CB Buckner isn’t capable of fixing a game. He’s an equal opportunity incompetent.

 

This is fair enough, he may be unintentionally fixing the games and unaware of what he's doing. He and Angel Hernandez both.

[Tedballgame]

Patriots might've won, Saints might've won, you guys have no way of knowing, that wasn't my point, my point was that the refs blatantly blew that game with one of the worst no calls in pro sports history and cost the Saints a chance of going to the game.

It was a horrible call. Agree with that.

One last thing about hockey. It's not an American sport, it's a Canadien sport. Also, hockey has never gotten a fair shake from the major networks. Years ago NBC agreed to carry the NHL, but only if during the game, there would be one intermission and not 2. The NHL told NBC where they could shove that idea.

[Tedballgame]

this is funny coming from a patriots fan. are you going to ignore the fact that the patriots, steelers and peyton manning were only afc teams to represent afc besides one year of joe flacco for almost 20 year span?

Seems to me that the Giants, Packers, Eagles and Rams all won Super Bowls besides those teams.

You do know that brady and manning during that time where ahead of basically everyone in the nfl.

Red Sox messed up due to the fact they thought this season would be easy and a cakewalk after winning the title. they made no improvements to the roster, lost a few guys, and decided to rest and take it easy in spring training, with a nice, lax 'we the champs" attitude. almost oblivious to the fact that they would have a target on their back. did they really think red sox and astros weren't pissed about how their seasons ended? they are motivated, and sox have a target on their back. this has been a pathetic start to the season, and no, INJURIES ARENT A REASON FOR THIS. Astros are missing altuve and now springer. yankees have literally 75% of their roster on dl. they haven't had Stanton, didi, severino, betances or judge for basically any of the season.

Don’t forget the saints. Seahawks.

Two wonderful examples of how strong the umpires' union is. That these two clowns are still umping proves that.

[Tedballgame]

Don’t forget the saints.

That's right.

[Tedballgame]

Lets go Bruins!

and in the nba the lakers, Celtics, pistons, spurs, cavs, heat, mavericks all won championships in same time frame you mentioned... in every sport, the sport is dominated by the best players on the best teams.. i'm not sure what you point is. obviously LeBron and kevin Durant will be fighting for titles every year, just like in nfl tom brady, peyton, big ben and brees have been competing for titles...

At least with the Celtics gone, hopefully the ice will be better at the Garden.

My point is that I don't like watching the NBA and I especially don't like watching the Warriors. It they ever decided to call traveling or palming the ball, Step Curry would have no game.

This is one of the worst sports takes I've ever heard in my life. I hate the Warriors, but Curry is one of the most gifted athletes ever. He is the best shooter of all time and changed the game and shattered records.

[TylerD]

RAPTORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Comin for you Warriors!

I’ll give you that. Curry is phenomenal but he gets away with a lot of fouls. Nobody on Earth can argue that. With that said it doesn’t change the fact of how good he is.

I was just pulling StephenCurry30's chain. Stephen Curry is a great player under today's rules. He is a great shooter, no doubt. I would rather watch Larry Bird play anytime over Curry or any of todays prima donnas.

I think Leonard will have to take his game to another level and how will lowry defend curry will be very key.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Maybe the NHL should come up with a 2 point line. If you score a goal from a certain distance, it counts as two. Nah, the NHL isn't dumb enough to agree to that idea.

[Jasonbay44]

I’ll give you that. Curry is phenomenal but he gets away with a lot of fouls. Nobody on Earth can argue that. With that said it doesn’t change the fact of how good he is.

 

He definitely does, but no more than guys like Harden, Giannis, and etc. The NBA definitely caters to the star players.

 

Congrats on Raptors making the Finals, it'll obviously be very tough to win against the Warriors dynasty, but I'd kill for the Wizards to even have that opportunity lol.

[Jasonbay44]

Kawhi will come to play, but man, the amount of work he'd have to do to carry the offense and somehow limit Kevin Durant will be virtually impossible.

[TylerD]

Honestly I’m not expecting a win against Golden State. They are simply too good. Nobody can beat them right now. I just hope this miracle season continues and we win the home court advtange.

Fair point!

 

And thanks man! It won’t be easy what so ever.

 

Washington looked like they possibly had the opportunity a couple seasons ago. They have regressed a bit. It’s too bad. I actually don’t mind that team at all.

Anything can happen. Isn’t Durant out for the first game?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The greatest basketball player I've ever had the pleasure to see play was Pistol Pete Maravich.

I think it’s a game time decision. But let’s pray he is!

Wow.... I’ve heard of him but that is waaaaay before my day. I think he passed away before I was born lol.

Yeah he died before I was born as well.

Yeah Wizards had an opportunity, but messed up by having no bench and causing their stars to play 45+ minutes a game and by the time they reached conference finals were completely gassed. Now they're stuck in basketball purgatory with a star player in Beal, an injured star in Wall, no GM, and numerous s***** contracts that GM who was just fired signed. Its gonna be a rough, long, rebuild.

[a700hitter]

What a trash performance after Vaz single. Horrible AB's by Beni and Pearce, then Barnes predictably shits himself in the bottom of the 9th.

The Astros are missing their best 2 players -- Altuve and Springer and we still cannot beat them.
