LOL I'm sorry, I was unaware that we were only supposed to discuss certain teams, please fill me in on the guidelines for which teams are kosher. Nevermind the fact that there was no arguing going on, just some back and forth from people who do care. And furthermore, I don't remember begging for your knowledge regarding this particular game, yet you act like the onus was on you to divulge some masterful analysis.

FSU can take Northwestern, look out for Tim Pickett. And the ACC will take it for the fifth straight year.

If you want to talk injuries, the Patriots have had more starters this year than any team in NFL history, and they are 10-2. They're starting rookies all over the place, they've had Dan Klecko play like five different position, they had to sign J.J. Stokes and Dedric Ward just so they had enough recievers because Troy Brown, David Patten and David Givens were all injured. With Deion Branch, Bethel Johnson and Ward as their top 3 recievers against the likes of Harrison, Wayne and Walters there's no way the Colts should have lost. Same with Edgerrin James vs. Kevin Faulk. The bottom line is that Tom Brady is clutch and Peyton "0 playoff wins" Manning is not. You're right, the Colts were an inch away from beating the Pats, but Manning didn't get that one inch. Brady would have gotten that inch because that's what he does.

When speaking of the Patriots, and convincing wins, I don't necessarily look at the blowouts, because blowouts don't always tell the story. The bills blew out the Patriots on opening day 31-0. Does that win convince anyone that Buffalo is better than New England? Not really. The Bills are 5-7, now 5 games back of the Pats with four games to go and fighting the Jets for third place. If you want convincing wins by New England, well I think there are a few. After that Buffalo loss they bounced back and beat an admittedly struggling (at the time) Eagles team 31-10. Three weeks later they beat the Titans ( the team everyone seems enamored with) at home by 8. Two weeks later in Miami, the Patriots tied the Dolphins at 13 with 1:49 left in the game after an 8 minute drive orchestrated by Brady. Then on the first play of overtime, he hits Troy Brown for an 82 yard touchdown, game over. Two weeks after that, on a monday night in Denver, down by 1 deep in their own end, they take a safety, kickoff and make the Broncos punt. Brady drives them downfield and throws to David freaking Givens for the winning score. Not to mention the 12-0 shutout of Dallas on a Sunday, which I saw first-hand and convinced me a hell of a lot. Then last week coming from behind in Houston, a game they could easily have lost (being between Dallas and Indy). Then today they held on against Indy with a gutsy goal line stand. If those wins aren't convincing, then I don't know what it is. I still think Kansas City is the team to beat in the AFC, but the Pats are number two.

I'd rather be lucky than good. The bottom line is they've found a way to win 7 in a row, and right now they are clearly the best team in the NFC.

The Eagles haven't been shaky they've won 7 in a row. And the Rams aren't the same team on the road that they are at home, which is where they would play the Bears. The Eagles already beat the Packers in Green Bay on a monday night, what more do you want?

no it wasn't a problem at all. you overstepped your bounds and you were the one who made all the stupid statements and that was why you deleted it. you abused your powers, and if you keep doing that, nobody's going to trust you.

sox4lifeinpa you need to stop editing and deleting posts that do not need to be edited and deleted, and you are only doing so because they expose you as not knowing what you are talking about. i'm sorry you miss your sister--i mean girlfriend so much but don't take it out on the board. you are not a moderator for the purpose of deleting what you don't like. edit or delete one of my posts one more time and see what happens.

TD pats 31-10

Alright here's my prediction, ACC wins for the fifth year in a row

ACC will take it for the fifth year in a row.

Ah yeah he was talking about the Phil Rogers thread, which I have now seen.

Don't know about any prior responses, but without knowing the contract situations of all these guys, I'd say the Brewers got the better of the deal. If we could have unloaded Konerko for Spivey, Overbay, and Counsell I would have done it in a second.

3rd year junior.

pfft...piss on leak. he didn't even know to throw a hail mary with one second left.

oh YEAH. rix is gonna drive me nuts one of these days, but he got it done in the last seconds. this makes the year for me, i'd love it if they won the bowl game but this is the key game. and THIS is one of the reasons I said there's no way you can claim one college football rivalry is clearly superior. stomping on the F, the fight that followed, and carrying off the gator head shows how much intensity this game entails. over 90,000 fans showed up for this one, and the smart ones left happy. drinks all around

No way they trade Peterson, he's young, good, and still has a year left on his low-salary contract.

They had to match salaries.

I played so much NBA Jam as a kid, I can now jump 25 feet in the air.

Oh man am I glad I'm not apu and I don't spend my life b****ing about every single thing the president does on a baseball message board.

Lions only won cause they had the badass unis on.

That's a BS argument. This is hardly the biggest waste when it comes to government spending. NASA anyone?

Let us all remember this is the same magazine that named Jack White of the White Stripes the 17th best guitarist of all-time, above John Frusciante (18th), and named Kurt Cobain #12 (Nirvana made good, but really simple songs) over Carlos Santana (15th), and Angus Young #96.

That would be badass if you could have different mascots on the same team.
