Let's say THREE-peat
Topic: Football
Yeah, i ralize that Phil Jackson has a patent on the word, but fuck him, these New England Patriots ain't no pampered Air Jordanasskissing Bulls, THIS is more America's team than any other team in the history of sports can claim to be!!!

With the exception of Corey Dillon and Mike Vrabel, New England is so devoid of superstars.Tom Brady, who many, including myself, thought should share the MVP with Deion Branch because he was playing with the death of his grandmother weighing down on his soul, would not be starting on any other team in the NFL!

As the bostonbrat.net shows---Opinions on the pro prospects for Tom Brady were mixed. Scouts had no quibble with his attitude. He was fearless, hard-working, and willing to learn. They also gave him high marks for his accuracy on passes to the flat and over the middle. It was Tom's body that had many concerned. He stood 6-4, but weighed only 205 pounds. He didn't run well and couldn't throw deep with much effectiveness. Most pegged him as a career back-up--someone who could fulfill a support role, but certainly not a player worthy of a high pick.

Most of the Patriots would be struggling for a starting job on any other NFL team, but under the auspices of Bill Belichick, they are all shining now, and everyone is now enviously looking on. Belichick and owner Robert Kraft exemplify something that is missing in corporate America today--FAITH in their workers, or at least their football team since i don't know how many jobs the Kraft corporation has outsourced.

In a country where a C student can be president but too many bright young men are forced to go to Jude Fawley University, the Patriots are a dynasty that working Americans can live with.

Unlike the Yankees, the Patriots are not a checkbook dynasty, and any free-agent with sense will be looking to play there next season to be part of that historic THREE-peat team, and for the first time in their history New England might be teeming with superstars!!!

The road to the THREE-peat is a lot harder in the NFL than it was for the Bulls...while the refs in the NBA would go out of their way to protect Michael Jordan--you used to get called for a foul if you looked at him wrong!!!

In the NFL there are a plethora of rules against the New England Patriots, and in addition to calling for the bookies, the refs enforce these rules with the fanaticism of an SS officer.

Am i saying that the refs are working in concert with the bookies???

Let's say that Ray Charles could have seen a certain pick that wasn't called, but instead they saw a costly New England penalty, and instead of the penalties offsetting, the Patriots were heavily penalized!!!

Arbeit Macht Frie

We also got to see the first PC Super Bowl,with only godaddy.com daring to go against the dictates of our theocratic FCC!!! Listening to Howard Stern this morning i was appalled by the hoops godaddy.com had to go through to get this commercial on the air, and i was saddened that SIR Paul McCartney didn't have the chutzpah of John Lennon, who would probably have had a "wardrobe malfucntion" and would have mooned Amerikkka.

If you click here and go to the Pirate Stern Bulletin Board, you'll see that i am very arrogant about how great the Patriots are, and if you interview some of my friends, you'll see how dispassionate a gambler i can be.

The most shocking bet i ever made, to my friends at least, was when i bet the Ravens to beat the Giants in the Super Bowl. Contrary to what some people believe, i am not one of those people who follow the hype, which is why i hated both the Steelers and Cowboys during their heydays, but seldom bet against them in the big dance.

Gambling is like football, the object is to win.

It would amaze you to realize that i have only been to TWO Giants games in my life, yet i had gone to almost a hundred Jets games! The reason being it was always easy to get free Jets tickets from their fans who were usually pissed off by mid-November, and the fascination of watching the Jets blow thirty-point leads in the fourth quarter was irresistible.

So now we come to the age of the Patriots dynasty, one that will be remembered for as long as there is football.

The Shitsburgh Steelers were invincible, and having beaten the Patriots on Halloween they were looking for the treat that is the Super Bowl, unaware of the trick that is the Patriots!!!

With Bettis and Staley, they had two of the biggest power backs in the game, and Big Ben Roethlisberger looked like he was poised to do something that immortals like Marino, Elway, Montana, or Eli Manning couldn't do...take their team to the Super Bowl during their rookie campaigns, the Steelers are the only viable threat to the Pats three-peating that i can see right now.

Philly fans may beg to differ, but in their hearts they're hoping beyond hope for some kind of Rocky story in Jacksonville.

The press is already playing it as the second "African American" quarterback who can win the Super Bowl, but we already know that Donovan McNabb is a nigger by association!!!

Terrell Owens end-zone antics was coonshow cute, but he will be forever hated and detested for his halftime encounter with a white woman, even if it was fictitous. Almost forty years after Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, Amerikkka is still offended when some black buck looks like he might fuck one of their women!!!

And there is still the stigma that many little Black kids face growing up--Hey you call us spearchuckers, so why cain't we be quarterbacks???

The only thing interesting about THIS Super Bowl will be the race card, since none of the sports media has the balls to start whispering THREE-PEAT!!!

Need i say more???

Jets survive gaffe, Brien boots S.D. in OT

By RICH CIMINI
DAILY NEWS SPORTS WRITER


Anthony Becht leaps into arms of Brandon Moore after scoring on 13-yard touchdown pass in Jets' 20-17 OT win last night.


Santana Moss hauls in 47-yard TD bomb from Chad Pennington that gives Jets 14-7 lead as Chargers corner Quentin Jammer watches ball slip through his hands.


Chad Pennington throws for 279 yards and two TDs, with no INTs.


After Eric Barton's roughing-the-passer penalty gives Chargers life, TE Antonio Gates scores game-tying TD.


Doug Brien's 28-yarder with 14:55 gone in overtime ends wild playoff game.

SAN DIEGO - It was rainy and foggy last night, a fitting backdrop to the most surreal postseason game in the Jets' rainy and foggy history.

Overcoming a fourth-quarter meltdown that included a ridiculously dumb roughing-the-passer penalty on Eric Barton - shades of Mark Gastineau at Cleveland in the 1986 playoffs - the Jets defeated the Chargers, 20-17, in a wild and crazy overtime game that will go down as a classic.


The Jets, who blew a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter, finally won it at 12:03 a.m. on Doug Brien's second field goal, a 28-yarder with 14:55 gone in overtime. Minutes earlier, Chargers kicker Nate Kaeding had replaced Barton as the goat, missing wide right on a 40-yard attempt that would have given the Chargers their first postseason win since 1994.


In an ecstatic locker room, no one was happier than Barton, who came perilously close to being the Bill Buckner in Jets' lore.


"I made a stupid mistake," Barton said. "To almost be responsible for the team not winning, it's a sick feeling."


Asked if he was relieved, Barton said, "You have no idea."


After Kaeding's miss, Chad Pennington, who threw for two touchdowns in perhaps the best clutch performance of his career, took over at his 30-yard line and led the Jets 60 yards in eight plays. In came Brien, who had endured a shaky night. Earlier, he missed from 33 yards and doinked another off the right upright on a 42-yarder that was good.


"It was a relief," Brien said. "I didn't want to be the one who let the team down."


It was the Jets' first road playoff victory in 22 years, the biggest win of the Herm Edwards era. They advanced to the divisional round, where they will meet the Patriots or Steelers. For Chargers coach Marty Schottenheimer, it was another in a long line of crushing playoff defeats. Schottenheimer, who hurt his team with an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, dropped to 5-12 in the postseason.


In one breathless stretch, the Jets went from apparent winners to apparent losers to winners. In between, there was a heated sideline shouting match between Edwards and running backs coach Bishop Harris.


This game had just about everything.


"I just believed we were going to win this game," said Edwards, who called his altercation with Harris a "family feud" that was quickly resolved. "I believed it all week."


The game was all but over, but Barton gave the Chargers a new life, roughing Drew Brees with a senseless forearm to his helmet. It ruined a dramatic goal-line stand. Brees, under heavy pressure by Victor Hobson and Barton, retreated in the pocket and made a fourth-down heave into the end zone. It fell incomplete

It was at this point i started rooting AGAINST the Jets!!!

All year i have been rooting for teams that have been arch enemies...the Cowboys, the Redskins, dah Bears,and even the fucking Rams!!! Last night i found myself cheering for the Jets, who went into San Diego as bigger underdogs than they deserved to be.

The sagacity of Chad not being able to throw the ball down field was all bullshit to me, and the slop that they had to play in meant that Curtis Martin would have a GREAT game, even though he didn't. When Barton hit Drew Brees on the helmet with his forearm, i jumped over to the Chargers camp. THERE WAS NO REASON for him to do that, even if it was in frustration, which it wasn't.

Barton had the sack, and the Jets would have had the game, and like Bill Parcells i get mad at stupid plays.

So, i'm hoping that the Jets will be playing Pittsburgh because i think they CAN beat them, which will set the stage for a Patriots/Jets AFC Championship which will be the prelude for a New England/Green Bay Super Bowl.

Are the refs on the take???
Now Playing: Seattle-St. Louis game
Topic: Football
It seems as if the referees are betting on Seattle in the Loser Bowl. In the first half, Seattle started a fight after a play and the refs did not call anything, THEN they did not charge Seattle with a timeout BECAUSE OF THE FIGHT!!!

A face mask call right afterwards in what would have been a Rams interception NULLIFIED the INT, and even though it was a legit call, it should never have happened!!! With almost 2 minutes left in the first Shaun Alexander could not run of 3rd & 2 because he hurt his left hand...WHAT THE FUCK!!!

Both these teams suck big time, but not as much as the refs!!!
