Why the day after the Super Bowl isn't a holiday mystifies me. I've been clamoring for it for years. I would be willing to bet that there are more drunk people in the USA on Super Bowl Sunday than New Year's Eve.

I'm surprised they haven't considered moving it to a Saturday night. Particularly if they are serious about getting more of an international audience.

It wouldn't feel right.

NFL on Saturdays just doesn't sound right!

But I get your point!

I'm sure somebody could do an animated gif of Mike Tomlin jumping out of the way.

Flopping has permeated the NFL now too. I know I posted about Luck and Mickell flopping and I've seen at least 2 other instances. I'm not quite sure what Cam is trying to convey to the refs here, "OH MY GOD REF! That has to be a 1/2 yard penalty, you have to call it! HE WAS OBVIOUSLY OFFSIDES, CAN'T YOU SEE THAT!"

These things always come out! The losing ones go to places like Africa!

There's a famous picture of kids in Nicaragua wearing Patriots 19-0 t-shirts!

The Denver pass D without Chris Harris is pretty woeful. However, the Patriots have virtually nothing in the pass game!

Whereas, the Denver passing game is probably Manning's best set of Receivers he's ever had


Better than Harrison, Wayne and Clark?

That was brilliant seeing Cam do that, completely needless but added a bit of a "Soccer" feel to it all.

Arguably, the 4 man combo now, is better than the 3 man combo then.

I also think Manning made each of them look better than they are. I don't think Clark regressed that huge an amount from 2011 onwards, but his numbers fell off a cliff.

Not sure if there's a video online, but Ryan Kalil did an hilarious slow motion collapse when he was lightly touched after an offside/false start ruling.

I didnt notice it at first, but they showed a replay, with his head wobbling and eyes rolling in his head etc. very amusing.

I'd have Edgerrin James (woefully underrated), Dominic Rhodes, Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne, Brandon Stokely and Dallas Clark over Knowshon Moreno, Montee Ball, Bebe Thomas, Eric Decker, Wes Welker and Julius Thomas. Right now. Ball, Decker and Julius Thomas are still not consistent enough. Bebe has gotten miles better since his first year, but still has the occasional goof.

Myself and Swanny would like to prove Madden's realism.

We played the NFCCG tonight on Madden 25.

Final Score: Seahawks 38, 49ers 41.

Realism eh?!

The two people controlling have something to do with that though! #pick6

I will be willing to guarantee that Allen Robinson does not go to the Seattle Seahawks. Second Round name to keep an eye on if he goes to your team, Aaron Donald from Pittsburgh. Undersized DT that thoroughly dominated the ACC this year. He won the Lombardi Award, Bronko Nagurski Trophy, Chuck Bednarik Award and Outland Trophy. Strangely, he is the exact same size as John Randle, who everyone thought was too small to play DT and ended up in the Hall of Fame.

Steratore to ref the NFC CG. Best ref in the NFL IMO. He won't let them get away with it.

Corrente in charge of the AFC CG.

Hilarious.
