Manning pout in full effect..Let's see who he tosses under the bus..

So much for being the league MVP
Sproles looked like the "man" tonight
They were better off without LT

What is Rivers doing being interviewed?
He was a chump ;)

Best part about this Chargers win? Watching egomaniac, prima donna LdT sulking because his team's winning without him, and then trying to force a smile when he realizes the TV camera's caught him pouting.

I was really rooting for the colts with their 9 game winning streak and all, can't believe all of the penalties in the 4th quarter :(. Now to see who wins tomorrow, dolphins or ravens.

isn't that too bad, the team has to play yet another week and they only beat the lowly Colts with that terrible QB ;)

I thought it was just me who saw that.

Every season (during the payoffs) he is on the sidelines pouting or whining. I'm tired of him. I think it started when The Pats came down and somehow "disrespected" him and the Chargers 3 or 4 years ago. Hw got mad at Billicheat and then had to play fro him at the Pro Bowl. :p

Nope..It's so obvious that it's hard to miss. And it's getting tiring considering that each year he's always mentioned among the top five players in the league. Instead of sitting on the bench like a pouting child in timeout,get off it and get along the sidelines.At least Merriman played cheerleader on the sidelines..Look like you're into the game for your teammates, and not looking like you lost your binky. And it had to chap his ass seeing Sproles dominate like that.Going forward,Rivers needs to settle down. Watching him roll out last night was like waiting for a train wreck. That deep pass wasn't working.The fade to Gates was like money.When you've got a horse of a TE like that,you've got to use him more...Now get ready for a week of "Will LdT play or not" :rolleyes:
 
I died early in the second quarter since it was after 2am by that stage so my pal and I stuck the game on record, woke up this morning, didn't check the RSS feed and watched it as live. :eek:

I have NEVER seen a first down that close on a measurement!!

No, that was a first down by a loose stitch on the end of the ball. Football's gone metric - it's now a game of millimetres!

I'm glad the Chargers won since not a Peyton fan. I know it's legal to snap the ball when the defense aren't ready but it does seem somewhat unsporting. It's one thing to do it when you realise a corner hasn't lined up on one of your receivers but when they're substituting, it seems a little cheap.

And I felt the football gods took their revenge when Peyton was the only guy who came out for the OT coin toss in his helmet as if they'd definitely win and go out on the field first.

Darren Sproles played a great game although if he goes back and listens to the commentary, he'll have a huge chip on his shoulder about his size since Madden rubbed it in so often. On the first down that he missed by a few inches on the final regulation drive, I was almost waiting for Madden to point out that if he'd been a few inches taller, it would have been OK. :p

Great game though and overall the Chargers deserved to win.

About as riveting as "will Brett Favre retire or not?"

he will probably play one more year and for his age, if his team goes better than 8-8, that's a good time to just fade away

he's a 3 time nfl mvp, only matched by peyton manning, and has a ton of records and can wind down and retire with respect

there isn't any need for drama from favre at this point, unless in the unlikely even his team goes all the way next year, then we will never hear the end of it...and then dallas will call troy aikman back into action so romo could go hang out with jessica ;)

ESPN's Mortensen reported today he thinks he is done

ok, give him to my 49ers or Raiders, we'll take him for a year

god, my teams really sucked this year (i had a low probability hope of the niners getting somewhere mid way through this year, only if everybody else fell apart simultaneously)

who are your picks for today?
 
Ah! Three picks for Pennington already. That's why the Jets kept Favre. He's the better of two evils. He only throws three picks in a game... Pennington has thrown three picks in 34 minutes.

On the flip side... the Ravens looked strong
Their defense can carry them a long way

+1..That will be a great game next weekend..

Edit:
SMITH EDGES SPARANO FOR COACH OF THE YEAR

As two other rookie coaches are battling in South Florida for a chance to advance to the divisional round of the playoffs, a first-year coach who was on the wrong side of a wild-card win has gotten a consolation prize.

Mike Smith has been named the Associated Press coach of the year.

By one vote.

Specifically, Smith received 23-1/2 votes and Sparano picked up 22-1/2. Presumably, this means that some wise ass sportswriter couldn’t make up his or her mind, and instead pulled a Solomon with the vote.

(Tennessee’s Jeff Fisher received three votes, and Bill Belichick of the Patriots got one. Shut out were Mike Tomlin of the Steelers, Tom Coughlin of the Giants, Tony Dungy of the Colts, John Harbaugh of the Ravens, John Fox of the Panthers, and Wade Phillips of the Cowboys. Just makin’ sure you’re paying attention.)

Last year, Belichick won the award with a unanimous vote of the 50 writers who have the exclusive say in the distribution of the NFL’s de facto “official” postseason prizes.

But as evidenced by the supposed mistake made by a multitasking Jay Paris of the North County Times in voting for Bengals linebacker Keith Rivers as defensive rookie of the year and the decision of someone to carve a vote in half, meaningful change is needed — or we should disavow the AP results as the “official” NFL postseason awards in the same way that the AP pulled itself out of the college football BCS formula.

For starters: (1) expand the pool of voters; and (2) have each voter name a first-place, second-place, and third-place selection.

With no 1/2-votes.

Ever.

And if a guy is too busy to take the matter sufficiently seriously to remove his head from his butt long enough to cast a meaningful vote, he should be stripped of his privileges.

How in the hell do you split a vote?If you can't decide,you shouldn't be allowed to vote in the first place..
 
Both coaches were deserving, but so were several others
There were a lot of great coaching jobs this year
Congrats to the Falcon's coach :)

The Vikings/Eagles game is pretty tight right now
It should go down to the wire
