    Brent Grimes has some uncanny ball skills. Very impressive
  • Ironman92
    Vinatieri is struggling with the narrowing. Dumb idea....why not put the offense and defense on the same scale of adjustment and have the first half played on a field 42 yards wide and 2nd half 64 yards wide.

    That's 3 passes the Dalton has thrown that I couldn't tell what team he was throwing to.

    I've not watched any of this, but why in the world is Andy Dalton the one that is trying to lead his team on a game winning drive?
  • lhslep134
    Andy Dalton. Sigh
  • Ironman92
    Good God....lol at Dalton, reminded me of Dan Uggla make 3 errors trying to play 2nd base in the ASG....had 28 points mid thru 3rd but Dalton couldn't get them a score with that format.

    Guess he got the boo birds last night? watched about 4-5 plays and saw him misfire a few times. Used to watch itmore but not really liking the format. WOuld usually watch to see how the steelers players did, and make sure they didnt get hurt, and then root for the AFC to win. Now......they took that rooting interest out of the equation

    Lynch's act is so old. I wish the NFL would fine him a million ever time.

    Or they could just stop making him go. But it needs to be one or the other, its pointless to make him go, if he's gonna give the same statement over and over. If he's gonna go, needs to be real answers, or its the same as a no show in my book.

    It will be interesting to see what the league does. Although he did go out and talk, going out for less than 5 minutes and repeating "I'm here so I won't get fined" isn't exactly making oneself available to the media. But it also is somewhat similar to Belichick's coach speak, but Belichick also doesn't spout the same line all the time, he evades in a more varied manner.
  • thavoice
    In 10 years when he is about broke he will wish he would have just did the interviews over the years and had that $$$.
    Yeah, I get it, he has a fear of speaking and such, but get over it man. It is a few minutes a week. It is a league obligation.

    Stop making him go would be bad for the league. Professional sport leagues are businesses; part of the business is marketing the product and getting exposure. It's part of their job to be available to the public. If you don't want to fulfill that part of the job then expect fines or get out of that business.

    Agreed. He doesnt have to be the best interview. He doesnt have to give a speech or presentation. It is just answering questions.

    They should definitely fine him. You get paid millions upon millions of dollars by your employer, you do the menial tasks that are asked of you. They aren't asking for the Gettysburg Address here, just go out, act like an adult and save yourself 100K.

    Lynch is just another reason that makes both of these teams very unlikable.

    First Super Bowl I can remember that I can't find a reason to root for either team.

    But it's okay for Belichick to answer "On to Cincinnati" however many consecutive times or for Popovich to give one word answers on national TV in the NBA Finals?


    You can't be mad at Lynch and then be OK with the other instances. Yet I suspect you, along with the others creating this quite hilarious uproar, are.

    Either team you want to root against more than the other?!?!?!

    Still going with NE. Almost always pick the AFC team to follow.
    I like Brady and the whole story of being a 6th round pick. That Brady six show is hilarious.

    The lynch situation is one where I honestly have no idea which side I'm on.

    I see both arguments.

    Instead of thinking more about it I'll just go watch the video of lynch ghost riding the whip.
  • Mulva
    I don't understand why the media keeps asking questions for 4 minutes.

    Agreed. On one hand i think Lynch is being a child at this point, and on the other hand the media pisses me off, so they can go fuck themselves.

    Well my meter went from disliking the seahawks more (after lynch's Q&A), to swinging back to the Pats.
