The MAC champion is committed to the Motor City Bowl.

That's a good choice. I'd go with the 1977 Canadiens, though. 60-8-12 in the regular season, 12-2 in the playoffs.

Green stuff is awesome. Except my family makes it with cottage cheese instead of cool whip. Well, maybe there's some cool whip in there, I'm not sure.

Eruzione was the only one I could recall. I might have gotten Broten if I was pressed.

No, definitely not. That'd be like saying '85 Villanova or '83 NC State were among the greatest teams ever. Greatest stories, yes, but not greatest teams. And 3 members of the Miracle on Ice team is still two more than I can name.

I must have had a small stroke right before I picked the Cardinals. Oh well, 2-0 lead is still pretty good.

Yeah, I can't say I'm too thrilled about it, either.

The worst-kept secret in hockey is out, as Brian Burke signed for 6 years to be the Leafs GM.

I won't be doing it next week, that's for sure.

This game is going to be at least as non-competitive as the last one.

Come on, 3-0 lead.

They lost 10 games. TEN. Miami didn't lose any.

You used a golf analogy in an argument with Czech. I submit you've already lost.

Awesome, but probably went over the heads of about 98% of the people watching. Oh, and happy Thursday!

I'm just gonna go mark myself down as correct in the survivor pool. Speaking of historically bad teams, I'd throw some of those 49er teams from earlier this decade in there. One of them went 2-14 or something like that and could hardly do anything right unless they were playing Arizona.

And we start heads up with: CC - Tennessee Kahran - Dallas

I thought that was acute thing to do, personally. It may have been just a reflex, but it was certainly the right move. Straight up.

Put Owen Hart in there instead of Goldberg.

No, I didn't. But then I barely ever watched the Sopranos.

Tennessee Dallas Arizona

1. How do you feel about the Dallas/Detroit tradition? How would you change it, if at all? I think it's kind of cool that they have the Thanksgiving tradition. I could take it or leave it, though, especially with the addition of the NFLN night game. 2. Are there ten QBs in the league -right now- that you would take over Matt Ryan? If so, who? If not, does that blow your mind? Where do you rate him? Let's see...I would take these guys immediately over Ryan: Tom Brady (when healthy) Peyton Manning Eli Manning Drew Brees Tony Romo Ben Roethlisberger Philip Rivers Jay Cutler Donovan McNabb Kurt Warner Brett Favre So that's 11, 10 if you don't count Brady. It's very close with Ryan, though. He's learned the system well, which shouldn't be surprising since he came from BC, where they have a pro-style offence. The offensive line is light-years beyond where it was last year, which is a big contributing factor. I didn't include Palmer because I don't think he'll ever be right again after that knee injury. 3. Who is the best player in the AFC west? Healthy right now, it's Nnamdi Asomugha, hands down. Shawne Merriman and Champ Bailey could give him a run for his money when they're healthy. 4. Where does Donovan McNabb play next season? Geez, who knows. The Kolb experiment went so badly that they might be scared to get rid of McNabb, although Kolb was set up to fail. Barring that, he might end up in Chicago or San Fran. 5. Why does Seattle suck so bad? Injuries, mostly. Bad luck and a overall sports malaise in the city are probably contributing factors, too.

Hm. Well, Rod Woodson, Bruce Smith and Shannon Sharpe should be locks. I would put Cris Carter, Randall McDaniel, Derrick Thomas and Roger Craig as my other four. I think this might be the year Tagliabue makes it in, though, which would leave us with 6.

It wasn't. http://www.tv.com/how-i-met-your-mother/wo...uide;ep_title;8 Woo girls: Jamie-Lynn Sigler(!), Erika Medina, Krista Kalmus, Jae Suh http://www.tv.com/how-i-met-your-mother/th...uide;ep_title;7 Elevator girl: Courtney Ford

Which...well, they are. At least the names make it clear that I-AA produces a national champion and I-A doesn't.

Judging by the schedule, I'm guessing CBS would have blocked the game from being flexed, as they have absolutely nothing else worth watching that week.
