THE PULSE

Ted (Boston,MA)

The Pulse is on!GO BC!Beat Kansas!

Steve Dallas, TX via New Orleans

Pulse, greetings from New Orleans. I am leaving for Jamaica in a couple of hours on a holiday cruise. You guys have a fun time without me.

John, Boise,ID

Is Boise State for real? Me thinks not, i.e. schedule,conference etc,etc.This game with OU was a feel warm and fuzzy gimme. Your take please.

Nick (Long Island)

Why was Marques Colston snubbed from the NFC Pro Bowl roster? He put up great numbers and he was only a rookie

THE PULSE

  (1:02 PM)

We'll be talking NBA/A.I., Bobby Knight and her pursuit of the men's hoops wins record, NFL and its Pro Bowl game. Send us your comments! We want to know what's on your mind!

Danny (Kansas City,MO)

Not so fast Ted,the game hasn't started yet.Go KU baby!

Bryan (Baltimore)

Who wins eagles or cowboys

THE PULSE

  (1:03 PM)

Check out our poll on ESPN.com's NFL page and vote on that very question!

Donnie (Cleveland,OH)

I can't wait for BC/KU and then the the big one OSU/UF. Go Bucks!

Bryan (Baltimore)

Are the eagles better off without mcnabb he stays hurt alot

Dan Westbrook CT

Do you think UCONN is doing the right thing by buidling thier confidence before they get to the tough part of thier schedule?

dan roth, atlanta, ga

I really like Fran Fraschilla in the booth. I was a pediatric resident in 1992 and had the chance to meet him in the Potter Bldg when his son David was sick on the second floor and Fran was an asst at PC. My question is when he plans on returning to coaching where he belongs.

colt (lima)

Allen Iverson will make an instant impact on the Nuggets. That is all I need to say.

Matt (New York)

So, guys, what do you think of The Answer's coming out party in Denver?

THE PULSE

  (1:06 PM)

We'll talk to Kiki Vandeweghe about that later in the show! Stay tuned.

Tim (Orlando,FL)

Kansas beat BC in a close one.OSU is too tough for Florida,Pulse.

Kelli Manning Mobile, Al.

Coach Knight will not be the all-time wins leader in NCAA basketball, Pat Head Summit is. She is the leader of both men and women's coaches for wins, so why has no one mentioned it?

Nick (Columbus)

Evryone is saying A.I. has a chance to help Denver go a long way, PLEASE A.I. i the T.. of the NBA. All about him

Ephraim R. (Maple Shade, NJ)

it almost looked like iverson smiled last night. almost.

Chris (Texas)

I think its going to help out denver alot. When Melo's back, They are going to tear it up!! Denver will go to the playoffs this year.

Yusuf (Austin)

I think A.I. will have a nice career with the Nuggets.

Ryan (Medford,MA)

Should be a great game with Boston College playing Kansas. Both teams are coming off a couple of blow outs vs cupcakes.

Jeremy (Lowell, Indiana)

I just don't believe A.I and 'melo can work together, just give it a couple of weeks.

Nick (Columbus)

They would of made it to the playoffs without A.I. but they still dont have the defense to get past the second round

Pete (San Diego,CA)

Rock Chalk Jayhawk!Let's GO Kansas!!!

Bryan (Baltimore)

My Question is when they get all of the players back who will be able to run with them

Eli (tallmadge,ohio)

I think that carmello will be iversons igoudala

Lamont (Alexandria, VA)

I think if one person decides to defer to the other, A.I. and Melo could have something special

Will (Clearwater,FL)

BC-KU?What about the other big game today OSU-UF?Who ya got pulse.

THE PULSE

  (1:15 PM)

I'm sitting on the fence on that one. I am looking forward to watching Oden play against his first tough, big man test.

Eric,Tn.

The Denver Thuggets don't stand a chance. Not in the west anyway.

Eli (tallmadge,ohio)

I think LeBron James should be on the scoring list

Bryan (Baltimore)

Oden looks more like a nba power forward is he big enough to play center in the pros

Eric,Tn.

The Knicks are actually winning games since the brawl. who'd of thought.

Rob (Baltimore)

i think gilbery arenas is the best player in the nba this season he will lead in scoring

Lamont (Alexandria, VA)

The West however is a very deep conference with San Antonio, Dallas, Phoenix and other teams that are really good

Ephraim R. (Maple Shade, NJ)

speaking of beating KU, can't wait for our new jersey football scarlet knights to whoop on the jaybirdies.

Daniel (Gaithersburg,Maryland)

I Love the Wizards but after what they did last night just makes me want to love them more.I mean stopping the suns 15 game winning streak.That shows that the Wizards are a worthy of being NBA champions

Joe (Syracuse,NY)

BC-KU is your Lunch meal for starters.OSU-UF is your Main Course pulse.Enjoy!

Ryan (Medford,MA)

Eph,Wrong Kansas team,bro.

luke NC

The nuggets will make it to the finals and get a ring if they pass good, get back on defense, and use there skills correctly they have.

alex (ky)

how is carmelo iverson's igoudala, carmelo is ten times better then igoudala

luke NC

A.I. is the greatest gaurd in the nba and always will be. Him and Carmelo will make it to the finals and get a ring. The back court of A.I. and boykins is to good along with Carmelos 31 points per game.

alex (ky)

tubby smith can recruit he had the number one recruiting class 3 years ago but the players didn't turn at the way they should of and he is getting a good recruit class this year

George (New York City,NY)

Serve me up some of that Joe!Go Gators!

Ephraim R. (Maple Shade, NJ)

Ehh. Would you believe they're all the same to me?

Bryan (Baltimore)

why is Koby hateing on areanas

THE PULSE

  (1:25 PM)

Good question. I'm not sure Kobe can talk about another player taking crazy shots or shooting too much.

Marty (OH)

I hate OSU basketball but i cant deny that they look pretty good this year but i dont think they can win it all due to lack of experince(sp) on their roster.

STEV (OREGON)

IS A.I THE BEST PLAER ON THE NUGGETS?

THE PULSE

  (1:25 PM)

With Melo out right now, I'd say so!

Ryan (Medford,MA)

Yeah,I can see the confusion of teams.

Bryan (Baltimore)

alot of talk about the suns what about the spurs are they the team to beat in the west

Lamont (Alexandria, VA)

Even with A.I. and Melo, who is going to stop Tim Duncan, the Suns, or the Mavs on that Denver team. U cant just outscore teams when u get to the playoffs.

Brandon (Philadelphia)

No way those two can work together

Lamont (Alexandria, VA)

Gilbert Arenas did promise the Phoenix coach that he was going to destroy him for the World Games incident and he responded with 54 last night

Wingo (Deptford, NJ)

So, what's going on today on the Pulse...anybody going to be using my questions and attributng them to other people again this week?

THE PULSE

  (1:31 PM)

Say what?! We don't do that.

THE PULSE

  (1:32 PM)

We get a lot of people sending in the same questions. That might be it.

Marty (OH)

Areanas for MVP

Lamont (Alexandria, VA)

Since A.I. has been traded, what other superstar should go to another team? My pick is Garnett.

Allen (Denver,CO)

I am the best player on the Nuggets right now!

Ephraim R. (Maple Shade, NJ)

Is there anything quicker than Philly turning on a star player that leaves town? I mean, once you're out, you are *dead* to them.

Lewis (Miami,FL)

Happy Festivus!

RYAN ROWELL (SLC UTAH)

LAST COUPLE OF YEARS THE MOST UNDERATED PLAYER IN THE NBA... DIDN'T GET VOTED INTO THE ALL STAR GAME. ARENAS IS FINALLY GETTING SOME ATTENTION... IT WILL BE CLOSE BETWEEN HE AND KOBE, BUT I DO GIVE GILBERT THE EDGE IN THE SCORING DEPARTMENT... HE IS FUN TO WATCH...

adrian (abilene, Tx)

if carmello and iverson can learn what it takes to be a duo and work together i think the nuggets can be very succsessfull

John (Chapel Hill,NC)

To Kansas fans, good luck today from a UNC fan.You will need it.

Joe (Staten Island, NY)

knicks play like this they will definitly win the division

alex (ky)

i think rashard lewis will get traded to another team after he returns from his injury it doesnt seem like he wants to play there anymore or it could be kg

Brandon (Philadelphia)

Who is to blame for the poor record of the 76ers? coach? players?

Yusuf (pflugerville,tx)

I Think Melo and A.I. will go to the nba finals!

Lamont (Alexandria, VA)

Billy King hands down!!!!! There should be no other answer to that

alex (ky)

It should be Billy King he messed up on draft picks and brought in chris webber and his injurys and huge contract

THE PULSE

  (1:44 PM)

Andy Katz on The Pulse right now. He'll be talking OSU-Florida, Bob Knight and a bunch more.

THE PULSE

  (1:44 PM)

What does everyone think about Knight?

THE PULSE

  (1:44 PM)

Good coach? Bad? Would you want to play for him?

Ephraim R. (Maple Shade, NJ)

I should also add about Philly that no city is quicker to embrace a new star or just hard-playing jobber, no matter the sport. Of course, it's kind of a creepy, dangerous embrace, like Lennie in Of Mice and Men.

Yusuf (Pville,TX)

Bob Knight teaches disipline

Logan (Boston)

I dont agree with kelli's previous comment, coach knight will get the record today his team will try as hard as they can to get their coach that win. GO TEXAS TECH!!!

Lamont (Alexandria, VA)

you shouldnt allow former Duke players into the front office!!!! LOL

Yusuf (Pville,TX)

wILL bOB knight be the all time coach?

Wingo (Deptford, NJ)

Philly's embrace with its' stars is probably more emblematic of Sir John Falstaff in Henry V, and his relationship with Prince Hal. Drunken, overly emotional, and eventually repudiated by the principle character for no real good reason at all. Screw AI.

Troy (Columbus,OHIO)

WHO DO U THINK WILL WIN OSU OR FU(B-BALL)

BOB KNIGHT (Lubbock,Texas)

I am the all time coach!!~

Wingo (Deptford, NJ)

Wait until you see us embrace Greg Oden when the Sixers get the number one pick...

C.Webb (Philly)

We suck more with out A.I. WE NEED TO FIRE OUR COACH HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

alex (ky)

C.Webb ur old go away

Ephraim R. (Maple Shade, NJ)

good show, wingo.

Ron Burgundy (San Diego)

I play jazz flute.

Greg Oden (Columbus,OH)

76ers,Celtics or other teams have to wait to have me.

Bricel (Bronx, New York)

it's weird watching Allen Iverson play in a Nuggets uniform but I'm happy for him and I hope they do well by the way GO NETS!!!!!

Wingo (Deptford, NJ)

Am I on Mars, or do the Sixers and Flyers have one combined win for the month of December? ANd this month is almost over, too? wow...

Logan (Boston)

heyy i just wanna say to everyone that works with espn to have happy holidays

THE PULSE

  (1:55 PM)

Happy Holidays to all the Pulsites out there!

Jeff (Iowa)

Greg, I think your college team will be better than the 76ers or Celtics next year. Stay in school.

Richard (Nashville,TN)

When will espn reccognize that the winningest NCAA coach in Division 1 AA is not Dean Smith it is Pat Summitt so Bobby Knight is not on the brink of history.

THE PULSE

  (1:58 PM)

Sure he is. He's on the brink of becoming the all-time division I leader in wins for men's basketball. That's an accomplishment.

Sal (MS)

the Heat dont need you Oden cause Desil is coming bak sooner or later so stay in OSU

michael (st. louis)

by the way fans in PHI, ATL, BOS, NY; oden's gonna be in school for at least 3 years, he's too much like duncan in his mentality

Wingo (Deptford, NJ)

Hey, where's Plaxico Burress and Jerremy Shockey this week? They've been so quiet, it's like someone just walked over their graves...and they were wearing Eagles jerseys too...

Jeff (Iowa)

Um, Richard, it's the men's record. They keep them separate, just like bathrooms. Relax.

Wingo (Deptford, NJ)

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....from Georgetown, #3, Allen Iverson!!!! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Jabo (Arkansas)

Will the Razorbacks beat Wisconsin in the Capitol One Bowl?

Ephraim R. (Maple Shade, NJ)

Hah, they are quiet. I'm thinking they're afraid a Mora will choke them out if they say anything.

Wingo (Deptford, NJ)

Fly Eagles Fly, baybee....your next Dallas, and I got my spit shield on too....

Jeff (Iowa)

I'm guessing pretty soon we'll be hearing Eagle fans calling for them to keep Garcia and trade McNabb.

matt (san diego,CA)

Bob knight will break the record.

Jeff (Iowa)

If a mid-major wins a bowl game and no one is watching, did it really happen?

martin (alexandria,va)

where is barry ziedo going

Mark Rochester, NY

I think that the buffalo bills have a good chance at making the playoffs do you think that they can pull it off?

Tom (KC)

Who is Barry Ziedo?

Wingo (Deptford, NJ)

BRIAN WESTBROOK GOT SCREWED!!!!!!!!!!!

Ephraim R. (Maple Shade, NJ)

i'll say ziedo is going to the miedos.

martin (alexandria,va)

i think tom brady was the biggest pro bowl snube

Shawn (Boston)

No i think that Westbrook was the biggest snube

Tom (KC)

What's a snube? Can you eat it? Yes, I'm an English teacher.

Sal (MS)

BARRY ZIEDO IS GOIN TO THE METS LIKE IT OR NOT

Jeff (Iowa)

Why the fuss over the Pro Bowl? Does anyone even watch it?

MATT (PLano,TX)

Duh bob knight will break the record cause if he doesnt that means his team can only win 1 game and that would leave him with a tie so ya he breaks it

Wingo (Deptford, NJ)

Anybody want a piece of fantasy advice? Anybody who calls themself a guru knows practically nothing more than you do. Save yourself the money, gurus and their inside information is no different than what you can get in the Sunday sports pages...

Akash (NYC)

biggest Pro Bowl snub is Kerry Rhodes who. he has more tackle,sack and int then john lynch and troy polamalu.

Ephraim R. (Maple Shade, NJ)

lord, do i hate tom coughlin. accorsi puts together super bowl caliber talent, and they're coached by the worst play caller in the NFL, whose team-discipline specialty turns out to be nothing but a myth. as big of a giants fan as i am, i'm rooting for them to lose the last two games to get TC fired.

Wingo (Deptford, NJ)

A snube, and a Ziedo. Have a very dyslexic Christmas, to you and yours...

Eric Karabell (Bristol CT)

Wingo, I know where you live.

THE PULSE

  (2:13 PM)

Did anyone just see that last second shot by Kevin Durant against Tennessee? Tied the game up to go to OT.

Alex (Brooklyn)

Iverson took some weird shots last night

Jeff (Iowa)

I think NFL coaches get way too much credit when they win, and way too much blame when they lose. I can't stand Coughlin, but he didn't cause the injuries, he didn't throw the INTs, he didn't drop the passes, and he didn't fumble the football. More blame needs to be assessed to the players, and not the coaches.

Shawn (Boston)

Yeah but he did good for not playing for a little and shot 15 times and made 9 of them and 2 turnovers and 10 assists thats what the Nuggets will need from him when they have melo back

Jeff (Iowa)

Iverson takes some weird shots every night.

MATT (PLano,TX)

today will be a big test for oden joe kim noah needs to play a career game for him and his team to pull out a win

matt (san diego)

chargers are a great team.

Wingo (Deptford, NJ)

I can't wait until Carmelo wants to gouge out Iverson's eyes for taking 60 shots a night...

Shawn (Boston)

I only Wish the Celtics have got Iverson

Ephraim R. (Maple Shade, NJ)

I would disagree. For example: How in the WORLD do the Giants not EVER use Tiki Barber and Brandon Jacobs in the same sets? OMG. Look how this works for the Saints. It's simple, it's obvious, and it would have just killed teams this year. He abandons the run game for no reason. He never uses decoys. The false start and late hit penalties happen accross the board, not just with one or two players.

Shawn (Boston)

Iverson is not going to be a hog like in Philly he has MELO CAMBy Smith

Wingo (Deptford, NJ)

Will someone go get Texas out of their dressing room and tell them overtime has started? Thanks so much.

THE PULSE

  (2:20 PM)

We'll give 'em a call.

Jeff (Iowa)

I wonder how fast Carmelo would backpedal if Earl Boykins was chasing him...

Tom (KC)

You're blaming Coughlin for the false starts? What's he doing, yelling BOO right before the snap?

Tom (Raleigh,NC)

First off Iverson was never a ballhog to begin with,he did not have a great supporting cast in Philly and Billy Knights to blame for that,secondly he will not hog it in Denver because this is his chance,he wants to win

Ephraim R. (Maple Shade, NJ)

Yes, it means they're poorly coached.

Ephraim R. (Maple Shade, NJ)

I'll also add that the Giants have been plagued with injuries since the day he stepped in the door. This may be anecdotal, but it seems like the best thing that ever happened to Fred Taylor's health was TC leaving Jacksonville.

Wingo (Deptford, NJ)

How bad is Eli Manning?!? Think the Giants would rather have Philip Rivers, Shawne Merriman, and Nate Kaeding?

Shawn Haley (Boston)

He was 2nd in scoring this year until they traded him and he was like 6th or 10th in assists

Eric,Tn.

I agree with Ephraim. Brandon Jacobs was running THROUGH the Cowboys and then they take him out when they're at the five yardline in favor of a pass play by ole reliable Eli.

Tom (KC)

Now Coughlin has bad karma, too? I think you're blaming a coach for an underachieving team filled with malcontents.

Shawn Haley (Boston)

The Chargers are glad to have RIvers i would to i like Rivers more than manning plus he is such a baby crying over no i dont want to go there now he wish's he is there with Gates Mccardell and L.T.

Tom (Raleigh,NC)

Bad chemistry=Giants

Jeff (Iowa)

I can't believe I'm defending Tom Coughlin, but the man did take an expansion team to the AFC finals, with far less talent.

Brad (Baton Rouge, Louisiana)

Tiki is retiring! give him some TD opportunities! Axe Coughlin! Axe Coughlin!

Jeff (Iowa)

I think Brad has Tiki on his fantasy team. Me, too.

Ephraim R. (Maple Shade, NJ)

Yea, he's been living off that for quite awhile now.

Wingo (Deptford, NJ)

All week before the Eagles game, the Giants couldn't shut their mouths. Talktalktalk, and big bad Brandon Jacobs got popped by Hall-of-Famer in-waiting Brian Dawkins, and he coughed up the rock. The Giants are done.

Tom (Raleigh,NC)

NFC East could have the best group of coaches in a long time for one division,in this oder:Parcells,Gibbs,Coughlin,and Reid

Eric,Tn.

The Chargers still have to contend with the curse of Marty. I don't think even LDT can run pass that.

Brad (Baton Rouge, Louisiana)

You're right Jeff, but I still think its ridiculous to give Jacobs ALL the TD opportunities. Tiki is a great receiver...if you're gonna pass in the red zone Tiki should be in the game...bottom line

Wingo (Deptford, NJ)

Giants need to win my homies!!!!

Larry (Omaha)

If we complained about our boss, we would be fired instantly. Shockey, Barber, Burress, Strahan, etc., all need to shut their yaps and play football.

Tom (KC)

Marty's cursed, eh? Did Coughlin coach him, too?

MATT (PLano,TX)

Since texas lost is this a tennese comback or texas fallout? or both?

Shawn (Boston)

Tennese Has just been on fire since they Beat Oklahoma State

Jeff (Iowa)

I'm a Vikings fan. I just wish I had a team still in playoff contention. Who the hell is Tarvaris Jackson, and is Matt Schaub a free agent in 2007?

Wingo (Deptford, NJ)

Somebody posing as myself...now I've seen it all

Only1Wingo (Deptford, NJ)

Help! I have now been a victim of identity theft. The artist formerly known as Wingo will now be known as Only1Wingo. I don't have a cool metrosexual symbol for my moniker yet, though...

Larry (Omaha)

If Texas lost, it's a Merry Christmas.

Eric,Tn.

I think Tank johnson should be traded to the Bengals so he can be with his kind.

Shawn (Boston)

Well do you expect Brad Johnson do lead your team untill he is 60? \

Brad (Baton Rouge, Louisiana)

Schaub is restricted which means ur vikes will have to give up prob a 1st round pick to get him

Only1Wingo (Deptford, NJ)

I think Tank Johnson played Scarface - The World Is Yours on playstation one too many times...

Jeff (Iowa)

Hey Wingo, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Bob (Cleveland, Oh)

good one eric!

Jeff (Iowa)

Did you hear the Denver Police Department has doubled its number of cops on duty this weekend with the Bengals coming to town?

Only1Wingo (Deptford, NJ)

What's up with all of the hoops today? Where's the live guests? I think I'm gonna pound some Red Bull and Ketel One now, to get ready to for my X-mas shopping experience.

THE PULSE

  (2:42 PM)

Yeah, we got off track a little bit there, with that good Texas-Tennessee game.

THE PULSE

  (2:42 PM)

Enjoy the heart palpatations Wingo after those energy drinks!

Shawn (Boston)

Yeah that was a good Game for Lofton

Jeff (Iowa)

Wingo, while you're out, maybe you can find a couple of pitchers for the Phillies.

Only1Wingo (Deptford, NJ)

Who would win in Tombstone, the Earp brothers and Doc Holliday or the Bengals 53-man roster? And the hoops stuff is cool too, can't be easy booking people before the holidays...

Eric,Tn.

Thanks Bob!!

Shawn (Boston)

IF Tennessee is not Ranked i will stop watching College B-ball

Eric,Tn.

Marty will pop the tires on that Chargers bandwagon, belive me.

Only1Wingo (Deptford, NJ)

What's it, yellow tie Saturday at ESPN? I used to go to a bar that would serve $1 shots for Happy Hour on Fridays if you walked in with a tie...but they'd cut the tie off when you walked in and nailed it to the walls...great stuff.

Brad (Baton Rouge, Louisiana)

Marty doesn't call the plays! Unless he suddenly takes over the playcalling...Cam Cameron will pop those tires

Jeff (Iowa)

Now Shawn, fibbing this soon before Christmas is not wise.

Matt (Plano,TX)

oden will have his handful with noah. but for florida to win noah is gonna have to have a career game to win

Brad (Baton Rouge, Louisiana)

I hope someone pops the colts tires again..so I can see who Peyton Manning will blame this year

Brad (Baton Rouge, Louisiana)

Go Saints! Drew Brees for President, Will Smith for Secretary of Defense, Marques Colston for Man of the Year

Only1Wingo (Deptford, NJ)

Texas should have won!

Shawn (Boston)

Oden will Own!!!!!!! Noah

Kurt (Detroit)

Im one of the many who's walking out sunday at the l Lions game

Eric,Tn.

If Tony Dungy can't get the Colts to the Superbowl maybe they should consider hiring John Gruden next year. He's good at taking Dungy teams to the Superbowl!

Larry (Omaha)

Some of my favorite two-word combinations -- dinner's ready, beer's cold, Texas loses.

Eric,Tn.

Why bother Kurt? buing the ticket is only helping pay Matt Millen's salary.

Jeff (Iowa)

Bob Sanders is the Colts' MVP. With him, they can stop the run. Without, that defense is really, really bad.

Brad (Baton Rouge, Louisiana)

Pretty soon the Lions job will be just like the Raiders job, vacant every year!

Fernando (Austin)

I wish eveyone would stop hating on Texas! It isnt our fault that we have a huge recruiting pool and we seem to always be in the top of thenation.

Matt (Plano,TX)

i think their will be tension between A.I. and melo. 2 stars is fine but when A.I and melo meet on the court selfishness rules all

bob (cleveland oh)

bob sanders is underrated! bob sanders 4 president!

Mark (da cube)

Hey Pulse, do you and Buzz have bad blood or you guys good friends?

THE PULSE

  (3:00 PM)

Nah, Buzz and I are cool. He's pretty chill.

Larry (Omaha)

Hey Fernando, one national title in 35 years hardly qualifies Texas at being top in the nation. And, Barnes is really racking up those national titles in basketball. And you wonder why most of the nation thinks Texas fans are obnoxious.

Brad (Baton Rouge, Louisiana)

Well Fernando if Texas was playing in the SEC they wouldnt be atop the nation because my Tigers would be whippin em every year

THE PULSE

  (3:01 PM)

Wingo, you're on The Pulse right now!

THE PULSE

  (3:02 PM)

Ephraim, you're on now too!

Only1Wingo (Deptford, NJ)

Just saw it. Thanks guys. That's hot.

THE PULSE

  (3:03 PM)

Nice comment, man. Hilarious.

Only1Wingo (Deptford, NJ)

Welcome to the Jersey Edition of the Pulse. Can I get name in red now?

Brad (Baton Rouge, Louisiana)

One player can't stop the run, but he sure can help! That team needs some size on D

Ephraim R. (Maple Shade, NJ)

very cool. they said my name right, too. bonus.

Matt (Plano,TX)

Boise states only undeafted because they didn't play anyone oklahoma is gonna stomp them.

Only1Wingo (Deptford, NJ)

Oh no, the missus just walked in. Can't wait to tell her I didn't go X-mas shopping yet. This ought to be comfortable.

Buddy (Selah, Wa)

Biggest individual seaon in NFL history......Peyton Manning's 49 TD tosses......O.J.'s 2000 in 14 games....or LT this season? Weigh in!

Jeff (Iowa)

Who's on the Pulse now? I'm away from the TV.

THE PULSE

  (3:06 PM)

We've got Chris Peterson, head coach of Boise State.

Brad (Baton Rouge, Louisiana)

Run for your life Wingo!

Only1Wingo (Deptford,NJ)

Wingo is Back!

Jeff (Iowa)

Wingo, surely your wife would appreciate your pithy comments and your newfound celebrity.

Jeff (Iowa)

As a Nebraska fan, Boise State stomping Oklahoma in a bowl game would be a fantastic way to ring in the New Year.

Matt (Plano,TX)

jeff oklahoma is gonna stomp the broncos and i hate ou

Jeff (Iowa)

I think a team like Boise State could compete in the Big 12, Pac 10 and ACC. They may not win the league, but they are going to be very competitive.

Will (Missouri)

Do you guys want Bobby Knight to pass the win total? (Even though he probably will)

Buddy (Selah, Wa)

Bobby Knight could choke my kid anytime.

Jeff (Iowa)

OU will probably win, but I think it will be a close game. I'm not convinced Stoops is a really good big game coach, his national title nonwithstanding.

Chuck, West Valley City, UT

Do the Ravens defense have enough manpower to shut down the elite teams in the NFL?

Brad (Baton Rouge, Louisiana)

I could care less about Bob Knight and his wins, I just hope he throws a chair in celebration

Shawn (Boston)

Yeah they have the best DEFENSE!!!!!!!!!!!

Jeff (Iowa)

My uncle is a Hall of Fame basketball coach here in Iowa, and he has attended Indiana camps over the years. He says Knight is the best game coach in history. I would tend to agree.

bob (cleveland)

Ravens don't even have enough manower to fire their sucky coach!

Only1Wingo (Deptford, NJ)

I still say that Bobby Knight should celebrate in an equally offensive and unforgettable way. Like punching Stephen Hawking in the face. True Shock and Awe.

jonathan Seattle, WA

Why do the Seahawks always lose to the bad teams in the league like Arizona San Fran then win against better teams like New york Denver and St. Louis?

bob (cleveland)

Judging on how good Bobby Knight is at throwing chairs, he could make a good quarterback for the Oakland Raiders!

Lebron James (Oakland,CA)

Bob Knight is the bestcoach ever priod.

Will (Missouri)

Seahawks get too confident on the worse teams, but try harder on the better teams.

Brad (Baton Rouge Louisiana)

Because Seattle is too inconsistent. Plus I think going to the SB hurt them because they think they can beat up on those bad teams and they cant

Jeff (Iowa)

Look into Bob Knight's relationship with Landon Turner, who was paralyzed years ago. That will tell you all you need to know about him as a person.

Jeff (Iowa)

Time to run, folks. Got to clean the house for Christmas. Have a great holiday and a safe new year!

THE PULSE

  (3:26 PM)

Eric,Tn.

Good one bob!!

Will (Missouri)

See ya, Jeff!

Brad (Baton Rouge Louisiana)

later Jeff, You too dude!

bob (cleveland oh)

Seahawks and Super Bowl should not even be mentioned in the same sentence! They had their chance last year but blew it to the (hate to mention it) Steelers.

Brad (Baton Rouge Louisiana)

Shouldn't have given S. Alexander all that money cuz now he's taking it easy...like he always did before last year

Ephraim R. (Maple Shade, NJ)

if anyone knows about not going to the superbowl, it's a browns fan.

Andrew ((California))

UCLA will win the NCAA Championship this year!They are unbeatable!!!

Brad (Baton Rouge, Louisiana)

Well Andrew I know it won't be LSU...we're not looking too good

Mike (Philly)

Eagles will crush the Cowgirls and go to the Super Bowl.

Eric,Tn.

Superbowl ring for Garcia....Campbells chunky for McNabb!!

Will (Missouri)

Wisconsin will win the NCAA Championship!

Ali (Westlake,OH)

They are very dangerous.

Will (Missouri)

Ravens will win the Super Bowl, and I thought McNabb was out

Shawn (Boston)

Chargers: 21 Ravens:17

Andrew ((California))

Wisconsin has no chance while UCLA around!!

Only1Wingo (Deptford, NJ)

I gotta roll guys; I hope everyone here at the Pulse has a great and safe holiday. Beat Dallas bay-bee, woohoo! The opinions expressed by Wingo and Only1Wingo cannot be re-used without the expressed written consent of Scott R. from Deptford, NJ. Hahaha....

Brad (Baton Rouge, Louisiana)

Dan Canova (New Jersey)

My favorite team is the New York Jets, in your opinion, if the Jets make it to the playoffs, what is there chances in the playoffs??

Dan (New Jersey)

hello everyone

THE PULSE

  (3:46 PM)

So Pulsites, as a Christmas present, if we could get one athlete on The Pulse, who would you want on the show?

Buddy (Selah, Wa)

Anybody else think Greg Oden looks older than Robert Parrish ever did?

Dan (New Jersey)

Ladanian Tomlinson, best player in the NFL right now

Brad (Baton Rouge, Louisiana)

I think the Jets are too young and inexperienced to make it through the first round...but considering everyone picked them to be the worst team in the league this year, id say the future looks bright...All in all a good solid team but need a few more stars to shine

Dan (New Jersey)

he should end up with at least more than 35 touchdowns by seasons' end

Dan (New Jersey)

i agree with you Brad even though I am a big Jets fan

bob (cleveland)

the underrated brandodn lloyd.

Dan (New Jersey)

Who is rookie of the year?? my opinion offense: Reggie Bush and defense: AJ Hawk or Demeco Ryans, hahaha no Mario Williams

Howie, White Plains, NY

Broncos offense is different than last year. How come nobody talks about Kubiak being replaced by Heimerdinger, OL having all the injuries and no Putzier. Bronco offense always depended on a great catching TE, see Sharpe, Shannon. Why does everyone ignore these factors and blame Plummer?

Brad (Berthelot)

I think if the Jets can get a guy like Michael Turner and then draft a few more defensive guys they will be potent for years to come

THE PULSE

  (3:53 PM)
