    Better one-handed catch: Greg Jennings' or Larry Fitzgerald's?

    As impressive as Jennings' was, I give the nod to LF's, as it was a true one handed catch (he never touched with his other arm). He began to close with his left arm, but then made a conscious decision to keep his left arm free to brace his landing.

    Jennings stopped the ball with his left hand, but then brought it in to his body and caught it with both up against his stomach. That said, the velocity on the Jennings grab was definitely higher, making it more difficult to fully control with just one hand. Also, I'm not 100% convinced Jennings' was a catch (I have a feeling it bobbled against the ground when he landed on it) but there was no video angle to dispute it. LF's was clearly a clean catch.

    There's three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who's got the same first name as a city; and never go near a lady's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

      The Packers/Cards game was one of the best football games of the year. Very fun to watch, I am glad I stuck with it. I had recorded it since we now have the worst church time known to man, 12:30, and was about to give up when it looked like the Cards were going to complete the 4th blowout of the weekend.

      Arizona/New Orleans, I hope that all the lights in the scoreboard work.

          I can one up you. My church is at 1:00. On top of that, there's only two wards that meet in our building. The first ward goes at 9:00. They did the same thing last year only my ward went at 9:00. I guess the powers that be couldn't care less about all the people that have babies and toddlers in the ward (which is at least half of the families in our ward).
          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.”

            1 would be awful as well. There are also only 2 wards in the building I go to, but they claim parking is the reason the second ward can no longer go at 11.

            I suggested meeting times of 7 and 10:30 would solve the parking issue, it fell on deaf ears.

              We don't have parking issues, that's the thing.

              I'd LOVE 7 AM church, really. Being done with church by 10:00 AM would be awesome. As far as I'm concerned, I'd just stay up like usual on Saturday, be a zombie for church and then take a nice nap whenever my toddler goes down.

                I'm heading to New Orleans this weekend to watch the Cardinals / Saints. Any good food suggestions while down there? I was there a few months ago to see BYU / Tulane, but didn't have any time to get some good grub.

                Suggestions?

                      A blitzing Saints defensive back hit Warner's helmet with his hand and briefly grabbed his facemask. It drew a roughing the passer flag, negating a Sharper INT.

                      It's too ticky-tack for me.

                        Warner throws an INT, gets de-cleated going to make a tackle. He's down on the ground. Ouch.

                          Reggie Bush is still one of the funnest players to watch in all of sports. I hope he continues to get better.

                            Facemasking is facemasking. If a guy doesn't want to be flagged for it, he shouldn't do it.

                              He was flagged for roughing the passer, not grabbing the facemask. Based on the flag, they didn't see the facemask grab.

                                Ok. He should have been flagged for facemasking.
