BILLS are all Paid Out!!
Who's Not huge in sports?
The Buffalo Bills are really horrible, and terrible fakers from the effort they put on in the beginning of the year. Then they gave Ryan Fitzpatrick major franchise money, and he's starting to look like a bust!
Not taking anything away from Miami, who annihilated Buffalo today 35-8 and have resurgence with 3 wins in a row under Matt Moore. Matt Moore is playing well, but believe me the Dolphins are not going to give him $59 million dollars!
Buffalo has not won a game since signing Fitzpatrick to that contract. Yikes!!
If the Bills were smart, they would play Brad Smith a lot more after signing him away from the Jets for a cool $14 million free agent contract.
Big spenders the bills....
Today they could not snap the ball properly!
I know they've had changes in the offensive line, but whatever man...
this is the NFL! and we expect players to rise up and play efficiently and fundamentally sound. The Bills are none of these things right now.
Right now the Bills are a confused bunch pf players headed for a fate Bills fans are used to seeing. Losing records and not making the playoffs.
Like they Jets They are headed in the wrong direction at 5-5.
Not much relief in sight as I witnessed a gutless performance from the Bills players.
They were down big in the 2nd half, but had a 1st and goal from the 2 yard line in the 3rd quarter and could not score. They didn't even come close.
Dolphins swimming back to life!
BILLS way overpaid and Not huge in sports.
NBA LOCKOUT BUST!!!
Who's Not huge in Sports?
Okay that's it!! I have to speak out about this NBA Lockout.
At this point I must absolutely side with the owners.
I understand what the perspective is for the players and their perceived equal stake and claim in NBA related revenue.
However the bottom line remains that the Boss and owners pay the bills.
Asking for a 50/50 split sounds reasonable to me?
Especially when you consider many of the small market teams don't draw sell out crowds, and have struggled to pay the demanding high priced salaries.
True from the players defense that the NBA owners need a collective bargaining agreement such as the one in the NFL.
Though getting the wealthy owners like New York, LA, Chicago, to go along with that...will take it's due process. But for now just to get back to playing and try and patch up the relationship with disgruntled fans, accept the deal players!!
Especially in this economy??
You're making huge money but now have to accept a slight pay cut.
Compared to most people in this country, it's difficult to explain this to the common American, and have people side with you?
Let's play Ball!!!
Thousands of people who's livelyhood depends on the NBA are out of work right now and can't support their families in their current trade because of your (at this point) selfishness.
We can't tell the boss what to do!! We can only do the best we can to survive and be be happy. Let's be happy again and have our NBA.
The Knicks were just starting to come together...and now who cares??
We're all pissed off about this!!
You've made your point and your voice has been heard.
Pick up the reigns and continue your fight another time.
Before it gets worse...please cut the deal and get to playing ball.
Thank you.
What's your take?
RANGERS FREESED OUT!!
The Texas Rangers gave it all they had but just came up short of winning their 1st ever World Championship in Baseball.
However as good as they played to make it to back to back World Series, we have to look a little closer at the fact they really choked this one away.
Several times in games 5 & 6 Texas had a chance to put the Cardinals away and couldn't do it. Certainly Nelson Cruz failure to catch the ball with 2 outs 2 strikes in the bottom of the 9th in game 6 proved costly. It was simply a ball that should have been caught. It wasn't routine but it was a catch a major league right fielder needs to make. He got FREESED OUT!!
David Freese hit a beauty, but had some hometown luck on his side as well.
For Texas they will be hard pressed to return to this spot. What remains now is a lot of "what ifs" and 'we were 1 strike away from winning!!"
Hard to swallow.
The Cards were all lined up but the Rangers futility continues into it's 5th decade.
Better luck next year.
JETS D' for Doesn't get it done!
The New York JETS spectacular defense led by the ever proud Rex Ryan failed in their biggest moment when the team, organization and fans needed them most for 1 stop!
Jets had cut the score to 27-21 against New England with seven minutes to go in the game.
Get the ball back and Sanchez may have driven the team for the winning touchdown!? All they needed was a stop from their supposed "A+" defense.
They couldn't do it. Brady orchestrated the team led by Ben Jarvis Green Ellis, who looked like the 2nd coming of the greatest power runner ever!....whoever you want that to be? They led the Pats to the game securing field goal to take a 9 point lead WITH 1:06 left and no time outs!. There are no 9 point plays in Football.
Brady and Belickecks strategy beat the Jets with their own philosophy.
Out smarted, and out coached.
When it came down to it, Jets did not come through.
Much evaluation to be made about the depth of this group.
Doesn't seem as strong as in the past 2 seasons?
Jets home for the next 2 can shed some light before the BYE week.
But this is NOT Championship Jets football...sorry.
Florida Can't Shake Bad Fish Smell!!
The Florida Marlins are going through one of their worst stretches in Team history losing 10 in a row and 17 of their last 18 ball games.
Then Their "Skipper" Edwin Rodriguez suddenly resigns ....when there was no calling for his job?
He's bailing on this bad situation. Brandon Hyde his bench coach will be the Interim Manager.
Maybe Rodriguez thought his stepping down would ignite the team?
Well it didn't work on Sunday as the Marlins struggled to score runs and gave up a late 8th Inning run off a mental "error" by Pitcher Ryan Webb.
Rays win 2-1 and of course sweep the series from Florida.
Marlins will try to seek their salvation against the LA Angels coming in off a series win vs The Mets.
Bad fish right now In Florida. So bad they're not huge in sports.
Lebron Not MVP
Who's Not Huge in Sports?
Turns out D Wade was really the prime free agent all along?
Everyone fussing over Lebron, and the "decision", turns out Wade is the better all around big time clutch player.
James however swearing this (game 5) would be the game of his life after his miserable 8pts gm 4, did accomplish a triple double, but his shot selection and decision making in clutch moments was suspect.
King James?? I think not.
A lot of BULL
Who's Not Huge in Sports?
The Chicago Bulls are not looking like a Championship team, nor is Derrick Rose performing like the league MVP.
They are also letting the Miami Heat dictate the pace of this series as Chicago trails the best of seven 2-1 with a critical game 4 coming up Tuesday in Miami.
Note to the Bulls coaching staff and players:
Can someone please guard Udonis HASLEM!
I dislike the Heat. That is no secret. But if they do win this series, then look no further than Haslem as the key addition. The one dynamic power forward (Injured all season) who I feared would be the missing link to Miami's success in Lebron's 1st season once he got healthy.
Looks like I was right! His style is fit for almost any team.
Reminds me of a Knick favorite, a more athletic Charles Oakley.
Haslem is perfect for Miami, and teams need to respect his position because right now he's The Heats saving front court option off the bench. Everyone else is sitting.
Get it together Bulls or it's Sayonara!
YANKEES OLD & IN THE WAY
Who's not huge in sports?
The NY Yankees are in the middle of an early season slump that could be more defining than in years past. Especially since they just got swept by the Boston Red Sox, going down Sunday after blowing an early 4-1 lead to lose 7-5.
Problem here is Yankees are an "older" team, and therefore will find it more challenging to rally for the long haul. If the pitching cannot counteract some of the offensive downfalls, then this catchup and come from behind thing will be regular fare for the Yanks.
Lester (5-1) settled down and got the win for the Sox while Garcia (2-3) took the loss for NY.
These teams are clearly going in opposite directions with the Red Sox just reaching the .500 mark and the Yankees heading there.
The game was surrounded with controversy over Jorge Posada pulling himself from the start of the game for unspecified reasons.
However the vibe appears to be one of a slowdown. The lack of confidence in the production of some aging hall of fame Baseball Players.
We realize mediocrity has struck the Yankees Pitching staff, but now we're seeing the aging and the ending of some of that greatness that Baseball fans and New Yorkers have enjoyed for so many years.
No break for the team as they head south to play the Hot Tampa Rays as Burnett (4-2) will face Price (5-3)
Good luck Yanks because you certainly were not huge in sports this weekend.
GIANTS Suffer DALLAS EMERGENCE
Who's Not Huge in Sports?
The New York Giants have had letdowns before but Sunday night's loss to a depleted Dallas team takes the cake.
Giants couldn't correct their own blunders even when the opportunities arose losing to the hapless Cowboys 33-20. Eli put up good numbers (373yds passing & 2TD's) but made some sloppy decisions throwing 2 INT's and failing to cover up cautiously a fumble he could have easily recovered. Just simply careless.
Dallas under new head coach Jason Garrett feels new life pumped into his team after shocking the Giants at home. NY had It's chances but penalties, and Turnovers cost them.
This should instill some confidence in a Cowboys team that's been devastated this year. Garrett attempting to show his skills as the man in charge presented J Jones and Dallas fans something unexpected yesterday. Reason to smile in Texas? Not really. Cowboys got out to the early start but their Defense was not sharp. Giants sloppy play opened the door for them. Something they've done for less fortunate teams. Giants made Backup Jon Kitna look like an All Pro with 327 yds passing and 3 TD's.
Gmen need focus now to achieve their very attainable destiny in Football heaven.
Giants at 6-3 have a big time contest with Philly next week. A lot will be told after that game. For Sunday though, Giants slip sliding and Not Huge!
BENGALS BLUNDERS
Who's Not Huge in sports?
The Cincinnati Bengals thought they had finally gotten over the hump after last seasons great run finishing 10-6, winning their division plus knocking of the Steelers twice in the regular season!
It all ended in disappointment for them with a wild card Playoff loss to the JETS.
It's been down hill since then as the Bengals entered Monday night's matchup against the Steelers 2-5 needing a victory to keep their season alive, came out sloppy and full of turnovers losing 27-21.
They actually had a chance at the end to win the game, but Carson Palmer could not connect with any of his receivers. Despite the big game by T.O. for 10 catches, 140 yards and 2 TD's Cincy just could not get that big play finish, as a 4th and 5 in the red zone failed as the ball slipped away from Shipley and the Bengals season.
Steelers not even at their best won this game in the clutch by the defense.
Roethlisberger was moderate with 176 yards passing 1 TD and 1 INT.
but the team is 6-2 and will have the Patriots coming into Heinz field next week.
Bengals will continue their misery heading into hungry Indianapolis to take on the Colts.
For Monday night Bengals certainly not huge.
RANGERS REALITY
Who's not huge in sports?
The Texas Rangers suffered their most bitter most horrific loss in team History in game #1 of the ALCS 2010.
It's almost cruel, somewhat sad, and of course the the domination and control of the New York Yankees and their lock on the Rangers franchise.
Texas was up 5-0!! on the World Champs through 7 Innings.
Top Ranger Hamilton got the game going with a 3 run boom shot off CC, and then
M Young, who's struggled recently hit the biggest double of his career putting Texas up comfortably 5-0. at the time.
C.J. Wilson was great till a crack of the bat from Cano in the 7th.
He started the 8th in trouble when a hustling Bret Gardner ignited the Yanks with his dramatic infield single.
Once Wilson was chased the fangs came out and the Yankee sluggers feasted.
First it was Jeter's double, then Arod's Single, followed by Cano's single, and Thames single.
Bottom of the 8th and the Yanks are up 6-5. Done ...see ya as Mariano Rivera comes in to seal it.
Devastation in Texas. The Rangers once again fail to ever win a playoff game at home!
Can they rebound mentally from this and bounce back for game #2?
They better. Pitching matchups has Colby Lewis (13-12) going against Phil Hughes (18-8)
All pressures go on Texas now to win game #2 or toast.
Could it be too late by the time Lee gets to pitch?
We'll see but for Friday night Texas was not huge.
