Jim Rice could be a landmark player for what si looked at when voting for the Hall of fame. There is no doubt in my mind he should be, but there is doubt in my mind he will get in. There is no argument he was a great hitter, and his fieling was good, a career .980 Fielder. My question is, does what you team does effect, I say yes, lets look at some of the lesser Hall of Famers... Orlando Cepeda.......2 Time WS winnner. Ozzie Smith.............1 Time WS winner Mike Schmidt...........1 Time WS winner All those guys don't have incredible carrer numbers...but they do have rings. I feel as if Rice should be in, but does the fact he never wona world series, and doesn't have incredable numbers, work agesnst him?

Yea..a good move...I expect him to have a few game winning catches and hits.

Yep....but I got nothing to gain, nothing to lose.....so why not?:thumbsup:

St. Louis Sunday Night Football Total points 55 idk how to score a tie, but I said thgat game would end in a tie since the schedual was released......so.....tie(W if it is, L if it aint I guess....)

Fun Fact for everyone, The last time the Jets and Patriots played, where one of the teams scored over 30 was in 2002, and the highest scoreing ever was a 47-31 Jets win when they won the SB('68) Largest margin of victory for the Patriots was a 53 point win in '79, and largest for the Jets was a 19point win in the 80's Also, 36 years ago, the Jets played the first ever MNF game on ABC, vs the Browns, they will also play in the last MNF game ever on ABC this year. So ALL odds are agenst me, lets hope I can beat them, come on 42-20 JETS! http://img481.imageshack.us/img481/6674/d6ae.png

I'm going away on Monday Morning, by the very unlikely chance I do win, SFOC, do you still got my adress from like 4 weeks ago?, if not, would u want it, or wanna just wait till I get back(Wend[3 days later])

I'm sorry then, since I asked you to still do this, I just liked doing my picks....sorry if it made you feel you needed to give prizes this week too....sorry:(

Yea...do that, cuz I couldn't fit what I did in, it was about 6,000 charac ters too many:dunno:

I'll do it right now if u want, I got nothing better to do.....

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: U'd have to use periods, likes Wade Boggs...........blah..........blah and if the dots annoyed you enough, you could put [ COLOR=White][ /COLOR] around them, like this Wade Boggs.............blah..........blah Its a long list, I'll comment it later, just helping u out with the 'sloppiness'

So...I got a few questions.... Whos going to be the leadoff hitter?, Jeters usualyy ours, and Damons usually the same, we've tried putting others in front of Jeter before, but idk if we want to have a permanent one. Whats Bernies role? I know he can play backup CF, but I don't think he'd be a great DH, he'd have to bat like 7-9th, and hes decreased in HRs, and I could only seeing him knocking in 13-17 based on playing time. Doesn't Sheffield hate Damon? or is that just Pedro(that Sheffield Hates) What does this set your expectations for for the team? I mean were pretty good looking right now, and if we were to get anymore star players, our expection could be like 120 games, minamum?

At NY Jets Monday Night Football Total Points Scored.................62 On Jets Patriots....last week I originally picked the Dolphins to beat the Jets, then right before I click submit, I changed it, becuase I figured, what if they won and I picked them to lose?? At least if I picked them, and they lost, I wouldn;'t really be mad at myself. Today, I didn't hesitate one bit to pick the Jets. My head and heart are telling me..the Jets are gunna get killed, but seeing Brooks own the stage last week, MNF, Home, day after Chritmas, I wouldn't be surprised if we pulled an upset. And I do think it'll add up to 62 plus...............

are you looking for players on the decline..or like youngins? Id say like a Tiki Barber, Bettis, Farrior. Defensive jerseys are rare, thats what I'd say to get, like a OLB, dunno many of those for sale. Sorry i cannot help you more, but all the guys I could tell you you don't wanna know(Jets)

It seems the 4:15 games are helping em out..I'll just wait till someone shows everything tomarrow...cuz if I try..and see that I'm 13-2 in my picks..and then find out i'm rreally 2-14 or sumthing lol

WOW...this just in...Brooks Bollinger had 326 Yards!!! I know that this was a matchup of 2 sucky teams..but I'm excited for MNF with the Pats. Day after XMas....A win would be awsome(Unexpected) But awsome

Wow.....as fast as things were going good for me..they all fell apart... Indyu I have a push...get a lkoss for straight...same for Jets

NFL- Jets since 1997 MLB- Yankees since 1995 NBA- Knicks since 2000 NCAA- Syracuse since 1997 I've seen all my teams win a combined 5 Championships And take away the Yankees..1(SU Basketball)

Everythings falling into place for me!!!!!Or at least the threes game sI'm watching:thumbsup:

Heres what I hope as of now. Jets get a TD, and win 17-10 Colts get 2 TDs, and win 14-13 Vickings get 2 more FGs, Steelers win 10-9 San fran jacksonville to stay the same Seattle to score 2 more TDs win 28-14 Arivonz to score a few more TDs NO to score 2 more TDs lol..that'd help me a lil and those r the teams I want to win anyways

.I don't want the Chargers to win.....but at least if they do...I get a point for srpread(I think) But the Colts ar are a comback team..I hope they win by 21-20

Much better fit for LA than NY...he'll be utilized better

Man, what a shame, Jason Taylor has been talking smack aboiut the Jets for years on years, and the Dolphins are the only team who the Jets have consistently dominated year in-year out. So with all that I want top kill them.....it'll be hard...I believe it has been announced that both Sean Ellis and dwayne robertson will not play...so in all lickleyhood, we will have 15 players who started week 1 injured today...its a shame to look at. But on the topic of picks.....I'mm gunna say what I think spread is....can someone tell me if I'm right? Lets say the Dolphins are 7 point favorates over the Jets....and I pick the Jets(for the spread) that means that if the Jets lose by 6 or less, I win(7 is a tie)..So 17-13 Dolphins, 28-27 Dolphins....those kinda scores I win. If I chose the Dolphins...that means they would need to win the game by more the 7 points for me to get a point...so 28-10 fins..sumthing like that, then I'd et a point(if I picked them)...If I expect the Jets to win though...then I just pick the Jets?? Thats what I think it is...am I right?

I don't think its underestimating when I say I thought his injury would effect him.. Underestimating is more like Patriots will only win by 3 cuz their no good. Almost 75% of QBs that got injured were effectd there after. Thoguh most had to miss the season, there MccNabb, Vick, Rothlessburger...ect.ect,(Guys like Pennington and Culpeper just got injured...and were out) I know the Patriots are good, I was just saying I thought his leg would effect his play some how

lol..I hate the Patriots....but yet I respect them..theres iother teams that have been good that i don't respect.. And the only thing I meant is that every players human....I figured that this could be Bradys trun to fall...but he didn't..it'll take me one more week to be convinced...but its looking good for u guys....but I'm pushing for a Colts-Giants SB...then I wouldn't really care who wins
