not related to week 17, but I find it funny that if Singletary were white, the 49ers would have had to wait til the season is over so that they could have a meaningless interview with a guy they had no intentions of hiring in order to make Singletary their head coach, but since he's black, no meaningless, token interviews needed

12/25/2008 1:43:50 PM

Sorry, there was a lot to cover this week.

Winner of BRONCOS vs CHARGERS wins the AFC West. Tie goes to the Broncos.

Is their some rule at Fox Sports that whenever Dallas is a Fox game Troy Aikman and Joe Buck call the game (Fox's so called A Team even though all Fox Announcers suck)

12/28/2008 4:29:09 PM

SO WHO COULD PLAY THE PANTHERS in the 2nd round? (Minnesota or Dallas/Philly?)

12/28/2008 4:31:14 PM

the playoffs have come a week early.

what a great afternoon/evening of football to watch.

12/28/2008 4:32:52 PM

Panthers will play either Minnesota, Arizona, or Atlanta in the second round. Dallas and Philly are the only teams they can't play.

12/28/2008 4:39:41 PM

With the win, we have a playoff game either January 10th or 11th.I am willing to buy any tickets you have or anyone you know has and any you can get your hands on. Please email me asap at sag1804@yahoo.com It is 4:14 on Sunday afternoon. I am aware how much the face value is on the tickets for this game so I am willing to pay it asap. I have 3 other people trying to buy tickets as well. Whatever you have will be bought. I would also be willing to buy the NFC Championship game if we get lucky and the Giants lose their game. Lets go PANTHERS!!!! 2 seed. I can meet anywhere for tickets or do the mail thing. Thank you for responding. I know this is a shameless plug but I need a ticket or tickets anywhere I can get them so I will post everywhere I find necessary. Sorry if you don't like it but if any of you can hook me up do it.

12/28/2008 4:46:04 PM

12/28/2008 5:40:15 PM

Wade Phillips is going to lose his job but Jerry Jones is the one to blame trading for Roy Williams and getting Pacman creating even more controversy.

12/28/2008 5:40:21 PM

I think this game reinforces the argument I had with a friend last week that Tony Romo is the most overrated QB in the league

haha, fuck the cowboys

12/28/2008 5:41:54 PM

really?

really pacman?

REALLY??

12/28/2008 5:42:13 PM

12/28/2008 5:45:06 PM

Ahaha I just said that Garrett may take over at the half....

Roy Williams complaining about getting balls and drops ones thrown to him.....half the time it's like Roy isn't even looking or runs the wrong route.

12/28/2008 5:50:30 PM

ahahahahahahahaahahah

12/28/2008 6:02:21 PM

12/28/2008 6:03:14 PM

Witten for QB!

Because all the press the Cowboys get is positive and helps the team!

12/28/2008 6:24:34 PM

Pretty sure espn doesn't care about positive or negative coverage --- just that the cowboys are a goldmine for material.

12/28/2008 6:26:25 PM

just that the cowboys are bandwagon
