OT: All-Purpose Sports Thread II (NFL, MLB, NCAA, etc.)

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

My new nickname for Trent Richardson is "Pooper Scooper", because every time the Colts give him the ball, all he does is pick up ****.

Lmfao, his first step is really lacking. Which was arguably one of his best traits. You can tell he is amazing at breaking tackles and I think ones he gets that fixed and pickes up to secondary level he will get multiple long rushing touchdowns. Just lethal at breaking tackles.

What's interesting to see is that Donald Brown is playing phenomenal football right now. It appears as though he is a late bloomer. I wonder how long it will be until Brown gets majority of the touches if he continues to produce big on the little opportunity he gets.

Btw, anyone see wtf going on with the Colts? They play a quarter like the worst team in sports but then in the 2nd half they play SuperBowl quality football and play unbelievable, dominant display on both sides of the ball.

I don't care baby! 7-3!

Vanier Cup match up is set for next week. Two blowouts in today's semi-finals.

Laval beat Mount Allison 48-21.
Calgary beat Western 44-3.

Laval are making their 4th straight Vanier Cup appearance. Easy game when you're a semi-professional team playing university ball lol. They've won two of the last three championships.

Calgary lost in the Vanier Cup in both 2009 and 2010. Looking for their first win since 1995.

[mianjo]

Fritsch has completed his 4 th round with a 2 over 73 to finish the tournament 3 over currently tied for 25th out of 60. Hearn is even par after 14 holes and one under for the tournament tied for 9th.
As a team they are in 5th spot out of 26 teams.

 

[mianjo]

Team Canada finished a very respectful 5th, ahead of golfing countries like England,Scotland, South Africa etc. Hearn was tied for 8th overall and Fritsch tied for 35th.

Fritsch has withdrawn from the Australian Open to go see a back specialist

On side note, I've withdrawn from the AUS Open next week. Off to see a specialist to make sure I'll be playing next year.

So thats it Fritsch is finished for 2013, hopefully he can sort his back out and be ready to resume play in Hawaii in January.

Please tell me some of you football fans watched The Iron Bowl last night.

For those that missed it, let's set the scene. #1 Alabama, winners of the three of the last four national titles. 11-0. #4 Auburn, winner of the 2010 national championship. 10-1.

Tied 21-21 early in the fourth quarter. Alabama is pinned inside their 1-yard line after a ridiculous punt. They missed their chance at taking a lead a few minutes earlier on a missed field goal. NBD...



4 minutes left, still tied. Cade Foster, the Alabama kicker, lines up for a 44-yarder. BLOCKED! Kickers gonna kicker. Auburn gets the ball at their 35. Drive for the game tying touchdown...

Alabama gets the ball, 32 seconds left. Overtime is coming... Ball is run out of bounds with zeros on the clock. Alabama coach Nick Saban argues their should be one second left. One second put back on the clock, Alabama tries a 57-yard field goal with their backup kicker....

Wrong Thread...

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

I don't follow basketball. Can anyone explain to me why the Raptors just made the deal they did. Seems like money to an outsider who knows nothing of the players in the deal besides Gay.

And there goes the Pats season, carted off the field in pain.

Man, I'd instantly trade this win for a healthy Gronk... Such crappy luck with injuries this year...

Roy Halladay is a classy dude. Sad to see him retire. If you want to see what a classy franchise player leaving the only team he's ever played for looks like, Halladay's the guy. Took out a full page ad in the newspaper thanking Toronto. Let the team trade him (out of the AL) in order to receive assets back. And today he's announced he's signing a one day contract so he can retire a Blue Jay.

Also didn't say stupid **** like "they have a better chance to win a title", or "I'm not worried about my legacy in Toronto"
