  1. I really don't see how Sullivan got "destroyed" by Nix during the press conference yesterday. Nix's response was ambiguous, at best. Sullivan was simply given the run-around by an organization that takes more care in keeping secrets than it does in evaluating talent.

     

    The people who hate on Sullivan remind me of the Sabres fans that boo players like Zdeno Chara. They don't necessarily have any reason to do it, but like Pavlov's dog, they salivate at the opportunity.

  2. Dilfer has to have something personal against TO.

     

    He was insisting that TO in no way makes the Bills better at all. Thats a little irrational

     

    I agree. T.O. makes the Bills better just by freeing up Lee from the double teams. Of that, there's little question in my mind.

     

    Will the O-line be able to give Trent 3 seconds to throw? Maybe by week 8.

  3. So that's it, thanks.

     

    Just in case you were interested (from http://espn.go.com/page2/s/list/2004nflplayoffgames.html):

     

    6. Merry Christmas, Miami! Dolphins 27, Chiefs 24, OT (AFC semis, Dec. 25, 1971)

    At halftime, the game was tied, 10-10. Back and forth it went in the second half: Chiefs up 17-10, Dolphins tie it; Chiefs up 24-17, Dolphins tie it.

     

    But it looked like the Chiefs had it won when Ed Podolak, having one of the greatest individual games in NFL history, returned a kickoff 78 yards to the Miami 22, putting Kansas City in field goal position with little time left. But Hall of Famer kicker Jan Stenerud missed wide right from 31 yards.

     

    The first OT period passed with only two real scoring opportunities, a blocked Stenerud attempt from 42 yards out, and a Gary Yepremian miss from 52 yards. Finally, midway through the second OT, Yepremian hit a 37-yarder for the win. The longest game in NFL history -- 82 minutes, 40 seconds -- was over.

     

    "It was a horrifying experience, because one break is going to be the game" said Chiefs QB Len Dawson of the overtimes.

     

    Podolak's great performance is often forgotten because the Chiefs lost (their only home loss of the 1971 season). He scored two TDs, caught eight passes for 110 yards, rushed 17 times for 85 yards, and returned three kicks for 154 yards.

  4. It's funny this topic came up because I was just thinking about it last weekend, remembering Donovan McNabbs comment last season about not knowing the NFL could end a game with a tie. Got me wondering what they would do if a SB went into OT and no one scored. Would they have an emergency meeting in whichever suite Goodell is using to determine how to finish with a winner, or would both teams "share" the trophy?

     

     

    Playoff overtime continues until someone scores, regardless of how many overtime "quarters" it takes to finish the game. Your scenario is impossible because of this.

  5. Hyperbole has been the hip thing in American sports broadcasting for at least a decade now, and it tends to make me want to stab myself repeatedly.

     

    That said, I don't think Collinsworth is any more guilty than most of his colleagues, and he's by no means the worst.
