You know it's a crappy division when Arizona wins. But hey, who cares as long as you win. Crongrats to them.

They've played quite well, actually... Kurt Warner's having a renaissance...

Surprise, surprise: Florida will play Oklahoma in the BCS Title Game...

On January 8. :shakehead:

By then, no one outside of Florida and Oklahoma (and probably Las Vegas) are gonna care. :crazy:

Isn't that always the case, I mean this is college football we're talking about. If your school isn't playing why would you care unless you have money riding on it. But I admit I like football so I always watch the championship games.

That's debatable.

Yup. That's been a major debate in NY ever since the incident. Personally, I think it'll hurt them eventually in the playoffs since he WAS the best receiver on the Giants and Eli's favorite target. Too bad Burress' brain doesn't match his football ability. :shakehead:

Always good to see the Plowboys lose and more so to see TO melt down afterwards.

It's inevitable that Owens will soon be throwing his QB under the bus ... accusing Romo of quitting and being gay. :sweat:

That's sorta true, but there was a time when all the bowl games were on New Year's Day... And you'd pretty much watch all of 'em with your friends and relatives.

Now, who's gonna have the time to get together seven days later to watch the championship? :shakehead: :crazy:

It's stupid.

Yup, another notch on his helmet.

Sammy Baugh passed away yesterday at the age of 94. He played for the Washington Redskins from 1937--1952, leading them to two NFL championships.

A charter member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, he is perhaps the strongest candidate for being annointed the greatest all-around player in NFL history.

Playing in an era where everyone went both ways, he excelled as a QB, a defensive back, and a punter. One year he led the league in passing, interceptions, and punting, a feat which had never been done before or since. In one game he threw four TD passes and intercepted four passes. He led the league in passing a record six times. One year he completed 70.3% of his passes which still ranks as the second highest percentage completion rate in NFL history. Another year he intercepted 11 passes (remember, this was during a time when teams ran a lot more than they passed). His 51.4 yards per punt is still the highest single season punting average in NFL history (his career punting average ranks as the second highest in NFL history).

I'm throwing these stats out so people who aren't familiar with Sammy Baugh get a sense of how great an all-around football player he was.

Cowboys lose their final game in Texas Stadium, 33-24, to the Ravens. :victory: :applaud:

O.K., how crazy is this? If the Chargers go into Denver and beat the Donkeys next week, THEY win the division?!!? :crazy:

Yup, I mentioned before how the Chargers would still be in the hunt for the division cause the Broncos are awful (maybe the worst defense in league) ..... looks like the Bolts just might pull it off. :shakehead:

Actually the Broncos come to San Diego.

Can't believe the Chargers still have a chance... Denver's choking big time.


After some convincing wins, the Steelers disintegrate in Tennessee, 31-14. :hehe:

Same for Philadelphia, losing to Washington, 10-3. :shakehead:

The Patriots had some luck today 47-7 over the Cardinals
