Shanoff's WUC: NFL Week 4, CFB Duds, 2016

Devine for heisman.  Sure, why not to this writer.  However, doubtful.  If Pat White, one of the greatest, did not win it, moreso not even get invitied to NY, then Devine is a long shot at best. It would take a major shift in Media coverage and WVU to go stupid and win the rest of it games. Plus Devine put up numbers that the country could not ignore for him to win. 

Right now in all of the media outlits, unless you are sam bradford, Colt McCoy, or Tim Tebow, you are not going to get any "play", and this isnt just for devine alone, ask the Pikes, T. Best of college football who are all craving for the coverage. Not saying Tebow, McCoy, and Bradford are not deserving.  For this guy, the heisman had already been decided between three.  Maybe next year, assuming if he stays.

Noel Devine is a hell of a football player.

I’m not watching the MLB Playoffs at all.  Same big market teams every year with the occasional mid-market upstart.  MLB – get a salary cap before fans in cities that have no chance to compete with the Yankees and Red Sox in spending stop paying attention to your sport.

the yankees may have more money, but they also have a farm system that is one of the best in the league, and that is scouting and grooming ability of the team, not about money.  A majority of their team is home-grown…and the red sox do a good job too…youre just a one-minded fool who likes to follow a dumb crowd that is stuck on thinking that those teams are only good because they have big bucks…youre an idiot

You don’t think having more money to pay for more/better scouts (particularly foreign scouts) doesn’t help the bigger-market teams acquire better players? Or the ability to pay drafted players more money than other teams?

no because even if you pay big bucks for big name scouts doesnt mean theyre good either. the skins are a good example of a team with big bucks and pay big bucks to those in charge of scouting and getting personnel, but they suck.  So the yankees just make good decisions all around. 

and what they pay the draft picks doesnt really matter because they have exclusive rights to those players they draft, and all teams pay their draft picks what they are supposed to get for their draft slot.

rescinding the blount suspension would be a mistake…

the punch alone was worth 4-5 games…

but his actions after the punch…  you know…  when he acted like a thug for 5 minutes …  wanting to attack his own players, other players, fans etc…   that’s why he deserves to be gone for the season.

with the single punch you might consider it an act of impulse…  a really bad split second decision made in anger…  but it was those post-punch actions that sealed the deal for me…  if he gets re-instated…  I WON’T BE WATCHING OREGON PLAY WITH HIM in the backfield…  I promise you that.

 I mean forget about the first few big mistakes rt?  That’s what OSU did with Mo Clarett…  two years later he was pulled over with three automatic weapons….

go ahead…  let him back…  wanna make a bet on how long it is before this kid gets in trouble again?  I’ll take your money.

As a woman and true football fan, I applaud the NFL for their support of breast cancer awareness. I also applaud the readers here for not making any sexist comments. Now if only I didn’t have to choke down the nausea after reading yet another Yankees fan rationalize the responsibility that organization has had in the demise of baseball, life would be great.

buckifreak – I agree with you.

Noel Devine is amazing, I caught the tail end of the game last night. wvscout, you’re right, there would have to be a total media overhaul. There’s too much Tebow love going on, so other players are overshadowed.

so as you say "plus the Gators’ sick D, RBs and special teams — more than enough to win games." is true, than how great is Tebow. Maybe he’s just a good player who is lucky enough to play on great teams. I guess we’ll see how important Tebow is to Florida if they play LSU without him.

killatofu007, let me guess you are a yankee fan. Of course you don’t see a problem with a team spending 200 plus million while other teams can only spend half. The truth is that if a salary cap was put into place, the Yankees would  have to be smart about spending their money and the Yankees would then become a so-so team (just like the Redskins in NFL) and MLB does not want that to happen.

You’ve been saying for a month the NL CY is a lock for Lincecum.  Please explain when Carpenter has more wins and a better ERA and winning percentage, they’re the same on K/BB and WHIP, and Lincecum leads only K/9.  You must think strikeouts are the only thing that matters.  Carpenter’s only real problem might be that he’s campaining for teammate Adam Wainwright.

Devine for Heisman? Why because he ran all over Colorado, look at it this way. There’s bad and then there are the Colorado Buffaloes, check out this week’s NCAA predictions at www.theidealsportsblog.com
