[deroc5050]

I have it on in the back ground, I haven't watched for more than 1 minute at a time. I'm helping there ratings though... Time to catch up on the Walking Dead.

Michaels talking about how great the baseball game was last night, lol. ****dell seething probably.

 

[NG Pats Fan]

mike evans is great. dude has a superstar talent. wish we had a guy like that

Imagine Evans if he had Brady? My god

 

[Deus Irae]

Bruins win 4-3 in a shootout.
Hayes scored in the 10th round of the shootout, for the win.

That Evans catch was better than OBJ's catch.

(I was never that impressed with the OBJ catch)

 

[NG Pats Fan]

Did anyone just see that catch by Mike Evans? My god I bet he wishes he had Brady

 

[Wheelman]

They should have punted the ball after that hold.

 

[Delicate Genius]

Another Thursday night barn burner.

Evans's good but i would still take OBJ the player over him.

These Falcons may drop 50 on us boys.....

I'm not watching the game but caught the highlight of that sick one handed Evans catch. Did the defender spear him or was that a legal hit?

 

[rochrist]

Hot as TB has been, I have to say that at this point in the season, Matt Ryan has to be the favorite in the MVP race.

 

[PatriotsPimp136]

Well the bucs will have plenty of cap space next season. Maybe they can actually waste it on good players. Maybe on the defensive side.

I'm a Tampa resident and am forced to digest Bucs media. While I don't necessarily disagree on personnel I suspect the Bucs biggest problem is structural. I believe (??) they have had 2 years of Moris, 2 years Schiano, 2 years of Smith, and the two year shot clock is probably running on the new guy.
Asking a coach to turn around entrenched losing in 2 seasons is, IMHO, unrealistic. So maybe this new guy is the one? Maybe? But I'd guess no and say the Bucs problem is bigger than who is on the D line. ((IMHO they should have stood completely by and given Schiano a clean 3 years to turn around the program. Instead management started pulling the rug out from under him midway through the second season because sports writers and some players [one specific] thought he was a mean guy))

yeah matt ryan is the mvp so far. only because brady missed 4 games. i honestly think ryan should win it. i don't want brady to win the mvp and don't win the SB. ring #5 should be our only focus. who cares about the meaningless stat award. we all know brady is the GOAT

Why were you not impressed by the OBJ catch? Reaching behind your head while falling backwards and catching/securing a ball with 2 fingers while staying inbounds is a little too routine huh?

I've talked about this in 2014. Gronk's catch over the middle was far more impressive. I understand how to catch a ball like that. Any gifted receiver would be able to do it. OBJ just moved his arm and body in the same direction as the trajectory of the ball to decrease the velocity the ball would hit his hand at. I mean he does it all the time in pre-game warmups. Nobody was going try to lay him out like Gronk over the middle or like the Mike Evans catch tonight.

Lets wait 'n see who has the better record...

So what's the deal with the sexual assault against Winston in Florida State. Did the University cover it up?

Nah, read the story sounds like he was innocent. His friend is a dirt bag though for watching them have sex. But, the evidence is pretty clear it was consensual.

Glad I skipped for basketball. Jaylen Brown looked good in his first start against a guy who might retire on the NBA's Mount Rushmore.
