His Greatness

http://www.theonion.com/content/news/michael_vick_fails_to_inspire_team I love this.

They're going to trounce Oakland with or without him. Carr will probably be in by the fourth.

lmao. I'm going to use that. Too bad for JO, though. The man is a walking injury. I still remember BFT getting excited about him and forecasting big things for the Raptors. That was great. In before Elton Brand joke.

Bigger number this game: Oakland's final score or JaMarcus Russell's QB rating?

So can we finally start having erections for Brand? Is he 'back'?

The Rockets are this year's Bobcats — a hard team to play that will compete by virtue of its inherent heart and scrap, but fall short of the postseason because of a deficiency in talent.

Brooks is full of energy, but he's not ready to be the head honcho or second-in-line. T-Mac is an enigma — he hasn't been healthy is an eternity, and I believe he's slated to miss the first half of the season... and who knows if he'll even be any good. And Scola is a fine player, and also an unreliable leading option. Who will create for Ariza? Hell, who can create any offense consistently? They've got a bunch of marginal players trying to fill roles way bigger than they are, and that's a guaranteed stamp for the lottery. I don't see it, sorry.

I haven't watched any of the preseason, and I don't intend to, but how has Sammy fared? Same old same old?

That didn't sound gay at all. Not that there's anything wrong with gay...

Could've had Aaron Rodgers. Instead Troy Williamson and Erasmus James. Nice tradeoff.

Because Don Nelson only wants to sometimes win games.

Yao was the lifeblood of the Rockets. That team has everything but a legitimate source of offense to make it to the playoffs.

Now he can be jealous of LeBron when he goes to New York, too. It all works out.

Every game could go either way if you move a few things around. But that's not how it works.

Green Bay had no business even being in that game at the end. It was their offense that kept them in it. And if you don't buy it from the Vikings game, then watch any other game. That offense is top-notch. I'd be much more proud of beating the 49ers than beating the Panthers or Titans this year. 1) Again, it wasn't pure luck; we outplayed them. Blindly rehashing a point when it's already been disproved doesn't make it any more true than it was the first time. 2) lol, blame it on the schedule makers for not plotting the Vikings against an elite team earlier in the season. Not their fault. That's a pretty sh-tty way to discredit a team anyways. 3) Never posted that or even slightly suggested that the Vikings would win the Super Bowl. What I said was: Sarcasm, if you couldn't tell. Besides, it's not like it's unrealistic for Minnesota to be in the Super Bowl. 4) The 49ers are good. Nothing more, nothing less. Their defense is solid, Hill is more than a game-manager, Davis looks like he's finally coming around, and Coffee is a serviceable stopgap that did a fine job filling in.

I hope Singletary chews this kid up.

An explosive offense has the weapons to score at any given time. Give Rodgers a few seconds and he's going to eat your secondary. Man was suffocated last night and still managed 384 yards. That's why it's called explosive. Tennessee had the best record in the league last season. Carolina tied for best in the NFC. New Orleans and Denver finished at exactly .500. The Bengals were one of the worst teams, and now they're in front of the champs in the division. Don't use last season as the sole indicator of a team's caliber, otherwise that begets the counter of Minnesota posting an impressive 10-6 record without a quarterback. But you're not willing to admit that they're actually good, are you? Every Minnesota victory has been decisive with the exception of San Francisco, who they still beat and outplayed. A win is a win. If you're looking for a blowout, you won't ever get one from this team because Childress is too much of a [expletive]. And yes... the 49ers are good. Please stop nitpicking. "LOL YOU GOT LUCKY AGAINST THE NINERS WE OWNED PETERSON, DAWKINS PENIS IS HUGE ABOUT EIGHT INCHES I THINK"

1) Giants 2) Saints 3) Colts 4) Vikings 5) Broncos Giants are pretty comfortably the best team in the league to me.

Second worst, which isn't bad at all considering the three teams in front of them are probably the best in the league right now.

That is an explosive offense. You saw what they did in 1:19 late in the 4th... you can't sleep on them. The line blows, but again, thoroughly dominating that unit is still a function of the game and a testament to Minnesota's defensive. Yeah, that's not sucking. "Sucking" is not the only alternative to not being elite. 49ers aren't either; they're a good team. I don't get what you're trying to disprove. In fact, what are any of you trying to disprove? The Vikings are 4-0. I never said they were the best team in the league, because they're not, but is it implausible to say they're up there? If we should've lost then we would've. See the above post.

San Francisco didn't convert a third down, we outgained them on offense and owned the time of possession. If that's luck, then you can chalk up every score to luck. It was a better team making a better play when it mattered most.

San Francisco is legit, and Green Bay has an explosive offense. Dominating their line is part of the game.

Favre is old and can't lead the Vikings to the Super Bowl.

Best post so far.
