...

Ras was also a 2nd round pick, not a 7th rounder. His biggest problem has been injuries. If he can stay healthy, perhaps he might amount to something. It's understandable that he would get more looks than Sam.

Could be. I just remember there was a big laugh about it over on one of the Jets boards when the quotes came out as nearly everyone there was in agreement that Hunter sucked. Just to go back and clarify, my point was only that people should take what Googe says with a healthy dose of salt...

That's quite possible, though Wilson has a high release point and the ball appears to travel down just a bit. His footwork and overall mechanics on this pass weren't that great. Not sure if that is due to trying to compensate for lack of height, or if it's just shoddy mechanics.
