Conference 7.286::sports_90

    The Philadelphia Eagles are now 4-4 after an 0-2 start.   If the season
    ended today, they'd meet the Washington Redskins in the wild-card
    playoffs.  Even under last season's rules, they'd be in the playoffs.
    
    Disappointing so far but hardly a *flop* ...
    
    Perhaps if you substitute the Los Angeles Rams for the Eagles, you
    might have a more accurate list.
    
    Bob Hunt

    I didn't mean that the Eagles are bad but with the talent they
    have I expected them to be in the top 5 teams off the NFL,they
    have lost a few they could of won!!!!

    You might also wanna add the Donks to the list of flops.

    The Eagles have lost *TWO* games they should have won.  At home against
    Phoenix and against Indianapolis.   No excuses for those losses.
    
    Losing to the Giants and the Skins on the road is no shame.  Those are
    two very tough places to win.
    
    Again, losing 4 out of 8 is not a flop.  An underachievement, yes.  A
    flop, no.
    
    And, furthermore, I 'm not all that convinced that they are as talented
    as people think they are.  They are very ordinary in some spots and
    don't pose much of a threat to go very far in the playoffs, if you ask
    me.
    
    Bob Hunt

I'd have to characterise the Bengals and the Oilers as flops right now.
The Bengals offense has joined their defense the past 3 games and the oilers
are racking up impressive numbers everyplace except for the W collumn.

I think PittsburgH will win the AFC Central in a cakewalk....


Metz

San Fran Crisco 49'ers are the biggest flop of the year!!!!

Pa-freakin-thetic!!!

If it wasn't for voodoo and drugs, they would not have won a game.

I'm thoroughly resgusted!

    I see you've come around to my way of thinking on this.
    
    Like I said, the Eagles could 8-8 just as easily as 12-4 with their
    team. They would be better served by going 5-11, and getting some good
    draft picks.

>If it wasn't for voodoo and drugs, they would not have won a game.

Saw Major League last friday night.  I was rollward all the way
through...

Anyway, I loved the part where the big dude who was into voodoo
finally got mad at his voodoo god Jaboo and says

	F___ You, Jaboo, I do it myself!

Then he hit a homer.....

too funny!

'Saw

    In "Major League", I liked when Rick Vaughn (Charlie Sheen) came out of
    the bullpen to face Hayward (played by Pete Vukovich) and they cranked
    "Wild Thing" up to full ear-splitting volume.
    
    And the bitchette-owner who wanted them to lose sat there and said ...
    
    	"I hate this f***ing song".
    
    Classic.

Great movie.  I like Charlie Sheen, and have always enjoyed his
juvenile delinquent roles (cf Ferris Buellers Day Off)....

Why does the name Pet Vukovich sound familiar?????

'Saw

    Pete Vukovich pitched for several major league teams including the
    Brewers, and pitched a couple of World Series games for them in 1982.

    Won a Cy Young too, didn't he?  As I recall it was one of the worst Cy
    Young performances ever, but I'd be proud of it.  Had terminal 5

    So much for staying with the main topic!!!!!!
    
    I'd like to add the Lost A$$ Rams to that list of floppers. These guys
    would get blown away by ANY college team this year!!!

    dinz, you definitely have to get in here more often.  I found myself
    stumbling through that last reply.  Clearly, it takes practice reading
    your writings!  :-)
    
    Hawk

    Yeah, LT is a past-master at sacks, "past" being the key word! :*)
    
    Hey Dinz, glad to see you still got that funny keyboard!!11  :*)
    
    lEe

Well, if you look carefully at LT this year, there's several things
happening.  

In most instances he's being double, sometimes triple teamed.  He 
might not be putting up the numbers, but the contribution is there
nonetheless.  

And, too, he is getting older, which is something I guess we all
have to deal with sooner or later.

'Saw

    Saw, I looked even MORE carefully at this week's SI, which has a small
    section on the decline of sacks this year.
    
    My shot was for the Dinz.

Lee, I'm glad sacks are declining and newer more tight fitting fashions
are in for the ladies this year...  Oh, sorry, I must've gotten my
magazines mixed up ;^)

Can't wait for the Swimsuit Issue...

    I'm not a fashion buff, but mens and ladies clothes tend to vary in
    price, according to the Playboy Fashion Notes.  For 1991 they forcast:
    "Look for ladies dresses to go up, while mens pants come down."

EGADS!

Yet another SPORTS neophyte....

Okay, first, we never stay on the subject at hand because we all
have the attention spans somewhat akin to a slow first grader, or
a hyperactive first grader who needs to take his ridylin...

Also, there's a note in here that I wrote (31.something I think)
which explains why sports is like a microcosm of life.  It was 
an excellent treatise if I do say so myself.  That explains why
we don't stay on the same subject.

Thirdly, most of the noters in here are under the influence of
SPORTShrooms, and that tends to make one wander a tad.

Lastly, ALL CAPS AS YOU MAY WELL KNOW IS SHOUTING AND THAT IS RESERVED
**ONLY** FOR THE NEW JERSEY DEVILS TOPIC.  ALL THOUGH LORD KNOWS THEY
HAVEN'T HAD MUCH TO SHOUT ABOUT LATELY.....

Other than that, welcome aboard....who's your favorite guitarist? ;^)


Seriously, we do try, but it's a lot more fun not to....
