Thanks JtS. I didn't think any criminal charges had been filed, indicating a lack of evidence in both cases.

As far as Ben... I didn't follow that Raptor. I really don't know anything about it. Got any pertinent links? Sorry, but I am not on the ball. >;-)

Looked like a good game on the Game Centre - the team that plays in Ravens colours beat the team that calls themselves the Ravens.

I don't really care except that I was a big fan of the Steelers for a while. Perhaps, better put, I was a fan of the players during "that time". Watching The Steel Curtain, Bradshaw.... that was GREAT football. In 1976, after Bradshaw went down The Curtain shut out 5 of the last nine games (three in a row!) and allowed only two TDs and 5 FGs... unFUCKINGreal.

Minds me, Grogan started the year before and I was was already a died in the wool Pats fan due to our natural ties with the Eastern States. I always loved to watch Grogan play. Too bad the NFL doesn't keep the stats on most broken bones. >;-) Nobody will ever beat his record.

The Patriots have a pretty good gauntlet to traverse Jets, Steelers, Colts, Chiefs, Ravens, they will have to beat two of those teams each coming off victories, and not a 7-9 team in the bunch. They are probably the best in the AFC but if they make it to the Superbowl, they will have earned it.

The NFC is a different story. The Saints seemed to have peaked at the right time the teams with better records look vunerable. The only team without a good chance, I think, is Seattle.

Statistically, Miami is better on the season defensively. Lately, it ain't doing a lot for them. Especially today. I think the stats may have been influenced over the past several weeks but it isn't reflected in the season stats. And, a lot of the teams with better season stats on defense haven't got a hope to go all the way.

It's what I call "peaking at the right time". As I said before, The Belly seems to be able to get the peaking thing down PAT.

In the end, all I really want is to watch exciting football. That Pats game today was okay for a while, but... you know.

Biggest thing for me was seeing the Pats' replacements step up and play amazing games... that Edelman is fucking amazing... and he sits on the sidelines waiting for a chance to play. When you have weapons like that on the sidelines it gives me hopes that number 4 is on the way.

Only thing I am sad about is the kicker, but he is good for every field goal so far... but... can he replace a kicker that is even better than Vinny? It may be the deciding factor if the Pats get to the show.

They are a great team and you already know my relationship with them. However, remember that aside from the Jets there is no one in that division with any substance at all so 4 of the games are gimmies right out of the gate. Steelers can beat them, Ravens can beat them and so can the Colts. It is all going to depend on the game plan and if they can pressure Tommy. Throw out the regular season stats when it comes to the playoff's. Remember the "Perfect season and how it ended" They got a true shot for one for the thumb but it will depend a lot on who they play and how well the other guy is prepared to play them. There run defense is not great either

Yes, Brady is a monster. On a day-to-day basis, nobody keeps pace with him. But my guess is that Brees reads the defenses just a little bit better. And he has that never say die attitude,so you can never count him out. And maybe I just genuinely admire Drew Brees. He strikes me as a man of principle and character, and God knows we need more of them in football,and in life.

Australian Rules, or as my Australian son-in-law calls it, Cross Country Ping-Pong!

I used to think it, and Gaelic, were closest to the original forms of the game - you could more or less play it to the FA 1863 laws. Now I reckon Gridiron is closest to the form introduced to Western Europe by the Roman army.

Yeah... near 4500 air and 32 TDs for Drew. Impressive. 5.3 for Ivory but only 7 TDs on the ground between the top two backs. I dunno.

If the Pats and the Saints played today, I'd bet Pats... $2... >;-). But, who peaks on the last Sunday?... who knows? There's a lot of football between now and then.

Hell... Miami at Pats on Sunday? Like I said, even Buffalo and Miami, even when the are doing shit, seem to be able to rattle the Pats. At least in the past.

I know it's silly to say, but injuries may dictate the rest of the season. I mean, Shockey is a game winner and his nuts are sore.

I wish I could watch ALL the games. Actually, I CAN but it costs coin and I rely on the regular TV networks to televise the good games. Thankfully I live just up the road from the Pats and get to see a lot of their games.

Saints - Pats would be great.

Thanks, Leej ~ very perceptive (unlike so many of the talking-head "experts" on TV, at least until very recently).

Last year the Saints had home-field advantage all the way to the final game, and may not have won without that advantage. This year they'll just have to show that they can win a championship the harder way, on the road.

Brees has been occasionally imperfect, unlike last year, but he's still capable of just about anything once we get to win-or-go-home time. The N.O. defense has produced fewer turnovers, but has improved upon last year's yards-allowed and points-allowed statistics. And the top two running backs, who have been injured for most of the year, seem to be rounding into form. All in all, no worse than last year's championship team, maybe a little better. We shall see...

Hey Poppagator. I called the Saints as winners of the NFC way up the thread, and mainly because Drew Brees is the best qb in the league. Now, I think Chicago will give them a run for their money, but I still say Saints-Patriots in the Bowl, with the Patriots being 3 point favorites. Take that bet! The Saints will repeat.

"Every member of every club's staff should be able to work in an environment free of harassment or hostility,... " commissioner Goodell said.

Yes, my cutting the quote short is childish. Duly noted. But I still got a chuckle. I guess Brett never had to attend any short staff meetings on sexual herassmeant.
