DCTiger 0 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I dont think Kenny's steep odds are any indication of his ability. I think the bookmakers understand what Kenny's roll is going to be, and understand he is not being asked to carry this team. Heisman takes stats.

saniflush 0 Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share Posted August 16, 2006 I agree with you to a degree but they also have some folks listed so they can seperate some chumps from their money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otterinbham 0 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I don't want to be the spoilsport here, but I really don't care for the Heisman on a lot of levels. Football is a team sport, yet the Heisman elevates an individual to the detriment to the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger1992 999 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 How the hell did Reggie Ball make that list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saniflush 0 Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share Posted August 16, 2006 See above about chumps and money. Otter I have personally had no respect for the award since Manning was stiffed a few years back. However they great ones realize that it takes a team to win it for an individual.

Guest Big Tiger Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 understand what Kenny's roll is going to be, Kaiser or onion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVTiger 0 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 As far as I am concerned, both Manning brothers got stiffed. Peyton was the worst I have ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because Mississippi Valley State wasn't 1-A ball doesn't mean you don't recognize a once-in-a-lifetime talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
