Giants Pulled It Out But The Defense Has Been Playin Like Shit They Need To Get Going.
I've Always Wanted To Watch The Giants On Thanksgiving I'm Pumped About That Even Though Going To Denver On A Short Week Is Challenging. Catching Denver At The Right Time Though Should Balance That Out. Eat Some Turkey Watch The Giants Win Lookin Forward To It.
I Was Just Looking It Up The Giants Played On Thanksgiving In 92 I Dont Really Remeber That For Some Reason Though.
I think they played the Lions, LT had like a 80 yard INT return or something?

Maybe, maybe not. None of them are looking like a possible contender at the moment.Quote:

Hate to say it fellas.
I'll put it in Gruden's words
"They're only a couple games out the playoffs"
Haha Titans/Giants Super Bowl F.t.W
Yeah, I'm glad to see the Titans doing well. But in their 4 wins, weren't three again losing teams and one against an average team. A change was needed at QB this season, but no disrespect to Collins. He was one of the main reasons the Titans had such a good record last year.
They also lost their first 3 or 4 games of the season by a very small ammount and some of those were against good teams. Houston was the next big thing in the AFC, was. Like I said, Titans take down the Colts undefeated season.
Do the Patriots end the Saints win streak next week?
No. Just not. Not in the 'dome.

Pittsburgh School District Leads Nation In Ability To Spell 'Roethlisberger'
November 26, 2009 | Onion Sports
http://www.theonion.com/content/file...icle_large.jpg
PITTSBURGH—Just four years ago, then-eighth-grader Heather Lawler had no idea how to spell Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger's last name. She would often eliminate the "e" after the "o," or place an extra vowel before the "l."
Sometimes, she even wrote out the last six letters as "burger."
Now a high school senior, Lawler is just one of thousands of Pittsburgh students who will graduate with the ability to spell Roethlisberger in the 97th percentile, a statistic that puts her head and shoulders above millions of students across the United States.
"If you look at the data, our students were correctly spelling Roethlisberger only 43 percent of the time during the quarterback's rookie season," said Pittsburgh mayor Luke Ravenstahl, who called the 2004 statistic an embarrassment. "In just five years, we have increased that number to 92 percent. That's 54 percent better than students in California, 35 percent better than those in Oklahoma, and 96 percent better than those in the Cleveland area, who tend to spell Roethlisberger by adding the letters 'u,' 'c,' and 'k' after the letter 's.'"
"The bottom line is the Pittsburgh school system is giving its students a leg up on the competition, not only in America, but throughout the world," Ravenstahl added. "Our kids correctly spelled Roethlisberger 12 times more often than all the students in Europe and Asia combined."
Pittsburgh teachers said that in 2005 they noticed an alarming trend: Students stopped using Roethilsberger's last name in essays and papers, instead referring to the quarterback by his easy-to-spell nickname, "Big Ben." That summer, the Pittsburgh school board took action, eliminating various art courses, American history, and Advanced Placement calculus in favor of a rigorous new curriculum focused squarely on getting its students back on track.
Instead of taking world history, seventh-graders were enrolled in Spelling Roethlisberger I. Geometry and trigonometry were replaced by Advanced Roethlisberger-Memorizing. And rather than "waste time," as Ravenstahl said, in AP chemistry and English, juniors and seniors were required to take an intensive Roethlisberger colloquia, in which they would spend a three-hour class period not only discussing the spelling of Roethlisberger, but the spelling of the names of other Steelers players, such as strong safety Troy Polamalu and left guard Chris Kemoeatu.
According to biology teacher Mark Irwin, who also serves as an interdisciplinary Interpretations of the Spelling of Roethlisberger IV instructor, the current curriculum gives graduating students the skills essential to becoming contributing members of the Pittsburgh community.
"When I was in school, every single one of us knew how to spell Bradshaw," Irwin told reporters. "Granted, Roethlisberger is more difficult, but the world in general is becoming an increasingly demanding place, and we have to prepare our students to meet that demand."
"I'm just happy with how the parents have taken initiative on the home front," Irwin added. "Some of these kids come into eighth grade already knowing how to spell Roethlisberger, which makes things a lot easier on us, and allows teachers to develop their skills even further."
High school principal Dr. Allen Pembrook said that seniors in his school spend the entire second half of the year gearing up to take their RSATs, or Roethlisberger Standardized Assessment Test. During this time, all other courses—even Steelers Defenses 1970 to Present—take a backseat as students prepare for the 17-question exam.
"The first three questions are pretty easy," said high school senior Brent Gerson, referring to the portion of the test in which students are asked to give the first letter of the quarterback's first name, then the second, the third, and so on. "The last 14 questions about the last name are pretty hard. There is no letter bank or anything, and it's graded on full completion. But if you remember what you worked on for the last six years, and the student sitting in front of you remembers to wear his Roethlisberger jersey, you should be fine."
Thus far the new curriculum has paid off for students entering the job market, especially those who wish to remain in the city after graduation.
"If you ask me if I would rather hire a kid from Boston with a 4.0 GPA who puts a 'u' after the 'b' in Roethlisberger, or a kid who can spell the name correctly, I'm going to hire the kid who can spell Roethlisberger," said Pittsburgh attorney Martin Snyder, adding that clients in Southwestern Pennsylvania appreciate, above all, a lawyer with a working knowledge of how to spell the names of the entire 2005 Super Bowl team. "Anyone can go to law school and pass a bar exam, but knowing that there is a silent 'h' after the 'w' in Cowher? Well, that takes somebody special."http://www.theonion.com/content/them...terminator.gif
Speaking of Rothylessbugere the Steelers will play the Ravens on national television Sunday night with Dennis Dixon at QB. Ed Reed is lickin his chops.
the redskins will end the saint's perfect record next week
i hope dennis dixon gets hurt. the steelers just signed former pitt qb tyler palko. joe flacco was his back up at pitt and transferred to deleware because he wasn't getting any playing time. i'd love to see palko beat him.Quote:

I saw Jerome Bettis at the Detroit airport today. Walked right by him and didnt realize it was him til like 3 seconds later
Jus thought that was kinda cool
HOLY SHIT!!!!! Vince Young just threw for 387 yards, and led a game winning 99 yard drive that ended with a 4th and goal from the 10 yard line TD pass with no time on the clock! Lesson learned = When Matt Leinart and Vince Young square off, it's a epicly great football game that ends with Vince being the hero, and Leinart crying.
thats going to be the highlight of Vinces career.
beating the Arizona cardinals at home against their backup QB needing a 99 yard game winning drive.
Yeah, I think it would have been a different outcome if Warner would have been playing. Leinart sucks.
Neither of you watched that game, so stop acting like you did. Leinart played very well. Kurt Warner would have been knocked out again if he played. Vince Young won the National Championship game almost single handed. Then he won the rookie of the year award in the NFL. Then the next season he led the Titans to the playoffs, and played in the Pro Bowl. He has won 9 straight starts in the NFL, but you guys act like he sucks. He WILL win comeback player of the year this season btw. What is your problem with him?

sorry.
How is he inconsistent? You do realize YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME don't you? 9 straight wins. 24-11 in his NFL career. He is a 4th quarter comeback specialist as well. Inconsistent huh? Care to elaborate?Quote:

9 straight wins??? How many of those were in the playoffs??
he played for a good team, but they never could win it all BECAUSE THEY DIDNT HAVE A GOOD ENOUGH QB.
It is the number 1 criticism for the Titans.
thats my elaboration.
Desean Jackson has a concussion and Selek is having hand issues........Oy vey!!!!!

fucking smiley faces ruining my youtube video
When did I act like I think he sucks, or that I have a problem with him? Warner is better than Leinart and Young.Quote:
