... even hard core 'Hawks fan Lady O Really felt sorry for the goat...er, kicker.

Awwww, first-graders send Blair Walsh letters of encouragement






"Leave it to a bunch of first-grade kids to remind us: It's just a game."

... KC (rare for me) > the cheatin' Pats (Vegas: -5), but wouldn't bet on it straight up....

Good thing. Good game, KC coulda done it. Any of you watch? Twice during the last KC drive I thought I saw the clock keep running after KC went out of bounds. Did you? Let me know if you see an article mentioning it, the TV announcers didn't.

The cheatin' Pats win. Go Broncos or Steelers.

I don't know about the clock running after an out of bounds, but I saw KC with some of the sorriest clock management ev-errr. But it's hard to beat luck like that last bounced catch.

I've got no problem with the Steelers, but Big Ben is banged up and they won't be at their best, so I'm hoping for a Manning/Brady match.

There was poor clock management, as the announcers said over and over, but I think on a couple of plays it was really KC thinking the clock was stopped because they'd just gone out of bounds. We'll see, if I'm correct it will be written about.

... Packers > AZ (Vegas: -7), but wouldn't bet on it straight up....

Good thing. In 2 games Vegas was only a total of 3 points away from the final scores.

Larry Fitzgerald killed it. Go Seahawks or Panthers!

11:38 1st -

... I want:
Seattle > Carolina (Vegas: -3),

Ut-oh.

but will then be rooting for Carolina if it wins....

Good thing.

Nice near comeback.

3 games, Vegas picked all 3 winners, missing the spreads now by a total of only 7 points.

Newton at one point couldn't get a play off and had to call a timeout, possibly because the play was late coming in. He stormed to the sideline clearly shouting "fucking" before Fox muted the nearest mike. Think of all the millions of poor traumatized children.

... Broncos (Vegas: -7) > Steelers, mostly because I'm sure it will happen....

Vegas 4 for 4, push in this game, only 7 points off in all 4 games is a little amazing. My wishes went 1 for 4, after 4 for 4 in the Wildcard round.

Go Broncos (+3), go Panthers (-3) all the way!

... But on third-and-10 he rolled right, rolled right, kept rolling ... and with so much ground in front of him he had to run. Manning got 12 yards, fell forward and took a hit, and had the first down.

... Manning hadn't had a run longer than 10 yards since 2010, back when he was with the Colts....

Broncos hit Brady more times than any quarterback has been hit all year (20 times)

Nice. The higher seed has won the last 6 games, now it's #1 vs. #1. Panthers will be heavily favored, -4 early. I'll root for Peyton to have a good final (?) game and a close score, not sure if I'll have a winner preference.

... Panthers will be heavily favored, -4 early....

Now up to 6. Bettors dis the Broncos more than the initial odds setters. I'd probably bet on the Panthers with any spread under 10.

Cam has fun playing football

They never would have caught Cam Newton.

funny stuff

I was never able to understand the media coverage of Cam at Auburn. He did get in trouble his freshman year at urban's Florida. Of course it was covered up at Florida and only came to light after Miss State coaches accused Auburn of buying Cam and they knew this how - because 2 MS coaches and a rich doner were in negotiations with Cam's dad. So strange that Urban and Mullins didn't say a word until after Cam committed.

Cam knew what he was doing and picked the best offensive line in the SEC for his one and only year in the SEC. He chose to ride a scooter to class and the millions to come later over a couple of hundred thousand to go to miss state. Auburn was also closest to his Mom.

He has always donated time and worked with kids. he came back to school and finished his degree b because he promised his Mom.

I never knew much about his childhood, except that he loved football. Someone sent me this video yesterday, interesting this 7 year old saying that he is going to be a superstar,
