Official NFL 2008 Post Season Thread

Pats win but I'm taking Giants +12.5. Final score will be 34-27.

This should make Type Ryan happy. Monk and Green are hall of fame bound.

Monk has no place in the HOF imo, that's disappointing.

More disappointing is that Richard Dent isn't already selected, or that Randy Gradishar didn't make it in his final year of eligibility (now he'll have to get through the senior voting).

Pats are being accused of taping the Rams walkthrough before their first championship. The details are sketchy but since Pats are huge cheating assholes I believe it.

Here's my response to the whole, "Art Monk shouldn't be in the HOF" statement. If the voters let those other guys in, and Monk had comparable stats AND was an NFL record holder at the time of his retirement, they needed to be consistent and vote Monk in. If they didn't, they would have made themselves look like a bunch of fucking hypocrites.

Anyone who doesn't think Art Monk is a Hall of Famer is a moron, and I'd love to keep all Redskins out.

The Rams kept getting bogged down, as if New England knew what plays were coming. If the Patriots secretly taped the Rams' walk-through, then stopped the red zone plays the Rams showed in that walk-through, then won that Super Bowl by three points, then logic says New England materially benefited from cheating in the Super Bowl. If true, this would be the worst sports scandal since the Black Sox.

Oh please. The worst scandal since the Black Sox?? Because they supposedly taped their opponent? If they did..which lets face it they probably did, so what. Is it cheating? I suppose, but really, the Black Sox? I'd say they are the exact opposite of the Black Sox. They aren't taking money to lose. They are doing everything in their power to win.

I just watched the Grizzly Adams special on ESPN about the Pats Oline being compared to other great bearded people. It was damn funny, I hope someone uploads it on youtube soon.

Heart: Giants 31-28
Mind: NE 41-17
