Guest Princess Leena Report post Posted January 29, 2007 And people wonder why a "Another reason that ESPN sucks" thread exists. Do your homework instead of just throwing out names, guys. I feel like I'm turning into the Alkeiper/Bored of football here. ESPN did their homework, though. I'm surprised they didn't simply throw in Kerry Collins, Chris Chandler, anyone recent... I'd also argue that Ferragamo was worse than Woodley. Ferragamo did start more, but other than that 1980 season, he was HORRIBLE. Part of that may be Bills' bias since that one season he had in Buffalo was like the worst ever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KingPK 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2007 (edited) They did their homework in this article, at least. Of course, then they decide to put THREE guys in the SportsNation poll that aren't even mentioned in said article. That's just sloppy work. I'd still put Morton on top with Fran Tarkenton right behind. Edited January 29, 2007 by KingPK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snuffbox 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2007 Tarkenton & Jim Kelly managed to stink up multiple Super Bowls. 7 total and they were consistently horrible. They're the worst ever probably, and I really doubt Rex Grossman can get below them in just one appearance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foleyfanforever88 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2007 I think the best finish to the game would be Vinatieri hitting a game winning 45 - 50 yarder... I'm rooting for the Colts...but I would hate that ending (I hate the Patriots). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cheech Tremendous 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2007 Heard this gem of ESPN radio this afternoon: Host: Do you think too much is being made of this Rex Grossman story? NFL Analyst: (paraphrased) No. Absolutely not. You can't blow this out of proportion when the quarterback is this bad... (blabbers)... if the Bears could even get a mediocre game out of Rex Grossman, they could probably win. I just don't think that's possibility. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
USC Wuz Robbed! 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2007 I'd be fine with all the Grossman stuff if it meant him being extra motivated to go insane in the Super Bowl and just annihilating the Colts' defense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Niggardly King 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2007 It would be great if Rex breaks records in the Super Bowl, and has the best Super Bowl game of all time. Just imagine if he gets 6 or 7 straight completions to within the first 5 minutes of the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted January 29, 2007 Yeah, this is getting WAY out of hand. Maybe it's because he has the word "Gross" in his name, and his first name is something you'd be more akin to naming a terrier after, not a Super Bowl quarterback. He's an average quarterback, he's no Tom Brady or Peyton Manning, but he's good enough, especially after some more experience. He's not any worse than Roethlisberger, and this Bears team is a lot better than last year's Steelers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snuffbox 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2007 How much of the Rex hate at Espn has to do with lingering anger from the experts being so incredibly inept at calling the NFC title game? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cheech Tremendous 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2007 I'm convinced that 90% of these so-called "analysts" don't even watch the games. They get there little media packet and regurgitate whatever they read in there. The book says Rex is awful and so that's the story they beat into the ground. There is little actual thought going into this analysis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2007 I was listening to ESPN Radio and they all are agreeing that the Rex stuff is overblown. Obviously the talking tv heads are the braindead farts following orders. In fact, I'm not sure who it was but one of the ESPN Radio guys ripped on Manning saying that his stats aren't going to win him this game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure Ross the Intern is getting all excited to film another *ahem* "comedy" bit for The Tonight Show and the punters are anxiously awaiting being interviewed by Ukranian TV. They should just turn those little booths they use into dunk tanks and only the reporters that can hit the target are allowed to ask the questions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KingPK 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2007 So who has the most pressure on them in this game? Grossman's out, since everyone's expecting him to suck anyway. Manning's the obvious choice, but that's too easy. I'm gonna go with the Colts defense, Dwight Freeney and the rest of the front four in particular. Grossman likes the long ball and the Colt secondary is probably the weakest part of their D, so if the front line can't get to him, he may be able to connect with a couple of long strikes. They won't really have a speed advantage on the grass (and there's a chance of rain in Miami on Sunday), so the Bears may also be able to get some runs off as well. I'm gravitating towards picking Chicago at this point (If I was betting, I'd take the 7 points easily right now). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Princess Leena Report post Posted January 30, 2007 Marvin Harrison. Winning a Super Bowl would be a big notch on his belt, and this will likely be his last shot at 34. Plus, it would probably solidify him as the #2 all-time WR behind Mr. Rice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
naiwf 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2007 Urlacher. If he's really "the best defensive player in the game" he'll do something special here. I'm sick of the media acting like he's one of the all time greats when he's clearly not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brett Favre 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2007 As good as Harrison is, I don't want to sound like some idiot media member but he really hasn't stepped it up in the playoffs. You look at a guy like TO, with all the crap he pulls, he's had pretty good playoff performances including playing on a broken leg. Harrison needs to have a good game.

naiwf 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2007 Yeah because a guy who makes 6 solo tackles a game, averages 4.5 sacks and 1.5 INTs per season and has never scored a TD is really a force to be reckoned with. Statistically, Urlacher's probably the most overrated player in the NFL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KingPK 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2007 Marvin Harrison. Winning a Super Bowl would be a big notch on his belt, and this will likely be his last shot at 34. Plus, it would probably solidify him as the #2 all-time WR behind Mr. Rice. If he becomes #2, he will be FAAAAR behind Rice due to the fact that he only has two postseason TD receptions and always seems to shrink from the spotlight in big games (he didn't exactly do much in the title game).
