NFL 2012 Season Thread

[Keith]

Elect Jerome Bettis.

Elect "The Bus".

[Nark Order]

Russell Wilson kind of got robbed for Rookie of the Year.

[Emperor Smeat]

AP took the award for Offensive Player of the Year. Probably means he's going to take the MVP award as well.

JJ Watt dominated the Defensive Player of the Year award with 49 votes (Von Miller took the other vote).

[#1-norm-fan]

Yep. AP wins the MVP.

Manning gets comeback player of the year.

[Kris P Lettus]

Good to see you finally changed yr avatar back, 2 months late..

[ClockShot]

I agree with Russell Wilson getting kinda robbed of rookie of the year.

However, all of the "big 3 rookie" QBs were equally deserving of the award.

[Kris P Lettus]

Dunham is legit..

[Emperor Smeat]

AP probably should have won the Comeback award as well considering it being tougher and what he did this season at the RB spot than Peyton at the QB spot. Wouldn't be surprised if the voters gave it to Peyton as consolidation for loosing the MVP award.

[#1-norm-fan]

Good to see you finally changed yr avatar back, 2 months late..

Are you upset that I'm no longer actively showing my support for your blatant homosexuality anymore? I can change it back if you feel oppressed again.

[#1-norm-fan]

AP probably should have won the Comeback award as well considering it being tougher and what he did this season at the RB spot than Peyton at the QB spot. Wouldn't be surprised if the voters gave it to Peyton as consolidation for loosing the MVP award.

I think Peyton had the edge since he actually missed an entire season. Seems weird giving the comeback player of the year award to a guy that didn't even miss a single game. Age probably factored into it too.

[Droford]

I thought he was still playing

Ogden retired after 07 due to a really bad toe injury

[Droford]

4 of the last 6 teams to lose the super bowl in the super dome scored exactly 10 points.

74% of all losing teams (34 of 46) scored 20 points or less.

The giants in xlii were the only team since 1975 to win with less than 20 points.

Dro stats! Provided by @benmaller

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

So now we can blame Ben Maller for all of your useless stats.

[Nark Order]

I think Peyton had the edge since he actually missed an entire season. Seems weird giving the comeback player of the year award to a guy that didn't even miss a single game. Age probably factored into it too.

The only reason he didn't miss a game though is because he's incredible. O would've given him all 3 awards, tbh.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I agree. Was there really a doubt Peyton would succeed like this? AP defied bigger odds.

[Skippord]

well yeah there was kind of a doubt Peyton would come back and play as well as he did after 4 serious neck surgeries

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Only crybaby Tebow fans though.

[Skippord]

or people who realize neck surgery is serious, apparently

[Triple Naitch]

People acting like 4 neck surgeries is easy to recover from....

[screech]

Kurt Angle

[Innovator]

Rick Reilly predicts ravens 35-34 in overtime. Pretty sure that can't happen.

[screech]

Would they wait until overtime to kick the PAT? Lol

[Nark Order]

Really flipping out with nerves here. Droford, you're a fucking doofus but I appreciate what you do here. May the best team win.

[Nark Order]

Oh, and Screech. Mad limitless love for Screech.

[screech]

This is going to be wonderful.

[Innovator]

I can see both teams winning. Ravens remind me of the Giants in 07 (minus the allegation of involvement in a double murder), and the 49ers can easily put it out of reach quickly. Should be a good game.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>We're long overdue for an overtime Super Bowl.</font>

[Droford]

Rick Reilly predicts ravens 35-34 in overtime. Pretty sure that can't happen.

I don't think that can happen. Assume its 31-31 into it and the 49ers get ball first and kick a fg 34-31, if the ravens went for the td to win it'd be 37-34 (no pat). 36-34 could happen too if its 34-34 into ot, if the 49ers get the ball first and the Ravens get a safety which would end the game like a td.

I know I can't take the game going into ot, but if it did it'd instantly be a top 3 super bowl..

[Droford]

<font color=goldenrod>We're long overdue for an overtime Super Bowl.</font>

more overdue for a shutout. Last time in the super bowl, the ravens didn't allow an offensive score. As much as everyone is ragging on the ravens defense, they allowed 0 points vs new England in the 2nd half..
#quotetheravensDneverscore

[Next Big Thing]

Reilly could be assuming Akers misses a PAT in overtime.

[Evil Vito]

Reilly could be assuming Akers misses a PAT in overtime.

<font color=goldenrod>Wouldn't matter. A TD in overtime wins it, even if it's the first possession.</font>

[Droford]

Reilly could be assuming Akers misses a PAT in overtime.

A) they don't kick pats in out
B) its not like college where even if one team scores a td the other team gets a chance to score a td. If the team that gets the ball first scores a td, its over. If they score a fg, then the other team gets a chance to score a fg to continue the game (into sudden death first score wins) or a td to win, or no score which ends the game.

[DaveWadding]

Kurtt Angle would have won MVP with a BROKEN FREAKIN NECK. Sorry Peyton.

[Droford]

Love the believe in Joe signs.

Want one

[Skippord]

#quotetheravensDneverscore
#forcedhashtags

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I wouldn't be opposed to eventually altering the OT rules so that each team gets an offensive possession even if there's a TD to start it off (unless there's a defensive TD or safety or something). Just think it would add more drama to see the offense come out in a total do or die situation.

Probably not going to happen though. The owners had to be prodded just to alter the FG overtime rules.</font>

[Droford]

As long as its not college rules for ot, I'm fine..hate college ot

[Next Big Thing]

A) they don't kick pats in out
B) its not like college where even if one team scores a td the other team gets a chance to score a td. If the team that gets the ball first scores a td, its over. If they score a fg, then the other team gets a chance to score a fg to continue the game (into sudden death first score wins) or a td to win, or no score which ends the game.

You're right. I knew that. No idea what I was thinking. I hate Rick Reilly as a writer anyways. Don't know why I tried to make his logic work.

[Emperor Smeat]

<font color=goldenrod>We're long overdue for an overtime Super Bowl.</font>

What was the closest, Rams vs Pats?

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I believe so.

Super Bowl 42 was also closer to overtime than you'd think. That final Pats drive Brady actually got ridiculously close to hitting Moss with like a 50 yard bomb. :o Would have put them well into field goal range AND they still had a full compliment of time outs.

Can't believe that game was 5 years ago. I loved last year's Super Bowl, but SB42 will probably always be my favorite sports moment.</font>

[Emperor Smeat]

Non-Super Bowl related News:

Giants targeting resigning Hakeem Nicks as their top priority for this offseason. Also said they want to keep Victor Cruz but only at a "reasonable" price and not what he is demanding at the moment.

Jets still trying to find someone dumb enough to trade for Tim Tebow but more likely he's getting released by March 12. Not even the Jags are willing to give up anything knowing he's going to be released before the season starts.

Alex Smith already projected to be the top QB available this offseason with a lot of teams interested in a trade. 49ers automatically save $1-$2 million in cap space if he's traded than just released due to the roster bonuses in his contract.

[McLegend]

The only way you pick up Tebow is if he is going to be your starter.

Otherwise having Tebow on your team doesn't work.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Power outage in the 4th quarter. Game is never finished, Giants are still Super Bowl champions.</font> :shifty:

[OssMan]

we're gettin ready to watch the superbowl....and we got a black quarterback so step back

[Keith]

49ers win 31-28.

Just reminding myself, just in case.

[Keith]

Wait, the Superbowl is at 6:30PM? WTF, NFL?

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Props to the few diehards who are willing to sit in the stadium for 2 and half hours before kickoff.</font>

[Keith]

That's fucking awesome. If I had tickets, I'd already be in there too.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I imagine security is tight as fuck, so I'd head in earlier than I would for a normal Giants game. Still, I'd probably try to tailgate as long as possible. Sitting in an empty stadium for that long would just increase the nerves.</font> :o

Chris Berman, "Sunday NFL Countdown" host: Ravens, 27-26 -- One of the great Super Bowls we'll talk about for decades.





http://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/i/teamlogos/nfl/500/sfo.png?w=80&h=80&transparent=true
Tom Jackson, "Sunday NFL Countdown" and "Monday Night Countdown" analyst: 49ers, 24-21 -- In the critical area  the front line on the offensive and defensive sides of the ball  I think the 49ers have an edge.






http://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/i/teamlogos/nfl/500/sfo.png?w=80&h=80&transparent=true
Mike Tirico, "Monday Night Football" play-by-play commentator: 49ers, 26-22 -- It's hard to separate the teams. Slight edges to San Francisco in a few key spots tilt the scale for me. I wouldn't be surprised to see the result reversed. In this good run of excellent games, we're in for another.






http://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/i/teamlogos/nfl/500/bal.png?w=80&h=80&transparent=true
Jon Gruden, "Monday Night Football" analyst and Super Bowl champion coach: Ravens, 23-20 -- If this really is Ray Lewis' last game, how can I pick it any other way?

Steve Young, "Monday Night Countdown" analyst, Hall of Famer and three-time San Francisco 49ers Super Bowl champion: 49ers, 31-17 -- The offensive line is as good as in two generations. They are the best team in the league getting off the bus and they are playing very well.






http://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/i/teamlogos/nfl/500/sfo.png?w=80&h=80&transparent=true
Cris Carter, "Sunday NFL Countdown" and "Monday Night Countdown" analyst: 49ers, 31-27 -- Kaepernick is going to run the ball a lot.

Trent Dilfer, "Monday Night Countdown" analyst: 49ers, 31-23 -- As conflicted as I am having to pick between two of my former teams ... both move the ball. The pistol allows the Niners to punch it in, while the Ravens are stuck kicking field goals.






http://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/i/teamlogos/nfl/500/bal.png?w=80&h=80&transparent=true
Stuart Scott, "SportsCenter" anchor and "Monday Night Countdown" co-host: Ravens, 29-24 -- Colin Kaepernick will have a great game, but he hasn't seen a defense like this in the playoffs.

Charissa Thompson, "SportsNation" co-host: Ravens, 21-10 -- I just trust the experience of Joe Flacco over the nine Colin Kaepernick starts.






http://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/i/teamlogos/nfl/500/sfo.png?w=80&h=80&transparent=true
Mike Ditka, "Sunday NFL Countdown" and "Monday Night Countdown" analyst and Super Bowl winning coach: 49ers, 28-24 -- I like what Jim [Harbaugh] has done and how he's built the team. If the 49ers do not get a pass rush, they will be in trouble, but they have found a way to get it done all season.

Keyshawn Johnson, "Sunday NFL Countdown" and "Monday Night Countdown" analyst and Super Bowl champion: 49ers, 24-17 -- No one's figured out how to stop this pistol offense. Defenses have struggled against this offense and Kaepernick

Tedy Bruschi, "NFL Live" analyst and three-time Super Bowl champion: 49ers, 28-27 -- The difference is the 49ers' offensive line. Frank Gore is the MVP.






http://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/i/teamlogos/nfl/500/sfo.png?w=80&h=80&transparent=true
Herm Edwards, "NFL Live" analyst: 49ers, 27-24 -- The 49ers have too many options on offense that present problems for the Ravens. Even though Colin Kaepernick is young, sometimes being naive in a game like this is a good thing.




http://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/i/teamlogos/nfl/500/bal.png?w=80&h=80&transparent=true
Ron Jaworski, "Sunday Night Countdown" and "NFL Matchup" analyst: Ravens, 27-24 -- Explosive plays will be the difference.

Steve Levy, "SportsCenter" anchor: Ravens, 27-24 -- I think the Ray Lewis' 'distraction' this week helps keep Baltimore focused, and it's time John Harbaugh outshines his brother Jim.

Merril Hoge, "NFL Live," "NFL Matchup" and "NFL PrimeTime" analyst: 49ers, 21-20 -- The core of the 49ers, the offensive and defensive lines, is the best in football. Colin Kaepernick has brought focus to their offense, but it's because they are so good in the trenches.




http://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/i/teamlogos/nfl/500/sfo.png?w=80&h=80&transparent=true
Chris Mortensen, "NFL senior analyst" and "NFL32" co-host: 49ers, 31-23 -- Colin Kaepernick's composure has been the biggest surprise for me this postseason, and I don't think he's going to lose it on the NFL's biggest stage.




http://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/i/teamlogos/nfl/500/sfo.png?w=80&h=80&transparent=true
Jerry Rice, "NFL Live" analyst Hall of Famer and three-time San Francisco 49ers Super Bowl champion: 49ers, 24-17 -- The Niners will have a better defense, and Colin Kaepernick bringing so many different formations to the offense will present matchup problems for the Ravens.

Rick Reilly, "Monday Night Countdown" contributor: 49ers, 35-34 -- Just as Cain slew Abel, so too will John slay Jim.

Mike Golic, ESPN Radio's "Mike & Mike in the Morning": Ravens, 27-24 -- San Francisco may be the better team, but I picked the Ravens at the start of the year, and I still think they have the team to do it.

Mike Greenberg, ESPN Radio's "Mike & Mike in the Morning": Ravens, 22-16 -- Kaepernick will have his time. This one goes to Flacco -- his is a team of destiny.

John Clayton, Senior NFL Writer: 49ers, 28-24 -- With power football in vogue in this Super Bowl, the 49ers will overpower the Ravens at the end. The 49ers are deep in talent and focused, but it still wouldn't surprise me if they need overtime to get the win.




http://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/i/teamlogos/nfl/500/sfo.png?w=80&h=80&transparent=true
Adam Schefter, NFL Insider: 49ers, 17-14 -- Two throwback teams playing a throwback game in which two undrafted free-agent kickers, David Akers and Justin Tucker, could decide the world championship.

Mark Schlereth, "NFL Live" analyst and ESPN Radio's "Hill and Schlereth": 49ers, 28-27 -- Offensively, Colin Kaepernick -- the dual threat and read-option -- will be too much.

Gary Horton, ESPN Scouts Inc.: Ravens, 23-20 -- The 49ers are the more talented team in this game, but there's something about this Ravens team, with their resilience and ability to raise their game to another level. It could be a Joe Flacco coming-out party.

Colin Cowherd, ESPN Radio's "The Herd": Ravens, 26-22 -- I expect Colin Kaepernick to make a mistake late. There's a big difference between playoff games and the Super Bowl. There's just more pressure, and Flacco has been in so many BIG games.




http://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/i/teamlogos/nfl/500/sfo.png?w=80&h=80&transparent=true

Frank Caliendo, Comedian/impersonator and "Sunday NFL Countdown" contributor: 49ers, 30-27 -- Both teams, who have been known for their defenses have been putting points on the board as of late, but I think the 49ers have a little more firepower--and I really just want to see how crazy Jim Harbaugh goes if they win.

[Next Big Thing]

Seeing Narc's 9ers in the big game at the expense of my Falcons is bitter sweet, but I am getting more and more excited for this game the closer it gets to kick off.

When the Superbowl starts, I'm going to be on the treadmill doing my hour and 1/2 of cardio.

[Droford]

Burn off the 10,000 calories of food I'm about to eat for me will ya?

[Keith]

LOL FML.

At least the treadmill is in my living room, I'll be watching the game. The hour and a half should go by relatively fast.

Or not. I still have to do it, so.

[Team Sheep]

Stop making me feel bad Keith.

Making you feel bad? I'm the one who's gonna be on the treadmill for over an hour.

Poor guy had to go after Ogden. They couldn't have had him go last knowing all the Ravens fans were gonna be there?

Also the crowd is totally ravens fans, very awesome

[Kris P Lettus]

Well, most people who are from around here are pulling for the Ravens so you get the local support..

[Droford]

OK, here we go..

[Frank Drebin]

Dro, I haven't posted here so are you a Ravens fan?

Who is everyone rooting for? Kris P?

[Kris P Lettus]

I am a lifelong Saints fan with a revived hatred for the Niners..

So, the Ravens..

[Droford]

Good start..

[Frank Drebin]

Droford pretending like he didnt see my question.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Big score for B-more. They just might win this whole thing, folks!

[Keith]

LOL WTF, 49ers?

[Kris P Lettus]

Think it's more the two turnovers and trading TD's for FG's..

[James Steele]

Holy shit, the 49ers are playing like dog shit. They are still in it, but this could get uglier than a Ray Lewis night out on the town in Atlanta if they don't pull their heads out of their asses.

[owenbrown]

If the fucktard Ravens win the Super Bowl and Ray Lewis goes on some religious rant, CBS should cut the feed and go to black.

[Keith]

That's why I was pulling for the Niners. If Ray Lewis wins, no one will be able to shut him up.

[Kris P Lettus]

He already slated to work at ESPN so that will happen either way, win or lose..

[Keith]

Yeah, but if he wins it's gonna be non-stop ranting.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Well, we'll see ya later.

[Keith]

HOLY SHIT

[Emperor Smeat]

Wow.

[James Steele]

Dagger.

[James Steele]

Holy shit, the power went out.

[James Steele]

The Ravens fans can fuck off with the 7 Nation Army thing now.

[Keith]

Holy shit, the power went out.

They were like "Fuck it, this game's over, turn off the lights".

THE SHIELD IS ATTACKING RAY LEWIS? WHAT INJUSTICE ARE THEY FIGHTING HERE? GOOD GOD, WHO IS GOING TO STOP THESE...THESE...THUGS!!!

[Keith]

LOL

[Keith]

It would be crazy if San Francisco comes back and wins now.

[James Steele]

It would be crazy if San Francisco comes back and wins now.

Droford and others would start howling about a conspiracy by the NFL to keep the game interesting.

*MARKS THE FUCK OUT FOR THE SHIELD* :shifty:

[Keith]

This is so weird. It happens the week after WWE did something similar in the Royal Rumble.

Maybe Roger Goodell and the NFL don't want Ray Lewis to win.

Maybe now when the scoreboard lights up it will be 31-28 in favor of SF lol.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Personal foul come on you gotta let the guy come down

[Keith]

Everything going San Francisco's way.

[Kris P Lettus]

BOOM

[Keith]

Leon Sandcastle is the future of the NFL.

[James Steele]

Words can not describe how much I want to see the 49ers come back to win this damn thing.

[owenbrown]

brb making a name change request :shifty:

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Holy shit

[Keith]

This is so awesome.

[Corndad]

Questionable challenge there

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

He was way short. Good challenge.

[Keith]

He was short.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>It's actually better for the Niners to be down by 5 instead of 2. I'd much rather enter a drive knowing I have to score a TD rather than rely on Akers.</font>

[James Steele]

Blessing in disguise that they need a TD and don't have to worry about a FG.

[James Steele]

If Ravens win, Flacco or Boldin should be MVP.

[James Steele]

Jesus, this might be the most epic to a finish to a SuperBowl ever.

[Emperor Smeat]

And if the 49ers win, MVP should be whoever accidentally caused the blackout.

[Keith]

OMG OMG OMG

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

GORE GORE GORE

[James Steele]

I know they can't think about it, but you gotta worry about scoring too fast with all the busted coverages the 49ers have had.

[Corndad]

Please let this end with Ray Lewis being run over for a TD.

[Vastardikai]

ManBearPig with a game saving interception?

[James Steele]

Please let this end with Ray Lewis being run over for a TD.

My scrotum would explode with joy.

[Keith]

That's right. Take it down to the 2 minute warning and go for it.

This is the greatest night in the history of our sport.

[James Steele]

I want to see Ray Lewis crying and speechless.

[James Steele]

Been better off running than throwing that ball.

[Kris P Lettus]

and here is the game

[James Steele]

Holy shit...

[Keith]

Welp.

[James Steele]

Fuck off and die with that 7 Nation Army chant. It sounds like goats getting rhythmically fucked.

[Emperor Smeat]

Flacco has to be the happiest right now since it means Ray Lewis won't beat him up on national tv now.

[Keith]

OMG HOLDING!

[James Steele]

There is no fucking thing as a good "no call". If it is a fucking penalty, throw the fucking flag.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Punt Fair Catch one kick.

[James Steele]

Wow, I never thought about that doing that.

[Kris P Lettus]

and the Ravens are gonna cover..

[James Steele]

Holy shit, if Akers tied it on a fair catch free kick.

[Ermaximus]

I hope he does.

[James Steele]

...and their playing "Final Countdown". Epic finish.

[James Steele]

Maybe there is a sniper ready to hit Ray Lewis.

[Nark Order]

good game

[James Steele]

GOD IS GOOD! *headshot*

[Ermaximus]

Maybe there is a sniper ready to hit Ray Lewis.

Glad I'm not the only one who can't stand that waste of space.

[Innovator]

I need the blurckle technology to blurckle out ray lewis from my tv

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

hahaha Flacco

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Let the never ending cocksucking of Ray Lewis begin.</font>

[Kris P Lettus]

"fucking awesome" joe flacco

[Keith]

One word: HOLDING.

[James Steele]

Why wouldn't you fair catch it? Your odds go from like .01% to .09% if you go for a hail mary over a crazy return.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

MVP? The kickoff TD guy?

[James Steele]

One word: HOLDING.

14 words: Don't get down by 22 points in the first 35 minutes of a game.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Can't wait for the next Harbaugh family thanksgiving

Can you Pass me the salt?

Ahhh shit I dropped it!

You going to say you were held?

Riot ensues.

[Kris P Lettus]

MVP? The kickoff TD guy?

You mean Jacoby Jones who also scored a TD as a WR??

Either him or Flacco..

[Ermaximus]

On the plus side, we never have to see Ray Lewis on tv again, yet I'm almost certain some dumb ass station will sign him as a color commentator.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

ESPN already did dummy before the playoffs.

[owenbrown]

double rings for double homicide

[Keith]

On the plus side, we never have to see Ray Lewis on tv again, yet I'm almost certain some dumb ass station will sign him as a color commentator.

You'll see him on ESPN.

He'll get signed by them and make a killing.

[Innovator]

So are we going to act shocked when its revealed how much HGH Ray Lewis was on in 5 years?

[Kris P Lettus]

He sucks the bone marrow out of aborted fetuses..

[Keith]

So are we going to act shocked when its revealed how much HGH Ray Lewis was on in 5 years?

He gets away with double-murder, I'm sure he gets away with using HGH.

[James Steele]

So are we going to act shocked when its revealed how much HGH Ray Lewis was on in 5 years?

About as shocked as we were when he became the O.J. of the 21st Century.

[Ermaximus]

Note to self, don't watch any football games on ESPN.

That hot chick/ugly guy commercial is hard to watch. Should have added music or something. Made it awkward as fuck.

They better not make Ray Lewis MVP just because of all the emotional bullshit.

Congrats to Screech, Droford and the other Ravens fans.

So much bitterness in both threads.

Congrats to the Ravens and I am happy for non-murderers like Ray Rice and Joe Flacco.

Shocker that a Saints fan wouldn't understand why people don't value vile human beings despite them being tremendous athletes.

[screech]

That was just as wonderful as I imagined it would be.

Narc and other 49ers fans, I love you.

This is amazing.

[James Steele]

49ers will be good for awhile. Interesting to see where the Ravens go from here.

[Keith]

"When Ray Lewis is for you, who can be against you?"
-God

I don't like it when someone says "When God is for you, who can be against you?" in sports.

I mean, what makes you think that God would choose to help you, or your team, over the opposition? You're playing a game. What makes you so special that God is going to say "I'm going to help Baltimore win. I won't help San Francisco"?

That shows some major selfishness.

[Corndad]

That was just as wonderful as I imagined it would be.

Narc and other 49ers fans, I love you.

This is amazing.

Congrats to you Screech. You are a Ravens fan with sense. Congrats. Tough pill to swallow for Steelers Fans but hey, probably see you Opening Night next year.

[Evil Vito]

God was all set to cure cancer, but nope. Gotta help Ray Lewis first.

I think this will be the season where Colin Kaepernick solidifies himself.

A year from now we might be watching him celebrate.

In the cfl

All my Republican friends were like "Best commercial of 2013!"

[Nark Order]

Gratz to screech and Dro. People can complain about holding all they want but the defense is what shit the bed the entire game. Aldon Smith didn't even get his name called. On a happy note, Kaep has the potential to be the greatest NFL player ever.

[Bad News Gertner]

Owenbrown enjoys the company of men

[Nark Order]

I dunno. I'm still not sold on Flacco though. He played a great game but we have to go through this "elite" debate all over again. If every QB was drafted again, Flacco wouldn't go in the top 10. Maybe not even the top 15.

[The Fraze]

F.

Ps; Jones should have been MVP, not Flacco.

[#1-norm-fan]

Rick Reilly predicts ravens 35-34 in overtime. Pretty sure that can't happen.

I think this is technically possible.

Say two teams go into OT tied at 32...

Team A kicks a FG. 35-32

Team B gets the ball, throws a pick and the defender fumbles the football after picking it off and it rolls out of the back of the end zone.

Since team B had their possession and failed to match team A's score, the game is over but the safety still counts. Thus making the final score 35-34.

So it's possible. If that had happened though, this guy would have been the greatest genius who ever existed.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I have little doubt the 49ers will be hoisting a Lombardi within the next 3 years. They just have a fantastic core of players and should be right in the thick of the chase for quite some time.</font>

[owenbrown]

I guess the next question is, where is Alex Smith gonna go now?

[screech]

I dunno. I'm still not sold on Flacco though. He played a great game but we have to go through this "elite" debate all over again. If every QB was drafted again, Flacco wouldn't go in the top 10. Maybe not even the top 15.

I think he'd go top 15. As far as being "elite," in the moment I say yes (especially given his play in the postseason) but in a day or two I may retract that.

He has vastly improved over the past few seasons though, which certainly should get him a little more props.

[screech]

I guess the next question is, where is Alex Smith gonna go now?

A few weeks ago, some were saying he'd be in Philly. Not sure if there is any interest from either side, though.

[screech]

<font color=goldenrod>I have little doubt the 49ers will be hoisting a Lombardi within the next 3 years. They just have a fantastic core of players and should be right in the thick of the chase for quite some time.</font>

Totally agree with this. This team is great and should only get better.

[Tom Guycott]

The NFL is a Brand. They've got officials on the sidelines that police everything from socks being pulled up to ensuring that shirts are tucked in or atleast touching the top of the pants. They ensure that team specific cleats/gloves/towels/chinstraps/etc are used by each dressed player on each sideline. There is a tally of uniform violations and minor fines(usally ranging from 100-500 dollars IIRC) that is levied apon each violator.

The Uniform police is serious business.

High School and Colleges don't have the same strict marketing and uniform guidelines as the NFL

(Yes, this was old... this PC just kicked me on this page instead of the last one and I found this interesting.)


The hot minute Mike Nolan was coaching the '9ers, he got fined several times because (wait for it) HE WORE A FUCKING SUIT AND TIE! God forbid he look like a professional on the sideline. I mean, Bill Bellichick dresses like a goddamn vagabond, but it's sanctioned team apparel, so it's okay to have your team spearheaded looking like a bum. It took awhile for Addidas to come along and actually tailor some suits, and by that time, he was on his way out the door.

On to today:

I noticed Gore's socks were pretty much in the same fashion he was fined for, and not a single fuck was given on Super Bowl Sunday.

Sucks they lost. At least it put to bed the conspiracy theorists who were already foaming up about San Fran coming back after the power outage. Nevermind the dropped passes, fumbles, and missed tackles by the Ravens in the second half and Kapernick stepping up instead of beating himself in the head and taking himself out of the game from nerves.

Valliant effort, but Flacco is a guy who's been there. For all intents and purposes, Kap's basically a rookie QB who got to make a run for the biggest game in the land. Not a bad run for a kid who came out of nowhere and stepped up as opposed to just being a flash-in-the-pan who makes Alex Smith worry about losing his job for about 2 games, then fizzles out.

Good effort, but not enough.

Grounds for divorce.

You know how much fame and income you just pissed away simply to prove you were a fan of the Ravens?

[owenbrown]

what a bitch

[Team Sheep]

I bet Droford is kind of lost now that his team has won the whole thing. He can't make ridiculous statements any more. He must be hating this. I was expecting post after post of gloating and "I told you so's." But I guess that's not fun when your team is receiving copious amounts of praise. Either that or he's dead in a ditch somewhere from alcohol poisoning.

[OssMan]

I imagine he is laughing on the floor whilst rolling at all of TPWW's naysayers who have been shut up by the mighty Ravens.

[Innovator]

He is printing out all of owen brown's posts and bathing in them.

[Triple Naitch]

Great game. Flacco deserves MVP for his performance in the entire postseason.

[Droford]

Flacco is 8-0 in the post season when he doesn't throw an INT (1-4 when he does)

[Triple Naitch]

Droford stat: I've seen the Super Bowl champs play the Eagles at the Linc for the past 5 years.

[Droford]

First off I don't drink. Next I had to get up for work at 4 on less than 4 hours sleep. Also, there's a lot of praise but I keep hearing crap like Flacco will ruin the franchise with his big contract to the 49ers lost the game (frank gore basically came out and said the better team lost) and not that the Ravens won..to anything about ray Lewis..

Now I want to see the Ravens buck the trend of the champion playing like crap the following year. I already predicted a rematch next year in the super bowl..people are already saying they won't make the playoffs next season..people really should know better lol

As for the I told you so's, no one gave the Ravens any chance to win the last 3 games and just the fact that they went out and played the best stretch of 3 games in the Raven's history and proved everyone wrong not once, not twice..but three times is good enough for me. A

[Droford]

Droford stat: I've seen the Super Bowl champs play the Eagles at the Linc for the past 5 years.

Redskins have beaten the champs the last 3 years in the regular season.

Guess like their fans, you can go hang that "we beat the champs" banner first home game..
