Nah, since they were exposed as cheats - the Pats are 0-2 in the big game. All three of their cheat aided wins were by 3 points. Safe to say without cheating, Brady would be more Tarkenton in the big game and less Montana.

I vote none of the above.

Matt Ryan is a bigger choker than Tony Romo. And that is a fact. There is NO way the Falcons get to the big game, let alone win it...

The Ravens? Hahaha. Most overrated team I. The AFC.

Correct answer is the Niners v the Pats.

/thread.

Utter nonsense. I predicted exactly what would happen in two of the three fights. The fact that you had your fan nation friends vote with you aside - I kicked your ass like Rory kicked BJ's ass.

I mean, people who voted for you who believed your nonsense about BJ being the better fighter? Um, your argument was weak. Just like your argument for Diaz.

The ONLY reason you won, is because you have some friends who get together and vote for you. Saying I didn't prove my argument when I called what would happen is laughable.

You and your buddies are the reason fan nation is dead.

Wow - as I predicted - I won two of the three we were different on. And none of the three fights were close. Save the nonsense about Diaz going for some subs, he was totally outclassed by Benson. As was BJ Penn.

That's the problem with Fan Nation. Either you get your friends to vote for you - or these people have no clue. Oh, I've heard of BJ Penn, so I'll vote left.

As I said, I called two of the three. Easily. So to the six voters - I ask you to go and learn about MMA.

Thank you.

Josh Beckett helped the Sox win a World Series. As did Mike Lowell. So while the Sox gave up the best prospect in the deal, they didn't get fleeced. Your hatred of Beckett clouds your objectivity.

Glenn Hall over Trottier. Sorry, you whiffed on that one...

So you and I can have a TD then. I'll say Dan Marino was better than Dilfer. Of course, since they play to win a Superbowl, and Dilfer won one and Marino didn't, by your own words, since that's why they play the game, Dilfer MUST be better.

I'll be waiting for you to put your balls where your mouth is - and start this TD...

(didn't think so)

Chump.

Look, you're in a league with idiots. Turner was a top 15 pick and while three or four picks might not SEEM like a steal, it is to those who know the game. Ditto SJax who went three to four picks too low. So kudos to having a great record in a mediocre league. You wouldn't get AP and Turner in the league I play in. Players in my league know what they are doing. But you keep tooting your own horn....

Beep. Beep.

Quick when was the last time the Pats won the Superbowl? SEVEN years ago. As in the past. Yeah, gawdy stats are great, but Brady is 5-5 in his last 10 playoff games.

The correct answer...

Packers (defending champion - even better this year simply by getting injured players back and they have a nice history too)

Saints - again - nice present - and past with the title, and as long as Brees is healthy, you're saying they have a shot

Atlanta - won more games than anyone in the NFC last year, YOUNG at the skill positions

Philly - haven't done anything as of yet. Walk the walk before you start bragging about being a dream team

Pats



Rapists from Pitt

Also, you don't know much about basketball. IF there is a hard cap, the Heat are in a world of hurt. If last year taught us ANYTHING, it's that you can't win with three players. And really, it taught us that you can't win if LBJ is your go-to guy in crunch time. The Thunder have a big two of their own (Bosh is good, but not a great player) and more flexibility. They are a team with a bright present AND future.

Ben didn't turn the franchise around. Pitt was a very good team for most of the 12 years before the Rapist got to town and started to do his thing. Saying he turned it around makes it sound like the team was in a Detroit Lions-like spin. They weren't. Yes, they hada losing season before Ben got there, and three in the 12 years before he came along. They also had 7 years with double digit wins. (and looking at one year can have problems - a key injury - or some bad luck).

Also, as bad as the Colts looked without Peyton, at least they have an excuse. Pitt looked HORRIBLE against the Ravens - and with their defense getting older by the minute, Pitt's window may indeed be closed. Sorry. Team of the past - sure. Present? Um did you see last week? Future? Who knows...

This whole thing about Pedroia beinga MUCH better fielder than Cano is absurd. I know, Red Sox fans probably invented dWAR to prove they had the best players in baseball (just like a member of the Red Sox BOD was in charge of the Mitchell Report, and he missed two of the biggest cheaters in all of baseball who just happened to play on his own team ... what a shock).

Look, Pedroia looks great at 2B. But the fact is, Cano gets to more balls than Pedey does. Yes, Cano is going to finish with more errors - probably about 7 more in total. And Cano is going to get to about 60-65 more balls this season than Dustin is. So yeah, Pedey has an edge fielding - but it isn't nearly as big as Sox homers would have you believe...

GSP / Silva isn't going to happen. EVER. GSP is far too concerned with his legacy to move up to 185 and challenge Silva, or himself for that matter. Perhaps if Matt Serra hadn't shocked the world, and put just a hint of doubt into GSP's brain which is still there today- GSP would take this fight. Or maybe GSP is fine with dominating at his natural weight. Which is fine. Whatever the case, this one won't happen (what, Dana White LIED? Nah...).
Brock v. Fedor? Um, no thank you.
Cain v. Ubereem? Fight has legs, but after watching Overrated barely beat Werdum on his feet, it's lost some lustre. IF Overeem wins the GP - which isn't a given - perhaps.

A better card...

Main Event
Anderson Silva v. Chael Sonnen - face it - Sonnen is a **** that everyone loves to hate, he promotes the hell out of a fight, and he beat Silva for 23 minutes last time out. So you have a kick ass fight, and fans wanting to tune in. Win-win.

Co-Main Event
Velasquez v. JDS - apologies to Overeem apologists, but the two top HW in MMA right now are Cain and JDS. K1 isn't MMA, and Overeem didn't exactly destroy Werdum the last time out. Look at Carwin after he fought JDS and Werdum after he fought the supposed best striker in MMA. Um, which guy would YOU rather be??

Also on the card

Gilbert Melendez v. Frankie Edgar - while Maynard/Edgar II was great, if you saw the first fight those guys had, you'd realize there is a chance the third fight will be a snoozefest. Melendez v. Edgar has NO chance for Zzzzz. At least not for the audience.

Jon Jones v. Rashad - look, Jones is going to murder Rashad. Which is fine. This will still sell a lot of PPVs.

Brian Stann v. Mike Bisping - can we please end the Mike Bisping era before it begins??

Brock v. Roy Nelson - a closer fight than most people realize. And Brock being on the card makes sure we have 1,000,000 buys.

Right is disqualified. Jones has ONE impressive win, and that was over Rua who was coming off a knee surgery. Um, the last time Rua was coming off a knee surgery, he lost to Forrest Griffin - so touting Jones' win over Rua is ... laughable. Jones has a bright future - and he's a great fighter, but he hasn't beaten anyone (other than Bader, and it took him longer to beat Bader than Tito needed for the record...).

Jones may earn the title. But giving it to him now, when he hasn't even defended his title, and when he jerked Rashad around - I'm going to have surgery - and then he changed his mind AFTER Evans agreed to fight Phil Davis - well, Silva would never do that.

And while I hate GSP, he's the only other fighter in the mix (besides Silva) for current PFP champion. Period.

Typical homer response. Flacco is younger, and has upside. Campbell ... doesn't.

Oh yeah, and just for fun, Flacco has better career numbers in the following categories than Campbell ... Completion % (62 to 60.8 and Flacco is trending UP, Campbell regressed last year), TD %, Adjusted Yards per pass attempt, Rating (again, Flacco is trending UP, Campbell not so much).
Campbell wins in Interception percentage by a whopping .1% and in sack percenatage by a whopping .4%.

So Flacco completes more passes for more yards per pass, gets more TD's per 100 throws, has a higher rating and you'd rather have Campbell. I hope you replace Al Davis so that the Raiders suck for another 25 years.

And save the playoff game comparisons. Sample size is too small. Unless you think Brett Favre was a MUCH better QB than Dan Marino. You know, because Favre's playoff numbers are better than Dan's pretty much across the board...

I love these trades where a homer fan simply thinks that another team will give them $20 for two $1 bills.

The Sixers trade is laughable. Artest is DONE. Finished. Kaput. AND he's a headcase. And to throw in Walton who would be bought out and two LATE first rounders for Iggy. Give your head a shake man...

(and for the record, your Gasol/Bynum for Howard trade wouldn't work based on the finances - as someone has already pointed out. If you're going to start a TD- at least do a LITTLE work on it to make sure that the trades are possible from a salary cap point of view.

Hey Eastbound, I'll challenge you to a TD right now. You've stated Shields it the most boring fighter in MMA. Back it up fella. Or get off that truck.

I look forward the argument. You can put the challenge down whenever you have a moment...

I agree. There's really no way that GSP finishes Shields (sorry, you can't finish Hardy, Alves, Fitch, Kos etc - then you aren't finishing a guy that has't been stopped since his third professional fight ... in 2000). GSP is going to stop Shields with his superior standup? Hmmm, Shields took Hendo's BEST shot, and while it rocked him, he had the ability to continue fighting. AND he rebounded to win the next four rounds.

I think Shields has an excellent shot to get this fight to the ground at some point, and when he does, his superior JJ is going to take over (waiting for the GSP nuthuggers to tell me that GSP is superior at JJ)...

You clearly are basing your entire argument on Shields fight with Kampmann (which by the way could have gone either way - to say Kampmann definitely won that fight is laughable).

In his last ten fights, Shields has FINISHED 7 of his 10 opponents, AND he dominated Henderson for four rounds in that fight. Boring? Not to people who appreciate true MMA.

Look, I applaud how the Jackson camp always seems to have their fighters prepared (other than GSP / Serra I anyway) - but this isn't the first time that Greg Jackson has shown he has absolutely NO loyalty. I believe Diego Sanchez was one of the first members in Jackson's camp, and was essentially pushed out so they could bring in some fighter from Canada by the name of GSP...

Jackson is a front runner and he'll push Jones to the side when someone better comes along (and yet, it WILL happen)

Hmm - so you don't even wait to see the final arguments? I hope you put more thought into your vote when it REALLY matters...
