Oh hell yea. It's that time of the year again....FOOTBALL BABAAY!!!

Pre-season starts in 2 weeks, then Oakland and New England kick the regular season off September 8th.


Let's go Niners!!! More than 2 wins this year please!!@!11

REDSKINS are so going to the superbowl this year!!!! :P
I wish Joe Gibbs could do for the redskins what he has done with his racing team

Bears all the way. They are my number one team, but the Patriots are my second choice. If the Bears don't do good this season then I'm going Patriots all the way.

Well I'm a cheesehead so I'm still behind the Packers but I don't expect much this year. It's more like a rebulding year but you never know ;)

As long as you got Favre I think you'll be a contending team. imo of course.

They lost a few big players on defense so it's probably gonna worse then last year. :( But again you never know until the season starts

With the new Coach Crennel at the browns will see if they can do something this year. I think they need to switch divisions they play to many tough teams.

For those who enjoy a bit of friendly "pig skin pick 'em" this time of year, I kindly direct your attention to the important information in my signature.

Carry on. ;)

REDSKINS are so going to the superbowl this year!!!! :P

Only by using comp tickets from the NFL. :p

Yay! Niner game today!

Ew. The Bucs suck. There is not one day that goes by that I don't see or hear something Bucs-related and it pisses me off. They're really not all that good.. stupid Floridians.

I root for the Pats because not only are they good, but I'm also from Massachusetts.

That really sucks, and it's really sad. :(

Voice of the Steeler fan checking in:
Look out New England, this is OUR year. Big Ben and the new Steel Curtain WILL lead Pittsburgh to Super Bowl Glory. Bettis will rush for over 1,000 yards, Ward will catch for over 1,000 yards, and Roethlisberger will be the league and Super Bowl MVP.

Of course I can't ask for a repeat of last years 15-1 record, but they will win the division (let's say they finish 13-3) and roll through the AFC playoffs to the Super Bowl, where they will dismantle Atlanta.

GO STEELERS!

I hope, dude... I didn't know you were a Steeler fan!!!

GO STEELERS!!!
Dude! I've been a Steeler fan since the ugly days of Mark Malone and Todd Blackledge at QB! I suffered through the Bubby Brister era, and Merril Hoge was my football hero growing up as a kid. I remeber when Louis Lipps and Rod Woodson were the team's best players. I remember wanting to eprsonally hang Neil O' Donnell for giving the Super Bowl away to Dallas and making Larry Brown look like a competent NFL DB.

So yeah, I've suffered long enough, it's time to bring the title back to Steeltown.

I just wanna say as a Niner fan, it was an absalute privelage to watch Jerry Rice play, and he is without question the greatest receiver of all time(some would argue greatest football player)

Thanks for the memories Jerry!!!

woohooo............ PATRIOTS REPRESENT!!!!!! oh yeah, we're gonna go to the superbowl AGAIN this year! WOOHOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol, and of course i live right near philly so you can imagine what it was like for me during the superbowl last year. lol, not fun at all. but the patriots kicked their asses anyway, haHA!!

The way the off season and pre season went I'm not expecting anything from the Packers this year :( Favre seems in shape but the defense looks worse. I'll keep hoping for at least a wildcard spot in the playoff.

Oak-town is my number two team, so I'll be rooting for them tonight. Fuck the Pats!!!

RAIDER NATION BABY!!!!

As a huge Saints fan, I am worried about them not having the chance to play their first Superbowl in the Superdome....:D

Me and my friends were talking football a few days ago and came to the conclusion that the saints are probly gonna win the Super Bowl. heh.

Yeah, New Orleans didn't freeze over but it did flood over and it is hell right now..

From what little I've seen I don't hold too much hope for a return to the Superbowl, if McNabb gets hurt again, we'll probably struggle, but you never know with him & TO.

Oh HELL yea babay!!!

The Niners played great against St.Louis and beat them 28-25! I was a little shocked, I was expecting to get our asses handed to us. :p

Our Defense was oustanding. Bulger was sacked 7 times.:cool:

There were a few suprises today but that happens on week 1 ;)

I'm a little disapointed in the Packers performance but Detroit is better then last year that's for sure.

By then I'll be so far ahead in first place it wont matter. :cool:



My god the Niners got slaughtered yesterday...Not really much of a surprise though..

Sob Sob, the niners sob, have really learnt how to choke big time!!

Maybe if I close my eyes very tightly and wish very hard I can still believe it's 94/95 ahh there goes Steve Young rolling out of the pocket, a perfect spiral to Rice, and Rice is in for a TD............damn it isn't working!

Guess I'd better face it.....we suck!!!

Ah well, there's always the Draft.

By then I'll be so far ahead in first place it wont matter. :cool:



Last I checked I outscored the nearest competitor by almost 20 points last week. Haven't checked today's scores yet though.

Well, looks like we've lost Pennington for the season. Yay for being the Patriots bitch for the 5th season in a row...oh yeah, looks like Fiedler could be out for the season too. All in the same game...:rolleyes:

The Bears and Bangles game was amazing, I've always told people how HORRIBLE the bears are, and yet people still stand by them.

yep...3 games and we're toast.

Did someone say Testaverde?!?!?!

What a crock man!!! now I can't enjoy the season!

Even though I live in Michigan, I'm a die-hard Packers fan (the U.P. is more like a part of Wisconsin anyway :p ), and I must say I am extremely dissapointed with the team's performance so far. 0-3? Come on guys, get it the hell together here! If we win the next 13 games though, we have a chance at the NFC North! ;)

I was at the Packers/Browns game, and I truely believed they could come back and win. Then they didn't kick the on-side w/ 3 minutes left after they scored! If they had done that, the outcome of the game could've been different! Why they didn't do that I'll never understand.

So that's my two cents. And, even though they are completely sucking, I still say GO PACK GO!
-Craig

I'm originally from NC, so my fav. team is definately the Panthers. Disappointing start so far at 1-2, but I think we're good enough to turn it around and have a great season. As long as we don't have 14 players on IR like last year. :x:D

I decided to change the title of this thread because there was some college football this week that could only be considered to be classic.

The first and foremost is obviously USC vs. Notre Dame in what many are calling one of the greatest games of the last quarter century.

Quinn, the ND quarterback, ran the ball in for a touchdown with 2 minutes to go.

The USC Trojans had a winning streak spanning 3 years on the line and their backs against the wall.

Matt Leinart stood in the face of adversity and put together the drive of his collegiate career and the drive that at this point, he'll always be remembered for.

Notre Dame thought they'd won the game when Leinart was hit short of the goal line, but the ball was hit out of bounds and they were given 7 seconds.

It was there that Leinart faked a spike and punched it into the endzone with three seconds on the clock. The Trojans roll on.

The other was Penn State and Michigan.

Penn State, a revitalized team, worked their way to become the #8 team in the country after a couple of horrendous seasons.

Michigan was beating Penn State, when the Penn State quarterback sneaked one in with less than a minute to go.

It looked like Penn State was going to continue their undefeated season, but Michigan got good field position and with one second remaining on the clock Michigan scored a touchdown to win 27-25.

Holy hell, what a great weekend of football.

ehh, i'm not big into college ball. I will watch a USC or Cal game though... Just coz they're Cali teams.

Well I've pretty much giving up on the Packers going to the playoff now. The last second lost yesterday wasn't fun and now they lost Green for the rest of the season. Ferguson is also out for a month. They'll be using a third string RB, and missing 2 top receivers. To make it worse they face Cincinati, Pittsburgh, Atlanta, Minnesota and Philadelphia in the next 5 weeks. I doubt even think they will finish with a winning record :(

gaaahhh..The Niners are just pathetic...

I guess after a 20 year run like we had we were bound for some horrible seasons..

Im just glad the Eagles got very lucky to Win this weeks game. The NFC East is full of great teams this year. We wont have a free ride to the SuperBowl this time.

Gah... I can't believe my team, The Patriots, are doing so poorly this season! They put Brusquey back in the game, but I think that's a big mistake. One stroke is enough- he needs to retire or something.

I'm also starting to root for the Broncos. Coincidentally, they won their game against the Eagles yesterday as I officially started to root for them.

On the contrary...Bruschi had a good game considering the circumstances. 7 tackles coming back after 8 months on the sidelines. If anything, it was the offense that was suffering. Brady and Co. until the second half was God awful.

Bears all the way! 3 in a row so far. Thats a very good start considering there go awful season last year:(

The Chicago Bears are in First of their Division and the Green Bay Packers are in Last!!!!:D :D
WHOOO HOOO!!!! ALL IS RIGHT WITH THE WORLD!!!! SUCK IT UP CHEESE HEADS!! :p:p

Im just glad the Eagles got very lucky to Win this weeks game. The NFC East is full of great teams this year. We wont have a free ride to the SuperBowl this time.
Damn right! GO GIANTS!! WOO HOO!! What an effin game this past Sunday versus the Hogs.

Regardless of how good Terrell Owens is, he's an asshole.

I'm not an Eagles fan and I have no idea what they feel as to what TO is doing, but the drama that he's caused for his team is fucking weak.

Quit acting like a fucking baby and play if you're going to play.

I give him ALL the credit in the world for playing the Super Bowl hurt, but for everything that he's caused this season, he's lost all respect.

Sure, he's good, but please stop being an asshole.
Oh well, he's been suspended indefinitely from the Eagles now. Say "bye bye".

Actually, he's been suspended for 4 games, then he will be deactivated for the rest of the season. I give the Eagles organization much props for having the balls to do that.

Crap, I didn't see that. Thank you much. :)
Andy Reid is now my "15 Minute Hero", starting.....


....now.

I'm an Eagles fan and I have lost all respect for T.O. I think its just dumb what he said about the organization and Donovan McNabb. He's such a jerk. Unfortunately he's really good but his attitude sux. At least now hopefully they'll spread the ball around more and give other receivers more of a chance. Anyway I think the Eagles are way better off without him.

peace:cool:

Congrats to Indianapolis for getting the chip off of their shoulder. Don't count the Pats out though. People think that they'll be facing the Pats again in the playoffs and it may be a completely different story.

If they do, they'll be playing in Indianapolis, so you gotta give the Colts the edge if that happens. They showed how much more of a dominant team they are than the Pats tonight. Now that they have a defense, I dont see many teams that they can't beat.

But you know that saying...Any given Sunday.

TAMPA, Fla. - James Dungy, the 18-year-old son of Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy, was found dead in a Tampa-area apartment, police said Thursday. No foul play is suspected, but a cause of death won't be announced pending an autopsy, said Vida Morgan, a secretary in the Hillsborough County sheriff's office.

I could'nt find an updated article, but I just heard on the sports talk radio show I'm listening that it was a apparent suicide. :[


The Colts were already my pick to win the Super Bowl, but with this news I have no doubt in my mind that they will win it, and they'll play in James Dungy' honor.


R.I.P. James Dungy

Haha, last week Bears game was pretty good. I thought it was funny. Haha, I was watching it with my friends and all we were doing was laughing during the whole thing. lol. I can't wait for the Bears and Green Day on Christmas. :p

For us here in Tampa, this is like a kick in the gut. We consider Tony and his family as part of our family here and this is just horrific news.

My prayers will be with the Dungy's this Christmas.

He beat me earlier in the season, but I'm ready this time.

He's not unbeatable and I'll prove that next week.

VICTORY IS MINE! :cool:

Hell Yeah Baby, CHICAGO IS STILL IN THE GAME!!;)
Heck yes. Gotta love them Bears. haha

gaahh. I can't believe the Niners fucking won.


Bye Bye Reggie Bush. :(

gaahh. I can't believe the Niners fucking won.

I know, I've been cheering for the Jets to lose all season...they can't even LOSE right :mad:

So... how about that drop kick that hasn't been made for like... six decades? GO PATRIOTS!!!! I love them.

Hail to the Redskins!!!!! :D
I'm so excited we are in the playoffs!!!!

So... how about that drop kick that hasn't been made for like... six decades? GO PATRIOTS!!!! I love them.


You rock for that comment. I love the Patriots - my homeboys, literally. I live a couple miles away from Gillette Stadium. I'm so glad they made the playoffs again this year. Not sure if they're Super Bowl bound. I'd hate to sound spoiled and say 'yes'.... but you never know. ;)

And yes, Flutie's dropkick on Sunday was awesome. I'd never seen one before in football. Belicheck should've used him again later in the game as a quarterback, though. I'm not impressed with the Cassell guy. Sorry - just my opinion.

I'm gonna root for "da Bears" in the playoffs.





DAAAAAAAAA bears da bears da bears da bears da bears da bears da bears da bears da bears da bears da bears da bears!!!

Not really a "Bears fan", but I will be, come playoff time. That is because my suck ass team the Niners arent there. :)

What an amazing College Football Bowl Season.

Great finish to an amazing year.

In the Orange Bowl, you had a triple overtime thriller between Penn State and Florida State and tonight was the biggest game of the year between the #1 USC Trojans and #2 Texas Longhorns.

Amazing performance tonight by Vince Young.

Vince Young went 30 of 40 for 267 yards and rushed for 200 yards for three touchdowns including the winning touchdown and subsequent 2 point conversion with only 19 seconds left in the game. He literally carried the team on his shoulders. It was a back and forth struggle all the way.

Gotta give it up though for LenDale White too. 20 rushes for 123 yards and three touchdowns and I think that if they won the game, he'd have officially been the MVP. With all the hype that Reggie Bush has, LenDale has more touchdowns than Bush has had this season and aside from that LenDale's only a junior. Next year, you know he's going to be considered a Heisman candidate, though he should have been given consideration here too.

Both of these games are going to be in consideration for the top game of 2006. You couldn't ask for a better game than tonight's USC-Texas game.

Texas won their 20th consecutive game, breaking USC's 34 game winning streak.

Vince Young is flat out sick. That game was amazing. Easily the best in the past couple of years imo.

I can't wait to bust my buddies balls at work tomorow. He thought SC was a lock. haha..

Young... WOW! He is one hell of a quarterback. Ive never seen a quarterback take off running with the ball as much as he did. I was a little skeptical in the beginning. Texas just couldn't keep the ball. Its amazing how fast they move when they fumbled to get teh ball back. It was an amazing game

That was one helluva game. I'm glad texas won, cause it shut my mom up...she'd been cursing and screaming for hours, and i was trying to sleep..lol

Me loves playoff football!!

I'm going to pick the Redskins, Jaguars, Giants and Bengals. I think the Jags can pull off the upset.

ohhhh a bold pick Christoph!! It will definitely be an upset!

I'm going with TB, Jacks, Giants and Cinci. I've always like TB for some reason.

I'm going with Washington, New England, Pittsburgh, and Carolina.:eek:

GO Pittsburgh STEELERS!!!!!!!!

*waves invisible terrible towel madly around*

How AMAZING was Brady's pass that hit the umpire? That was hilarious. I'm glad the guy wasn't hurt though (that's why I joke of it now). So far, this has been an interesting game- Patriots vs. Jaguars at Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts. Pats are leading seven nothing at the moment.

Anyone else think Vrabel is the hottest guy to walk the planet? Lol.
:cool: (<- Wearing sunglasses to protect eyes from Vrabel's hotness, lol)

Well, so much for that Jaguars prediction :-/

Well I'm 0-2 so far :(

28-3 Patriots.

We're superior up in the north. Literally. We're up above the rest of America, New England.

Well I'm 0-2 so far :(

haha, i'm 2-2 so far. Seriously, I dont know why you and Chris picked against the Pats. :p

The Skins/Bucs game was great. It could of been even better if Simms didnt throw that 2nd interception..

28-3 Patriots.

We're superior up in the north. Literally. We're up above the rest of America, New England.
Lol, you live in the same state as me but you talk as though you live up there? I don't get that one. But I gave you a good rep anyway. Always nice to here from a Pats fan. :cool:

haha, i'm 2-2 so far. Seriously, I dont know why you and Chris picked against the Pats. :p
How can you be 2-2 with only 2 games played :p

Honestly I don't like the Pats. Not because they beat a team I like, but I just find them boring to watch. Like they slow the game down or something. I have the same problem with the Colts.

oh man the skins game... after that game was over i had a headache. Skins got lucky that the one touchdown was an incomplete. The last 3 minutes of the game was pretty exciting. I went crazy when washington caught that interception. It was great. But i do wish simms would of gotten sacked one good time after he rushed the ball and made a hand motion for one of the skins to tackle him. :D

How can you be 2-2 with only 2 games played :p
uhhhh....Magic!!! And a few beers.. :p

I don't think he means 2 AND 2. I think he means 2 FOR 2. If that's the case, then Mike's just getting lucky. It's not like he has any skills or anything. Probably stealing the picks from Inside The NFL. :cool:

So the Panthers handled NY with ease. Eli had a very poor first playoff game.

It's a shame Carson Palmer got hurt. They sure would of had a better shot to get the W. They did have a terrific season though.

How can you be 2-2 with only 2 games played
Well now I am 2-2 after todays game. :p

On a sidenote, Vince Young announced he will be entering the NFL draft. He's a top 3 pick for sure.



And I have super mad skills ceez.

The whole Giants had a poor game. Buress wasn't use, Tiki couldn't run and the defense just died. Sucks to see them get beaten like that :(

Well I'm 0-4, really crappy week end for me.

The Top 3 picks for next year are pretty much a lock now, we just don't know the order yet ;)

Well, I was 4-0, so, yay for being lucky.:D I was actually kinda disappointed by the games this weekend. The only one that was really close was Washington and Tampa Bay. Oh well, my Panthers now get to advance and play...Chicago.... Hmmm, hopefully it will be different than the game they played in the regular season.

28-3 Patriots.

We're superior up in the north. Literally. We're up above the rest of America, New England.


*lol* I wouldn't go so far as to say that. But the Pats did rock on Saturday.

Denver, here we come! With a few more oxygen tanks than last time, too. hee hee


That was a horrible and corny little joke I made, wasn't it?

Oh well, my Panthers now get to advance and play...Chicago.... Hmmm, hopefully it will be different than the game they played in the regular season.


Oh I'm pretty sure it's going to be very similar to the regular season. :)Except that Grossman is in, SO the Panthers are going down, again. :D My only question is if Warren will get in at all. He threw very well against the Vikings and I'd like to see him in action again. I'm sure Grossman will be starting though. :)

GO BEARS!!!!!
DA BEARS,DA BEARS,DA BEARS,DA BEARS,DA BEARS,DA BEARS,DA BEARS,DA BEARS,DA BEARS,DA BEARS,DA BEARS,DA BEARS,DA BEARS,DA BEARS,DA BEARS,DA BEARS,DA BEARS,DA BEARS,DA BEARS,DA BEARS,DA BEARS,DA BEARS,DA BEARS,DA BEARS,DA BEARS,DA BEARS,DA BEARS,DA BEARS,DA BEARS,

*cheers* Bears rock!

Oh I'm pretty sure it's going to be very similar to the regular season. :)Except that Grossman is in, SO the Panthers are going down, again. :D
I think they'll be facing a different Panther team than they did in the regular season. They're playing much better. And considering they just shutout a very potent offense in the Giants, that can't bode well for the Bears.

It should be a pretty good game though. :)

Yes, but Carolina has also managed to be horribly inconsistent all season.:( So it really depends on whether Carolina, especially their defense, comes out and plays like they did against the Giants, or whether they play the way they did against Dallas near the end of the regular season. Either way, this game is not going to be a very high scoring affair.

Even though Reggie Bush has been the obvious choice for #1, with Vince Young and LenDale White apparently headed for the draft, who do you think the Texans will actually pick? According to ESPN, there's been increasing support for Vince Young. He's from Texas and would serve as a backup to David Carr. And then you have LenDale White, the short yardage back for Reggie Bush. White actually had more touchdowns than Bush this season. It looks like #1 is going to be a lot harder than what it was before.

And remember, you still have Matt Leinart.

Who do you think going to when the Super Bowl this year?:confused:
I got my bet on the Panthers!:p

/me hangs head in shame

:( I can't believe the Redskins lost. My throat hurts from yelling at the tv. We should of had the game. But i knew in my heart we would mess it up someway. What was up with Moss. He's so quick with catching the ball if its knocked out of his hands. he lost it a couple of times.

So Tom Brady is now 10-1 in the playoffs. Denver played a helluva game. Turnovers told the story in this one.

[EDIT]
Wow, Pittsburg is up 14-3 at the half.

I'm a little brokenhearted that the Pats lost last night. *sheds a tear* They made way too many mistakes last night, and Denver was able to capitalize on all of them. I give 'em credit for that... though this afternoon on CBS' NFL Today, the commentators interviewed one of the Broncos players, and he acted a little arrogant when he talked about how happy he was that the Pats couldn't repeat in the SB this year. I can't stand it when people are cocky.

So now I'm rooting for Seattle or Carolina, whoever makes it to the SB out of the two teams.

It's always best to root for the team that beat you. That way at least you can say "The SB champs beat us and not just some other team." That's just my take on it.

And, MY OH MY. The Steelers are beating the Colts in the 4th quarter, 21-10. The Colts were down 21-0 at one point. Very interesting.

EDIT: About 5 minutes left in the 4th, Colts driving down the field, Manning throws an interception. It's practically over.

EDIT2: Or maybe not.

/play by play

2 minutes left in the game, Colts down by 3 with the ball on the 20.

[EDIT] Steelers just forced them into a 4th and long situation and sacked Manning. Steeler ball. Game Over. Wow.

[EDIT2] Holy fuck the colts just forced a Bettis fumble

[EDIT3] Vanderjack(sp) missed a 46 yard field goal that would of sent the game into OT.
Damn, what a game.

he missed he missed!!!! OMG what an ending.

I'm so glad the Colts and Pats are gone.

Dungy's a fucking bum. Why not go for short yardage to get an extra set of downs? Kept going for the kill. Idiot.

30 seconds into the Bears game and what happens? A fuckin touchdown by the Panthers. Well, that's the Bears for you.. DAMNIT.

Well the Bears' defense was a let down but it was still a good game. We should have 2 good games next week.

Honestly I think the Bears should've lost by the way they were playing.. it's disappointing to see that.

I'm so glad the steelers kicked the colts' butts. Although, mom got pretty pissed off when that fumble happened....lol...

I hope pittsburgh goes to the super bowl...they'd totally deserve it!

The Clots even being in that game was a GIFT by the officials. The overturn of that interception was the single worst officiating call I've ever seen in my life!

Steelers are the team of destiny this year. The Bus will get his ring!

I can see it happening, but the sucky part for the Steelers is that they're not even the favorites after beating the team picked to be the favorite this entire season.

I guess I'll make my picks.

Pit/Den should be close, but my money is on Pittsburgh to win it in the last quarter.

My other prediction is for the Panthers to beat Seattle.

My favorite part of the entire thing was that on the highlights they showed Manning, Dungy, Cowher, and Bettis saying "He missed it."`

I agree with your picks 100%. I think the Steelers actually play better as the road dog this year. I dont' see Denver being able to run for 200 yards against them, and if it's up to Jake Plummer to win it for the Broncos, they can't like their chances too much.

Carolina, even without Foster, I think is just too complete a team for Seattle. I don't know if they have the ability to contain Steve Smith either. Unless Carolina comes out flat like they did over the course of the regular season a few times, I don't see them losing to the Seahawks. The Panthers are really the only team from the NFC that has a balanced enough game to beat either AFC team in the Super Bowl.

Pittsburgh-Carolina would be a Super Bowl for the ages IMO.

All I can say is ... GO STEELERS!

I'd really like to see Denver & Seattle win.

My reasonings are that Carolina beat the Eagles in the '03 playoffs (yes I hold grudges lol) and Denver SMOKED the reigning bitches *ahem* champs... I'm sorry but Brady is a little bitch and it was like Christmas all over again watching the Pats get their asses handed to them.

So I see Denver reigning over Pittsburgh by at least 7, and Seattle reigning over Carolina by 3.

And seeing as how I'm not a huge fan of either Denver or Seattle, my Super Bowl drinking game will probably just be taking a shot when anyone scores instead of my team. Man I'm gonna be wasted. SCORE!

That makes sense, but like Alarandiia (see post above mine) I hold grudges against teams. And I can't stand Pittsburgh... which now makes me a minority in this thread, I guess? Eek! *hides in a dark corner*

Yeah, the Steelers/Colts game was painful to watch, too. Not as painful as the Pats game, but I was 100% sure that Indy would win the SB this year. Just goes to show that upsets happen all the time in the playoffs...

Don't know if i'd call the Steelers' win an upset...they were clearly a better team. Colts couldn't beat them even with a lot of help from the officials.

I predict a Bronco/Seahawk Super Bowl.


*prays I win the trip Wednesday*

*wonders how many bankruptcies were filed post-Colts/Steelers*

*wonders how many bankruptcies were filed post-Colts/Steelers*

You know something...good as the Colts had been all season, I couldn't help but think that they were overrated. Granted, they'd beaten the Steelers earlier in the season, but I don't truly believe that they had much of a schedule outside of the Steelers, Pats and Chargers. I don't think I'd have been so quick to put my money on the Colts at all.

Go Panthers!

I wish Foster didn't go down though, damn that really sucks....

Patriots... lost... Oh.. shit...

*wonders how many bankruptcies were filed post-Colts/Steelers*
Here's the thing about that...the line for that game was Colts by 9 points. Unless you're a myopic Colt fan with your lips firmly attached to Peyton Manning's arsehole, you had to KNOW that the Colts even if they won, wouldn't win by 9. I'd have taken the Steelers in Vegas in a heartbeat against that spread!

Speaking of the Colts...

Has anyone else heard that Tony Dungy (Indy's coach) may leave the Colts and retire from football altogether? It's just speculation right now, but supposedly it's true.

According to ESPN, Dungy at first said he didn't know if he was going to leave or not, leaving uncertainty. However, he then said that he wanted to stay.

It's anybody's guess.

Well with the Pats losing (they are a good team even if Brady is a little bitch :p ) the weekend looked lost, until the Steelers won and saved the AFC. I think Pittsburgh can beat Denver, but I'm not confident enough in them to put money on the game. The Seachickens should beat the crap out of the Panthers, they are just a stronger team and deserve the Bowl appearance.

It all comes down to this...

Super Bowl XL:

Seattle Seahawks vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

Jerome Bettis, likely playing his final game in the most appropriate way.

Matt Hasselbeck and Shaun Alexander have emerged after the NFC Championship as superstars.

It's going to be quite a game. Predictions?

First to score?
How many yards/TD's is Shaun getting?
How will Jerome play a role in his last game?

It all takes place February 5th, to my knowledge, the latest that a Super Bowl has ever been played.

I bet it'll be a really close game. Really close. In your face, too close for comfort, nailbiting close. But I'm rooting for Seattle to win their very first Super Bowl.

MVP? Quite possibly Shaun Alexander. Just a guess, I don't know who else to pick from that team. Or maybe Hasselbeck.

'The angry birds' have my vote :p...Although i'm living in a place where if you don't like the steelers, you're on a hitlist...:p

but, hell...i say 'GO BIG BEN' anyways.....:D

I think as good as Seattle looked yesterday, the Steelers look near invincible. I'm hoping for a close game but when you basically DOMINATE in wins over Cincy, Indy, and Denver, how can you not be a favorite? Then again the Steelers have played better as underdogs this season, maybe the folks in Vegas should make Seattle a slight favorite just to keep that going? LOL.

GO STEELERS!

I really don't see how Seattle can beat the Stealers defense right now. Unless Alexander manages to slip out of a few tackles, he won't be running really far. On the other side, the Stealers can mix things up enough to confuse the defense and manage some big plays. I'm taking the Stealers and the bus gets his ring at home.

*is rooting for steelers*

STEELERS ARE GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL WOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Both my parents grew up in Pittsburgh, so we're real big Steeler fans!

Vegas actually went with the Steelers this time.

Hmm.. I'm very surprised that the Steelers beat the Broncos. *No offense to anyone* I don't know who to root for, but I guess I'll root for the Steelers- they're pretty close to home I guess.

Ok I'm not sure who to root for here .....My Bears didn't make it, so I am really happy that the Seahawks wasted the Panthers. Now the Steelers Slammed the Bears also so I am not happy with them either. :mad:
But the Steelers were a Wildcard team and they haven't been to the Super Bowl in a Really long time. :)
Then the Seahawks have NEVER been to the Super Bowl. :) Plus its gonna be a East Coast Vs. West Coast game. :eek:
So for me it comes down too....Who is the underdog between the two??
Comments? Suggestions? Bets??

OK I made this prediction elsewhere so I might as well stick my neck out here, too. Steelers by 4. I think that they are capable of winning either a shootout or a grind, they just seem stronger and more convinced that they can win. I'm not sure about more hungry, but definitely more confident.

All I need to say is Steelers.

I don't know a thing about football, but my brother has been to every Hawks game [in Seattle] this year and everyone around here is omgyayseahawks.

Soo.. go Seahawks?

For all the press that Bettis and Rothlisberger, Alexander and Hasselback get, be warned, these are two of the best defenses on any field right now. Remember Peyton Manning's utter befuddlment at the Steeler defense? And he's about as good as they come. No, the winner will be the offense that can keep it's cool in the face of the defensive onslaught. This will be no shootout. I like Rothlisberger's versatility. But then I'm a former Pittsburgher so..

Go Steelers!!!!

*hails former pittsburgher* XD

Haha, well my Spanish teacher is from Pittsburgh, and she told me that I had to root for the Steelers today. Lol, I guess that's what I'm rooting for then! Lol, apparently she went out with one of the guys on that team. That's hilarious.

I have already requested the Monday after the Super Bowl off. Something tells me I won't be at 100% the next day. ;)

I think it's time for The Bus to win his well-deserved (yes, ToB, I said well-DESERVED) Super Bowl ring and I'm a big fan of Troy Palumalu (sp?). I also like the blue-collar feel that comes with the Steelers. And their D is fucking SICK!! And come on, isn't it time for Bill Cowher to win a ring with the Steelers/Rooney's who have been so loyal to him although he hasn't won a ring for them yet? So...

LET'S GO STEELERS!!!!!!!!!!

Final prediction before the big game:

Steelers 24 - Seahawks 21.

Well I think its come down to me wanting to root for the Seahawks.;)
They are the team that hasn't been to the Super Bowl.
I won't mind if the Steelers win, but I think I want the Seahawks to wip-'em but Good!(for the Bears sake if for no other.):D

No matter who wins or loses, Pennsylvania is so screwed. :p

If the Steelers win, PA will be filled with drunk and crazy people. If the Steelers lose, then PA will STILL be filled with drunk crazy people.

My school went Steeler crazy on friday. If i hear the Pittsburgh Steeler Polka one...more....time..*twitch* That and the other Steeler songs...@_@ NUTCASES!!!!! And now they're playing them on every goddamn radio station, it seems like....

As a result, i am rooting for teh Seahawks. So pray god that i don't get myself killed...:D

But, perhaps, as a resident of Latrobe, i should root for my team, The Bus, and Big Ben.....

I need a pop.....XD

Me, too! I'm rooting for the Seahawks. Pittsburgh is a tough team, but I think Seattle can pull it out in the end. Matt Hasselbeck and Lofa Tatupu are also kinda hometown boys for me - one is from Norfolk, Mass., and the other is from Plainville. Oh and Seattle's coach looks like my uncle Bill. No, seriously. He does! *lol*

Well, if ol' Ben keeps throwing interceptions, The Seahawks may actually win..:p

GO SEAHAWKS!!!!!

Congratulations to the Pittsburgh Steelers for winning Super Bowl XL!

You couldn't have asked for a better ending to a season than this one.

The Steelers late in the season, were counted out as a playoff team two months ago after a 7-5 record and they swept out the season.

Jerome Bettis, hero of the Steelers for the past decade, literally almost ended his career two weeks ago with a fumble that could have swept the momentum to the juggernauts of the regular season, the Indianapolis Colts.

Ben Roethlisberger made the play that he'll be remembered for with a shoestring tackle that saved the game, their season, and a shot at the Super Bowl.

And even a slow start couldn't stop the Steelers from doing what nobody, aside from maybe SOME Steeler fans believed in. And that was winning the Super Bowl.

Jerome Bettis, in his final season, in his final game, in his hometown, on the Super Bowl, goes down in glory and the history books. In five years, The Bus will likely make a new home in Canton, Ohio.

Roethlisberger becomes the youngest quarterback to ever win the Super Bowl, and he did it in only his second season.

More credit to someone who finally deserved it...Bill Cowher. Years of frustration even in contention, could have done Bill Cowher's career in. Through O'Donnell, Stewart, Maddox, and even in Roethlisberger's rookie season, people wondered if he'd ever win a Super Bowl in the black and gold. He proved doubters wrong tonight.

Also, congratulations to the Seattle Seahawks. They gave everything they had and in the end, it was just not to be. But based on how they've played this entire season, I have a feeling that you'll be hearing the Seahawks as contenders for years to come and they may be back next year as favorites to win it this time.

Credit to Matt Hasselbeck who was rather aggressive all game long. He didn't lose confidence in his wide receivers or in himself even after turning the ball over. He's really become one of the premier quarterbacks in the league after this season.

More great news coming out of this was that the Saints will march back into New Orleans on September 24th. Granted, nothing is going to replace what's already happened there, but this marks a step in the right direction.

what the hell was up with the ref's taking away our first touchdown and just giving the steelers their first one? he was barely on the line. rahh.

what a crappy game.

Yes, there was a couple big calls that Seattle got screwed on. That seems to be a theme of the refs this off-season.

Kind of a yawner Super Bowl imo. It is nice to see Cower and Bettis finally get a ring though.

Kind of a yawner Super Bowl imo.
I totally agree. It wasn't much of a game to watch... I had it recorded for me when I got home (because I suck and had to work), but I was getting sort of frustrated with it. Seattle was doing fine in the first quarter, but shortly thereafter... well yeah. Pittsburgh wasn't even that interesting either...

At the end I felt like there were so many times that I could've just got up and stopped watching at any point in the game and I would've missed nothing. I had hoped that it was going to get better... shame. Didn't enjoy the Stones either. The halftime show is starting to bite now. I think it'd be nice for them to just do away with the dancing and the fancy, and just do interviews and shit during halftime.

I spend halftime in the toilet anyhow. ::Sighs:: I was disappointed, but it wasn't bad. Just a bit boring.

End.

For those still cryin gabout the officiating costing Seattle the game...

Great article on ESPN.com

With Ben being only 23 and the nucleus of this team having it's best years ahead of it, I think we just might've witnessed the beginning of the next dynasty. Although they *just* played well enough to win on Sunday.

My teacher had a hangover. It was very amusing. It was late in the day and she was recovering from it, but she sat in her chair by the desk like the entire class. Lol, she's was like... "Mmmm.... you guys can do the work, on... the... board?" Hahhahaahhahahaha. It's so unlike her. Hahahhaahha.

Go Steelers! Congrats!

Well now all we have left is the Pro Bowl. Can't wait to see the Bears up on Defence for that game. :)
Then only thing left is Arena league. I actually caught a game of Chicago and Columbus. The game was actually really cool. I'm gonna have to see about getting to a game sometime soon. :)

I agree, it was a boring Super Bowl this year. Football games usually grab hold of my attention, but this one didn't.

Well, the good thing about the Steelers winning the Super Bowl is that my mom won the top prize in my uncle's playoff pool. :D So of course, I'm happy for her.

Then only thing left is Arena league.

Arena football rocks. I always root for the Philadelphia Soul... 'cause Jon Bon Jovi owns their team. They played a good game last weekend, too. ;)
