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

[the beat]

I actually refuse to support a team with that name.

Last week I would have told you there is no way the naming of a team could have done this. Last week I would have also told you that a name like "Red Blacks" would even be considered.

It's better than Rush IMO.

It's better than Rush IMO.

And Carpenter Ants are better than Termites, but at the end of the day, you would utterly destroy every living member of either choice if they were to infest your home.

That's how I feel about Rush vs. Red Blacks.

Brad Fritsch playing well in his 2nd PGA tournament he is currently 5 under in the 2nd round after a 3 under par in the first round. Brad is currently tied for 28th.

 

[mianjo]

Fritsch finishes with a 7 under 65, for a total of 10 under, and currently tied for 17th, 4 shots behind the leader.

Anyone else follow the NFL? Pretty pumped...super happy that my Falcs finally won a playoff game and more excited to see what they can do against the 49ers.

If Atlanta can't win I hope that Brady does it.

Have you even read this thread? Falcons did everything they could to give up that game except actually give it away. I'm happy they won, and LOVE Matty Ice's game... but I'm not sold that they can top the Niners.

Do you really think I read through the entire thread? I figured I would get some answers if there were NFL fans.

Yeah...I went through a very broad range of emotions in that game. From smug (because I had a bet on it) to worried, to furious, to elated. It was a roller coaster. They did a lot to throw that game away, but Ryan came through in the clutch along with big Tony G and hopefully it got a monkey off their back.

Don't forget that Seattle ran roughshod over the 49ers not too long ago, and so did the Giants. The Falcons have the tools to beat them they just have to play well. I'm not optimistic about it though -- the 49ers looked incredible against Green Bay.

Fritsch off to a terrible start double bogey on the first hole now 8 under, currently 7 under is the cutoff.

 

[mianjo]

But he fights back with birdies on his next 2 holes to be even for the round after 3 holes.

 

[Very Stable Genius]

Come on niners!!! Only team I support which has a legit chance at a championship now.

Brad Fritsch finishes first three rounds at -11, making the cut but only T51. Cut line was -9 lol.

Even Mike Weir made the cut!

Earl Weaver and Stan Musial both passed away today. Very sad day for baseball.

[YNWA14]

Lame. How come Atlanta had epic collapses in two consecutive games. 17 - 0 and still lose. Damnit.

Oh well, there's always next year. Hopefully they can go into the playoffs healthy this time.
