No pro-football thread here???

And they confirmed that neither was the real deal.

LOL. Very true. The Packers defense is playing pretty well. If only we had a running game.

Yikes. The first half was good, but then...yikes. And DC is now hurting, hard to play football without an offensive line.

I feel for you. It could get to be a long fall for young Mr. Campbell.

The Pats on the other hand...they are just...sick.

Yah. I hate seeing Randy Moss doing well; I think he's such a twit.

The Pats remind me of what the 49ers were like in the late 80s/early 90s. So talented, so well-coached, that they could just take it to another level.

Why? Of course he's had a checkered past but he's been the complete opposite this year. There's always a chance for redemption in sports (except for maybe Michael Vick).

I just have never liked his attitude. I'll need to see him trying hard when things aren't going his team's way, for me to think he's changed.

I feel the same way. He's playing very well (nobody would argue about his talent, I think) but I'm waiting to see how he behaves when things go badly. If he keeps his mouth shut and/or says the right things then, I'll believe he drank the Belichick Kool-Aid.

Hoopefully the Belichek Humble Pie will keep them from needing any Kool-Aid.

It's great to be a sports fan in New England these days.

Indeed. Tom Brady's having the kind of season I have when I play Madden on my Xbox.

I think you misspoke there, or I should say mistyped. I think you meant to say the Saints not the RAms. 0-16 is looking likely down here in Louisiana. The magic is gone (along with Deuce for another year).

Now where's that bag again?

Nah, the Saints are back on track in a weak division. Pity the poor Dolphins fan ...


Oh, one thing about the Pack ... even if you're just watching them casually, they'll pull you in, get you excited - and then spit in your face.

Sigh

I'm right with ya.

Ehhh, I've been a Packers fan since 1975. Which means I lived through close to 20 years of mostly-stinky teams, before the Favre Epoch began. The current Packers edition is far more entertaining than, say, the David Whitehurst or Randy Wright eras.
