So...the Royals have been absolutely awful for 25 years now. If I follow this line of thinking, then they should be winning the World Series any day now?

no, you'd have to spend time watching minor league baseball to determine who to draft....teams spend millions of dollars on people who do this job....some are good at it, some are not so good.
the royals, since you mention it, picked up players like snyder, stodolka, griffin, and lubanski with their 1st round picks ....these are players who never see the light of day.
i didn't tmind their pick this draft [crow]

you think maybe the atlanta thrashers might have lost a few games on purpose the year Ilya Kovalchuk was in the draft.
or better yet, if you had a team in 2003, the season ovechkin was becoming available in the draft, you might lose some extra games as to finish in last place overall as to pick up this superstar.
drafting is key in the success of a franchise.
finishing in last place, even though your team is capable of making the play-offs is quite common.
that requires fixing games.

I didn't see a poll choice for "The Cowboys are a bunch of pussies but will beat the Eagles anyway."

elSicomoro · 01-06-2010, 12:57 PM

3 of the 4 games this weekend are rematches of last weekend...I think the Eagles will take this one.

classicman · 01-06-2010, 01:48 PM

I am highly skeptical of the Eagles winning this weekend.
I mean we are talking McNabb here. The guy that blamed "youth" for the dismal performance of last weekend. Youth? Last I checked the QB who repeatedly missed open targets would and should shoulder some, if not most of the blame for a team scoring a total of ZERO points.
Him taking a leadership role would have gone a lot farther than blaming the "kids" that have been covering his lame ass all year.
Then again if they lose, maybe McNabb gets traded/released/goes away.

did I mention that Whip is nvts?

wow.

Imagine you're a huge Cowboys fan.

You have season tickets, and they're good seats. you got to watch the boys pummell the Eagles last weekend...and this week....they're coming back for seconds. the only thing better than beating the Eagles 24-0 is beating the Eagles in the playoffs.

i don't care if it's 7-6. If we can beat these cocksuckers this week, I'll guarantee a SuperBowl appearance.

We might lose to the Colts.....but we'll get there.

COWBOOOOOOYYYYYS!

W.HI.P · 01-07-2010, 12:27 AM

if the cowboys take out the eagles, you would very likely be in the superbowl, but you'd be facing the chargers, not the colts

Elspode · 01-09-2010, 05:48 PM

So, who's going to generate the most money in this Cowboy/Eagles match?

I was going to ask who was going to win, but since that's irrelevant...

W.HI.P · 01-09-2010, 06:38 PM

The money is heavily lop-sided on the cowboys.
nfl network is bombarding this game, guiding the money.
regardless, the eagles are clearly the superior team on both sides of the ball.
its too bad for the cowboys as they would have easily eliminated the vikings in minnesota next week.

Elspode · 01-09-2010, 06:57 PM

So, because most bets are on the Cowboys to win, they will lose, right? Because that's how the most money will be made, instead of it being on the spread? I need this to be a predication with the gambling argument backing it up.

lumberjim · 01-09-2010, 09:48 PM

seriously?

is that a good thing?

I have to admit that I am strongly effected by the outcome of meaningless sporting events of the dallas cowboys variety.

Poor thing you.
you've been miserable for the longest time.

lumberjim · 01-09-2010, 10:15 PM

yeah.... I wanted to talk to you about that...

let's meet in the Cowboys @ Vikings thread.....or did you want to meet at the Eagles @ Offseasonville thread ???

W.HI.P · 01-10-2010, 12:20 AM

ummm, i didn't expect the eagles to make the play-offs this season.
i didn't put a penny on them to win the superbowl, nfc or the nfc east when the season started, despite them being favorited.
i have a more realistic view from where i'm sitting.
