I'm having internet problems so forgive me if i don't reply.

The SOUTH CAROLINA GAMECOCKS WILL BEAT IOWA!!!

There I said it. I wish I could see the game. When I saw the matchup I immediately thought of Shake. This fanpost is not even close to max words so I shall explain why we will beat them.

The Gamecocks defense is good, real good with the exception of the Florida game. Florida demolished everyone. We will not be starting Chris Smelley at quarterback. I swear to god if we do we will lose. He lost the Clemson game single handedly. We need to start Stephen Garcia. Garcia is good. He was one of the top 3 QB's coming out of highschool. He is a redshirt freshman and should start against Iowa. He tends to run too early but that can be fixed.

Shake, if the Gamecocks lose I will admit defeat. But I hope this turns out to be a good game.

Peyton has had many, many great football moments. He is also the most used NFL player in commercials (I made that up but it sounds right). When I googled Peyton Manning Commercials I saw just what I was getting into with this post. I decided to follow through because the world needs to see all these commercials again. These commercials (mostly commercials) are not in any particular order because you can't rank Peytons awesomeness. Here they are in no particular order:

This one is one of my faves, if you like 6 foot laser rocket arms.

GO PEYTON!!! AND GO COLTS!!!!!!!

Titans Schedule

@Jacksonville Jaguars--Jacksonville are getting back on track and last weeks close win against the Bears show that the Titans are beatable. Add in the fact that the Jaguars are at home and this could be Tennessee's first loss

New York Jets--Jets are not to be fooled with. Could go either way.

@Detroit Lions--Titans win obviously.

Cleveland Browns--They beat the giants. I hope the Titans sleep on them and lose.

@Houston Texans--Division matchup where the Titans will be looking ahead to the Steelers game but Houston will be focused on Tennessee. Titans win but it will be close.

Pittsburgh Steelers--Steelers are a great matchup for Titans. Steelers will cut out Kerry Collins and stop Lendale and Johnson. Steelers win.

@Indianapolis Colts--I predict Colts get revenge here, that is all.

11-5/10-6 (I can dream cant I?)



Colts Schedule

Houston Texans--We are coming off a big win and the Colts will be pumped.They win handily. i.e rosenfail is playing

@San Diego Chargers--This could go either way but the Chargers are playing worse than the Colts and almost lost to the Chiefs.Colts need every win they can get.

@Cleveland Browns--The Browns are so unpredictable. This could go either way and the Colts will be back in form. Colts win.

Cincinnati Bengals-- Lol Bungles. Colts win

Detroit Lions--Lol Lions. Colts win

@Jacksonville Jaguars--Colts get revenge and win.

Tennessee Titans--Same as above

12-4 / 11-5 (I can dream cant I?)

I wish to put in a request to our game watchers here (shake,bbs, mgrex) to keep an eye on Pittsburgh on MNF tonite (i know, i know....just put him on mute). We play Pittsburgh next weekend and it's a game we can win in my opinion. Big Ben has been sacked 23 times not counting tonight of course. I'm hoping Mathis and Freeney put alot of pressure on him.  I want to know just how good they are. Lets start looking ahead, one game at a time.

You signed him. I don't know which Deltha you're going to get. 10 pick Deltha or the bad one. He has fallen off since 2005.

You had two rookies in your top 4 CBs if i'm not mistaken. This should give you some veteran depth. I don't know much about your defensive backs or who is going to start and if Deltha even comes into the mix of starting.

Give me some info here guys. I like to have as much info as possible on rivals.

Peyton's not worrying tho ;)

Here it is

Everybody has that QB that they love to se fail. Everybody! (say no and you're lying)

I personally have a Top 5.

1. Phillip RIvers - This guy is not as good as the so called experts make him out to be. End of story. He plays for the hated Chargers and gets nothing but love from NFL personnel around the league. He's a choker.

2. Vince Young - I don't "hate him" technically. I hate the thought of him. I hate the way he is defended by Titan homers even though he sucks badly. No accuracy. Just a poor mans Vick.

3. Tom Brady - I love to root against him. The so called "golden boy" of the NFL. Sure you can't deny he is good. But we love to see him fail because he is good. Yea I'm a hater.....what of it?

4. Billy Volek - Kicked the Colts while they were down. All I hear is "Volek beat you. Not Rivers! Billy freakin Volek!" I hate him for this. Played for the Titans AND the Chargers. See him backing up Brady next? There's multiple reasons to root against this guy.

5. Steve McNair - Again I think McNair the guy is a great person but I have hated the Titans for so long and QB=face of franchise. Does not deserve to be in HoF despite Titan Homers swearing up and down that he should. I really hope he doesn't make it there. The fact that he took (yes stole) half of Peytons MVP award got under my skin pretty much.

To sum up my point, I don't hate any of these guys. If any of these guys are playing then I root against them. If its Chargers vs Patriots then I want INT's all around or I will root based on my order here. Rivalry is a part of sports. I don't wish pain or suffering on either one, just extremely bad games.

I told you mine. Tell me yours.

Stay tuned for "Rooting for this guy not named Peyton"

This guy is a douche. A total douche. I'm not one to wish harm on anyone but he was told my 4 doctors that if he gets injured while playing with this injury then his career could possibly be over. As much as I hate this guy I would hate for him to end his career short.

He has decided to skip season ending surgery and play. If I was a Chargers fan then I would be super pissed about this. Why put your career at risk? The Chargers supposedly have a chance at a Super Bowl. They are not that good and beating a severely injured Colts team a super bowl contender does not make.

Advise ( altho it is too late) to Shawne. Take the Surgery!!

If the Colts end his career ( which I hope doesn't happen) then I will feel no pity for Shawne.

I guess you could say that it would be "Lights out" for Merriman and that he will not be a very "Merry Man." Ok, ok, ok, I'm done with that. :)

I would hate to beat the Chargers when they are not full strength, but I would hate it even more if a top caliber player has a career cut short.

Good luck Shawne, but not too much.......douche.

p.s. cant find a link, but I just saw it on *cough* espn *cough*

So I just got finished with my first official season in my Madden Franchise with the Colts. I went 12-4 using the Madden IQ for every game. The four losses didnt come against the teams you would of thought. Heres a recap of my season.

Wk 1 I beat the Bears handily 27-12.

Wk 2 Was a loss to the Vikings 14-20 I guess I was still getting used to my IQ level and I also found out the the running game is non existent for me. Record (1-1)

Wk3 I lost to the Jags :(. by the same score as previous 14-20. At this point I'm seriously doubting my skills and wondering will I make the playoffs (1-2)

Wk4 Bye

Wk5 I beat the Texans 17-10 to improve to (2-2)

Wk6 I lost my 3rd game this time to the Ravens 14-17. (2-3)

Wk7 I blew out the Favreless Packers 14-0 (3-3)

Wk8 I beat the Titans 17-14, one of many close games to come. (4-3)

Wk9 The Patriots came to the Lube and took the Lube into its first overtime game. Money won it for us (irony). 17-14 (5-3)

Wk10 My second blow out and against the Steelers no less. A whopping 24-0. (6-3)

Wk11 My second overtime game against our divisional rival Texans. Colts win with Money again. 13-10. (7-3)

Wk12 Also went into overtime against the Chargers. Stupid Chargers. I was up 10-0 in the 4th quarter. They came back 10-10. I got the ball first in overtime and I turned it over :( The Chargers were in Vinatieri FG range but I guess not Kaeding. I thought it was over. Gary Brackett returned INT 70 YARDS to win in OT. 16-10. (8-3)

Wk13 I blew up the Browns 31-7. (9-3)

Wk14 Snoozefest. Win over Bengals 14-10 (10-3)

Wk15 I lost to the freakin Lions. Why? I dont know! 7-10. (10-4)

Wk16 I got revenge against the Jags. 29-0. Multiple picks. Epic game. (11-4)

Wk17 Was even better. Beating up on VY. Multiple sacks and picks. Keiaho had 2 ints, 1 for a TD. Hayden had one for a TD. Also a safety :D 26-0 blow out. (12-4)

I was the number 1 seed in the AFC and clinched my bye.

In the Divisional Playoff I played the Pittsburgh Steelers. I dominated pretty much the entire first half and ran out the clock in the second half. I won 14-3. Had a pick by Keiaho and a pick by Sanders.

In the AFC Championship Game I played non other than the New England Patriots. Go figure. It was a close game. A very close game. Played in the Lube with no weather effects the Pats drove down the field for a FG. On my first possession I converted on 4th and 1 TWICE to keep my drive alive. Drive ended in a TD to Tamme. Pats responded and drove down the field with a TD also. Halftime was 10-7 Pats. I received the ball at half fime and proceeded down the field and threw a TD to my main man Harrison. Rest of the game was clock grinding and one Patriot turnover. End result 14-10 Colts win. To the Superbowl I go.

This is all I got for now. Will post about Superbowl and my players. Also I made a few changes to the team. Will post later.

NFL Predictions anyone? I have take upon myself to live through the season. Thoughts and opinions?

AFC East-Patriots (duh go figure)
AFC North-Picking the Steelers to win it with Cleveland close behind
AFC South-Colts win division, Jags make wild card.
AFC West-Chargers win division, no one else close.

2nd wild card either goes to Cleveland or Houston(yes the texans). Tennessee will suck this year and nobody else challenges in the other divisions.

NFC East-Giants. Screw the "trendy" Cowboys pick. The Giants won the superbowl and are still getting looked over.WTH.
NFC North-Vikings. Packers without favre will end in the crapper. Can anyone name a quality starter on the Bears? LOL-LIONS!
NFC South-Saints. Many improvements by NO. Shockey on O and Vilma on D. TB has suspect qb and rb. Carolina is not great.
NFC West-Rams. Cripple fight anyone? Anyone can win this division. IF STL stays healthy and Jackson is Jackson then its theirs.

wild cards go to Cowboys and Eagles. 3 teams out of the East make the playoffs.
