They infiltrate Anaheim Stadium when the Bo Sox are in town. Had a female sox fan ask me if she should get a boob job at the last game. I told her that her tits were great the way they were and she had nice nipples. Only Sox fan I ever liked besides Roxy.

Huge matchup today between Seahawks and Steelers. I see a few Hawks fans here in the forums so I will gladly make my voice heard. It is plain and simple, IF the LOB can shutdown A. Brown, Big Ben, and their running game, Seattle will come out on top and most likely win out the rest of their games.

Also if we get a little help with Tampa and Atlanta losing today, Seahawks have the 2nd Wildcard spot to themselves.

That's the winning recipe for just about anyone against the Steelers.

Lots of folks are calling for a Denver upset tonight. I'm not seeing it. Brady and his O-line get their **** together and come away with the W.

Not with Brock Osweiler at the helm. He still needs more experience before he can stand against a powerhouse like New England. It may get close in the third but NE will pull away in the end.

I think he comes down off of the adrenaline high from last week a bit. Maybe throws a pick or two. Last Sunday was a Hollywood story. Tonight it's back to the real world.

(I hope)

As a Seahawks fan I hope Denver destroys New England but I am not that much of an optimist. However a lot can go our way this morning. Go Vikes and Go Colts.

I can imagine Dean Blandino, VP of officiating, calling up Pete Morelli and congratulating Pete Morelli and his crew for calling one of the most egregious football games I've ever seen. The 49er/Cardinal game was completely affected by every single call. That's not how professional games should be played. They're professional because of the skill of the players not the means f getting around penalties. The league is SO CLOSE to being completely un-watchable right now.

Atrocious reffing.

Who was affected more?

I wasn't watching the 49er/Cardinal game. Too focused on the Hawks beating the Steelers.

[Exo]

Cardinals.

There was a "roughing the passer" call that is easily the worst I've ever seen. Right after that there was a deep pass that should have been called back to due BLATANT delay of game. This was all on the drive that eventually gave the Cards the lead. Even Cardinal fans were saying they shouldn't have won the game.

Well then that makes me mad. I just watched the highlights and I feel like throwing up. I don't know but this year and last year have been terrible in officiating. It wasn't that great in Seattle for officiating either but it worked out in the end.
