Re: I never realized how long bender gender reassignment surgery... took to recover from...

Gadzooks, Big-- This all started with a slight case of... nausea when your Pattycheaters started to cheat in the second half of last year's Super Bowl--

When their trickery won, it took a health toll... upon my innards--

Yes, yes-- Thee was some... leakage, too--

I asked my old pard, Dr. Jack... what to do?

He suggested electroshock... therapy--

The Colorado Smoke... Diet--

And a strict regiment of the very popular Hollywood Vape... Remedial Treatment--

But all it did was give me head... congestion--

And I lost my right arm... writing out the checks to pay them medical bastards!

So, to get my health back I've returned to a proven... cure--

And it make me feel pretty damn good... too!

So, Big, until I am back to fit... and fiddle--

Keep those Pattycheaters of yours... on the straight and narrow!

And keep paying... the bar bill--

If Carson Wentz wasn't hurt, I'd call the Eagles-Falcons a draw since the Falcons have successful playoff experience. I too will have to go with playoff experience and the Falcons.

The Titans benefited greatly from Andy Reid's horrible game planning in the second half. Chiefs fans were warned by Eagles fans how terrible Andy was in the playoffs. He is 1-4 with the Chiefs in the post season and I believe most of those were come-from-behind wins by the opposing teams. As a Chiefs fan, Andy is a great regular season coach but I can see where Eagles fans complained about him in the playoffs. I'm at the point I hope he is not there next season. That being said, the Titans won't run in to terrible coaching like that with the Patriots, so I pick thePatriots in this one.

I guess it just depends on which Steelers team shows up in this one. They do have the playoff experience and are at home so I will have to go with the Steelers

Case Keenum??? He's played out of his mind this year but before that he was a fairly average QB. We'll have to see if he has continued success with the playoff pressure. Drew Brees has been here before, he has a pretty good running game and not a bad defense so I will have to go with the Saints

Hey, Impy. You are doing a yeoman’s job, my friend. Hang in there and don’t get discouraged.

For myself, I have enjoyed Bender and all of his shenanigans over the years, even though he likes that Blue Star ointment team.

I follow the thread now, even though I can no longer support the FNFL or the turds that have infiltrated it and turned it into something that Jethro Pugh, Don Meredith, Tom Landry, Vince Lombardi Donnie Anderson, Bart Starr and Jerry Kramer would not recognize.

I still enjoy the heart felt efforts of you.

Semper Fi! Do Or Die!

Carry on. With NO APOLOGIES.

Eagles Vs Falcons: Eagles win the battle of the birds
Patriots Vs Titans: Patriots squeak by the Titans
Steelers Vs Jaguars: Steelers win
Saints Vs Vikings: Vikings are the only road team to win one in this round.

Vikings are the home team with the second best record in the NFC at 13-3. Te Saints are the road team.

\Vikings defense is the best in the league, and will destroy Brees and his Cajun buddies.

These are not the old Vikings.

It’d be cool to have a first time champ, I’ll root for the Pats though.

This thread supports an anti-American organization, the NFL. It’s not just “some players” it’s the entire organization that chooses to showcase hatred of our country in its shows.

No amount of funny pictures can cover up the stink of a thread that supports hatred of America.

Quit. Stop posting this crap on FR.

Jags, Pete? Gunning for that Minority Report, I like it.

Welcome Red Badger, I made your picture, wait for it......a Red Badger, let me know if you want something else. ;d

Imp's Pickz

If Wentz was playing I'd pick PHI to get to the big game. He's not and I smell a top seed going down, Falcons

Pats, come on son.

I'd love for the stoolers to lay an egg, but I can't predict that.

The Vikings Cinderella season continues as least as far as the Conference Title game.
