NFL - Are you Ready For Some Football?! - Wild Card Round!

Gatorade showers are getting pathetic.

After a Wildcard playoff game?!?!?!

ACK!

[Imran Siddiqui]

It's the freaking Cardinals!!

If anyone deserves to Gatorade shower after a WC playoff game, it's them!

[Ben Kenobi]

Actually they were. Good enough for a Super Bowl. And as I stated, that is just one of the factors.

Obviously without McMahon they would have failed to qualify.

McMahon had both leadership skills and knew how to win. Something Flutie NEVER had in the NFL.

Took a hapless chargers team to improve by 7 wins, at the age of 40. I don't think leadership was the problem. He mentored Brees, who is only one of the better QBs in the game.

May want to check your numbers:

At age 40, Flutie played a single game for the Chargers. At age 39, he took the team to a 5-11 record. In 2003 (age 41), he played 7 games for a 4-12 Chargers team. And in 2004, he only played 2 games (and started only 1 of those 2) for the 12-4 Chargers.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Former New York Giant Mark Ingram was arrested in Michigan, nearly a month after he disappeared on the day he was scheduled to begin serving a prison sentence for bank fraud and money laundering.

U.S. marshals tracked the retired wide receiver to a hotel room in Flint, Mich., after a manhunt that began when he failed to turn up at a federal prison in Kentucky on Dec. 5.

A spokesman for the Marshals Service in New York, Timothy Hogan, said Ingram was arrested Friday without incident. The hotel wasn't far from Ingram's home in Grand Blanc, Mich.

Ingram, who has been in and out of jail since his playing career ended in 1996, pleaded guilty in 2005 to cashing counterfeit checks and laundering money he believed to be proceeds from narcotics deals.

Before his flight, the 1991 Super Bowl standout had sought to delay the start of his nearly eight-year prison term so he could watch his son's freshman season as a running back at the University of Alabama.

His arrest came just before the start of his son's biggest game: A Sugar Bowl matchup against Utah, which Alabama lost 31-17.

Marshals also had been looking for Ingram in New Orleans, where the game was played, Hogan said.

Ingram's attorney, Raymond Colon, did not immediately return phone and e-mail messages on Saturday.

Ingram spent six seasons with the Giants. He also played for Miami, Green Bay and Philadelphia in his 10-year career.

He is scheduled to appear in a federal court in Michigan on Monday. Ingram will travel to New York, where he was prosecuted, to face charges related to his flight.

So I guess those were dog wins?

Or, Flutie was such a great leader, he could lead from the sidelines. With a clipboard in his hand.

I hate to rain on your parade, Imran, but Arizona didn't get where they are by being crappy. The Falcons did well this year, considering that they had the same allegedly terrible receivers that Vick had.

[Koyaanisqatsi]

Wow, a coin flip knocked both the Pats and Colts out of the playoffs...

(yeah, yeah, I know...the point stands.)

[Guynemer]

Weren't all the away teams supposed to win this weekend?

[SlowwHand]

"Supposed to win"? How do they get to that?
Chargers won basically without Tomlinson. I wonder WTF that means?

It means they were supposed to score more points than the home teams.

ACK!

[SlowwHand]

San Diego was the home team. They did score more, without Tomlinson.
I'm glad, I guess. "New" blood in the playoffs.

[Tuberski]

The point he was trying to make is that all the visiting teams were favored when the lines came out.

So far, neither visiting team has won.

ACK!

[SlowwHand]

Well thanks, Tuber. I'm glad I finally understand.
So now, I guess Peyton is back to being worthless. Was Flutie better?
