THE PULSE (1:05 PM)

Steve Bunin (1:05 PM)
Yes you can Tom. Hold on, gotta get back to Marc Stein...
Mike (Henrietta)
Allen is a great player and very hard working, why wouldnt a team want him?
Jeremy (Fredericksburg VA)
It dosent get any more clutch than a base cleaing triple in the 9th with 2 outs. Great job Michael.
Matt (Boston)
AI WILL COME TO BOSTON STEVE!
Matt (Boston)
Marc, will AI go to boston?
Bryan (Marion Ohio)
AI will be going to Boston...Although I would love to see him and LeBron on the same team
brent (nyc)
michael young is the future for major league shortstops hopefully he wo't be gready when he becomes afree agent
Elias (Renton, Washington)
im 12 and i wish i could've watched michael young, but i had a championship 2 win
victor alexandria,la
can you ask micheal young about how does it feel to be the mvp of the all star game?
Mike Hill (1:07 PM)
what's up....mike hill rollin with ya....let's do our thing....let's get some feedback....how can sixers give up their heart and soul? what can they get back for him and not have billy king persecuted? holla at us
THE PULSE (1:07 PM)
We'll try!
Steve Bunin (1:07 PM)
Elias - I'm from Mercer Island, WA. What championship did ou win? How did you play? What'd you think of the Sonics draft? Hold on, gotta get back to Marc..
Billy (Michigan)
The Pulse is there anything you cant do?
Mike (Henrietta)
Why would Philidelphia trade AI to a division foe?
Steve Bunin (1:08 PM)
Billy - Michigan rocks. An no, there's nothing the Pulse can't do.
Billy (Michigan)
ya right ai in boston with Paul Perce thats 2 big superstars in the back court only 1 of them can score at a time
Mike Hill (1:09 PM)
tnew will be on during our next hour....he's a great guy...covered him during his rookie year in dallas
Jeremy (Fredericksburg VA)
Iverson sholud go to Washington, because its close to his hometown in Virginia, and the wizards may have a vacancy at shooting guard, because it appears that Jared Jeffries wont re-sign.
Ted (Boston)
Paul Pierce is like Kobe Bryant, but with lesser talent.
Alex (Brooklyn)
I'm 10 and this is the 4th all star game I've watched. And Michael Young and Hank Blalock have shown they could reallly come up clutch. This is what a quality all-star is capable of doing. I couldn't possible see better.
THE PULSE (1:11 PM)
Michael Young will be on after the break. Then Vernon right after!
Elias (Renton, Washington)
it was a baseball tournament in auburn and my team won 4-3 in the finals im the leadoff hitter i almost had a home run my first at bat but it hit the wall
Mike (Henrietta)
Mariano could get his 400th save today, what a closer he is.
Billy (Michigan)
the all star game was so boring til the 9th but im glad the al pulled it out
Mike (Henrietta)
I still dont think its fair to give homefield advantage to the winner of the game, but its still a joy to watch
Alex (Iowa)
Did anyone else turn the All Star game off when Rivera came in, I did.
Bryan (Marion Ohio)
Michael Young is a hero to AL Fans
Nick (Westmoreland, NY)
Phil Garner ruined it for the NL, he left the best hitters in which happened to be the worst fielders, which lost them the game and ohme field advantage.
Travis (Indiana State)
I had to cut my weekend run about a mile short, but I finally made it to The Pulse!
THE PULSE (1:17 PM)
Thanks for stopping by Trav!
Travis (Indiana State)
I'm a Cubs fan so the outcome of the all star game, as usualy, didn't really matter to me....
THE PULSE (1:17 PM)
That was a great throw, boy oh boy.
Cody (Edgerton Wisconsin
How far will the blue jays go this season?
THE PULSE (1:17 PM)
Here's Vernon!
Matt (Boston)
Vernon Wells=Underatted
Travis (Indiana State)
You know I wouldn't miss The Pulse. I plan my week around being front of the computer at this time every Saturday!
Alex (Brooklyn)
Maybe the Yankees will lose viewers if they ever started Mariano. So the game won't be watched.
Billy (Michigan)
Vernon, do you think your teams sucess this year has been from the the free agents your team picked up in the off season?
Clint (Athens, Ga)
Ask Vernon why the US laid such an egg at the WBC.
brent (nyc)
what was your reaction when you were drafed by a team outside of the u.s where baseball is usually played
Billy (Michigan)
Vernon, do you think your teams sucess this year has been from the the free agents your team picked up in the off season?
Jeremy (Fredericksburg VA)
The Blue Jays cant make the playoffs with the Yanks and BoSox in the same division.
Jeremy (Fredericksburg VA)
Joe Torre has done a great job keeping the yanks in the playoff race after losing Sheffield, and Matsui. Great Manager.
victor alexandria,la
vernon Do you think toronto can catch boston in september?
Mike (Henrietta)
I dont know why everybody doubts the yankees, theyre only 1.5 games back and thats with all the injuries they have
Travis (Madison)
Vernon, I consider you the best centerfielder in the AL, Who do you think are some of the best centerfielders in the AL?
Nick (Westmoreland, NY)
How does it feel to be so close to catching the Yankees and Red Sox, and having a real chance at winning the NL East?
Billy (Michigan)
Hey Pulse guys, can you say which questions get on the air cuz i only have basic cable in my computer room
THE PULSE (1:22 PM)
All right Jeff! You were on The Pulse.
Steve Bunin (1:22 PM)
Billy - we can't really do that. Get some legit cable, man!!
Ephraim R. (Maple Shade, NJ)
I think it's a little speculative that Garner got outmanaged. Hoffman just plain old blew it, it's that simple.
THE PULSE (1:23 PM)
Michael Young's on!
Billy (Michigan)
Hoffman was in a bad situation everyone before him was pitching mid to high 90's and now he comes in throwing 80's just a bad situation
Travis (Indiana State)
Michael, does playing in the Texas heat day in and day out have any effect on your training regimen?
Mike (Henrietta)
Hey Michael, how good did it feel to get that hit off Trevor, one of the best all time closers?
Billy (Michigan)
Michael good job on the MVP what was going through your mind when you hit that triple?
Nick (Westmoreland, NY)
Michael, how does it feel to know that you were a major factor in determining who gets home field advantage in the World Series?
THE PULSE (1:27 PM)
Tons of questions coming in for Michael. We're going to try and ask Michael as many of them as we can.
Mitchel-Houston
Michael Young is the most underrated player since Willie McGee.
Travis (Indiana State)
Michael, do you expect any "thank you" cards for whichever team represents the AL in the World Series?
THE PULSE (1:29 PM)
Billy, you were on!
THE PULSE (1:29 PM)
Good question Chris!
THE PULSE (1:30 PM)
LSU is up next. LaRon Landry!
Bryan (Marion Ohio)
The Tigers will only have Home Field Advantage in the World Series on EA Sports Baseball Games
Bryan (Marion Ohio)
Said they would get to as many questions as possible for Young and Wells and they only asked 1 to each?
Steve Bunin (1:31 PM)
Alright Pulsites - who'd you rather have on your team: Vernon Wells or Michael Young?
THE PULSE (1:31 PM)
Sorry. Those guys had to run. They've got a game to play later!
Mitchel-Houston
You made it Billy!
THE PULSE (1:33 PM)
We've got LaRon Landry, then Kyle Busch and then Dwight Freeney of the Indy Colts!
THE PULSE (1:33 PM)
How does everyone think the Colts will do this year? Reach the Super Bowl? Win it?
Elias (Renton, Washington)
i'd rather have vernon wells because we need a centerfielder, we have our own all-star second baseman
Matt (Boston)
Not if my pats are there.
Matty (Cleveland, OH)
LaRon, you guys lost Joseph Addai this year to the draft, how do you think that will effect the team?
Mike (Henrietta)
Big yankees fan, Id take Vernon and put Damon in right field
Mitchel-Houston
C'mon pulse,Young=guaranteed hit.
BRENT S (NY, NY)
laron What sport oher then football were you best at?
Alex (Brooklyn)
Football so early, not use to it. I think the Patriots, will go quite farther. But those Jets are really going to be in the hunt. They really wanted Matt Leinart didn't think they were going to get him, had the chance, but got DBrickeshaw.
Jeremy (Fredericksburg VA)
The Colts won't reach the superbowl, so they centainly wont win it. Peyton Mannings career has Dan Marino written all over it. Great players with no rings.
Mike (Henrietta)
I think my Titans have a great chance to suprise many with key offseason additions and draftpicks and nobody is talking about them and the year they got to the superbowl, everyone thought they werent gonna do anything either
Travis (Indiana State)
The door is starting to close on Peyon. Harrision is a bit older and the lost their Edge
THE PULSE (1:39 PM)
Who does everyone like in the SEC this year?
THE PULSE (1:39 PM)
Charles. Good question!
james (tennessee)
florida or auburn
THE PULSE (1:40 PM)
LaRon's out!
7th grader (won't tell you)
i think no doubt the SEC is the best conference in college football this year.i have to say that i like florida.
Alex (Brooklyn)
I really wouldn't talk about Football so early. You don't know if a team is going to make a good move. Or something off field happens.
THE PULSE (1:41 PM)
So, no Colts fans out there? How about Dwight Freeney fans?
THE PULSE (1:42 PM)
He's going to be on The Pulse soon.
Mitchel-houston
Watch out for Florida.
victor alexandria,la
1 lsu 2alabama 3auburn.
Jordan Gill (Lambertville, Michigan)
Dude I can't wait for football. Right now I just feel empty inside. The Tigers are doing pretty good for once though.
Mike Hill (1:44 PM)
who's gonna win the n-f-c east this season.....might be the toughest division in footbal this year....your thoughts
Matty (Cleveland, OH)
I want to know whats up with the busch brothers having such bad tempers?
Travis (Indiana State)
The Colts training camp is held in the city I live in; but I am not a Colts fan. I am a diehard Packers fan and am looking forward to Brett Favre ending his career John Elaway style!
BRENT S (nyc)
kyle what was it like watching your broher win the nextel cup
Ted (Boston)
sleeper team of the sec is Arkansas,Darren McFadden RB is a beast.He is so quick,hes almost like Reggie Bush.
Mike Hill (1:46 PM)
holla at us.....are nascar feuds good for the sport?
Chris (Buffalo)
Washington will win the NFC East. That defense is as tough as ever and they finally should have the offense to match, bringing in Al Saunders to make better use of Moss and Portis.
Ephraim R. (Maple Shade, NJ)
sure. feuds are good for anything!
Jordan Gill (Lambertville, Michigan)
Nascar feuds are defenitley good for the sport. Everyone loves the crash and that just increases the chances of one happening.
james (tennessee)
yes i think nascar feuds is good for the sport
Billy (Michigan)
i dont watch much racing but if i see some guy pushing another im dialed in
Matt (Boston)
TALLEDEGA NIGHTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Travis (Indiana State)
How come Nascar fans can fight and it's just "part of the culture" but when one soccer player headbuts another it's an internation outrage?
Matt (Boston)
Feuds are not good for Nascar.
john (georgia)
I think the colts will make the super bowl
THE PULSE (1:50 PM)
Kyle's out!
THE PULSE (1:50 PM)
Dwight Freeney is up next!
THE PULSE (1:51 PM)
Any Dwight fans out there?
Matt (Boston)
Dwight, you was you inspiration growing up?
7th grader (won't tell you)
the problem with people watching nascar for the fueds is THERE PROBABLY GONNA NEED TO WATCH FOR TWO HOURS BEFORE YOU SEE ANYTHING.
Billy (Michigan)
the colts will make the super bowl.. in madden 07
Matty (Cleveland, OH)
Its not about the crashes, have we already forgotten about Dale Sr. and Adam Petty? Racing isnt about crashes, its about the burning of rubber, and the final pass to win the daytona 500.
Matt (Boston)
Dwight, who is the toughest O-line in the NFL?
Seth (Greenfield Ind)
Dwight do you think the Colts can copy the season from last year, and take advantage of this year
Jordan Gill (Lambertville, Michigan)
Dwight, how much does last year's playoff ending stay with you knowing that you were a field goal away from forcing overtime against the Steelers?
Bri (NJ)
Who likes Nascar
BRENT S (nyc)
dwight who is the funniest guy in the clubhouse?
Billy (Michigan)
maybe Tenneesse can come back from there crap year!
THE PULSE (1:53 PM)
At the top of the next hour, we'll have "Sugar" Ray Leonard on to talk about The Contender. Anyone planning on watching the premier on Tuesday?
Ryan (Bristol)
ELI's going to the Super Bowl before Peyton
Matt (Boston)
Mike Hill and Steve Bunin are the S**T!
Matt (Boston)
Dwight freeney is one of the best Defensive ends in the game. Along with richard seymour.
Mitchel-houston
sorry Travis but Elway and my broncos had a guy named Terrell Davis and a guy named Shannon Sharpe to help him. Good lucj with those Packers this year.
Matty (Cleveland, OH)
My sleeper is the Cards, there offense should be at its best this year, bringing james in made a huge difference, its going to open up the passing game greatly.
Matt (Boston)
Dwight, with the loss of E. James, do you think the Colts can still be a dominate force in the AFC?
Jeremy (Fredericksburg VA)
Julius Jones will have a huge career season. He is the NFL's sleeper in 06. You heard it first here on the pulse.
Billy (Michigan)
i would like to see Farve break the all time passing td's he only needs 20 some more
Matty (Cleveland, OH)
Rueben Droughns= Underated
Alex (Iowa)
I think John Clayton's "Under the Cap team" wins it all, no way you can stop that thing...
THE PULSE (2:01 PM)
I agree.
THE PULSE (2:02 PM)
Sugar Ray's up next!
Jeremy (Fredericksburg VA)
Is Terence Newman still coming on?
THE PULSE (2:04 PM)
We've got him later this hour! Stay tuned.
Matty (Cleveland, OH)
Poor Barry Bonds, I feel bad for the guy.
Mike (Henrietta)
He cheated in our great game, he deserves everything he gets
Matt (Boston)
Nope. I feel bad for Lance, not bonds. Lance is getting harrased when he doesnt deserve it. Bonds does deserve the harassment.
Travis (Indiana State)
The man makes over $20 million a year and he might land in jail for not reporting like $100 thousand of it. Sounds a little strange to me.
mitchel-houston
At least Canseco admitted it!
Matty (Cleveland, OH)
I think the government should stay out of this, he has never tested positive, and has never violated the substance abuse policy, when rafael palmerio didnt get as much harassment as bonds has, and he lied right to the face of the supreme court.
Matt (Boston)
I LOVE JENNIE FINCH!
THE PULSE (2:09 PM)
I think we all do, Matt.
Matty (Cleveland, OH)
And this crap with Jose Conseco, its all about publicity, Jose was out of the media for quite sometime, and then he published the book, and then went to court, started playing minor league ball, and now says he has more names, wouldnt you think that he'd give those names when he gave the others?
Jordan Gill (Lambertville, Michigan)
I feel a little bit bad for Bonds simply because he takes a horrible wrap while Jason Giambi still gets cheered in Yankee stadium when he hits a homerun.
Travis (Indiana State)
Boxing is a great sport. It's a shame there isn't another Sugar Ray out there that could bring boxing back to its glory days.
mitchel-houston
Sugar you're the man! what happens tonight with Vargas/Mosley?
Jordan Gill (Lambertville, Michigan)
Sugar Ray, I knocked you out in four rounds in Fight Night Round 3. Whats up with that?
Steve Bunin (2:11 PM)
Pulsites - have you gone soft on me? Why are you all feeling sorry for BBonds? Guy makes $20m a year, muscularly ballooned up at age 35 like no other human had before .... come on!
Terrance (ATL)
I don't feel bad for Lance... Where there's smoke, there's fire.
Jake (Iowa)
I dont feel sorry, he has everything he wants. He gets the heat because he chose to be famous, and he chose to cheat.
Mike Hill (2:14 PM)
do you think there's a witch hunt when it comes to barry bonds?
Alex (Iowa)
I cant wait to see Barry Bond's mug shot...
Travis (Indiana State)
The whole steriod probe is focused on Bonds because the media has always, rightly or wrongly, been out to get Bonds. If you don't think that is true just ask Jason Giambi.
Matty (Cleveland, OH)
Heck yes there is, and its crap, only one other person in the history of baseball has endured as much heat as barry has, that person is Pete Rose, its a totally different situation, barry bonds is not a criminal.......he's a baseball player.
Terrance (ATL)
How in the hell do we know he cheated? There are no positive drug tests.
Alex (Iowa)
Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole
Terrance (ATL)
Yes, without a doubt. The media (you guys) don't like him.
Travis (Indiana State)
I'd like to see Bonds and Canseco step into the ring. It would be a battle of bulging biceps, bulging hat sizes, and more back achne that anyone has ever seen.
Steve Bunin (2:18 PM)
Travis - that's the best idea I've heard of yet.
THE PULSE (2:18 PM)
We've got a lot more guests coming up later on The Pulse. We're going to be talking with Eric Wynalda, Helio Castroneves, Marc Stein, Terence Newman, Aaron Boulding!
THE PULSE (2:19 PM)
What does everyone think about Bruce Arena stepping down from coaching the U.S. national soccer team?
Alex (Iowa)
Barry Bonds should just stick his son out on his front porch so when the authorities come to get him they will feel sorry for him and let him go...
Mike Hill (2:19 PM)
barry bonds has never tested positive for the stuff....may have done it...but we have no proof....so why is baseball and the government making him the scapegoat for the steroid problem in baseball?
Steve Bunin (2:20 PM)
No, there's no witch hunt, MIke Hill - you crazy!! (But it's a nice tie you've got my friend). Witch hunt connotates searching for something that's not there. Who out there doesn't think it's a tad suspicious Bonds got so much bigger in his mid-30s? That means it's no witch hunt!
Jordan Gill (Lambertville, Michigan)
We know he cheated, we just don't know whether he did it knowingly or not.
Jake (Pella, Iowa)
Knowingly? So he just thought, well, i think i'll just stick this unidentified substance in me. Give me a break.
7th Grader (won't tell you)
oh what jordan someone just accidentely tiped over a bottle of steroids right as his head was below it?
victor alexandria,la
who do es joe favor in the s.e.c.?
Jordan Gill (Lambertville, Michigan)
If you honestly think that Barry Bonds never took roids then you might wanna go back and try and pass 1st grade.
Matty (Cleveland, OH)
Steve now your just being a smartass.
Alex (Iowa)
BARRY DIDNT KNOWNINGLY TAKE STEROIDS JUST LIKE I DONT KNOW I AM TYPING THIS IN CAPS LOCK...
Steve Bunin (2:23 PM)
Watch the language Pulsites! Tell me I'm wrong, Matty. Gaining weight is one thing, gaining muscle is another. And Bob - if Bonds wasn't such a jerk, he might not get this much harassment, but you know what? It's his choice to be a jerk, and there are consequences to that choice. This is one of those consequences. Period.
Brian (Grand Rapids)
Sorry if this seems too American, but I believe we're innocent until proven guilty.
Jeremy (Fredericksburg VA)
Adrian Peterson is a great back. When he gets to the NFL, look out because he the most NFL ready collegiate player I've seen.
Jordan Gill (Lambertville, Michigan)
How come I haven't heard any love for my Ohio State Buckeyes yet, oh wait, we aren't at the number one team yet.
Alex (Iowa)
totally agreed steve
Alex (Iowa)
Agreed
mitchel-houston
?????hey 7th grader it's past your bedtime.
Terrance (ATL)
LSU will be muy bien this anos!
Alex (Iowa)
all the Iowa boys show up and watch the pulse...
Terrance (ATL)
What? yes there is a witch hunt! You're going after one person rather than the thousands of other players who have even tested positive!
Steve Bunin (2:28 PM)
Terrance - don't get me wrong. I DO go after the guys who tested positive. But let's face it, they're no-names other than Raffy. Bonds is approaching (slowly) Hank Aaron. THAT makes him different. Period. Exclamation point!
Mike Hill (2:28 PM)
Steve, you know, I know he probably did it....all I'm saying is he's not the only one.....why single out barry...there's a lot of reasons why I can think of.....race comes into....his attitude comes into it and the fact he just passed one of the most revered players of all time
THE PULSE (2:28 PM)
Did anyone see Landon Donovan supposedly say Eric Wynalda got Bruce Arena fired? Do y'all think he was fired or did he just decide to step down?
Matty (Cleveland, OH)
Troy Smith= Heisman tropheyTroy Smith + Teddy Ginn Jr.= Titile Baby!
mitchel-houston
I'm a Texas fan but I might have to agree with you Matty.
BRENT S (NY NY)
i love the fact that kobe needs surgury i hope he never recovers
Jake (Pella, Iowa)
Brent, you just a hater, i dont like Kobe, but come on!
Mike (Henrietta)
One word for Brent KARMA
THE PULSE (2:35 PM)
We're about halfway through The Pulse! How's everyone doing out there?
cameron (jackson,ohio)
i agree matty.....OHIO STATE all the way!!!!
Terrance (ATL)
Guys, I love the debate.
Jesse (Palm City)
Boston will win the pennet
Matty (Cleveland, OH)
Brent's just mad that The Knicks suck and its going to take a miracle for them to actually do something in NY.
Sam (Indianapolis)
Cheer, Cheer for ol' Notre Dame! Brady Quinn will shatter the touchdowns in a season record. Notre Dame's offense will look like one straight out of NCAA Football 07.
Terrance (ATL)
Go Astros! World Series or bust!
Patrick (Baltimore)
Jesse they better worry about winning the East Divison first..
Ephraim R. (Maple Shade, NJ)
Barry has been singled out by the feds because they received what I assume is solid evidence he lied to them. Now, I've never been the subject of a federal investigation (duh), but from what i understand, it's a pretty bad idea to lie to them because they take it pretty personally. Maybe if BB had just been in honest from the git go, he could be quietly doing his HGH like Giambi to the praise of fans everywhere. Instead, he's heading to the klink. As always, the cover-up has done more damage to the action. Congratulations to Mr. Bonds team of attorneys for apparently having no memory of 1000 recent examples of this.
cam (jackson,ohio)
nooo... you mean ohio state?
mitchel-houston
Damn this is fun!! Is there any way we can get everyone who is participating right now to have someone pay us to do this everyday as a living. I'll quit my job right now!!
jon (plainsboro nj)
oh yeah i see that my boy terence newman is going to be on the pluse oh yeahhhh go cowboys
Patrick (Baltimore)
NCAA Football 07 is just a warm up for the Madden Game coming.
7th Grader (won't tell you)
has anyone seen that Marc Tyler?how about Chris Galippo?i think that Marc Tyler is the next Marcus Allen and could be the only thing standing in the way of Jimmy Clausen and two Heismans how interesting cause right now there teammates.
THE PULSE (2:38 PM)
Terence Newman is up next!
Antwuan (Keller, TX)
Terence, you're the youngster of the Cowboys core of corners, what is the most valuable thing that you have learned from established veterans Aaron Glenn and Anthony Henry?
Sean (Austin, TX)
Terence, I think you are the greatest cover corner in the NFL, but you go largely unnoticed by many others as an elite CB. Why do you feel this is?
jon (plainsboro nj)
yeah that my boy terence newman
Jeremy (Fredericksburg VA)
T-New on the pulse!!!! GO COWBOYS!!!!
Jake (Pella, Iowa)
Honestly, how many of you are actually Newman fans?
Jeremy (Fredericksburg VA)
T-NEW is my favorite cowboys player. Expect big things from him this year.
victor alexandria,la
terrance won,t beatr new orleans.
THE PULSE (2:44 PM)
Good question Dave!
Terrance (ATL)
Nope. Horn, Bush and Stallworth will burn Terrance!
Alex (Cedar Falls, IA)
Anyone care to give love to the Tour de France, me either...
Alex (Cedar Falls, IA)
Zambrano vs Glavine, should be an excellent matchup.
Sam (Indianapolis)
JJ will rush for 1500 yards this year. Expect HUGE Things from J Jones.
Terrance (ATL)
Tour De Lance... I think not.
Travis (Indiana State)
Zambrano is the only positive that the Cubs have had all season.
Alex (Cedar Falls, IA)
Nobody cares about Barbaro, so why is the media constantly bringing up his condition?
Jeremy (Lowell,Indiana)
Aaron, what's best feature on NCAA Football 07
Antwuan (Keller, TX)
Terrance... Stallworth can burn T-New... but can he hold on 2 the ball?
Sam (Indianapolis)
Yes, Alex. A good blowout as Zambrano is rocked for about seven runs.
mitchel-houston
yeah JJ is the real deal only if he can stay healthy.
Alex (Cedar Falls, IA)
If Michelle Wie didnt get accepted to the PGA tour, then would that be racist like Bonds? NO WAY, we only say this would be racist because Barry is black....
Ephraim R. (Maple Shade, NJ)
parcells loves marion barber xxvi too much for JJ to get enough carries to get 1500.
Mike (Henrietta)
Yankees 8-0 going into the 5th inning vs the whitesox
THE PULSE (2:50 PM)
NCAA 2007 is up next!
THE PULSE (2:50 PM)
Aaron Boulding will be in to review it!
Sheyi (Columbus, OH)
Superbowl all the way. Go Cowboys
Sam (Indianapolis)
JJ will find a way. Barber is a one-year wonder.
Sam (Indianapolis)
Dwight Freeney will SHATTER the all-time sack record.
Jeremy (Fredericksburg VA)
Ephraim while parcells likes Marion Barber Julius Jones will remain the starter because he poses more of a homerun threat than barber. Braber will be the change of pace back.
Sam (Indianapolis)
I've gotta watch NCAA.
THE PULSE (2:54 PM)
Aaron Boulding of IGN.com is on next!
THE PULSE (2:54 PM)
Here he is!
Mike Hill (2:54 PM)
t-new was great, wasn't he?
Matt Hasskamp MN
Will NCAA have a two play co-op mode for the 360 this year, unlike madden of last year.
Miguel Mendez (yuma,az)
Will this game be much better on playstation 3 than on the playstation 2?
BRENT S (NY NY)
aaron i want to thank you for telling me whay head coach is i bought it yesterday
Sheyi (Columbus, OH)
Hello Aaron, are the teams programmed to play better based on last year's rankings and records? And who do you think will win the National Championship?
Aaron (Houston)
Hey Aaron what is the best Sports game coming out
THE PULSE (2:57 PM)
Kevin. You're in!
THE PULSE (2:58 PM)
Everett. You were just on The Pulse!
THE PULSE (2:58 PM)
Chad, you made it!
BRENT S (NY NY)
aaron what sports game is one i should never buy
Elias (Renton,Washington)
i love superstar mode
Sheyi (Columbus, OH)
Playstation 3 baby
THE PULSE (3:00 PM)
All right Aaron!
THE PULSE (3:00 PM)
Next is Eric Wynalda, talking about Bruce Arena.
THE PULSE (3:00 PM)
Anyone have to say anything about Arena stepping down?
Jeremy (Fredericksburg VA)
Madden is the greatest game ever. Did anyone watch Madden Nation on ESPN2. Great show to watch for madden football fans.
Sam (Indianapolis)
Superstar sounds AWESOME. WHEN IS IT COMING OUT. Thanks Aaron now I can't wait.
Jake (Pella, Iowa)
He was afraid to take the heat for a lack of a world cup!
Sam (Indianapolis)
FINALLY
THE PULSE (3:02 PM)
After Wynalda, we've got Matt Kenseth.
Nico (Simi Valley, CA)
It's about time. Arena had everything on a silver platter at UVA, and it seemed like he could not handle the workload and "egos".
Steve Bunin (3:04 PM)
Pulsites - great work with Aaron Boulding - the emails are still flooding in .... we got Eric Wynalda comingu p ---- what do you think about Bruce Arena - should he have been canned?
THE PULSE (3:05 PM)
Attention Pulsites. We've just received word that we're going to have the IRL's Helio Castroneves on before the end of the show!
Jared (Hannibal, NY)
Don't you think that the U.S should look at Juergen Klinsmann as the next U.S coach considering he lives in California
THE PULSE (3:06 PM)
Any IRL fans out there? Ever heard Castroneves? He's usually a pretty good interview. Stay tuned!
Sheyi (Columbus, OH)
I think it is a good decision for Bruce Arena to step down as the US National team coach. He has taken the team as far as he could and the U.S need a world cup winner to lead them as head coach.
Jeremy (Lowell,Indiana)
Helio, Are you jumping to Nascar?
Nico (Simi Valley, CA)
The U.S. should have canned him earlier to get Scolari from Portugal. Luis can handle big egos (like Landon Donovan has one).
Matty (Cleveland, OH)
Oh come on, Troy Smith all the way.
Jeremy (Fredericksburg VA)
Sam your probably right. Freeney is great player, but he probably gonna face too many double teams to shatter the sack record.
Ephraim R. (Maple Shade, NJ)
it's not a matter of him being a one-year wonder or not, it's a matter of him being a parcells guy. the big tuna is loyal to his guys...think richie anderson, my man. bobby cox, dave meggett..bp played them well past their ability ro really contribute as much as other guys could have.
Aaron (Houston)
Yankess and Red Sox have showed that the White sox are not the best in the AL
Matty (Cleveland, OH)
Sheyi, how could you root for the boys' your from ohio!!!!
Seth (Indianapolis)
I wish they would come out with nascar 07 before the end of the season and they NCAA 07 would be better then 06 version
Jeremy (Lowell,Indiana)
Cedric Benson will finally win Best RB. Period.
Jake (Pella, Iowa)
I would have to say no, to the cowboys winning it all, Go Vikes!
Alex (Cedar Falls, IA)
Is that the spiderman dude? i dont follow IRL
THE PULSE (3:07 PM)
The one and only.
THE PULSE (3:09 PM)
Alex brings up a good point. If you're not a huge IRL fan, Helio's the one that likes to climb the fence after his win.
Aaron (Houston)
I hope T.O brings the Cowboys alot of Trouble!!
BRENT S (NY NY)
aaron what is a big feature in ncaa 2007
jimi jimi (ny)
is 2ksports in the process of making a football game?
Terrance (ATL)
Unfortunately yes, he should have been canned. The team had high expectations and blew it. It didn't help that, I believe the German coach stepped down because many have speculated about his desire to coach the U.S. team.
Matty (Cleveland, OH)
Whoa, no no no, Alex, you think that racism still doesnt happen anymore, well it does, but it makes a good point that Raffy didnt get Indicted and isnt facing jail time, so it does raise a question.
victor alexandria,la
danica better stay in the irl racing league for now she has a 10 year contract.
7th Grader (won't tell you)
hey people at the hotlist,any chance i get a free version of that game for my X-BOX?
victor alexandria,la
ncaa football 2007 will be good.
Trent (Waco, TX)
Terence, I'm not sure why many experts don't realize this, but it's pretty obvious why your INT totals aren't gaudy: teams don't bother throwing at you any more!!! Do you feel underrated as one of the NFL's elite corners?
THE PULSE (3:12 PM)
Racing fans. We've got two good guests up in the last hour here. Matt Kenseth and Helio Castroneves.
Tyrus (Louisiana)
Ohio St. wins the national championship in NCAA Football 07
BRENT S (NY NY)
matt wha was your feeling when you won the nextel cup after finishing last at daytona
BRENT S (NY NY)
wha do you think about all the danica hype but she has yet to preform do you think she is good for the sport
THE PULSE (3:16 PM)
Good one Richard!
THE PULSE (3:16 PM)
You were just on The Pulse!
Elias (Renton,Washington)
Washington wins the national championship in NCAA 07
Terrance (ATL)
Either I don't get it and i'm one of the dumbest guys in the world or people are asking questions to guests that have not replied? Which one is it?
Alex (Cedar Falls, IA)
Is Danica the Wie of racing?
THE PULSE (3:17 PM)
GREAT question, Eric!
THE PULSE (3:18 PM)
What's going on Pulsites? It's kind of quiet out there in the land of The Pulse chatter!
Alex (Cedar Falls, IA)
Travis (indiana state) you fall off the face of the earth?
Steve Bunin (3:18 PM)
Terrance - don't be so hard on yourself, man! People are asking questions, but we tend to get a bunch in a short amount of time, so we can only usually get in 2 or 3 -- sometimes 4-to-6 if we're lucky. That's why the sooner you get it in, the better. Even the night before, you can hop online and see who's on the guest list. That's your best bet.
Ephraim R. (Maple Shade, NJ)
who to persue a case after is decided by evidence. from what I understand, they don't have much evidence against palmeiro. they do, however, have a ton againt barry. i'm sure they'd love to go after both, but if there is not enough evidence, the case is simply not economically viable to try. with all due respect, the thought that they are pursuing bonds due to his skin color is very very speculative at best, especially when dealwith so many other factors that point to his case being the best one to try.
Matt Kenseth Fan (Peoria, Az)
Matt, if you could change anything regarding the Chase for the Nextel cup(Final 10 races) what would it be? Oh by the way, i am not a Nascar fan, I am a Matt Kenseth fan!
jeff woody
hey terrance what is your feelings about t.o. he has tore up every team he has been with and do you expect that in dallas.
raza (md)
what is sannatana moss`s overall on madden 07?
Steve (Dallas)
Pulse, I'm moving to a new house this weekend, so I won't be able to make it for the rest of the show. See you next weekend when I'm all settled in!
THE PULSE (3:21 PM)
Peace out Steve!
BRENT S (NY NY)
eric who is the favorite to be italys ang germanys next coach
Elias (Renton,Washington)
Juergen Klinnsmann (i dont know if i spelled that right) should be the new U.S coach
Brian (Grafton, WI)
Wouldn't it be smart to get a coach from a more traditional soccer country other than from the US?
THE PULSE (3:25 PM)
We've got Helio Castroneves on. No racing fans out there? If you want your question on-air, send it in now!
BRENT S (NY NY)
eric who is the favorite to be the next coach for italy
BRENT S (NY NY)
he should be fired but i would not be surprised if he finds another kob
THE PULSE (3:29 PM)
Only 30 minutes left in The Pulse!
Matt (Lou. KY)
T-mac is the greatest
Terrance (ATL)
Yao is the greatest!
Terrance (ATL)
Isn't Juergen K********n, or whatever, the former German coach?
THE PULSE (3:30 PM)
Yes he is. He recently stepped down.
Chris (Brawley CA)
Eric Wynalda for coach of the US national team
Jeremy (Fredericksburg VA)
Gilbert Arenas is the greatest!
Colt (Houston, Tx)
Yes, we have a Rockets fan!!
Elias (Renton,Washington)
Ray Allen is the greatest!
matt (Lou. KY)
together they are unstoppable
Brian (Grafton, WI)
Nice pun Steve, a bike race that's off the chain.
Nico (Simi Valley, CA)
Eric would beat Landon to a pulp if he was coach. It would be funny though!!!
Jeremy (Fredericksburg VA)
T-Mac needs to stay healthy. Its an 82 game season. Durability is the key.
Ephraim R. (Maple Shade, NJ)
don't forget girls on film.
Steve Bunin (3:37 PM)
Ephraim - hope I pronounced your name right this time --- great call!
Adrian (Chicago)
where's helio?
THE PULSE (3:38 PM)
He's coming up!
Terrance (ATL)
This is awesome! I never knew there was a show on sportsnation on Saturday! What a pleasant surprise.
THE PULSE (3:39 PM)
We're just full of suprises here on SportsNation!
Zach (Leapwood,TN)
Why are the same people getting to ask questions and stuff?
THE PULSE (3:40 PM)
Because they're the only ones that are sending us stuff in. Get us some good questions and we'll try to get it in.
Ephraim R. (Maple Shade, NJ)
it's ok, i'm used to it. there's a town by me, mt. ephraim, that's pronounced with a long e, and that really seems to screw people up. although the pronunciation steve used is the technically correct way to say it.
Terrance (ATL)
We talk and talk and talk.
Brian (Grafton, WI)
What is Zach talking about?
Chris (Brawley CA)
Tell Eric I want him as the new US coach
Brian (Grafton, WI)
Wouldn't bringing Winalda in as coach just continue the dissension that may have gotten Arena un-renewed?
BRENT S (NY NY)
hopefully michael young won't do to rangers what a-rod did when michael becomes a free agent
Adrian (Chicago)
wow its a week past the world cup and were still talking about soccer!!!
THE PULSE (3:45 PM)
Pretty amazing, huh?
Zach (Leapwood,TN)
How do we ask questions to the guests?
THE PULSE (3:45 PM)
Right here Zach. Send them in!!
Terrance (ATL)
I think it was our perfomance more-so than speculation that did Bruce in.
THE PULSE (3:46 PM)
Helio's up next!
Jeremy (Fredericksburg VA)
Lets worry about a new soccer coach later. They Got 4 years till it really matters anyway.
Adrian (Chicago)
wake me up when NFL training camp starts, zzzzzzzzzzzz
Terrance (ATL)
Duhhhh.... Hasn't it started already?!
BRENT S (NY NY)
helio how can you win the points standing passing hornish jr
THE PULSE (3:51 PM)
He's talking about the standings right now.
victor alexandria,la
new york 11 chicago3 Bottom of 7th inning.
THE PULSE (3:52 PM)
Good update Vic.
THE PULSE (3:52 PM)
Good one Jeremy!
Kels (Thomaston, CT)
The 76ers should fire GM Billy King, not trade Allen Iverson. He has left the team with zero cap space, a roster full of overpaid, underachieving, undersized players, and cannot turn around now and get 45 cents on the dollar for one of the greatest players in the game. King is the one who demolished the Iverson era in Philly, not A.I.
THE PULSE (3:54 PM)
We're almost out of time Pulsites!
Terrance (ATL)
Well, its been fun guys but I gotta go. Talk to ya soon. peace!
Ian (Durham)
Good one, Jeremy? Don't you guys know that we need a coach long before the next world cup? We need to have a team ready for the qualifiers in two years, not four.
THE PULSE (3:55 PM)
Wrong Jeremy, Ian! Jeremy from Indiana was on The Pulse!
THE PULSE (3:55 PM)
And we're out Pulsers!
THE PULSE (3:56 PM)
Have a good Saturday!
