Your Paragon of Virtue

Actually, it's the United States of AmeriDA now. Ten points to whomever gets that one.

Steelers Rams Vikings Pats I want all of these teams to win except for the Pats. Has there ever been a game where the five and six seeds have played each other in the Conference Finals(The only mathetmatically possible way for them to play each other)? I think it could happen, the Rams are indoors and the Vikes are on a roll, plus the Falcons suck and the Eagles have no offense when they have no T.O. Should he be there, I think they could make the Super Bowl competitive, as it stands, they won't even be there. I hate Jim Mora Jr. So very, very much.

Guys, don't hate on Collinsworth for calling it classless, him and Aikman didn't mention it. All the other uptight suits did though, from Joe Buck to the sideline reporters to the studio crew. Howie Long, Bradshaw and JB should be ashamed for distracting from the game by bitching about Randy AGAIN. I like how JJ is like "but to make it positive". You wanna bitch about him, you wanna bitch about his attitude, I don't many players who don't care about their team or the game yet would score two touchdowns in a big game situation while hobbling off the field. Yeah, he doesn't play hard at all. People can't seem to tell the difference between playing hard and playing without a personality. Sure, he was offensive, if you're already going into the game with the bias that he's Satan. I LIKE the Pack and wanted them to win, but I'm glad Randy stepped it up and showed that he plays harder then most give him credit for.

Marshmallow? I watched the second quarter up to the Wayne TD, and it's a moot point to talk about bad calls from the ref when bad plays on the part of Jake Plummer are really what's draggin this team down. He's made some HORRIBLE throws. He was doing nothing in Arizona, why was Mike Shanahan so high on him? Or maybe he was high? Other then his big playoff win in Dallas he's done nothing of note. The Colts have been doing this all year. It's not a question of whether they can do it outside, it's a question of whether they can do it against a team like the Steelers or the Pats. Even the Jets defense is better then the Broncos. Apparently all those offseason acquisitions that were supposed to bolster the Broncs secondary helped them achieve EXACTLY the same pass defense statistics as last year, in terms of ranking. The win last week just instilled a sense of false confidence.

I guess it makes sense that with all the Pats fans, there are this many Colts Haters. I mean really, did Peyton Manning personally piss in Failed Mascot's breakfast this morning? I don't like the Colts, but I would rather see some fresh matchups later on, so I will be rooting for them next week. A Colts-Steelers game would be great in my opinion, and the backstory would be good too with the whole BenRo/Manning thing. The Patriots should win, but they're going to have to come up with something crazy to do it with a secondary as decimated as theirs. Is it even halftime? I'm already talking about what the Colts have to do NEXT week. Poor Jake the Snake, teaches you for stealing that nickname!

I don't think there is such a division rule. I mean, if Minny is #6 and gets past the first round, and Green Bay was #1, they would play each other. Repeat for any other combination of the remaining teams in the NFL.

What is that infinite number of monkeys thing supposed to mean anyway? It always seemed interesting, but I never got what it was used for or what it was related to.

Yeah after winning Coach of the Year his job is definitely in jeopardy, way to be melodramatic. The problem on that last series was that LT was forced to the outside. Had he kept it in the middle the kick would have been good. The length wasn't a problem, so I don't even know why you're suggesting that they should have made a few passing plays, it would be wrong whether in hindsight or foresight. But yeah, whoever forced LT to the outside with a tackle is the unsung hero of that game, had he knelt the ball in the middle, or not run any plays at all since it was already in the middle, they would have been fine. Schotty made poor calls, but they would have been even worse had he followed your advice. The backlash would have been huge especially if it was picked off, and rightfully so. Run the ball, but NOT TO THE OUTSIDE.

Pretty good article on the Rams game, plus the reasoning behind the two timeouts taken

Rams will probably be playing the Eagles next week. They would be my "Perennial scrub takes out powerhouse in second round" upset pick, if only because I wouldn't consider the Pack beating the Falcons an upset. Doubt that would happen, and sadly the Falcons will be even more overrated then they are now, since they will probably be going to the super bowl.

If Plummer can pull--BWAHAHHA I can't even say that with a straight face.

Okay, that makes sense, but Peyton is probably a lock for that one. Might as well add that Schottenheimer is Coach of the Year.

It's kind of funny how little respect the Steelers are getting for being a 15-1 team, especially when they've beaten the two best teams in the league back to back, have homefield advantage throughout the playoffs, and they have a quarterback who just wins. Hopefully no moron brings up the example of the Vikes as a team that was 15-1 and lost, poor analogy in my opinion. No need to delve into that one. But yeah, why are they getting no respect? Most dominant team in the league, essentially perfect since they lost in Week Two with a vastly inferior QB, and they're just clicking on all cylinders right now. With all that said, I still can't bet against the Patriots until they actually lose, even without Ty Law. I hope they lose to the Colts next week though, I'd be happy for Peyton at the very least, since it's stupid that people are all like "OMG HE CANT BEAT NEW ENGLAND IN NEW ENGLAND THIS IS THE HUMP HE MUST GET OVER~!!!~!!!" when he's played them ONCE in the playoffs. There are also too many Pats fans on this board, it's weird.

When do the MVP awards come out? I'm guessing that those are different then the defensive/offensive POY?

I have Animals. I like it. That's it though.

You see Sunday's game? And he said on a radio show today that he might do it again. I did not see it, and I thought he got over the whole "doesn't work hard" thing.

Maybe Dan knows, but for those of us that don't, what's up with the history lesson? What the hell are the "wife swapping" stories, among other things?

Moss doesn't want to play?

The fact that I'm a cheap bastard cancels out any desire I might have to buy alcohol/drugs on a regular basis. I guess that's a good thing.

It almost sounds too simple, but I'm sure it would be difficult. But sit down and talk with her. I'm guessing that her yelling at you is just out of frustration over her own situation. I'm sure that she appreciates what you're doing for her, so just talk to her about it and tell her how you feel. Instead of telling US about all of this, tell HER.

Silva and Minotauro are free agents. Silva has expressed disappointment in the decision with Mark Hunt, so he is thinking of going to K1. Of course, Silva said that he won't whine about it since that's a loser's attitude and that he will keep going and fighting. Hopefull that puts to rest the myth that all the Brazilian fighters are whiners. Minotauro I can't see leaving until he beats Fyodor, but than I guess he will never leave ha. Seriously, it was a great match on Shockwave, but after the way the story was set up in the previous two fights, it had to be a letdown, because it should have had Minotauro overcoming the great monster heel. But Fyodor is too nice of a guy to be a heel. I love how after the fight where we all knew Fyodor won, he goes to shake Mino's hand but Mino has his hands up in celebration like he won the fight and just rubs his head. Oh well. I think this shows that unless Minotauro works on his wrestling he won't be able to beat him. This fight showed Emilienenko had the better stand up and much better takedown skill. Noguiera lost weight to get quicker? Fyodor will just throw you around. It sucks for Mino though, he was on a roll before that fight and I don't know anybody that has the list of impressive names on his win record like he does. He's literally beaten ALL of the heavyweight contenders to ever step in PRIDE, some more then once. If he can get on top of Fyodor, he might have a chance. Dana White has expressed interest in both of them. While I doubt it will happen, it would be unreal to see them both in the UFC. We get Wand-Couture, which is still the premier match up in MMA I think, if only because Wand really won that match, against the biggest premier striker PRIDE has to offer. Noguiera would run through that Heavyweight division in my opinion. There's no one there that could beat him, except for maybe Arlovski who just matches up well with him. But I think that would play out like his fight with Kharitanov. The UFC judging is a little screwy when compared to PRIDE, but I think he can finish him. Interesting news anyway.

Will Mike Mularkey join that list any time soon? Or is he performing to the Buffalo fans' expectations? And what about Gregg Williams for that matter? What do Buffalo fans have to do with two Cincy coaches? What's Shula up to now? I always thought he got the job because of his name more then anything else. Mularkey is slow to change, but Gregg Williams was just a jackass AND his record as coach was 17-31.

Jason is a retard, and since no one looks at Cerebus that way, Mike's bitterness is just seeping through on that one. Funny, I almost typed in Cerebrus, because I don't know what the hell Cerebus is supposed to mean.

That right there is your problem. You are judging a guy with like a catalogue containing like ten albums based on his latest. I personally liked YATQ anyway, if not for the production it would be really great, but now it's just really good. Slayer, Metallica, Megadeth, Iron Maiden Uh oh, I think I should start embracing the testosterone in my system so I could appreciate that shit.
