@Sodders: Couldn't have used him, he's still in college. College players can't get paid for the use of their images. Maybe once he graduates he'll be on NCAA 12 or 13.

@Goaliegeek2: They have to do that, because they can't pay a current amateur to use their image. So its always someone who is no longer playing in college.

@CJ's Ranch of Death: Prior to Obama, federal deficits were lied about by keeping war costs off the books. The real deficits were much larger than reported, and most of the projected debt going forward is the direct result of W's tax cuts, wars and unfunded prescription drug plan. But hey, if we just close our eyes

@Bosoxfan3: True, points are points but why does David Ortiz have such a reputation?

@Bosoxfan3: Semantics. A TD is a TD. A home run in the first counts as much as a home run in the 9th. Points are points. And if the Super Bowl really is the biggest stage in sports then throwing the game away, be in it the 1st or 4th quarter, should count the same. If they hadn't played so poorly early in the

@Bosoxfan3: I understand why Manning gets that label. My argument is that its not warranted, because for the most part the whole choker/clutch doesn't really exist. At least we can seems to agree on that.

@Bosoxfan3: Warner has thrown 2 Super Bowl losing pick-sixes. That's twice as many as Manning has. Definite choker.

@Bosoxfan3: I see. So had he just sucked and his team lost by 30 he wouldn't be a choker. It was only that he was actually good enough to get his team further than probably any other QB on the planet could get them that gave him the oppourtunity to choke. Got it.

@Bosoxfan3: So then Peyton's the choker, because his coach devised the wrong gameplan? That seems fair.

@Bosoxfan3: So it was a great option... except when it wasn't. Gotcha.

@Dashiell Bennett: You seem to imply that they pass a lot and run so little because of some ego trip on Peyton's part. I think the more logical answer is that they just aren't very good at running and they are very good at passing and they realize that this wins them games. This isn't basketball where one player can

An insanely talented playmaker whose greatest strength—his willingness to place his team's entire fortunes on his throwing shoulder—is also his greatest weakness. Because you cannot win a Super Bowl that way. You can't win it by yourself.

@ClintonPortishead: Apparently this is the "mathematics of football" which Dash was talking about.

This week, I like the Colts giving 5 points on the road against the Colts

They forgot their road flares? Amateurs.

Hey Craggs, hasn't it ever occurred to you that "poise" doesn't have shit to do with stats. You could theoretically have shitty numbers and still have poise, or vice versa.

@SilverHammer: I've read your list several times and haven't found Rachel Ray.

Am I out of line in thinking of Chipotle as some kind of Disney/McDonald's-type corporate evil, or should I stuff more burrito bowls down my facehole and forget about it?
