can't wait to hear the explanation of why no flag was thrown after Bryant ran onto the field without his helmet... 3 blown non-calls on the same play.
Twitter's ablaze...
Congratulations, NFL. Your dream of Dallas and Jerry being in the Superbowl is proceeding as you desired it to.

They still eill not make it.

supposedly the officials were told to give the Cowboys all these breaks for ratings . . . dubious here of that, but then I think the Packers will do away with them this weekend anyways.
The Lions got the short end for sure.

Disgraceful. I can't even write about it.
Go Pack Go!
Wow.
The NFL got what they wanted... Romo vs. Rogers.
Wind-chills into the minus teens... It'll be a stone-handed, foible-ridden affair, with virtually nothing happening. Ballys is giving Dallas 6... with the over/under at 52.5, which is too high.

Agreed. The
smart money is walking-away from it. Especially since game-time temps are now forecasted to be 15-20 warmer...
Patriots beat the Ravens yesterday, 35-31. It was not a boring game. :laugh:
Seahawks beat the Panthers 31-17. That game never got interesting. :sleep:

The first half was close.
Green Bay beat Dallas 26-21
Indianapolis beat Denver 24-13
Just so you young people know. :lol:

LOL, the GB head coach finally won a challenge today against Dallas on a key call - that was just sooooooooo karmatic or something.
Meh, I'm biased, but I think either team would've had hell to pay facing the Seahawks next week, but I guess now it's going to be Green Bay facing the hell up here.
The *other* game next week - Colts at Pats, I'm leaning toward Indy but not sure enough to make a pick yet. Anybody else care to speculate?

Colts are a 20/1 right now. Their D is just too weak. NE is a toss-up with me. I can't see Seattle getting beat.

Yep, :thumbup:. To quote that lovable ol' Dem, Hubert Humphrey: " I'm pleased as punch... "
Now Dallas gets to squirm in consternation over a highly questionable call, the likes of which Detroit routinely has to endure...
It's too bad. Today was
Nike's launch of their Dez Bryant football-shoe campaign. Oops.
Off-hand, I'd venture it'll be the Pats over the Seahawks in the Superbowl.

20/1? Didn't realize the Colts were THAT much of an underdog.
But in the past, NE has rolled all over their defense, so I think the Pats will win tomorrow and so will Seattle.

Current odds, at 7:45
Pacific, for the Colts winning the Superbowl are 6.5-to-1. Not worth betting. It'll drop to 4-ish if they somehow beat the Pats, who're giving them six-and-a-half points tomorrow.
It's too late in the season to make any money in the
main categories unless you drop 5-figures... and you won't reap much anyway. 10-grand; to win your 10-grand back, plus 400-bucks, etc.
Seattle 100% to win super game.

Dallas will always be America's Team , Seattle will soon be the Pot Grower &Aircraft Worker Union Team
Dallas is America's Team because of a stroke of genius of some advertising exec. In reality the rest of the country hates Dallas, and has a group orgasm every time they lose!

Nah, some sportscaster gave Dallas that name decades ago, but the coach at the time, the late great Tom Landry, hated it because he thought it stirred up the other teams.
I dislike Dallas because I dislike that jerk Jerry Jones, who refuses to let his coaches....ummm.....coach.
