    Marlon Wayans is good in my book. The 6th Man was awesome.

    My wife and I went to Hec Ed to be "extras" in that movie. Never saw the movie, because the whole day ended up being a miserable fucking experience - no real food and no breaks. We finally got up and left.

    All the experts on here had the Seahawks in a "close" game. That's not a correct prediction. I only remember Race and myself picking them in a blowout. Y'all watched every game and didn't know shit about your own team.

    ESPN isn't about sports news. They're sports entertainment and almost to a man they do whatever it takes to cater to the majority of their viewing audience. They felt that the audience wanted to gargle Manning's jizz for a couple of weeks so that's what they served up. Game day results don't really matter compared to the two weeks prior.

    I'm sure everyone remembers when ESPN held their best NCAA football team of all time tournament. It was the year that SC lost to Texas in the title game. They had obviously made up their mind that SC was going to win their mock tournament. Analysis had no part in it. It was purely viewership driven. The 91 Huskies were the first "matchup" for SC in that tournament and Herbstreit smugly dismissed that UW team like they didn't belong on the field with the mighty Trojans.

    The funny thing was that SC had was all offense that year and their defense was inept against good teams. It was not the best SC team of the Carroll era by a long shot. They won the ESPN "tournament" and then Vince Young completely embarrassed the SC defense in the title game. It was a close offensive battle but they had no answer for him whatsoever.

    I guess my point is that out of all the ESPN "analysts" there had to be some guys who recognized the shortcomings of that team, but that had nothing to do with how they wrote their show. That would be an issue if it was a news and analysis channel, but it isn't.

    Yep. I am glad you brought that up. After moving '05 USC past the '91 Dawgs, they matched up against the '97 Michigan team. Mark May went on to say that Charles Woodson wouldn't have been able to cover Dwayne Jarrett. Herbstreit agreed with him. lmao

    We aren't experts and nor claim to be. We are just a bunch of guys in our parents basements with boners in our sweatpants. You need to learn the difference.

    notice how no one is complaining about score predictions, I heard a guy on CBS, I think his name was Will Brinson or something say the speed of the seahawks could cause trouble, but the denver offense will ultimately be too much, 30-27 or something. That's fine. What everyone is talking about is the half assed coverage that leads to the statements like Wilson is a game manager and shit like that

    In your FACE, Marlon Wayans.

    the irony is that wayans' quote ("a good defense always beats a good offense...except with peyton manning") was the precise narrative 90% of the experts/media. it probably would've helped to have watched more than 2-3 seattle games prior to making a pick b/c if you did, you could see a clear hawk victory coming down the road.

    No. Every year they pick a winner and a loser. Most happened to pick Denver....big fucking deal. This shit happens all the time but apparently Seahawk fans vaginas get infected if that happens.

    But Seattle was the better team by every possible metric. Every advanced stat said Seattle would win, historical comparisons of great offenses meeting great defenses said Seattle would win, even Vegas had Seattle favored at the very beginning. And despite all this, and despite Seattle being the significantly healthier team to boot, almost every national analyst picked the Broncos - the ESPN "experts" tally was something like 31 picked Denver and 9 picked the Hawks. Their local "blogger" beat writers were about 50-50 - the local guys were far superior to the alleged experts because they actually watch the games. It's not sand in the vajayjay to ask the "experts" to have a fucking clue what they're talking about.

    OTOH, at least Bill Barnwell had the game dialed in.

    Tommy missed all that because he's a fucking goat.

    Most "happened to" pick Denver because they're fucking retards, Tommy. Way to climb on the short bust with them, though.

    Congratulations?

    Hey retard....the point isn't that either team was picked or why, it's that Seattle fans have this inert need to be respected and when they don't get their cock sucked, they whine like little bitches.


    You telling me you would have even given it a thought if it was the 49ers instead of Seattle? No fucking way. Wash it out you pussy.

    You were also the same guy saying the regular season didn't matter at all. Except for that it did. By having homefield the NFC title game was in Seattle not SF and by having HF the the 49ers had played their fourth straight road game in four weeks.

    I'd leave the NFL talk to others.

    The press would have been gobbling 49er cock in equal proportions to Peyton Manning's. There would have been nothing to complain about other than the media catering to the lowest common denominator of football fans rather than people who actually know something about the game and would like to know more.
