I can't believe how shit Brady played - it was more what i would have expected from him in the rookie Superbowl appearance. To be fair, he got fuck all pass protection early on and i knew it was going to be a hard ask given the holes in the Pats defence, but we'll come back stronger next year.Go the Ravens - its going to be a hard-ass revengefest against the Colts next week. I'm picking Ray Lewis is already practising on tackle dummies with Mannings face drawn on them. :rnr:
Colts and Saints make it through to their respective divisional finals.What annoys the hell out of me is ESPN show the colts game twice, but not the Saints. TV One news shows the results of te Colts game but don't even mention the Saints. It's blatant NFCism. Why does the AFC get all the publicity? And don't say "because all the good teams are in the AFC"....please. Even if it is the truth. I'm not sure I could handle it.
also, sad news about Bears DE Gaines Adams

Cardiac arrest at 26, that is indeed pretty sad. Just shows how much steroids those guys put in their bodies.
The best thing about Finance Minister Bill English\'s latest Budget is that it does finally signal a much greater role for the private sector in the New Zealand economy. And another step along the way to extract this country from the political cul-de-sac in which Helen Clark\'s Labour Government parked us.
EFT. :disappoin

I don't doubt it. Still sad though.Vikings V Cowboys update. Spoiler : Final score Vikings win 34-3.
The ocmmentators kept on about how great Manning is - and I agree, he's an excellent Q-back. But what won the COlts that game was their D. Keeping the Ravens to 3 was immense, especially as they averaged 25 points a game in the regular season.
Like so many sports its defence that wins matches. I hope Graham Henry learns that lesson before the next RWC.All the years i've watched NFL the two "truths" that keep coming back is the teams that win:have an excellent running game (which allows them to control the clock)have great defence (which stops the opposition scoring points)
In that case the Colts won't win.I thought their running game sucked!!!
When you have a person named "Peyton Manning" anything can happen.
Maybe - but even he didn't play that great yesterday - no scores in the 2nd half other than the FG.As mentioned, it was their D that won the game for them. And some awesome other plays - the one on the intercept where Garcon chased back and punched the ball out during the tackle was the play of the match IMO.
Name one QB apart from him, that could drive down and score a touchdown in 1:25 before the half.
AFC championship final between the Colts and the Jets will be broadcast on ESPN at 09:00 (NZ Time) on Monday Morning.( Go Jets, but only because I am concerned the Colts will beat the Saints at the Superbowl).NFC championship final between the Saints and the Vikings will be broadcast on Sky Sport 3 at 12:30 (NZ Time) on Monday afternoon - Go Saints (Obviously). Good thing I can work from home at times.So, if you have the sky sports package that includes these channels, no excuses (Like I did recently ).
Book those tickets, the Colts are headed to Miami!
