it is at the same time, the most violent and most cerebral of team sports.

Fair enough.

I used to go to all the intramural rugby matches my university played back in the day. Those guys were NUTS. they had kegs on the sideline too, free!

All I have to say is Fuck you Chicago Bears. YOu play like shit for most of the season and now totally kick ass in Minnesota. wtf.

GO STEELERS!!! WE CAN STILL MAKE IT!!! And after the season, let's cut Big Ben. He's turning into such a douchebag.

I am SO disappointed the Saints and Colts have had losses in the past few weeks. Since each team is in a different conference, they could've gone all the way with 2 undefeated teams in the Super Bowl. Two teams not just battling for the title of "champion", but for a spot in NFL history. It would not've been just the Super Bowl; it would've been the ULTRA Bowl.

Oh well. There's always next season.

I am so pissed the colts rested people. fucking colts. if they had beat the JETS my Texans would stand a much much better chance of getting in the fucking playoffs!!!!!

Well my Giants are out if it and the Steelers have one hand on the ledge the other hanging off. From what I've seen this year I believe it's going to be

Chargers vs. Cardinals

It appears as though Norm Turner finally figure out how to get out of the way and the Cardinals don't always seem to come to play defense. When
the Cardinals clamp down defensively no one in the nfc can beat them.

[FreshChops]

there you have it.......

 

one more to go!

[Rob Instigator]

Saints VERSUS Colts. man I admire Payton manning but I hate the COLTS! TRhey always beat my texans!

Go Saints

[chicka]

definitely a good matchup not the one I wanted but hey who am I. I'll be pulling for the Saints as I've always been a big Colston fan. Always grab him in the second or third round of fantasy.
Early money heavily on the Colts the opening line was 3 1/2 yesterday already 5 1/2 today. 2 point swing is huge at this rate game time might be 7/7 1/2. If you like the Saints hold your bet until game time.

I couldn't help but notice that the Super Bowl is to be played Feb 7th. Why so late?

[EVOLghost]

When I used to watch the Super Bowl, I remember it being played in January.

[Rob Instigator]

a few years back they added a "bye" week to the season, which makes it 17 weeks long instead of 16. each team gets a week off to rest and heal.

This extended the season.

also, they made it a TWO week break between the NFC and AFc championships and the super bowl. otherwise, it would be played this sunday.

[chicka]

they've always had the two week break to build up the hype and to sell shit.
Like Rob said extended the season for the in-season byes moved out to February. Shit when they first started this it was at the beginning of January because the season was only 12 weeks long. Only 4 teams per league made the playoffs the season didn't start till the end of September. Times they have changed. Baseball used to rule back then

baseball is dying, and not soon enough for me,.

Baseball was dead to me after I watched the Marlins sell off their entire roster after winning a world series. I hate baseball. When people say its "a game of numbers" really they are referring to paychecks. Thats the only thing that matters in the game.

I was hoping to see Vikings/Colts for the Super Bowl. I even thought the Vikings would win. But need I remind everyone the record Favre is most known for? Not career or season, or franchise TDs or Yards passed, or wins, or playoff appearances, but interceptions. He had the most career interceptions I think 4 or 5 years ago. But apparently Favre wasnt satisfied with quanity, no. Favre needed a quality, the creme de creme of interceptions to end his career. Easily one of the worst throws/plays/ideas I have ever seen on the pitch. Throwing on 3rd down, within in field goal range, with less than 20 seconds left in a tie game. Run the ball, let your kicker win the game.

Arrogance was the downfall of Favre. He can only blame himself.

[Rob Instigator]

arrogance and the fear of getting hit.
ha!
This could be the highest scoring super bowl ever

The sad part about favre is that he has made that same stupid play before!

[chicka]

If he was afraid to get hit Rob he would have taken himself out of that game.
Disgusting how many late hits they hit him with. He got hit 16 times in that game without a sack and only one roughing the QB call? Cmon

[Rob Instigator]

he had it coming.

Baseball isn't dying it's making another comeback. Baseball will never die it's cheap enough for a family of four to attend. To many little leagues, babe ruth, and so on up the ladder to keep the kids interested.
