[Mister D]

Tough game for the Giants but the Packers game was supposed to be too.

[MMC]

I am going to go with Ball-Tee-More and the Giants. Cuz Georgio said it was all written! Specially bout the Giants, as they are Ancient Text material!

[Conley]

Bold Choices...I hope you are correct. I do not want to see another Belicheat and Brady Super Bowl. :angry:

[Mister D]

I'd be scared to bet against the Giants. They have a history of playoff upsets.

[MMC]

Looks Like that move to bring Josh McDaniels over right before this game. Paid off for Brady and Bunch. I agree with you D.....which is why i thought the Packers would lose on the first round they played. Albeit I think they would have lost to any they played. Still the Giants are not affected by playing in the cold or the rain.

My only concern is the Jet lag like last time.

[Alias]

The Packers secondary was suspect from the start and showed us why.

I predict the Giants will beat San Fran by 4 and New England beats Ravens by 8.

Yeah, that secondary was terrible - couldn't believe they let the Hail Mary drop right before halftime. That was a killer. Of course McCarthy never should have called that T.O. either - Eli said that's when they decided to change up the plays.

Yes. It was a fun weekend of football. I'll check back next Monday to see if I'm right in my predictions.

Offense didn't look so good either to be honest. Not bad but not certainly not what I expected.

[MMC]

Offense didn't look so good either to be honest. Not bad but not certainly not what I expected.

Both SF and NE are passing-teams. Like that Aerial offense. The Giants just need to keep up what their doing and run that ball. If Bradshaw don't work, then throw in Jacobs, if not him the other backup. Also playing smashmouth football like the Giants do will keep the QB on the sidelines and wear down that clock. They can't match up man to man on the recievers so they will play cover two. This also will take from Brady and Smith's game. If not slacked upon. More importantly it gives them control over that clock.

Same identical set up for Ball-Tee-More. Although I think the Ravens have the Better defense over the Giants. But both do rush four and not try to rely on that blitz. Althought the Ravens do blitz more than the Giants.

I think we will have two good games. The Ravens Offense has to step up. Good news is the Ravens have beaten the Patriots in the Playoffs before. Giants have seen the 49ers this year and lost to them once already.

[Mister D]

I hope we have two good games. This is it. let's go out with a bang.

[MMC]

Yeah.....cuz Monday Night Football sure sucked this year!

[Alias]

The conference championship games are often more exciting than the Super Bowl. Very intense.

You probably thought you'd seen the last of Tim Tebow, for a while at least, after the Broncos' 35-point demolition at the hands of the New England Patriots in the NFL playoffs. But there's a good chance you'll be watching the Broncos quarterback again on Championship Weekend.

CBS wants Tim Tebow to join its broadcast as a guest analyst (http://www.usatoday.com/sports/columnist/hiestand-tv/story/2012-01-15/cbs-wants-tim-tebow-in-its-studio-show/52587612/1) for the AFC Championship game between New England and Baltimore.

Tebow's sorry performance against the Patriots, combined with a thrilling finish between the 49ers and Saints, helped Fox beat CBS (http://www.usatoday.com/sports/columnist/hiestand-tv/story/2012-01-15/cbs-wants-tim-tebow-in-its-studio-show/52587612/1) in the Saturday NFL TV (http://thepoliticalforums.com/#) ratings battle.

It's a Miracle!!!!! :grin:

[Mister D]

Yeah.....cuz Monday Night Football sure sucked this year!

It sure did! :angry: Sunday night wasn't bad though.

[Conley]

True, it was the worst MNF season I can ever remember.

On the other hand I thought the playoff games have been awesome. I wouldn't be surprised if we get a stinker in the last three games. I hope not but I feel the football gods have already smiled upon us. :grin:

[Mister D]

I can't wait to put some more Cutler pics up. In time...Mister D...:cool2:

[Conley]

I can't wait to put some more Cutler pics up. In time...Mister D...:cool2:

Cool, you can put all those photos of him in action. One with his surgeons, one with his Eastern healer, one with his chiropractor, one with his physical therapist. Show us the whole team. :grin:

[Mister D]

Cool, you can put all those photos of him in action. One with his surgeons, one with his Eastern healer, one with his chiropractor, one with his physical therapist. Show us the whole team. :grin:

:rollseyes: Next September you will be a new chapter in the Cutler saga. After recovering from his suspicious injury (MMC still can't explain his whereabouts that day...the warehouse...yea) he will launch the Bears to the playoffs off his back foot. Mark my words.

[MMC]

:shocked: It's okay if ya want to talk to ya self there D.....I would worry if ya answered yaself! :laugh: :tongue:

[Mister D]

I predict that come September MMC and I will both be cheering for Cutler. :smiley:

[MMC]

True dat.....unless they were to trade him. Also now that Angelo is gone and with Sleepy going out the door next year. Cutler's protection is gone as a Franchise player. Which then he will want to be traded.

He's used to not having any protection. :grin:

[MMC]

Colts Dropped Caldwell today.....wonder who wants that job? Did they say if they had any body interviewing?

[Conley]

It is a really strange time to firing someone...their season has been over for a while. I think they are removing everyone who is loyal to Manning. First the GM, then the VP, now the coach. The owner wants Luck and he is cleaning house. I haven't read of any names for that job yet.

[MMC]

Raiders have asked to interview Mike Tice for their Head Coaching Job......I hope they take him. Then the Bears can go with a real offensive Coordinator. Course they still need to find a real Defensive Coach too!

[MMC]

WTF.....Da Bears Want to interview the Former GM of SD for their General Manager. What have they gone mad??? :angry:

[Conley]

Who is that?

[Mister D]

Who dat, Conley. :rollseyes:

[Conley]

Who dat, Conley. :rollseyes:

You've been spending too much time with the Nugget chicks behind Mickey D's. :shocked:

[Mister D]

Kadeisha? She's my girl.

[Conley]

Kadeisha? She's my girl.

She's my shortie, Mister D. :rollseyes:

[Mister D]

She's my shortie, Mister D. :rollseyes:

On snap....

[Alias]

Super bowl.....San Fran vs Baltimore. Harbaugh vs Harbaugh. Ratings through the roof.

[Mister D]

Giants might upset San Fran...

[Conley]

Meanwhile, business as usual in San Diego:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlOVRb4duec

[MMC]

Who is that?


The Chicago Bears wrapped up their second interview for the vacant general manager position, spending Tuesday with Jimmy Raye III, the director of personnel for the San Diego Chargers.
Raye met with the Bears as a candidate to replace Jerry Angelo, who was fired on Jan. 3. He is the second candidate to meet with the team, following Jason Licht, the director of player personnel for the New England Patriots, who was in Monday.....snip~


Thats WHO! :angry: :wink:

[Conley]

Um, yeah, that guy is not a "former GM". :laugh:

I pray for you and JC that you don't hire anyone from the Charger organization. They have a commitment to mediocrity!

[MMC]

Amen.....erm I mean Tim Tebow to that! :laugh: :grin:

[Conley]

You will like that video I posted...it is funny (for those that have speakers on their computer :wink:)

[MMC]

You will like that video I posted...it is funny (for those that have speakers on their computer :wink:)

Well they do have some hot cheerleaders in SD.....maybe they needs to try those diversionary tactics like in the Replacements. :laugh: :wink:

[Conley]

Good point. We have awesome cheerleaders and great uniforms. Everything else BLOWS. :laugh:

[MMC]

Good point. We have awesome cheerleaders and great uniforms. Everything else BLOWS. :laugh:


Well Chicago is so broke they cant even sign a top running back in the league.....plus we can't even afford Cheerleaders! :laugh:

[Conley]

Yeah, our team wants the city to pay for their new stadium, or else they will have the City of LA build them one.

I say don't let the door hit your ass on the way out! :angry:

You watch that video yet? :grin:

[Mister D]

Good point. We have awesome cheerleaders and great uniforms. Everything else BLOWS. :laugh:

Everyone has awesome cheerleaders. :grin:

[Alias]

Giants might upset San Fran...

I don't see San Fran beating the Giants. I'd love to see Harbaugh vs Harbaugh, but I just don't think it's gonna happen.

[Conley]

Everyone has awesome cheerleaders. :grin:

Not Chicago.







:grin:

[Conley]

I don't see San Fran beating the Giants. I'd love to see Harbaugh vs Harbaugh, but I just don't think it's gonna happen.

I thought that was your Super Bowl pick a few posts back - Harbaugh v. Harbaugh?

[MMC]

Yeah, our team wants the city to pay for their new stadium, or else they will have the City of LA build them one.

I say don't let the door hit your ass on the way out! :angry:

You watch that video yet? :grin:


Yeah thats why I said what I did about the Cheerleaders. :grin:

[MMC]

Not Chicago.






:grin:

True Dat!!!!! Plus we might not have a top running back in the league anymore.....too! :laugh:

Packers OC moves to Head-Coach for Miami! :shocked:

[Mister D]

No games today. :undecided:

[Conley]

I would prefer them having one game today and one tomorrow. They won't listen! :cry:

[Mister D]

I would prefer them having one game today and one tomorrow. They won't listen! :cry:

The whole thing is coming to a close. We'll have to find another topic for Sunday. :angry:

[Conley]

Yeah, it's been a fun season, will be sad to see it go.

[MMC]

I would prefer them having one game today and one tomorrow. They won't listen! :cry:

What's up with that brutha.....U need to make them an Offer they can't refuse. :laugh:

[Mister D]

We'll think of something.

[MMC]

Chicago Blackhawks are in First again.....they will be in the playoffs and I doubt they get knocked out in the first round like last time. But thats about the only time I watch really watch them.

Hopefully there will be some good boxing match-ups. Other wise the dreaded 162 games of baseball and boredom will be starting up.

[Conley]

It is beginning to sound like the Mayweather - Pac Man fight might really happen.

[MMC]

Thats all that is left too.....There needs to be some new blood out there that really are good.

[MMC]

I am here my bruthas.....<<<<<out of breath from hurrying up to get back in time for the game. :wink:

[Conley]

Whoo - me too! Hoping for Baltimore! :grin:

[Conley]

I think D might be at church.

[MMC]

Whoo - me too! Hoping for Baltimore! :grin:


Same here.....even tho NE scored first with that field goal. Also Ray lewis should have fell on Wes Welker with an elbow there on that missed passed in the end zone. They should always be laying the smack-down on Welker any chance they get. Same with Brady.

They also need to be ready as Brady relies hevily on the Bomb.....and the Big Interference call. Take that away from Brady and he has major problems in a game. Especially when he can't get the interference call.

[Conley]

Good call on Lewis. Too bad the int didn't count.

Balt looks terrible. :sad:

[MMC]

Alright Interception on Brady! :yo:

[MMC]

Ball-Tee-More driving.

[Conley]

Tie game! Wish they got 7 though.

[MMC]

They needed a TD there. They can't just match the Patriots. But I do like seeing brady get pists off. The more he gets that way the more he will make mistakes. So far it is a game tho!

[MMC]

They just need watch Welker.....he is another one that plays for the bogus call. They shut down Welker. Brady loses! Whoa Ray Lewis buried the RB there.

[MMC]

As usual The Patriots always get that lucky penalty to save a Brady drive. NE TD. :tongue20:

[Conley]

Freaking Patriots...they got their 7

[Conley]

They needed a TD there. They can't just match the Patriots. But I do like seeing brady get pists off. The more he gets that way the more he will make mistakes. So far it is a game tho!

Right, Brady has been rattled against Baltimore before.

Alright, B driving now.

[MMC]

TD Ravens....:icon_cheers:

[Conley]

Woo!

[Conley]

Balt D needs to step up.

[Mister D]

Some sloppy tackling out there that's for sure.

[Conley]

D in da houzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz :afro:

[MMC]

The Ravens needed to score there at least to tie it up. Yep NE will get the ball to start the second half. but at least it has been a good game so far.

[MMC]

Awwwwwight Peanut of Da Bears contender for the Payton Award! Also Phillp Rivers and the Rivers of Hope.(is this a future political campaign) :laugh:

[Conley]

Awwwwwight Peanut of Da Bears contender for the Payton Award! Also Phillp Rivers and the Rivers of Hope.(is this a future political campaign) :laugh:

:laugh: More like Rivers of Tears, for all Charger fans! :angry:

[MMC]

TD Ravens.....:icon_cheers: They needed to score there. Otherwise Brady would smell blood on this next drive.

[Conley]

Alright Baltimore with the recovery!

[Mister D]

D in da houzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz :afro:

Happy about the later games today.

[MMC]

Brady 3rd Interception.....damn penalty, offsides Ravens.

[Conley]

Fing Pats :angry:

[Conley]

Overturned!!!

Well at least Brady got splattered.

[MMC]

Damn See how Brady went over the top.....where was the middle of the line? NE up by 3. Thats why the Ravens needed that TD after the fumble.

[Mister D]

That interception hurt.

[MMC]

Alright the Ravens were ready for the Brady bomb(which all knew was coming) and interception right back. :wink:

Tho they cannot just try and tie the game up Brady will eat that shit up and win with less than a minute on the clock.

[Conley]

Terrible play on third down. :sad:

[Mister D]

Awful but ballsy as hell to go for it on 4th. Wow. :shocked: Timeout though

[Mister D]

yikes

[Conley]

Even worse on 4th down. :angry:

[Mister D]

Was in the den. Glad I didn;t see it

[Conley]

Not over yet!

Anyone think that was a TD catch for Balt? Ruled incomplete.

[Mister D]

Threatening a TD win!

[Conley]

Oh well bite me. Awful.

[Mister D]

Wouldn't want to be that guy...

[Conley]

Wouldn't want to be that guy...

Haha, nope!

[Mister D]

Haha, nope!

:laugh: Roomie made a good point though. Don't feel too bad for him. He'll make more money this year than I'll see in a decade.

[Conley]

:laugh: Roomie made a good point though. Don't feel too bad for him. He'll make more money this year than I'll see in a decade.

You're assuming Ray Lewis doesn't kill him. :grin:

[MMC]

He missed it.....damn it I was answering that other post. Wtf was that? Think the Ravens will call him back next year? :laugh: I wouldnt I would just get another field goal kicker. Can't choke like that. Patriots win it. Even tho Brady threw 3 picks penalty saving him twice. Plus the fumble. Ball-Tee-More.....had the chance. 4th and 6. I go for the field goal. Now it's Up to the Giants for my picks.

[Conley]

He was a pro bowl player, not sure what I would do about it but I would be tempted to cut him.

[Mister D]

You're assuming Ray Lewis doesn't kill him. :grin:

Could be a stabbing in the locker room! :shocked:

[Mister D]

I can miss a 32 yard FG too. :angry:

[MMC]

Okay they made it thru the national Anthem without the lights going out.....so someone at least payed the bill.:laugh:

[MMC]

SF TD! :facepalm:

[Mister D]

If they still in the lead the folks in San Fran won't have any outages tonight. :wink:

[Conley]

It all depends on Nancy. :grin:

[MMC]

Tied Up with the Giants driving!

[MMC]

SF TD and the lead by 4. :undecided:

[MMC]

Giants not running the ball.....if they just go to Manning throwing they will lose.

[Conley]

It's still anyone's game though.

[MMC]

It's still anyone's game though.


Yeah and they still got a quarter to go.....hopefully they can get Jacobs and Bradshaw running. SF is playing cover two due to the pressure so I dont see him getting it deep.

[Conley]

I'm cheering for the Giants because I think they have a better chance against New England.

[MMC]

Giant TD.....:icon_cheers: But there is still plenty of time left.

[MMC]

Looks like it could go into overtime! But 2 mins is a lot of time to get into field goal range.

[Conley]

1:18 now, but Eli has done it before. 2 TOs also.

[MMC]

Overtime.....it's raining here to and the Temperature is dropping. Roads are going to be like Ice again. Guess I will crash and get ready to leave out early tonight. Til Next time!

[Conley]

Giants with the win!

[Mister D]

I had a feeling they would win and I have a feeling they will win the Super Bowl too.

[Conley]

They better. The fate of all mankind rests on Eli and the G-Men. Otherwise Darth Belichick will plunge the galaxy into a thousand years of darkness. :shocked:

[Mister D]

Fun games to watch. The San Fran Harbaugh is a rude, hyper brat.

[Conley]

Fun games to watch. The San Fran Harbaugh is a rude, hyper brat.

Yeah he has a few too many cups of coffee before kickoff.
