I know you have never seen a 2 time Superbowl champ playing for your team FMT so I forgive you for your ignorance.

Back to football. Help me GAF, I need to make a pick for our elimination pool at the office and I can't go with the Giants because I picked them last week. What is the surest win this week?

I'd take the Colts over the SeaHags. I'd say take the Bungles, but it would be just like them to somehow lose to the Browns this week.

I also don't trust the Bengals especially after they just won the Ohio Superbowl last week. Their heads will be swollen and they are ripe to be upset.

you're right, i have never seen a 2 time champ.

i've only seen 3 time champs (jerry rice). suck it down, steelers will never be the franchise that the 49ers are! their superbowls are built on idiot QB's riding the gravy train that is a quality defense!

Jack Del Rio is a dick. Give David Garrard his radio show back!


sounds more like Garrard messed up, and he's cool with Del Rio's decision...

"He said, 'As a father figure, I'm just trying to tell you this isn't good late in the week like this,"' Garrard said. "'You can field things early in the week and ... rehash the past game. But late in the week, you want to be studying your film, you want to be with your family and you want to be off your feet, relaxing.' I totally understand where he's coming from."

No quarterback in the league has a weekly radio show so late in the week, and Del Rio didn't think Garrard needed to be a trendsetter. There also is a clause in Garrard's six-year, $60 million contract stipulating that things like that had to be approved by the team.

We haven't even seen enough of him yet, plus he looked pretty good (last year) before he broke his finger. All I'm saying is, give him more time. Judging him against the Vikings, Broncos, and Ravens, then giving DA the Bengals just isn't fair. So many QBs look bad their first season starting, but get a chance to turn it around.

We already know Anderson will throw 2 to 4 INTs every game, so why not stick with Brady?


Not jumping on you, but that part is bullshit. We have seen plenty of Brady Quinn. In practice, in preseason and in a few games. There has been plenty of evaluation of BQ by two seperate coaching staffs now. If he had this latent talent that everyone claims, he would have beaten out Anderson convincingly in the past two pre-seasons. The job was his for the taking.


Like I've said from day on on Quinn. He has "it".

"It" being the ability to throw 6 to 7 yard out passes with relative accuracy.

But, this is the NFL. You have to be able to move inside the pocket and fire strikes 20 yards down the field when needed. Plus, dinking and dunking only works when you have deep talent in your receiving corp. This corp that Mangini assembled is one of the worst in the past decade. BQ can be viable, but it is absolutely dependent on the talent around him. So instead of him making his other players better, he needs his OTHER players to make him better.

Not really the QB the Browns need at this stage. A lot of football success is about "perceived threats". What does BQ do that other teams have to be fearful of? He can not create offense in the open field, he can not threaten teams deep, he can not scramble for yards.

Questions for the Saints fans;

Question 1;

Don't you think the fans jinx the the living shit out of this team? Why can't some just be happy that the team is winning? As soon as WWL, WDSU, FOX 8 and the like start playing and making up those dumb ass Saints themed songs, shit is going to hit the fan.

I've sent emails to WDSU, WWL, and Fox 8 in the hopes of them NOT playing "Bless You Boys", "Saints go all the way", and that "The SAINTS! ARE MARCHIN! (the dumb ass song that was for 06). To make things worse the whole BREESUS thing needs to be shut the hell down. Drew always talks about team, yet the fans are making it all about him..WTF? Learn from the QB and chill. Can the fans just calm down and not jinx the team until they actually know the Saints will make it to the playoffs? PLEASE!? Damn! I mean no disrespect to any of the passionate or insane fans. I just wish people wouldn't go overboard, only to have the team go through one of those WTF periods. I actually want to see the Saints make it to the Superbowl. If they can't make it with Brees, then they wont make it at all (IMO).

Question 2;

Will the loser of the match be considered a bad team? Some of my friends think if the Saints lose this one, they will be no better of than they were last year? I don't agree with this. The Saints look like they can hang with anyone offense wise, and the D looks to be improved. The Jets seem to be a good team, so I don't think the loser should automatically be made out to be a fraud. As long as the Saints dont go out and make some dumb mistakes, they should be able to get a win out of this. If the Jets take it, props to them. I don't think I'll be able to watch this game, so I might just look in the thread to get updates from the people here. I just want Sunday to come so this feeling can just be over! XD

Question 3;

Does anyone get nervous in the stomach whenever Bush gets the ball? You never know WTF is going to happen with him (good play, fumble, WTF play, etc.).


May the better team win on Sunday...I just hope its the Saints.:D

Question 1: I'm really sorry that you listen to WWL, that said , I could care less what that station does, every time I do listen it seems like one big ad for River Parish Disposal. I see no problems with the fans of any team getting cocky, the fans don't play the games. I'm sure Payton has the Saints "Not Eating the Cheese".

Question 2: I looking forward to a great game Sunday, but in the end we are 3-0 and this a game against an AFC team, not as important right know as NFC games. Even thought I feel we will win it.

Question 3: I get nervous when any of our backs get the ball, they have all at times shown to put the ball on the ground. A player going helmet first into your arm usually results in a fumble no matter the player.

ESPN hopes to hype records for its Green Bay-Minnesota game Monday night. Literally. ESPN, says spokesman Mike Soltys, will announce that on next Monday's broadcast of its ESPN2 SportsNation (5 p.m. ET), it will try to set a record for the most mentions of Brett Favre on a TV show — with Guinness World Records now looking for the current record. Some records should never be broken.

It's like the Onion has taken over for ESPN.

I didn't know the defense was responsible for the greatest 2 minute drill in Superbowl history? Though I won't lie and say the defense was not instrumental to that historic and legendary championship, they were just a part of it. The offense still had to score and they did off of the mighty cannon of Benjamin Messiah Roethlisberger, who seemingly delivered in the closing minutes of almost every game they won.

How could they be, David Tyree doesn't play defense.
That was the greatest catch in Superbowl history and you could debate it as one of the greatest plays (along with the Harrsion INT), but definitely not the greatest 2 minute drill. I swear Eli was nearly intercepted at least once and maybe twice on horrible throws during that drive.

Roethlisberger went into God mode for the entire drive. He had only one questionable throw and it wasn't a lame duck that was going to be an easy INT. And I never had a doubt in my mind that he would do it seeing as he does it on an almost weekly basis. Can you say the same for Eli?

As much as I love Montana, he threw a should have been pick on that drive too...


:lol @LiveWire, I guess that's not gonna get old

Are you talking about that holding call at the beginning of the drive that pushed the Steelers back to the 10 yard line and making it 1st and 20? Thanks a lot for the help refs!

This is actually true, strangely enough. I remember a pass from Eli hitting Asante Samuels right in the chest, and the fucker couldn't hold onto it, to the misery of all the Patriots fans. That was the greatest defensive failure I've seen, since like a play later Eli lobbed one out to Tyree and 18-1 was sealed.

It was such a sweet moment.
 
At least Samuels went to a team where he'd never have to face the pressure of making a pick in an important game again.

It wasn't a two minute drill, the Giants got the ball back with just under 4 minutes left if I recall correctly.

Only nearly picked off once, by Asante Samuel.
 
less than 3 minutes remained when the Giants got the ball Welli...

I remember that one, but I seem to recall another iffy throw that also seemed catchable (by the wrong team). I don't want to go through the game again to see if that is true, but in any case the Pats got what was coming to them and good prevailed over evil.

well if the stealers weren't such chokers in the 90's they could have had the honor of being destroyed by steve young. maybe it would have still been a game halfway through the first quarter too!

We barely lost to the Cowboys who were the team of that decade so I think we would have done ok against the guy who won as many Superbowls as Trent Dilfer and Tony Romo combined.

The Steelers defense and running game were pretty nasty in the 90s. If they could get an early lead it was almost impossible to come back on them.
 
Whatever. I got up to 55 just doing the NFC then accidentally changed the page when I was trying to open a new tab to look up how to spell Ben Ridiculousname.

I think I would have beat everyone here. But I have a big advantage being a Bucs fan. It must be a challenge to name all of Grudens QB's
