TheDevilAndGodAreRagingInsideMe Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 Because they are biased out the ass.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 Tony Romo - 9 fumbles in last 6 games.. hes the white Tony Banks! It might be something with the name Tony..
bob_barron Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 Why are so many people obsessed with a TV network? Why are you so obsessed with Saturday Night Live? You do realize you're posting in the sports folder, right? Totally different. Instead of talking about the game or the playoffs, it seems like every response is ESPN hates this, no they hate that, no they've hated this since 2004.
Guest "Go, Mordecai!" Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 Why are so many people obsessed with a TV network? It's not like we're awarding star ratings to the Budweiser Hot Seat.
2GOLD Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 So what are the chances the games tomorrow are good? I think the Jets vs Patriots has a great shot of being exciting but the Giants vs Eagles all depends on which Eli shows up.
cabbageboy Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 This is just the wild card round. It's not like most of the WC teams are worth a damn anyway, so it won't be the football equivalent of Rembrandt. And come to think of it every playoff game last year except one (Colts/Steelers) could be deemed unwatchable crap, and the one game that did fit the parameters of watchability gave the league the worst possible nightmare result, and led to 2 more clunker games (Denver AFC title game, Seattle Super Bowl). You know, I actually called Dallas fucking that up at the end there. Watching with my brother I mentioned "You know, the Cowboys are trying way too hard to get a FG here. I bet Gramatica misses this, or they botch the snap." As far as the Colts go, I'm not ready to read much into Manning's 3 INTs today since Ty Law was involved. Some guys just own other guys, and Ty Law OWNS Peyton Manning.
TheDevilAndGodAreRagingInsideMe Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 The playoffs last year were awful outside of Pitt/Indy.
Red Baron Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 Hey at least it was a botch snapped. I mean its not like Gramatica missed four field goals.
razazteca Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 Why are so many people obsessed with a TV network? It is the anointed flavor of the month.
cabbageboy Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 I know. And the Pitt/Indy game gave the world the worst possible result and led to two crapathons to follow. Regardless of how anyone feels about the Colts, them vs. Seattle would have probably been an exciting, high scoring Super Bowl. I don't even think another playoff game last year was decided by less than 10 points.
Red Baron Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 Drew Bledsoe would have hold the snap better, and T.O. will be on a different team next year, because Romo isn't good enough for him.
The Man in Blak Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 Why are so many people obsessed with a TV network? It is the anointed flavor of the month. Bob Barron in the wrestling folder: "Why are so many people obsessed with the WWE?" Why don't both of you go away. It's a topic in the sports folder and ESPN is the most prominent sports network in the country. Criticism of their coverage (which has been well-deserved, in recent months) is Perfectly Acceptable Discussion here, just like criticisms of Fox News would be acceptable in the Current Events folder, etc.
Just John Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 I don't even think another playoff game last year was decided by less than 10 points. Bucs/Skins and Bears/Panthers.
Guest Princess Leena Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 My NFL fixing paranoia dictates the Giants must win tomorrow because Seattle @ Chicago bores everyone. Fuck.
Guest "Go, Mordecai!" Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 Poor Tony Romo. He has the cutest dimples, though
The Man in Blak Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 "Hi, Tony? Yeah, this is Carrie. Oh yeah, I saw the game - there's always next year, right? Yeah, you know, Tony, I was just thinking about that. Well, you know, I'm not sure if we should see each other anymore. Oh no, oh no, it's not you, Tony, it's just me. Yeah, we've just got so much going on in our careers right now and...yeah, it's okay. You let me know if you ever need anything, okay? All righty, buh-bye now."

I just don't see why so many people here immediately think of ESPN's reaction at the end of a football game.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 Saturday, January 13th Indianapolis (13-4) at Baltimore (13-3) 4:30 CBS-HD Philadelphia (10-6) or Seattle (9-7) at New Orleans (10-6) 8 Fox-HD Sunday, January 14th Seattle (9-7) or New York Giants (8-8) at Chicago (13-3) 1 Fox-HD New England (12-4) /New York Jets (10-6) at San Diego (14-2) 4:30 CBS-HD I will be at work. NO HD FOR ME (unless I tivo it, but I cant watch sports on tape delay cause inevitably someone will spoil it for me and I end up pissed off)! But I'll at least have a TV to watch it at work.
Guest Princess Leena Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 Your place of employment doesn't have HDTV? Time for a new job, Marv...
MFer Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 So...how about that Bill Parcells Gatorade commercial? I didn't catch that Jim Mora Coors commercial(how about Jr. on NBC BTW?) but I did see a Mike Ditka one that wasn't too bad.
MrRant Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 I'd like to say that worst part of the game was the chanting by idiots of such creative things such as "Romo is a homo" and "T.O sucks balls." Get us some creativity.
Special K Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 Lucky bastard, Rant! I've never been to a Seahawks game live since Qwest went up. Were those chants widespread? I think I heard one song-song chant during the game on TV. As for Seattle "whothehellaretheys"? Come on. four straight playoff appearances, last year's Super Bowl and MVP. I guess they forgot to talk loads and loads of shit, and have good team chemistry. Borrring. Man their running game really needs to step it up, though. That Huthinson/Burlseson 'trade' really didn't go well.
Guest Vitamin X Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 That Huthinson/Burlseson 'trade' really didn't go well. For either team, actually, as Minnesota didn't do too well with Hutchinson. It actually turned out better for Seattle since Burleson has turned into a good target for Hasselbeck when healthy.
Jaxxson Mayhem Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 Oh man...... There are no words to describe that game........
Guest Legalise Drugs and Murder Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 Were you at the Colts game? I know you live around here someplace.
Jaxxson Mayhem Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 Were you at the Colts game? I know you live around here someplace. Nah. I didn't have tickets. Did you get to go?
Special K Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 For either team, actually, as Minnesota didn't do too well with Hutchinson. It actually turned out better for Seattle since Burleson has turned into a good target for Hasselbeck when healthy. Well, Minnesota didn't do as well as I'd expected this season. HOwever, Hutchinson is fucking quality. Burleson is definitely a quality player, but $7 mil a year? I don't care if he's a homeboy or not, that was just a ridicilously asinine knee-jerk reaction. Not worth that at all. It was just made to cripple the Vikings after that bullshit 'poison pill' Hutchinson deal. Yeah, you sure stuck it to them management.
