Ronnie Lott is retired

Does he know that....does he even know what day it is? Lott hit like a freight train and had his bell rung countless times. He couldn't earn enough to cover the fines if he played in the game today....not that they were cheap shots but he punished the other team.

Anyone think the Chargers got robbed in the fourth on the long ball that looked like the receiver was OB when he came down? It looked like it could have been an interception, but at the very least it should have been reviewed. Could have changed the outcome a little or at least made it closer.

No....the Chargers burned their challenges earlier in the game so there was no way to review the play. Plus, the push out rule is gone this year and Jackson was out of bounds....he could not have had possession of the ball in bounds since Taylor was able to wrestle away the ball.

Lott was a great player and if I had to rank them, he and Reed would be 1 and 1a...but Reed finds the endzone more and in my opinion the better player. And my guess is when its all said and done, Reed goes down by himself as #1...

...just a matter of opinion. Lott was an amazing talent for sure, and one of my favorites...

I didn't realize they had burned their challenge, but clearly (to me) had his feet down even with Taylor having two hands on the ball. Doesn't a tie go to the offense? Not trying to argue, just thought it was a questionable play.

Now the Ravens getting a 1.35 extra second tick on the play clock... that was bad. I'd be especially pissed if I were a Titan fan. But being a Bills fan, to me it's called what goes around comes around (i.e. music city miracle bungle).

...just a matter of opinion. The analysts seem to favor reed as well...by far

I will argue that Reed is not the best of all-time simply because people throw at him, there must be a reason.....hence the number of picks.

He is not a shutdown type player like Prime Time was.....and I can't stand Sanders. However, he was a difference for every team that signed him. Reed is good but I don't think you could just plug him into the defense of another team and he would excel like Sanders.....Reed benefits from the system.

Just my two cents....

[quote="Resident Piazza Fan":7czn0u65]Morning Dan, didn't think you were going to make it this morning, so I started a morning thread. Sorry about that, didn't mean to step on your toes bud. Weekend went pretty well. I thought I'd have it off until my boss called at about 9:30 Sat. morning asking if I would work a couple hours.

"Ummmm, yeaaaahhhhhh, we're going to need you to come in on Saturday, ok? Greeeaaat."

Morning guys.[/quote:7czn0u65]

"Has anybody seen my stapler?"... ; :lol:

Dan - Nice to hear the room is complete...the little one will look pretty cool in that red sox gear I have some stuff to send you soon, I will let you know when it goes out. I may ask you for a few addy's of other members to send some "surprise" stuff to if you don't mind.

Hope all is well this morning guys!!!

I will argue that Reed might even be the greatest athlete in the league as a whole. I have no doubt that if ever left Baltimore that his numbers/big play ability would remain a constant. A ballhawk that finds the endzone and gives offenses fits. Sanders was a CB that was awesome, hard to compare him to a safety though...

I think Jackson came down out of bounds....and that is why Taylor didn't get credit for the pick when it was all said and done.

The play clock expiring and potential safety by Flaco might have cost the Titans the game. However, injuries stalled the Titans ground game and that cost them in the second half.

And don't forget, if Carney makes at least one of the two he missed, it's in extra innings I feel bad for the guy.

Morning everyone. Still trying to wake up. Max woke up around midnight coughing and sounding horrible. He was having a hard time breathing so I took him to the ER. Found out he caught the Croop. He was looking/sounding ok about 30 min after we got there. They gave him some meds and a breathing treatment and sent us home. Talk about fun :?


He back to his normal squirrely self this morning

My two year old had the croop recently too. He didn't have it as bad that we needed to take him to the ER, but it's not fun. Lots of Vicks rub, humidifier, warm baths, etc. Glad your little guy is doing better! This has been a rough flu season for our family in general this year. This warm/cold weather fluctuation down here is terrible.

 

[MojoDan]

wideright and Josh - glad to hear both made it through okay

 

[metallicalex777]

Josh and Wideright - glad to here the boys are doing better. I have never heard of the Croop...but a name like that does not sound very fun. Not the best way to start a Monday Glad all is getting better though...sounds like you guys have some tough kids (in a great way of course ).
