AFC / NFC 2011/12 Championship Games: Believed to be one of the few — if not only — “flying dumps” ever recorded.

Sabol said the most impressive dunk he ever saw came at the end of Super Bowl XXXVII, when a group of Tampa Bay Buccaneers players carried a bucket as they ran behind Coach Jon Gruden, who was excitedly sprinting down the sideline.

Sabol said the NFL Films cameramen were running alongside the group, too, giving the entire sequence a certain “National Geographic as an antelope is being stalked quality.” Finally the players dropped the liquid on Gruden as he leaped in the air, providing what Sabol said he believed to be one of the few — if not only — “flying dumps” ever recorded.

“It was impressive,” he said.

I'd never want to hear the name Harbaugh again after the two weeks of hype leading up to kickoff. That said, this is 49ers/Pats.

still going with my start-of-the-playoffs pick: ravens and giants

Not quite as good as "Giant Jerk Shoots Himself," but, hey, they can't all be winners.

I really don't like 3 of the 4 clubs, so the odds that I am good with the results will not be that likely.

49ers impressed me last week. They got a bit of everything. I think the game with the Giants being a pretty much total pickem, as the NY passing game definitely has more horse power and their running game has come along. Then again the Niners went toe to toe and beat the best offense this year with the Saints. Close game, but I'm leaning SF by a field goal.

I could see Baltimore knocking off NE, but I have seen them play way too stupid and bad at points to think they can get it done, even though the Pats defense isn't like the old days. Give me NE, but it could be close.

49srs

pats

srs?

ers

pats 9rs - these are my 2 fav teams btw

I don't love any of it really.

Kinda want Giants Pats, in the hope that Eli beats them AGAIN and the Patriots burst into flames, lol.

Maybe 9ers Pats? I dunno that the 9ers have any more games in them like last weekend though...I kinda want them to go just to get creamed.

i don't want the Giants (sorry mom) cuz I don't respect this squad like I did 2007's.

I want 49ers-Patriots and the 9ers to fuck the shit out of the Patsies

Pats overwhelm teams 9 out of 10 times*. Hoping for giants/pats rematch.

*fake statistics!

Is Victor Cruz about to eat those people falling from the streetcar?

It's OK Sean. I understand that u hate Boston. ;)

Nice sack!

I did not really blast it BTW.

don't believe u

how come I have never seen Flacco's stupid mustache before

maybe Bledsoe still thinks they might put him in?

Go Law Firm!

I would like some Gronk pls

some fat guys seem to have stumbled onto the field

The Ravens are crushing the Pats so far, the Pats need a TD here to crush their spirit.

otm

any given sunday, iirc

there are years where 'the best team probably won the super bowl' and there are years where a good team that had the right combination of health/luck/momentum wins the super bowl. this year is gonna be #2.

where's ally when you really need her?

you may find her thoughts on manning's mind here

it was an up-and-down day

why doesn't she post on ILNFL anymore? we scare her away? she was hilarious.

I don't own a computer and it is super hard to follow this on a phone! Hi y'all! Mookie summoned me! I watched the game yesterday with a passel of niners fans!

hey what's up!

omg ally!!! congrats to your giants! missed you!

did they throw beer bottles at you?

in sum, nfl football is v hard to figure out, pls accept the mystery

there are not enough games basically is the thing

hay schef

there are not enough games basically is the thing

yeah in order to really get a good set of data you'd need teams to play like 100 games, but if teams played like 100 games (or even 30) everyone would probably die. it's like the schrondinger's cat of sports.

i think ochocinco is this year's schrodinger's cat

it was sad during the last game when phil simms was all ochocinco is inactive today because he attended the funeral of his father yesterday, then he goes I think thats why hes inactive :(

o shit is that what happened?

i assumed mcdaniels had just finished writing him out after the denver game

it mightve been his grandfather idk

surprised the sith lord doesn't have ocho playing db just because he can

giants win and they establish long term domination
giants lose and it's still 1-1 in the superbowl
PATS LOSE EITHER WAY
*think about it*

this is almost right tho really the crux of it is that even if the pats win they havnet beaten an undefeated giants team, a perfect season is like winning 3 superbowls, I'll take some measure of solace if they destroy them and Eli has 6 interceptions and poops his pants and crys, otherwise it's not really revenge, tho it is a superbowl win which is p sweet, also would unequivocally punch the pats dynasty ticket, but no im not really pumped for this matchup

i will dance like a fool if the giants beat the pats again.

ill prob just murder/suicide eli

omg don't do it jho!

i don't really care, but lag∞n (harder to type than icey) otm

mans got to do xp

There definitely have been seasons though where you pretty much knew the 2 or 3 teams that would be in the Superbowl.

Pretty much the early 90s were that way as the Cowboys and 49ers were so much better than everyone else. Giants knocked off the Niners one year that was unexpected. At the same time the Bills pretty much were a huge step over everyone else in the AFC.

Pretty much Steelers, Raiders, Dolphins, Cowboys and Vikings dominated the 70s. That's nine of the winners and almost all of the teams that made it there. Redskins, Rams and Broncos made it and lost once and I think that's it. Oh yeah the Colts beat the Cowboys in the fugly bowl.

nfl football is v hard to figure out. if jason pierre-paul doesnt block that fg wk 14 @ dallas AND/OR if romo doesnt overthrow miles austin wide open earlier that 4th qtr this season may have ended w/ firing coughlin, to the delight of many nyg fans (not me).

^it gets better. if you remember against arizona early in the season Victor Cruz went down without being touched on a catch in the late fourth quarter and just dropped the ball. Like he was in college or something. The refs came up with a doozy of a call and said it wasnt a fumble.Giants go on to score and win the game.

^ jk about the computer thing, this is why I left

seriously though this is what I was up against on Sunday

i remember early in the season there was a tectonic shift that was THIS close to an earthquake that would've swallowed the city of New York and there's no way the Giants go to the Superbowl if it does

if 9/11 had just been done RIGHT we never would've won in 2007 OR be in the Super Bowl this year

I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT

lol

awesome

thread delivers

schef just parroting the discussion in Boston today

http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/Report-Gronkowski-has-ligament-damage-in-ankle.html

gronk has ankle ligament injury. will probably play, won't be 100%

I predict he fights it out like a trooper.
