WHO WILL WIN THE SUPER BOWL ???

[Pugger]

I feel sorry for Packer fans who have not been tempered by the '50s, '70s or '80s!

I don't remember the 50s (I was just a little kid) but I do recall the dreadful 70s and 80s.

The Lions don't have quite the heartbreaking history of Cleveland, simply because they rarely get into a position to cause any heartbreak.

The Lions are more on a par with the Toronto Maple Leafs, who have not won a Stanley Cup since 1967, I believe.

Something mildly amusing though not at all surprising happened the last couple weeks. I was at the gym, working out, and one of the TV's was on ESPN (it's the only time I watch that channel, except for the draft). It was a Monday or Tuesday, after Green Bay had got its ass handed to it by AZ. All the talking heads were slobbering over Arizona - the most complete team in the NFL, the most dynamic head coach, the deepest team, the most balanced team, and on and on and on it went.

Then, at the gym again following Seattle's spanking of AZ this past week, the very same talking heads were on ESPN, saying the very same things . . . about Seattle. They couldn't polish Seattle's knob enough.

So ESPN's in-dpeth, expert analysis apparently comes down to whoever looked the best most recently is clearly the best team in the NFL.

There was no such thing as free agency as we know it today. Trades were very common, even with your greatest rivals, and they had waivers.

My "tempered" contract was in response to the comment about not experiencing losing teams, long absences from playoffs, etc.

Yes, that was a not well executed joke.

[Pugger]

Carolina might make the SB seeing they have HFA. Its prob a toss up between them and AZ.

And that's why you and I, and a whole lotta other people who can actually think don't watch them.

GB. After they get their shit together against Wash, the confidence starts to grow. Then Stubby uses the ass kicking they got from Arizona and uses that as fuel for a complete turnaround game vs the Cards leading up to a home field NFC championship game vs the Seahawks, which is a repeat of the earlier game this year vs Seattle. No stopping them in the SB!

The offense magically fixes itself and Stubby gets his head out of his ass for the next 4 games. Whooo hooo! Super Bowl Champs!!

But it's not a magic fix - it starts by gaining confidence against Washington's secondary.

I believe what you prose here is impossible. If GB and Seattle win, GB plays Carolina and Sea plays AZ

[Infamous]

Anyone but Seattle please

or Pats......PLEASE!

Rand, you sure about that? GB was the 5 seed and Seattle was the 6 seed. Wouldn't 5 go to 2 and 6 go to play 1?

If so it would be GB at AZ and Sea at Carolina.

You wouldn't see Cleft Crusty commit such buffonery.

#1 seed gets worst remaining seed in Division round no matter Division alignment.

Cleft has fact checkers. (or had them)

Rand has unpaid interns.
