It's definitely a key, but I don't think it's the most important thing for the Jets to win. They'll absolutely need to get pressure on Rapistberger, but he's pretty different from Manning and Brady in that he won't get be nearly as flustered and let it affect his play once he gets hit a few times. I think the biggest key for the Jets is on the other side of the ball. The offense played alright in the last matchup, especially considering that it was in the middle of that awful stretch of performances, but that was without Polamalu in the lineup. The offensive line is going to have to keep playing the way they've been playing in the playoffs so far, letting the Jets set up a running game and giving Sanchez time to get rid of the ball without getting hit too much. Are you fucking kidding? He's interviewing Bart Scott two minutes after their biggest win of the season (and probably his career). He was clearly fired up as hell and speaking from pure emotion and thankfully Paolantonio had the good sense to let him just keep going with it. You really think Scott was just going to stop and switch to analyzing and breaking down their gameplan? Save that shit for the press conferences. Instead of cutting him off and looking for detailed answers, he got one of the most hilarious and simultaneously authentic moments of the playoffs, if not the whole season.
In response to the pic above my buttface friend the Bears fan sent me, I sent him this pic. Thanks Mal! I owe you and no it will not be in the form of a beej. Man down and it could not have happened to a nicer guy. heh
Yes, and if Mr. Interview Man had maintained his composure, he could have stretched a hilarious and authentic moment that lasted a minute into one that lasted 3-4 minutes. We were robbed of even more awesomeness! I'm not saying the questions I mentioned above should have been the ones Interview Man asked, although I'm certain Bart would have replied with something hilarious either way. But for fuck's sake, there should be a reason they pay Interview Man the big bucks. He didn't get any more out of Bart Scott than a random fan off the street would have.
You're certainly the first person I've heard that's had some sort of problem with the interview (though you're really the only one, save for Peter King or Easterbrook, I'd have expected it from anyway). Maybe it only lasted a minute because most of his teammates were making their way off the field and he was trying to get to the locker room. Most postgame interviews last a minute or two, at most, anyway. What more needed to be said? Also I'm pretty sure the suggestion that he cut the interview short because of the big scary black man kills your point anyway.
dallascowboys.com is finally making the official announcement that Rob Ryan will be the new defensive coordinator.
What the fuck? I already can't stand the Cowboys and their owner/coach/manager Mr. Jerry I-Will-Die-With-The-Most-Toys Jones. So lets see, go there, sit in the grass and pay 9 bucks for a shitty beer? Why yes please! And I'll even bend over to make it easier. And this: Huh? So the Grass People count as being IN the stadium? Do the tailgaters count too? Shit like this just feeds my hate. I suppose it gives some a chance to be part of the hoopla, for him to make even more money and set a bogus record. I am annoyed.
Without going uber econnerd on the board... I wish you guys could see the paper in read recently on how badly ownership fucked around with the research that preceded the building of the stadium. Basically, to get government funding, they had to do a regional economic impact analysis of building the stadium. They used every dirty research tactic available to overstate the benefits of building to grub as much money as they possibly could from the local and state government. It was sickening to read. I'm talking overstating the benefits by factors of 200-300%. If anyone cares, just ask and I should be able to dig up a pdf of it. But yeah, Jerry Jones is a POS.
I'd just like to say how fucking excited I am for Sunday. The cheesehead has been waiting for a whole week to sit atop my head like the crown it is. GO PACK GO!! FUCK YEAH!!!!! If I never come back, you all will know why.
I think the Bears magical season is over. Go Pack! Also, would it be considered a terrorist act if I wished for Heinz field to blow up tonight? I hate both those teams with a passion.
Hmmm.... nope, not going to say it. But go Packers. I've been a fan for a long time, if only because they play at Lambeau, regardless of weather.
Packers are looking good. Got to love that punt by Chicago from the opposing 31. Nice net of 11 yards. God forbid you attempt a FG inside 50 yards.
Todd Collins is about to get raped. Cutler threw about half his passes from outside the pocket and got hit on most of the rest.
If the packers lose this game I'm not going to blame the defense at all. They should have already closed this out. Rodgers is really falling apart in the second half.
Ahhh shit niggas. We got to drop Raji back into coverage more. Edit: Fucking retarded 3 man rush. Get some fucking pressure. Fucking christ. Edit 2: Interception!! Packers to the super bowl! Fuck yeeeeaaaahhh!!! My brother is a bears fan and is flipping right now. He's pretty happy with Hanie though.
Fantastic, so not only did the Bears lose, but now we get to suffer through an entire off season of "Hanie should be the starter! Cutler is a pussy!" Fuck. That could not have been a worse ending to the season.
NFC CHAMPS! Man, I'm ecstatic! Big boy BJ Raji for the win haha! Time to get after it. See you guys in the weekend drunk thread.
Every franchise has its share of retards. Oh yeah, fire Lovie Smith. He only got to the NFC championship. I hope these fans are an anomaly. I mean, Hanie played just ok for not even an entire half and he did throw 2 picks.
