Hey! I'll actually get to watch another live game on real TV

So what’s the official spread for this game? 17? 21? more?

"It's probably similar to being in New York City and having a cab driver behind you and you're driving too slow. It's not the most pleasant thing."

Barry Sanders, on what defensive backs who played against him compared him to.

Wow. That's a lot.

Is Smith playing today? I’d really like to see Stanton in by the half. I’ll guess 38-17

Davenport returns the kick to the 21

Should’ve been tackled inside the 20.

Manning's pass is dropped by Rhodes

He was wide open about 5 yards off the LOS.

Rhodes runs for about 9 yards

Somehow managed to find his way through the defense for a solid gain.

draft talk

whats everybody’s thoughts for our number 1 pick? i’d still like an o-line men but the experts are starting to sweat bradford big time.

Lions + Heisman QB = epic fail

stafford would be better i think

by giggy09 on Dec 14, 2008 1:19 PM EST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

OT

I don’t want a QB, at least not in the first-round. The QBs coming out this year don’t seem like pro-style QBs. Stafford probably is, but I think he’s overrated.

Manning was sacked and appeared to be losing control of the ball as he went down

White had the ball on the ground, and he may have taken it away from him. I’m still waiting to decide what exactly happened since Fox isn’t showing a damn replay.

Manning tried to gain possession again and may or may not have. White did come away with it for sure.
