But the Bears to the Superbowl would be a good consolation prize. :) I was very sad to see my Illini go down to MSU, especially since we actually had that game televised here!

Is Millen on thin ice? If I were the owner of the Lions, he'd have been gone the day after he drafted his third wideout in the top 5 (top 3 really, right?). I think you have to stick with quarterback, runningback and defensive linemen in the top 5, and if one of those three isn't there and worthy in your mind, you trade the pick, move to the middle or end of the 1st round and pick up a 3rd or a 4th along with it. This guy Millen went about it all wrong year after year. I personally have no interest in the 1st or 2nd wideout in a draft...because year in year out they prove to be the most headstrong, underperforming group of rookies, and once they do get successfull, the whole world (in their mind) suddenly revolves around them. So Millen is too stupid to understand this, loads up with 3 of them, and then wonders why the team can't be coached. He spends all that capital on wideouts, puts a top college QB behind a bullshit o-line for all those years, and wonders why his investments aren't paying off...

Being so far removed from the situation there, I haven't got a clue as to why it hasn't worked in so long...but Millen has a lot to do with it I'd imagine. His drafts have left me scratching my head. James - could you post a link to www.deadissue.com? I've got Squib Kick on my list over there. And yes, I'm a fanatic when it comes to the Pats...have to watch the games alone, stomach in knots.

Gotta love that. Indy vs Pats will be a great battle. Lookin forward to it. For me it is the Lions. If you can take the Lions seriously, then you are looking at the Looney Bin. Man, it is hard to type wearing this straight jacket and dosing on this thorazine! Dead I, you definitely take your Pats seriously. Gotta love that.

I'm sure guys on both teams have some regrets about their actions during and after the game. I don't know if there was a mental hurdle of playing the Patriots so much as a general lack of poise on the part of the Chargers. They were making mistakes that you don't see high school teams make. Very undisciplined, sloppy football. AFC seems like a toss-up to me. I like New Orleans in the NFC. Might be wishful thinking on my part -- they have a lot of San Diego connections (Brees, Bush, Carney), so I'm rooting for them. Yeah, I think you’re right.

Call it post game anger (he probably wishes privately that he did not do it, but so what) The Chargers never seemed to overcome the mental hurdle of playing the Pats. This game will be good experience for them if they can come back next year and there is no reason to believe they can't. The Pats have more experience being champs and that counts. who you guys picking this weekend? LT’s stuff doesn’t bother me.
