    Let's see what he does when there is a QB back there that is a serious threat. Then he's really going to do some damage.

    A veteran - whether active duty, retired, or national guard or reserve is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to, "The United States of America ", for an amount of "up to and including my life - it's an honor."

      I went through the ESPN playoff generator again. As it turns out, if Green Bay wins out, Seattle loses @ Dallas, and Atlanta loses @ New Orleans, then Green Bay is in. I don't believe that is the only scenario they get in, but it's certainly a possible one. For example, the Rams could win in Seattle this week. But probably the most important game for GB aside from their own is Atlanta @ New Orleans. For some reason if Atlanta wins that game but then loses at home to the Panthers in the last week, GB is out.

      Also to add to that scenario, should GB make it, then Rodgers will either be playing in LA for the opportunity to play Philly the following week -- of course without Wentz -- or will play against Brees in the first round.

      Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

        The overturning of the Pittsburgh TD was ridiculous. And then they throw a pick when they had the tie wrapped up.

            Yeah, but I’ll take it!

            Pittsburgh got way too greedy that last play. That should have been a win for them. That was a crazy game.

              I really loathe Pittsburgh.

                  Or maybe Todd Haley is dumb. And maybe the NFL rule of what constitutes a catch is dumb. But once again, a very entertaining game.

                    Any QB at that level should know that he has two options in that scenario:

                    1) Throw a pass into the EZ that has no chance of being intercepted; or
                    2) throw it away and take your chances in OT.

                    I'd be curious to know what Pittsburgh's offense was being told during the 5-minute review of the non-TD. They should have been over there assuming the TD would be overturned and scripting scenarios for the next two plays. But based on the fact that they came out and ran a play that kept the clock moving, and then the team had no idea whether they were going to spike the ball or run a play, I'm guessing that didn't happen. Meanwhile, the OC should have been repeatedly reminding Ben of the above two points.

                    So I agree that Haley is also dumb. Go ahead and add Mike Tomlin to that list.

                      Due to the way they've been interpreting what is a catch and what isn't - having to maintain possession to the ground if you are making the catch while in the air - I thought the Pittsburgh TD overturn was a pretty easy call to make. He's off the ground when the ball hits his hands. He's landing on his side as he comes down. He doesn't keep possession of the ball when he hits the ground. Not a catch.

                      I'm not a Pats fan, and they win enough that I tend to root for the teams they are playing. But that wasn't a catch based on how the rule has been interpreted for the last couple of years at least.

                        I think that is pretty much consensus amongst all who are not Pittsburgh fans (and even some of them). The problem is it's a dumb rule, particularly when juxtaposed with the "just break the plane" rule for runners.

                          Also, it was the action of extending the play by stretching across the goal line that put the security of the ball in jeopardy.

                            Listening to Steven A Smith attempt to interpret the ruling this morning was like a comedy routine without a punchline. That guy knows less about more than anyone in existence.

                              P.Diddy wants to buy the panthers... and sign Kaepernick in as the QB:

                                I heard on NPR this morning that Steph Curry wants a piece of the Panthers too.
