Playoffs? PLAYoffs?

So far, no online site has been able to tell me why on earth Troy Polumalu’s interception in the fourth quarter of yesterday’s playoff game against the Colts was overruled. He made a “football move”—two + steps with the ball securely in his grasp—until he fell over himself and booted it out. And then recovered the ball. Since a stumble is still controlling the ball… hey, I don’t know.

Also impressed with how the Steelers stuck with what Roethlisberger stated as the game plan—play an A+ game while the Colts play their B- game. The Colts were a little rusty after the off week, and got smacked in the mouth a few times.

As for the Bears/ Panthers game, the Bears have got to be kidding if they consider Rex Grossman a vast improvement on Kyle Orton. He still couldn’t hit his targets. Gunslinger? If someone shot like that in a shootout, wouldn’t they be perforated?

  • mjunior bleeds UMass maroon and thinks Red Sox are an appropriate accessory for anything. Having spent some time in Trampa, FL, he also believes in pirates. mjunior knows that the Duke basketball team is the Yankees of college basketball. His nightmares are often punctuated with JJ Redick's poetry. Read his regular blog, The Junior Page.

  • Pico was born a little colored boy in an orange and blue Mets manger. He also watched the Rams when they came to St Louis (after he arrived) and stunk, so he feels he has a right to follow them as they lose every single game. Seeing Jets coach Herm Edwards walking in the Bellagio in Vegas last year might be one of the best moments of his life. He is following the St John's Red Storm from lovely Chicago and blogs as often as he can, even though he can't see the games on tv... yet.

  • Greg believes everyone looks good in burnt orange. During his time at Texas, he learned about the wonders of every sport that UT plays. (Including badminton?) Though he detests any and all rivals, he has been known to lay with an Aggie or two. He has also seen the Spurs play in all three of their home stadia. His ramblings can be found at his blog, The First Day of the Rest of My Life .

  • Neverecho is the brilliance that allows us all to post. She is responsible for the design and many of the tweaks. Though a Duke graduate and fan, she is still a good person and enjoys a good story about basketball. She secretly thinks JJ Redick's poetry is dreamy.
