Guest Princess Leena Report post Posted December 31, 2006 Giants in the playoffs. Ugh. Say whatever you want about how parity has made the NFL more exciting and more popular than ever. The product quality sucks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2006 Well, the Giants getting in the playoffs certainly seems like a parody of serious football if nothing else (gotta love an 8-8 playoff team with a -7 in point differential for the year). How insane is it that the Saints might well just rest people tomorrow and finish 10-6 and have the #2 seed? How could any conference be so bad that a #2 seed has a record of 10-6. I'd advise the Saints to go all out and win tomorrow and finish 11-5. An 11-5 team can be a solid Super Bowl contender that has lost a few. A 10-6 team is a JTTS. Truth be told, any NFC besides the Bears making the Super Bowl is a total joke. The AFC has 4 pretty legit contenders, all of whom I think could beat Chicago (SD, Baltimore, NE, and Indy).

Guest "Go, Mordecai!" Report post Posted December 31, 2006 It's odd how ESPN tries to portray NFC East as this weak division and yet they're sending in possible 3 teams (2 guaranteed). They're weak and overhyped at the same time, it's really great. Hear me out: flip the Pats and the Redskins and rename the NFC East the ESPN Division. Romo. Eli Manning. McNabb. Brady. It's too much to handle. Never mind. This is a terrible idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest "Go, Mordecai!" Report post Posted December 31, 2006 It'd be another excuse to show T.O. some more and then blame him for getting the attention. The other one I liked, and this crosses over into "More reasons why ESPN sucks," was on MNF, when Tirico and Kornheiser lamented how the New York Jets get no love from the media (barring Joe Buck's bizarre thing for Eric Mangini in the Bears-Jets game) for having a very good season while everyone focuses on the Giants having a disappointing year. I WONDER WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snuffbox 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2006 I also enjoyed a recent segment where Tard Salisbury was talking about all the good stories of the year. It went something like this..."The Saints, the success of rookie coaches, LT, the comebacks of Brees, Pennington, etc...its stuff like this that we should focus on instead of things like T.O." The T.O. footage that followed lasted as long as all the 'good stories' combined. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually for the Packers to get in on strength of victory: Green Bay Detroit and Minnesota must win and Arizona, Miami and San Fran win, and Carolina, Houston and Tampa Bay lose If 5 out of the last six go down I think it heads to the strength of schedule tie breaker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
