It seems like in sports in general, that any team or individual on a great win streak, the expectation is when are they gonna finally lose..... and often it seems like it usually happens against a weaker opponent?

Its easier to grind it out against what appears to be a more formidable opponent, and to maybe have a let down against a weaker one.

I dont follow soccer much, but from the highlights I saw on this game, it looked like it was clear mistakes made by Spain, compared to great plays by the US that caused the two goals scored. I did not see much about chances on the other end, if Spain got unlucky any times there, but most times this game should have been at least nil nil?

What? No pissed of Spanish fans I can mess with here?

USA beats Spain in soccer....

awesome: Its okay, I am over it... I just thought it would be fun for people to make a few guesses for awhile, but in todays internet, nobody does any guesses anymore anyway

awesome: Thanks for the link... I knew somebody would just have to look it up and ruin the fun of guessing

I could have just come on and told the answer myself, if that was how it was meant to go

Anywho... from what I heard on the radio, Man U was worth 1.8 billion USD and the Yankees 1.5 billion.... but anyways, the correct one is in fact Man U!

what is the most valuable sports team in the world right now? (in terms of how much it would cost to buy them)

awesome: They will be 16, yes, but too old, and they wont be seen in the international scene again

srnity: No wonder you never knew how good the Pats are, not watching the afc, shame on you, now you get to see the Pats spank your J. E. T. S. , jets jets jets, and Farve 2 times every year!!!

Come on all you pats haters.... put your money where your mouth/heart is?

I have a free membership for anyone who cares to take the bet?

srnity: Give it up, hating on the Patriots!

rednaz23: Club seating is general some of the best available as far a comfort and amenities, but it really varies on the view location, but my guess is that you would not be complaining one bit!

rednaz23: I have to agree with you... I have been saying that green bay is over rated all year, and the games you highlighted are very good examples, there are so many games that they won, where I ended up shaking my head wondering how it happened!

Walter Montego: Maybe their broadcast contracts with direct TV etc prohibit over the free airwaves broadcasts?

One other note, this NFL channel isnt just about showing Thursday night games... they replay highlighted games and do analysis etc, 24 hours per day, I watch it very often throughout the week

rednaz23: I have thought that the Packers have been over rated and won some games while playing poorly, and I would be surprised to see them in this game near the end, although they have looked much better the past two weeks to me, and i think they have bought into their record, so just maybe they have a chance?

Puckish: Sorry wally, no "ter" see?

Whats the big beef anyway? Just because you went on and on about not getting the game etc... now you dont want to admit that you already get this channel???

Im just curious if it is the same nation wide or not?

Anyway, have fun at your buddies house.....

Walter Montego: Hey Wally, whats the verdict with direct TV and the NFL channel anyway? Do you get it out there or not?

awesome: hahah not my day...

wasn't there some Colby guy who fumbled in some kickoff return or whatever today?

Jim Dandy: Looked like a good call to bench him after his early fumble....

Jim Dandy: tha Packers arent eveyones second choice

awesome: Thats why you wanted to trade with Jim.... again my bad.

Well at least you dont have to travel an hour away to find a sports bar with the NFL package

awesome: well, believe me, it was not that long ago that the Pats sucked and your niners were the elite team in the NFL, but I never once wished i was a niners fan or complained that I had to watch their games

awesome: sorry, my bad

Walter Montego: Agreed.... and channel 212???

awesome: Yes, I am aware of the wild card, thank you very much

It was meant to be somewhat of a joking post, hence the , I was just making fun of the way the game was being hyped, like nobody knows that both teams really suck, and people are going to tune into the game because there are "playoff implications", just laughing at the way the TV people will say anything they can think up just to make a game they are covering seem more important than it really is

Walter Montego: Take your time getting back to us on this one....

they are billing (no pun intended) the Bills Jags games as one with "playoff implications"

Yeah, if the Bills lose again, then the Patriots win the division again, thats their playoff implication!

Jim Dandy: Yes, NFL TV that is the channel everyone gets, i think, and that is the channel used to broadcast the Thursday night games, IE the Cowboys vs Packers this week

Walter Montego: Yeah, all of the games that are on the NFL channel are on that one, you will like it for other reasons as well, because they do replays of some of the better games, and they do them in an hour (i think), not to mention the 24 hour NFL coverage!

Walter Montego: Try channel 212, thats what it is here anyways, and its not part of the "football package". I just pay for the basic plan and I have it here, unblocked

Jim Dandy: with Direct TV you get the NFL channel in the basic package, you dont have to buy the whole football package

rednaz23: I have to agree that Rothlisburger is doing better right now than all the rest after the big two...

But how can you not pick Farve, really?

Mcnair sucks, Eli isnt there yet....

I have said all year long that Green bay is not very good, considering their record, although they looked a lot better yesterday, I think they are gaining confidence, and the Defense is legit, but you put them in the Super Bowl against the Pats, and they get killed!

I still think the Boys will take the NFC against the Pats!

Walter Montego: It was a very tense game, and it was a good thing for the Pats to play in one like that, just to help their intensity level, I was even ready to admit defeat at one point!

The bookies had it right on, so actually anyone who bet the colts and the 4.5 points got a win.

Jim Dandy: I can make it easy on you.... hold him out no matter what

Walter Montego: That sounds about right.

As much as I would love for the Pats to go undefeated, there could be some positive things if they were to lose one, but not against the Colts, its just not going to happen.

The thing I am worried about most right now, is that some 'experts" keep saying that some teams and players are going to start going after our players, to hurt them on purpose!

awesome: It doesnt matter

you will get to see first hand how good the Pats really are this season, would you care to make a bet on this game?

Jim Dandy: I didnt know he was out?

That makes it even better... I think people will be surprised just how much better the Pats are than anyone else, especially after they whip up on Indy

Okay, now that I have another MLB championship under my belt with the red sox....

Time to brag it up for my Pats again!

They are playing the Super Bowl champs who are themselves undefeated and playing at home, but still the Patriots are favored!!!!


I cant wait to see how we stack up against some real competition, I think we will kick butt again.

MadMonkey: I guess they sold 90 thousand tickets in less than an hour or something fast like that!

Anyone see the NFL game in England?

MLB Champs again!!!

YEAH RED SOX!!!

Red Sox go for the sweep tonight!

real football in London!

awesome: so I know losing very well ........

Dont you mean choking?

Jim Dandy: The Bills moving to Toronto? Hmmmmm very interesting indeed

awesome: Did Randy Moss loaf it in Oakland, or are the Raiders just that bad?

awesome: hhahahahahahha.... just looked at your profile, being from Oakland explains everything!

awesome:

Walter Montego: Okay, Red Sox are back into the world series, and the pats are 7-0, and Boston college football is ranked number 2 in the nation......

Doesnt get much better than this

i think the best move was to put Elsbury in place of Coco Crisp

Jim Dandy: Well, dont be surprised to see Wakefield or any of the other pitchers as well if Dice K looks the least bit sheekey tonight!
