NBA 10/31 2 Plays

NFL: 6-0 +15
NCAAF: 0-2 -2.9
NBA: 4-2 +3.9

GRIZZ -3 1.1(-108)/1

BULLS -4 1.1(-107)/1

Taking 2 small home favorites here. Bulls look to rebound off a bad game last time out. The Grizz have a lot of solid big men to throw at the Celtics tonight, Swift and Wright coming off the bench. Feel the Grizz will do some damage inside.

chad johnson thinks he's terrel owens...both during the play and after

 

[Matt24]

Johnson will be better than Owens. Johnson is just having fun out ther, it wasnt a throat slash. This guy is the hardest working WR in the league. Will be a hall of famer

that bone-head move could have cost them the game. you do that nonsense when you're up by 30 points...if at all. i'm not saying he doesn't have talent. i'm saying he's a moron.

 

[Matt24]

He wasn't expecting to get flagged. He wasn't doing a throat slash, so he did not think he was doing anything wrong, I agree it was stupid, but actually since it wasn't a throat slash, it did not deserve a flag. He is forgiven. He isn't a moron. "There are 3 things certain in life, death, taxes, and not being able to cover me" -Chad Johnson

 

[blueedwards]

him not expecting a flag on that play proves he's moron. the quote by johnson that you posted sums up perfectly what is wrong with the nfl today.

by the way, nice record in the nfl so far dude...keep it going.

 

[Matt24]

Do you know Chad Johnson? I really don't think you have the right to call him a moron. He is what is wrong with the NFL? Well, let me tell you a little about how Chad Johnson spends his life. He lives 5 minutes away from Paul Brown Stadium. In the offseason, he usually stayed overnight in the players lounge, unless the coaches made him go home. All he does is practice or study. During the season, he doesn't go home during the week a lot of the time. He stays at Paul Brown Stadium, and gets up early and gets to work. When noone else is around, he gets anyone he can to throw him balls. All the guy does is work and he wants to be the best. Chad is having fun out there and his quote was hilarious, you don't hear him whining like Keyshawn or some other players. Noone has stepped up yet and put the clamps down on him, so he has earned the right to talk for a while. All the guy does is want to win.

So I dont think he is what is wrong with the NFL, I think he is what is right about the NFL. Someone putting in all that time and then having fun on Sunday. He probably puts in more time than any other player in the league.

ok. i guess its a difference of opinion. for me, when i see guys do stupid things after a play that cost their team, it drives me crazy. guys like sapp, owens, etc act like its all about them. they seem to care more about looking good or getting "props" than winning.

no, i don't know chad johnson. he seems to be very talented. if you say he works hard to be the best, i'm sure you're right. i guess i would prefer it if, when guys score touchdowns or make a tackle, which they are paid unbelivable amounts of money to do, they would act like professionals. guys like walter payton, jim brown, barry sanders...never acted like that. they acted like professionals.

they were the best players on the field and everybody knew it. they didn't have to pound their chest and do some moronic dance in the endzone to prove anything.

looking forward to you plays this week. good luck

 

[Matt24]

Yeah I dont love all the dancing and everything either. I prefer to just hand the ball to the ref, thats what I always did.

Ok, it was in high school, anything else was a flag. But he is my favorite player now based pretty much on his work ethic, which I value a ton. Plus he delivers on the field.

When you said when guys make a tackle, I do hate anyone who dances after a tackle, most of the time it is a basic play, that drives me nuts.

 

[Matt24]

Thanks, I believe my sunday card is very solid.
