For sure, Alabama was favorite and any chance/hope Texas had, disappeared when McCoy got hurt. At least it's not as bad as when McGahee got hurt in the '03 Fiesta Bowl.
I was 5 for 5, with my picks this week. :victory: :dancing:

Win any money? :mrgreen:

I hope Packers and Favre meet in the playoffs. :fingerscrossed: Packers will know how Niners feel getting beat by him all the time :hehe:

Wow, that would be real irony. :victory:

Can't really say I'm surprised by the Jets' victory. I've never had any sort of 'faith' in Palmer. Though that kicker didn't help the cause either. :sweat:

Yes :victory:

^ Cool. :victory: :applaud:

Ravens easily handle the Patriots, 33-14.... In Foxborough. :shocked:

Arizona beats Green Bay in OT in a wild shootout, 51-45. :victory:

I was exhausted just watching that game. :sweat:

Some college basketball games don't score as many points. :beaten:

True, wasn't that the highest scoring playoff game ever? :shocked: Bet the happiest person alive was Rackers, talk about a monkey off your back! :bow:

Yeah, a disappointing performance from the Pats to say the least. It was pathetic and showed we had no business being in the playoffs. :shakehead: Like Wilfork said they played the game as if it were a pre-season match. :shakehead:

I had Arizona over Green Bay. :victory: Ironically, just as I was thinking neither defense decided to show up, Arizona's defense makes the big play to win the game and save their kicker.

Yup.

If they had lost, the kicker would been fired on the spot... And probably deported from Arizona. :sweat:

Like Scott Norwood, :usuck: us Bills fans up here have never forgotten it, he was last spotted hiding in a remote section of the Andes, the bounty on him is still high. Once again, on the sports page it was brought up if it's Warner's last home game, hope not, they said it after the Super Bowl too that he might retire, seems as though he's getting better with age. :applaud:

Yup.

But the number of concussions he's suffered over the years have to be a big concern for him... Troy Aikman retired for that very reason.

He doesn't want to be like Muhammad Ali in his later years... Or even worse, Jerry Quarry. :sweat:

True about those concussions, :applaud: he's up there in age, sure he doesn't need the money. Shame about Rodgers losing though, no way could Favre have done better, because they lost people are going to forget about that great comeback. :doh:

Other news: Pete Carroll leaves 'SC to take on the job as the Seahawks new coach.

All I could think of when I first heard the news was "a rat deserting a sinking ship."

Looks like the NCAA hangman is getting out the noose.

Now out comes the NCAA paddle. :hehe:

I don't remember an NFL season when so much was up in the air. There is no reigning team and it's a free-for-all.

They should be ashamed as Brady said " I would have boo us too" :shakehead: ...man I was mad at what maddness they played :argh: ... he was right I booed them too :usuck:


It was almost like deja vu from what happen years ago ... they lost 30- 14 and come now (I forgot how many years later) and lose 33-14 :bleh:

I agree, don't think the Jets or Ravens can win it, but out of the other 6 teams really any of them can win it. Not that I'm an expert, :crazy: I'd pick the Chargers to win it all, which means for some fast cash bet on the Jets. :usuck:
