Obviously I have mixed feelings because of the way he crushed us and beat us down for so many years. LOL But seriously though, if he doesn't make the HoF on his first ballot I'll be totally shocked. An absolute living legend of the game.

I'm slightly disappointed. I thought he'd die on the field, mid tackle at like age 58.
 
Oh well. I imagine ome day he'll come back as a coach in ba;timore.

^^^^^^^

LOL

I've been there MoM,and Pittsburgh is just as bad as you perceive Baltimore to be.A dirty,depressed city with rampant unemployment and probably one of the most racist areas I have ever encountered in the US,and I spent a lot of time down south when I first joined the Army.

I am probably the only Panthers fan on the board and, althouhg they closed out the season pretty strong (5-1 of the last 6), I was disappointed again at the unfulfilled potential of the Newton/Smith/Williams combo to close the deal on enough games to win their division. I was hoping that what happened w/ RG3 and the Redskins (my other team) is what would happen when Cam Newton joined the Panthers...sadly, it has yet to happen. Maybe if Cam wasn't such a brat...

Pittsburgh is no more racist than any large urban area in America. It is not as dirty as it once was. It has wonderful museums and some really beautiful city parks. And let us not forget this......

The rule is named for Dan Rooney, the owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers and the chairman of the league's diversity committee, and indirectly the Rooney family in general, due to the Steelers' long history of giving African Americans opportunities to serve in team leadership roles.

The Rooneys are a class act.

Partly because RG3 is a lot better than Cam.

In conclusion the city as improve with the success of the Steelers! I hope it's not going down after this ordinary season.

Teams have keyed on Peterson all year because he us all the Vikings got.  He's responded by putting up one of the most amazing season a running back has ever had.  If I held Green Bay's D in any regard I might agree that them keying on him could mean something.
 
The Pack are still playing for somethin and I like Rogers more than Ponder(like by a factor or 50,000 times...)
The Pack will be throwing TDs left & right so the Viikings will have to play catch up.  Too much pressure on Ponder.
Look for a bad game from him, in that case the Viikings run game is rendered moot.  Plus the Pack dee will certainly be prepared for Peterson. Just how I see it.  Now, if the Viikings man up, including Ponder and they punk the Pack, then major props for them for forcing their way into the playoffs.
 
Ponder is an awful QB, can't argue that, but I don't think it'll matter that much.  I give the Vikings D a good bit more credit than the GB D and don't foresee Rogers going crazy on them.  I just feel that while the Packers have stumbled through the season the Vikings have been building to this roll they are on.  I kinda see this playing out like the Giants-Packers playoff game from last season.
[/QUOTE]


sorry for the delay....


Just like I said. AP will dominate and stop about 5 yards short of the record and Minn. will go to the playoffs!LOL

Congrats to you for picking the week 17 Viikings-Pack game correctly...

The first round picks:

Texans
Ravens

Packers
Redskins

I see you picked Seattle, fair enough. Just don't forget they won two games by hail Mary's & replacement ref blown calls.  They are a 9-7 team. Yes, RGII played poorly vs Pitt, but Wash has Garcon back and they are 9-1 with Garcon.

I honestly have wondered that exact sentiment. I can recall MoM saying a positive thing about Jamaal Charles, that is it. Literally the only non stiller player ever I recallLOL
And I thought I was a generally hatred filled cantankerous b*****d! He makes me look like a kid in a candy store with a million dollars.


Anywho, obviously rooting for the Seahawks over the skins, and all the underdogs: AP, erm I mean Minnesota, Cincy, and...well IDK who's actually favored in Indy over Baltimore, and though I like the Ravens the fan in me must be mad at their beatdown of us soo go Indy!

Bengals/Texans been a nice defensive game, love it!

Looks like Ponder has been declared ineligible, Joe Webb now has to lead the team.
Not sure how big a deal it is, the team is AP anyway, with ponder throwing dinkers/to the tight end. I think Webb can handle thatLOL

Pittsburgh actually is a very nice city, been there 3 times and it's fine. I was actually surprised at how "city like" it was and not abandon factories and blue collar rectangular guys walking around, as the stereotype is.
Which is why I never bought the "we are arrogant because the Stillers are all we have" excuse. The fans wanna live in the stereotype of their city from the 70sLOL  

They are indeed. Most teams hire people to fire them...and throw em out at the first sign of dirt. The best teams over history have been ones with a tendency to keep people/treat them well: The Steelers, Packers, Giants, and yes the Pats.


Well, Bengals played a great defensive game but momentum kept slowly rolling for the Texans. Their D woke up and played like we expected totally pwnd Andy and co.
Lets go Vikings!
