Sports Round Table I

GURU ANT · 06-07-2006, 10:14 AM

This one should stay active.

Okay, so let's begin on a subject I know many of you are, meh, about.

Ricky Williams, world famous potheaded athlete, has joined the Argonauts of hte CFL. He's received much praise from CFL game-goers, and disgust from Theismann (who was shot down by his own franchise later that month). Question for you, what does this move do for Ricky? Does he increase in trade value? Or increase in interest to Miami when he returns for hte 2007 season?

I hate how this whole deal is making the CFL look like a development league for the NFL's weak, poor and drug addicts. It's a shame, I think the CFL can be more exciting at times. CFL needs to step up and tell the NFL to keep it's trash.

GURU ANT · 06-07-2006, 06:35 PM

My whole point of this was not to treat the CFL as a developmental league, but as a chance for Ricky to prove that he can still get it done. There are a couple of teams that wouldn't mind takin a chance on him (Jets, Raiders, teams in desperate need of a RB). Ricky has screwed himself and the Phins over several times.

There have been CFL players that have played in the NFL, they just don't get the attention that Williams, Flutie, etc. received.

I think all it does is make sure he comes back next season fresh and hopefully more disciplined.

Platinum · 06-08-2006, 07:01 AM

I think It will be good for him. Now the CFL I can't comment on because I've never watched it but I bet it's still good.

GURU ANT · 06-08-2006, 04:04 PM

Rules are different, but football is football.

AFL, CFL, NFL, etc.

No, 'soccer' is football :P

Ricky Williams will go up in trade value. This happening once to Ricky Williams is one to many times. The Dolphins should know that there is a chance that this will happen again. They should just get a replacement player for him and trade him off or let him stay in the CFL.

GURU ANT · 06-08-2006, 09:34 PM

They have Ronnie Brown, there's no need for Williams in Miami unless it's for secondary role.

Amen.

But the CFL rules- who the hell needs four downs?

GURU ANT · 06-09-2006, 01:33 PM

Well, before we go into some retarded random bashing of two good leagues, let's move on.

I'm trying to keep from doing two topics of the same sport, so here we go.

Last night, the Mavs beat the Heat in Round 1 of the NBA Finals, pulling off a convincing 90-80 win.

Does this make the Mavs your favorite to win the series? Or are the Heat to rebound?

Mark Prior · 06-09-2006, 01:41 PM

I hate the Heat. I hope the Mavs win. Maybe Mark Cuban will buy Blizzards for the team.

qwerty · 06-09-2006, 02:01 PM

I'm not saying that they can't rebound but atleast for this next game the Mavs know they have to win this game. Because after this they have 3 in Miami. And this motivation for winning will help them win the series.

Mavs in 6

GURU ANT · 06-15-2006, 12:51 PM

Moving On.

Golf. I know, boo. Still, let's cover as many subjects as we can.

Tiger has returned after the death of his father, do you think this is added motivation? For that reason, will he win the tour?
