10K. I guess my comment was a little heated because of this--sorry
Nah.No need to apologize..Whenever somebody says the fix is in,it's a dead giveaway for "I lost a lot of cake on the game"...
Got a tip for us?

I really think that had more to do with an elite Giants defense and a "several missed tackles, thrown up for grabs, pinned against the helmet, how in the world did that happen" catch than it did the play of an elite NFL quarterback

The land of make believe was thinking that Manning could do it by himself. As pointed out earlier, the Colts ran their prize horse into the ground.
In football, it takes a team to win, which also includes good coaching and good management. I know you know this.
That means it takes a strong offense and a strong defense and it's hard to get to the Super Bowl severely lacking in either one. So many people on the internet were convinced, due to Peyton's big numbers in his whole career, that he was somehow guaranteed more than 30 points. I think I was the only one, or one of a very few that predicted Manning would get less than 30 points. But I also expected the Saints to get than 30 points also. I made this speculation of Indy getting less than 30 points based on how on fire the Saints D have been this year and in the postseason.
Few paid attention to how the Saints intimidated Favre, or maybe thought they wouldn't flub up another great quarterback (like an experienced Favre like legend, umm, maybe Peyton Manning) yet again. Well, in the Super Bowl the Saints defense delivered. Why would the Saints deliver against Favre and then fail to deliver against Manning?
While it's a simplistic generalization that John Madden often repeats, it usually true that good defense always beats good offense.
Veteran RB's released
The Chargers released LT and the Eagles released Westbrook. I'm not surprised about LT with all the attention that was getting in the press, but the Westbrook move is surprising with all of the McNabb rumors going around. I guess they think McCoy is ready to handle the full time load after seeing him perform last year.

^^^ I just read about the Jones thing today and I've got to admit I'm kinda shocked. With a run heavy offense, this could come back to bite the Jets.
Thomas Jones was nowhere to be found in the playoffs. Shone Greene has emerged as a very capable back. If Leon Washington returns healthy, it could be very dangerous.
That's why I don't like the move. IF Washington returns healthy. Broken fibulas are serious. Not to mention he led the league on rushing 2 years ago and was #3 last season.
I guess I just see this as, "why mess with a good thing"? It worked very well last year and I don't think anyone available right now will give them what Jones could in the same general price range.
Well we already know the outcome... "Bengals clench division, win superbowl!"
So are Trent Dilfer, Jeff Hostetler, Mark Rypien and Brad Johnson

Don't forget to add Payton to that list. He has won one...And I think he was the MVP of that game... off to google.
Are you familiar with "Aerosmith"? Then you have probably heard the song "Dream On"!!!!
