USC Wuz Robbed!

The thing that bothers me is this: Don't people have Christmas shopping to do? Why waste money on this? Now if it was in like July or something where you have nothing to shop for, it'd go over better. But December? Only idiots would do this.

Apparently Nick Saban wanted Drew Brees, but the other guys in charge picked Culpepper. And the flack they get from the Culpepper signing has gotta be cancelled out by the "resurgence" of JOEY freakin' HARRINGTON.

I don't know. It looks like Jaguars might beat the Patriots at Foxboro, then they will be the ones to face the Chargers. At least I hope. I'm tired of the Patriots going deep each year.

San Francisco at Seattle (9.5) (3.5) Dallas at Atlanta Cleveland at Baltimore (11.5) Detroit at Green Bay (5.5) Houston at New England (11.5) (3.5) Jacksonville at Tennessee Miami at Buffalo (1.5) N.Y. Jets at Minnesota (3.5) Philadelphia at N.Y. Giants (5.5) (3.5) Pittsburgh at Carolina Tampa Bay at Chicago (13.5) Washington at New Orleans (9.5) (2.5) Denver at Arizona Kansas City at San Diego (8.5) St. Louis at Oakland (2.5) Cincinnati at Indianapolis (3.5) SD-35

Miami got the blueprint on how to beat the Patriots: obtain an audio tape of Brady calling plays at the line, and prepare for it. Patriots are one and done, I think, this year.

Cincy has to overcome the police to be taken seriously as a playoff threat. If they're all still suited up by January, I'll take them seriously, but anything can happen between now and then.

Ravens lost to Carolina, Denver and Cincinnati, none that are probably serious playoff threats. So does that mean Baltimore isn't a serious playoff threat too? We shall see. And no this isn't transitive property, Czech.

I don't know. Saints looks beatable, but then again, only Chargers looks unstoppable and they can be beaten too.

Nicer yet is him returning to his collegiate stomping grounds to win the NFL biggest prize.

If Belushi says Rex is alright, he must be!

Ah yes. Thanks.

Hold up, didn't I sweep CanadianChris, thus giving me more than 1 divisional win?

I liked how in the post game press conference, a reporter asked Parcells if Bush was good as advertised, and Parcells just went "Well it was Brees who did all this, though..."

Not that its an excuse but wasn't Payton Romo's coach in Dallas? I could see it being a Gruden/Raiders Super Bowl type thing where Payton knows what to anticipate from Romo.

Yeah I don't mean to sound like a jackass. I just never expected to sweep you. I have that much respect for you as far as picking games go. I still won't win the division, probably.

LOL yeah, and it'd be funny when he runs over Baltimore in the divisional playoff game if Baltimore manages to actually beat the wildcard opponent.

Well yeah, to the league. The team can give Brees their own team MVP if they want. He isn't it of the whole league.

Nope I didn't. My apologies. I had just come back from the mall and assumed you posted it after the game started. Regardless I swept you, YAY me.

Ok seriously, who's not voting LT for MVP?

What? You do see the scoreboard, right? edit: And on that note, looks like I sweep Chris and move a game behind the leader.

Unlike 2000 though, the other teams' offenses are much more explosive. You're telling me that San Diego, Indy and etc are worse than Tennessee of 2000?

Offensively they suck. They only converted those zillion turnovers into 2 field goals prior to the long bomb.

Both KC and Baltimore are playing terribly. Neither team will be a viable playoff threat.

I'm sure whatever they do will make that Atlanta player getting busted with a hooker and having to be bailed out before the Super Bowl look like nothing. That player was "Dog Collar" Ray Buchanon I believe.

I'm more surprised Brady Quinn didn't finish 2nd.
