Sport - fans Hangout

Good Evening Hangout

Note to self, don't make anymore bets.

I made that observation myself a couple of years ago.

Should be a good weekend no matter what your tastes are.  We have Collage Football, NFL, Baseball playoffs, Hockey, Nascar and Indycar races.  Enjoy your weekend.

Taking advantage of a defensive blunder, the Cardinals jump all over Milwaukee pitcher Zack Greinke in the second inning and take an early lead. St. Louis hopes to hang on and take a 3-2 series lead. LIVE: Cards 3, Brewers 0 (4)

Joe, you are so sillly, its all in fun. Get your panties out of a wad and smile, it will make you feel better. You also might just be the sweetest guy i know and i love your avi. Also, I love your Saints just don't tell anybody. It will be our secret. sshhhh
Larry, its you and me this week, wanna make a bet. LOL

Get your panties out of a wad and smile, it will make you feel better.

I sure hope so! I've been meaning to buy some thongs for awhile.

Joe in thongs. OMG. My Eyes My Eyes!!!!!

OK THAT calls for an extra large jug of brain bleach to wash that image out.  lol

Now that's some funny stuff. lol

Joe in thongs. OMG. My Eyes My Eyes!!!!!

Flattery will get you no where!

Morning folks.... stopping in again.

Have fun at the Saints game.  While I think the Bucs are building their franchise the right way, the Saints are still the class of that division.  To that end, I see the Saints spreading the Bucos d-backs with the pass.  Also, isn't LeBount hurt which means that they have to go to their #2 RB.  This suggests that New Orleans should be able to win it.

My team (NY Giants) are up against the up-start Bills today.  Big game for Big Blue since the 2nd half of their schedule is against very tough opponents.  Not sure what to make of the game... I think 50-50 chance as the Bills will be trying to demonstrate that they are contenders instead of pretenders. 

Good Morning Hangout.
We get to watch football today. WOOOHOOOO
Go Panthers and Go Bears

Good luck with all of your teams this weekend.

Lsu is my fav, but 'bama's defence is bad to the bone.

Kinda like a Reeses Peanut butter cup right?

Steelers Hold Off Jaguars, Mendenhall Rushes for 146

PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers spent 30 minutes Sunday reminding the seemingly overmatched Jacksonville Jaguars why they're the defending AFC champions.

Then they spent 30 minutes reminding the rest of the NFL why they're so vulnerable.

Pittsburgh narrowly avoided a stunning collapse in a 17-13 victory, a second successive victory that hardly felt like one.

"We didn't play the style of football that we like to play in the second half," coach Mike Tomlin said.

The Steelers (4-2) managed only 70 yards in the second half and let the youthful Jaguars (1-5) hang around until the final play.

Not exactly the confidence builder Pittsburgh was looking for heading into the meat of its schedule following a four-game tour through the AFC South. Making matters worse, the team removed All-Pro safety Troy Polamalu from the game in the fourth quarter after experiencing what Tomlin called "concussion-like symptoms."

Another mixed bag from the Steelers, who struggled to put consecutive solid performances together.

"We just have to be consistent," wide receiver Hines Ward said. "We are not doing it on a consistent level yet. But we're getting there."

So perhaps is Jacksonville, even if the team's five-game losing streak matches the franchise's longest in a decade.

Maurice Jones-Drew rushed for 96 yards and a day after celebrating his 22nd birthday, rookie quarterback Blaine Gabbert shook off five sacks to complete 12 of 26 passes for 109 yards and a touchdown. He put the Jaguars in a position to win it with a last-second heave that sailed harmlessly to the back of the end zone.

"We had chances to score," Gabbert said. "We've got to come out with more energy in the first half and play the game, start off the game, like we did in the second half, having that sense of urgency."

Instead it was the Steelers who had the urgency early, racing to a 17-0 lead behind running back Rashard Mendenhall, who sat out last week's 38-17 romp against Tennessee with a balky hamstring.

Reserves Jonathan Dwyer and Issac Redman played so well in Mendenhall's absence, Tomlin said he would likely split carries this week. Mendenhall, however, reminded Tomlin why he has topped 1,000 yards each of the past two seasons, rolling up 146 yards and a touchdown while running with a purpose.

Criticized for dancing too much at times, Mendenhall ripped off a career-best 68-yard run in the second quarter, part of an dominant half in which Pittsburgh outgained the Jaguars 315-68.

"We felt like we could have had a very explosive, productive day offensively, running and throwing the ball," quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said. "It's frustrating it didn't finish up that way."

Roethlisberger threw for 200 yards and a touchdown, but completed just one pass in the second half while getting sacked three times.

"[We] just played sloppy at first and then we made up our minds, settled down and stopped them," Jacksonville defensive end Jeremy Mincey said.

The Jaguars had a little help from the Steelers.

A roughing-the-punter penalty on Jacksonville's first drive of the second half gave the Jaguars a first down they eventually turned into an 18-yard touchdown from Gabbert to Jason Hill to bring them within 17-10.

The holes Mendenhall ran through so easily in the first half disappeared, and the Jaguars kept on coming. They drove to the Pittsburgh 27 with just over four minutes to play.

Gabbert remained on the field on fourth-and-6 before coach Jack Del Rio reconsidered and sent on kicker Josh Scobee, who drilled a 45-yarder to cut the deficit to four.

"We went out for the look to take our shot there [and] didn't like the play," Del Rio said. "Blaine did a good job of not forcing it."

Roethlisberger, playing with a special protective shoe on his sprained left foot for a second successive game, scrambled for a first down,but the Steelers couldn't run out the clock.

Jacksonville got the ball back at its 23 with 1:01 to play and Gabbert showcased why the Jaguars took him with the 10th pick in this year's draft. He shook off a first-down sack to move Jacksonville, which came in last in the league in total yards and yards passing and 31st in points, to the Pittsburgh 48 with 2 seconds to go.

His desperation pass fell harmlessly to the turf and the Steelers escaped.

"If you get out to a 17-point lead and get comfortable, you take it off their throat," Pittsburgh wide receiver Mike Wallace said. "We have to keep the same intensity the whole game. We started out with a lot of intensity and then we fell off a little bit."

The Steelers travel to Arizona next week before a critical two-game homestand against New England and Baltimore.

"The big challenges lie ahead," Tomlin said. "We need to prepare for them."

Yeah that sucked but wasn't the reason for the loss.

That was a shocker, Joe.  Tampa gets their tail whooped 48-3 by the 49ers then turns around and beats the Saints?

Turnovers will kill you every time.

Patriots beating the Cowboys....... Priceless.

As we saw today the 9ers have a pretty solid team. They looked real good today beating the Lions didn't they?

They sure did bud..glad to have them in Team Bash.

Though the story right now is the altercation between their coaches.  I posted the video on NGS.

I think one of them had the chip knocked off of his shoulder. And the other just rubbed his nose in it.

5 Weeks.....5 weeks in a row.  The frikkin Colts either had a lead in the 4th quarter or were on a drive to go ahead or tie in the 4th and find a way to pizz it away.  Say iy with me...bring back the lockout, bring back the lockout, bring back the lockout.  lol

That was playground footage there.



The racing world lost one of the true good guys yesterday in a horrific crash at Las Vegas.  R.I.P. Dan Weldon

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — New Orleans coach Sean Payton tore the MCL and fractured the tibia in his left leg following a collision on the sideline of the Saints game with Tampa Bay Sunday.

Payton fell to the ground and got his leg caught underneath Saints tight end Jimmy Graham when he was tackled by a Bucs defender early in the first quarter.

Payton stayed down while receiving medical attention before being helped to the bench.

He remained there with his leg propped on the bench, but kept on his headset.

The Saints players alternated clearing out their two sideline benches between

Good win for the Buccs yesterday. With the 3 picks thrown the last one was the worst. Congrats on your Bears winning last night T-Girl. Cutler and the rest of the group looked pretty good.

Ok the eagles won a game and they are 2-4 and showed that Grossman is possibly not the answer in Washington, but did the redskins shoot themselves in the tookis(butt) and foot or did the defense and offense come together.  Bye week practice, practice, practice and then kick some Cowboy tookis back to Dallas. After seeing the bears demolish destroy and totally demantle the Vikings can the birds put together a plan to win that game they did it last year and the year before but this is a totally different bears team. 

Ed chill brother, lol The Eagles will be fine. Just getting out of the gate slow. I believe they will be there come playoff time.

Congrats on your Bears winning last night T-Girl. Cutler and the rest of the group looked pretty good

Thanks Joe, Bears and Cutler looked really good.
As for my Panthers, defense sucks really bad.
And Joe, love your avi, looks like you might be wearing it for a while. Sorry

 

Congrats on your Bears winning last night T-Girl. Cutler and the rest of the group looked pretty good

Yeah Cutler stayed off the turf a good part of the night.  You know Cindy, with respecs to the Chicago O-line, the Bears are the Pope's favorite team.  They don't use protection.  LOL



You had some good picks in the pickems this week Sport, nice job.  Looks like your Saints will get what they need next week, a nice easy bounce back game against a struggling team.
