CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2006 THAT passes as taunting? That's ridiculous. TO should be subject to those NBA rules about lobbying the officials for a penalty... Mike McKenzie's "taunting" was probably telling TO "knock that shit off... it was NOT pass interference." My thoughts exactly. When the ref called unspotsmanlike conduct, I thought for sure it was on Owens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Black Lushus 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2006 It's funny how the NFL is the only league where the networks don't ever have to worry about smaller market teams making the championship round. If the NBA or MLB had a final like San Diego/New Orleans, they'd be horrified. New Orleans is a Big Story and San Diego has the MVP, so that makes it okay. Jacksonville in the Super Bowl would give the networks a scare. We'd also get "Drew Brees vs. his old team and undestudy Philip Rivers." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
naiwf 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2006 Fuck you Automatica. You should have missed the FG last week. The Saints are hard to root against. Next time that "the Seahawks don't get any respect" guy comes around someone just point to this thread and remind him that losing to the Cardinals when playing for a # 2 seed is all the reason one needs to not respect those losers.

Guest "Go, Mordecai!" Report post Posted December 11, 2006 Green Bay doesn't count as the smallest market because realistically, it encompasses Milwaukee, Madison, the rest of Wisconsin, and has a national following. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2006 Green Bay doesn't count as the smallest market because realistically, it encompasses Milwaukee, Madison, the rest of Wisconsin, and has a national following. Milwaukee is 33 and Madison is 85..if you combine them its barely a top 15 market. Im sure a lot of teams actual designated markets are larger and all but I just went by the home city market as best I could. and Reggie Bush off to the races for a TD.

The #'s are pre Katrina if that makes any difference..its the latest #'s I could find from 2005. Baton Rouge is listed at 310,000 Katrina seriously skews those numbers. New Orleans' market got much smaller while the Baton Rouge and Houston markets got larger. Baton Rouge and the surrounding suburbs (Gonzales, Watson, Denham Springs, Zachary, Baker, etc.) have absorbed a lot of people who were displaced by Katrina. It ain't over yet, but give it another Saints drive or two... The Saints have had an overwhelming advantage in T.O.P. this whole game, so they can stretch things out on the ground and make it so that Dallas has trouble making up 11+ points in the time they have left.

MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2006 I shall note that the Ravens held the Saints offense to 22 points when they played them in New Orleans. Brees did have 383 yards passing and 3 TDs but also had 3 ints and most of the yardage given up was after the Ravens got a 35-7 lead, and they do have a terrible habit of giving up gobs of passing yards when they get up by a couple TDs.. I am quite surprised about this game so far though..I did figure on NO winning but I thought it'd be closer than this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
