Running Supe XLII/42nd Large And Important American Football Game Thread

This is the gist - works better for Tiki than Ewing . He should rename it the Barber theory or The Shockey Theory

A star athlete receives an inordinate amount of media attention and fan interest, and yet his teams never win anything substantial with him (other than maybe some early-round playoff series).

That same athlete leaves his team (either by injury, trade, graduation, free agency or retirement) -- and both the media and fans immediately write off the team for the following season.

 

Yeah, naming it after Ewing is unacceptable. There should be two categories, professional and collegiate.
The collegiate theory should, naturally, be called the "Manning" Theory, seeing as the Vols won the chipper after Peyton was drafted in '99, and then the pro version can go to Barber...the Tiki theory.
The hip, generation-Y simmons' fanbois don't know who "Ewing" is anyway.

 

How about the Bledsoe Theory?

 

In which one must have his chest sheared in half in order to inspire victory?

 

No. A team is better without is supposed star player.

 

douche

 

Looks like McNabb finally won a Super Bowl
Though everyone scores on her

 

C'mon, Tomas. He got several letters correct.

 

yeah I knew that. I was just riffing on the horrible injury Bledsoe suffered to begin the Brady Era.

 

True, but he is the only one that pops to mind as far as winning titles. Mattingly was just unlucky. Drew seemed to be holding them back.

 

sorry. i hate it when i feel the need to point out stupidity.

 

Matingley, Mattinglywhat's the difference...still no ring for him?
