Teams that I DON'T want to see win? San Diego (Rivers is a punk, Merriman is a known roid freak, Tomlinson whines), Indy (soft D... without Sanders that is), Seattle (have a friend who's a fan... don't want him having any bragging rights).
Crappy that Gibbs resigned today as well.

How can you be a skins fan and cheer for the cowboys? The giants are taking them down! :cool:Quote:

Can't wait for the games this weekend. More than that I cant wait for next weekend, conference championship weekend, which I enjoy much more than the super bowl. I took off that Monday from work so that my enjoyment may be given a recovery period.
I too am looking forward to this weekend. Bday was thursday, but have to celebrate tonight and tomorrow, followed by more drinking on Sunday... and with a new semester I don't have tests/**** to be graded yet so that makes me happy.
COLTS!
In offseason news, the Browns fired Todd Grantham today.
The first day of a new class is right during my game.:( Not sure what to do about that, I hate recording and watching later.
It's tough not to hear *something* about the game before you get home and fire up the recording, and I don't want the surprise ruined.
As time goes on, I'm beginning to think less and less that Patriots-Jaguars will be a good game and more and more that the Patriots are going to blow their doors off.Who? :DQuote:

I keep barely missing on my "surprise team of the year" picks. I kept telling people last year that the Browns and the Packers would be good, then they ended up not being good. Then I bail and go Bills and 49ers this year (jumped on the 49ers before the bandwagon, might I add) and they suck. In short, look for Buffalo and SF to make the playoffs next year.
::edit::
My memory failed me, but apparently I was half right this season. I actually went with the Bucs this year, plus the Niners as a side choice. Missed on the Niners, but hit on the Bucs.

This one still kind of hurts, though -

Well, that didn't take long.:)
Wow. Ugly start for the Pack. 2 fumbles by grant in 69 seconds when he drops 1 all year. Looks like the Pack is shacking it off tho, got scared for a bit.
Little late for predictions now, but heading into the weekend I'm picking Green Bay, New York, Patriots (big), and Colts (big).
Im going with Green Bay, Dallas, Jags, and Chargers.Quote:

Did anyone else notice this?
Josh Scobey, RB for the Seahawks, broke his left leg in the first quarter of the game, making him the 3rd RB the Packers have put out of commision this year.
Scobee is a return specialist, his accident on the cover team is kind of a freak thing. Not to take anything away from the pack, they really destroyed the seahawks tonight, even after a 2 touchdown deficit.Quote:

A high ankle sprain is different from a broken leg like he played with for the eagles in the superbowl. BUT HE PLAYED WITH A BROKEN LEG FOR THE EAGLES, so I'm obviously pretty biased towards the giants, hopefully a high ankle sprain slows him down a little. That's all I can ask for. Obviously I hope the Giants kill romo.
On a side note, I can't believe how much of a stud Strahan still is. Also, anyone who wasn't a giants fan didn't believe when I said that Mathias Kiwanuka and Justin Tuck would be able to start as D-Ends on any other team besides the Giants. Sure Kiwanuka is hurt, but if ytou watched him last year and this year you'd know how good he is, but you can't deny Justin Tuck's numbers. He barely started any games this season and he put up numbers any starting DE would kill to have. He's really the next torchbearer when strahan is gone, he plays the run and the pass so well.
Enough of me being a biased giants fan.
Let's go giants tomorrow
P.S. Ryan Grant is an Ex-Giant :P
high ankle sprains are like slight tears in the calf, it wont affect his straight like speed bc the way he runs (its sorta weird tbh) means most of his energy is in toe-heel action (whilst most sprinters use toe-calf) thought, TO wont be able to run a fake post, corner to save his life (glenn is back though isnt he? hes a damn good threat tho!)
first cowboys play should be a twin go route and max protect, and the giant should go with the 8 man blitz....either way, someone will start dominating...
the seahawks lost bc holgrem is a girl, he couldnt go for the neck youd think after 2 minutes and 14-0 he'd sit on his quarrels? moron, you come out and go straight for the neck, favre threw ....well.... a favre pass today, and thats what they couldnt stop..
im a ravens fan...wait, a Ogden fan actually - so im just wishing to see the pack take out NE in the superbowl, favre would retire then for sure which would be going out the same way as... cowher, the 'bus' (i loved watching his 10tds for 11yards off 10 carries for the season...lol)
I think that's bang on. I know Holmgren is a top football mind or whatever but coaching has held Seattle back all year, on both sides of the ball. They have the players to be better than this.Quote:

GB showed a lot of heart and played a hell of a game; too bad the hawks decided to embarrass themselves instead of rising to the task of beating a good team in Lambeau.
other notes now that I'm over it:
--NE, can we please get a do over with the Branch trade? We could have used that first rounder on a mangler like Grubbs last year.
--Holmgren has sold his house and moved into a condo. Allen / Ruskell won't fire him, but he seems burned out. If he quits, I fully expect them to lure Jason Garrett away from Dallas to coach this team.
