[/ QUOTE ] Well I apologize for questioning, that's definitive enough for me. Also, something you might be interested in, as I understand you're a Jags fan, I heard from this guy I know, that his barber cuts hair for the limo driver for Peyton Manning. Now he said that he was told that once both Manning and Colts GM Bill Polian were in the limo and Polian mentioned putting poison in Leftwich's soup (not Campbell's chunky, that's McNabb's gig), which might explain why he got hurt. If I were you I'd warn Jags GM James Harris that there's foul deeds afoot. Just a freindly heads up. Cody |

Re: NFL Playoff Predictions thread
AFC
Chiefs over Colts Pats over Jets SD over Chiefs Ravens over Pats Ravens over SD (and I am an SD fan) NFC Cowboys over Seahawks (Seahawks suck worse) Eagles over Giants (Eli " I don't want to go to SD" Manning chokes) Cowboys over Bears (Bears can't score) Eagles over Saints (ouch) Eagles over Cowboys SB Ravens versus Eagles. Ravens win (My heart wants SD at Saints - SD wins) |

[/ QUOTE ] Lol at citing jaguars.com as proof that the Colts are pumping in noise. The fact of the matter is that the dome really amplifies things a lot. The easiest way to tell is when there are a decent number of opposing fans in the stadium. Yesterday there was a decent but not huge number of KC fans in the building and it is surprising how loud a vocal minority can be in there. |

Re: NFL Playoff Predictions thread
Vic is a reliable source and is not extremely biases compared to some writers(say...New York writers?) I wouldn't cite it if I did not feel it was credible, cause I wouldn't believe the author.
Do I really think the Colt's pump in noise? The side of me that has a brain, no way they do this and like you said, it's a dome and the sound is amplified. The fan side of me says YES!!! |
