Go Redskins! By the way, today is Ray Lewis' last home game in Baltimore.

[AnotherUnixGeek]

The two times I have stated my negative opinions of Lewis, both times someone jumps to his defense.

I'm not jumping to his defense, just pointing out the simple fact that white players in the NFL don't seem to see the racism you claim to see. And they're on the field with the guy, not watching the game on a TV set or from the stands. Accusations of racism are thrown around far too often.

My predictions (forget points spreads):

Denver wins by 6.

Green Bay wins by 3.

Seattle wins big, 14 points minimum. RUSSELL WILSON POWER!!!

New England wins big, 14 points minimum.

If I had a son, I would post-name him RUSSELL WILSON, in all caps, yes.

Auh2orepublican, would you allow names in all caps?

[AuH2ORepublican]

Names with improper capitalization are another type of child abuse.

[GOPsterinMA]

You are witnessing GREATNESS!

Russell Wilson is a man among boys. Not just on the field, but more importantly in life....I wonder if he puts the seat or down though.

[Impy]

I heard Wilson beat Chuck Norris and Jack Bauer at arm wrestling, at the same time.

[GOPsterinMA]

I would give birth to RUSSELL WILSON’S mulatto babies.

Top that.
You can’t.
I win.

[Impy]

You are Michelangelo and I do finger painting. ;d

1/20 3:00 ET San Francisco -3 At Atlanta
1/20 6:30 ET At New England -8 Baltimore

think I will root for Pats vs. Falcons

[GOPsterinMA]

Interesting.

Did JJ Watt get his finger out of his ass yet? Garbage.

[GOPsterinMA]

Ticket broker on possible Super Bowl match-ups:
“Falcons-Patriots is toilet paper. 49ers-Ravens is gold.”

If my boys (SF) lose, I’ll root for Pats to win it all. If both SF and NE lose, I won’t care, much less watch. Although I really don’t want the murderer in BAL to get another ring, so I guess by default, ATL in that scenario.

1. SFO
2. NE
3. ATL
4. N/A

Marc Trestman, HC of Da Bears? Interesting pick. He was the OC of the 49ers years ago.

[campaignPete R-CT]

as a kid, I died with each tragic Patriots loss. In the late 70’s to 80’s.

But I long ago grew tired of this act with the Patriots. It is odd how many in New England don’t have much love for these teams because they are an organization that excels. Does winning really get old? But I will pull for them over those Balties.

[GOPsterinMA]

I grew up with Joe Montana and the 49ers setting the standard of NFL excellence.

I like the Pats...but the 49ers are first for me. I don't think winning gets old; the sheeple will cry when the Belichick/Brady tandem goes away and losing sets in. Remember how long it took the Celtics to become relevant again and win a championship once the Bird-McHale-Parish trio started to fall apart?

“But I will pull for them over those Balties.” Of course. I don't want the murdering racist to win another ring.

[Impy]

I’m with the ticket broker, I want to see the matchup we should have had last year, the Harbaugh Bowl.

I doubt the Bears will hire Trestman but I like how our GM has interveiwd EVERYONE

Now my power rankings of stuff from the 4 playoff games

1)KAEPERNICK’S LEGS
1)Bare legs of cheerleaders out in the cold (tie)
3)TRINDON FREAKING HOLLIDAY
4)Falcon’s first half
5)RUSSELL WILSON

6)Manning’s playoff record
7)Kaepernick’s arm tatoos
8)Falcon’s second half
9)John Kerry at Pat’s game
10)That ugly blond chick playing linebacker for Green Bay! Packer’s D should have worn PINK unis.
11)ICING THE KICKER, seriously I love when that nonsense blows up in the coaches face, bad coached game from Carrol, Russell Wilson should EAT HIS FACE and use his head to kick a field goal!

[Impy]

I was wrong, Trestman is one of 3 finalists called for second interviews along with Bruce Arians and Seattle OC Darrell Bevell. Russell Wilson will challenge Phil Emery to a duel if they take Bevell.

[campaignPete R-CT]

let’s hope the cubbies are improved .... Red Sox are improved ... Ryan Dempster ... but could easily go 77-85 and finish in last place.

[Impy]

So many new pitchers (still don’t like the Edwin Jackson contract), surely the Cubs will be better than the team that lost 101 games but the question is how much? The Cubs went from horrible to the winners of a weak division from 2006-2007 but I don’t expect them to be over .500 next year. I’d be happy if they avoided last place, the hapless ‘stros are gone to the AL.

Playoffs or bust for the White Sox, I think AJ Pierzynski will be missed.

I thought Toronto would compete last year, but nope. After the big trade with Miami they better this year. It seems like the AL East is a pickem, I like that.
