  1. We're dealing with a guy that thinks Parcells is better than Bill Walsh, Tom Landy, and Chuck Knoll as well. He said Parcells is better because he coached in the free agency era, discounted the fact that Parcells packs up every time the going gets tough, and doesn't give Cowher any credit for taking a team to the playoffs almost every single seas also during said free agency era.

    I wish it didn't cost so goddam much.
  3. I dont think player turnover can be used to defend Parcells either since he's been so nomadic himself. If anyone should get extra credit for that it would be Cowher or Belichek. They managed to maintain success over a period of time with ONE team during the free agency period.
  4. I'm not going to even bother arguing with someone who thinks Parcells is better than Bill Walsh.
  5. I'm pushing 90. But seriously, Lombardi and those old timers did alot more with alot less. How is a team with Mark Bavaro, LT, and Phil Simms, among others, all that bad? Getting those other teams to the playoffs is nice and all but the only one with playoff success was the Pats, and they lost by a fairly wide margin. On the other hand, Holmgren took two different teams to the playoffs repeatedly and has, so far, 3 Super Bowl appearances...same as the Tuna with one less win. Lambeau, Lombardi, Halas, Brown, Walsh, Shula, Landry, and Knoll have to be ranked ahead of Parcells...Ditka, Madden, Holmgren and Jimmy Johnson are at about the same level. We dont have to be confined to nursing homes to understand how great/important Lambeau/Halas/Brown were to football.

    Super Bowl XLI

    A real expert never admits when he's wrong almost all the time.
  7. Let's see here...Vince Lombardi, Curly Lambeau, Chuck Knoll, Tom Landry, George Halas, Don Shula, Paul Brown, Bill Walsh...nope, not top 3. Or 5. Edit - Mike Ditka. Jimmy Johnson. Both were as good or better than Parcells...and Mike Holmgren is at about the same level. And John Madden. You know, the Tuna would really struggle to make a top 10 of all time.
  8. I guess I need to send that to 6 videos now.

    Super Bowl XLI

    Denny Green would probably call them 'comeback specialists'...then he would punch a microphone.
  10. I know all about the Libertarian platform. I wanna know more about the Greenies. I am a libertarian but I dont adhere to every idea of the Party. That seems to be too often a problem for people with both the Democratic & Republican Parties. While I do favor a drastically reduced govt/taxation I still want to see improvements in health care & enivrontmental issues. With the amount that we pay in taxes but somehow cant get medical coverage...that is simply bogus in the Thomas Paine sense. We can have a smaller govt, less taxes, and actually have some of these things that people need if we wouldnt waste so much on mindless things. One glaring example is that the legalization/taxation of marijuana would be a multi-billion dollar swing in positive money. By cutting off the huge funding for policing/holding marijuana users, putting a federal tax on the product, and removing the pharmaceutical hand from congress' ass, we could cut payroll taxes and put more cash where it actually needs to be. Bill Richardson is on the right track with marijuana law reform. He is the only one of the major candidates.

    Super Bowl XLI

    You conveniently forgot that Jamal has a 1000 yard guy backing him up, and the Ravens have one of the better tight ends in the league. And a coach with more playoff experience than Lovie Smith. I'm not feeling the blowout vibe on this one.

    Super Bowl XLI

    So the Colts could handle the Ravens D...but there's no chance against the Bears'?
  13. So how much is Jerry going to offer Jimmy Johnson to leave the Fox studio?
  14. I'm a bit surprised.
  15. Wheres Billo Riley to yell at us for saying "Civil War"? Are environmental issues the main difference between the Greens & the LP? I believe, though I could be mistaken, that the Greens have a modern viewpoint on marijauna law reform...and both Parties are right, though with different ideas presumably, on Iraq.
  16. Stuffed cartoon frogs > Hillary Clinton
  17. I thought the Patriots were dicks after the Chargers game. After the AFC Title game, I didn't see what the cowboynumbers poster saw. I did see on the postgame shows on espn that the experts are still being just as smug as ever despite the NFC game embarassment.
  18. Or vote Libertarian. Or write in Clyde Frog.
  19. We saw how well the espn experts did with the NFC game...how'd they do on the AFC side? Any of the wizards pick Indy?
  20. Yeah. Nobody ever talks about The Drive. Or Indy's just-missed hail mary that sent the Steelers to Super Bowl 30. Or the Falcons upset win over the Vikings in 1998/9.
  21. So, how much does Tom Brady's "Comeback Kid' stock fall after we saw how he handled a late drive when a touchdown, not just a field goal, was necessary?
  22. Endy's bank account would disagree with you on how much that catch mattered.
  23. I dont get how the outcome of the SuperBowl should have any impact on how good today's game was.
  24. Will Fox Sports still be airing home teams?
  25. I thought everyone was being respectful at the end there. Did I miss something?
