Soooo ... picking the underdogs is not a good strategy. I see that now!

I cant see Pats getting past Chiefs or Ravens. Agreed. Especially with no bye week for the 42-year-old Shady One. I can't see the Cowboys advancing very far in the play-offs.

And then the Patriots went on to become World Champions ... again. Are you making the argument that regardless of what happens in the regular season, no matter how bad a loss, the playoffs are a completely different situation? If you are, well done. You fooled at least one person! Are you making the argument that regardless of what happened in the playoffs the year before, it will happen the next year? That would be contrary to my previous comment ... so, no. The Patriots are in a difficult situation, no doubt ... like being down 25 points in the 4th quarter ... or a hopeless goal line stand with just seconds remaining ... or holding the most prolific offense of the season to just 3 points with a mediocre defense. Does that mean the Patriots will persevere once again, against all odds? Of course not. Eventually the odds win. It is inevitable. The best we can hope for is to hold off that inevitability for another year. Predicting another trip to the SB because the Patriots have done it four out of the last five years is silly. As is counting them out when things look dire. Wouldn't you agree?

The Pats might not make it to KC or Baltimore. After shitting the bed against Miami, the Pats have to play Tennessee. And Tennessee beat them by 24 last year. And then the Patriots went on to become World Champions ... again.

... for 17 game. Congratulation. That was quite the accomplishment ... until the Patriots surpassed them. The Patriots never surpassed the 1972 Dolphins. The 1972 Dolphins went an entire NFL season undefeated. The Patriots have never gone an entire NFL season undefeated. ... 16, 17, 18, 19 ... I'll add your inability to count to the list.

No they don't. The number of regular games played throughout a career is not factored in, which is why it doesn't make much sense to just count the regular season TDs. Of course it does. If you are a starting quarterback on a passing team who has played in 30 post season games, you are expected to have more touchdown passes than, a starting quarterback on a passing team that has only played in 10 post season games. If the number of games played mattered then it would be factored into the current TD pass record. It isn't. Since it isn't then all TD passes should be counted.

No team in the history of the NFL had ever gone undefeated for 18 games No team in the history of the NFL except the 1972 Dolphins have ever gone undefeated. ... for 17 game. Congratulation. That was quite the accomplishment ... until the Patriots surpassed them. LOL! You write that in a thread where we discuss Tom Brady being recognized by the NFL as one of the very best in the history of the NFL. It must really suck to be as perpetually wrong as you manage to always be.

The record that seems to be important to some people is the total number of career TDs. Not the TD rate. Limiting it to just the regular season doesn't make much sense. Every starter plays the same amount of regular season games. Every starter doesn't play the same amount of post season games. No they don't. The number of regular games played throughout a career is not factored in, which is why it doesn't make much sense to just count the regular season TDs.

Do the number of games played matter as to who has the record for most TD passes? Brees has had the same number of opportunities to play in the post season as Brady. If you are going to compare post season touchdown passes, it should be touchdown passes per post season game. The record that seems to be important to some people is the total number of career TDs. Not the TD rate. Limiting it to just the regular season doesn't make much sense.

SB 42 was everyone's fault. Agreed. No team in the history of the NFL had ever gone undefeated for 18 games before (or since). The Patriots were charting new territory, unique to only them, as they went for their 19th. The team lost. Sure, it would be nice to have a Brady avatar with seven fingers, but would it really change anything? I mean, everyone already thinks Brady is the GOAT ... everyone already thinks Belichick is one of the most brilliant coaches ever ... everyone is already sick and tired of this two decade domination of the NFL by the Patriots ... the butt-hurt would still be butt-hurt ... the crybabies would still be in perpetual tears, making up lies to satisfy their own inadequacies ... ... is there a single person still on the fence, requiring a 7th World Championship before finally coming on board the Patriots gravy train? All of the fence sitters have already capitulated years ago, many of them after that stunning, historic and record breaking come-from-behind victory against the Falcons in SB LI. (I still get goosebumps, just thinking about it!) How much more gravy can we ladle upon this amazing success story of the 21st century Patriots?

An opinion that is not supported by the coaches select to the NFL 100 all-time team. Parcells did not make the cut. The 26 NFL experts that voted, and would have certainly factored in your argument, did not deem him worthy. Guess I better change my opinion. No need. Everyone is entitled to their opinion ... as long as that opinion has some basis in reality, logic and reason (like yours) ... and isn't just a malignant manifestation of irrational butt-hurt and abject stupidity.

Not that I care about media awards, but I'd like to point this out again. Bill Parcells is a better coach than Bill Belichick. An opinion that is not supported by the coaches select to the NFL 100 all-time team. Parcells did not make the cut. The 26 NFL experts that voted, and would have certainly factored in your argument, did not deem him worthy.

Brees is a few ahead of Brady is regular season TDs, if you click the link in my post, you'll see Brady has 40 more post season TDs than Brees. Tom Brady has been in more post season games than Brees. It's only expected he would have more post season touchdown passes. Do the number of games played matter as to who has the record for most TD passes? Brees has had the same number of opportunities to play in the post season as Brady.

For that reason, if no other, Barry Bonds should NEVER get into the Hall. He pissed on baseball for his own selfish gain, Just like the Black Sox.
The same way that Brady and Belichick pissed on football with their repeated cheating for their own selfish gain. Barry Bonds will never get into the Hall of Fame ... because after six years, He does not have the votes. He is not worthy. Brady & Belichick are first ballot locks for the Hall of Fame ... because everyone thinks they are worthy. Both were just voted onto the NFL 100 all-time team, as the greatest to ever play the game. The vote was unanimous, btw . No one believes your lies, cupcake.

Now we know who the NFL considers to be the 10 greatest QBs of all time. But it doesn't look like they are going to break it down beyond that group of ten. I guess it will be up to us to rank the top ten. Because this list of all time greats spans such a wide range of eras, I think it is only fair to judge them on their respective greatness when compared to their peers. Otherwise, many of the very old timers are going to get short changed. I also factor in achievements, ability, statistics ... and a sprinkle of bias. My rankings ... Sammy Baugh - 6 Tom Brady - 1 John Elway - 10 Brett Favre - 9 Otto Graham - 2 Peyton Manning - 7 Dan Marino - 8 Joe Montana - 3 Roger Staubach - 5 John Unitas - 4 Brady, Graham, Montana, and Unitas were the unanimous choices at quarterback. Brady, Graham, Montana, Unitas - the best of the best of the best.

It looks like it's more than just being old and fat.
I noticed something similar with Harold Ramis, near the end. Is it a medical condition?

Nick Fury learns from his mistakes. No, he doesn't. Fury was off on vacation while Beck was causing havoc in Venice, Prague, and London. I'm glad you brought that up. Nick Fury in outer space. Taking a brief "simulated vacation" on an alien space ship, while in route to something big ... that will no doubt affect the safety of Earth. LOL! Did you forget which side of the argument you were on, cupcake?
