| Question 1: Although his team is only 6-3 – a catastrophic record for the Patriots – ESPN is already referring to Matt Cassel as the Patriot’s MVP. Should Tom Brady be scared for his job? |
|||
| Absolutely not. But then again, I said the same thing about Drew Bledsoe after Tom Brady’s first game as his replacement. Matt Cassel will go on to start for another team in the near future. |
Tom Brady has nothing to lose; he has been more dominant then any other quarterback this decade. Matt Cassel will always be a career backup. Plus, Tom has Gisele by his side. | I hope so. I can’t stand Tom Brady because he always seems to get everything he wants without the hard work. Matt Cassel, on the other hand, is a hardworking blue-collar football player. | Cassel is such a elegant and girly name. Brady has nothing to be scared of. When he is healthy again, his manliness will scare Cassel away. |
| Question 2: The MIT athletic department recently received a $1 million gift from the Steinbrenner Foundation to upgrade its athletic stadium. What sport is MIT most likely to excel at? |
|||
| It could be great at any sport so long as the NCAA allows it to build robotic players. Otherwise, I don’t see MIT being a destination for college athletics any time soon. | Is statistics a sport? Although I love the Yankees, Steinbrenner’s money is going to be wasted on a stadium where athletics means nothing. | I would hope the students at MIT are focusing on more important things than sports, considering the fact most of them have brains the size of beach balls. | I just think it’s cute the mascot is an engineer, and all its athletes are scrawny little boys with glasses. |
| Question 3: Joe Montana, Wayne Gretzky and Will Smith’s sons are all members of the Oaks Christian football team in Westlake Village, Calif. Should Oaks Christian price-gouge its games to make money off the star power? |
|||
| People don’t care about pro sports in the Los Angeles area as it is; why would they turn up to watch the sons of stars? Maybe it could gouge spectators by serving sushi and wheat grass at home games. | If I were them, I would milk the fans for every dollar they have. Where else are you going to have the possibility of getting autographs and photos with high profile stars like those? | They should just sign autographs as a fundraiser. | What ever happened to the old-school style of raising money: bake sales? |
| Question 4: The UNF women’s basketball team will face off against FSU Nov. 18 at the UNF Arena. How big of a game is this for UNF? |
|||
| I think at this early juncture of the season, the outcome of college basketball games has diminished importance. With that said, a win against FSU is never a small thing in any sport. | It’s big for the women’s basketball team to show how it can compete against a top-notch school like FSU. If UNF can win, it is only one step closer to getting UNF noticed when it comes to basketball. | It all depends on how well our team can do against the Seminoles. If UNF can hang in there with FSU, then it’s big. | Nov. 18! That’s my favorite day of the year: Bagel Appreciation day. |
