Doesnt really hurt Denver. They're still in the lead for home field advantage.
Helps my bet with luckie immensely, though. My bartender heaved a sigh of relief.
I know it doesn't really hurt them... I just really like to see the Patriots get their asses kicked and for Peyton Manning to be a part of the kicking. I'm really hoping that, this season, the Broncos win the Super Bowl, Peyton Manning retires, and I can go back to being a proper Colts fan, but meanwhile, the Patriots get trounced. Because I have an irrational hate for them beyond any irrational hate I have possessed before. It's almost diabolical.

Kudos unsummarily removed, Chtulhu.
I'm too upset to talk right now. I fell asleep during halftime cuz I thought we had the cat in the bag. And because Turkey has some devil magic in it that makes me sleepy.
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
Quote:Some people deserve hell.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

Whoops, forgot to pick.
But man, fuck the Lions. Seriously, I'm thinking about suing the team for emotional abuse.

I feel your pain. The life of a Cowboys fan filled with fantasies, none which have been actualized since I was a child. Being a Tony Romo apologist is a very demanding job.

3-8 for the Redskins, excuse me, you want to talk about "abuse"? Being a fan I'd almost rather staple my nuts to the wall.

Yes, but at least you have glory days to look back upon. Try being the fan of a team that has never won a playoff game.

Look at the bright side. You aren't a Browns fan.
On a serious note, I can remember back in the late 80's and early 90's - they were really good.

I hope your fortune changes this year, however - if the Lions win the NFC North (pretty much their only likely route to the playoffs), it's looking like you'll likely be facing Carolina or S.F. in the wild card round. The way it's shaping up, it very well could be that 3 of the 4 wild cards have better records than anyone who doesn't get a bye in the first round.
At least you'll be at home.

You think that's bad? Seattle depended on this asshole. Fucking second overall draft pick.
