Or some shit like that. Gimme your guesses, and the winner gets a dream date, with kneepads, with Paul Williams. And a baby’s arm holding an apple. 2nd place is a weekend at Dennis’s. 3rd place is a week there.
I know there aren’t too many different options here, but hey, this looks like a great set of games for once. And, I tell ya one thing, it sure is a hell of a lot more fun having the Niners actually involved in the playoffs than watching them for strictly betting purposes. With a bye no less . . .
If you want to read my detailed breakdown of how I think the playoffs go (sure you do), just click the previous thread. I’ve gotten 3 predictions so far. Here’s the schedule of games:
Saturday, Jan. 7th
6.Bengals (9-7) vs. 3.Texans (10-6), 1:30 pm NBC
6.Lions (10-6) vs. 3.Saints (13-3), 5:00 pm NBC
Sunday, Jan. 8th
5.Falcons (10-6) vs. 4.Giants (9-7), 10:00 am FOX
5.Steelers (12-4) vs. 4.Broncos (8-8), 1:30 pm CBS
All times are Pacific Standard times. I have no idea when these games start in the Philippines.
Forty Niners Forever 
Earlier he got a lot of credit for not turning the ball over. So actually his recent INTs may represent improvement in that he’s throwing the ball within 5 feet of *somebody*…
At least he hasn’t hit any of the referees yet.
That’s the fear of how they could win this game- a deflection off a ref -anybody else notice the little horns under the line judge’s cap?
If Tebow played baseball, he’d make a perfect “Nuke” LaLoosh in “Bull Durham.”
His passes are just a bit outside…look out mascot!
The real Nuke, Dalkowski, once hit a spectator who was waiting for a hot dog in the stands. Don’t know if that was in the film… T-Blow is a candidate for that kind of ignominy.
GREAT pass by Tebow. That was money. Go watch “Swingers.” Vince Vaughn will tell ya how money you are…
I suppose Tebow’s rating is now 127.4.
That previous pass by Tebow was GREAT. That TD pass he just threw was God-like.
Should be no surprise.
Go Jesus!
Those were two good throws. It proves that, uh, he can throw 2 good passes,,
This is classic Tebow– look like shit and then fire off a fantastic throw (the td pass was fantastic, the other one was ugly looking and he had like 10 seconds to decide what to do). His throwing motion is so bad. I’d like to see him run more today
WTF happened to Isaac Redman? The Steelers are down to their 3rd string RB.
Nah, God didn’t have a hand in that…or did he?
Got to give Denver’s O line credit. Tebow’s has 6+ seconds on some of these passes.
God just took away 52 yards.
Now JC gives Tebow and his Broncos the review reversal.
I don’t want do make this a religious thread, but there’s NO denying, that someone, may he or she be upstairs, downstairs or not on any stairs at all. But somebody likes that guy.
And that somebody gives Tebow Blessing… It’s OK to admit it, I’m jealous and so are you.
No. Its idiotic to think God is *guiding* him or whatever. Religion is a bunch of phony balony jibber jabber. just my opinion of course 🙂
And Tebow is buying a Stairway to Heaven.
TD TIM TEBOW!
Heeeeeeeeeee!
I finally figured out how to tolerate Tebow: bet $ on him.
Assigning any religious intervention to Tebow’s performance is blasphemy, Dennis.
Just thought I’d let you know.
Pittsburgh is running out of players.
Right you are. The Steelers are getting mighty thin in more than just a few areas.
As for assigning blasphemy to yours truly? That train has left the station many moons ago. If you run real fast, you might still be able to catch the caboose.
I figure that God has now decided that he’s teased the heathens enough.
So far it’s a home-team bonanza . . .
Haha I am fucking loving this.
Tebow spirals a ball (if you can use that word) like it’s the first time he’s ever thrown a football. It isn’t just being left handed. I’m left handed and I throw a perfect spiral compared to that dude.
And I thought only Billy Kilmer and Steve Spurrier couldnt throw a spiral.Tebow throws a knukleball.
Kat, don’t you go knocking Steve Spurrier. I wore his #11 jersey back in 1973 at the ‘Stick. If you have a problem with that #11, I got a guy for ya… 😀
Real sorry you would wear a Spurrier jersey Dennis.For a Heisman trophy winner,he was right up there in talent with your boy from Pinole Gino.Brodie was the man with the talent.Hell George Mira could give Spurrier a run for minimal talent.
Kat, thank you. That is why I’ve always said that the Heisman Trophy is a goddamn joke. Steve Spurrier (1966, the year I was born) and Gino Torretta have their names engraved on that sacred trophy.
You think Andrew Luck is worried about finishing second twice? Reminds me of the horse, Alydar. He finished twice — thrice in the Triple Crown to Affirmed. But true horsemen know who was the better horse. Especially when it came to the breeding shed.
I don’t want to intrude, nor will I ask you about your religious beliefs. But if you can’t appreciate Tebow’s devotion, well, I can’t help ya there.
I am envious of that that guy. It’s not that he believes in Jesus Christ. It’s the fact that he just believes. Whether it be JC, the Sun, the Moon or Alex Smith’s jockstrap. Tim Tebow is committed 100% to his beliefs.
I know I, and I think the rest of you would like to be able to say the same.
Fuck you. I believe in myself. Try it sometime. The only person who makes good/bad things happen in my life is me. It’s the same for you too, Denny, you’re just too blinded to see that…
Flav, that question wasn’t directed specifically at you, but I’m happy to hear your response. I’m still working on trying to believe in myself.
I said I was worried about this game- more because of Rothliswhatever playing poorly than T-Blow playing well. But God can be cruel- at his cruelest when he snatches away victory when it seems so close at hand..
Shit. The Rapist is really hurt. Too fucking bad. But the Broncos going into the Prevent D won’t help. they lucked outta that one…
I swear to fucking Tim Tebow’s Christ. Who ever invented that shit should receive punishment that’s even beyond my imagination.
Hint: he’s not gonna like it.
You don’t how blessed or devoted Teblow or anyone else is, Death Threat. I’ll stack my blessings and contributions against Teblow’s any fucking day. We all know you feel unworthy, don’t project your inadequacies onto others…
I never said I did. I just admire and envy Tebow’s belief. If you have the same fervor and dedication to believe ( whatever you like), I’m not only envious, but I applaud you. Good for you.
The man who became my friend here, the quadriplegic who was in my little parade after the WS win, died last week. We agree on practically nothing, but I respected what he gave up in service to his country. I don’t ever need to hear about T-Blow’s alleged devotion and commitment..
OK, it’s halftime. Time for a little levity. Just play along. I just saw (and I’m sure the rest of you) that Jack in the Box commercial to end the first half. OK, rank your best Fast Food joints…
1. Taco Bell
2. Burger King
3. Jack in the Box
side note: I don’t consider Nation’s a “fast food” joint. But if I did, they’d be #1, and it wouldn’t even be close for 2nd. Think Secretariat at the Belmont. When I used to live in Albany, Nation’s was just a hop, skip and jump away. Nation’s was my second residence. Late at night after the bars closed, I’d walk in and tell Becky, “Give me the usual.” Extra Giant Breakfast with scrambled eggs, wheat toast and bacon.
I miss that shit.
About ten of the best aren’t even on your dumb shit list..
Fine. You’re welcome to criticize my list, but I didn’t hear any other options from you.
What fast food do you like?
OK Del topping the list is Pinutos (a kind of wrap). They’re in the barangay of San Miguel about a mile from where I was born. They got a franchise in the big city of Cagayan so this makes them a giant chain. Capice? Their food is yummy, their food is cheap and it’s in my home town. Rumor has it they torched the original building recently to collect the insurance payoff (sez the filipina wife, she should know right?) to build the glass and cement monument we enjoy today. Why in the name of God are they #1? Especially when “fast food” means maybe ya get yer order … maybe not. Simple, keep reading
#2 The Cowboy Grill. Up in the hills over a progressively bad road from 3000′ elevation on up. Great menu: grilled Blue Marlin steaks, Ostrich steaks, Baby Back Ribs, Mango Float desserts, cute waitresses. Best fooda the bunch. Your truck breaks down going up there 4000′ yer fucked BUTT and for all you equivocators this is a huge BUTT, capice? YOU WILL get yer order today and you will love it. Prollem is the fucking road, fair?
#3, #4, #5 The Lodge, The Clubhouse, the Bungalow. All owned by Del Monte Philippines Incorporated. All have the same menu with minor variations, all have NO waitresses, all have waiters and NONE are cute. I checked Goddamn it! The food is strictly American. The service is pretty good. You will get yer food pretty soon, maybe. You will pay a bunch. You will gnash yer remaining teeth and cursing, remember yer opulent childhood which of course was never good enough. Because you (me?) are one spoiled bastard factually speaking.
Well, he’ll probably make a comeback now, but I think Tomlin has to listen to someone other than Ben when making the decison to play him.
Don;t eat fast food.
Pittsburgh REALLY lucked out there. Their play calling is atrocious. Injury or no, the way to slow down Denver’s rush isn’t the bubble screen. Reminds me of someone.
Chuck, you don’t eat ANY fast food? If you say so again, emphatically, I’ll believe you. Maybe.
Rarely.
Maybe 4 times a year . . .
I appreciate Tebow’s devotion . . . to self-promotion.
Nice drive by Pittsburgh there. Hell of a run by Redmon.
Someone should teach that play to the Falcons. Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuh…..
