What are your plans to pass the offseason?

[OrangeShadow]

now that we are in offseason mode what are your plans now that theres no football?

mine are as usual school,work and partying besides that im going to the first sox/yanks game of the season :yayaya:

[FantomForce]

Let's see, watch my bulls not make the playoffs agian, pray every night that the Yankees franchise blows up and wait until the NFL draft

[epicSocialism4tw]

It's Dallas Mavericks time, baby! After Dallas wins the NBA Championship, I'll get to follow our boys in Germany as the US National Soccer team takes on the World on the world's biggest stage in the worlds greatest sporting event: the World Cup.

Oh yeah the world cup, we have to win our first game for sure to get past the first round

[epicSocialism4tw]

Well, I think that we have a better shot at Italy than we do at the Czechs. We match up well with both of them though, so we have a chance to get through. Ghana wont be easy either. They were the top African team to qualify.

True that. Aren't the Czechs ranked 2nd??? I would just like to get that first win that should wake up the world!

[ludo21]

i bought fifa 06 and have been playng that all week. I too am getting psyched about thw WC.

I will watch my Twolves try and squeak in the playoffs. (doubtful)

Wont watch hockey till playoffs, so ill keep busy with work and school.

I always root for England and whatever underdog catches my eye (last time it was Senegal) O and of course the USA!!!!

[Sodak]

I can't stand watching any sport but football really.

Baseball is a friggin' joke. It's like watching Kasperov vs. Deep Blue. What with 387.6 games during the season? It essentially renders individual games meaningless... same with basketball and hockey.

Uuuuggh! It's going to be a long, long offseason...

Yep...the Czech's are awesome. They'll probably win that group.
If the US can tie the Czechs and tie Italy, they can probably squeak by with a win v. Ghana. They will probably need a combination of either 2 wins and a loss or 2 ties and a win to get by.

It will be a monumental accomplishment if they just get out of the first round.

Well it is time for our team to show that we are real American bad a$$es, hey Angy do you play Adu or not? He had one hell of a move against Canada the other night but I don't think he will even see the field, that is if he even makes the trip

[ludo21]

1/2 English through my dads side. Uncle lives there, Nanny born there, just a family thing. :thumbs:

Understood, now my question is whether or not you are a true hooligan

[RhymesayersDU]

I can finally immerse myself in basketball. I love this time of year. Actually that makes it sound like I'm looking forward to the NFL season ending, which I'm not... It's just something new I suppose. I was deep into the NFL all fall/winter, and it's nice to change things up until the summer.

After the NBA Finals is when things get bad, summer sucks with no football or basketball.

[Kaylore]

I'm going to post here (though not as often), work on my film, try and get more exercise and start looking at the draft prospects. :wiggle:

[epicSocialism4tw]

I've seen Adu play up close. He is what they say he is. He's an unbelievable athlete with skills that US Soccer has never seen wearing red, white, and blue. He's a player with world class talent. He's the type of player that the top clubs drool over.

I saw him play a couple of times right after he turned 14. He was playing with the US U17 national team in a tournament against U19 professionals from Newcastle United, Tigres, and Deportivo Saprissa. One play sums up how he played consistently during the tourney. I was standing on the baseline by the opposition's goal. Adu takes the ball to the baseline down the left wing into the corner and is triple teamed by grown men that were nearly twice his height and were physically developed. Adu is fresh out of his13th year, mind you... Adu takes all three guys into the corner (with his back pinned at the corner flag), jukes one guy into diving at him from his right, touches the ball just out of his reach to his left, uses a body fake to get one of the other defenders to dive in, and then splits the two defenders closest to the line. All in a couple of seamless touches. He then blows past them down the baseline and fires a perfect knee-level cross just out of the keeper's reach that his one of his teammates shank wide. It was Pele-esque. He went on to abuse Newcastle United in the next game I saw.

Adu will probably be the greatest American player to don a uniform when it's all said and done.

[Regency]

March Madness, NHL Playoffs (hopefully the Leafs don't make it so they can blow up the team full of plugs) and of course the World Cup....should be fun to see my beloved Azzurri choke in a big tournament again!

Lets hope they do...specifically in that game where they go up against Sam's Army :D !

[Vegas_Bronco]

I'm moving to Denver..... I wish! Let's see, oh, yeah, I have 8 more years to wait until I'm up for season tickets.

This offseason we should have a OM Party! Hey TJ??? How bout you guys come to VEGAS??? Maybe we could do a quick fund raiser host a few Broncos players to a round of golf down here. Anyone have Rod's or Bailey's cell #'s?

[Rausch]

DRINK!

[Dr. Broncenstein]

I'm getting married in Maui... to my special lady friend

[scorpio]

I'm going to lose my 20 football pounds and then shag like a rabbit until training camp.

[Clockwork Orange]

Angelina Jolie and I are expecting our first child together, so that'll keep me pretty busy. :wiggle:

[Rausch]

I'm getting married in Maui... to my special lady friend

I thought Ed McCaffery was already married...

[FADERPROOF]

I'm going to deaatach myself from sports for the most part for awhile, I'm actually pretty burnt out after the season that both the Broncos and Buckeyes had for me, and I'm going to start focusing on other things in my life and get everything situated there.

Just been noticing how much of a sports fan I am and how it's not such a good thing all of the time, so I'm taking a timeout on the sports stuff and just kind of lurk from afar about whats going on in the world of sports until I've got my **** together.

[FADERPROOF]

I'm getting married in Maui... to my special lady friend


Congrats man, that marriage thing isnt until 2007 for me.

[Hogan11]

Untill spring training starts, it's all Philadelphia Flyers from here on out.

[Sassy]

Planning next season's Bronco Trips ;D

[Dr.5280]

Colorado Crush. Well it's kinda like football and it's got John Elway. Defending world champions. Go Crush.

[SoCalBronco]

The Draft.

[spdirty]

Draft, pay close attention to what my Broncos do in FA, Nuggets, Avalanche, Crush, Olympics, maybe check out the World Cup, rediscover my relationship with my wife and kids, work, do my best to ignore the Rockies.

[FADERPROOF]

I'll also be looking forward to numerous upcoming concerts, music is going to take me away from sports.

[smalltowngrll]

Looking forward to March madness...I'm always immersed in that!

Then there's the summer, which is always busy with something every weekend. A few trips to Portland, a few trips to the coast, a trip to Vegas (party...oh yea!!) and maybe a trip or two to Seattle. I'm also training for two half marathons this year (one in June and one in October) and considering a duathlon in June two weeks after the half. ;D :strong:

Then it'll be about football time again! Time to plan some trips to Denver and one to Arizona! :thumbs:

[rbackfactory80]

My favorite time of the year is right around the corner, Golf Season. I will be hitting the links everyday.

[watermock]

I will be cussing like a Sailor for another week...then I open up the draft book and suffer thru another poor Twiinkie season of baseball...

Dammit Dammit Dammit...

I still can't get thru the first phase of grief! it's hopeless...

I will probably just move right to draft mode...

[watermock]

The Hawks will bring their usual mediocre team to the table...

[Vegas_Bronco]

Honestly, I couldn't have said it better. In the first round with the 6th pick (acquired via trade) the Denver Broncos select.....

[watermock]

Spread Chicken Manure, pay the bank and study the draft....I have gone from crying to total anger....I still can't believe that greyhoud sized egg we laid...

hopefully grief is close...I am having a hard time dealing with this one...kitty cat jumped on the ice tonight and got in the scrum...

It was like it was over after the first series - we got our doors blown off before we knew we had started to drive. - something evil is going on with those damn Steelers.

[Crushaholic]

Now that football is over and there is nothing on (at least until Arena Football), I'll spend more time at the movie theater.

[Breck Bronc]

In the next few months I'll be looking forward to;

Team USA hockey next month in the Torino Olympics (ps, USA Soccer isn't the only US sports underdog)

Matt Carle, the best player in college hockey, and his University of Denver teammates try to win their third straight national title. (It will take a miracle, but I wouldn't count out these kids)

http://hockeyphotography.com/2005_04/050409/050409-266.jpg




Marek Svatos, the leading goal scorer in the Western Conference, and the Avs hope to continue their 2006 hot streak. (And maybe Aebi will keep fighting ROFL! )

http://www.chieftain.com/archive/2005/oct/11/sptFLAMES-AVALANCHE.jpg



And most importantly, The Sopranos will be back with new episodes on March 12th. It will have been a long two years without Tony, Carm, Meadow, A.J. Chris, Paulie, Silvio and the rest of the great characters. I can't freaking wait.

http://www.hbo.com/sopranos/img/252x190/episodes/season05/ep53_silvio_paulie.jpg

[anthonypacino]

Avs, I will follow the Crush, Spring Ball is just around the corner for college football, see how some of these recruits shape up, the Draft, maybe my Mets and Indians will get out there this year, and really try to get into shape, Football season and tailgating does more wear and tear on your health than most think, and of course it al occurs during the "fattest holidays" of the year. Oh yeah, Bronx 33 has to teach me how to fish, or at least teach me the proper technique.

[kent156]

get drunk and go to work, but maybe not at the same time

[Elway 4 Life]

My favorite time of the year is right around the corner, Golf Season. I will be hitting the links everyday.
You and me both. Actually I'm golfing later today. It's been unusually warm for this time of year here. i will golf and wait for the draft.

[Mile High Shack]

vaseline and free porn???

[defenseman]

Trying to finish up my masters before retirement, lots of work in addition to normal job. NO FOOTBALL until 2006 opening day. Olympics will get my attention. Hopefully the Avs give me a reason to follow the NHL well into the playoffs. An occassional golf game, hopefully, really busy. Making preparations for career change in a couple of years. In any case, lots to keep me occupied..dman

[meangene]

The draft is my oasis. Don't really watch other sports much. I've signed up to run three half marathons and scheduled two vacations - Costa Rica in July and a cabin in the Blue Ridge Mountains in May. I don't schedule much of anything during the season!

[defenseman]

Cabin in the Blue ridge mountains, that sounds like a quality vacation. I think the wifey and I are heading for a cabin down by Branson, MO....dman

[bendog]

congrats and best wishes Dr. Broncenstein

Kent, imo, being drunk at work beats the hell out of being there sober ... unless like Dr. Broncenstein you are surgically repairing someones knee or shoulder or something... although it's not like it's his knee or shoulder or something.

My offseason, I'm picking up dog poo, and moving the veggie garden from the back yard to a side yard, and hopefully, getting a front bedroom cleared out so we can do our third remodel this house. Being married isn't bad, but being an owner of an old house with a big yard sucks. ps, I hope to give up vodka too.

[meangene]

We try to go a couple of times a year. Found a log cabin where we can bring the dog. Great hiking and biking off of Skyline Drive near Charlottesville, VA. Nice because it's only 3 hours from home.

[Dagmar]

Follow Glasgow Rangers (Scottish Soccer), NHL Playoffs, get into basketball for the 1st time, Watch Olympics, Watch World Cup, get into shape.
Maybe FINALLY get settled into America. And Work. And go to Boston next week.
Of course Bronco FA and Draft.

[Crowpointer]

we need to earn those points for next fall. This year 7 home games (I sold that joke game with Miami at year end) and 3 away games ( I get some bonus points back because I take the wife to the Miami game every year ( a blast!) and I need to build up points for next fall. I live in a 128 year old house (think Adams family) that always needs work . The good news is that it is on the Ocean (the name of the area in my town is called Crow Point (see my name) and it howls like a haunted house in a heavy wind. So I have a long list of house projects to begin when the weather gets warmer although I have already been assigned to repainting some rooms and I also coach my oldest (first grader) in youth basketball. The only tv I watch now is 24 until the Sox get going . Striped bass fishing when summer rolls around. Start building points for next fall !!

[azbroncfan]

Well I can play golf on sundays again. I shut it down for Football season except during the week and sat's.

[Bronco_Beerslug]

What are your plans to pass the offseason?

Actually only the final day of the $10K buy in 'Main Event' is held at Binions anymore. Everything else is at the Rio. But yes, we are going.

[Rock Chalk]

Smoke lots and lots of marijuana.

[freak6]

Train to kill, train others to kill, train son to kill (on the field only) :), and get into law school.

[Crowpointer]

So I'm assuming if I see this guy on tv wearing an orange tux playing Lederer and Chan I'll know who it is. Congrats on getting married, however the 10k wsop playing days will be shortly coming to an end. Hey at least you don't have to spend money on a tux.

you should totally wear the tux, that would get those guys on tilt, I can't even imagine Mouth Matasow sitting next to you in that tux!

[epicSocialism4tw]

So you're changing the routine, huh?

[sippybrew]

futzing around my place raising chickens and goats. beer making. beer drinking. compound fortifacation.

[dbfan4life]

I think I'm going to join a gym. I had to get a larger size last time I went to buy jeans. That's gotta stop. Thinking about buying a pop-up to do some camping this year. Get good at Madden '06. Got the game for Christmas but was too consumed with other crap to actually sit down and play the darn thing. Wife has a lot of projects lined up at home. The first thing I would do is organize my garage and turn it in to the orange 'n blue room I've always wanted. The wife is getting tired of the pool table in the living room, too. I've decided to get back into school. Other than that, not a whole lot.

nice...actually they added a $50K HORSE torunament this year which is in my mind the real deal (too bad they wont televise that, but it wouldnt be good TV) . As for the tux, Orange Crusher spent an entire game trying to convince her, but I think she was too busy yelling obscenities at Elam to listen...lol

[dbfan4life]

Oh, and still find time to do some golfing. Basketball season is in full swing. Hopefully the Kobe Lakers will try playing some team ball this year and make a run at the playoffs.
