If he looks like Harang...he might want to consider getting a customer service job at Citibank or something

I get my wish about Walker leaving.  Now we'll get a speedy TB...a gamebreaker.

I kind of figured OSU was going to lose alot this year....those guys are contemplating life without Troy Smith....they just can't trust the new QB.

i think you will also be pleased with the new defensive coordinator...we ain't giving up on Ben Martin yet

shoota!!!! you wanna go the sizzler and get some grub?

Except for the fact that Aaron Harang is like 6'8" but yeah, Macke looks like him.  Jim, send me an email adam_sayer@hotmail.com. You can tell me whatever you want. The Doctor is in.

Yes ND is going to have a rough season next year but i think they will still be eligible for a BCS bowl.  Again it looks like they have a killer beginning half schedule then end their season with the patsies.  Opening with G Tech is going to be a good tester esp with they way their backup played in the bowl game (but with calvin johnson gine their DB's won't be tested). then they follow that up with their Big 10 schedule.  THen they must travel to UCLA then back home to revive the rivalry with BC then follow that with USC at home.  i think they can make it out of that schedule with 2 or less loses and be eligible.  I am not saying they will be worthy of the bowl but they will be eligible.

I think it will help that jimmy boy is there taking classes right now and learning the offense this spring and summer.  hopefully that will help the freshman learning curve.

on the NFL side i am going to make some bold predictions

Colts - going back to the town they just left overnight and will have the same departure after they win this game

Pats - i just don't see a rookie QB beating bill in a playoff game - i think he will have many defensive looks that will confuse rivers and he will also contain LT for most of the game.  key word is contain b/c i don't think he can be stopped.

Saints - emotional win here just like the fist home game against the ATL

Seahawks - Sexy Rexy is too inconsistent for my liking but it might all come together for him the same way it did for leak.  i see a low scoring affair for this game.


I know i went with 3 out of 4 road teams considering the home team wins 80% of the time in the divisional round.  But all rational thinking went out the window when UF just made THE ohio state SUCKeyes their personal whipping boys (i know this OSU comment is going to give me negative karma but oh well - lol)

The NFC games seem pretty definet with Da Bears and the Saints.

I hate to say it but i think that the Ravens are going to disguise coverages and blitzes, and really come after Payton.

With Jamuel Lewis running the ball a on weak rush defense it seems like a pretty easy pick to me.

In the Chargers and Patriots game. I'm going with the LT factor and Shaune Marrion on defense.

[Adam Sayer]

Well, who the **** knows? The Colts won and the Saints. But I will say that the playoff games thus far have been good ngames. Me and you, your momma and your cousin too.

So, giving out point spreads at the breakfast counter this morning and the Colts-Baltimore game is brought up.  The line in the local paper, dont know if it was the national line or not, favored the Ravens by four.  Quickly proceeded to start handing the line out at 12 for the Dolts.

Now, havent bet on football since January of 86, and even then it was like some attrition fantasy league, where you want the players from your favorites opposition on your fantasy roster to play well and their teammates to lose the ball game for the sake of your real team (read: not fantasy.)  AKA - a point teaser... you know, where all you have to get are the digits in the right hand column correct.

The 86 scenario cost 15 grand on a needless field goal.  Grogans neckroll  alone should have gotten one more first down.  Damn Patriots!

The only reason I bring this up is due to the fact that the Colts got the ball back for the last play of the game well within field goal range. 

Not to be confused with a Bears fan or a Dolts fan, prefer to define my professional football fanship universe as what it is not: a Patriots fan.  Marsha! Marsha! Marsha!

Can see it now, the headline will read like this if the Dolts dont get to play the Bolts - that kicker always beats the Colts.  Somebody go warm Vrable up on the jugs machine.

well 3 out of 4 isn't bad esp when the loss is in OT i was pretty dang close.  we have two great games next sunday with the RCA dome holding its first ever conference championship game, plus manning v. brady plus colts v. pats a matchup i think all NFL fans love

in the NFC we have the feel good story against the reborn monsters of the midway.  that bears pass D had some huge holes in it and the saints have been able to throw the ball against anyone this should be another very good game

if i had many sweaters, would you say that i had a plethora of sweaters?

[maxamillion]

and some people say cuecumber taste better pickle..what? huh? what?

[Superfoot Wallace]

Anybody notice that Marsha was throwing the ball to Rexs receivers?  Or the fact a Bloomington kids starting in front of the son of the greatest Purdue QB and a former Purdue QB versus old man Grieses potential usurper this coming week?

If I had some nuts hanging on the wall would they be walnuts?
