Mr. Scot

Looked to me like Olsen was held

Which team has a black cat for a mascot again?

Wow

Coughlin played for the field goal. He must not have any balls

Manning has to wonder what's happening to his OL

Nice to see someone else shoot themselves in the foot for once

Ugh. Newton shouldn't have thrown that. LaFell and the OL fail too.

Wondering how long the front seven can keep this up. Will they still be this good late?

Oh heck no. Crazy crap happens to everybody, even good teams. Doesn't excuse it, but we're far from unique.

Wrong, It's on Brockel.

Senn, Brockel and Norman...arrrrrgh

Not a matter of balls on this one. In the game situation, that was the right call.

Right play call and good decision by Tolbert

Going for it here is the right call.

Some of those are pretty cool. Others, meh.

USC did legitimately get the NCAA backhand. Speculation that Oregon will too. Detractors of Carroll and Chip Kelly will say that's why they headed to the NFL. Don't know that there's any validity to that. To be honest, don't really care. Seems like half the programs in the NCAA have something funky going on these days.

Rule violations help too To be fair though, i guess that could also be said in the pros (right, Mr Belichick?) People sometimes compare NFL Free Agency to college recruiting. I'm on the fence as to whether or not that's a good parallel. Yeah, they're both situations where you're trying to sell your program, but in college there's no discussion of how much you're gonna be paid. (officially)

While I'm at it, worth mentioning that when Steve Spurrier announced his intention to coach in the NFL, the Panthers reportedly did interview him for their then vacant head coaching spot. Although I don't know that it was ever discussed in public, some team sources said privately that the Spurrier interview was a disaster on par with the Hindenburg

Hard to say. One thing I know for sure though: You need a strong coach on the opposite side of the ball to be at your best. I'm reminded though of a few years back when a Brian Billick coached Ravens squad was set to face off against a Colts team with Tony Dungy at the helm. Billick was quoted as saying that the football gods must have had a really twisted sense of humor to give him that Ravens defense and Tony Dungy that Peyton Manning led offense

I remember the talk about Carroll back in the day. It was all pretty much 'great coordinator, lousy head coach'. Part of me has a morbid curiosity about what would happen if Rivera took a college HC position. Wish I could remember who said it, but I remember the day the news broke that Carroll had taken the USC job, there was someone on sports radio predicting he'd be a miserable failure. 'College coaching isn't like NFL coaching' he said. A true statement, but something tells me he'd like to that that opinion back

A lot of talk about what kind of coach the Panthers should hire (if Rivera is out). Let's look at where the rest of the league is. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ First off, offense vs defense: OFFENSIVE COACHES: Andy Reid Bruce Arians Chip Kelly Doug Marrone Gary Kubiak Jason Garrett Jim Harbaugh Joe Philbin Marc Trestman Mike McCarthy Mike McCoy Mike Munchak Mike Shanahan Rob Chudzinski Sean Payton Tom Coughlin DEFENSIVE COACHES: Bill Belichick Chuck Pagano Dennis Allen Greg Schiano Gus Bradley Jeff Fisher Jim Schwartz John Fox Leslie Frazier Marvin Lewis Mike Smith Mike Tomlin Pete Carroll Rex Ryan Ron Rivera SPECIAL TEAMS COACHES: John Harbaugh ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Next question...What were they doing before they were hired for their current job? NFL DEFENSIVE COORDINATORS (10) Chuck Pagano Dennis Allen Gus Bradley Jim Schwartz Leslie Frazier Marvin Lewis Mike Smith Mike Tomlin Rex Ryan Ron Rivera NFL OFFENSIVE COORDINATORS (7) Bruce Arians Gary Kubiak Jason Garrett Joe Philbin Mike McCarthy Mike McCoy Rob Chudzinski NFL HEAD COACHES (5) Andy Reid (formerly a Quarterback Coach) Jeff Fisher (former Defensive Coordinator) John Fox (former Defensive Coordinator) Mike Shanahan (former Offensive Coordinator) Tom Coughlin (former College Head Coach, NFL position coach) NFL POSITION COACHES (3) Bill Belichick Mike Munchak Sean Payton COLLEGE HEAD COACHES (5) Chip Kelly Doug Marrone Greg Schiano Jim Harbaugh Pete Carroll OTHER (2) John Harbaugh (NFL Special Teams Coach) Marc Trestman (CFL Head Coach) NOTES: - Bill Belichick had been both an NFL head coach and a defensive coordinator before becoming coach of the Patriots. - Bruce Arians was an interim head coach while Chuck Pagano was ill, but his official position was still as an OC. - Tom Coughlin and Jim Harbaugh both had experience coaching in the NFL before getting their college head coaching jobs. - Likewise, Pete Carroll had been an NFL head coach twice as well as a very successful defensive coordinator before coaching USC. - John Harbaugh has experience coaching in all phases of the game, but made his name in the pros coaching special teams. - Marc Trestman had several years experience as an offensive coach in the NFL before going to Canada. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ And finally, let's take a look at who's been competing in - and winning - the big game over the last decade: 2013 - John Harbaugh defeated Jim Harbaugh 2012 - Tom Coughlin defeated Bill Belichick 2011 - Mike McCarthy defeated Mike Tomlin 2010 - Sean Payton defeated Tony Dungy 2009 - Mike Tomlin defeated Ken Whisenhunt 2008 - Tom Coughlin defeated Bill Belichick 2007 - Tony Dungy defeated Lovie Smith 2006 - Mike Tomlin defeated Mike Holmgren 2005 - Bill Belichick defeated Andy Reid 2004 - Bill Belichick defeated John Fox 2003 - Jon Gruden defeated Bill Callahan 2002 - Bill Belichick defeated Dick Vermeil 2001 - Brian Billick defeated Jim Fassel 2000 - Dick Vermeil defeated Jeff Fisher ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Breaking it down... Numbers tell you the best position to get an NFL head coaching job from is still a pro coordinator (DCs beat OCs by a narrow margin). Guys like Nick Saban, Bobby Petrino and Steve Spurrier made it tough for college coaches to get a look for a while there. Jim Harbaugh and Pete Carroll may be helping rebuild their image, though truthfully, it's kind of a misnomer to refer to Pete Carroll as a college coach. He had loads of experience as an NFL coach (including two head coaching stints) but his rep had taken a hit before he did some image rehab at USC. Harbaugh and Coughlin aren't exactly pure college coaches either. Coughlin was a pro position coach before going to Boston College. Harbaugh had a few years on the Raiders staff, but was a pro player for way longer than he was a pro coach (his last year was with the Panthers). Doug Marrone and Greg Schiano have pro experience too: Schiano spent three years as a Chicago Bears defensive assistant (Ron Rivera was also on staff for the last two of those) and Doug Marrone had a three year stint as OC for the New Orleans Saints. The only pure college coach on the list: Chip Kelly, whose grade so far is most definitely an incomplete. Click here to view the article

Like? Eeeeehhh no. Get drawn into in the "can't stop staring at the train wreck" fashion? Far too often In any case, I was just giving Floppin a hard time (which I think he understood).

So is this video about her masturbating on a wrecking ball or something? What exactly do you call that? Twrecking?

Ya know, ya can't 'unsee' stuff... I really wish people would ponder that fact for a few moments when they post things on here

Am I the only one who doesn't get this commercial?
