oh get over yourself, if you back a rapist that is on you.
eta - and you are up my *** anytime something is said re benny bo

She's not backing a rapist perse...She backs her TEAM.

It's her choice not to jump ship because they won't get rid of him.

The Steerlers are not all about Big Ben.

It's going to be a tough one, that's for sure.

It should be a good game!

I will be removing all breakables from the living room and giving our guests paper cups. Things get thrown in this house...It gets heated.

I didn't know what to think the first time DH flipped a recliner....Now it's just funny.(FYI...before ya'll judge, he has calmed down A LOT since we had kids. He realizes that he cannot go around flipping furniture and smashing remotes with little kids around)

His BFF will be here to watch the game. He is a DIEHARD Packers fan, so it.....will....be.....INTENSE!!!

I got a little lippy - sorry, but I guess from prior years of posting - esp on the ben thread it seemed as though it was about defending ben - that's what I had gathered anyway.

I'm not sure why he hit a nerve with me, just can't stand the guy - and for me that brings his team down as well....don't get me wrong, he's a great football player - just not a stand up guy.

and I was waiting for uaa to show up...thought maybe an unruly sec fan knocked you off your barstool down there! (since you always say they are the most horrible visitors)

I would be willing to bet every team has some sort of dark underbelly to it - we may not know about it in the media, just yet - !

my dh has never gotten too upset over football - but he played softball when we first met - I can recall him nearly getting into fights sometimes over calls....is it having kids or getting older that has mellowed him out?

Every team sure does have their own problems.

I can't stand Eli Manning(not a criminal)...But I still love the Giants.

It's the kids.

I wouldn't say he has "mellowed out"...I would say he is more aware of his surroundings and doesn't want anyone to get hurt.

He still throws things...He just does it outside now.

You should see it when he and his brothers and uncles get together. It's a mosh pit.

I don't know if he'll ever just.....RELAX....But at least he's not breaking things.(Now if he could JUST stop breaking PS3 paddles.)

Going to more football games. The rankings go for worst fans (most unruly)
1a. Colorado
1b. Virginia Tech
2. LSU
3. Auburn

You can look up college boards and those 4 are usually in the top. You are still completely biased, but hey I expect you to treat a criminal like me like the garbage I am. No one can change or get second chances in your book.

Ah yes the media conviction even though there isnt a court conviction.

I would bet dollar to donuts you also convicted the Blue Devils. No need to answer, we know you will deny it.

Gators Crime. There are numerous articles about the "storied" history of Gator Crime. But here is just one tidbit

Getting a bad rap on crime?

Just an outline of Urban Meyers reign

* Florida players have been charged with crimes in 24 cases during Meyer's four years as coach.

* There have been 21 arrests, with three more players issued citations and later booked on charges.

* Of the 24 cases in which players have been charged, nine of those charges were for felonies.

* Charges involving eight of the 24 cases either were dropped or not pursued.

* The arrest rate for Florida players is comparable to the rate for the entire student body.



In other articles players assaulted women at parties, over 200 tickets for parking that were ignored, and Drugs (usually pot), assaulting students.

Of course, there were 2 BCS championships in that time so all the above is okay. Apparently, the Gators 2 Championship Rings look like

At least Roethlisberger must have a new PR firm. He spent last week trying to ride on Tebow's coattails, proclaiming how sorry he felt for the younger quarterback and all the media attention he is getting and saying he knows what it's like to live with all that scrutiny (boo-hoo). Then, Big Ben brought up grandma, the toughest person he knows. Every politician knows that mentioning meema and papa is the quickest route to the people's hearts. How lame! Grandma's probably the only chick in the lower 48 who was strong enough to fight off Ben's advances.

I didn't see the interview. But I'm assuming Ben was referring to his second year in the league , the same as Tebow is now.
That is the year the steelers won Super Bowl 40 and Ben was only 24 years old. I don't know how old Tebow is, but I'm assuming around that age.

Ben is married now . I have my own thoughts on that. We haven't heard a thing about Him except for how he used to be before all the bad press.
Our players aren't crazy media stars here. They shop, eat at restaurants and their kids play in the park just like yours and mine. A group of friends and I actually seen Mrs R out shopping at the local mall one day with 2 other woman. The store clerk told us who she was. Guess she shops at Pottety Barn alot.

I'm done with all that , this is nuts. I remember a few threads a couple years ago. This is a playoff thread not a big Ben thread . Gees if u couple people have an agenda against Ben , start another thread.

I do really appreciate all the support. . Thank you!


I'm rooting for the other black and gold team. Go Saints!
Should be some great and exciting games this weekend. It will be interesting to see how Tebow does against the Pats.

halo that formed over Mile High Stadium yesterday after the first field goal.

It is thought to have been formed by the jetwash from the flyover, but it is fun to think there was divine intervention for the game (and I am not religious)

...pretty kewl...

gold team. Go Saints!

Me too. My DD30 lives in LaFayette LA and is a huge Saints fan. I defaulted to her team. Being black and gold had NOTHING to do with this decision.....

We went to Pitt for a weekend trip a few years ago and it was a beautiful city.
We have also had the pleasure of a weekend trip to New Orleans.

I like the Giants really by default since my true obsession is Peyton and obviously that is a non-story this season. Well, a very well-talked about non-season story for Peyton. The man gets no peace.

Anyway, who is up for SB predictions

My guess:

Packers vs New England

Packers win again.

Just so long as it isn't the freakin' Ravens I'll be happy no matter who wins!!!!

My Patriots vs. Saints and I have to stay with my boys.

This article in our local paper puts things in perspective in regards to the playoffs.

When compared to the death of a son, football is nothing.
