  1. I said good for Josh Cribbs. He'll cash in big with a better team. Although iv'e read he wants to be a Brown for life. I could see him becoming a Steeler who desperately need some help on the special teams side of the ball. Or maybe a team like Miami to further there wildcat.

    Edit: also, anyone think with Charlie Weiss becoming the new O-Coordinator of the Cheifs, they actually pull the trigger and draft Jimmy Clausen to backup Cassel?

    SUPER BOWL

    San Diego Vs. New Orleans

    Wildcard round was pretty easy to predict. Carson and the boys are going to take that thrashing by the Jets personal from last week, and in the memory of Chris Henry, lay the smackdown on the Jets. Dallas beats Philly for the third time this year. Yeah, I said it, three times. It's the Boys year and they're not backing down. I just can't bet against Tom Brady in this one against the Ravens. The Ravens offense showed me they weren't up to par last week against a lack luster Raiders team. Arizona is suspect, and with no Aquan Boldin I think Aaron Rodgers finally has his coming out party.

    Divisional Round was much easier to predict. New Orleans and Indy are much to strong for there wild card winning opponents. While I wanted to go for Brett Favre climbing the mountain once more, the Boys are peaking at the right time while the Vikes are fading down the stretch. Granted, they just beat the Giants, but then again, who can't now a days? San Diego is too good for anyone these days. With the loss of Wes Welker and an already suspect defense, the Pats won't stick around with the Bolts for too long.

    While I want to predict a defensive battle for the Saints and Boys in the NFC title game, I just can't. The Cowboys backfield is amazingly suspect and I think Drew Brees is going to tare them apart, piece by piece. Look for Tony Romo to have a good game too, but a few good plays by Darren Sharper should seal the win for the Saints. I also look for the Chargers to out the Colts for the third year in a row. They're just too good, there is no way I can bet against them in any game.

    The Superbowl. Drew Brees against his old team. The team that thought he was washed up and so they let him go in favor of Rivers. Well it seems like it's going to work out well for both teams as they will meet in the Superbowl this year. San Diego is just good on too many fronts and a dwindling L.T. will finally get his ring, and Phillip Rivers will solidify himself as a top tier QB in the NFL for years to come.

  3. Durant is finally coming into his own and I love it. Watching him develop has been a fantastic journey. While he's not quite in the top 3-5 in the NBA yet, he's cracked the top 10. Watch out for him and Russell Westbrook to carry that Thunder team for a long time. If only they could solidify a big man in the next couple years and they could be REALLY dangerous.

  4. Since no one has replied in this thread in over a month, I'll figure that no one likes the NBA anymore. With that said, how much of an idiot can one Gilbert Arenas be? The face of the Washington franchise, one of the biggest contracts in the entire NBA and you bring not one gun, but THREE guns into your teams locker room? This guy must really have no shame and think he is above and beyond any other player in the NBA.

    I could deal with his previous antics like ball hogging, thinking he's god's gift to the NBA, when in reality he's a close second best player on his own team. After seeing what happened to Plaxico Burress last year, wouldn't you think these sports stars would have learned there lesson?. Granted, he says the guns weren't loaded, and he says he didn't pull them on fellow team mate Javaris Crittenton, but, knowing David Sterns strict policy on violence, This won't go well on Gilbert. He truly defined himself as being "Agent 0"

  5. I own Madonna's Music album. I don't see a problem with that. <_<

    Edit: In fact, I think i'll go listen to it right now.

    :wub:

  6. The problem with the RB1/Rb2 feature is EA set up RB2 as the fullback. It makes no absolute sense at all. Which is why you see some FB's getting insane amounts of carries each season.

    So to counter this problem, just go to the depth chart and put your number to RB to FB

  7. In my opinion, after reading previews for both games i would say that i am very impressed with the strides that both EA and 2K have made with there hockey franchises. Here is a quick rundown of improvements of both games.

    NHL 08

    * Improved Gameplay: With the new addition of the playbook creator, and the improved defensive A.I. this game plays like NHL hockey more than ever before. Teams adjust to your schemes, which means you must exploit there defense with new plays, line mix ups and strategy like never before

    * Franchise Mode: With the addition of a longer franchise( Last year only 10 years). And the addition of the AHL leauge, which means you can call up and send down players to the minor leauge just like in real life. BTW you can also play as the AHL teams which is a nice added bonus.

    * Real NHL Look: Of course EA brings back great graphics to the table, but with so many different types of skates, sticks, goalie equipment and player gear, along with the new NHL jerseys, (some players even wear there jerseys tucked in!) Create a player and team have been revamped also, making it the most deepest ever.

    NHL 2K8

    *Improved Graphics: Finnaly, 2K sports goes next gen with the graphics!. 2K sports has never looked so good on the Xbox 360 and PS3(Sorry current gen owners, still the same). With 2k signature style, almost every player has been face mapped to there exact likeliness, players have there signature skates, jersey type, sticks, helmets, goalie gear and much more!

    *Gameplay: 2K returns with more great realistic gameplay, this time finnaly adding Special moves!!!. Adding moves like Sweden 94, batters up and much more this looks like the most exciting 2k hockey game ever.

    *Franchise Mode: Realistic salary cap features, player negotiations actually is a tug of war battle featuring you, the player, your owner and the players agent. Player progression and player types have been tottaly revamped. Ice time, chemistry, awards, performance and winning now all factor into player development to determine what type of player you will get.

    All in all both games look great, which are you most excited for?
