flgreen Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Tomlinson: Jets 'absolutely' will win Super Bowl Jets Blog By JUSTIN TERRANOVA Last Updated: 2:59 PM, June 28, 2010 Posted: 2:57 PM, June 28, 2010 LaDainian Tomlinson may soon be a Rex Ryan favorite. The veteran running back, whom the Jets signed this offseason, seems to share the confidence his head coach has displayed on many occasions. Tomlinson was asked in an ESPN interview if he was going to win a Super Bowl, like fellow former Chargers Drew Brees and Rodney Harrison. "I'll win a Super Bowl," Tomlinson said. Will that be with the Jets, with whom he has a two-year contract? "Absolutely," Tomlinson said. Some have made the Jets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadwayJoe12 Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 He is supposed to say something along the lines of: "I think this team will win a superbowl and I am so happy to be part of it and to contribute to the team's ultimate goal. A championship." But not everyone is Derek Jeter. Simply for the fact that he's able to string words together in a coherent and intelligible manner, words that aren't fed to him by a public relations agent, is really good enough for me. He wants to win, he's keeping his nose clean and out of trouble (legal trouble), he's working hard...shoot, that's really all I can ask for from the majority of these players. Reading into 'I' instead of 'We' in an off-the-cuff remark to one of a handful of interviews he's given, is just over-analyzing due to the boredom of the offseason.

Jetsfan80 Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Garb is scared. In all the years I've been on this board, I have NEVER seen Garb take the offensive as much as she has this offseason. Usually she just defends her Patriots in threads where her team is mentioned to defend their honor, which is to be expected. But to pick apart the emotional responses of Jets fans to things said by Jets players and media members as much as she has tells me she's desperately hoping for the Jets to take a major fall. The smug statements are starting to get REALLY old and embarrassing from a once-proud Patriots fan. But I guess I suppose that after taking an absolute pummeling in a home playoff game (Brady's first home playoff loss), having a so-so offseason and watching the Jets make move after move to improve the roster, this is the response we should have expected.

If LT had said "I believe this team (Jets) has a good chance to win Super Bowl XLV," it would have been one thing. But to say "absolutely" that the Jets will win the Super Bowl probably jinxes them. Confidence is good; over-confidence is the kiss of death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE ILK Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 "We're gonna win the game. I guarantee it." 7 Athletes Who Called Their Shots Only the most elite athletes win championships. But only the most elite of those elite athletes have the balls to proclaim that they will accomplish a particular feat, and subsequently deliver on that claim. 7.) Owen Nolan's Pointer Goal At '97 All-Star Game Scoring a goal on an NHL goaltender is no easy task. Now try doing that against the best goaltender in the world, during the All-Star game, immediately after calling your shot...by pointing to the net...exactly where you plan on shooting it...and scoring. Owen Nolan accomplished that in the 1997 NHL All-Star game on Dominik Hasek, then the league's most dominant goaltender. Nolan picked up the puck in the neutral zone, skated towards the net, pointed to the upper corner, and fired a wrist shot over Hasek's shoulder. By the way, it was his third of the game, and in front of his hometown crowd in San Jose. kSb_5PHRb1w 6.) Petr Sykora Proclaims Game Winner Will Be His Calling your shot prior to a game is bad ass enough as it is, but calling your shot mid-game and also in overtime in a championship game is the stuff of legends (hint). Petr Sykora did exactly that in the 2008 Stanley Cup Finals against the Detroit Red Wings. Sykora, a winger for the Pittsburgh Penguins, had already played 5 periods of intense hockey when he leaned over to Pierre Maguire, a hockey analyst with the privelige of setting up shop between each teams benches. Maquire had made some comments regarding Sykora's play during the game, and how it had been sub-par. Off-air, Sykora told Maguire that he would score the game winner in the third overtime of the game, and he did. The Penguins would not go on to win the cup, however. 4vZc6ltPH8A 5.) Modest Cassius Clay Guarantees Win Over Sonny Liston Sonny Liston was a bad-ass. The dude doesn't even have a birth certificate, a fact that puts him in line with bad asses like Genghis Khan, axes, lightning bolts, and Jason Bourne. Cassius Clay was definitely the underdog. Even so, he predicted that he would knock Liston out in the 8th round. Clay even went as far as taunting Liston to his face at Liston's own training sessions. Liston refused to fight in the 7th, guaranteeing Clay the win. The next day, Clay changed his name to Muhammad Ali. uzWynvBLJ4I 4.) Plaxico Burress Apparently Makes Deal With Devil The NFL's 2007 was dominated by the Patriots. Everything New England was top dog on every sports site, TV show, blog, newspaper, fantasy league, and so on. Going undefeated in the regular season and scoring over 500 points will do that. Tom Brady and Randy Moss broke records, their defense took a big dump on every teams face and their un-smiling coach never broke character. There was no question they would be considered the most dominant dynasty of all time. But Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress didn't buy it. As he entered the stadium for practice, reporters asked for his thoughts. He replied, "23-17," and walked in. It was a prediction that shocked everyone. Tom Brady smuggly laughed it off, saying "I wish he had given us more credit. Like 45-42 or something." He laughed and the reporters laughed, the taste of Brady's ball-sac still strong in their mouths. Burress went on to catch the game-winning touchdown. His prediction was incorrect though. The Giants scored 17 points, but the Patriots only scored 14. We doubt he cared. pWPjHAqrDb0 3.) Joe Namath Guarantees Super Bowl III Victory It hadn't even been named "The Superbowl" until that point, but football fans from across America went ape-**** over it, nonetheless, most likely due to the rivalry between the AFL and the NFL. The best of each league met for the championship to determine the best football team in the world. During the media frenzy that surrounded the upcoming game between the New York Jets and Baltimore Colts, emotions ran high. Jets quarterback Joe Namath had been the focus of much of the hatred from Colts fans. After dealing with constant heckling that spanned several days, he made a bold prediction. "We will win the game, I guarantee you," he said to a heckler. Reporters immediately printed the quote in newspapers across America. Namath backed up his promise with 206 passing yards. He did not throw a touchdown in the 16-7 victory, but won MVP. We couldn't find a video of his guarantee, so we just thought we'd show how much of a maverick he is with the ladies. Gc65NC44dSk 2.) Mark Messier: "We'll Win Tonight" If hockey was popular in the United States, (and it should be, dammit, it's an amazing sport) more people would know the name Mark Messier. With his accomplishments and skill, he should be considered one of the greatest leaders of all time. Hockey is a game of toughness, both mentally and physically. The coveted "C" on a players jersey commands more respect in hockey than any other sport. That rhetoric applies best during the playoffs, which take months to finish because each series is a best of 7. In the Eastern Conference Finals, Messier was Captain of the New York Rangers who found themselves trailing the New Jersey Devils 3 games to 2. In a statement prior to game 6, Messier did not predict a win. He guaranteed it. When trailing in a series and facing elimination, it takes gigantic balls to make that statement, especially in hockey. Players on the opposing team take that statement personally, and play angry, murder-themed hockey. Messier delivered the win personally by scoring a hat-trick in the third period. The Rangers went on to win the Stanley Cup. DdN-QCOUPMU 1.) Babe Ruth's Famous Home-Run Point When it comes to the most famous name in sports history, it only makes sense that he deserves the most famous called shot in sports history. Even to this day there's always one douchebag who attempts to re-enact the iconic moment during bar league softball games. Here's the story: The Yankees were playing the Cubs in the 1932 World Series. It was game 3, and the Cubs were heckling Ruth at every opportunity. It was the only way they could stop the legend from continuing to dismantle their team. After watching two called strikes from pitcher Charlie Root, Ruth started to get hounded by the Cubs dugout. Being a fierce competitor, Ruth had no problem returning the heckles. After watching another called strike, it seemed like Ruth would shut his mouth and focus on the at-bat. What happened next has been disputed and debated by baseball historians for 75 years. Ruth pointed to what seemed like the center field bleachers. Root delivered a curveball that Ruth absolutely destroyed. We're talking Benny "The Jet" Rodriguez style ball-destruction here, people. The shot sailed around 440 feet. As Ruth rounded the bases, he taunted the Cubs dugout. Lou Gehrig followed Ruth with a home run of his own. The Yankees went on to win the series. Unfortunately, footage of the game is rare, making it almost impossible to find. This is the best we could do: There is debate over where he is actually pointing. Some claimed he pointed toward the dugout, some say he pointed to the bleachers. Either way, the moment has become a baseball legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsfan80 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 There is debate over where [babe] is actually pointing. Some claimed he pointed toward the dugout, some say he pointed to the bleachers. Either way, the moment has become a baseball legend. He actually pointed two fingers at Cubs pitcher Charlie Root and said "you're gonna get two strikes on me and that's all you're gonna get". It was the reporters who asked if he'd called his shot, and Babe simply went along with the story. Even in the famous painting of the "called shot", you'll see that they have Babe holding up TWO fingers. Who points with 2 fingers? This makes Namath's guarantee, legitimately, the greatest.
