Playoffs Over/Under Bananza!!

I really dislike the east coast right now...

There has been more media coverage about how Peyton Manning (aka Chokerus Maximus) and Tom Brady (Prettius Lamus) are out of the playoffs than the two great NFC playoff teams that are left. Of course, it's warranted because we are inferior to the east coast markets because Carolina and Seattle are considered "small market" NFL teams. To that I say, "weak sauce" because the Panthers and the Seahawks are the two best teams left in the playoffs. The eye candy of the east coast, the Patriots and the Colts are out because they were beaten plain and simple. It wasn't because of bad calls (those went against the winning team, the Steelers), or lucky plays (wasn't that 102 yd interception return Brady's bad throw?). I'm tired of this crap, but it seems to continue.

This jerk off continues the Seattle bashing in an ignorant fashion. It's not like he's using the numbers to make his argument about ranking the final four quarterbacks, rather, he based it on ONE play by Hasselbeck. He conviently failed to mention that MVP Shaun Alexander went out in the first quarter and Hasselbeck carried the team for the remaining three quarters. He also forgot to mention the play on third and long in the third quarter to Jerivicious down the left sideline where Hasselbeck directed Joe to make a move away from the defender. What about the two clutch runs where Hasselbeck ran for a first down and a later one for a touchdown? What about how he had a higher QB rating the entire season than the four players ranked ahead of him? It's crap, this kid is a moron and I hope Hasselbeck makes him eat his ignorance.

With that said, it's over under time for the playoffs. Vegas will take bets on a variety of things, and the NFL playoffs are no exception. Here are the latest Vegas lines for things surrounding the Seahawks/Panthers match up:

.5 people that run out on the field during play
50 people that would do it if they were more drunk

25 domestic violence protestors in front of Qwest protesting Holmgren’s decision to let Locklear play
0 Seahawks fan that care
1 Fan that supports this solely because of the innocent until proven guilty principle (he should be getting everything that he has coming to him if he committed the crime)

1 replay of Julius Pepper's take-away TD run from last season
3 replays of Walter Jonepan-cakingng Peppers

40,000 drunk people aQwestst
5 people in Section 316 that get thrown out for puking and/or fighting

25 ESPN analysts that pick Carolina to win
1 ESPN analysts that pick Seattle to win (Michael Clayton)

Straight line: ESPN's campus in Bristol CN will implode and be covered in 50 feet of snow if the Seahawks win this weekend.
