The NFL

“That's a lot of mail.”

“MEEEOOOOOOWWWW...see ya in Seattle!”

“It would appear that the Messiah has been crucified.

”

“Now that the Pats went down I will Revise my prediction to: Carolina vs. Pittsburg with Carolina on top! Go Panthers!!!!!!!!”

“Panthers should be pretty tame by the time they get to Seattle after all the travelling they have done already. The flight out to Seattle will be a very long one. It looks like they also got dinged up by the Bears. And Shaun Alexander appears to be ready to go for next week after the concussion suffered yesterday. The Seahawks should put double coverage on that Steve Smith all day and they will be fine.”

“that was pathetic. what the HELL happened to our o-line? and after that near-miracle comeback, vanderjagt SHANKS it! arrrghhh!i remember at the beginning of the season i thought pitt was the team to beat, then they had all those injuries and almost didnt make the playoffs. theyre healthy now, and look like world beaters.”

“Manning's post game whining was pretty entertaining as well.”

“What more could we have expected out of the colts.

Hey Nigal is that a movie based on Chuck Palianuk's "Choke" ? Read the book. Didn't know there was a movie.”

“Get this stupor bowl over with so spring training can start!”

“Sore loser. The NFL has been entertaining this year and there are some good games left to watch. Eagles need more than training camp Muahhahahhha!!”

“Carolina is looking tough. This weekends win suggests that they won the Giants game as much as the giants lost it. The Seattle game should be good.

The Pats did get winged by a series of bad calls, but if they reacted better - they would have had the game. They seemed to get desperate and try to force plays when the score, the refs and the fans were against them. They lost their composure, focus and the ball too many times. Pittsburgh had the fans and the refs against them and pulled off the upset - although the Broncs held up better than the Colts.

The Broncs might have been beat by Indy, at Indy, but its hard to see them losing to Pittsburgh.

2 weeks ago I would have said Seattle was a cinch to beat Carolina - now its looking like a great game.”

“For 10 sweet days my college team and my hometown pro team were reigning #1s. Sigh...”

“Spring training for baseball IJ!!

31 days!”

“for NASCAR, now thats what I'm talking about”

“the Colts crumbled like Buffalo in a Superbowl.

Go seahawks!”

“The line on the Panthers-Seahawks is only 4 1/2 points? The country is never going to give the Seahawks any respect. If you want to make some easy money take the Seahawks and the points. They are due to play a good game. Expect the game to be a lopsided win for Seattle which may disappoint those of you expecting a close game.”

“When is the Super Bowl again?”

“XL is Sunday, Feb 5 in Detroit. That means there is a week off, and the Seahawk's history after a "bye" week is pretty poor as evidenced by all the mistakes they made this past weekend versus the Redskins.

“The only team that really shined last weekend is Seattle. I have to give them props no matter how ill it makes me to please USA. Winning without Alexander was very convincing.”

“You mean I only have to here about football for another 20 days or so? Sweet. ;-)”

“that was quite possibly the worst exhibition i've seen from the colts in quite a long time...it was disgraceful...how do you go from being the superbowl favorites to losing your first playoff game...the only comfort i can take from that game was that the stealers didn't beat the real colts team...i'm not sure who showed up sunday but it wasn't the colts

GO STEALERS!!!!!....beat those dirty seagulls in the superbowl”

“the only comfort i can take from that game was that the stealers didn't beat the real colts team...i'm not sure who showed up sunday but it wasn't the colts

Not a lick of credit to the Steelers, eh? Maybe they just had a better game plan and outplayed 'em, which may be why they looked like sh_t. You know, I always say, that in the world of professional sports, any team can beat any other team, no matter how great they are reputed to be, on any given day. That's why they are professionals. because, no matter how bad they may play through a season, they are all there because they are thebest at this particular game.”

“no no no no...i give the stealers plenty of credit...they played a great game...that post was for me to rant on how my team played not to stoke another team...the stealers are a great team...part of me would love to see a stealers/bears superbowel but the other part of me wants to see the stealers destroy seattle”

“So manning in a way was forsaken as the Messiah by his Father?



"Father forgive them for they know not what they do! Oh shlt!"”

“and the offensive line must be the disciples cause they did nothing to stop the stealers from crucifying him LOL

if a pro football player was grabbing my nuts i'd probably make that face too

“Did James deny Payton three times? Oh, that's right. That would have been the Steeler's secondary that denied him. HA!

Again, sorry for your loss. Your loss stings more than mine. Hell, we celebrate the Bengals as if they did win the Super Bowl. LOL!”

“i'm ashamed :( ...not just by the lost but also by the fact that i dropped several F bombs in front of little kids :(

one of my friends went to that game...he was amazed by the number of stealers fans all around him”

“Sadly this game hurt me as well. It set a precedence for me never getting points in a play off game.”

“LOL @ Nigal...you're not too got at that betting thing anyway, you wanted to bet on a game that didn't even exist”

“one of my friends went to that game...he was amazed by the number of stealers fans all around him”

typical Indy fans..sell their tickets”

““LOL @ Nigal...you're not too got at that betting thing anyway, you wanted to bet on a game that didn't even exist”

It was a hypothetical game I wanted to get set up as early as possible. Besides, I may not be good at betting but at least I can spell. LOL! And that’s bad when I can say that of someone else.”

“"typical Indy fans..sell their tickets”

There was barely any Steeler fans in The Jungle for our game. There was a big media blitz in Cinci to get people to NOT sell to Steeler fans. But we lost anyhow...”

“that's less of a spelling error and more of a typo...but oh well, it's all got

“Ya good that right buddy! :)”

“typical Indy fans..sell their tickets

that's getting a lot better...there was a Q & A session w/ manning in the indy star this week...he said over his 8 years (wow, 8 years and no title) that he has noticed a dramatic increase in the amount of blue in the stands...and this year we were completely sold out for the season before the first game even started”

“I'm personally glad Indi got beat cause I'm coming over there this weekend and wasn't looking forward to fighting traffic and crowds.”

“indy has no traffic...whatcha doin in indy?”

“Drinking beer and playing D&D with my brother and a few friends.”

“LOL, geek j/k...if ya got the time and you want to, drop me a line and maybe we can do a dayhike or grab some dinner...my wife still needs to meet you so she can find out you're not an axe murderer LOL”

“Extra time is tough thing when it comes to these weekends. We basically start playing around noon on Saturday and play straight through until Sunday afternoon when I race back home to sleep before going into work Sunday night. What we need to do is get a meet and greet car camp out set up so I can finally meet the whole Indi crowd. Like Chain O’Lakes or the Shades.”

“shades wouldn't be bad, a little crowded last time i was there...never been to chain o lakes...or we could do it some place in OH

wait, isn't this a football thread”

“I'm throwing around the idea of doing a kar kamping weekend at Hocking Hills in Ohio in early March.

“that'd be pretty good timing...i have to start hanging around home starting early april to get ready for baby time”

“http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/football/nfl/specials/playoffs/2005/01/17/bc.fbn.heart.stoppingst.ap/index.html

No surprise Steeler fans would have a heart attack at that moment.”

“DENVER - Meet the new favorites to win the Super Bowl: the Denver Broncos.

After putting in an impressive performance to knock out New England, the Broncos sat home Sunday and watched Pittsburgh upset Indianapolis, the previous odds-on favorite to win it all.

Now, the Broncos get a home game next Sunday against the Steelers in the AFC title game, where they’ve been established as a 4-point pick.

And on Sunday afternoon, Vegas oddsmakers said Denver would be favored in the Super Bowl against either of the NFC teams still in the hunt, Carolina or Seattle.

“The Broncos have been flying under the radar the whole season, with the likes of the Colts out there, but now, they’re looking better,” said Jay Kornegay, who runs the sports book at the Las Vegas Hilton.

The numbers: Denver is now the 3-to-2 favorite to win the Super Bowl. Seattle and Pittsburgh were both 5-to-2 and Carolina was 6-to-1.

Sure count the Steelers out and tick them off enough to kick denver's butt too!!!!”

“It looks like Pittsburg will be in the Super Bowl. It would take a miracle for the Broncos to come back now, especially the way they are playing.”

“the way the steelers have played out the end of the regular season and throughout the playoffs, it looks more and more like excellent play by pitt and less of a choke by the colts. they were beaten by a better team last week, which is better than being beaten by a lesser team (but it still sucks). beginning the season, i thought pitt was the team to beat, but injuries almost fcked them. look out seattle or carolina, youre doomed!
