Jets vs. Steelers and Packers vs. Bears! It's Evil vs. Slightly-Less Evil and <3<3<3 A-Rodg vs. Ex-Hatcat — 2010 NFL Conference Chamionships

NFC: rooting for Bears, expecting Packers
AFC: Steelers

people should think long and hard about how much the jets boring-ify any game they're involved in (the actual game, not the surrounding circus)

yeah i mean... i hear you. but there's always the possibility of a sanchize meltdown, which is usually p. fun!

true but u are also a crazy person who suggested jay cutler is dreamier than aaron rodgers o_O

hoping mike tomlin punches rex ryan in the face on media-day.

i respect your commitment to contrarianism but that will not stand

xp

cutler is one of the dumbest-looking men

true but u are also a crazy person who suggested jay cutler is dreamier than aaron rodgers o_O

haha did i? ive already forgotten!!!

cutler looks exactly like harland williams

or maybe you just suggested that cutler's a better QB i can't remember it was hours ago that i read/made that up

im so tired of aaron rodgers. ooh hes so kooky and wacky because he grows eccentric facial hair. if you guys knew packers fans you'd quickly grow to despise the cult of personality around this guy. he stole that stupid title belt celebration from fredex too

now cutler, there's a dreamboat~

oh what a week it will be.

now that all the analysts are in love with aaron rodgers i have been wondering when it's going to start annoying me like with favre/brady but i don't know aaron rodgers is so much cuter than those dudes.

stillers/packers

I'm having trouble imagining aaron rodgers as a national celebrity on the manning/brady/favre level but I guess it's almost inevitable if he wins the super bowl? he really doesn't have the celebrity personality, is the thing.

yikes bart scott

grrrr -- "CAN'T WAIT" -- grrrr. . .

i kinda like that guy.

Anybody got 300 bones?

How have the Jets not been hatcatted yet ???

BTW, Rodgers is a pretty awesome dude. He signed one of my Magic: The Gathering cards.

what card

Mox Emerald (I think it's valued at around $300, it's unlimited but still near mint)

No idea why I did it, just seemed like a cool and random thing to have

Pete Carroll's Twitter avatar is great:

pete carroll's twitter is great, period.

he's wacky, and he tweets a "song of the day."

i had the blue mox at 1 point in my life. that is fairly crazy but w/e, good job frog bs! i feel safe in saying it is probably one of a kind

yes it probably is though my gut feeling was that I probably devalued the card $50-100 by doing so.

now it's probably worth more than an unsigned one, and could be much higher if say, he wins the super bowl, but I have no idea what kind of market there would be for that.

frogbs that's so rad

green mana works w/ green bay too

I think there is probably some dude in america willing to pay $5000 for that, you just have to find that dude

yeah that's about what it would take to get me to sell it too

I mean I doubt the sig itself makes much difference but it's a one-of-a-kind thing that I can't really put a price on

pete carroll's twitter is great, period.

I need to seriously rethink how I am using Facebook ;_;

NFC: Pack
AFC: don't care who wins

did you guys hear about mike florio trying to make everyone think aaron rodgers hates cancer patients?

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/01/16/aaron-rodgers-has-a-lot-to-learn-about-where-his-money-comes-from/

and how the story blew up in his face and how he's now desperately trying to save face?

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/01/17/last-word-on-the-aaron-rodgers-jan-cavanaugh-video

i would love to hit mike florio with a car

lol

NFC: Pack
AFC: Giant fucking sinkhole open and swallow both teams. I hate them both so damn much.

xpost - That (non) story pissed me off so bad. Fuck a Florio, man.

hey frog, can you put up a scan of the autographed card? I think that is SO cool

FUCK Mike Florio, God that article was infuriating. Him showing scorn to the cancer patient for not following along in his assassination of Rodgers reminds me of the South Park episode where the gay rights advocate called Big Gay Al a homophobe.

There are plenty of degenerate players in the league already, write about them.

lol give me a couple days...believe it or not they are all tuckered away in my mom's basement somewhere :)

you mean you don't carry it around with you? ;_;

Gregg Doyel over at CBS Sports wrote a rebuttal...it's a little bit on the sentimental side but I kinda liked it, just for telling more of the real side that Florio ignored.

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/story/14567073/twosecond-video-clip-doesnt-at-all-capture-rodgers

i'd most definitely carry it around if it wasn't so valuable. as it stands my 'lucky charm' is a dollar i got back in change at my work cafeteria, with a "B" and "R" placed on the back so it spells "BONER"

also I do have something even better that I can get you a picture of...my brother drew a picture of Rodgers belting on a sign that we brought to the 49ers game...the thing is such a beauty

I desire to see these things, frog

i would say that i would like to see mike florio beaten senseless for those articles, but i wouldn't step in to protest.

I wish he would go away.

should i place bets against the jets?

it would be sad to have debts because of the jets.

do one of the props instead of the game, there's more money that way.

To me, both of these games are pick-em at best. I don't see any club having a big advantage on the other one, which is kind of true to how the season really went down.

florio is one of those guys who can never ever admit he's wrong, it's like the daily kos of football

Ugh

what a cuet couple

watching my friends freak out like they've never lived in FL before tho has sure been entertaining.

I went to work once when there was a hurricane churning about 150 miles offshore (this was the first time I lived here, back in 1999 or 2000) and got quadruple pay.

A little weather doesn't usually faze me, but the news made tonight out to be some kind of climatological armageddon.

yea they must be bored. grantedi t's not usual for this kind of storm in January but in the summer it's par for the course.

I worked at Best Buy during the threefer hurricane season of Charlie/Frances/Jeanne. so naturally we were closed.

i am literally being made furious by the cutler bashing columns that are still going on, trying to use "new evidence" that he was seen limping up a flight of stairs as meaning he could have played or w/e. it's kinda like i wouldn't mind if people thought he had a shitty game and criticized him on those grounds, but this just seems so "lol u pussy" high school level shit.

yea stuff like that is why I vowed never to post on a football related message board (other than this one) ever again.

Tony Reali, of all people, pointed out yesterday that the "Philip Rivers did it!" claims are bogus, as we went out and did NOT come back in during the game in which he was actually injured. He played (and lost to) the Patriots the following week.

we=he

yep. he also threw two crucial picks in that game that he DID play. but Volek played most of that Colts game

I liked what Drew Brees had to say. he stated that he played with a torn MCL this year but then also said all injuries are different and we shouldn't judge players without these details.

Caleb Haine was on the Dan Patrick Show today and had nothing but good things to say about Cutler helping him with reads and that he was surprised that Cutler didn't play bc he is so competitive.

Haine seems like a cool guy, and apparently the porn stache was the last remnant of a playoff beard some of the guys had been cultivating, lol

That was more like peach fuzz than porn stache.

it was more like a dirty sanchez

I have to wonder how much is Aaron Rodgers success is that he got to sit for a couple of years before having to be the main QB. It's kind of a rare thing for many first round QBs now.

I think it's an interesting discussion. That versus Ben who goes straight in, no bench riding. And it can easily go haywire when you let someone ride the bench too long, maybe they don't have what you wanted after all, or you put someone in too soon and they can never meet expectations. It's a real alchemy, I find it really fascinating,

Y'know, thinking about it, of the dudes who are thrown around commonly as the best QBs, I think Peyton and Roethlisberger are the only guys who get thrown around a lot in the Best QB discussion who started right away. Although Matt Ryan and Sam Bradford could be there in a while.

Rodgers had a bunch of years, Brees and Rivers and Brady all had a year or so, Vick played a little in his first year but wasn't the full-time starter until his 2nd year.

Hasselbeck rode the bench too, right?

Yeah he (and Mark Brunell and Aaron Brooks) was the backup to Favre in GB until Seattle took him.

I get fuzzy on the history sometimes.

I did have to look that up, though, which reminded me of Hasselbeck infamously said "We want the ball, and we’re gonna score!" During the second overtime possession for the Seahawks, Hasselbeck threw an interception to Packers defensive back Al Harris which was returned 52 yards for a touchdown. It gave Green Bay a 33-27 overtime victory

Haaaaaaaa

is it too cynical to say that the cream rises regardless? like, matt flynn has sat behind rodgers, and he doesn't strike me as anything beyond a marginal starter

same for chad henne

I was confused as to which Hasselbeck started where before the lesser Hasselbeck had to resign to a life of being the husband of that crazy lady from the View.

Kurt Warner is the exception to most qb rules.

lol sportscenter just ran a whole segment on rodgers' touchdown celebration ^___________________________________^

<3

Where did lesser Hasselbeck play?

Giants, I know. I forget the others.

Wikipedia is a Hasselbeckian treat today! On Elizabeth Hasselbeck: Hasselbeck and The View co-host Whoopi Goldberg were discussing Senator Hillary Clinton's proposal that the U.S. Government provide a $5,000 savings bond for each child at birth. The conversation became heated when Hasselbeck stated it would lead to fewer abortions due to women wanting to keep the money.

Women be shoppin' u_u

Riding bench vs playing also interesting wrt Sanchez...kind of feel like Jets hold him at cross purposes, like "get out there!" but "call home every 30 minutes so we know you're okay". Feel like the only way anyone is going to know for sure about him is if they loosen the reins on him, let him make his own mistakes. Bunt guess the league isn't like that anymore.

Bunt? But I

the australian open is currently on espn2 (tape delayed)

the scrolling ticker at the bottom of the screen is informing me that when the steelers & packers played in 2009, roffles was 6-for-7 using play-action and rogers was something-for-something when facing 5+ pass rushers

i mean, come on

i hate the crawl. Unless we've been attacked by giant ants or it's raining pancakes, I DON'T CARE

Pouncey is out for the Super Bowl. :(

welp

Any good UFL prospects?

Big B makes the same plays over and over again completely oblivious to the chaos surrounding him but still the loss of Pouncey Billups will have me betting on the Packers.
