Should not the team with the highest SOS get first pick?
So beyond just sucking and losing, we get further punished by playing better opponents by getting robbed the 1st pick during a 2-14 season....

I figure by making the team with the highes SOS get 1st would be a consolation. A team should not getting rewarded for playing cupcakes.

Sagarin says the Bengals have the #1 SOS

[Edited on December 13, 2010 at 12:46 PM. Reason : Bills and Cowboys are also higher than the Panthers]

lol at the signs thanking Fox for this season and getting Andrew Luck

what the fuck arizona

12/19/2010 1:55:26 PM

Arizona playing spoiler to Carolina's Luck hopes

So even if carolina wins today, doesn't look they have a chance at losing the andrew luck pick

12/19/2010 1:58:41 PM

what is the deal with this music?

12/19/2010 2:35:02 PM

Ha, I've been wondering the same thing. I guess they found a way to make a game with Ron Pitts just a little more unbearable.

12/19/2010 2:39:20 PM

I don't believe Carolina takes Luck they will be looking to trade down

12/19/2010 3:16:53 PM

They've been mentioning the music on ESPN this week, Fox experiment like the score box and yellow line.

12/19/2010 3:19:29 PM

now that the panthers fucked up and are winning this is the Cleveland vs Cincinnati game thread right?

Let's go Cedric Benson!

12/19/2010 3:20:00 PM

fuck you marvin lewis

why would you throw with carson palmer in the red zone

oh well, 2 score game now!

12/19/2010 3:22:51 PM

fuck you high tower

12/19/2010 3:27:43 PM

^^^^Well, the scoreboard and yellow line are informative, and help you keep up with the game. The music doesn't do that.

12/19/2010 3:33:40 PM

WTF BENGALS

46 yard TD pass by Colt McCoy? Are you kidding me?

12/19/2010 3:41:56 PM

Bengals recover the onside kick!

[Edited on December 19, 2010 at 3:50 PM. Reason : they pick up the first down! I love you Cedric Benson]

12/19/2010 3:44:44 PM

thank you bengals

depends

we finish with the worst record, we get the 1st pick

we finish with a tie for the worst record, it comes down to strength of schedule, which depends on what the other teams on our schedule (and cincy's schedule for example) do the last couple weeks

[Edited on December 19, 2010 at 4:07 PM. Reason : the Bucs losing doesn't really help us playing ATL the final week]

12/19/2010 4:05:58 PM

bungles helped with the win and the sos swings back in out favor today. hope is still alive.

12/19/2010 5:50:22 PM

12/19/2010 9:18:51 PM

we are going to get luck

we'll still suck next year, but hopefully our new GM won't trade away our picks for candies and sweets

12/19/2010 9:23:32 PM

little thing the CO did with some potential HCs next year

12/19/2010 9:24:28 PM

Surprised they didn't mention Ron Rivera

12/20/2010 2:13:33 AM

i like how big Ryan's gut is

also, and maybe I'm being too optimistic, Harbaugh just looks like he should be wearing a Panthers polo and headset

12/20/2010 2:19:08 AM

^ yep

I'll take the Luck/Harbaugh package deal in a second

12/20/2010 10:00:47 AM

How funny would it be if Fox was throwing two middle fingers up instead

12/20/2010 10:05:03 AM

that's what i thought it was at first

12/20/2010 10:49:23 AM

this guy has fail written all over him

12/20/2010 3:32:30 PM

He looks like he's practicing for the mascot job.

Richardson is probably gonna end up hiring a cheap assistant and do everything he can to get rid of the 1st pick (unless, by some miracle, there is a cbo with a rookie wage scale by the draft), because he doesn't want to spend any money w the uncertainty in the league.

I'm a big time troll

12/20/2010 3:37:46 PM

I've since realized all you do is quote other people and critique their posts with a snarky attitude while never actually furthering the conversation yourself.

what do you call that?

12/20/2010 3:45:51 PM

amac

12/20/2010 3:47:34 PM

thegoodlife is still bitter because I dropped a deuce in his, Ernie's and guitarguy's apartment sometime around 2005
