How about the “No Interference” call in the Saints game? Even the NFL admitted to the bad call. It cost the Saints a place in the SB.

Typical of someone from Notre Dame.

Sorry nice runner but Walter Payton was the GREATEST on and off the field.

Jim Brown was the greatest.

Throw in the minimum six other obvious non-calls against the Rams and it is more obvious.

The more these sore losers whine the more I want to see Brady deflate the Rams. I wasn’t going to watch but now I am. Go Patriots!

Brown was pure power and he meant to hurt you. Payton was a ballet dance in pads.

I purposefully stated that Dickerson was the best runner. Payton was also an excellent blocker and receiver out of the backfield, making him a better running back. For this reason Marshall Faulk was also a better running back, but in my opinion Dickerson was a better runner.

Dickerson: Look, the Patriots are a great football team, but yeah, they cheated. 17 years ago, they cheated. Hey, all teams cheat. 'If you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin,' that's the NFL motto."

So the Rams were also cheating? 🤔

Rev 21

2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

12 And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:

My favorite running back was Ricky Bell, whose power running and blocking helped the USC Trojans to win a National Championship and two Rose Bowl games.

I don’t think I’ve ever been more disinterested in a Super Bowl.


Six Nations Rugby is on NBC Sports Network today. Scotland v Italy starting now (11:30 CST) and the big match England v Ireland at 1:30 CST. FWIW instead of kneeling, the players enthusiastically sing their national anthems.

The entire Patriots “cheating” mythology has a lot more to do with a host of AFC franchise owners that despise Belichik for mastering the salary cap. Season after season, Belichik, Brady & company make their teams look like arena league wannabes.

Hey, Emmitt’s great, don’t get me wrong. But Jim Brown was simply above everyone else. If he played when Emmitt played, and if he played as long as Emmitt played, he would have easily had over 20,000 yards.
