So one game defines a player?Quote:

Watch your language young mister....:D the only thing missing was Skip doing the finger waving.
This super bowl excites me about as much as the LSU-Alabama rematch. I told my wife that the day of the Super Bowl can be "date night" ... she still doesn't beleive me that I won't watch the game but I am going to prove her wrong.

the early line is Pats -3...the bookies know people who believe the hype will bet the Pats but people who are real football fans will bet the Giants to cover or beat the spread.
and yes, against the Giants, a lack of defense by the Pats will surely hurt them. I just hope the Wide receivers new to this experience on the Giants,stay composed..but theyve already been through hell and back this post season
So Brady is getting less effective? He threw for 5000 yards this year and beat some pretty good defenses late in the year and in the playoffs.
And yeah I'm sure the bookies set the line so people that really know football will win. Don't know if you know any bookies, but the couple I know don't like to lose money to anyone.
dude, you have to look at a larger picture.. I know full well he got alot of passing yards, so what? he's still a pro but that doesnt mean he's not declining. he's smarter but less physically gifted, thats just the way life naturally goes.Quote:

they set the line so Patriots band wagon jumpers who never bet before would bet in The Pats favor. I bet the majority of the bets by people right now are for the Giants to cover or beat the spread. Yes of course bookies are in it to profit, but they know full well that people who always bet or know football are counting on the Giants to win..they put the Patriots at - 3 to see how many people actually believe that or bite on it Before they swing the line the other way if they ever do.
I'm right there with you buddy. I hope to god the other networks and channels put something worth a damn on that night, otherwise it's going to be Xbox or raiding the DVD cabinet.Quote:

That settles it. Put your money on the Giants, folks. ;) :DQuote:

I'll add more of a breakdown in the SB thread.
Further proof that Jim Irsay is an idiot. He's having a contest on Twitter to give away Super Bowl tickets if you can guess who they hire as head coach :fp:
Rob Lowe will probably win the tickets. :fp:Quote:

Have you ever placed a wager with a Book in your life? You, obviously, have no fucking clue how it works. Do yourself a favor and Google "Juice", "Vig", or "Vigorish" before you pretend to know something about how a Book operates.Quote:

dude , I didnt say anything different from what you said at all. But they still have to put the line in the Pats favor first to see how many will bite because everyone knows the majority money will be on the Giants no matter what.Quote:

dude, you gotta work on your reading comprehension and manners LOL
I just gave it a personal touch LOL, you obviously have to see who will bite on the weaker side first.
and the bookies wont make money unless the Pats win LOL
LOL I dont care,the point is the Giants are the clear favorite and everyone knows it.
This is dumb.Quote:

Shouldn't that video be in the Penn State Football Thread? What the hell is that? A recruiting visit?

Todd Haley possibly to be hired as the Steeler OC. Steeler fans happy on that one? I think he's a good coach.
Not sure on this one, he's definitely not a head coach but has been successful in other roles.
From his Wikipedia page :sick:
Quote:
In 2006, Haley filed a 1.7 million-dollar lawsuit against McDonald's after his wife found a dead rat in her salad. The salad was purchased at a Southlake, Texas McDonald's restaurant while Haley was a member of the Dallas Cowboys coaching staff. His wife and their live-in babysitter began to eat before noticing the rat. The case was settled out of court for a confidential amount.[
:sick:
I'm willing to give anyone a fair shake :nod:, Go Steelers! In regards to what fans think of the hire.
And WOW how in the world did I miss these last two pages :D:D
Possibly is the key word at this point.Quote:

The good news is, in Pittsburgh, he wouldn't be in front of a microphone often. Obviously, his dad was a big part of the Steelers first 4 Super Bowls, and he has definitely earned his stripes, so who knows?
What I do know is that I have unyielding trust in the Rooneys to find the right man. Haley, or otherwise.

If he is hired, hopefully he and Ben can get on the same page quick.
Some :fp: news from the NFL today.
The NFL is looking at not using Roman numerals for Super Bowl 50 because 50 = L which is associated with losing.
Really? Really? Reeeeeeeeeeally?
:fp:

Seriously, most people would not have even thought of that if the NFL wouldn't have brought it up.
