I know that most of you are going to say that Owens is the main reason for that, but remember against the Packers, it was Westbrook who made all the big plays, and he scored 3 TDs. They have Westbrook and McNabb still, and they're more important that Owens I think.

I am pretty sure that he'll be back in the NFC title game no matter what, since they always get that far.

I am pretty sure you can chalk Owens up as "out for the season" I've torn ligaments in my ankles...combined with a bone fracture, I dont see how he could possibly be back.

And the Dolphins win over the Pats was simply awesome.

Let's not forget about our other AFC Easters. The Bills still have a shot for a wildcard spot.

I'm really hoping the Bills grab that last playoff spot. Drew Bledsoe is showing new life...and that defense is incredible.

We helped them out by beating the Ravens

Oh! The Vikings just collapsed (again). Everyone say bye-bye to Mike Tice.

Joeiss · 12-24-2004, 07:10 PM

Tice is one of my favourite all time coaches. Why? Cuz he is sooo HUUUGE.

Stonecutter · 12-24-2004, 11:13 PM

Chargers will beat the Colts.

You heard it here first.

Reggie White died. Didn't see that coming.

Man I can't wait to see those autopsy results.

And lest anyone forget what a huge ****ing bigot this guy was.

CBS SportsLine wire reports
March 25, 1998

MADISON, Wis. -- Most people invited to speak to the Wisconsin Legislature give five minutes of pleasantries, get a few moments of applause and go home.

Lawmakers weren't expecting the earful Reggie White had in store for them Wednesday.

They thought the Green Bay Packers star and ordained minister came to talk about his community work and a recent trip to Israel.

White did, but his nearly hour-long speech also included remarks on homosexuality, race and slavery that turned the Assembly's applause to stunned silence.

White said the United States has gotten away from God, in part by allowing homosexuality to "run rampant."

HOMOSEXUALITY IS a sin, and the plight of gays and lesbians should not be compared to that of blacks, White told lawmakers.

"Homosexuality is a decision, it's not a race," White said. "People from all different ethnic backgrounds live in this lifestyle. But people from all different ethnic backgrounds also are liars and cheaters and malicious and back-stabbing."

White said he has thought about why God created different races. Each race has certain gifts, he said.

Blacks are gifted at worship and celebration, White said.

"If you go to a black church, you see people jumping up and down because they really get into it," he said.

Whites are good at organization, White said.

"You guys do a good job of building businesses and things of that nature, and you know how to tap into money," he said.

"Hispanics were gifted in family structure, and you can see a Hispanic person, and they can put 20, 30 people in one home."

THE JAPANESE AND other Asians are inventive, and "can turn a television into a watch," White said. Indians are gifted in spirituality, he said.

"When you put all of that together, guess what it makes: It forms a complete image of God," White said.

White said later that his comments were about coming together as a society and were not meant to stereotype the races.

"This is the first time I've been at a loss for words," Assembly Minority Leader Walter Kunicki, D-Milwaukee, said after White's speech. "You can still tell from the tension in the room that much of this was offensive."
