I wish I rooted for a team who had a super bowl win at any point in franchise history.

See, I'm slightly biased of course, but I agree, on the Eli/Romo thing. However, don't tell that to the NY radio guys, they either give Eli top much credit or don't give Romo enough credit, but they will laugh at a caller who tries to mention them and compare.
King and I have been through the comparison, neither would trade for the other, and I can't say one is better than the other....however, one has won two SBs....

Re: NFL Off Topic 2012
I wouldnt call it NY playing the disrespect card to Greenbay. This is more Greenbay random player marginalizing an *** whipping he took with excuses. I find that hilarious. Typical we beat ourselves card by Matthews. Oh Sports how I love thee.
And nice random shot at Eli. Then they wonder why NY plays the disrespect card, its so blatantly obvious. The "isn't that great offense" dropped 37 on em LMAO.
Sorry Packman I meant to end it but this was too good to pass up.Comment

Re: NFL Off Topic 2012
Bears WR Brandon Marshall speaks on his time in Denver and his relationship with Josh McDaniels:
"We're playing the Broncos [Thursday], and I'm just looking at that logo," Marshall says, shaking his head. "It was one of those situations where a lot of us could have ended our career there. It sucked at the time when it was all blowing up but I think it happened for the best, and we're in a better place now because of it."
McDaniels, a Bill Belichick disciple who was also given control of the front office, clashed with Cutler from the start. Marshall hated the decision to trade Cutler then and mocks it now.
"Maybe Josh would have done it again," Marshall says, "but maybe not. I don't know what he was thinking. I know a lot of people on the outside consider that a very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very bad move.
"Did I say 'very'?"
Shortly after Cutler was dealt, Marshall, who was unhappy with his contract, asked Bowlen for a trade, a request he said the owner assured him would be granted. It never happened, however, and things degenerated. Shortly before the season Marshall was suspended for a week for conduct detrimental to the team after acting out in practice by punting away a football and purposely swatting a pass to the ground.
"It's kind of obvious that I handled it the wrong way," Marshall says. "But we were coming off an offseason where the owner and I sat down and he told me he would trade me, and it was kind of an emotional conversation. He let my agent start facilitating trades. We had a few teams that were ready. And I guess McDaniels went in and said, 'Let me have some more time.' And when I got back they said they weren't going to extend me or trade me."
Shortly before that infamous practice meltdown, Marshall recalls, McDaniels reversed course and told him the team was open to signing him to an extension. When Marshall balked at the team's offer, the conflict escalated.
"He sent over some numbers, and it was honestly one of those things where, 'If you rush for four touchdowns, you can earn your number … '– you know, stuff that they control," Marshall says. "I was like, 'There's no way I can agree to that.' So when I got back we still weren't seeing eye to eye and he brought me in the office and said, 'Well now, it's conduct detrimental to the team if you don't do this, this and that.' And I said, 'Well, what happened to the contract you said we were gonna get done?'
"He said, 'Well, you didn't agree and that's it.' And I said, 'So, because I didn't agree to a contract that basically said I have to have four rushing touchdowns, now you're saying you don't want to do anything?' He said, 'Yeah, that's it. … I want to show you this paperwork on conduct detrimental to the team.' I got frustrated and went out there and … was detrimental to the team."
Four games into the season, with the Broncos in the midst of a 6-0 start, it looked like Marshall might stay in Denver: He even made a point of hugging McDaniels on the sideline following his 51-yard touchdown catch against the Dallas Cowboys, and the two men embraced again during the coach's postgame media conference.
"That was for show," Marshall now concedes. "I definitely was excited at the time, but to be honest, I was just trying to patch things up with them."
Late in the '09 season, Marshall set an NFL single-game record with 21 receptions in a 28-16 defeat to the Colts. Yet in the regular-season finale against the Chiefs at Invesco Field at Mile High, as the Broncos' postseason hopes unraveled Marshall wasn't even in the stadium.
His recollection: "What happened was that Wednesday I pulled my hamstring, so I started doing rehab on it, and that Thursday or Friday [McDaniels] had a press conference and he said, 'Brandon won't be playing because of a coaching decision.' But I'd pulled my hamstring and I wasn't gonna play anyway; he knew that and said it was a coaching decision.
"Then, when I showed up to the team hotel [Saturday night] and they had security tell me, 'Leave, and don't come to the stadium, injured players aren't allowed,' I knew it was over. Right outside of the team meeting room, I remember [Broncos chief of security] Dave Abrams stepping to me and telling me, 'Well, sorry Brandon, I hate to do this, but you're not allowed to be here, and also Josh doesn't want you guys to come to the game tomorrow either.' I said, 'Well, all year injured guys have been showing up,' and he said, 'Well, you know, he changed it.'#RespectTheCultureComment

Re: NFL Off Topic 2012
I didn't mean it as a "shot at Eli." Both QBs are talented, but they Giants have a better overall team around Eli. If I were forced to pick one of them at gunpoint I would take Romo - but again they are on the same level to me. Not a knock on either of them.
The offense being slightly above average comes into play with their slightly above average points/game. The league average for 2012 was 22.18 (22.2), the Giants averaged 24.6. The Packers gave up an average of 22.4 points/game. They had the 5th worst passing touchdowns allowed. The Giants scoring 37 on them really isn't all that hard to explain - our defense blew last year. Again, all hats off to the Giants (and I don't really care what a couple players say to each other. Players should always have confidence in their team and say whatever to that effect.) they came in and gave us a beating. They were by far the better overall team last year. Not trying to slight them at all either.
They are a solid all-around team, that got hot at the right time. The same thing the Packers did the year previous. If Rodgers doesn't play out of his mind to end that season, we don't win. They weren't the best team in the league, but they were hot at the right time.badComment
