it doesnt matter who is in the super bowl, its going to get huge ratings.
Thats the best part about the NFL is that it is the most level playing field in sports today, and the players till have to actually earn their paychecks because nothing is really guaranteed.
And the owners and franchises are in control, which is better because once the players get too much power, the game suffers.
Just look at whats happening in the NBA and MLB.
I know workers everywhere will always fight for representation and a better wage, but I'll never feel sorry for any athletes these days, with the amount they make.
For me? Green Bay vs. Pitt would be a great matchup, but any combination would be decent.
I dont particularly think the Bears are that great though. I think they get stomped again.
Jets fan killed sleigh-riding while celebrating Gang Green's playoff win died wearing Sanchez jersey
BY JOE JACKSON AND JOHN LAUINGER
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITERS
A Jets fan who was run over by a car while sleigh-riding in celebration of Gang Green's huge playoff win Sunday died wearing a Mark Sanchez jersey, a neighbor said.
"I'm shocked," Steve Mulak said of the freak accident that claimed the life of 46-year-old Staten Islander Ray Larsen.
"It's a real tragedy. He was a great man - a Jets season-ticket holder."
After the Jets beat the New England Patriots to advance to the AFC title game, Larsen rode a "flying saucer" down his steep, unplowed driveway on Cleveland Ave. in Eltingville.
The father of two - who had been drinking at a restaurant during the game - slammed into a passing Hyundai SUV as he rocketed across the street, police said.
One of the tires ran over his head, causing massive injuries. He died at a local hospital, police said.
The driver, Josephine Scotto, 61, of nearby Great Kills, was not charged with a crime, police said.
As Larsen's family grieved privately inside their home yesterday, Mulak, 63, used a shovel to rid the block of a horrible reminder of the tragedy - a blood-stained snowbank.
Neighbors described Larsen as an avid sailor who would always decorate his home for Halloween and Christmas.
"He was a very nice guy," said Joseph Fitzpatrick, 47. "He was the kind of person who really loved life. He was always celebrating life, and in that he tragically met death."

--Homeless man is the king of fantasy football
Three million people competed at fantasy football on ESPN.com this year. One man managed to rise above all of them, and he did it despite not having a computer. Or a place to live.
For the sake of comparison, I finished under .500 in a league of 12 people, and I spend all day with my face buried in NFL news, stats and highlights.
Obviously, Nathan Harrington, 33, of Salem, Mass., knows something I don't. Harrington ended up homeless after needing back surgery, going on medical leave from his job, and being forced to leave his home because it was condemned.
And still, he was better than over 3 million people at fantasy football.
He used computers at his father's nursing home, his mother's house, and the library. He knocked on neighbors' doors and asked if he could use their computers.
If you're wondering about specifics, Harrington drafted Arian Foster(notes) and picked up Brandon Lloyd as a free agent. He made trades for Adrian Peterson and Dwayne Bowe.
Oddly, Tony Romo was his quarterback, but when Romo went down with a season-ending injury, Harrington had to make due with a string of borderline fantasy quarterbacks. He clinched the top spot behind Tim Tebow's surprising Week 17 performance against the Chargers. From The Salem News:
"My fantasy football was the one thing that kind of seemed to be going right at the time," Harrington said. "There was a lot to be upset about, but the one thing that was steady and heading in a positive direction was the fantasy football. So I thought I might as well stick with it and ride it out. Thank God I did."
For his unbelievable performance, Harrington won a $3,500 Best Buy gift card, which he's selling to his mother for $2,500 cash.
his own mom is ripping him off.
http://www.giftcardrescue.com/sell would give him $2,100 for a $2,500 gift card. though they won't buy anything above that price
He probably could have gotten most, or just about all of the $3,500 back(minus the Ebay fees) if he had a computer and an Ebay account.
Jay Cutler Proves Naysayers Wrong By Defeating Shittiest Team Ever To Make Playoffs
JANUARY 21, 2011 |
http://o.onionstatic.com/images/arti...pscale_q85.jpg
CHICAGO—Silencing once and for all the multitude of critics who said he did not have what it took to be a postseason quarterback, Bears quarterback Jay Cutler led the Bears to the NFC Championship Game last Sunday by defeating the 8-10 Seattle Seahawks, by far the worst team ever to make the playoffs. "I think I've demonstrated what I'm truly capable of when I'm playing to my strengths," said Cutler, who threw for two touchdowns against Seattle's godawful 27th-ranked defense and had a four-game interception streak snapped only because Seahawks safety Jordan Babineaux inexplicably muffed a pass thrown at the goal line. "People got to see my true potential today." Cutler will play his first postseason game against an opponent with a winning record Sunday.
He did what Drew Brees couldn't.
Sounds like something Art would do. It takes all kinds.
--St. Paul bar to roast bear for Packers-Bears game
ST. PAUL, Minn. – A sports bar owner in Minnesota is showing his support for the Green Bay Packers in this weekend's game against the Chicago Bears in a very literal way — by roasting a bear.
Blake Montpetit, the co-owner of Tiffany Sports Lounge in St. Paul, says he plans to cook a 180-pound black bear in a pig-roaster over hickory and charcoal on Sunday. He says his cousin shot it in northern Wisconsin during bear hunting season, which runs in September and October, and then froze it.
Montpetit says he planned to serve the meat to customers, but the state health department rejected the plan because the meat is unprocessed. Instead, customers can take photos with the roasting bear.
After the game, the meat will go his cousin's party in Somerset, Wis.
180lb black bear??? what's he doing, cooking a fetus?
Guess who just scored a ticket to the AFC Championship Game
I'm busting, Jerry. I'm busting!

Hmmm.....i wonder if there will be any issues
I agree. Fuck the cheese head packers. Why the fuck you dorks root for this team is beyond me.Quote:

Hester, best returner

Then you have urlacher, Peppers, etc.
The Bears have swagger.
Packers vs Jets Superbowl. That's what I'm thinking.
^^I told you that already, chill.
Is it too early to say Bear Down?
Bad pass int. call on the Bears there.
Todd Collins in?
No, Lovie needs to give Martz total control and just hope for a miracle at this point. OR that D needs to step the fuck up....Urlacher shoulda went all the way.
LOL Maybe Martz has taken over....
This is fuckin' nuts.
Black and yellow!
The bears are trying to keep up.....
but i don't think so
I wonder how Bret Favre feels right now?
A time out to call an end-around on 3rd and 4?
WTF?
Mike Martz is an utter moron!!!
lol sanchez wiping a booger on brunell
it was over before it even began smh
This is one of the hardest hitting title games I have seen since Packers/Giants in '08...
Obvious Harrison hit Sanchez late on the scramble...he held up but he still hit him way after the slide. Rules are rules and Pittsburgh lucks out again.
Packers got a fuck load of calls today too, Bears kinda got screwed but they really didn't show up anyway.
of course we won....
jets d is a worse version of the ravens D. packers soft we already won the super bowl
^LOL and Dooch says I'm a front runner.
I got the Packers in this Super Bowl.
Clay Matthews is going to show Ben what it's like to be MOLESTED.
20 bucks says Art and his grandma are jumping around hugging eachother in front of the TV as I type.
hell nah i aint no front runner lol. thats where my family from and im there all the time. NFC is a joke tho. Matthews better take some extra HGH these next couple weeks cuz they gonna need a miracle. They one dimensional. theres no way that nobody they got as their running back is gonna do anything.Quote:

And yes a dynasty is a team that is built to contend year in and year out, 3 in 6 would in my eyes atleast solidify them. I could see the argument that they'd have to win 4 in 7 with this and next year going back 2 back. Every sports dynasty has won atleast two back to back.
I'm rooting for the Packers in the Super Bowl. I was surprised the Bears made it a game there in the second half with their third string QB.
A bunch of players were saying that Cutler must not have been that injured, if he was able to stand on the sideline?

Really? LoL.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA urban meyer rule. its true.Quote:
