Thanks, *******.I'll rephrase. I heard the home broadcast of the Steelers game. Was the national TV broadcast as exciting (say, a 10.5 out of 10)? __________________ *MafiaBass*Joshweek*Letter Bombs!*Prices*Gatherer*Logout*No More Rickrolls! “Reason is not automatic.

I started Charles in every league. And thank you  I lost my money league in the finals for the FOURTH year in a row. Can never get over that hump. Sigh.

Sucks that the Saints lost, although we did catch a break the next day with the Vikings losing, all but cementing our #1 seed going into the playoffs. I hope the Saints come back hard and roll Tampa Bay and Carolina to pick up some more momentum going into the post-season...__________________ Email me if you have any Counterspells for trade!Current Count: 734 Are you looking for some lower-end cards that don't appear on people's H/W lists?

The Broncos showed today just what kind of a team they are, GUTLESS! Orton was awful with two INTs to a linebacker who returned both for over 100yds and 2 TDs, they were sloppy on both sides with waaaay too many penalties, and their "dominant" defense was God aweful.The 2009 Broncos will be remembered for having a new coach, new QB, new RB, several new defensive players, and for being the same gutless wonders that they have always been.

Good thing McDaniels suspended Marshall and Schefler.Sacrificing a season to prove a non-existent point? Seems harsh. The iggles, aside form McNabb and Trotter showed NO passion in that game. Samuels tried so hard for picks he gave up two huge plays including the first touchdown and Maclin looked like he didn't give two shakes. Reid better light a fire for next week. __________________ Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore"

Sucks to Wes Welker right now. Torn ACL and MCL after an awesome season.

I wasn't necessarily expecting New England to make it out of round 2 anyway, but yeah, that does suck. Maybe having Fred Taylor back (and therefor a running game) will make up for it. I'm also feeling for Pat White right now. I hope he's ok. __________________ *MafiaBass*Joshweek*Letter Bombs!*Prices*Gatherer*Logout*No More Rickrolls! “Reason is not automatic.

Did you watch either of those games today? Both teams that you have losing DOMINATED the teams they played. And they play again, in the exact same circumstances next week. Philly is going to actually score, but Romo and company are playing at an elite level. Dallas wins by 2 touchdowns.

I saw the Packers dominate Matt Leinart. I doubt they'll dominate Warner, especially if Woodson doesn't play. The Dallas/Philly and GB/AZ games today are not an indication of what will happen next weekend. quote: Philly is going to actually score, but Romo and company are playing at an elite level.

Anyone who has any faith in the Cowgirls winning a playoff game hasn't watched them in the playoffs the last 10+ years. Romo and the Cowgirls are going to have to prove they can show up and win a game that matters. Until then, they don't deserve any credit, hype, or the tag of "Favorite". Philly wins big, 31-10.

You do realize Warner sat the game out? Cardinals/Green Bay had nothing to play for. They would have rather gone home and played magic. The cardinals were going to play and start Warner if the giants could win a game, but alas they suck.

I apologize. I've been working all day, and the cowboys game was on locally. I did not see that warner sat out. As for the cowboys, they've now won 3 in a row in december and january, something they haven't done in, forever? Philly had all their players, and they shut down Westbrook (37 total yards), Jackson (53 total yards), and dominated rushing yards by a 4.5/1 margin. Philly will make adjustments, but Dallas is playing too well right now.

I agree that Dallas is a good team, and very hot right now, but their lat playoff win was, iirc, SB 30. Since then they haven't done **** in the playoffs, and Romo has looked like crap in the playoffs. He's been better this year, but he, and the team as a whole, is going to have to prove that they deserve respect, hype, and the right to be called a favorite (game) or contender for the SB. IMO, this game will be decided by Dallas' defense. If the defense that showed up when the Giants came to town, Philly is going to obliterate them. If the defense that showed up yesterday, it's going to be close and Dallas will have a shot at winning. But if Dallas loses, Shanahan or Cowher will be the coach by Monday. On another note, the Suh sweepstakes has begun. IMO, St Louis needs to draft a QB. They, like the 08 Lions, only have one offensive weapon. The Rams need help on both sides of the ball, but if you can't score, you can't win. They, again like the 08 Lions, can't go wrong, but that team is in desperate need of help for Stephan Jackson. If the Rams tale Suh, the Lions need to draft Okung so Stafford can at least have a little protection.

Dallas may have steamrolled over Philadelphia, but a lot of teams weren't playing hard that had nothing to lose in terms of playoff seeds.Look what happened to Arizona and New England they lost key players already. The Patriots will have problems if the Ravens double up on Moss. I still think the Colts are the team to beat in the AFC and as for the NFC, probably Minnesota instead of New Orleans.

Based on the last 2 weeks.... I think CJ wins the MVP. Please stay off the Madden Cover.__________________ Co-Champion - 2009 MOTL Fantasy Football 2nd Place - 2003 MOTL Fantasy Football

If CJ doesn't win, I call shenanigans. How do you set the all time scrimmage yards record and not get MVP?

Your team goes .500. Peyton Manning or Drew Brees will win, not saying that Chris Johnson didn't have a wonderful year, just that his team's record will probably do him in.

Awful English aside, what does he want with Walter Payton's MVP award? Oh, Peyton Manning...I hate twitter.
