Cheapens the game and they look like fools.

Celebration has long been an issue - almost like a game within itself...trying to up the celebrations

I believe most here are NFL fans. I dont think rsot watches much college and is more of a NFL fan.

I am I believe the only one so far in the thread to like the college game much better then the NFL.

College games when certain teams play each other can be exciting every single Saturday while the NFL maybe one game a week can do that and then lets all wait until we see who makes the playoffs and then get excited.

College games if you watch like I do can be addicting.

When you see Ohio St vs Michigan, LSU v Florida in person the stadium itself is an amazing atmosphere.

Some of these bowl games are going to be something special.

I don't find it a big deal at all

The league is already called the No Fun League for a reason

I am more familiar with NFL, true - with few new friends I have met and with Sandy's postings, I am trying to get more involved in college football - it is fun to watch and I am following few teams...no where near as versed in it as Sandy is however

I grew up in a home full of rough and tough boys who were all great athletes and the entire family being sports nuts. Family full of all state football, basketball and or baseball players.

Also grew up in a college football town so have been a college football fan since I was a small kid.

shaddypro1 · #**337** 12-21-2013

Yeah same here, I grew up playing football in the park until high school, Ive always loved the sport. For college I went to a community college so there want a football team there, but always loving going to the games when I get a chance

rsot · #**338** 12-21-2013

My university football was kind of crapola - sadly.

Sandy D · #**339** 12-22-2013

Holy smokes I am undefeated in 3 bowl pickem contest......

Anyone here get in any bowl game contest?

Manning just trying to pad his stats as usual.

He cares more about stats than anything.

Sandy D · #**341** 12-23-2013

Seattle goes down again. Wow.

vogeltron · #**342** 12-23-2013

Cowboys survive a close one. Still think Romo will have a chance to win the game next Sunday and throw a big interception or make a bonehead play to cost them the playoffs again. Rumors are whole Cowboys coaching staff is fired if they lose.

On another side note. Eagles offense looked sharp again today. Didn't think that Chip Kelly's offense would translate to the NFL. But so far it has been decent and Nick Foles is quietly having an Pro Bowl caliber season.

rsot · #**343** 12-23-2013

Houston put up a good fight to the Broncos until crumbling in the 2nd half hah.

Chiefs lost...

Sandy D · #**344** 12-23-2013

Teams standing out are Broncos, Niners and Pats with teams falling down are Chiefs, Seahawks and Lions.

You do know he does not make all of his own calls right?

He does change the play at the line if he sees the defense in zone or something but the plays are developed and called from upstairs.

When no one can stop you what are you suppose to do stop playing?

He threw the ball 52 times last game despite the Broncos RBs averaging nearly 8 yards per run in the game. Any sane coach would keep running the ball accordingly. But he makes majority of the playcalls. He's selfish and this shows from the fact he threw the ball 5 times in a row within the 15 yard line (3 being within the 10) yesterday, and despite the big lead late, he was still throwing bombs down field trying to pad his stats. They were at jeopardy of almost losing the game at one point to the worst team in the league, because obviously that wasn't the proper game plan. And it's no surprise he beat the record - cause has something like 68 more passing attempts than Brady did in 2007 already. Yet still has another game to go. That's 2-3 games worth of extra passes. Even his attempt at being humble in the interview after was lame; already on his mind was that the worry that it would probably be broken again, blaming the league for potentially extending the season to 18 games.

I dont think he is a selfish person at all. He knows football better then any coach in the NFL and attacks defenses because they have no answer to his knowledge of defenses and players.

The man spends countless hours watching film and making notes.

I did not like him early in his career because I am a Marino fan who thought Dan was the best ever. Marino did things with never having talent around hm but I believe Manning is in the top as the best QB ever.

Brady, Moss and those 2007 Pats WR were far worse then these Broncos if I remember. They ran up scores and tossed 60 yard passes when they were up by 4 touchdowns.

The best QB ever cannot have 8 one and dones in the post season, along with a game-losing pick 6 in the SuperBowl.

That's just terrible. It's Romo-like.

Brady has enough individual stats alongside Manning in that area... so when you factor in something else arguably a little more important: winning (which is what it's all about) Brady has the clear edge and that should be the end of it all. Post season Ws, only QB to be 100+ games above .500, and trips to 5 SuperBowls while winning 3 and losing 1 off the luckiest play in sports history lol

rsot · #**349** 12-23-2013

49ers vs Falcons tonight - should be a good game

If by good game, you mean close, I hope so.

I win $50 as long as Falcons don't lose by more than 24!

Romo is out for the rest of the season. Maybe the best thing to ever happen to the Cowboys. They will be much better with Kyle Orton behind center.

I like Brady. He has been lucky enough to have players and coaches around him to help him look even better.

Smart and clutch he is good but if Manning were in NE for the last 10 years I can see them winning 5 of the 10 championships.

Manning took Indy to it and yes threw the interception but he did not really have much of a team around him to even get to it.

Everyone else must feel he has done well.

He should win his 5th MVP this season. Brady has 2.

Both are the best of their time and both are talked about being the best of all time.
