There are a ton of rivalries in sports that have turned into one-sided prison beatings. And you can have rivalries outside of the division. Shit, look at Dallas and San Fran back in the 90's. Pittsburgh is already one of the oldest teams in the league, and Ray Lewis isn't going to play forever. It's my belief that teams geographically closer to one another tend to have way more riding on games as opposed to those that aren't. A great example of this is Boston and New York.
<a class="postlink" href="http://espn.go.com/nfl/powerrankings" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://espn.go.com/nfl/powerrankings</a> I know this list is typically retarded, but look at the listing for Tampa Bay. "Five consecutive defeats make the Bucs one of the NFL's most disappointing teams this season. (Sando)" Tampa Bay is 4-7. Fucking priceless.
I'm not sure what you mean. After the Bucs pretty solid turn-around from 2009 to 2010, being 4-7 and losing 5 straight is a pretty big disappointment to a lot of their fans. I think people were expecting them to continue to get better, and make the playoffs after barely missing last year.
Please don't take miserable St Louis away from us. Even if Bradford might eventually be good, how many more years are they realistically going to have Stephen Jackson for? - Sincerely, the 49ers I think there were a lot of people calling the Bucs last season an overperformance and predicting them to fall back to earth this year. I'm not sure what it is about this team that is holding them back, they seem pretty okay from a talent standpoint. I suspect it's partly coaching, partly the inconsistency of Josh Freeman. Either way, there are a heap of teams worse than them, their schedule hasn't exactly been a cakewalk.
Rolando McClain evidently held someone up at gunpoint. <a class="postlink" href="http://decaturdaily.com/stories/Victim-says-he-begged-McClain-not-to-shoot-him,88422" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://decaturdaily.com/stories/Victim- ... -him,88422</a>
Considering he's only been charged with misdemeanors, anyone care to guess the odds he doesn't do any jail time either? I hate this country sometimes.
The eagles are getting murdered by Seattle right now. This is the best nfl season ever. Not because I'm a packers fan or anything...
Fuck Suh really? Come on man. Josh Freeman might be a flash in the pan QB. Hate to see him fizzle out, not likely to play this week. Also I'm really fucking pissed I only get 2 local daytime games. Bears and Green Bay. I mean, they're both interesting games in their own right, but I'm used to having two games in at least one of the time slots.
Oh my God, I just caught myself doing a fist pump because our punter downed a punt inside the one yard line. Such is the life of a Vikings fan this year. Edit: Well, at least they got a safety out of it.
So far: Cutler is out with a thumb injury, possibly for the season. Then Forte goes down with a knee injury, won't return this game. Finally, they show Julius Peppers limping back to the locker room. The only way this team could get more fucked is if Brian Urlacher breaks his arm and Robbie Gould's foot falls off. Edit: Well, its not just the Bears. After Kyle Orton's first throw, he came up and his throwing hand index finger looked crooked, either dislocated or broken. I don't think he'll be returning to the game, either.
Sometimes I really don't like living in New York. Watching the Jets every week is mind boggling. They have so much talent...and manage to fuck things up so well. Options to watch at quarterback this week: a rookie vs. Tebow or Sanchez vs. Grossman. Christ.
Rob Gronkowski is already going to the HOF and its just his second year. He gets open like no other TE. Already tied for season TDs for any TE. I feel sorry for you Trakiel, you can't even think about breathing until 60:00 is over.
This Vikes-Broncos game is getting ridiculous. Neither team has a good offense yet the defenses for both teams are getting shredded in the 2nd half.
I'm sorry bears fans. Hanie is not the the truth. He is bad, like Curtis Painter bad. I have a feeling Cutler is going to try to force himself back onto to the field in week 15 before his fracture has healed. It was so loud during the broncos/vikings at the bar I thought I was at the game. GET TEBOWED
Yeah, Bears are done now that Forte is out. My Patriots are 9-3. I loved every shot of Peyton Manning as Dan Orlovsky hiked the ball. OMG THEY JUST ANNOUNCED MADONNA IS DOING THE SUPERBOWL HALFTIME SHOW! WHAT?!?! IT ISN'T 1980? NO WAY! THEN THIS FUCKING SUCKS!
San Francisco 49ers, the 2011 Western Division NFC Champions. It has been a long time getting back to even this point.
Dude, that division was wrapped up as soon as Jed York hired Harbaugh. If there was a bigger waste of talent than the 49ers last year, I'd like to see it. Mike Singletary may have been the shittiest coach I've ever seen.
