In predicting football games the first question to ask is, "What happened last time?"  

Much as I hate the idea, it's looking like the Steelers could be Super Bowl favorites.

Much as I would enjoy Steelers fans having to deal with a Super Bowl loss, I think that if they get into the big game they'll win it.

With neither team fielding a great offense, it'll come down to turnovers between the Jets and Steelers.  I'm hoping it's the Steelers who fumble it all away.

(I lingered over the eagles' loss to Green Bay, watching the post-game show and every agonizing interview.  I had to savor the tears of philadelphia fans.  Oh...so painful...so wonderfully painful for them!  :twisted: )


Tears of Eagles fans are like rare wine......

As long as the Bills are not involved, it is all good.

Isn't News of the World a tabloid?

What sort of Prime Minister appoints this guy to a position of responsibility in the first place?  :?

In a word, yes - it was hacking in to their phone messages. Yes it is as illegal and sleazy as it sounds.

Now that is a very good question!

Wow! What a concept! Corruption in politics. Surely, a brand new thing the likes of which the world has never seen.

Actually, this one is puzzling (read the article).

Why would the prime minister give "a second chance" to someone by adding him to his inner circle after a scandal?  It isn't corrupt politics.  It is puzzling politics.  The prime minister had to know that this sort of thing would happen...right?     :scratch:

Wasn't the phone "hacking" more social engineering than actual technological wizardry?  Or am I confusing my scandals?

Perhaps the individual had some embarrassing information about the PM?

Congrats....I just hope Rodgers doesnt play like that against the Jets/Steelers.  Ummm...let me rephrase that statement.  If the Steelers make it to the Super Bowl, I hope Rodgers has a record setting performance, throws for 7 touchdowns, and rushes for 130 yards.  If the Jets go, I hope he is sacked twelve times, tosses 3 interceptions and throws for -32 yards.  :twisted:

Yeah, I kept thinking the Jets were going to come back and tie it up and then Rapistberger drops the ball in the end zone and the Jets come up with a safety.  I figured the way NY was playing over their heads that they were going to come back and win.  But stupid play calling on the Jets part on both sides of the ball doomed them....again.

Maybe Big Ben will break his pelvis getting out of his jacuzzi this weekend.  8)

Really bad play calling on the goal line doomed the Jets.

Another typical Steelers win - fluke defensive plays.  How many pick sixes did the Steelers have this year?

The early line is the Packers giving the Steelers 3 points.

I'm taking Pittsburgh and the points $$$.
