NFL LIVE THREAD - WEEK 3

Did anybody hear John Madden during the last minute of the Pats/Steelers game? He was screaming for Brady to take a knee, run out the clock and take it to overtime.

That would be devastating if the Titans had a prayer of making the playoffs this year to begin with.

One of the things I love about the internet is being able to read the local newspapers of the teams my teams beat.

[scott says]

Whats the Pittsburgh paper? I'll check it out later/tmrw...
I love espn on line, others are great as well.

Both New York football teams are going to lose today and that's going to make for some fun reading in the New York Post tomorrow!

I have to disagree. The G-Men have come back from an 18-point deficit to make it 20-21 at the half. Eli's getting much better.

Then again, they really have it in for Eli and you can't blame them for that. Actually, yes I can. San Diego was compensated for trading Eli with Philip Rivers and several draft picks. Plus, think about Drew Brees; he definitely benefited. San Diego went 12-4 last year; the Giants went 4-12. To be blunt, it would be Eli, not Philip, standing on the sideline had the trade not occurred.

Both teams benefited from the trade (with a more long term benefit for the Giants, rather than short term). It's a shame Chargers' fans can't grasp that.

very cool...it is great to have news so easily accessible, remember the old days? waiting for the newspaper being thrown from a speeding car into a rain puddle?....

[mainepatsfan]

I couldn't wait to see the New York papers after the Sox completed their comeback against the Yanks last year.

[somemoreequalthanothers]

They played like crap and it motivated them throughout the rest of the year.

Imagine how they'll look this year once they quit committing ten penalties per game.

I meant that I'm glad Pittsburgh lost a game like Dallas lost to them last year at Texas Stadium. I'm glad someone got them back for Dallas. I wasn't talking about the Pats/Steelers game. Sort of passing along a favor.

I needed a place to vent...so I guess this is the place. I have watched my last second of NFL football. Why can't these punk a$$ players just make a touch down? I was watching SD & NY when Manning threw an interception to SD. The SD guy had a clear run to the end zone, but had to take the time to taunt Manning on the way into the end zone. Pure unprofessional crap. The touch down got called back. Stupid punk.

...I am from SD...

[onyx]

It was not called back for the showboating.

[TankerKC]

I didn't say it was...karma got him.

[onyx]

A stupid ass rule got the TD called back according to the talkative announcers.

I hate showboating.

[BigSkyFreeper]

HAH! Cowboys won another buzzer-beater, in front of the "home away from home" crowd in SF!! FOTFLOL!!

[onyx]

Cowboys won? I have been at an auction all day.
