2016/2017 NFL thread: The Final Countdown

[NewYorkSpider]

One of my favorite sports media personalities lately has been Colin Cowherd. I watch his radio show on Fox Sports 1 almost every chance I get. He speaks his mind, doesn't seem biased toward any particular team or athlete(that I've seen so far) and gives pretty good insight of the topic at hand.

I have never seen someone take such a strong stance against Dan Patrick.

long long ago, I used to work for Clear Channel, now IHeartMedia (who at the time was the primary distributor for ESPN radio)

on top of his SportsCenter duties, he also had a daily radio show - he treated anyone not his direct staff like utter crap - interns, PAs and apparently did this in Bristol as well

His version of the story was that he left ESPN, which is half true - they purposefully low balled his offer in the hopes he would leave

Ah, I see. That is too bad. I really enjoy his radio show. I think it is some of the best analysis and discussion available. Its disappointing that he is such a jerk.

which is also why, when he left ESPN and was only doing his radio show, he wasn't getting hired for a TV job - his rep preceded him

its also why the way he does the show now is mainly him and his own staff, so he can't s**t on anyone who isn't signing up for it

but I digress


Frakkin Packers.....eh, I hoped the Giants could roll in hot but Rodgers is Rodgers

 

[NewYorkSpider]

Didn't realize that if the Giants win this game, then Eli Manning will have more postseason wins at Lambeau Field than Aaron Rodgers does.

 

[TheCommissioner]

welp

that's about that

Im gonna eat some cake

More stories !!!!!!

INTERESTING!

Aaron Rodgers is so damn good. He is carving up this great Giant's defense.

 

[StarWars]

Aaron Rodgers unstoppable right now.

 

[StarWars]

And Packers pick up the live ball, that was hilarious. The Giants player got nailed when he thought the play was over.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Clay Matthews just owned the entire Giants offense.

 

[JewishHobbit]

Man, every game this weekend has gone the opposite way than how I was hoping. I was rooting for the Raiders, Lions, Dolphins, and Giants.

This week sucks.

So, no different then any other Wildcard round as a Bengals fan.

 

[Immortalfire]

I guess the Giants should have waited to have that boat party.

 

[StarWars]

Cowboys will wreck Green Bay next week.

 

[Rowsdower!]

The playoffs just won't be the same without postseason staple Matt Moore. I'm so used to seeing him orchestrate game winning drives in the playoffs. I guess this is the end of an era. As a Steelers fan, I'm truly proud that my team finally took down this previously unstoppable juggernaut.

Cowboys will wreck Green Bay next week.

I think the Packers are going to win the Super Bowl.

 

[Warhammer]

Is any of it wrong?

No, but damn son. I usually expect you to post that stuff when Pittsburgh loses.

I've never joined in on the joke but today I'm game.

Goooooooooo MATT MOORE!!!!!

With how damn good the Green Bay offense is playing coupled with how damn good Dallas is in general, Dallas/Green Bay is basically the NFC title game a week early. I can't wait.

 

[Matt]

Well, not for nothing but leaving Roethlisberger in the game in the fourth, resulting in his ankle being injured, kind of proves my point about Tomlin. Hell, he didn't just leave him in the game...he was passing and exposing him to the sack with a three score lead. Like I said...shortsighted.

 

[Reek]

Wow... Green Bay has a good offense for a few weeks and everyone forgets the Falcons... who have been doing it all year.

Go Falcons.

Go Falcons.

The Falcons defense is pretty horrible. The Packers defense has been playing a lot better as their players come back. I think the Seahawks are going to be beat Atlanta next week.

I actually want to see Jason Witten get a ring, so I would love for it to happen. Green Bay is red hot though.

 

[Spider-Gnome]

Going to console myself with internal commentary that this season was a step forward... and that the back 7 can't possibly be worse next year.

Externally, I'm going to drink.

I'm just amazed the Phins made the playoffs. It feels like they won their games with smoke and mirrors. Hopefully they can learn from this and get better next year. This year, they beat one team with a winning record. And that one team got their revenge today. Next year, Miami will have a second place schedule...
