That whole superman persona is why I don't like cam. Caperdick is the same way, they are just cocky little punks who are incredibly athletic.

Russel Wilson, Andrew Luck, even a bit of RGIII, all young QBs who are really talented and aren't cocky douchebags like them.

my prediction:

PATS-BRONCOS

the pats have three quality corners, and despite all the injuries, a relatively solid overall defense. they run the ball as well as anybody as of late and should be able to find success there as well against the broncos. broncos, for all their passing efficiency, sometimes dont look good enough and go away from a perfectly working run game.

should be a close one, but i think that the pats will find a way to win.

PATS 31-28 BRONCOS



NINERS-HAWKS

that will be tough. 49ers definitely look like the best team in football. that defense is as tough as they come and while it might be a tad "worse" than seattle's, the niners have the better passing game by far. run game is similar. not seeing the ultimate defensive battle, low-scoring type of game, since both have to open it up a bit in order to get some points on the board.

definitely a close one, but the seahawks should be able to ride the homefield all the way. crowd noise is huge in the run game and this is the main strength for both teams, so this really should make a difference.

NINERS 20-21 HAWKS



SUPERBOWL
NFC-AFC

whoever wins the AFC should (on paper) really have no chance to win. i mean those two NFC defenses are just crazy good and its not like they have no offense to compliment it. even as a secondary pats fan, i dont think this will work. obviously you cannot predict everything right, so i just stay with conferences here.

NFC 23-17 AFC


for any betting profits made based on these predictions, feel free to paypal me 60%. thanks

Can you explain? What do you mean by the veil being lifted? That is tickets would be avail. to Cali residents they would use their superior bot skills to purchase all available tickets and therefore Seattle would be exposed as having no fans or something? What is everyone talking about? They don't want the opposing team to have an equal opportunity to buy tickets to the NFC championship game in Seattle...potentially taking seats away from hawks fans. It was done more so as a statement anyway, because the number of tickets that actually went for sale today were inconsequential in terms of the crowd noise, or worrying that the stadium would be full of niners fans. Having home field advantage and making small efforts to give home fans an edge on getting a seat to such an important game for us is the perk of being the number one seed. Its supposed to be an advantage. I do agree with some of the things you say on here but I just don't understand what veil you are talking about or why you think Seattle fans are manufactured. Also just as a side note and FYI- this isn't the first time this has been done...the ticket selling thing.

Yes...texas a&m started using the term in the 30s or something. Hawks started in the 80s when the franchise started, Texas trademarked it in 1990, and the then sued the hawks, the hawks settled with them so both can use it. Other teams that were using it at the time like the bears and colts ceased.

we didn't start it by any means-- maybe its just now that you've been aware of it. I remember Seattle wasn't able to buy tickets to the bears playoff game a few years back and a quick google search tells me its been the norm for a while but is just now being talked about as though it is a story.

It's actually not a story. It really affects no one and is irrelevant. Do you really think it affects anyone but out of state scalpers?

What does this even mean? Lots of franchises in lots of sports attempt to restrict ticket sales to out of towners, scalping, etc... this isn't new and it isn't a "loophole", I don't think you even know what that word means.

... I'm saying it is biased but the fact that those pics of him even exist says something about his personality. I'm sure there are great pics of Colin out there that are similar to those of wilson- he does charity work, too. But you won't find pics of Wilson that are similar to those of Colin...so although biased, there's a smidgen of truth there.

well yeah.....I'm no Kaepernick fan but he has plenty of pictures of him with friends/family, fans, Marines, doing the same thing WIlson does. I respect the fact though that he doesn't feel like he has to tell everybody every time he does something good.

But lets be honest, you don't follow athletes and celebs on instagram to see them in hospitals or with fans, that's cool and all, but it's so you can see what they spend the ridiculous amount of money they earn on.

me too, I tried purchasing tickets the minute they went on sale and it didn't work out. Sold out in seconds and were for re sale for like 5 times the price.. So annoying

Definitely excited though, going to be a party! Pretty amazing the top 4 teams from the start of the year are in the final four. That's how it should be.


Let's go Broncos!!

I would've gone if the Chargers won, but oh well...

Also going to a party at my friend's house, should be a rad time! I agree, it's good that the elite teams are the ones still in it.

Go Pats!

i believe that is about $40k to be given to about 20,000 players. i can see why the judge thinks its too low for sure.

I clearly don't understand the concussion thing. Why should players get paid because they received concussions while earning millions of dollars?

Is it because they didn't get proper treatment or something?

The NFL ignored the true effects of these repeated collisions. Not only did they ignore but they purposely hid the evidence from players practically since the NFL started. A lot of these players that are filing for money played during the 60's and 70's so you can imagine how little the players themselves knew about head injuries and how much less the NFL shared with them

I know what you're saying in that the players should be held responsible, they should have known what they were putting their bodies through and stuff. While they probably understood the physical effects playing in the NFL would have on their bodies, the long term brain health was/is way understated . It's really sad hearing these stories of guys in their 50's and 60's that can't recognize friends, can't work, problem generating new memories, depression and the staggering bills that come from these problems. The lawsuit isn't about getting rich again, it's about trying to offset these staggering costs from playing in the NFL - and making the NFL billions and billions of dollars.

Also a lot of those players definitely don't make millions of dollars. Shit, Edelman makes $750,000/yr and he has a clause in his contract that cuts that in half if he gets put on IR. Combine that with the normal NFL career of 3.5 years and that is not a whole lot of money for the rest of your life. Especially if you're getting brain damage and are unable to get a job after you retire from the NFL

its basically about whether or not the league knew about (dont forget, thats a different era neural-research wise) and did enough to prevent head injuries. like new rules for example that increase player safety, have they acted quick enough in that regard? did they mandate modern equipment? did they engage in brain research and communicate the results?

from what i know it comes down to questions like this.


and dont forget that a bunch of players, especially players from the 50s, 60s, 70s DIDNT make millions of dollars. the minimum salary is somewhat like 300,000k. the average career is 2-3 or so. so, most modern players dont make more than roughly a million. given the circumstances, thats sounds more than it really is. but for those guys playing a few decades earlier, it wasnt that pretty. average salaries (i know, inflation and stuff) was in the 5 digits in the 1970s and reached 6 digits during the 1980s. average includes all these star-contracts which obviously exceeded the average by wide margins, so there were a lot of people playing for way way less.

Dolphins hire the Eagles QB coach for the Offensive Coordinator position. Not sure how I feel... maybe he can build up Tannehill but can he call plays? I would have rather them hire an OC or a failed head coach who used to be an OC.
