Jimmy Johnson made a good remark, that the Bears should go with McCown. I think he is correct. He thought it was a fairly clear choice.

Anyone?

Speaking of nature, one unforgettable experience I once had was walking in a park, it was twilight and an owl swooped down from a tree right in front of me and grabbed a squirrel, interesting experience.

Yes, I remember, as a kid, watching Cowboys games with my Dad, seeing Staubach, Dorsett, White, Walls, all of them play.

Good times.

Sources say the new additions to the Cowboys have developed their own aggressive defensive formation and play called the "0-11-0 Left-Right-Half-Front-That Way We Go"

The new Cowboys trying to triple-cover a Running Back. Since everyone else was busy the groundskeeper played RB

Re: Speaking of nature, one unforgettable experience I once had was walking in a park, it was twilight and an owl swooped down from a tree right in front of me and grabbed a squirrel, interesting experience.

Doing a lot of hunting in my younger years, I saw similar happenings numerous times by owls, hawks, etc. Had a 10 foot or so shark take a good sized Speckled Trout just as I got him to the boat offshore of Galveston.

But the unexpected thing that scared the bejesus out of me the most was once in Spring of 1967 when I was driving from Mexia, Texas, north to Corsicana and just as I came over a hill, lighting up a cigarette and looked up to find a B-52 flying nap of the earth coming directly at me at what looked to be 10 feet off the ground-- I damn near crapped my pants! I did have to pull off the road and calm down afterward.

I still occasionally dream about that.

Troy, do you think GeronL realizes... that if Larry, Moe or Curly score the game winning touchdown over the Iggles, he will never live it down?

No... he doesn't, Joe.

Jets are going to beat Miami. SD will have a chance to make the playoffs but it will be a schedule. KC will be playing to win. It just depends how hard. To stop a division rival from getting into the playoffs could be incentive.

Allegra's Texicans just lost, giving them the first pick in the draft... so Johnny Football may be headed to Houston.

From Yahoo Sports at http://sports.yahoo.com/news/nfl-playoff-picture-181248899.html

If the season ended now:

AFC first-round byes: (1) Broncos, (2) Patriots. NFC: (1) Seahawks, (2) Panthers

AFC wild card: (6) Dolphins at (3) Bengals; (5) Chiefs at (4) Colts

NFC wild card: (6) Saints at (3) Eagles; (5) 49ers at (4) Bears

With four playoff berths on the table, plus an additional two NFC division titles, Week 17 promises to be as exciting as any postseason weekend.

The two easy scenarios feature winner-take-all games for the NFC North and East titles. Aaron Rodgers and the Packers visit the Bears at 4:25 Eastern in a game that much of America won't see (especially in Saints, Cardinals, Seahawks and 49ers territory). Kyle Orton and the Cowboys welcome the Eagles in the 8:30 Eastern game, which you can watch here and on NBC.

The early games could decide the AFC wild card. The Dolphins or Ravens clinch if one wins and the other loses. If both win, the Chargers can send Miami to the playoffs with a win or Baltimore with a loss. And if both the Dolphins and Ravens lose, San Diego can send itself with a win or the Steelers or Ravens by losing.

In the NFC, the Panthers can clinch the South and a week off by winning at the Falcons early. If they falter, the Saints can win the division and a bye later. But the Saints clinch at least a wild card with a win (or a Cardinals loss). Arizona has to face a 49ers team still fighting for a first-round bye (and, if Carolina loses, a No. 1 seed).

And with that, the Schwartz era in Detroit draws to a close.

Prediction of the Year

Super Bowl XLVIII prediction: Atlanta Falcons-Houston Texans

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000235499/article/super-bowl-xlviii-prediction-atlanta-falconshouston-texans

Let’s see, a combined record of 6-26.....I’d say Adam was just a little bit off on that one.

I tell you what, the other AFC playoff teams are not happy about this development. The Chargers are a very dangerous team.

Yup, I agree, it is there for the taking. I really don’t have much faith in Chase Daniel but I guess we’ll see. Now if Kniles Davis has a big day, I’d say we might have a chance.

Good Luck.
