It could 1b with 1a being the Ole Miss presser.

I couldn't stand Merton Hanks when he played, but when I watch that herky-jerky move now I love it.

I think if you surveyed NFL players, a group that largely agrees with Tebow's religious beliefs and therefore should have little reason to discriminate based on that alone, they would tell you they would prefer mid-2000s Plummer over Tebow as their own team's QB. I understand your side too. Maybe it wasn't his place to discuss the issue, but everyone else in America has an opinion on Tebow (including me) and he was asked by the interviewer to give his thoughts.

To have a personal relationship with someone/something you place faith in is wonderful, but to project that relationship onto the masses without their solicitation (and to thereby suggest that your belief structure is the only right one and superior to anyone else's) is not something I welcome.

He walked away from football on his own terms. Tampa Bay even acquired him with the desire to make him their starting QB in 2007, but Plummer chose to retire instead.

I'm glad we could help you out with some info for Thursday. Here's to hoping you and your family have a great Thanksgiving.

Now let me get back to slamming my face into my wall while thinking about not having NBA basketball this season and Tim Duncan's last legitimate chance at a title being wasted because guys like Brendan Haywood and Travis Outlaw think they deserve $7M-$10M a year.

But never have I seen one fly hundreds of yards into a pond outside the race track. Granted, I haven't seen more than a couple dozen KART/Indy races, but I would think a crash like that would have been replayed often throughout the years. Nevertheless, thanks for visiting and taking the time comment.

It's not the kick, specifically, but the combination of the kick and the circumstances are what made it ridiculous. Thanks for visiting and commenting.

I'm not sure what you were expecting from an article titled "The 10 Most Unrealistic Sports Scenes in Movie History," but I appreciate you checking it out and taking the time to comment. If you have any specific criticisms, I'm all ears.

Some movies should never be remade, and Karate Kid is one of them.

I have had some terrible luck the last couple of days, but I'm still having a blast with it. Maybe we'll joust again in the near future! Thu, 10 Nov 2011 09:01:42 +0000 http://www.midwestsportsfans.com/2011/10/the-best-alternative-to-fantasy-sports-and-sports-betting-ever/#IDComment219748232 http://www.midwestsportsfans.com/2011/11/perspective-having-been-in-joe-paternos-shoes/#IDComment219713716 "I won’t accept the size of Penn State or the power of the institution of college football as an excuse for inaction when circumstance demands it." This is as good a statement as I've seen in regards to this entire situation. Well done. Thu, 10 Nov 2011 06:57:55 +0000 http://www.midwestsportsfans.com/2011/11/perspective-having-been-in-joe-paternos-shoes/#IDComment219713716 http://www.midwestsportsfans.com/2011/10/tim-tebow-double-standard-masks-this-reality-his-start-compares-favorably-with-that-of-numerous-hall-of-fame-qbs/#IDComment214934612 I see your point, but every coach/scout/expert not named Josh McDaniels says that Tebow will never succeed because of his poor mechanics, locking onto a single receiver and holding the ball too long/having a slow release. It definitely will take guys some time to mature into smart, effective quarterbacks. Let's also not forget how much easier it is to rack up passing stats now. QBs can't get hit, DBs can't play physical with receivers and tacklers can't lay vicious blows to offensive players any more. I obviously can't prove this, but I bet a rookie John Elway or Joe Montana would be able to do much better today than Tebow has so far, at least in terms of completion %, yardage and touchdown passes. Mon, 31 Oct 2011 19:15:35 +0000 http://www.midwestsportsfans.com/2011/10/tim-tebow-double-standard-masks-this-reality-his-start-compares-favorably-with-that-of-numerous-hall-of-fame-qbs/#IDComment214934612 http://www.midwestsportsfans.com/2011/10/tim-tebow-double-standard-masks-this-reality-his-start-compares-favorably-with-that-of-numerous-hall-of-fame-qbs/#IDComment214930284 It should be mentioned that Moon played in the CFL and Young and Kelly in the USFL before their NFL days, so while there were some questions about whether they could be traditional passers (Moon and Young, Kelly wasn't doubted much), they at least had some extra seasoning playing professional football before the NFL. Neither Young or Moon had the glaring problems with quarterbacking mechanics that Tebow has, and all of the others listed came into the league with solid technique and the experience of a mostly pro-style system from their college days. I agree that you can't write Tebow off after a handful of starts (since they invested so much in to get him they have to see it through), but I just don't see any way that he ever becomes anything above average as an NFL quarterback. It's important to note that the majority of his completions and yardage from yesterday's game after the game was decided and Detroit stopped bringing the house at him.

I even used to have it as a ringtone. I should probably stop talking.

I do agree with the long term thing, but this franchise is so starved for a playoff berth they are willing to do anything.

I think the Raiders feel like the West is wide open right now and they need to try to win this year.
