“Man, it’s weird disagreeing with Peter and not calling him a “douchebag.” I think he used some kind of Tibetan mind control on me as we sat in the hotel bar a few nights ago and talked football.
Oh, and if you haven’t read our interview with Peter King, here it is again. I’d like to thank him again for taking the time to talk. Remember, King blew off Tunison, (because, you know, Tunison is a schmuck and all) but said yes to me. Yet another reason to not insult Peter King. In fact, we will praise him. Yay PK!”

I love how the stampedeblue ref post trashed Pereria’s comments, then quotes the rulebook, then twists the rulebook to suit their own needs.
Fortunately, that was really the only arguable call in the entire game. Even posession from the onside kick wasn’t really disputed despite being under a pile of 15 guys (longest duration ball-recovery pileup I’ve ever seen).

Mannings still a HoFer but wow the Colts got exposed yesterday. In retrospect I have to admit I was dead wrong about them from listening to the hype and only using the AFC title game as reference since it was the only wire to wire colts game I saw all year. Hindsighr tells me what we shoulda known since November… the balance of power shifted this year, the first time since 98. The NFC had 4 better teams than the AFC Champ. That simple. I can’t believe I missed it, bit I’ll admit I was wrong.

That pretty much did it for me as well. I read a couple of postgame columns over there (never been to the site before, don’t know a thing about them) and thought, “Gee, they don’t seem so bad. Not as whiny as I expected”. Then they write a Simmons-sized analysis of perhaps the least important play in the fucking game (and they’re wrong about it, too).
This is Boston-style navel gazing at its worst: endless rehashing of minutiae that’s been long forgotten by everyone else, but assumes transcendent importance for whiny dickheads who just can’t let shit go.

Good call on NFC being the stronger conference this year. It took me past halfway thru the season to believe it, but I think it was true. Colts really didn’t have many tough matchups in regular season, including a weak division, plus two 9-7 playoff opponents. Finally met a juggernaut yesterday.

The call on the 2-pt conversion isn’t even disputable, the challenge got it exactly right. The part the Humps cited about having to maintain possession through the catch, even in the end zone, refers to when the ball is caught in the end zone and the receiver goes to the ground. Once he catches it, and has it in both hands while it’s stretched across the goal line, two points, bitches. If it’s never kicked out of his hands, he never loses it. Essentially, it’s like he’s touched down, not that he needed to be. It happened so fast that I can understand the ref on the field missing it even though he was right there, but the right call was made to reverse it and it’s not even close. That was an excellently officiated game (read: not many flags at all), and there’s absolutely no creedence to give to their horseshit whining.

You all are a class act.
It was a good game. Saints played better for most of it, probably deserved to win. That’s how it goes. And I can take some solace (not that I need much – good on the Saints and New Orleans) in the fact that the game more or less hinged on a hell of a gutsy call (props to Payton) that has an approximately 50% success rate.
However, anyone who thinks the Super Bowl proved the Saints were clearly a superior team and that, given ten games, the outcome would be, at most, 6-4 in advantage of one team or the other, can suck my balls.

You must have HATED when the Patriots lost to the Giants, because after all, given ten games the Pats might have won more. But you’re right. Next year we’ll skip the game and just use Super Bowl Sunday as a day to celebrate the team most people think would win a hypothetical 10-game series between the two teams.
All that game yesterday proved is that the Saints are the champions, and your team is not. And in fact, since your team lacked the sack to try to go undefeated, they won’t even be remembered as a good team. A few years down the road they’ll be “whoever the Saints beat that year.” You don’t get ten games. You get one. And your team, and your hero, shit the bed. Suck those balls.

@Wonderbread
That’s great, but NFL games aren’t best of 10, they’re single elimination. And really, if given a best of ten, I’d think Drew Brees would have put on as good or better performance as he did last night at least 8 times, which would have gone a long way.

@ everyone else – I KNOW the Super Bowl is single elimination. That’s the point and it fits the “any given Sunday” mentality of the NFL in general and I wouldn’t change it. My comment was directed at those individuals who seemed to take the game as an indication that the Saints were a truly superior team rather than the much more likely conclusion that the two teams were probably well-matched and the Saints simply played better, had more heart, got lucky, however the fuck you want to spin it based on your personal preferences.

As opposed to fans of a defeated team leaning on the crutch that their squad would have won decisively if they played more games? Oh no, that’s not annoying at all.

“game more or less hinged on a hell of a gutsy call (props to Payton) that has an approximately 50% success rate”
It’s only in the 50+% success rate if the receiving team is not expecting it, which was Payton’s motivation for doing it. He noticed that the up men in Indy’s cover team were lazy douchebags who were turning around and running as soon as the kicker approached the ball, so he rolled the dice on a pretty good bet and was lucky only in the sense that whatever trauma the Colts applied to Chris Reis’ groin area, he still held onto the ball he recovered.
As for your 10-game playoff proposal to determine the best team, I demand the Bills get a taste of that. After all, they whipped the Colts by 23 points a month ago. Let’s say the Colts begin down 0-1?

Isn’t throwing the ball to the OPPOSING team kind of the opposite of what you’re trying to achieve in a football game? And didn’t the opposing team’s player turn that interception into a touchdown? So not only did the quarterback fuck up, but his defense fucked up, as well. At a crucial point in the game.

@ Slash – “It was a good game. Saints played better for most of it, probably deserved to win.”
I never called the Colts the better team. I wouldn’t even argue with the contention that the Saints aren’t marginally better (namely because it would be a silly argument when I could just watch a football game… that my team lost… boo fucking hoo). I merely took umbrage with the current, visible in the comments, that the game somehow proved the Saints were gods of football and the Colts were lucky to share the field with them. And I only did that HERE because I get a kick out of trolling morons. Sadly (for my entertainment hopes at least), responders haven’t been idiotic, just generally lacking in reading comprehension.

It goes without saying that Polian’s bullying of the Rules Committee has already begun. And to think that the fat humps haven’t even begun whining about how Manning was “blocked in the back” on the INT return for a TD.

February 8th, 2010 at 12:23 pm
ghostsofsc, you just nailed it. The 2000’s Colts are the 1990’s Braves. Always competitive. Horrible, annoying, entitled fans. And their lone championship being utterly anticlimactic and more forgettable than all of the times they lost.
February 8th, 2010 at 12:23 pm
@289:
I love how the stampedeblue ref post trashed Pereria’s comments, then quotes the rulebook, then twists the rulebook to suit their own needs.
Fortunately, that was really the only arguable call in the entire game. Even posession from the onside kick wasn’t really disputed despite being under a pile of 15 guys (longest duration ball-recovery pileup I’ve ever seen).
February 8th, 2010 at 12:26 pm
Mannings still a HoFer but wow the Colts got exposed yesterday. In retrospect I have to admit I was dead wrong about them from listening to the hype and only using the AFC title game as reference since it was the only wire to wire colts game I saw all year. Hindsighr tells me what we shoulda known since November… the balance of power shifted this year, the first time since 98. The NFC had 4 better teams than the AFC Champ. That simple. I can’t believe I missed it, bit I’ll admit I was wrong.
February 8th, 2010 at 12:31 pm
I love how they’re whining about a 2point conversion when they lost by 14.
That pretty much did it for me as well. I read a couple of postgame columns over there (never been to the site before, don’t know a thing about them) and thought, “Gee, they don’t seem so bad. Not as whiny as I expected”. Then they write a Simmons-sized analysis of perhaps the least important play in the fucking game (and they’re wrong about it, too).
This is Boston-style navel gazing at its worst: endless rehashing of minutiae that’s been long forgotten by everyone else, but assumes transcendent importance for whiny dickheads who just can’t let shit go.

Colts Fans: Delusional Doucheknobs or Delusionalest Doucheknobs?
Let the Fat Humps bitch all they want. They lost, and throwing a tantrum about it is apparently all they can do over there. This will be 10x funnier when Caldwell turns into a modern-day Seifert or Switzer and runs a “dynasty” (or at least “Annoyingly Competitive Franchise”) into the ground.
February 8th, 2010 at 12:33 pm
@porky
Good call on NFC being the stronger conference this year. It took me past halfway thru the season to believe it, but I think it was true. Colts really didn’t have many tough matchups in regular season, including a weak division, plus two 9-7 playoff opponents. Finally met a juggernaut yesterday.

@twoeightnine: It says that if the player is going to the ground in the act of catching a pass, he must maintain control after he touches the ground. Not during, but after. In other words, he must keep the ball until he comes to rest.

February 8th, 2010 at 12:34 pm
GODDAMMIT DONALD!!!
February 8th, 2010 at 12:35 pm
The call on the 2-pt conversion isn’t even disputable, the challenge got it exactly right. The part the Humps cited about having to maintain possession through the catch, even in the end zone, refers to when the ball is caught in the end zone and the receiver goes to the ground. Once he catches it, and has it in both hands while it’s stretched across the goal line, two points, bitches. If it’s never kicked out of his hands, he never loses it. Essentially, it’s like he’s touched down, not that he needed to be. It happened so fast that I can understand the ref on the field missing it even though he was right there, but the right call was made to reverse it and it’s not even close. That was an excellently officiated game (read: not many flags at all), and there’s absolutely no creedence to give to their horseshit whining.
February 8th, 2010 at 12:35 pm
… and it’s good that the Saints beat the Vikes because (hate aside) Favre would have sucked in the Super Bowl due to his ankle. Thus the Colts would win in a blowout. Thus we’d now be stuck with all the sycophants labeling Manning “the best QB of all time”. Sorry, Pey-Pey… gotta wait another year to challenge Unitas and Montana.

Oh boo hoo Colts fans, you lost in the Super Bowl.

This is like having the smallest yacht, or the poorest billionaire. Be happy the Colts got as far as they did, honestly I don’t know how the Colts won as many as they did this year, they sucked, and no way Peyton was MVP, and I love the Colts, but I’m not deluding myself how great they are.

You all are a class act.
It was a good game. Saints played better for most of it, probably deserved to win. That’s how it goes. And I can take some solace (not that I need much – good on the Saints and New Orleans) in the fact that the game more or less hinged on a hell of a gutsy call (props to Payton) that has an approximately 50% success rate.
However, anyone who thinks the Super Bowl proved the Saints were clearly a superior team and that, given ten games, the outcome would be, at most, 6-4 in advantage of one team or the other, can suck my balls.

You must have HATED when the Patriots lost to the Giants, because after all, given ten games the Pats might have won more. But you’re right. Next year we’ll skip the game and just use Super Bowl Sunday as a day to celebrate the team most people think would win a hypothetical 10-game series between the two teams.
All that game yesterday proved is that the Saints are the champions, and your team is not. And in fact, since your team lacked the sack to try to go undefeated, they won’t even be remembered as a good team. A few years down the road they’ll be “whoever the Saints beat that year.” You don’t get ten games. You get one. And your team, and your hero, shit the bed. Suck those balls.

@Wonderbread
That’s great, but NFL games aren’t best of 10, they’re single elimination. And really, if given a best of ten, I’d think Drew Brees would have put on as good or better performance as he did last night at least 8 times, which would have gone a long way.
February 8th, 2010 at 3:51 pm
@ Slash – South Park parody
@ 85 – No, I got too much pleasure out of heckling the Bostonian I was watching it with. Anyway, I’d freely admit that the Pats would have won 8-9 out of 10 against the Giants, which leads me to…
@ everyone else – I KNOW the Super Bowl is single elimination. That’s the point and it fits the “any given Sunday” mentality of the NFL in general and I wouldn’t change it. My comment was directed at those individuals who seemed to take the game as an indication that the Saints were a truly superior team rather than the much more likely conclusion that the two teams were probably well-matched and the Saints simply played better, had more heart, got lucky, however the fuck you want to spin it based on your personal preferences.

February 8th, 2010 at 4:05 pm
@Wonderbread
As opposed to fans of a defeated team leaning on the crutch that their squad would have won decisively if they played more games? Oh no, that’s not annoying at all. Especially when the winning team had a better total offense, a better point differential and forced more takeaways than the losing team in the regular season.
February 8th, 2010 at 4:09 pm
That beaver from the commercial started playing his violin much more slowly when he read Wonderbread’s last two comments.
February 8th, 2010 at 4:50 pm
“game more or less hinged on a hell of a gutsy call (props to Payton) that has an approximately 50% success rate”
It’s only in the 50+% success rate if the receiving team is not expecting it, which was Payton’s motivation for doing it. He noticed that the up men in Indy’s cover team were lazy douchebags who were turning around and running as soon as the kicker approached the ball, so he rolled the dice on a pretty good bet and was lucky only in the sense that whatever trauma the Colts applied to Chris Reis’ groin area, he still held onto the ball he recovered.
As for your 10-game playoff proposal to determine the best team, I demand the Bills get a taste of that. After all, they whipped the Colts by 23 points a month ago. Let’s say the Colts begin down 0-1?
February 8th, 2010 at 5:30 pm
@ Desean – Not at all.
I’m happy for the Saints.
I’m glad my team – the team I’ve rooted for through good times and Jeff George – even got to the big game.
I’m confident that they’ll get a couple more chances to make there (whether they choke or not is another matter) for a few more years to come.
And while I bear no hatred for any other team or their fans, I’m going to enjoy coming back here and listening to whiners bitch about “Fat Humps” during those postseasons.
@ SoI – You sure you only want to be spotted one game? And do they all have to be played in a snowstorm?
February 8th, 2010 at 5:31 pm
RE Wonderbread:
Yeah, I agree with what everyone else says. Also, didn’t Manning throw an interception? Isn’t throwing the ball to the OPPOSING team kind of the opposite of what you’re trying to achieve in a football game? And didn’t the opposing team’s player turn that interception into a touchdown? So not only did the quarterback fuck up, but his defense fucked up, as well. At a crucial point in the game.
That doesn’t sound like the “better team” to me. Unless you mean the Colts team that didn’t lose the Super Bowl, from that alternate universe from “Fringe.”
February 8th, 2010 at 5:47 pm
@ Slash – “It was a good game. Saints played better for most of it, probably deserved to win.”
I never called the Colts the better team. I wouldn’t even argue with the contention that the Saints aren’t marginally better (namely because it would be a silly argument when I could just watch a football game… that my team lost… boo fucking hoo). I merely took umbrage with the current, visible in the comments, that the game somehow proved the Saints were gods of football and the Colts were lucky to share the field with them. And I only did that HERE because I get a kick out of trolling morons. Sadly (for my entertainment hopes at least), responders haven’t been idiotic, just generally lacking in reading comprehension.
February 8th, 2010 at 5:49 pm
Pey-Pey deserves his NFL MVP. What I saw from the Colts was a gutsy, determined game of smoke and mirrors. John Elway and Dan Reeves would be proud. And that’s a compliment. Manning 2010=Elway 1987. The Colts were not as good and the final score reflected that. Sorry Fumps.
