I disagree with the first statement about the interchangability of games I kind of agree with you about the use of backing into the playoffs. I think the term has merit though. Say you have teams A and B. If A wins, they make the playoffs. If they lose and B wins, B goes and A is out. I say A backs in to the playoffs if they lose and then B loses, allowing A to make the playoffs in spite of losing. It doesn't even need to apply to just making the playoffs. I remember in '00 when the Vikings had a solid division lead through most of the season, then dropped three straight at the end of the season and only won the division and #2 seed because Tampa lost their last game of the season

When I first saw commercials for Borat, I ignored them because I thought it was a standard fish-out-of-water "I am simple foreigner here in your crazy country" bit. When I found out was it was really about... I still didn't have much interest in seeing it.

"Site feedback is no place to try out new material!" Barron's still right re: mod's tightassedness towards flaming. There's my serious suggestion

Minnesota will be 6-0 then loose eight of the remaining ten to finish at 8-8. Denny-ball lives on!

Jack Morris needs to get in on the Rollie Finger's "Pitchers with Cool Moustaches" Rule

That was a tag-team effort on their part

I didn't realize until now that Thoth looks like my cousin

No, that's "The Fridge" Big difference

While on the phone last night with Fridge, discussing the upcoming Pats-Chargers game, a realization hit me on how similar this game is with the game against Pittsburgh two years ago... a rookie QB sheltered by a good running game, an overrated defense, and notorious choker coach I'll admit the Pats certainly aren't as strong as they were two years ago, but I think they win this one for those same reasons

This always comes up as an argument as a playoff and I always have to call bullshit on it. The dropoff between a #8 and #9 is a lot less marked than the dropoff between #2 and #3... essentially a "9th seed" (most likely a 2 or possibly 3 loss-team) on the outside-looking in has a lot less to bitch about than, say, a third undefeated team who got locked out of the top two

At least that Big 10 Conference head is honest about the issue being money, rather than the typical talking head fallback excuse of "Is bad for the kids and tradition and stuff!"

A penny means one vote

Czech just had a momentary lapse of reason

Mobilize the troops, Colonel Snuffbox

He's right

Thank you Florida for denying OSU another championship

Hey, it's the Sugar Bowl

How dare you ignore the important points that Jerk importantly created this important thread for

He could be talking about Kansas 1st District Representative Jerry Moran ...but not likely

Everytime they keep saying "Ted Ginn" I keep wanting to think "Ed Gein" instead

Not too cool for the whole sport, just this mid-September feel game
