I find it amusing and I like decisive people--even if they are wrong, they're usually fun to try to convert, and when you agree with them on something, it's great fun picking apart somebody on the other side of an argument because they always come armed to the teeth--you can let them look like rthe rabid tools and you can be the voice of reason. Also it's easy to pick them apart since they leave little margin for self-doubt and lots of room for ridicule. I'd say "jerks" rather than "a-holes" but it's really semantics at that point.<BR/><BR/>DZ, agreed on the endgame vs SD--A figgie results in a kickoff (always a dangerous thing) and SD ball on maybe the 30 YL, not stranding the opponent on their 1 yard line. I think the risk/reward analysis dictates taking the shot for the TD. Scifres is a demigod, but a 66-yarder was not quite expected. Even a 50-yard punt nets us 16 more yards. Then there was the Reggie injury and dropped passes. You don't plan for that. Add 16 yards on a still amazing punt (or 26 yards on an ordinary punt), give Reggie the catch he almost held onto, and Clark too and we'd have the ball about the SD 20 with maybe a minute left. I like them odds.<BR/><BR/>Regarding Rivers, I still think he is a punk with a bit of an emotional/psychological problem (may be as benign as "immaturity" or as bad as Billy Martin/Napoleon complex, though he's no twerp), but in light of the news of his surgery 5 days before playing on Sunday, he is one tough SOB. Let's park a pickup on his head to see if he's as tough as McNair....Bob M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09868145755330857138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1364482294646808855.post-44814124138862670032008-01-21T17:48:00.000-03:002008-01-21T17:48:00.000-03:00And it has been comfirmed by adam schefter on nfl ...And it has been comfirmed by adam schefter on nfl network and nfl.com that he will indeed returnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1364482294646808855.post-320278017818341492008-01-21T17:33:00.000-03:002008-01-21T17:33:00.000-03:00I think the Favre/Manning family story is just pur...I think the Favre/Manning family story is just pure BS.
