Not in any particular order:
1. Kaipo-Noa Kaheaku-Enhada to Tyree Barnes (Navy Midshipmen)
Since when does Navy pass the ball? Ever?
2. David Carr to ground (Houston Texans)
As if this wasn't obvious enough.
3. Jake Delhomme to opponent (Carolina Panthers)
Same rule applies here.
4. Vinny Testaverde to Jumbo Elliott (New York Jets)
How did Testaverde find the time to move around enough to throw to the fat man?
5. Peyton Manning to Dan Klecko (Indianapolis Colts)
Since when does Peyton Manning throw passes to people not named Reggie Wayne or Marvin Harrison?
Your opinion?

random thoughts on the divisional round
My opinions and thoughts while watching the divisional round of the playoffs:
1) Is there a better story then New Orleans?
2) Philly would have to be the 2nd best story.
3) What if Drew Brees went to Miami instead of Culpepper?
4) How did Schottenheimer choke again?
5) Will lack of talent ever come to haunt New England as long as they have Brady and Belichick?
6) Are the Pats the best sports dynasty in the salary cap era, ever?
7) Indianapolis allowed every team they played to rush for 100 yds in regular season. In the postseason they have allowed 127...combined.
8) Maybe Baltimore can't win it all with mediocre offense again.
9) Good thing the Colts have Vinatieri, not Vanderjagt.
10) What happened to the defense of Da Bears?
11) Will the real Rex Grossman please show up; one week good, one week bad, this week both.
12) What if Seattle was healthy?

Divisional Picks II
Bal -6 Indy
Baltimore has a decent offense and a good defense. Indy has a powerful offense and no defense. However, the over/under for Peyton Manning chokes this weekend is .5, and I've got $10 on the over.
Baltimore 27 - Indianapolis 17
NO -6 Philly
MVP Candidate vs. Perennial backup. Two backs vs. one back. America vs. Philadelphia.
New Orleans 34 - Philadelphia 21
Chi -8.5 Sea
It will be close. It will be low scoring. It will be uninteresting.
Chicago 17 - Seattle 10
SD -5 NE
LDT will run all over the depleted Pats.
San Diego 35 - New England 20

Divisional Picks I
PLAYOFFS?!
YOU WANNA TALK ABOUT PLAYLOFFS?!
Yes, Jim Mora, I do.
So now we have completed 1 week of the postseason, and we have the 8 "best" teams remaining. If we really wanted the 8 best teams, then only AFC teams should be left. But the reason it is called the second season is so you can have a second season, NFC teams. Those 4 teams remaining from the Nauseating Football Conference can forget about the regular season and redeem themselves. Well, it's a perfect chance for the top 2 seeds in the NFC to prove themselves worthy opponents for the AFC, the better conference. So here are my picks for this week (picks based on spread).
NO -6 PHI
Try saying Jeff Garcia is a Super Bowl quarterback 5 times. Thought so, it just doesnt make any sense. Now he has played great, but the Saints will be emotional, play with pride, and have the whole country rooting for them. They have magic in them.
Saints 28 Eagles 20
BAL -6 IND
This seems like such a great matchup at first. The unstoppable force (Colts offense) vs. the immovable object (Ravens defense). However, people forget to realize this is the playoffs and as usual, Peyton will turn into his little brother, making this game the stoppable force vs. the immovable object. Ravens rattle Peyton, and have no problem.
Ravens 23 Colts 6
CHI -8.5 SEA
Due to a depleted secondary, the Seahawks will be lucky to find 4 DB's to play for them. However, lucky for them they play Rex Grossman, who cant even shred the Bears practice squad defense. Eventually this game will come down to the Bears defense and Devin Hester. I believe the Bears defense has enough in them for at least 1 more week, and scores at least 1 TD.
Bears 13 Seahawks 10
SD -5 NE
As usual we can expect Marty Schottenheimer to go into his playoff cocoon, but this time he has LaDainian Tomlinson. Last time I checked, LDT wins ballgames, and this week is no different. Expect a huge day, at least 150 yds and 2 TD's.
Chargers 34 Patriots 20

Matt Villain
Why hasn't Matt Millen been shot by people living in Detroit yet? Does anyone have any faith in him outside of himself?
Let's look at some information to explain why Millen should be gone by now.
Record over six seasons: 24-72, the worst winning percentage of any NFL team in that time span.
1st round draft picks in his tenure:
2001 - Jeff Backus, OT, Michigan
He's put together a decent career.
2002 - Joey Harrington, QB, Oregon
Bust.
2003 - Charles Rogers, WR, Michigan State
Pretty much a bust.
2004 - Kevin Jones, HB, Virginia Tech
Pretty good, not outstanding.
2004 - Roy Williams, WR, Texas
He's probably the best of the first rounders in the Millen era.
2005 - Mike Williams, WR, USC
Not so great yet, but the jury's still out on him.
2006 - Ernie Sims, OLB, Florida State
Good rookie year, could pan out well.
Six offensive players.
Three wide receivers.
Two busts.
Not good.
Maybe he'll put his head on straight this coming April and draft Brady Quinn like we say he should.
After firing former Jets defensive coordinator Donnie Henderson, the Lions hired Joe Barry as their defensive coordinator. Barry is the son-in-law of head coach Rod Marinelli, so don't look for Millen to be giving anyone, except maybe Mike Martz, the boot anytime soon.
On the Detroit Lions official site, a headline following a close Lions loss to the Bears read as such:
Punter Nick Harris and Detroit's Special Teams Units Have Compiled Another Solid Season
Now, I don't remember 3-13 being a solid season. Even the Giants' 8-8 this year was paltry. If 3-13 is solid, 10-6 must be the apocalypse.
Everyone's been saying it for years, and I'll say it too:
Fire Matt Millen.

Baseball =/= Football
Something that is very disturbing when watching a football game, is when baseball terms are used. There is a reason they are different sports, and the same words shouldn't be said for both. Here are a few examples and why they should not be used.
Well...
Here are some baseball terms used in football:
Home run: A big pass play is hitting the homerun
Home run hitter: A big play reciever is the team's home run hitter
Pitching a shutout: Allowing the opponent 0 points
Extra innings: Overtime (said in Fiesta Bowl)
Center field: A safety standing in the deep middle of the field in zone coverage
And here is why those terms should not be used in football:
1) You can't pitch a shut out the same game a home run is it, but in football you can.
2) I have never seen a home run hit in extra innings by the home team not end the game, but in football...
3) The center fielder normally plays offense and defense, but in football...
My solution. Football is football, unless it's... football. On a more serious note, leave baseball to baseball and football to football. There's a reason why for every 3-run HR announcers don't say "and there's a field goal."
Well...
