The Best Football Team in America

[Az]

But no Live games? Live games are what all the fun is about. Even if you don't know the scroe, a replay is just that. a replay.

You see, that's a darn shame. We don't get much american sports, but get the sports we are intersted in, i.e. Basketball, Hockey for the people in the north.

I'm sure some of the S.A. games are live. They sometimes play Premiership games live, but I'm not going to watch a game played between 2am and 5am.

It's like watching the Australian Open... do your best to avoid reading the results on the internet & hearing them on the radio, get home and watch the replay. It's not great, but it's the best we can do.

The Spanish League is played at late evenings. You should be able to catch it in the mornings, or something.

strength is much more important, particularly when blockers can use their hands to grab and shove instead of just bumping with their bodies.

Perhaps, but not always. Some of the best offensive lines, have consisted of smaller, more agile OL. One need only to point to the 49ers of the 1980s and the Broncoes of the late '90s to see that. Smaller, agile linemen can pull and trap much easier.

On the other hand, football players just mostly carry out instructions, plans devised by the coach and various assistants.

And of course, everything always goes according to plan .

Sure, but QB's are always at the top

No they aren't. Not always, not by a long shot. There have been many, many drafts where a Defensive Lineman or a Running Back was the first pick. There is usually an Offensive Lineman picked in the top 5 picks. Though this year there wasn't any standout one, so Gross dropped to 9.

Over here on the west coast we get about 5 or 6 live european games a week. Typically 2 Premier league games (8ish am is hardly 2am on the east coast!), 2 Bundesliga games, and a cup match or two during the week. We also get one Argentine match as well as 3-6 Mexican league games, an MLS and an A-league game.

Add on the couple hour delayed Spanish, Dutch, Scottish, and Italian matches and their is enough to stay busy. And a delayed Brazilian match.

And the UEFA Cup final right now... but I'm at work.

Sava: Bears suk, oh thanks for Parish (we love him)

Sure, but QB's are always at the top "Very high" is just comparatively speaking.

QBs are generally the No. 1 pick merely because there are so few of them of merit. Also, if you can mold a quarterback in your playing style then you can easily have a good franchise player down the road who from you can base a whole team. What suks is with the cap this is not going to be as possibly, I think we will see a trend with teams selecting players that can be better from the get go, instead of 2-5 years down the line once the QB has forgotton how scared he gets in the pocket.

Eventually, IMO, teams will begin to run their team around mediocore-good QBs, not so many great QBs like Montana, Marino, and Nameth. Instead will get stuck with Brad Johnson, Trent Dilfer, and Tom Brady... All players who have a super bowl ring for one reason - A great O-Line, and an even better D.

Thanks Sava, I think we get the point. I am a fan of Sweetness, too, but your deliberate spamming is tiresome.
