    If he crumbles at any point in the last three scoring drives, they lose. He made throws and played smart when it mattered. He gets credit in my book. Not all of it, which I don't think for a minute that any fan with a brain is giving him.

    Tim Tebow!!!! Love him or Hate him? He is probably talked about on this site more than anything except bowhunting itself.
    Thats not a bad thing. It's better than some thug or hood (NCAA basketball) or a has-been QB sending texts.
    At least most everyone agrees; you have to like what Tebow stands for.

    I, for one, would love to drink Tim Tebow Kool-aid!!!!! I feel like you would have to get down to the last few gulps before it would taste good though...

    I'm pretty sure Tebow is at the top, with gun hunting nipping at his heals. Bowhunting is probably still in the top 10, but its falling fast.

    Yeah! No one wants to see those thug kids from the hood throw a couple punches. We need real sports like hockey where "tough guys" and "warriors" fight all the time or hit each other in the face with sticks.

    Come on Vito, get with it.

    white guys fighting and playing dirty=respectable aspects of a sport
    black guys fighting and playing dirty=gangsta thug aspects of a sport

    You should know this by now. I think the problem is you are trying to be PC and are not a retard.

    Bruce, correct me if I am wrong but I believe the term you are looking for is mentally challenged.

    Ahhh...thanks for clearing that up, Bruce. Sometimes I can be intellectually elaborated.

    Hockey players in pads duking it out is much different than a 6'9" 260 lb mammoth of a man cold clockin a guy who wasn't even trying to fight him. To sucker punch a guy not even involved in a fight is a ***** move. To clear the bench for a brawl and explain after the game it's because you are gangsters, well that just put the icing on the cake. They are all idiots. Hockey players are too in a lot of cases, but it isn't comparable

    Yeah, no one ever gets sucker punched in hockey. Lets focus on the once a decade event in college basketball where someone gets punched.

    I don't support hockey fighting:confused: just said the two weren't very comparable.

    And I don't think it is excusable to say it rarely happens. Everyone who throws a punch on the hardwood should be at the very least out for the season. They are going to college, for free, often times on tax payers money. If I were to have sucker punched a guy at the line at Pizza Hut in the food court in under grad, I'd have been arrested and lost my scholarship. These guys were allowed to explain that it was an intense rivalry that people don't understand, and they are gangsters in the locker room.

    Hockey fighting is stupid, and is a reason I think harsher penalties than 6 games should be issued to keep it from coming over into a sport where there is no room for that nonsense.

    It isn't so much a race issue, more a social/economic issue I'd say. I know plenty of white thugs/gangsters/etc... They are just as trashy as the black ones, I can assure you.



    After the penalties have been accessed....the only guy looking stupider than the Xavier players is the Cincy coach...what a joke to take a hard ball stance post game and then give the lightest penalty possible to the players. No spine.

    Fighting in hockey is a part of the game. Always has been and always will be. There is no part of the game for a brawl to break out in basketball. Not comparable.

    What basketball needs is enforcers. That would help cut down the violence and would also get more white guys back into the sport.

    Most white guys are too scarred in the grassroots game these days!
