Great news palmer only had 1 INT :).

He let the defense win the game like he should week after week.

What a game by Calvin Johnson.

A's over Royals. Lester and experience will prove that he's worth the trade.

Tigers winning it all. Tigers are, imo, peaking at the right time.

Romo was pathetic for 3 quarters, and pathetic in crunch time. The defense was bad, but the 4, yes 4, turnovers they forced kept them in the game. Unfortunately, the offense, led by Romo, could do jack squat with the ball once the D got it back for them.

Not every drive goes for a touchdown. You're expectations are ridiculous.

Surprisingly good turnout at the Hawks/Rams game. Wonder how much the tickets were running for.

In case you're curious as to what was actually happening instead of what that POS Brian Billick wants you to believe.

I'd think Billick of all people would understand what its like to have a guy thats emotional and all he wants is for his team to win the **** game on the sidelines. Seems to me a guy with a lot of passion who often yelled on the sidelines and on the field got him his ring didn't he?

But I guess its easier to be a media moron than to deal with facts. I was just surprised he got Dezs name right, it was one of 2 or 3 out of the dozen or so names he said that he didn't completely **** up. Or how he didn't realize how the holding penalty declined or not stops the clock and thats why it was in fact a big deal. Or that with a minute and a half left you don't proclaim a team has lost when they have the best receiver in the damn game on their side.

Billick is a terrible announcer and I wish someone would hire him as coach just so hed get the **** off TV. This isn't just about Dez, hes awful at his job and its a joke he is allowed to do it.

Billick was plain unprofessional this game. It sounded like he could barely hide his contempt for the Cowboys all game.

Late in the 4th, he was already counting the game as a Cowboys win, and I'm convinced he was doing it to jinx them, knowing full well as a head coach that the game was far from over, as the Lions still had two timeouts and had been running up and down the field all day long. He had to have known the game wasn't over. A-hole.

Wouldn't you at least do a Play Action there instead of an empty backfield? You've been running all over them, you don't have any jump ball threats in the red zone, so why the hell spread em out like that?

Am I the only one who thinks goal line offense should be super easy? Practice audibles confuse the heck out of the D.

Like what the Denver Peytons did yesterday when they moved at least 4 or 5 different guys around before that one goalline TD?
I'm still confused as to whats allowed and whats not during preplay. I didn't think you were allowed to have multiple guys in motion at once but it seemed everyone ran around like crazy there and there was no penalty. Or is that just part of the Broncos being allowed to do whatever they want? (not that i didn't enjoy it yesterday, just saying in general)

Ok I definitely agree with whoever said that QBs never get called out for throwing bitch fits, but receivers do. I kind of figured that for the most part, the receivers get called out because they're being selfish. But Dez Bryant wasn't being selfish.

Dez Bryant is still getting killed over his outburst on the sideline, even after the audio came out showing that it wasn't nearly as bad as people thought. Keshawn Johnson just brought up Tom Brady bitching out his receivers, and the only thing they said in response (Hasselbeck and Jaws) was that Brady apologized after...but he also wasn't getting NEARLY as much crap as Dez Bryant, despite doing the same thing.

If the Seahawks and Chiefs make it to the Super Bowl, does it make a sound?

Part of it is your reputation. Tom Brady has won 3 Super Bowls, Dez Bryant came into the league as a problem child. Guess who gets the benefit of the doubt.
