I'm With Tone
Apparently he's a Rams fan and has been text messaging Steve Spagnuolo all week.
IMO, tomorrow night's Rams-Seahawks game is going to tank nationally, but I think it'll be the team's highest-rated local game. The media has done their part in making sure that nobody pays attention to it by acting like it'll be a travesty of the highest order for either team to make the playoffs.

I'm looking forward to it. These winner-take-all games are exciting. Who cares what Peter King thinks? About anything.

Re: I'm With Tone
ESPN did a great job of ignoring the game this morning. There were at least 3 mentions of Favre's junk before Rams/Seahawks was even mentioned. For the record, the first time it was discussed was an hour and a half into the show, and the discussion started with derision from Berman.
It was the lead story on FOX, but I suspect Howie might have had something to do with that.

Re: I'm With Tone
The NFC West is being treated with the same amount of scorn usually saved for child molesters. Yes, it will wind up being one of the worst divisions of all-time, but the 2008 AFC West finished a combined 23-41 and hardly took this kind of abuse. And I don't recall people pouting about how the rules needed to be changed because 12-4 Indianapolis had to play at San Diego in the first round.
Granted, no team has the same talent as those 8-8 Chargers, but that makes what happened even more pathetic because of their bumbling, underachieving head coach.

As of today, we have a new trivia question, BTW.
Which is the first team since the merger to sweep its division and not qualify for the playoffs?

Re: I'm With Tone
I'm guessing that team is in Oakland.
I also read that Tom Cable is going to be fired.

I forgot how much it hurts to lose a football game. I have the urge to go out like that guitarist from Def Leppard.

Supposedly, the Raiders don't want to lose Hue Jackson, so they'll hold onto Cable.
Here's a novel idea - why not fire Cable and promote Jackson?

Which one? The guy who drank himself into oblivion or the one who drank himself to death?

Steve Clark. I've always wanted to see what it was like to replace my blood with alcohol.

The only advantage I can determine is there's a lesser chance of freezing to death.
