Originally posted by timpiper Im a day late on this but im happy for andy murray-finally winning a slam title after four previous finals losses-britain must be proud to have their first slam champion since 1936

I didnt think he could pull it out after losing the 3rd and 4th set so badly, but he did it. Its crazy how he is 4th in the world and its his first slam championahip.

Pacquiao/Marquez IV. I think its possible for Pacquiao to lose two in a row (with controversy). Marquez was always a good match up for Pacquiao. Not sure if its finalized, but it supposed to go down 12/8.

Both fields had some of the best players missing so this might have helped his efforts. Even saying that you can't take away the way he beat Djokavic the match was amazing!

Originally posted by sdip12 Everyone! The NFL refs are back! they finally came to an agreement on the contracts and they will be officiating the game tonight! I think the NFL thought they could get away week by week with the replacements refs but once the Monday night football incident with the packers and sea hawks happened i think they said that's it we need the real refs back. And now there back! cant wait to watch the game tonight with some real officials.

It's kind of unfortunate that the official officials    are coming back during the game tonight... the Browns could really use some bad calls to win a game.

^^^ we were actually loving the replacement officials, they didn't know the deal (i.e., that any forward progress by the Browns should be negated by some type of phantom penalty)

Speaking of basketball-im ready for the NBA to start

Originally posted by tk177 Originally posted by solocreep 3 words I never expected to hear: Bikini Basketball League. F yeah! They actually have that?!I love watching the Lingerie Football League

There was an article on yahoo. If I remember correctly, they're having try outs and games are gonna start summer 2013.

That's awesome! I thought lingerie football was awesome! Bikini basketball is gonna be sweet.

When do the tryouts for this bikini basketball start?! i hope there as attractive as the girls in lingerie football

Lingerie Football? Bikini Basketball? Can't believe that actually exists? I think I may have found something to keep my busy for the winter season.

Voted for ya mate, it's pretty tight hopefully a few more help you out

Surely lakers will be the favs to take out the championship???

Thats my thoughts exactly, all their stars are big scorers but have little presence in the paint

Yankees win first game!!! WHOOOOOOOO... anyone?

NO. No one. Yuck the Fankees.

Think NFL players are overpaid?

It's kinda hard to say they don't 'buy' titles when year in and year out they have the biggest payroll in the MLB. Their total payroll for 2012 is almost $198 million the next closest is a little over $174.5 million.

Originally posted by highway12south Think NFL players are overpaid?

See it totally agree with rostarider. Im not deny they "buy" the top players... but if they can... why not. The point is to win and if they have attracted a huge fan base for winning, they will have the money to continue to. The envy thing is what is ridiculous. People get pissed purely cause they arent winning like the yankees.

Originally posted by shing02   the difference is what a team can do with LESS eg. oakland A's coming in to post season were only 1 win short of the yankees and having the best record in the AL.  in this case, the yankees are overrated and everyone on their team is pretty much overpaid...by a lot especially jeter....no way he was worth all that...

Originally posted by timpiper Mj2-clearly you havent seen any baseball in the past decade-the same teams making the playoffs has not been an issue in baseball-we've had teams like the dbacks and angels win the world series-we've seen small market teams like oakland and tampa bay get good-weve seen the return of the orioles-in essence, theres only a small habdful of teams that havent had at least a taste of winning in recent years

Nice post, Tim :). The MLB actually falls right in the middle of the "variety" spectrum, atleast over the last 3 years.

That's 14 teams who have made the playoffs (Limited to 10 teams/year in 2012, 8 in 1995-2011) in the last 3 years; 2 teams who have made the playoffs each of the last three playoffs (none of whom have been their division champs all three), 7 teams who have made it 2 out of the 3, and 5 teams who have made it 1 year of the three. Dividing teams seen by spots available, this gives a ratio of 1.615 new teams per spot over the last 3 seasons.

Byn the NFL's 12-team playoffs, in the last 3 years, 22 different teams have made the playoffs; 4 teams have made it all 4 years (NE won their division each of those 3), 6 have made it 2 of the 3, and 12 have made it in one year (4 from the AFC, 8 from the NFC). Sounds like the NFC can make the argument of parity, but the AFC is pretty much decided. Either way, dividing teams seen by spots available produces a very respectable ratio of 1.833.

Lastly, in the NBA's 16-team playoff system, only 22 teams have seen the playoffs in the last 3 years; 10 teams have made it each of the last 3, 6 teams have made it 2/3, and 6 have made it once. dividing teams seen by spots available renders a paltry 1.375, by far the worst of the group.

Can i get like 900 points for posting this shit? it took a lot of work :\ lol
