So... who do the Patriots beat in the Super Bowl?


They won't beat the 49ers.

Also, at this point, I'm hoping the Steelers miss out on the playoffs. They're just too banged up to make a deep run, and we could use a better draft pick.

So, I'm fucked in both my leagues.

Dudes I'm thinking of keeping next year...
Russell Wilson ... dirt cheap
Marshawn Lynch ... cheap
Michael Crabtree ... cheap

Welker (maybe ... trade bait, though ... inconsistent in the fantasy postseason the past few years)
OR
Ray Rice (outside chance ... expensive trade bait ... I'm done with the Ravens offense for a bit ... unless JOE FUCKING FLACCO isn't the starting QB)

Well, I lost. It's a keeper league, so we'll see what next year brings.

Redskins just need to beat the Eagles and the Cowboys, and WE HOST A FUCKING PLAYOFF GAME! First time since I can't remember.

The only question then is: Go to the game? Or sell the tickets?

Yeah, I'm 60 (go) /40 (no go)... it would be the first playoff ever that I've gone too, and I bet it would be a ton of fun. But it's also 5 hours away each direction, and I bet the tix would get $400 each.

I guess I shouldn't think too much about it until 2 weeks from now :)

I'd normally say sell, but when's the next time the Redskins are going to be in the postseason with anything resembling a chance.

My brother and I split 4 seats. Our compromise: If there's a game, we go to the game, and sell the other 2 tickets.

Sanchez: 13/28 for 131, 1 TD, 4 INT, plus a fumble. How fucking bad does he have to play before you pull him?

He hits their salary cap for $17 million next year whether he's on or off the team.

Expect them to continue starting him praying that he turns a corner and starts playing well.

Meanwhile, they traded for Tebow, didn't use him, didn't trade him away when there were teams asking, and they'll lose him for nothing in the offseason to Jacksonville.

The people running that team are clueless buffoons.

Run the team into the ground, get a new coach, and some better draft picks, maybe wait for the next RG3 / Andrew Luck

If he costs you just as much not being there, then fucking toss him and open up a space for someone else with potential.

Not a fucking chance. Have you seen him this season? Goddamn, even Tebow usually gives you at least one decent quarter for every three he sucks. Sanchez is sucking every quarter, every game. He isn't turning shit, he's never going to win. I'd rather have Archie Manning at QB. Troy Aikman is currently a better QB than Sanchez. Brett Favre is currently a better QB than Sanchez.

and they'll lose him for nothing in the offseason to Jacksonville

Speaking of teams that are fucked.

Oooo, maybe they'll trade for Cousins and we'll get some draft picks back :)

Guns were totally Jovan Belcher's only problem. Except the chick he was fucking behind his baby mama's back and temper control issues around her.

The Jets have announced McElroy as the starter. I can only assume they traded and drew up a contract for Tebow on a drunken bet.

Big Ben: sorry for saying my coaches suck. Even though getting beat by Dallas last week means that, yes, their play calling sucks.

Haley improved the run game, but I've been quite unimpressed with his approach to the passing game.

Meanwhile, Bruce Arians has made Andrew Luck into a pro bowler.

If Pittsburgh had a RB somewhere, that'd be awesome.
