Explaining the joke is useless, so i will just cop to the failure.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
Deliberately misquoting and misattributing Lomabardi? negative repped.

Here we go. Now, recognize that it took me 8 minutes of fiddling to produce a 4 way tie for the wild card at 11-5 and the odds of the Packers making the playoffs today, before the result at Tampa is know is roughly 93%. But a GB win plus a Dallas win this week does NOT clinch a playoff spot. But regardless, their chances of being in the postseason are good. Winning at this point is more about the 2 seed than the 6 seed, versus making the tourney at this point.
EDIT: I did have a screen shot all cued up of the Packers and Cowboys both winning in Week 16 and Packers getting the tie breaking shaft at 11-5 but I screen capped Week 17 by mistake. Going back, the only way to get that scenario was to have Dallas lose out of conference this week (16) but win in conference next week (17). I could not create a scenario where the Packers were out if they and the Boys won this week.
It might be that a tie is necessary to produce that condition. And the playoff calculator doesn't do ties.

Well it turns out the ESPN and Yahoo! playoff machines each have the tie game option. Still couldn't find the apparently anomalous set of circumstances that NFL.com has where GB and DAL win in Week 16 doesn't clinch for GB.
At 11-5 (only way to win in Wk 16 and not win division), they have the tie break over Dallas (conf) and Eagles (head to head). Even if you make Eagles the Division winner, can't get Dallas over the Packers for WC.
Couldn't create a tie game that helped.

Packers.com agrees with Tank and ESPN:
http://www.packers.com/news-and-even...41220_37692147With a Green Bay win, the Packers would need either the Eagles (9-5) to lose or the Cowboys (10-4) to win to be assured of getting in. Just one of those other games would need to go Green Bay’s way, but not both.

A wild game in San Fran tonight.
With about 5 minutes remaining it's 49ers 35 - Chargers 28.
The 49ers are 14 yards rushing away ...... from a franchise record for yards rushing in a game.
Gore has 158 yards and Kaepernick has 131 (add another 26 yards) for a total of 315.
The Chargers are trying hard to recover now....2 minutes remain. The ball is on the San Fran 45 2nd and 10.

We want Cowboys to lose so Packers have homefield over them in playoffs. That's the royal "we"
But the Cowboys play better away than at home. Ergo, shouldn't we want the Cowboys to win?
One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

The Eagles are stuffing it in Washington right now.
They just got called for their 11th penalty and they missed 2 relatively easy FG's.
Their snake bite.

The Roughing the passer rule has to be reviewed in the off season.
Washington got a call on a bang bang play. RGIII pass's and is hit softly within a second. The defender actually relaxed the hit closing and quickly opening his arms on the hit. It was a soft hit. RGII felt little impact.
The Official is right there ! Roughing the passer is called.
The call gives Washington new life and they go on to score a TD to go out in front by 3 Points in the 3rd Qtr.
Refferfuckin' Refereeing. What the 'H' is this football or 'Pansy ball'?
I really wonder sometimes if the fix isn't in. The officials get a nice check from Vegas?
There is no way that Washington should win this game without the Officials helping.
The score is now 17-14 and the Eagles are lining up another short FG. Pokey missed a chip shot earlier a 34 Yarder.
Holy mackeral he miss's it again.
Last Play - 02:28 Q3
C.Parkey 46 yard field goal is No Good, Wide Right, Center-J.Dorenbos, Holder-D.Jones.
Cody Parkey came into this game 29 of 31 and he miss's two so far today.
As I'm writing this the Redskins scored again after another long pass to DeSean Jackson who's up to 4 receptions and 126 yards on his day so far.

Eagles just tied the Redskins with 6:17 left in 4th qtr.

I was up early this morning to catch the replay of the San Diego @ San Fran game.
San Fran blew a '21 point lead' which they held 2X in the first half.
This game perfectly illustrates that aspect of a game deemed getting the breaks and making key 3rd and 4th down plays. Making the spectacular 'clutch catch's'. Over the top too many things had to go the Chargers way and they did.
The thing that stood out to me was how much different these two teams were in another important quality.
The will to win......... and San Diego certainly had that.
San Diego is the BEST Road Team in the NFL (over the last two seasons in December) winning about 80% of their games on the road.
Philip Rivers (and maybe not 100% healthy) was clutch last night.
Rivers to Antonio Gates - 7 Receptions for 92 yards and 2 TD's..... was shining as well.
Eddie Royal was spectacular. He had 10 Receptions for 94 Yards and 1 TD. He made an incredible diving and digging it out 20 Yard catch on a fourth down late in regulation to keep the last drive alive to enable the eventual tie..

Former ** CFL player WR Dontrelle Inman was able to replace injured Keenan Allen and show up in the second half of the game with a 7 reception night on 9 targets ....good for 79 yards. This was the first action for him and he looked solid.... sure handed....and ran good routes.
This was a game I'll remember.
There are GEMS out there !
** Dontrelle Inman (College Virginia - 2011 Undrafted) was a solid WR with the Toronto Argonauts (CFL) in 2012 - 13.
