Road to Superbowl XLV

Is this going to go on the front page at all?

Sometimes it’s the little things that make the biggest difference. Took about 5 minutes to add that from some code provided by some random guy but it works very neatly.

Reggie Bush to forfeit Heisman

Running back Reggie Bush has decided to hand over the Heisman.

Under pressure since his award winning 2005 campaign at Southern California was vacated, Bush said in a statement on Tuesday that he will forfeit the Heisman Trophy.

“One of the greatest honors of my life was winning the Heisman Trophy in 2005,” the statement released by the New Orleans Saints reads. "For me, it was a dream come true. But I know that the Heisman is not mine alone. Far from it. I know that my victory was made possible by the discipline and hard work of my teammates, the steady guidance of my coaches, the inspiration of the fans, and the unconditional love of my family and friends. And I know that any young man fortunate enough to win the Heisman enters into a family of sorts. Each individual carries the legacy of the award and each one is entrusted with its good name.

“It is for these reasons that I have made the difficult decision to forfeit my title as Heisman winner of 2005.”

The NCAA passed down heavy sanctions on USC relating to improper benefits received by Bush and basketball player O.J. Mayo. The Heisman Trust was scheduled to meet on Tuesday, but it was not clear if Bush was on the agenda. The group has been reviewing whether Bush should have his award taken away.

It’s the first time college football’s top award was returned by a recipient.

During a Monday morning interview with Hannah Storm on ESPN’s SportsCenter, Vince Young, the runner-up in the 2005 Heisman voting, said he wouldn’t turn down the trophy if Bush lost it.

"I definitely want it, I definitely want it,’’ said Young, who guided Texas to the national championship. "But he won it fair and square definitely, and it’s much respect to Reggie, man. He had a great career and he’s already won a Super Bowl before me. I’m already mad about that.

“But at the same time I am definitely happy for him, man, and he is definitely the Heisman Trophy winner forthat year. But if they send it over to me I am not going to say no to it,” Young said.

Moroney after being traded by the Patriots to the Broncos for a 4th rounder. never really got it going for them, not too suprising a move

Hm, not sure what I make of that, that leaves the oldest RB corp I’ve ever seen.

Favre is finished at the game, having a nightmare.

Lovely bit of bottling there from the Patriots kicker. Delay of game as he knocked over a straightforward FG and he pulled the repeat effort.

Have the kickers become more much worse in the past couple of years or is it just me watching more games? Some amount of bottling from a wide range of kickers - Nick Folk, Nate Kaeding and all those type of sorts.

Gotskowski missed 2 last week, first time he missed 2 in a game. Kaeding and Folk are known as chokers.

You have the Cowboys using a lad who they believed wasn’t good enough to kick last year too. And the most reliable kickers are the guys from the last geneartion like Longwell.

Oh my word - what a catch by Randy Moss. :clap:

Just wish to comment on my beloved Bucs fantastic win. 2 for 0. Superbowl here we come!!! B)

Super grab alright. Reminded me of one of your athletic penalty stops from recent seasons.

fooking Jets bastards

Mark Sanchez ramming Flano’s and Gman’s jeers firmly back down their throats here. :clap:

What’s the story with OT and betting on these NFL games? Specifically handicap betting, do points scored in OT count?

Chicago Bears 2-0…that is all

He’s still a scumbag playing for the scummiest team there has ever been in the NFL. Edwards should get a 10 game suspension for his bullshit today.

You’re an 8-8 team with that secondary, Flano.

Ah not really, an 11-5 team.
