OH Well

[consumerman]

Just two pro teams left and oh well each has a De La Salle player

[St.X fan2]

Last year an X player was on the winning SB team.

That's nice... It doesn't really matter to me though.

Everyone knows who Tom Brady is, but do they know who Christopher Brady is?

http://www.boston.com/sports/football/patriots/articles/2007/05/16/this_rookies_story_sure_sounds_familiar/

FOXBOROUGH -- A few weeks before the draft, Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels ventured to De La Salle High School in Concord, Calif., to work out quarterback Matt Gutierrez, an alumnus of the Northern California Catholic school. De La Salle coach Bob Ladouceur was eager to put in a good word about Gutierrez, who helped De La Salle set the national record for consecutive victories (151).

"I said, 'I can't tell you anything about his mechanics. You know that stuff better than me, but I can tell you about his character,' " said Ladouceur. According to the legendary coach, McDaniels replied, "We know about his character. We think he's a lot like the guy we have now."

That guy is Tom Brady.

It's easy to scoff at the notion that a 22-year-old undrafted quarterback from Idaho State is worthy of being compared to Tom Terrific, but the two have a lot in common. Both are from Northern California. Both attended the University of Michigan -- Gutierrez was a much-ballyhooed recruit of the Maize and Blue and spent four years in Ann Arbor before transferring to Division 1-AA Idaho State to finish his college career. At Michigan, both battled freshman phenoms who wore No. 7 (Drew Henson for Brady, Chad Henne for Gutierrez).

And in the truth-is-stranger-than-fiction category, the principal of De La Salle is Brother Christopher Brady, Tom's uncle.

Shocking update: Every single player on both the Patriots and Giants rosters played high school football. Rumor has it that there are 43 other high schools who can claim to have the same number of starters in the game as does DLS. Film at 11.

Homerism gone wild.

How many have a player on each team?

you missed the point completely

[skyway28]

Threads like this cause nausea for nearly everybody on the board.

[Chicago]

Maybe Skyway's mom just packed him a bad lunch.

That back and forth is a little funny.

cman-what can you expect from a DLS grad....

[consumerman]

Threads like this cause nausea for nearly everybody on the board.

but CC had more nausea rating than DLS and if CC had not get their ----- kicked for 2 and a half quarters they would have had even more nausea

and CC was not the most worthy nausea team from socal anyway

[consumerman]

...and a former St. X coach won the NCAA championship last year
...a former St. X QB lost in the NCAA championship twice
...I just saved 15% on my car insurance...

DJ williams won both a high school national championship and a NCAA championship

[pied]

and CC was not the most worthy nausea team from socal anyway

Then how did they get in the title game?

you missed the point completelyNo, didn't miss the point at all. OK so DLS has a 3rd string QB on the Pats who has made no impact at all other than to keep the clipboard warm. You think it's worth beating your chest about, I think not. If the Ravens or Jags had made the SB, with starters facing each other, OK, worth mentioning. I'm a huge M.Gutierrez fan, but the fact is that he's an emergency QB is not noteworthy as far as the SB XLII matchup is concerned.

My suspicion is that this is no extraordinary feat - probably done by LB Poly numerous times given the number of players that they have put in the NFL.

I don't use smilies, but I have seen one w/a smilie guy munching some popcorn. I might try and find that one for this post.

so it MAY be possible that 1 other team ever had this accomplishment and you say it is no extraordinary feat?

huh????

15000 high schools

and MAYBE one other school did the same thing and you offer no proof

this is funny

when you lose a debate resort to personal attacks

wow

not unexpected

consumerman-more and more I think you are really another poster w/two identies making stuff up and are laughing your a$% off at the replies.

You cannot be serious can you? Really? Come clean.

Thank you. We're beggining to border on mental illness with this stuff.

[SLCDad]

Thank you. We're beggining to border on mental illness with this stuff.

In the last two weeks this board has gone nuts. Over that period, the post count leaders on this board are:

Consumerman 105
Pied 53
Chicago 44
SLCDad 35
Skyway 34
Elwood 14

A large percentage of the posts fall into the "mental illness" category that you describe IMO.

Very few of these posts have added any value at all.

(No doubt this post will generate more the the same)

[elwood]

pot meet kettle.

[SLCDad]

pot meet kettle.Nice to meet you.

Some are worse offenders than others but nobody is exempt (your last post and my response are good examples).

[Chicago]

SLCDad and Skyway, congratulations on your 69.

I could not help that. I tried. I failed.

[skyway28]

And congratulations on your big "O" with consumerman!

[consumerman]

Which Texas poster and SLC backer has over 3500 posts on an OHIO CHAT BOARD ...

whose team has never played in Ohio
whose team has never traveled anywhere

and therefore really has no business being on an Ohio chat board

and then calls out posters for how many posts they make?


there's a hitch in his get-a-long allright

y'all

[Chicago]

151 and 0.

[consumerman]

which poster spent months and months telling us preseason nonconference and intrastate matchups are meaningless

until SLC - MNW was announced
(a preseason nonconference intrastate matchup)

and then started SEVEN THREADS on SLC-MNW

in one thread he called them thugs?

[RidgePride]

I can see where this is more appropriate for the college board, but whatever.

Since the other thread was locked I have to respond to you here.

I never said that my topic was not appropriate for a college board.

I am just saying for UncleBaldy to be FAIR. If my topic was for a college board, then Consumerman and UncleBaldy's belong on the NFL board. Plain and Simple.

Consumerman started a topic of DLS beating the Steelers. Consumerman was clearly referring to an NFL athlete who went to DLS.

Then UncleBaldy continued the lunacy.

I was referring to a college athlete who went to SLC and it was removed immediately.

I really don't expect you to understand Pied since all you do is see things from everyone elses perspective besides other Texans in your feeble attempts to be UNBIASED.

I think you misunderstood my "but whatever". What I meant is that I don't think it's that big of a deal. If I had a vote, I would vote with you although I see the point UB was making, but it's not my baord and I don't have a vote, so whatever.
