NFL Playoffs and Superbowl

[RatPunk]

My greatest Super Bowl fear is Falcons vs Colts.

Why, you ask?

Living in Central Indiana, I am, of course, a Colts supporter and fan. But my favorite team is and has always been the Falcons. If one or the other make it to the Big Dance, I can cheer away with no concern.

But if they both make it? I'll have to cheer for the Falcons. And that makes my annual Super Bowl Gaming party much more lonely for me...

And Manning does some of the best commercials of any athlete.

Well, I picked ATL vs NE in the Super Bowl, so now I have to root for them. Indy's defense is looking more impressive lately, so I'm starting to believe they're a more complete package than I thought. I'm a defense-lover at heart, though, so I can't see myself rooting for the Colts unless they end up in the Super Bowl, in which case I'll definitely be looking for them to put on a show (and hopefully not sputter like the offense-laden Raiders of a couple of years ago).

If the colts make it to the superbowl they won't be facing a defense like the Raiders did. Phili and the Falcons have some D, but it isn't as smothering like the Bucs was.

Speaking as someone from Central Indiana who is exposed to Colts media constantly, I can assure you this is most definately not the case. Peyton is one of the nicest, classiest guys you could ever hope to meet.

Well, and I should have mentioned this in my other reply, when you're a "celebrity" you almost always have 2 faces. The public face and a private one.
Maybe I'm just too cynical, but it seems to me that the "nice guy" facade slips a bit when not doing interviews, promotions or whatnot.
Again, just a feeling I have from watching him more on the field than at publicity functions (interviews, charity etc. etc.).

And that is true, but it doen't mean his private face is that of an ass. There really are superstars that are actually nice people. And there are ones that are not, but it is not always easy to know the difference. And asusming one way or another seems pointless. It would be like guessing if the posters are EN World are actually nice or not away from the boards.

You know, I had a similar situation back in '98. I, too, am a lifelong Falcons fans. My next favorite is the Vikings. That championship game was murder for me. Part of me wanted the Vikings, because they would likely have beat the Broncos in the Superbowl. But, of course, Atlanta had never been, so I really wanted them to win. Worked out well in the end. Except for them losing the Superbowl.

Yep, that's the one. Kills me. I also like the one where he takes all the Linebackers to a spa. I still think it should be a law that all commercials should be funny or entertaining...

"You are my favorite tax lawyer ever, right there never gonna wash this hand see that" lol

Gentle Giant you are entitled to your opinion thats fine I was just curious why you would say that. And I had a little redneck joke in there myself so no beef here even though I used a double negative. I have seen him at a few charity events and he always does his best to talk to people and be civil. I even seen him out at a resteraunt last year and he was very nice untill he was mobbed and then he had to "escape". But what else was he to do, he couldn't even enjoy his meal.

And I am hardly offended by anything posted unless it insults me directly or calls into question my integrity. Thank you for your clarification and reply.

Of course the Eagles offense will have trouble with the Vikings defense now that Wingfield (he was great at Ohio State!!) is back.

Antoine Winfield also had a handful of probowl-caliber years with the Buffalo Bills, he just didn't get as much publicity when he played in the league's second-smallest market. He has always been a great cover guy and an excellent tackler.

Agreed, I followed his carrier to some degree like I try with all the Buckeyes that make it to the NFL.
