American Football (NFL, College, etc.)

I'd bet you but I've already lost all my Monopoly $$. :beaten:
Brady would get my vote as the MVP. :applaud:

Brady broke these records this year:
— 28 consecutive regular-season wins at home as a starter.
— 335 straight passes without an interception.
— 9 games with at least two touchdown passes and no interceptions.

Brady also became one of six quarterbacks (Dan Marino did it twice) to throw at least one touchdown pass in each game since the NFL went to a 16-game schedule in 1978. He finished with the fifth-best passer rating in NFL history (111.0).

A great season by Brady, especially given the changes on offense and the defense not doing so great. Really amazing on Brady's part, especially the low amount of interceptions this season and hopefully he continues that into the playoffs.

Been watching most of the Rams-Seahawks game... Talk about two inept teams going at it. :shakehead:

Either team should be a road apple for the Saints next week.

And Sam Bradford doesn't look like QB: he looks more like a cartoon character.

Pete Carroll is taking the Seahawks to the playoffs! What a great hire by the organization. :beaten:

Well Pete, have fun getting beat by the Saints.

I was really hoping the Seahawks would lose..

I guess they will next weekend. :beaten:

It was a terrible game. :sweat:

It was.

A battle of ineptitude.

An impressive Stanford team hammers Virginia Tech in the Orange Bowl. The Cardinal were very physical, very aggressive, and very good. It will be pretty surprising if Andrew Luck doesn't declare for the NFL draft and Jim Harbaugh doesn't end up leaving for another coaching job (the question for Harbaugh is will it be in the NFL or Michigan?)

^ The final score was 40-12, BTW. ;)

Wasn't competitive at all. Hopefully tonight's game will be better.

Well the Sugar Bowl turned out to be more entertaining, with Ohio State beating Arkansas, 31-26. Too many drop passes by Arkansas. The Ohio State defense was really getting to Mallett.

Harbaugh to the 49ers for five years, $25 million. I'm expecting playoffs from the 49ers given the money Harbaugh is going to be paid.

Now the Niners need a QB... A good, quality, consistent QB.

And it ain't Vince Young. :bleh:

First year for new playoff rules regarding OT, if the team winning the coin flip scores a TD, the game is still over, :woot: but what's new is if they just score a FG then the other team gets the ball, :grumble: if they score a FG to tie then it goes back to the same sudden death rule.

Well the problem is other than Vince Young, there aren't any quality QB's in the free agent market for 2011. There's Peyton Manning, who I would be shocked if he didn't re-sign with Indy, and Michael Vick, who I also don't expect to bail out on Philly after the season he's had.

Dopey rules... Why not just have them play another quarter (or half-quarter if they think that's too long)?

It is dopey, too many complained that it's such an unfair advantage to the team winning the coin toss yet it's only happened 3 times in OT history where a team has won the game with a FG on that opening drive. :sweat:

Well, their new head coach just might be their best QB right now. :hehe:

Wonder if Geezer is happy with this new hire?

It depends whether or not Geezer is a Cal or Stanford fan. :mrgreen:

Speaking of coaching, this wasn't mentioned before, but Raiders owner Al Davis fired head coach Tom Cable after the Raiders had their best season since losing to Tampa Bay in the Super Bowl. I'm not a Raiders fan, but Al Davis is seriously the NFL's equivalent to the Clipper's Donald Sterling, an incompetent owner who always screws his team over right when things start to look promising. :beatyou:
