SPORTS SPEAK UP!

NO LONGER the lovable losers, but the lovable winners. GO CUBS GO! — Hunchback Jimmy

WHEN KK makes sweeping dribble-drive down the left side of the lane and lays in one off a finger roll … yeah, this will be a fun year for Lobo Women’s Basketball if everyone stays healthy. GO LOBOS! — MAL Albuquerqu­e

JUST WHEN YOU think the Krebs-led money grubbers couldn’t possibly be worse, they’ve found yet another way to gouge the casual Lobo fan. Individual game tickets for basketball went on sale Friday at midnight, which means you have to pay $5.75 a ticket online (an obscene amount), or wait until Monday morning for the ticket office to open. What a shame. I’m actually excited about this year’s men’s team. — Brian

BOB DAVIE AND Dennis Franchonie have a lot in common. Bob and Dennis have both disrespect­ed a lot of deserving New Mexico high school football talent, very low attendance numbers and scheduled horrible football teams like NAU or LA Monroe for gimme wins to get to a meaningles­s bowl game while playing in a bad conference. The damn fans that ran Rocky Long out of town killed what could of been a long lasting successful program. — Hairy G Albuquerqu­e

NO DISCIPLINE in Lobo football. Unsportsma­nlike on Jordan for pretending to shoot a gun. TD overturned when Gipson hotdogs it before crossing the goal line. Would Davie bench them? Of course not. No wonder no one wants to pay to watch this team. — AJB-ABQ

ALBERT, BOB DAVIE didn’t want to play Valley high or the sisters of the poor. La Monroe and South Dakota aren’t as good. He can’t make it to the insignific­ant bowl with those guys on his schedule much less the likes of A& M or utep like the best team in NM played. — NM native Abq

I WOULD LIKE to address the Steelers fans that continuall­y bring up the number of Super Bowls their team has won. Sunday afternoon the steelers looked nothing like a super bowl winning team when they faced the New England Patriots. — Sam-o

TABLETS? Coach Bill don’t need no stinkin’ tablets! — Patricia

SO, TO POSIT that the Dallas Cowboys are still America’s Team is like believing that the oceans are going to rise because of global warming. Both not true. That’s why I’m here, i.e. to correct the record for so many misinforme­d fans. — JC, SoCal

LOT OF REASONS

given why NFL ratings are down. I personally hv stopped watching half as many games as I used to only because of stupid antics by players like Ocho Cinco, TO, Dez, Odell B., and others promoting their brands, plus lack of justifiabl­e punishment against players for domestic violence violations. Quilty players get help and therapy treatment from teams and NFL and victims get “nada”!!! — Ed

EVERYONE I KNOW is boycotting the 49ers games due to the protestors lack of respect for our flag and country. I emailed Goodell telling him he would lose viewers if he didn’t deal with the protests. Instead of dealing with the protestors he quit televising the national anthem. We’ve been longtime NFL fans but I’m starting to think I could do something else on Sunday if it keeps up. — TtomR
