Well aware that I'm gonna get flamed, I thought I'd post this nice little anecdote I got from one of my co-workers this morning...

The Truth is Spoken

God asks Peyton Manning first: "What do you believe?"

Peyton thinks long and hard, looks God in the eye, and says, "I believe in hard work, and in staying true to family and friends. I believe in giving. I was lucky, but I always tried to do right by my fans."

God can't help but see the essential goodness of Manning, and offers him a seat to his left.

Then God turns to Tony Romo and says, "What do you believe?"

Tony says, "I believe passion, discipline, courage and honor are the fundamentals of life. I, too, have been lucky, but win or lose, I've always tried to be a true sportsman, both on and off the playing fields."

God is greatly moved by Tony's sincere eloquence, and he offers him a seat to his right.

Finally, God turns to Tom Brady: "And you, Tom, what do you believe?"

Tom replies, "I believe you're in my seat."

I won't flame you, although I will say that I've heard that joke told the other way around. Which isn't to say that I'm accusing anyone of stealing the joke from anyone else, it's just the nature of the joke that makes it open to change.

I'm just glad to hear a Dallas QB involved in the joke. I've had too many years where the Dallas QB was the joke.

Funny thing is, to hear a Dallas fan complain about their quarterback situation is compairable to hearing an athlete complain to a paraplegic about knee pain. Your not gonna get a whole lotta sympathy ^_^

Well after Aikman we had (in no particular order):

Ryan Leaf

Drew Henson

Clint Stoerner

Anthony Wright

Quincy Carter

Chad Hutchinson

Rodney Peete

Drew Bledsoe

Randall Cunningham

and so on....

Granted the last three had their glory days, but never in blue and silver. I guess my point is I'm glad to finally have a QB that is respected league-wide. It's been longer than you think. :P

The Bucs' 31-year drought is over.

Yes, they just scored their very first TD on a kickoff return in the history of the franchise. Yet another high point in the Falcons' season. :P

Very fitting, for a team that's never put consecutive winning seasons in their 42 seasons of play....

Finally, took em long enough! Plus another Ronde Barber Int return for a TD as well. On another note, if TB can win today, and pull one off against the Panthers in a couple week that'll be a division sweep of all 3 teams.

YESS!!!!! Finally brought one back in the regular season!!!! The only other time thats happened Bert Emannuel (I think) brought one back in the pre season. This is second only to a Super Bowl win in my book!!! :P

EDIT: So, question for someone who knows better than I do. Since Tampa has beaten New Orleans both times this season and holds the "Tie Breaker", do they clinch the division still if they win, or is the NFL not use a "Tie Breaker"?

Tamp Bay clinches NFC South Division:

1) TB win OR

2) NO loss OR

3) TB tie + NO tie

TB has the game. So they win the NFC South. Congrats to them.

14-0.

Just sayin'.

But why did Brady have to get bad stats? Why?

did you watch the game? Horrible conditions. A lot of it was bad throws on his part, the other was receivers dropping a lot of catchable balls. So the Patriots stuck with th run most of the game. Maroney ran for over 100 yards.
