EPTThat said, I just overpaid like crazy for some NFC Championship tickets, but I'm gonna be there, and it will be amazing. I'm hoping for the best day of my life to come out of this. Hopefully the Bears will be hoisting the Halas trophy at the end of the game.

There is a reason why they gave the Heisman to newton and not Andrew Luck, and its not because he was the better quarterback this year, it's because he was the better college football player, and this is the last and only MVP award he will win in his professional career. In the NFL you need a solid quarterback, and by that i mean somebody who is a student of the game, and has the raw passing skills to succeed, and a unit to help him out. In college, you can get away with a average QB, as long as he's an athlete, and he has athletes around him. Vick, is the last option quarterback we will see with any sort of success in the NFL, and he is more valued now than he ever was because he realized in order to have success in the NFL you need to be a student of the game, and rely on your arm more than your legs. BTW, speaking of Andrew Luck, does anybody else think that sticking around Stanford another year (without Harbaugh) is a horrible idea? Maybe he's just trying to dodge Carolina's #1 pick. | ||

I'd be pissed too if I was a star receiver who got traded for a fifth round pick, but he says it was a smack in the face. What he did wasn't a smack in the face? The guy's a fucking idiot for getting suspended for drug use. Source Thoughts? I would like to point out one thing. Santonio Holmes would still be a Pittsburgh Steeler if 1 of 2 things happened. A) He didn't get busted for drug use and wasn't a complete tard about it B) Ben didn't get accused of raping a bitch. Trading Santonio was a punishment for Ben, he wasn't going anywhere, so they had to do something. The Rooney's are still trying to uphold "The Proper Franchise", building a team on draft, character, and power football.. Santonio definitely lacks character, and Ben is a much easier guy to turn around than Holmes was. EDIT: With that being said, Santonio being traded gave us the opportunity to resign Casey Hampton and Lamarr Woodley. 2 Staples of our 3-4.. I really don't think we could have replaced Big Snack at the NT position with anybody, draft or otherwise. Most underrated nose-tackle in the league. | ||

They're end zone seats, very near where I sat for the last game, and I loved them. I'm assuming most people in this thread have played Madden a few times, it's almost the same as the Madden view, except that I don't move with the action, obviously. Alternatively, it's like watching the film break downs. It's cool too, because the guy that I'm going with was like 1 step away from being a pro WR (he hurt his back), so he's calling shit before it happens on the field, and talking a bit more of the technical stuff WR's do, and about the way the safeties react, etc. Just to note, when I say one step away, he was ready for a tryout with the Bears, and then hurt his back. But he's 6'4", probably at the time around 225-230lbs. I'm not sure what his 40 time was, though. | ||

I think most people would get rid of Holmes over Ben. Ben is hard to replace. But it seems that Mike Wallace has done a pretty good job replacing Holmes. @ Lemons: That'd be nice to have.

They knew that they had a guy who could potentially a top-end WR in Wallace, and they had a problem on their hands with Holmes. To the second part, that's an unfortunate part of the game, people that know nothing about football. It's amazing how many season ticket holders still have no clue about what they've watched for 30+ years, too. "Ohhh, Knox is so good!" People who say that are so dumb. I mean, I'm not an "expert," or whatever, but I think I do pretty well in conversations about football. I guess some people just don't care about the game, they just like action. | ||

And dude, why aren't you a coach or something? You seem more knowledgeable about the game than anyone else I know. | ||

Both of these guys are FAST and can run reasonably well routes considering that they are rookies. Each of them has made a huge impact in the Steeler's season so far, with Sanders being a bit bigger of a factor in the regular season and Brown obviously with the big play in the divisional playoff game. If these two guys pan out to the lofty expectations that they have set for themselves very early in their careers, the Steeler's could have a very respectable group of young receivers. I don't know how much longer Hines Ward will play, but I don't really see him retiring next year, even if they win the Super Bowl. So, they also have the added bonus of working with one of this generations most successful players at their position. | ||

He's never been a real flashy guy, but I'd always want him on my team. He's the leader in most Steeler's receiving categories for his career, passing some pretty impressive dudes. | ||

Didn't he break a record by having at least one catch in like a million consecutive games? | ||

I'm gonna be honest... most of my "hate" (I use the word way too loosely, I don't really hate any of them, though I would like to see them stop playing forever, because of their W/L record vs my teams) is because of how skilled a player is. I don't like that they're not on a team I like. And to Ferrose's point about learning from Madden: Madden is an excellent way to introduce somebody to the game of football, and the strategy behind it. It's not nearly as complex as a real play (they showed some of McDouchebag's plays in NE, and every route was an option/read route, whatever you want to call it), but it certainly gives people an idea of the complexity of the game. You can learn quite a lot about a pre-snap read from Madden, imo. | ||
