NFL Playoffs and Superbowl

[Keeper of Secrets]

Sadly, we can't say the best team won.

Gee, thanks NFL pass interference rules, you really made the game better.

Did we watch the same game? It was the four interceptions that probably cost the Pack the game, which had nothing to do with the new-ish pass interference rules. They've been the same all season and effect both teams. It's ridiculous to suggest that those rules made any difference in the outcome of this game.

Really? It's ridiculous to think that the Vikings' "toss and pray" style of offense could win without safeties and corners being forced to play 3 feet from receivers to avoid a flag.

Just thought I'd mention it here, in case we have some wealthy Vikings fans:
A danish auction house, along with the Danish TV channel which shows NFL games, are auctioning off 4 unique items. All the money go directly to the relief help in Asia (Red Cross, UNICEF etc. etc.).
The pages are in Danish, sorry, don't know if there's an English version. If anyone are interested, I'd be happy to translate.

The items are as follows:
Randy Moss game jersey (the real deal!), signed:

Daunte Culpepper game jersey (the real deal!), signed:

Edit: changed the links to the English pages. The description is still in Danish, but the navigation should be in English now.

Hopefully bidders on this item weren't watching the game today.

Do we want to start taking bets as to how much Randy Moss' endzone "celebration" is gonna cost him?

I say 10k.

Ok, the text isn't translated yet, but if you want the american/english version of the bidding page change the lang=1 part to lang=2 in the links posted by GentleGiant.

Current bids are around $4,000 for the jerseys, and $1,000 for the cleat.

The Packers rely on the passing game much more than the Vikings. If anything, the new way they are ruling things helps Green Bay more. And, again, it was the four interceptions (which you somehow conveniently ignore) that cost them the game.

THe Vikings were the better team today, they won and the played better then the Packers. But I think that Moss needs a fast recovery ot the Eagles defense will destroy them. Of course the Eagles offense will have trouble with the Vikings defense now that Wingfield (he was great at Ohio State!!) is back. I think the Eagles squeeze out a close win with little offense on either side.

Rams vers the Falcons is also and interesting match up. Defense verse offense again, and as most of the Falcons games come down to, it will depend on Vick. I see Atlanta coming out with the win though.

Nothing. It really wasn't that bad. Now, if he'd have actually mooned the fans, ya. But what he did was at worst just dumb.
