Title: NFL Final Four
Post by: Admiral Yi on January 19, 2014, 03:44:16 PM
Brady has not looked very sharp so far, but I gotta figure the sun is playing a big part.

Surely it should be a fundamental of stadium design that you don't align it directly on the east west axis.

Without the cheating, the Patriots aren't very impressive.  I was sort of worried in the beginning, since it seemed like the NFL had given the refs orders not to flag the Patriots for pass interference, but things turned out alright.

While Seattle is certainly obnoxious, and a reflection of their just-as-obnoxious head coach, they deserve to avenge the wrongs visited upon them by NFL Properties in Super Bowl Ex El.

And once again, the MS-13 version of Mike Vick kept the Niners in the game until he cost them the game.

QuoteRichard Sherman tells a shocked Erin Andrews that Crabtree got what was coming to him. "That's why you don't open your mouth about the best." Then he ascends into the CenturyLink stands.

It's fitting that it all came down to Sherman, the league's best corner, probably its best defender, and maybe even staking a claim to be its best player. He's certainly the most entertaining. Sherman's play (and it was Sherman's play) was a remarkable feat of awareness and athleticism. His post-game antics had Seattle 12th Man roaring. The only thing left for him to do is shut down Skip Bayless...oh wait, he already has.

Posted: December 22, 1992

New York Jets defensive coordinator Pete Carroll got a little carried away after Miami's Pete Stoyanovich missed an extra point that allowed New York to stay ahead of the Dolphins late in Sunday's game.

After Stoyanovich atoned for the miss with a game-winning 37-yard field goal with seven seconds left, Carroll apologized for making the "choke" sign that was caught by television cameras.

Carroll apologized to Stoyanovich after the game and made a public apology yesterday on Miami and New York radio stations.

"Yeah, I did it. I regret that it happened," Carroll said after the Dolphins' 19-17 victory. "It wasn't fair to Stoyanovich at all. And you can write that."

Carroll said he was upset about the play that preceded Stoyanovich's miss, a 55-yard run with a screen pass for a touchdown by Miami's Tony Martin. He claimed a Miami lineman had gone downfield and picked the Jets' Erik McMillan, allowing Martin to get clear.

Miami coach Don Shula said he didn't see the choke gesture, but added that ''if he did do it, I'm glad it came back to haunt him."

That's the way the Seahawk secondary has played all year, and it is quite deliberate.  They know the refs won't call pass interference on every passing play, so they deliberately engage in pass interference every passing play.  It pays off; yeah, you lead the league in PI calls, but the other team can't pass.

Interesting find, how'd you happen on that, remember it randomly or posted somewhere else tonight?



I have absolutely nothing against either teams, I don't generally like the Broncos but like Peyton Manning after how he dealt with the Indy situation. I dont mind Seattle or the 12th man talk, though it is a bit excessive, but I'm not a big fan of Pete Carrol, he's come across as a pretty big douche. 


So it's a wash, until Sherman's classless act tonight, so guess I'm rooting for the Broncos but I'm not really invested either way, should be entertaining.    :yucky:

Without the cheating, the Patriots aren't very impressive.  I was sort of worried in the beginning, since it seemed like the NFL had given the refs orders not to flag the Patriots for pass interference, but things turned out alright.
Half the defense is on IR, their injuries just finally caught up with them. As soon as Talib went down we were done. Still, a very impressive season considering what they endured.

Roger Goodell: NFL will explore eliminating the extra point

Earlier this month, Belichick said he thought extra points were boring because of how automatic they've become and there's enough agreement with him that the league will explore dropping extra points this offseason.

That was the word from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, who told Rich Eisen of NFL Network that the league is examining proposals for abolishing the extra point  for pretty much the reason that Belichick cited. Goodell outlined one of the proposed changes.

"The extra point is almost automatic," Goodell said. "I believe we had five missed extra points this year out of 1,200 some odd (1,256-for-1,261, to be precise). So it's a very small fraction of the play, and you want to add excitement with every play. There's one proposal in particular that I've heard about. It's automatic that you get seven points when you score a touchdown, but you could potentially go for an eighth point, either by running or passing the ball, so if you fail, you go back to six."

That would certainly eliminate the boredom of an extra point try without fundamentally changing too much about the decision that coaches already make about when to try for a two-point conversion. There will certainly be some pushback to altering a play that's always been part of the game, but anything that would speed up the process of getting back to actual football is worth considering.




I kind of like it actually.   :hmm:

Hate hate hate!  I love the extra point it gives me a second thing to cheer about after the Redskins score.

Plus it supplies some of my points in fantasy football.  Besides extra points are not what is slowing up the game.  They run on and kick that thing almost immediately before people are even done celebrating the TD.  Where exactly is the boredom coming into play? 

If they really want to speed up the game cut out all the damn downtime not eliminate yet more plays.

I don't like it.  Even in a high-scoring game, ther are rarely more than ten extra points a game, and they happen very quickly.  If they really want to speed up downtime in the game, they'd centralize the review process in New York.  The NHL is stupid and they're ignorant, but they have the right way to do video review.  The worst downtime in games is video review downtime.

It really wouldn't.  They'd just go straight from the touchdown into commercials, rather than having an extra point.  In fact, if the NFL is looking to shave time, it's only to get more commercials in there.

As for eliminating the kickoffs, I suppose it makes sense.  It was the most exciting part of the game after all (before they got turned it into almost automatic touchbacks), and the NFL does stand for No Fun League.

What they need is less change from those formations.

Right now we have

Touchdown

Extra Point

Kick Off

1st Down.

What I'm hoping is that it goes to

Touchdown

There is no ad before extra points.  The extra point is kicked almost immediately after the TD.  There might be an exception if they call a time out to think about whether to go for two or something though or if the TD is being reviewed but cutting the extra point will not help that.

QuoteBrowns Hire Adorable Stray Kitten as New Head Coach
BrownsFinal

The Cleveland Browns finally filled their vacant head coach position today, deciding on "Brownie," a stray kitten that CEO Joe Banner found near the team's Berea facility this afternoon.

"I had been to Home Depot this morning in my truck and I got some day laborers for what I called a 'rebuilding' job out in Berea," said general manager Mike Lombardi. "Anyway, once they figured out that the job was to be the coaching staff of the Browns, they all jumped out of the truck. I was going about 75 mph. It's amazing they weren't all killed. Anyway, as I was coming back to the facility, empty-handed, I spotted this kitten in a storm drain. And here we are."

Team owner Jimmy Haslam says the kitten has the right mentality for the job.

"She, at least I think it's a she. Anyway, she was in a storm drain, down and out," said Haslam. "But she didn't give up and now she is the first kitten head coach of an NFL team. I think that can be an inspiration to our players. We've got to scratch and claw our way out, just like a hungry cat."

Banner said he doesn't know much about the kitten's football philosophy, but said he wouldn't be surprised if she runs the wildcat offense, to which the assembled press corps laughed.

"What's so funny?" said Banner. "This team is not a joke. We looked at a lot of candidates and Brownie here stood out from the rest. We don't want a coach who doesn't want to be here. And Brownie wants to be here. Good, Brownie," he added, petting the kitten. "Yes, we'll get you another bowl of milk. Please don't leave. Ouch! Don't bite, Brownie. No!"

"Mew, mew, meoooooow," said Brownie, struggling to leave the podium while being held in place by Banner and Haslam.

The Browns are not yet sure how Brownie will fill out her staff.

"We'll look for other strays with nowhere else to go," said Lombardi. "Maybe stop at the local SPCA, although I doubt they'd give us any kittens. I don't know. I think the hope for now is that Brownie has a bunch of kittens before next season starts."

Might as well use Madden for GM/coach.

Cant do worse. IIRC Madden never had a losing season as a pro coach.

The video game.  59.99

That's for the new version.   But Madden 25 turned down the job.  There was some interest from a slightly scratched, used version of Madden 10.

Looking for a Super Bowl ticket? Wait, the price is going down (http://www.nbcnews.com/business/looking-super-bowl-ticket-wait-price-going-down-2D12001358)

A cold weather stadium for the Super Bowl is the dumbest idea.  People don't want to freeze their nutsacks off at the end of January in fucking Jersey, they do that for a living;  they want to get away from it all and be in San Diego, Miami, Tampa or Arizona, enjoying a weeks' worth of fun in the sun, or failing that, at least being comfortable in a dome like New Orleans or ATL.

Besides, it's not like it's the fans that are traditionally able to go in massive numbers;  the majority of Super Bowl tickets are reserved for the NFL, the players, the teams' limited number of season ticket holders that win the right to buy them in a lottery, businesses with NFL relations, corporate execs and their clients, political friends and donors, a few prize winners and a variety of other useless shareholders that are more involved in everything else other than the game, and they'd all rather be doing it in San Diego this time of year.

http://sports.yahoo.com/news/guy-brooks-jones-among-7-001648820--nfl.html

QuoteNEW YORK (AP) -- Ray Guy is the first punter elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Joining the long-time Oakland Raider were two first-time eligible players, linebacker Derrick Brooks and offensive tackle Walter Jones.

The class of 2014 also included defensive end Michael Strahan, receiver Andre Reed, defensive back Aeneas Williams and defensive end Claude Humphrey, who like Guy was a senior selection.


The announcement was made Saturday night at NFL Honors, less than 24 hours before the Denver Broncos meet the Seattle Seahawks in the first Super Bowl in a non-domed stadium in a cold-weather city.

Among the finalists who didn't get in were two with ties to the Indianapolis Colts and current Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning - coach Tony Dungy and receiver Marvin Harrison.

Each of the incoming Hall of Famers walked to the stage and was announced individually. Strahan, who helped the Giants make two Super Bowls, got a huge cheer from the home crowd.

Induction will be on Aug. 1 in Canton, Ohio.

Guy turned the punting job into a defensive weapon after he became the first player at his position to be selected in the first round of the draft in 1973. He made ''hang time'' part of the football vernacular while playing all of his 207 games in 14 seasons with the Raiders.

The Southern Mississippi product averaged 42.4 yards, falling under the 40-yard bar only during the strike-shortened 1982 season. Only three of his 1,049 punts were blocked, and he set an NFL record with 619 in a row without a block. He had 209 punts downed inside the 20-yard line, including 77 in his final three seasons.

Brooks was the cornerstone of a Bucs defense that led the league in 2002 and '05, and the NFC five times. He was the AP Defensive Player of the Year when Tampa Bay won its only Super Bowl after the 2002 season.

The linebacker never missed a game in his 14 seasons and averaged a remarkable 146 tackles. Six of his 25 interceptions were returned for touchdowns, including a league-record three in '02. He holds Tampa Bay records for tackles in a game (23), defensive TDs in a season (four), career starts and games, and tackles (2,196).

Seattle certainly got a winner when it moved up to the No. 6 spot in the 1997 draft to take Jones. He immediately provided blindside protection for Warren Moon and quickly became the first Seahawks lineman to earn a Pro Bowl spot. He was one of the chief road graders who helped Shaun Alexander rush for 266 yards in a 2001 game - the fourth-highest total in NFL history - and then rush for a team-record 1,880 yards and 28 TDs in his MVP season in 2005.

Strahan set the NFL record for sacks in a single season, getting 22 1/2 in 2001. The one most people remember is the record-setter in the final game of the regular season, when Green Bay's Brett Favre seemed to lay down on a play late in the game.

While there is controversy about that play, the gap-toothed Strahan was one of the top two-way defensive ends. Younger teammates said he taught them how to work to become NFL players, and he walked away from the NFL after winning the Super Bowl in February 2008.

Reed came out of little Kutztown (Pa.) University and played his first 15 seasons with Buffalo, getting to four Super Bowls, but never winning one. His final season was with Washington. His 951 career receptions are third in league history, highlighted by nine consecutive seasons of 50-plus catches.

Long before people spoke about yards after the catch, Reed was doing it. He finished with 13,198 yards and 87 touchdowns.

A walk-on at Southern University, Williams was a shutdown cornerback in his 14 NFL seasons, the first 10 with the Cardinals and the last four with the Rams. He had 55 career interceptions, getting at least one in every season except his last. He had five or more in picks in six seasons, with nine being his best in 1994.

Williams shared the NFL record for longest fumble return with a 104-yarder for a touchdown against Washington in 2000, his last year with the Cardinals. He started at cornerback for the Rams in the 2001 Super Bowl and played safety in his final two seasons.

The Hall of Fame doors finally opened for Humphrey on his 28th year of eligibility and his fifth as a finalist. The durable six-time Pro Bowl pick had 122 career sacks in 14 seasons with the Falcons and Eagles, who acquired him after a brief retirement in the 1978 season. His 14 1/2 sacks in 1980 helped the Eagles reach the Super Bowl.

You knew Strahan was going to go in.  His numbers were too huge, and his media presence even bigger.  He doesn't quite seem like he belongs to me, but who knows.  Aeneas Williams also seems like a bit of a reach, but I guess he was probably one of the most dominant DBs in the years between Ronnie Lott and Ed Reed (who wasn't named Rod Woodson or Deion Sanders).  I remember liking him when I was just starting to watch a few NFL games now and then.

I figure if Sapp goes in, Brooks probably should too, although I don't know about first ballot.  DeBartolo must have slept with somebody's wife or something, because how a guy who built the dynasty 49ers doesn't go in is beyond me.  And I was surprised that they didn't put Dungy in right away.  Not unpleasantly surprised, but surprised.

Walter Jones started 180 games at left tackle in the NFL.  In those games the Seahawks attempted over 5000 pass attempts; Jones gave up 23 sacks and was called for holding 7 (or 9, I forget) times. 

I don't have a source, I head it on TV last night.

QuoteSports reporter Bonnie Bernstein suffered an injury at Boomer Esiason's Friars Club Roast last week when she was hit by a flying football.

One of the roast's sponsors, Redd's Apple Ale, had set up a dunk tank on a red carpet before the event with a babe inside.

Former Falcon running back Jamal Anderson tried his luck ā€” but his throw ricocheted off the target and hit Bernstein in the face.

"She had her hands over her face and was offered ice," a spy said. "It looked like it really hurt." Anderson apologized and said, "She'll be fine," as Bernstein walked away. But Bernstein told us, "I'm not OK," while reapplying makeup in another room. She then asked, "Where's the green room? I need to go to the green room!"

Considering the size of the schnoz she has now, I can only imagine what it looked like after that.  Probably got its own zip code.

The fact that the stadium has not suffered a power failure in order for Denver to get back into the game means two things:

1) the League Office and NFL Properties do not covet Peyton Manning's legacy as much as we thought they did, and
2) last year's blackout was specifically anti-Baltimore and anti-Ray Lewis.

I believe the evidence speaks for itself.

Meh...Wilson has the reputation, and ability...but he hasn't used it much at all in this game, or the NFC championship (Kaepernick was a running fool in that game).

I wish I was that clever.  I just meant you say a lot of dumb stuff. :(

Now, now.  Let's not start projecting.  An entire off-season of Pete Carroll, Super Bowl Champion Coach, can't last forever.  It'll just feel that way.

I am a big Seahawk/Wilson fan, but he doesn't deserve it for this game.  The entire defense does.  They got them here, and they definitely brought it to this game.

Splitting it amongst the defense would be difficult, and Harvin would be the safe pick.

Records broken, 55 TD passes and the 1st seed, all going down the drain.
Almost as bad as going 16-0, and losing it all in the end.  Almost.

L.U.L.Z.  Suck it, Elway.

I despise Pete Carroll with a passion, nothing more than a classless Belichick or Saban with personality, but Seattle deserves a ring after NFL Properties fucked them over wholesale just so "One For The Thumb" merchandise could be sold. 

So good for the long-suffering Seahawks fans.  Every kid that ever wore a Zorn, Largent or Warner jersey deserves to feel good tonight.

To assess the historical impact of this game on the legacies of the players....

In light of the new NFL and a hall of fame class with a punter and no offensive players:

For the Broncos

Dustin Colquitt had 2 punts for 60 yards, with neither returned. His first punt was very shaky. His second punt was quite good and fair caught at the 9. Not a disasterous day, but he clearly didn't step up on the biggest stage. His team needed a big spark and he didn't come through. This will not be well considered by Hall voters. Ray Guy won three Super Bowls, Colquitt couldn't even keep his team competitive.

For the Seahawks
J. Ryan had 1 punt for 45 yards, and a net of 36 yards. His team, supported by a solid punting effort, DOMINATED. The Broncos needed a return that got them a lot of points, but by kicking the ball high in the air, J. Ryan gave the returner no chance. Also the rules gave the Broncos no chance as they needed 35 points and you can't get that many on one play. J. Ryan used the rules to supplement awesome punting to win his first Super Bowl. This helped his Hall of Fame candidacy.

I'm tempted to write off your opinions as possibly influenced by senility, but katmai's people have an affinity for soccer. Ordinarily this would be a negative when assessing NFL players, but I think it makes katmai something of an authority on kicking in general. I may have to defer to his judgment on this.

Almost as bad as going 16-0, and losing it all in the end.  Almost.

L.U.L.Z.  Suck it, Elway.

I despise Pete Carroll with a passion, nothing more than a classless Belichick or Saban with personality, but Seattle deserves a ring after NFL Properties fucked them over wholesale just so "One For The Thumb" merchandise could be sold. 

So good for the long-suffering Seahawks fans.  Every kid that ever wore a Zorn, Largent or Warner jersey deserves to feel good tonight.
I had to root for Seattle to support a good friend of mine who rocked Moon, Mirer, and Kitna jerseys in school.  Hell, he has a Seahawks logo tat on his arm.  It was nice to see him enjoy a Super Bowl not pissed on by the refs and NFL Properties.  Now if only the Raiders could make a come back...

First of all, why would he?  Second of all, I played offensive/defensive lineman and unfortunately could never punt or kick farther than average.  For some reason in youth football and junior high they always just picked the tallest kid to kick.

It was a contest...between Denver's offense and Seattle's defense. Seattle proved conclusively that Manning's offense is not an unstoppable juggernaut. I found it a very exciting game...but I like watching good defense.

Troy Aikman against Steve Young?  Nope, Portland you can suck it.  Watch the Seachickens piss another game down their legs.

They deserved this Super Bowl, but they are a perennially bad team that fell into some good players for a change.  Once these guys start leaving to get paid they will go back to their typical 5-11 record with the 12th Idiot back at home doign more worthwhile things than rooting for one of the most irrelevant NFL franchises  around.

The 12th Man was out in force today. Wow, just wow.

Quote

SEATTLE (Reuters) - An estimated 700,000 Seattle Seahawks fans braved sub-freezing temperatures to celebrate the football team's first Super Bowl title at a parade that wound through the city's downtown on Wednesday.

The Seahawks trounced the usually high-scoring Denver Broncos, 43-8, on Sunday to win their first National Football League championship in franchise history.

It was a particularly sweet triumph for a city whose previous major professional men's sports team championship came a generation ago, when the SuperSonics captured the National Basketball Association's crown in 1979. That team left for Oklahoma City in 2008.

Kicking off before noon and running for about two hours, the parade was slowed by the larger-than-anticipated crowd - with some fans perched in trees and atop pillars - that transformed downtown Seattle into a sea of blue and green, the team's colors. Police estimated the crowd at 700,000 strong.

"I've never seen a community come together like this," said Tyler Olsen, 29, a Seattle-area high school math teacher who took the day off to watch the procession. "It's an overwhelming sense of joy."

Shortly after the parade commenced, the crowd burst into an ear-splitting roar as part of a statewide "moment of LOUDNESS" proclaimed a day earlier by Governor Jay Inslee.

In a nod to the team's fans, collectively known as the "12th Man" for their opponent-rattling rumbling during home games, the organized screaming occurred at 12:12 p.m.

As fans cheered them along the route, players and coaches danced and waved from slow-moving amphibious World War Two-era Duck vehicles normally used by tourists, with star running back Marshawn Lynch throwing his preferred candy, Skittles, into the crowd.

The procession culminated at CenturyLink Field - the Seahawks' home stadium - where the team has lost only once during the past two years, and where season-ticket holders were treated to a post-parade victory celebration.

With traffic snarled and public transportation backed up by those heading into the city, not everyone planning to attend the parade made it.

Patti Tinsley, 43, brought her two children, ages 5 and 7, to the light-rail train station in the Seattle suburb of SeaTac. But after waiting over an hour in a line that snaked around the block, she decided to return home - though her spirits remained high.

"This is historic," said Tinsley, decked out in Seahawks regalia. "It's something my kids will always remember."

MISSING SCHOOL

But with over 13,500 students absent from Seattle's public schools - at least 10,000 more than normal, a district spokeswoman said - it was clear that many others had not only made it to the parade but were treating the day as an unofficial holiday.

A day earlier, Seattle Public Schools Superintendent Jose Banda said it was up to individual principals whether students' absences would be excused.

It was a reversal from his position on Monday, when he said that students would not be excused in spite of a suggestion from Seahawks Head Coach Pete Carroll that they get the day off.

Carroll received a phone call on Tuesday from President Barack Obama, who commended the coach on the team's "decisive victory" and said he looked forward to greeting them at the White House in the coming months, according to a White House statement.

Wait...  What would you know about masculinity, you fucking faggot?

Meh.  Shooting civilians and then calling them 'terrorists' isn't manful work.

QuoteOK, let's slow down. Cleveland is not winning the Super Bowl next season. Cleveland is not putting together a winning season. Cleveland is not making the playoffs next year.

Well, when it comes to the latter two, probably not.

And that has to be the most exciting "probably not" a fan base has ever heard.

I found that disappointing, but I can understand Houston's position.  I'm just glad that, unlike Houston, he's going to a team whose fan base has patience for their quarterbacks.
