are fucking retarded.
They always say "Oh, the champion/division winner/confrence winner is the team to beat." But they'll only say that if they have no fucking clue who is really going to win the division/confrence. :dunce: But instead, if some shitty team like the Cowboys get's way overhyped, then the division winner is going to get picked last for the next year and somehow go 6-10. :dunce:
http://www.usatoday.com/sports/football/nfl/2006-06-22-notes_x.htm\
3 magazines pick the cowgirls, 1 picks the eagles, and one picked the foreskins. Come the fuck on. Pro Football Weekly actually has the Giants going 6-10, and Sporting news has us 8-8. Obviously the Giants are going to drop from 10-6, winning the division, to 6-10, and going dead last in the division. :dunce: Strength of schedule? I'm pretty sure we fucking showed that we could beat good teams when we beat the Redskins, (fucking destroyed them 36-0), Broncos, dallas, we fucking scored 42 points on Arizona who had the 8th best defense in the league, we should've beaten the Seahawks(fieldgoal problem, but still we did show that we were a good team), and we totally outplayed the Vikings except for on 3 key plays. And obviously, we MUST suck. :dunce: Especially since we improved our secondary greatly and got Lavar Arrington to solidify a solid LB corp, if they don't get injured. :dunce: Oh, and did I mention that we didn't lose a single person on offense? :dunce: Come the fuck on. Our offense only got better with Eli developing and getting Sinorice to help spread the defense.:dunce:
All in all, sportswriters have no idea what the hell they're talking about, ever.:dunce:

It's the same with Betting guru's. Those people that say what is the 'best' bet for the day and that. They get like 1 out of 7 right, then they brag that they got that one, even though the punters have lost all their money on the other 6 losing pieces of shit.

If you REALLY want bad predictions, then I strongly recommend you read Dr.Z's forecast in Sports Illustrated. My dog could do a better job picking winners. In fact, all of SI is horrible at picking everything period.

You also lost to Dallas and lost to Washington. And you'll soon find out after year after year the more Plaxico will want to leave, the playoffs was just a start, it'll progress, trust us, he's one of the most selfish players in the NFL, and it will happen, damn near almost worse than TO. Also, haha, dont depend on Lavar, has injury AND attitude problems, both bad things to have with a player.
I'm not downing your team though, it's just you're getting pissed at practically nothing, did you happen to look at the Giants schedule? They have it rough this year, nothing like last season. The game against Arizona was the first game of the year, first game of the year doesnt show you the outcome of the rest of the season.
But again, I'm not trying to diss your team. I think the Giants are equally as good as the Eagles and Redskins, and it'll be a dog fight between those 3 times, any of those teams can win that division, it'll go down to the wire. Just calm down dude.

I saw an interesting study on a Cowboys forum that showed how close they were to making the playoffs. Basically, the Cowboys were screwed over by horriible kicking all season and lost several games because of easy missed field goals. So this guy took Vanderjagt's career percentages from various distances and used a random number generator to simulate what would have happened game by game with him as the kicker instead (assuming of course that Parcells made the same decisions about when to kick). Under those conditions the Cowboys would have been 13-3.
You can't imagine how painful it was to miss the playoffs because Cortez couldn't hit 30 yard field goals. So even without looking at the other improvements, just assing Vanderjagt could be enough to make the Cowboys the favorites.

Yeah, but then you got totally lucky plays all through the season also. Against the Giants at home Brandon Jacobs fumbles the ball on the 1-yard-line. The shitty niners totally broke down in the last quarter. Antonio Gates wasn't in the cowgirls vs. chargers game. At the eagels game at philadelphia, I'm not going to take away the Roy Williams interception return, but at the end of the game Mike McMahon threw a perftect pass to Reggie Brown (i think it was him) that he fucking dropped that would've gave the eagles an easy FG. Kansas fucked up a milion times in their game and then missed a 40 yard field goal. And then Steve Smith got ejected from the Cowboys game also.
Don't blame anything on your kickers when your whole season rode on luck.

Basketball analysts are no better, they always go for the safe picks that the whole world would agree on instead of going out on a limb, for example, the Spurs and the Pistons were last year's finalist, who did most NBA analysts pick for the finals this year?... *SHOCK* The Spurs and the Pistons! Neither of them made it, way to go guys.

Considering this is a thread of bashing sportswriters, I figured it to be logical to mention this because it is someone famous who is doing the bashing. Now, do you want to be a huge douche and start shit again only to have everyone in the whole forum turn against you, much like this thread http://www.forum.ebaumsworld.com/showthread.php?t=143371 ?

Oh lord, please dont let that happen again, I've lost countless hours of sleep over 4 people on the ebaumsworld message board (yourself included) call me dirty names...please dont make me feel unwanted again from your witty trash talking :(
Whoa, logical, thats a new word for you, here I thought the only words you knew were "dont start the circle jerk without me 'bois'" or "dont forget your reach around"...I'll take shots anytime I want, especially at a little piss ant like yourself..then again, you're all about taking shots, maybe thats not such a good idea.

Aw thats clever, dont have your "friends" backing you up, because unlike the last situation, where everyone took cheap shots at Roethlisberger out of envy and his success and all you little boys were "ganging up", no one gives a shit about you now. Smoothe.

Ass handed to me? I suppose you're talking about the Roethlisberger topic, I wouldnt consider comments such as "quit whining", "take a joke", and "aw poor baby" ass handing.
I'm always a sarcastic, arrogant, obnoxious asshole, I dont know where you're getting at.

Thats owning? Saying you predicted a fighter beating another fighter and I had it the other way around? Whoa jesus, I mean, thats clear ownage man, thank you for bringing that up and just embaressing me in front of the rest of the fellow ebaumsworlders..man delete that thread dude. Your definition of owning I think is different from 99% of intelligent people.
But whatever man, this conversation has already esculated enough to the point where you're becoming worthless, and way off topic of the original thread so..
My prediction..
Eagles
Redskins
Giants
Cowboys
However the first 3 can go any way, period.

The fact that you didnt know what the hell you were talking about while claiming you did is reason enough. The extent of your MMA knowledge starts and ends with the Ultimate Fighter seasons...and you come here argueing with me about it. And the only fight you picked right, was the extremely obvious one, which everyone in the world picked. You probably didnt even know who Kit Cope was when I mentioned that Florian beat him:dunce: You probably dont even know what Pride is...

Haha, I didnt know what I was talking about. I'm sorry I cant predict the future so I know which fighter is going to win.
The Ed Herman/Kendall Grove fight was dead even, any of the fighters could have won it, dont act as if I dont know what I'm talking about because I picked ED FUCKING HERMAN to win.
Hey, jackass, I'm the one that mentioned Kit Cope when I mentioned Kenny Florian beat him, look at the thread again.
Dont try to call me someone new to MMA because I got 1/3 picks right for the Finale when I picked Herman over Grove and Stout over Florian. Sam Stout is an impressive young fighter, and again, Herman probably should have won his fight, or gone to a 4th round. So your great theory is that if you say something and it backfires from the fight, you know jackshit..okay, now GOING ON YOUR THEORY, I'll quote you here "Kendall takes it...hes just too big, and Ed didnt impress me much with his ground skills." Eds ground game was excellent escaping submissions and laying a vicious ground and pound on Kendall, you were wrong, but am I making judgments saying YOU DONT KNOW WHAT THE FUCK YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT? No, but you're still a jackass. Your theory is that if you dont pick the correct fighter, you have no idea what you're talking about, thats some theory, more like dipshit theory, but nothing is new with you.
You are an idiot, I mean, just when I think you could be intelligent, your arguing skills are horrible, theres a hole in damn near every single one of your arguments, and in most of your comments you label instead of go by factual facts.."you probably this" "you probably that"...you're probably straight, see, I can come up with bullshit too. If that Ultimate Fighter thread is all you have to go by then just fuck off because you obviously cant win it, like you normally dont.
I just think it's funny you decided to come in here and argue with me when I mentioned bigmac admitted he LOVED you...gotta defend your boy right? Not as if you're defending him anyway, always acting like the flabbering cuntstick you are... I'm done with you kid.

LOL..OK look at this...taken from the Ultimate Fighter thread.
I'm not talking about him, Alex from Season 1 was who I was talking about with the striking. Cope is a below average fighter.
Hmmm...owned i believe is the word.

Kinda all over the place arent cha? Stout is "impressive" because of his striking ability...wow...cool, another kickboxer getting some quick KOs and getting hyped out of this world. Theres a new one every week. Then they get their ass choked out. Stout got fucking dominated by a much better fighter, now he gets to go back to being on the undercard:wave: And lets see Herman...last I checked there were 3 judges...and all of them gave Kendall the fight, thats good enough reason for me to say that he should have won.
So your great theory is that if you say something and it backfires from the fight, you know jackshit..okay, now GOING ON YOUR THEORY, I'll quote you here "Kendall takes it...hes just too big, and Ed didnt impress me much with his ground skills."
Which is exactly what happened...Ed couldnt handle Kendalls length, especially his very long legs.
Eds ground game was excellent escaping submissions and laying a vicious ground and pound on Kendall, you were wrong, but am I making judgments saying YOU DONT KNOW WHAT THE FUCK YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT? No, but you're still a jackass. Your theory is that if you dont pick the correct fighter, you have no idea what you're talking about, thats some theory, more like dipshit theory, but nothing is new with you.
I didnt see Ed do anything amazing. Yea the guy has skill but so do a lot of UFC guys. I wish him the best but he still has a very long way to go. Im not overly impress with his GnP on a fighter of a similar skill level...wait til he fights more seasoned octagon vets before you say hes "excellent". Im not saying that you have no idea what your talking about if you dont pick the correct fighter...Im saying that Atreyu doesnt know what hes talking about, exclamation point!
You are an idiot, I mean, just when I think you could be intelligent, your arguing skills are horrible, theres a hole in damn near every single one of your arguments, and in most of your comments you label instead of go by factual facts.."you probably this" "you probably that"...you're probably straight, see, I can come up with bullshit too.

I agree that most sportswriters suck, but you just hate the cowboys, as with atreyu and millions of other people. Keep saying they only win with luck, doesnt matter. Like bobtheflob said, with vanderjagt we would've went 13-3, and we have a ok line now so we will be able to run good and we improved our defensive backs and linebackers and if TO doesnt screw us up we will have no problem destroying the giants and eagles, redskins ill worry about.
