Hey, Didn't You Used To Be Nebraska?

Needless to say, Nebraska football fans are a teeny bit upset with the way their team has performed this season. Which is understandable when the once vaunted Blackshirt defense gives up 76 points. In one game. To the Kansas Jayhawks. And this wasn't a pick-up basketball game between the KU basketball team and Nebraska defensive players. This was on the football field.

As you might imagine, the fanbase is growing restless and want to see head coach Bill Callahan and defensive coordinator Kevin Cosgrove gone, and quickly. If you read this site on occasion, you know we specialize in seeking out the best and brightest of the internet sports message board sect. Let's see what Nebraska fans have to say, shall we?

- Huskerboard: "The only good thing going for Husker fans this fall is that Dr. Tom Osborne himself is back and deer season, period." - huskerjock

- Huskerpedia: "I'm a brand new member and this is my first post. Can anyone help me out in understanding just what happened?" - Red Five

- Huskerpedia: "The worst part about taking verbal shots from females is that 98% of them truly don't understand football. If you've never played, you really don't get it. It would be like me ripping on them for watching One Life to Live...something I know NOTHING about." - BigRedOhio

- RedOut: "Tom Osborne is a prick!!! for not firing these fuckers RIGHT NOW!

FIre ThiS FUckinG staFf RigHT FUCKING noW!!!

NOW.

NOW you douchebag.

I don't care about your word... FIRE THEM!" - RINGKONG

- Huskerboard: "Screw KC and everything in mizzou, by far the worst place to visit in America, worse than New Orleans after Katrina ripped through!" - jjamuss

- Huskerpedia: "Dear Coach Callahan,

As you have pointed out you are doing excellent in all aspects of your job. Your most recent example of excellence at Kansas provided a Husker record that I am sure will last for years, if not broken by Kansas State or Colorado.

Your level of job perfection may be wasted with us hayseeds here in the heartland. You can only carry a program on your back for so long. I think it is time to spread your wings and spread your wonderfulness elsewhere. Possibly the NFL or Australian rules football.

No need to wait until the end of the season. I say pack your bags now and head out. Most folks who follow Nebraska can't understand your magnificence because it is just so gosh darned complicated. Don't even say good bye. We don't deserve it. Just put Lincoln in your review mirror and keep going. You won't be disappointed!" - Nebraska1

Message Board Marauder

Time for our weekly look at the fascinating musings on sports internet message boards.

Blue And Gold - Notre Dame Football: "I realize that a lot of 'fair weather fans' will be jumping ship. A few of us will remain, but now's the time to really get on board. In 2,3,4,5 years when ND is competing for BCS supremacy season after season, I will not be accepting bandwagon jumpers." - LIShamrock

ESPN.com - MLB General: "Intelligently, the Rockies would be lucky to win a game ... it is sad but the True. Once again, I will be proven right." - giovanni.alexander

ESPN.com - NCAA Football: "Why does LSwho fans try to dis the mighty OSU? They have half a NC in the modern era unlike all the other Champs who won unanimous ones and here they are trying to dog a program who's rich football heritage makes theirs look like a joke. LSU is not an elite school and they have some midget playing RB who spazzes out everytime he runs for 4 yards. They lost to Kentucky (who cares if they're ranked, it's Kentucky) and were undefeated. Get off our nutz lsu fans." - DORSEY_HAS_NO_KNEES

Igglephans - Philadelphia Eagles: "Andy Reid is a Big Fat Idiot. Andy and fuck his players. Maybe he’s done the blind pig shuffle once in a while and come up with an acorn or two, but most of these cocksuckers don’t belong on an NFL field ... What’s left is the league’s premier collection of busts, chumps and jagoffs. A virtual who’s who of camp bodies and other teams castoffs. It’s fucking nauseating. Hit the fucking pike you fat fucking loser." - BirdBrawn

ESPN.com - MLB General: "KIDS IN AFRICA ARE HAPPY, THEY GET FREE HATS SHIRTS JACKETS ALL DONATED BY THE CLEVELAND INDIANS." - wangful

ESPN.com - NFL General: "Now that the Colts have locked up the SB ... who's gonna be the second best team in the NFL?" - KyleBollerCrazyGood7

ClanRam - St. Louis Rams: "Team MVP? P Donnie Jones ... He's a strong candidate for the Rams MVP so far in the first half of this season...." St.LouisRams41

Message Board Marauder

Time for our weekly look at some of the most intelligent and thought-provoking musings on sports internet message boards. Because isn't that where all intelligent sports fans go to discuss things?

ESPN.com - NFL General: "Giants are superbowl bound. Now all the critics can eat their words...........it will be the Giants vs Patriots in superbowl XLII...........last night the Giants toyed around with the Falcons if they really wanted to concentrate it could have been 63-0......." - schumy_1982

Jets Insider: "This team doesn't want to win. They all seem to be more interested in keeping their pal Chad around. If Chad was a prick or just less likable he would have been given the hook. These players need to take the blinders off..they're defending a player that is impossible to defend right now." -Gagoots

ESPN.com - NCAA Football: "Are there any Rational Fans on here?" - osubuck_i_fan

ESPN.com - MLB General: "So F'in lucky its stupid. Byrnes is right, the Rockies are up 3-0 largely because of lucky..." - Phrazbit

Baylor Fans: "Which is more painful: Watching Baylor Football or Penis in a Meat Grinder?" - Yogi

ESPN.com - MLB General: "Not to be cocky, but the Indians dont stand a chance to win this series. Knowledgable baseball fans know this." - giovanni.alexander

We Are SC - USC: "How addicted are you to this Board? Do you log in everyday? Does it delay you from things that need to get done. Has it affected your life in anyway? What was the longest time you have been away from this Board? If this Board were to go away tomorrow would there be a void in your life? I ask this question because my life has suddenly changed and I know that this Board had an affect. Not a big one, but I sit here today and realize that I have ignored the beautiful things in my life and wish that I could turn back the clock." - PROP36

Real Rams Fans: "Do not be so hard on our man Gus Frerotte.....I mean, he did spread out those FIVE picks to FIVE different Ravens DBs eh!!!!Yup....Ivy, Reed, Martin, Edwards and McAllister......that's as good as "dispersion" gets baby!!!! Not only that, but Gus's Garo Ypremian volleyball batting of that "fumble" was caught by Ravens DT Kelly Gregg...........so Gus was really mixing it up out there today........not getting "locked-in" on any ONE Ravens receiver!!!!" - Canuckramsfan

ESPN.com - NFL General: "Peyton the Dome Qb Manning ... Must be nice playing in perfect weather 8-10 times a year. Funny, Brady has went on the road to win 2 AFC title games. What has Peyton done on the road in the playoffs? 5 TD's 9 INTs and his offense has put up 16, 17, 0, 38, 14, 3, and 15 points to go 2-4 in those 6 games. Funny how Peyton the Great isn't so great when the weather isn't perfect." - beannation

It's time for our weekly look at the latest intellectual debates taking place on sports message boards.

ChargersTalk: "The Official Sympathy for Norv Turner and the Chargers Thread. Guys, lets cut this guy some slack please. Give him another chance. Afterall, it takes more than a head coach to lose a game ... Lets hang in there and stop calling for our GM's head too because, he really try to do the best he could given the situation ... I wouldnt mind Norv pulling a motivational stunt and actually flying Marty in to give the players a speech. Hang in there guys, we still have a long way to go. Go BOLTS!" - benjamink15

ESPN.com - MLB General: "Everybody knows the Cubs were the best team in 2003. If not for that idiot Steve Bartman we would have made the World Series and easily won it all." - Cubs2003WS_Champs

Philafans.com: “Fire Andy Reid! His act and excuses are getting very tiresome.

Reid had his chance and the window is closed.

After this year a new coach can begin a new era with a new QB!”
- PhilliesFan18

DaBearz.com: “Dear Ron Turner,
I am writing you in response to your HORRIFIC playcalling. Please keep in mind while reading this letter that 1) I'm a girl, and 2) you're supposed to be a professional...so that you get a full understanding of how much YOU SUCK ...Can i please now inform you that i am pregnant, so i'm going ot have to ask you to break into either the Colts or the Cowboys locker rooms and read a REAL play book, because the stress you are causing me is not healthy for my 1st trimester.Hey, could you maybe possibly talk to your receivers and remind them they're supposed to CATCH the ball. Catch, receive...ya know/
Please don't make me hunt you down and find you.
GET IT TOGETHER

Vicki

P.S. I do believe i hate you more as the seconds of your useless career as an NFL offensive coordinator dwindle down with the rest of the Chicago bears talent.” - wHiTeY

ESPN.com - MLB General: "BASEBALL SHOULD MAKE ROCKIES GAME BE REPLAYED. THE ROCKIES JUST CHEATED THEIR WAY TO A VICTORY BY FIRST NUMBER 1 STEALING HOFFMAN SIGNES IN THE DUGOUT ... TWO THEY PAID THE UMP TO BLOW THAT CALL AT THE PLATEON HOLLIDAY I WILL WRITE 200 MILLION LETTERS TO GET THIS GAME REPLAYED AND BY GOD AS MY SAVIOR I WILL WIN BECAUSE I AM A TRUE BASEBALL FAN AND LIKE TO SEE THE GAME END THE WAY IT SHOULD BE END." - michrules08

JetsInsider.com: “Jets Record (Predictions now?) With the current line-up? Coached as is? 1-15.” - 32green

49ers.com: “Sabotage!!! I think there are 2 players deliberately sabotaging the 2007 for the 49ers. The first one is obvious and for obvious reasons, Justin Smiley ... this is from a guy who knows he won't be playing for us next year or ever again ... I mean think about it, you're at your job and you know you'll only be working there 5 more months ... do you work really hard for your current job??? You don't and neither does Smiley...and that's the truth ... The other saboteur is none other than the hated Derek Smith ... I would ... bench Smith and put in Moore no matter the consequences, the guy just doesn't give a **** about our team.”
- jayrmontana

ChicagoBears.com: “Benson crying on draft was a huge tell. I remember that moment well, and I thought UH OH...THIS IS NOT GOOD ... all the guys before him were so happy to be picked...and our guy starts CRYING???”- BostonBearFan

CarolinaHuddle.com: “this team has no heart, no identity, no care in the world. That is why people are upset. They are upset because Peppers isn't doing anything, our receivers are dropping passes, Carr sucks, and our defense that used to be top 5 or 10 in the league is now in the bottom 5. That is why. Then the coaches make no changes, no one takes responsibility or tries to make any changes. Fans have a right to be pissed.” - zt001

ESPN.com - MLB General: "ROCKIES WILL WIN THE WORLD SERIES. NOBODY CAN STOP THEM." - Vintage_Thabo

Message Board Marauder

Our weekly look at the happenings on the civilized and controlled world of sports internet message boards.

ESPN.com - Chicago Bears: "This board is nothing more than a few internet tough guys who didn't know what a real football team looked like until THE DALLAS COWBOYS came to "the windy city" last night!! btw, why do they call it the 'windy city' ?? it must be all the blowhards in your rat hole of a town!!!" - symdev

BengalsZone: "They are starting to catch on about the Bungles. They are starting to realize that your team is a fake. There starting to understand that your 11-5 season was a fluke ... They are saying that your team is soft. No heart! So were back to the same thing. The bungles suck! I can't wait to see what felon you draft to help your team next year!!!!

LOL. Enjoy your view from the bottom!" - chopjaw

DawgBones - Cleveland Browns: "Anyone want to join me in a shot of Johnnie Walker Black because this team SUCK so fucking bad. I'm going to do it at 8:15pm Eastern Time. Everyone grab a shot - and we'll drink our sorrows together." - Soup

ChargerTalk: "It wont do much good. Spilled milk is already on the floor BUT you might feel better if you sign this petition. FireNorv.net" - bluehair

DaBearz: "Cut everyone. No passion missed tackles dropped passes fumbles inteceptions. CUT EVERYONE START OVER" - Opie and Anthony

ESPN.com - NFL: "Texans deserve an apology. The texans were laughed at and berated by all the talking heads when they drafted mario williams...

Doesn't look like that was such a bad choice after all now does it.

Reggie bush is easily the most wildly overrated player in the last 5 years. He's Eric metcalf... that's it" - LouOwnsDusty

PurplePride - Minnesota Vikings: "I am at the end of my proverbial rope watching this inept franchise bumble and stumble there way every week, season after miserable season. But despite all this I will continue to be a fan till the day I die, which will be probably 10 years sooner from all the aggravation the purple gang has sent my way.

I am convinced Childress is a douchebag to add onto the pile of crap ... I have resigned myself to accept the fact I am doomed to walk out of the sports bar I go to every Sunday (because I live in Jersey) to watch the hapless Vikes feeling like a idiot with a Adrian Petersen jersey on." - mamaluke

ESPN.com - NCAA Football: "Is Bulluck gay? Did anyone see that post-game on-the-field interview with Keith Bulluck? He sounds really gay...like a butch Pookie with a bandana." - Ihatefairweathers

SaintsReport: "the defense played good....kinda. if you would have told me we would have given up only 24 offensive points with 5 turnovers, less than 300 yds total offense & less than 100 rushing yds... I would have said you were crazy ... Sure we gave up a kind of long touchdown pass & we let them on the next possession after we took the lead run it down our throats to regain the lead....but all in all this defensive performance put us in a position to win." - greenparrot

RealRamsFans: "What this team needs: We need a Priest or a Rabbi or both and throw in a Profit and Exorcist to boot.

Have them bless the whole locker room with a 55 gallon drum of Holy water, each player, the stadium, the players homes, family , clothing.

Another 55 gallon drum for the coaches, their families, homes, cars kids, etc." - gunite

Message Board Marauder


Time for the weekly look around the world of sports internet message boards in our regular edition of Message Board Marauder.

ESPN.com - MLB Board: "ROIDROD: When will people start calling him out? I mean come on meng! This dude is obviously on the JUICE! Media needs to start taking it's job seriously and calling him out." - Koban717

ESPN.com - College Football Board: "Statistics prove it. The Big East is superior to the SEC." - jth1970

ESPN.com - NFL Board: "Raiders sign the Black Jared Lorenzen. Huge waste of money on a huge tub of lard." - JaMarcus_will_Bust

NotreDameFans.com: "DON'T PANIC!! There is much to be optimistic about. When you think about it, the only problem, though admittedly a huge one, is the offensive line. When you think about it, that's the only real serious problem on this team right now." - Bernie P. ND '74

WingedHelmet.com - Michigan Football: "Is Pete Carroll available? I'll take Pete even without his Southern California recruiting advantage. He clearly can outcoach our coaches and out recruit them most of the time." - kurtbri

BigHuskerFan.com - Nebraska Football: "USC is going to come in over confident and won't give this game much respect. If we play mistake free and Keller finds his rhythm I think we can win."
- Hawkeyehusker

ESPN.com - MLB Board: "SOX OWN BASEBALL ... BOW DOWN TO THE ALMIGHTY SOX!" - JERMAINEDYE4MVP

TideSports.com - Alabama Board: "As a student, I attended every home game from 1975 to 1979. Two hours before kickoff, I would watch Coach Bryant walk the team around the field and tip his hat as he passed the student section. This would bring near tears to my eyes, every week, it never subsided. I loved Coach Bryant, what he stood for and what he did for the University of Alabama. It definitely was a special feeling." - CrimsonFJR

DodgerBlues.com: "Dear Ned: Grow a fucking pair and fire Little, in fact, throw him off the plane without a parachute. He's the only reason why this team will not make the playoffs, in fact probably the reason why they don't have the best record in the NL." - Atlas

Message Board Marauder - Michigan Edition


Tuesday's at DOTD mean that it's time to peruse the sports message boards and see what fans are spouting off about. Today, in light of the epic meltdown by Michigan's football team (which we saw, thanks to DirecTV), led by "head coach" Lloyd Carr, we will try and capture the true voice of Wolverines fans. And they're pretty pissed.

(Disclaimer: DOTD has never particularly liked Lloyd Carr. While we respect Michigan, Carr always came across as a grumpy, pompous old bastard. It has always amazed us that he got the players he did when they could probably be playing for someone who A) looked like he enjoyed breathing, and B) didn't have the personality of a Mr. Burns/Grinch evil clone.)

WingedHelmet.com: "F*ck, i think I'm going to get drunk...and F8ck the first drunk slut that will have me...night." - Ufers Spirit

MLive.com: "YOU People - I'm talking, of course, to those of you who will 'look on the bright side,' say 'it's all ok,' contend 'we're still playing for the Big Ten Championship,' or anything even remotely positive.

YOU are the reason this crap happens year in and year out. YOU are the reason Michigan Football has deteriorated to being a laughingstock, even if they win ALL their games the remainder of the season.

Your Liberal, feel good, let's just be happy we have a team, let's not be like those 'evil' Ohio State fans who expect championships attitude has allowed this BS to take place.

There needs to be an uprising to get rid of this coaching staff TODAY and some of the players, too.

If you have the attitude 'I'm stickin' with my guys,' YOU ARE AN IDIOT. The season is OVER.

I have come to hate Michigan Football since that LOSER has been the head coach and I will continue to hate Michigan Football until her leaves.

If anyone has any other attitude about this, he/she is a LOSER.

We suck. Any recruit considering Michigan should change his mind immediately. This program is a black hole and, until there is someone else as the head coach (NOT A 'MICHIGAN MAN'!!!!!!), this will continue." - MFanInATL

MichiganZone (A Michigan blog, not a message board, but these are comments from post-game): "I fucking hate you Lloyd Carr. I am so disappointed in myself, what with allowing my animosity towards you to lull last season. I wish you nothing but ill will.

I cried at Bo's passing; it will not be so for you.

Fuck you Lloyd. Retire, be fired, I don't care. Leave.

P.S.: We made the drudgereport. I hope your wife serves you with divorce papers tomorrow Lloyd. You are an embarrassment." - C

ESPN.com - Appalachian St. Board: "Listen, dont waste your gas money driving to Ann Arbor. The only thing you will see on Saturday in the Big House is Michigan running the score up on your sorry a$$. You guys think you can come to Ann Arbor and challenge us, man thats funny. Stick with what you do best, beat up on the 1-AA teams.

Michigan 49 - AS 14" - Morty222

WingedHelmet.com: "I don't think you can blame in on one specific group. This 2007 team is ful of vaginas, and it starts with the coaches. Ron English talks a lot of shit and tries to act tough, but he has been exposed. HIS defense got smacked around by OSU, USC and now a D-1A school. He is a fraud. Lloyd is...well Lloyd. VERY concerned about his legacy...well, the legacy is sealed. You are the worst National Championship coach in any sport." - annarbor5

UMGoBlue.com: "Bo Schembechler would be ashamed... no not of this team and not of this coaching staff, but of the supposed fans around here who have the audacity to talk about selling their tickets, abandoning their team, and throwing everyone associated with it under the bus. - scmgoblue

WingedHelmet.com: "FWIW, I still think we beat Ohio State. We just may not beat anyone else." - UMBOB1

MichiganZone: "Time to make myself a sundae topped with nails and battery acid! Enjoy your holiday weekend everyone!"
- jonjecz

WingedHelmet.com: "Simple request: Please don't use the term "Lloydball" anymore. It's a misnomer--Lloyd has no balls."
- Captain America

Scout.com: "Do you know what Lenoir-Rhyne is? Appalachian St.'s next opponent." - JimMcG

WingedHelmet.com: "What are message boards for then? so we can all do a type-written Kum-Bay-Yah after every game?"
- BlueCheeseHead

MichiganZone: "I have never been embarrassed to be associated with the Unversity of Michigan... until today. Way to go Coach Carr and the rest of the staff." - jeff

UMGoBlue.com: "hopefully oregon doesn't have a mobile QB.

hopefully michigan won't have to settle for field goals.

hopefully no one in the UM secondary will have to make an open field tackle." - pitt9496

Rivals.com: "Mark it down: On 9/3/07 @ 8:08 PM, the board hit a new low......A guy from UTEP -- I repeat -- The University of Texas at El Paso -- totally attempted to throw down on UM. Lloyd, what have you done to us?............" - NaplesGoBlue

Time for our weekly look at douchebags on fan message boards. With college football season starting, we focus on that this week. No other sport brings out the worst best in people like college pigskin.

ESPN.com - NCAA Football General: "Which players do u think r secretly gay in college football? just wondering what u all think." - danl1985

ESPN.com - NCAA Football General: "BEST TRADISHUN!

12 NCS

ESPN.com - Notre Dame Board: "ND at best will be 6-6 this season and that is because of willingham and the 7 player senior class. The recruiting for Ty was abysmal at the end and because of that the Irish will be lucky to win 6 games in 2007!!!!!!!!!!!!"
- irishglory88

ESPN.com - Oklahoma Sooners Board: "Who r these losers doggin on O.U.? They are just jealous as usual because they live in Oregon or Texico or some other awful place with their team that has no chance. they wish they were in Oklahoma with the winningest team in history." - ProudRedneckSooner

ESPN.com - NCAA Football General: "Why is everyone bashing the big east??? WVU should be the undisputed #1 team in the country and will be at the end of the season. Louisville will be either #2 or 3 depending on how badly WVU beats them." - miss_tomato

'BamaMag: "Auburn fans can claim to be on a level with Alabama all they want, but they're not, and they know they're not in the secret places where you tell yourself the truth." - PARTSMAN103

Scout.com - Ohio State Board: "Chad Henne has been the starting quarterback at Michigan for over three years. Can anyone name the last 3rd or 4th year qb at Michigan that wasn't made a captain. This sure say's a lot of about how much leadership skills his peers and coaching staff thinks he has." - greggleeb

ESPN.com - Alabama Board: "HOW IRRELEVINT IS AUBARN? I SAY VERY. THAY AIN'T GO NO TRADISHUN AND IF YOU AIN'T GAT TRADISHUN THEN YOU AIN'T NOTHIN. AIN'T I RIGHT?

Message Board Marauder VII

It's that time of week ... time to take a look at internet message board douchebaggery. Today, since they are always a trove of entertainment, we will stick with the ESPN.com boards.

- ESPN.com - NFL General: "Michael Vick needs Jesus. I think we should all be willing to forgive Vick, just as Jesus forgave the Jews, who killed him. I don't think anyone would say we should kill all Jews because they crucified Jesus. I think a small Jail Sentence, maybe 3-5 years would suffice for Vick. Above all Vick needs to find Jesus in his life, and get some morals and spirituality. Vick is still young, and there is hope for his life. I hope he gets out of football, finds God, and serves him the rest of his days." - NorthWestPA

- ESPN.com - NFL General: "any black person actually think vick is guilty? or is he being set up by the evil racist white people."
- lertanze14

- ESPN.com - MLB General: "If Barry took steroids why is he still hitting home runs? How many players have as many home runs as Barry and he does not even play everyday. How do you explain that no one else hit as many home runs and there were convictions for steroid use. How do you explain why he is still big and being tested regurally? Steroids are very short term."
- brandblue2

- ESPN.com - MLB General: "Derek jeter has hiv. I feel sorry for all the women who have hiv cuz of him." - barrybondsthegreatestever

- ESPN.com - MLB General: "ROTFLMFAO at Boston. 4 games i've been calling it all year, yankees will win the division despite being 14+ games back. Lol what a joke of a team. long live the yankees."
- GMenSeamen

- ESPN.com - College Football General: "The Oklahoma Sooners, the greatest CFB team in history, (check the record books losers), is again being singled out by the NCAA this year. We got cheated, and I mean CHEATED by the Pac10 and the NCAA last year in Oregon, and now this injustice. Jason White and Adrian Peterson both got robbed of the Heisman a few years ago. OU is the whipping goat of the National Communist Athletic Association."
- ProudRedneckSooner

- ESPN.com - College Football General: "Illinois: CONTENDERS. The ZOOK era has begun! meow!!!" - toonces_the_metrosexual

- ESPN.com - College Football General: "Favorite prison you have attended? One in Istanbul is my favorite." - RogerCraigNU

- ESPN.com - College Football General: "Reggie Bush sucks. 2 carries 8 yards, what a bust. No sarcasm, just an observation. Reggie will be lucky to get 700 yards on the ground this year, and that is in 16 games. What an overhyped ESPN failure."
- moparmanjames

- ESPN.com - College Football General: "Notre Dame will win the National Champsionship. They will go 12-1, 11-1 regular season. Only loss will be to Michigan in a close game. Michigan will go on to lose 2 games as usual, thus allowing ND to make the BCS Championship game. That's right, ND will beat USC in South Bend, and I can't wait to see the look on Pete Carrol's face. It will be a great season for the Irish." - GiantsKnicksYanksIrish

Message Board Marauder VI


Tuesday means examining the week in message boards and all they encompass. Namely, jackasses being jackasses.

ESPN.com - MLB General: "It seems abundantly clear that it isn't going to come out that Barry Bonds used steroids, but if it did I still wouldn't care.

- I don't think steroids give you the edge most posters on this forum seem to believe
- I assume the vast majority of ballplayers, including pitchers, are on steroids anyway
- I assume Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, and other players of that era used steroids." - seib3184

ESPN.com - MLB General: "If Jesus played baseball what number would he wear?" - g_force01

ESPN.com - Kansas City Royals: "It could be worse...The Cardinals and their $100 million payroll are getting waxed for the second day in a row by the Nationals. At least the Royals were playing the Yankees..." - philevans66

Sox Talk - Chicago White Sox: "I want no part of Tejada..The last thing this club needs is another power bat in the lineup."
- SoxFan77

Indians Ink: "I have been saying it all along.... Fire Wedge he is not a good manager." - jason251213

ESPN.com - NFL General: "Hey Seahawk fans ... Did you see Nate Clements' (future tormenter of Matt Hasselbeck) interview? You might have noticed the massive collection of Super Bowl trophies in the background. Shame on you if you didn't look away. You're not allowed to gaze upon the Vince Lombardi Trophy. You're only allowed to dream about them. Maybe if the Seahawks win a couple Super Bowls, I'll remove them from my list of worst teams in sports history. But we all know Seattle will never win the big one. They can bite it though." - F16sAnd49ers

ESPN.com - NFL General: "I'm Posting from Atop my Crapper. Any requests?" - SmoothNicka

Warpath - Washington Redskins: "Training camp gets worse and it has nothing to do with autographs. The whole camp is just run patheticly. Getting a bag with valauble stuff stolen in it last week was bad enough. I got hit in the head with 2 footballs yesterday ... Then getting autographs, some jerk leaves his pen open and I get black marks all over my shorts." - MWCREDSKIN

Roar Report - Detroit Lions: "Hey fellow Lions fans I was just wondering when do you guys think was the last time the Lions had a team this good? Was it a Scott Mitchell team or even further back to Eric Kramer? I cant remember being this excited for a season since Kramer almost went to the super bowl. GO LIONS!!!!" - paraguy1

Royals Corner: "What do the Royals really need? 1. #2-#3 Starter 2. Power Hitting OF or 1B 3. 2B of the Future. Get these 3 good players and we could compete for the division title in 08 and 09"
- RoyalTurnaround

ESPN.com - MLB General: "Ripken: Most overrated player ever. Period." - BillSelfHasNoFinalFours

SFHardball - San Francisco Giants: "I want to see an asterisk next to Ruth, who did not have to hit against the best in the world (or his own country for that matter)...AND had a ballpark built to suit his hitting.

I want an asterisk next to Aaron, who hit in a bandbox...so unfair.

I want Bonds in BOLD b/c he hit in the windy caverns of the Stick AND then the deepest park in the country...with a RF wall 20ft high. If Bonds/Mays had the advantages of Aaron/Ruth, they'd both have over 1,000 HRs." - sdstonesguy

Pinstripes Plus - New York Yankees: "Ultimately, this reply boils down to what my instincts are screaming at me: Torre still needs to be fired. I'm sick of him, and I know that many of you are as well. He was the right guy at the right time to take the club out from Showalter to a championship; but that time is done, folks. Girardi or Bowa. Now. Please." - PlayinWheel

Message Board Marauder IV


Another Tuesday has come, which means it's time to look at the latest round of internet message board douchebaggery!

- ESPN.com (MLB General): "Their is no way that the Dodgers would give up Laroche and Loney for Texeira. Loney might be better than him already." - nickvanexcellent

- ESPN.com (MLB General): "Bonds haters ... Just shut up, you're riduclus rhetoric act and posts are re tarded. I mean, if you can not realize that barry is a VERY special player, and you might not ever see they type of hitter he is again, then i dont consider you real fans...So do everyone a favor who loves the game of baseball and respects and realizes how hard it is to hit a 95 mph fastball..SHUT UP." - ProBaseballAnalyst1

- Orioles Hangout: "Lets just say it now...Erik Bedard is the best Lefty in the game. You can talk about Santana, or Hamels or any other lefty in the game right now...and perhaps they have better stats...but they dont have better stuff." - Roy Firestone

- Sox Talk (Chicago White Sox): "Shouldn't Kenny Williams be able to talk Pitt. out of Jason Bay ? Isn't he getting too expensive for them ? Anybody knkow anything about what's going on with the Pirates ? I'd like the Sox to take advantage of some of these cash poor teams and get a couple of good players.

I think Bay would be great in LF for the Sox." - WHITESOXRANDY

- Dodger Blues: "Why not trade D.J. Houlton, Eric Stults, and Joe Beimel for Johan Santana? Twins will likely lose Santana to free agency. So they trade him to us and get three great young pitchers in return for him.

We are not losing anything." - Westwood Blues

- Phila Phans: "The Mets are the luckiest team in history. just unreal. Teams literally give them games." - GMAN

- Reds Zone: "Would you trade Adam Dunn and Homer Bailey to the Twins for their top 5 prospects???? Perferrably 3 pitchers and 2 position players." - Redmachine2003

- Marlins Baseball: "The Marlins should trade Dontrelle Willis to Boston, it would be an awesome deal:

Deal Option 1:
Redsox: Dontrelle Willis
Marlins: Hansack and Jon Lester

Deal Option 2:
Redsox: Dontrelle Willis, Andino, Scott Olsen
Marlins: Jon Lester, Jacob Ellsbury, and Mike Lowell" - marlins2219

Message Board Marauder 3.0


It's Tuesday, which means it's time for the weekly look at internet message board shenanigans. On to the douchebaggery.

NYYfans: "How about getting Barry Bonds on the Yanks in 08? He still has power and he still can get on base at an insane rate. It'd be a 1 year deal at best so it'd be low risk. Why not? It wouldn't hurt the lineup. He could DH easily." - Metroidman

MLB.com (Kansas City Royals): "What about Joey Gathright + prospect for Dontrelle WIllis + low A ball 2B prospect?" - royalsfansince1985

Cards Clubhouse: "I can't wait, I will be singing hallalojouh when Tony LaRussa and Dave Duncan leave. I will be partying in the streets of stl. They don't like young players, and Dave Duncan is only good for verterans, who know what they are doing. Anyone else hope we get either Girard or Ocquendo?" - asrabbit91

Brewerfan: "Geoff Jenkins is better than Carl Crawford, let's just stick with him for now if the best we could get is Crawford." - JoeHova

Dodger Blues: "The Cubs need a shortstop/leadoff hitter, a closer, and another bat. So we trade them Rafael Furcal, Takashi Saito, and Luis Gonzalez, and in return we get Carlos Zambrano and two prospects. We trade Chicago's prospects, along with two of our own, to Texas for Eric Gagne and Akinori Otsuka." - UCLA

Reds Zone: "Ken Griffey, Jr to NYM for Lastings Milledge, Mike Pelfrey and Philip Humber.

Adam Dunn to ANA for Brandon Wood, Jeff Mathis and Steve Shell

Adam Dunn to ARI for Carlos Quentin, Scott Hairston and Micah Owings.

David Weathers and Scott Hatteberg to NYY for Joba Chamberlain and another prospect." - buckeyenut

Orioles Hangout: "Do you make this trade?:

Jeff Weaver, Richie Sexson, Adam Jones, Yuniesky Betancourt, Brandon Morrow for Miguel Tejada and Daniel Cabrera?" - Sports Guy

Message Board Marauder 2.0


It is Tuesday, which means that it is time for the weekly look around the world of message boards, and the douchebaggery that exists within.

NYYFans.com (New York Yankees): "Why is the media so in love with this years Tigers? Because they were overated last year too. what am i supposed to think when a team plays over its head and then we kill them all season and they go into the playoffs limping and didnt even win their division after leading the whole year ?? am i supposed to think thats a great team ??

As for this season well nobody couldve predicted their offense being this good. they simply werent this good last year. but again we will see what happens. i remember the 04 marlins and the 06 white sox starting off like gangbusters too and then both missing the playoffs." - donniesrecordholdsup

Blue Jay Way: "Cito Gaston was all business, as were the players. They expected to win. They had T-shirts saying 3 for 3 in '92. They knew from day 1 what they wanted to do, and when that happens, by all means, let them be. This is different, and that's why the manager needs to go. He can't change this now - someone else has to. Mike Hargrove??" - patientlywaiting

Ranger Fans: "Any thoughts on a trade with detroit for texeira and gagne centered on a prospects package centering around andrew miller....hes pitched well in 4 starts this year." - Teixeira Fan

Oakball (Oakland A's): "The offical bobby crosby sucks ass thread
If you hate bobby crosby and think he is horrible this is the thread for you!
Post your hate here!
I'll start......
Bobby crosby is a pussy bitch who cant hit above .235 to save his life." - linusalf

BallParkGuys.com (Washington Nationals): "I feel our future is bright and predict w/in 5 years the Nats will be competing for 1st in the NL East every year and (judging by our avid fan base) will be considered one of the top BB towns in the league." - Bay Nats

North Side Baseball (Chicago Cubs): "It would be just like the Cards to continue playing better for the rest of the season in spite of the obvious problems they have. St. Louis, the city of magic pixie dust." - Soul

(DOTD Editor's Note: As an StL resident and Cards fan, I would like to address this rumor - we do not have pixie dust in the air. Thank you for your attention. Now back to the douchebags.)

Giants Talk: "It seems to me that to have success, Zito needs to do two things:
(a) Not walk batters.
(b) Not throw hanging curveballs." - LondonStatto

Sox Talk (Chicago White Sox): "My first trade would be Dye and Garland to the Dodgers for Billingsley, Broxton and Kemp. My next trade would be Contreras and Iguchi to the Mets for Pelfrey, Heilman, and Milledge. My last trade is Brian Anderson to Arizona for Orlando Hudson." - Lemon 44

ESPN.com (Kansas City Royals): "No way I trade Zack Greinke at this point. There is too much upside and this kid is still young enough to unload him for someone like Lastings Milledge. I don't think I'd even do it for Teixeira." - desertfan
