New Orleans 14 @ Chicago 39
Fmragtops is practicing his most potent voodoo spells, but so far that #1 Offense of the New Orleans Saints looks… Absent.
The Saints fumbled and gave the Bears a great opportunity. If the Bears had just taken the Field Goal in the first place, I would have said that the turnover cost them 3 points, but considering the number of opportunities the Bears blew down there, it’s a big win for the Saints to have held them to 3.
Did you know, a Bear is a big, burly gay guy? I’m just saying is all.
Halfway through the second. Bears lead 9-0. If this is going to be another soccer game like last week’s agonizing game, then I’m going to take a nap. I hope a football game breaks out before the half is over.
I gave the dogs a bath and finally some football gets played. 16-7 Bears lead at the half. Figures I’d miss the only worthwhile part of the half.
Reggie Bush takes it 88 yards and does a front flip into the end zone. 16-14. We looks to haves a football game!
The end there was just ugly and brutal. After a short momentum shift at the end of the first half and the beginning of the second half in favor of the Saints, it was all Bears. Final 39-14 Bears. I’m not particularly surprised that a dome team performed poorly in the cold rain/snow of Chicago. Pretty much expected.
New England 34 @ Indianapolis 38
Time for Gayton Manning to choke and Tom Gaydy and the Gaytriots to move on to yet another Super Bowl.
A completely botched play results in a Patriot touchdown. That’s the difference between a championship team and an ordinary one. A championship team overcomes adversity, just like the Patriots turned a fumble into a touchdown.
Patriots get a big 4th down conversion and then Corey Dillon just waltzes in for the touchdown. 14-3 Gaytriots lead.
They’re just running away with it, aren’t they? 21-3 Gaytriots. I hate to say it, because I freakin’ hate the Gaytriots, but they’re the next Super Bowl Champ. Actually I knew that when they beat San Diego to make it to this week.
I forgot to mention, that was the famous Manning choke I predicted.
At the end of the Half, the Dolts try to mount a comeback drive that falls short. They even try to argue that there should be a penalty for the receiver tripping over his own damn foot. Sorry, Tony Dungee, but being a world class klutz isn’t against the rules. 21-6 at the half.
The Colts come out of the locker room and put together a major drive down the field, culminating in a QB sneak by Manning for the TD. 21-13. Just think if Manning hadn’t choked. It would be 14-13 right now, but Manning always chokes, so they still have some ground to pick up. I doubt they will.
Holy crap! TD and 2 pointer. Tie game. 21-21.
It didn’t take long for New England to strike back. After review the call stands as a touchdown. I can hear the whiners now, “The ref stole the game.” It was a tough call. I’m not sure if the worst thing that happened was the defender pushing him. He may not have come down inbounds had he not been pushed. But it’s irrelevant. If the Colts deserve to win, they will over come it.
This has really turned into a shootout. The Colts come right back and tie it all back up at 28. This may come down to who has the ball last.
How about that drop? It’s no wonder he was wide open. The defense obviously knows the guy couldn’t catch a cold, much less a football.
Unfreakinbelievable! Brady throws a game and season ending interception. I didn’t believe they could do it, but the Colts won.
Super Bowl Chicago vs Indianapolis.

It’s hard to beat the referees. But we still beat the eggos.

Beat the referees? The Aints Blew and sucked. How do you blame the refs? Plus, as I point out every damn year, any team worth winning a championship overcomes any and all adversity.
Sorry Monsieur, but your team just wasn’t up to the task.

WOW! What a game! I like Tony D, so as much as it pains me, I’m pulling for the Colts. Now I just jinxed them. Damn. Sorry, FM…that’s what Bush gets for the endzone flip. We feel your pain.

You doubted the dolts?! I just wish the saints had kicked the bears butts, but oh well! Now we gotta count on Payton and teh Dolts to keep the screwy bear fans from opening their mouths! Quite possibly the most annoying fans next to Red sox fans on the planet!!

The Aint’s blew and sucked? Really? AMazing, cuz I thought the teams that blew and sucked were the teams that weren’t playing this weekend. You know, like the eggos.
The adversity of the referees interpreting the rule of down by contact differently depending on who has the ball is a little tough to overcome no matter who you are. You’re just bitter you talked all that smack last weekend, and your team got beat.
Now, I also understand how you see an ugly game and think crappy football is being played. After all, you’re a yankee that watches pro-football and thinks college football is mediocre. See, there are only two real defenses in the NFL: Chicago and Baltimore. Defense makes it hard to score. That’s why The Colts only scored 15 points against the Ravens. It’s called defense. That’s why there 22 players on the field at any given time.
I’m sure you enjoyed the AFC Championship game. It was pretty much devoid of defense.

Actually, out of the teams that remained yesterday: I really, really hate the Gaytriots. I hate the Colts. I don’t like the Bears, and I am ambivalent toward the Saints. Out of all the remaining teams, I had the least hate for your team, so I wanted them to win.
Re-read the post, it’s favorable toward them. I never called them the “Aints” until you provoked a comment. I called the Bears gay, but didn’t call New Orleans gay. I didn’t call them the Yellow Submarines. I was excited when they started to catch up.
The only one still stuck on last week is you.
I’m familiar with the concept of defense, but when I don’t give a flying crap about either team, I prefer not to see a defensive battle. The AFC game was a bit devoid of defense, but a kicking match pretty much just sucks. I like to see at least the occasional TD. Somewhere in between the two is my ideal.
College football is mediocre. The NFL has some colossally stupid rules, but the level of play is still higher. Period. I have no patience for that, which is why I barely even pay attention to the regular season. My philosophy is, “Wake me up when it actually matters who wins,” which would mean the playoffs.
