Since we’re getting close to the end of the season, it might not be a bad idea now to open the doors and discuss the upcoming playoff possibilities. I mathematically eliminated the Saints when Breesy threw two Pick-6′s against the 49ers last Sunday while I was sitting at the drive-thru at Carl’s Jr. – even the BBQ goodness of the Western Bacon Cheeseburger could not remove the sting (or XM Radio drown out the cheers of the Carl’s Jr. staff – who probably spit in my food since I made the mistake of wearing my Deuce McAllister jersey). And not to be outdone, he threw five interceptions on Thursday and brought his streak of touchdown passes in a game to an end. I’d like to thank Roger Goodell for his splendid ass-kicking of the Saints this season. It only goes to show how low the asshats at Time Magazine have fallen in their desperate search for the “Person of the Year” that this clown and Sandra Fluke are both contenders. But then again, it’s Time Magazine; I have holiday circulars from Michael’s Art Supplies that are have more pages than Time.
Judging from the current standings, there is the enticing possibility in the Wild Card Round for the AFC that Andrew Luck and the Colts could be staring downfield at Mr Manning’s new neighborhood. And I have this tingle going up my leg that No. 18 has enough of a chip on his padded shoulder to want to give a good “howdy do and how do you like me NOW” to his ex-locker mates.
Right now if I had to make book for big game, I’m going to say the Texans and the 49ers. I think barring a complete meltdown, which has happened before, alas, the road to the Super Bowl will go through Atlanta in the NFC and Houston in the AFC. However, the 49ers defense is going to pressure the Ice-man and the Falcon offense. As for the Texans, I’m trying to remember what team it was they lost to. Your mileage, of course, may vary.
The match-ups this week look good. Of course, I have no dog in the hunt, and heck, even NASCAR’s done for the year.

Isn’t that the truth … it was a witch hunt and Vilma is fighting it tooth and nail and denying it. It’s disgusting what he did to the Saints. Just disgusting.
I have to agree with your evaluation concerning the Texans and the 49ers. And the 49er’s are doing it with a rookie QB in the last two games. This kid is awesome. But they are trying to tear him down because of his tat’s. It’s football and the story behind this kid is amazing.

I will never forget his changing of the overtime rules for playoff games after the Saints went to the Super Bowl after a sudden death OT win against the Vikings. All I heard in the two weeks after the game was “if only Brett Favre had been given another chance”! Sux weeks after the Super Bowl, rule change. Now personally, I think that the college rule for overtime is cool. But I would have all announced a little later in the season so it didn’t have the appearance of slapping the Saints in the face.

I didn’t have a problem with the rule change. I had a problem in the timing of the announcement. I’d been saying fir years that we needed to adopt that rule.

Sorry, Miss Lily.
That one caught my attention.
I’ve been watching a show called Primeval and it’s made by the BBC…unreal..it’s about dinosaurs coming through from the past through openings in the space/time whatever. They go after the dino’s with no guns and in many cases no weapons. Really?? No wonder Europe likes our shows better. I thought our shows were stupid. Sometimes though stupid shows gets ones minds off of things. LOL!

you missed my point. 3 dead in Afghanistan in a war vs the Taliban 6 dead in Chicago on an average day. Who is more dangerous? The Taliban or the Liberals?
Now add in the dead in all the other Democrat ruled cities and you got a US murder rate of about 75 a day.

Yes I did miss your point and it is a very good point..more dead here in America on the average day than are the enemy we are supposed to be fighting. Sorry about that.

Richmond is the only city in the U.S. or in the world that was ever burned down completely, not once, but three times.
Twice against the crown, once against the flag.

made and ran moonshine back in the day that is.

I reading that this suicidal KC Chiefs player had had some head injury problems. This head injury issue in football, at all levels, hasn’t even begun to crest.

Well all you have to do is look back at all the real things that did happen…endless amounts of ideas to come from. I just watched a show where 5 people were killed in a house. Was it murder? The woman appear to have been attacked because her clothing was amiss….the previous renters had a beef with the landlord…so what happened? Come to find out the landlord was cheap and fixed everything himself and put a coil in backwards in the heater which made the flow of carbon monoxide flow into the house instead of out of the house. Tragic all the way around and true. Carbon monoxide poisioning can cause tummy aches which explains the womans clothes disarrayed.

I had Fox News on while I was cooking dinner, and I heard them mention a multiple homicide in LA. It seems 4 people were found lined up on the front lawn of a house, all shot in the head.
The anchor said that police say it “doesn’t appear random.”
//Gee…ya think?

Under-statement there. Police don’t care to give too much information to reporters …when they have something like this.

In fact I’d bet money the reporters asked if this was a random act of violence.

If it had been in NYC instead of LA, Bloomberg would have blamed Tea Partiers.
@ lobo91:
Probably…the media can be a nightmare for police on a case like this. They are already under pressure with that many people being killed and the media puts even more pressure.
Why would the obama administration be involved with this?????
Frosty the Snowman is there — and so is Santa Claus.
But the Baby Jesus is stuffed inside a closet at Cottondale Elementary School — leaving many residents of this small town in the Florida panhandle outraged.
The Nativity scene had been a part of the school’s holiday lawn decorations for years. But this year the yuletide display is strictly secular.
Principal Brenda Jones told television station WJHG the decision to keep Baby Jesus in the closet came after an official with the Dept. of Education dropped by to discuss the separation of church and state.
“The Dept. of Education came in and talked to us about the legalities of religion in the school systems and the separation of the two,” Jones told the television station.

@ 294 Lily:
IMO some national churches need to take the government to court on issues of separation of church and state. Public schools are for everyone not just the secular religion. If they want taxes from all to support them. There are aspects of religions that require a cultural habit throughout a day.
a catholic school is home to catholic immmersion. A public school should in a way represent comparative religion and be ok with it’s expression. Or they shouldn’t be using the word holiday in any way shape or form. and then edit it out of every book in the library.
@ darkwords:
It’s unreal what is going on. And believe it or not there are a lot of Christians that aren’t seeing this!!!!! They are not listening to the Church they are listening to the damn propaganda on TV!!! Someone close to me who is supposedly a devout Catholic now finds In God We Trust offensive on our money!!!!!!!!!!! WTH????
