Be right over to check out your work, Al.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Bama’s number one atop the BCS. I’d like to see where Iowa and Cincy are ranked.

So the Bucs now are even lower under the salary cap than they were before?

I understand they weren’t happy with Adams but that’s all they got?

Work in progress is what I keep telling myself.

So Gaines Adams is now a Chicago Bears player ? All that for a second round draft pick ? What they couldn’t have traded him for a couple of bottle caps or some ring pulls off some Coke cans – or was that too steep a price to pay ?

LOL,LOL ,LOL !!!

Chris It'd really surprise me if the Gators are still atop of the BCS poll when it's announced. Even though they won , it was a messy victory and if anything it could count against them.

Al…

I was so emotionally drained after watching the Gators play, I could barely focus on anything else. Or maybe it was the vodka.

I watched ‘Bama ultimately handle South Carolina but couldn’t switch over to baseball mode.

Maybe your boy Krukkie was right about A-Rod after all.

Chris The Gators squeaked out of that one by the skin of their teeth. I'd be surprised if they're still ranked #1 when the BCS poll comes out. Dropped this on the ALCS game between the Yanks and Angels from Friday night. The Angels after last night's loss have themselves with an uphill task. That Izturis mistake was a costly one and it's going to come back and bite them in the as_ ! Meltdown In NYC ..... Alan Parkins

Chris I can guarantee you this if there's a market there and there's money to be made then the NFL will enter it , by hook or by crook. If the product there is a winning one to begin with then people will come. I mean what have they actually got in that market other than the pitiful Raiders ? It's USC and if they could make an NFL franchise at the drop of a hat then I guess they would but they can't. In all certainty the league will try and relocate a franchise there . Rather than putting out to tender a whole new entity to begin with. Dropped this on game 1 of the ALCS between the Yankees and Angels. Meltdown In NYC ......... Could things have gotten any worse for the Phillies ? So many errors made in game two , that it in essence cost them the game. Alan Parkins

All I’m saying, Al, is that they’ve had NFL teams in the past and haven’t been able to support them.

I don’t think the NFL would move a team there, even though it may want to, unless there are guaranteed ticket sales for several years up front.

Chris

There’s money to be made in the greater LA market . And without an NFL franchise there the NFL can ill afford to be losing that type of revenue to the likes of the NBA and MLS.

Los Angeles is the second largest as market in the US behind NY City. The state of California alone accounts of 26.5 % of the country’s GDP. So you’re still of the belief that it can’t sustain an NFL franchise. They can if it’s a winning product from the get-go. And it’s the immediacy of that which they seek . Not a start up franchise or some mediocre team such as Jacksonville. They will want a proven winner. It’s not rocket science just simple vanity on their part that’s all.

Ultimately it will happen by hook or crook . As well know what the NFL wants it usually gets in the end. It’s just the way that they do business .

Dropped this weekend College NFL piece.
