Ok, since I haven't seen that many in a bit and things have gotten out of hand (unless he posts before I refresh), Earguy actually got permission from Mods to post girl pics in thread since he has been:
A) The ultimate sports staple over the years
B) Always takes care with what he would even link to
C) Is incredibly considerate to the thread in general

I'm just posting in case people bickering start to even turn on him when really he has been nothing but awesome to pretty much everyone in the sports threads. He only even started post pics recently after that permission.

/come back Earguy

Beerguy: Now I have to listen to that farking Colin Cowherd suck Belichick's and Brady's dicks on the radio all next week. Son of a biatch.

My radio comes with a knob that changes radio frequencies.

Harv72b: I had this detailed thing written up with my picks for today, chock full of statistics and probably wishful thinking, but in looking at it now it's just too long (that's what she said). So here's a much shorter version:

Baltimore Ravens at New England Patriots:
Well, duh, of course the Ravens fan is going to pick Baltimore here. The much shorter version is that while this game matches strength vs. strength (the Pats' offense vs. the Ravens defense), on the other side of things New England's defense is a much greater weakness than the Rice/Flacco offensive attack. Plus I of course have to keep my favorite statistic in here: Baltimore is 7-0 this season against playoff teams, while New England is 0-2 against playoff teams not called the Denver Broncos. Look for a healthy dose of Ray Rice/Ricky Williams here along with a few deep throws against the Patriots secondary, while Baltimore goes with man coverage and some creative blitz packages to slow down Sir Uggalot and his tight end connection. Final score: 27-23
Can I just point out that if Lee Evans holds on to the farking ball in the end zone, I probably nail only the winner but the exact freaking score??? With the exception of Rice having a big day, pretty much everything that the Ravens needed to happen in order to win, happened. Somewhere in this thread is a post I made about needing two more turnovers to win the game...check. Flacco having a strong outing...check. Defense containing Gronk & Hernandez? Well...enough. Yet it's all for naught as the Pats mount one final drive to take the lead, Evans drops the ball in the end zone (in all seriousness, nice play by the NE DB), and then Cundiff shanks the kick that would've sent it to overtime.

New York Giants at San Francisco 49ers:
While we all wanted to see a Saints/Packers rematch and the inevitable race to 100 combined points it would produce, this game is equally appealing in my opinion. On the one hand you have the steady & consistent 49ers, led by a strong defense and running game, while on the other there are the streaky (but white-hot) Giants and an explosive passing attack plus defense that can get a lot of pressure on opposing quarterbacks. Again strength against strength, but the difference-maker to me is that San Fran's offense is just a little better (imo) than New York's D, and the Giants just seem a little more susceptible to the turnover. Harbaugh the Younger cements his claim to Coach of the Year honors with a 26-17 victory.
While there's at least a shared sense of responsibility for the loss in Baltimore (or there should be), as far as the 49ers go it's all going to land squarely on the shoulders of poor Kyle Williams, whose muffed punt and later fumble on a return led to half of New York's 20 points, including the game-winning field goal in overtime. To be fair, Eli Manning had a very solid game playing under murderous pressure, and the Giants' receiving corps came up big in the game with numerous tough (and clutch) catches, but wow. As a total aside, I cannot tell you how much the 49ers defense tonight reminded me of the Ravens D during their 2000 Super Bowl season, and how much Patrick Willis reminds me of a young Ray Lewis (down to the number). Now the question becomes whether or not Harbaugh can keep this mostly young team motivated for a repeat run next season.

Seriously, great couple of games and congratulations to the New England Patriots and the New York Giants for moving onward. And for San Francisco fans & my fellow Ravens supporters, there's no dishonor in the way our teams played this year, and every reason to expect another strong performance next season.

/For the record, I did not kick my cat at any point today.

John Buck 41: The next asshole who uses the term "The New York FOOTBALL Giants" needs an industrial-strength, weapons-grade cockpunch.

I'm talking to you, fat-ass Berman.

You realize that that's their official name, right? ..and that the reason it is is because of another team that currently plays in San Francisco?

Wow...two insane games that each come down to the last seconds (literally), all leading up to a Super Bowl that I officially don't give one solitary fark about!

Patriots-Giants? Kind of like seeing Hitler and Bin Laden square off in a steal cage death math to decide who becomes the ruler of the earth. No matter which one wins, we're still all screwed.

/Go commercials!

That's why whoever said college OT is better is wrong. All parts of the game, offense, defense, field position, and special teams all are part of NFL overtime.

Ravens straight up trade Cundiff for Williams.

PICK SIX! PICK SIX! PICK SIX! PICK SIX! PICK SIX! PICK SIX! PICK SIX! PICK SIX! PICK SIX! PICK SIX! PICK SIX! PICK SIX! PICK SIX! PICK SIX! PICK SIX! PICK SIX! PICK SIX! PICK SIX! PICK SIX! PICK SIX!

I guess Buffalo Wild Wings fired its employee. Can't seem to get bonus football.

PanicMan: Tide!

Oh no, the Niners knocked themselves out of a pick!

So, is the 2nd half going to be slant to Cruz. Slant to Cruz. Slant to Cruz.

You'd think the Niner's could defend the play that happens ALL THE TIME.

jaylectricity: Scruffinator: Giants uniforms look awful today...

Yeah, I hate "throwback week" uniforms.

Problem is that those are their normal ones. They've never looked right, can't tell why.

Lt. Cheese Weasel: Who is this fragile bird? I'd hit it.

go watch Pushing Daisies, damn you!

Hey... Kristin Chenoweth.

Someone who can actually sing.

Scruffinator: Dired: So, seriously - why is Frank Caliendo on TV? I mean, who could possibly be the target audience? I'm really confused here.

Maybe they think we love to hate him?

A couple years ago during the MLB playoffs on TBS he actually ran an add about how annoying his constant frank TV ads were.

In the sports entertainment threads, we call that X-pac heat

Harv72b: I want to make one point, and one point only about that game:

Joe Flacco won it. He won't get a single bit of credit for that during the coming weeks, but he won the farking the game. He can't force his receivers to hold onto the ball in the end zone, and he can't force his kicker to make the field goal for OT either. Great game by Joe, great season overall, and we will be back in 2012 (assuming the Mayans were wrong).

Congrats Patriots fans. Good game.

Hey Harv, for your sake I'm sorry things didn't turn out differently - you're a cool dude, and although I don't exactly like your team, lol, I do respect them. And yes, that includes Flacco - like I've said before, he doesn't get the credit he deserves. Maybe he's not "elite" (whatever that means, anyway), but I believe he's definitely more capable than people think. Congrats on a good game and a great season (although fark you for beating my guys twice, anyway :P), and we'll see you next year. :)

/for revenge, I hope! ;)

Damn you Harv. DAMN YOU! If there was not one, and I mean, one inkling of RIGHTEOUS class among the Ravens populace here, I would open floodgates with a lot more funny anti-BAL pics onto this humble thread. But for the sake of you, and YOU alone, I will take back my hand of wrath.

It was a pleasure to meet a fan that respected our longtime division rivalry, and your AFC North title cannot be taken away. As I said in the weeks leading up to this, this does not mean PIT will take a series sweep so lightly next time. Be ready with your boys, and be ready with mine. We'll meet at Heinz and M&T once again. And perhaps elsewhere....????

whenIsayGO: I always feel really bad when one guy so clearly is responsible for the difference between his team winning or losing a major sporting event. Sure if the whole team played better he wouldn't have been in that position, but no, really, he just farked up a pretty average kick.

/ feel better, guy
// hope you don't get murdered

Cundiff only had the last screw up. He's a big part of why the Ravens were playing today.

Walker: BAHAHAHAHAHA

The field goal kicker mine as well go into the witness relocation program. He'll never live this down and all of Baltimore will be after his head.

Send the two guys who dropped their passes with him

Great. Fifty thousand drunken Fitzies coming my way in 2 weeks. Guess I'll just secretly mark everything up double when they cash out in my stores.

Flacco proves he's a big game QB.
Pats prove that can't make the stop.
Ravens D proves it's still for real.

An Cundiff hooks it.

Kind if for the shank

LEAVE THE STEELERS ALONE!

Theaetetus: Stuffed like a coed around Ben Rapelisberger!

Your obsession is disturbing.

They're going for it?! O_o

don't penalty yourselves out of field goal range, ravens

vegaswench: Acer FTW. Cheap and reliable.

This is so true.

5 years ago I wouldn't have said it, but 4 years ago they just started making quality stuff. Not sure what happened.

Nefarious: So does that mean the Patriot team physician is an Igor?

It's pronounced...Eye-gor.

Nice Superman

I feel bad for laughing, but I did anyway.

Dont ever feel bad for laughing on Fark.

If I could vote this as smart a few more times, I would.

mikaloyd wins the thread again...as usual.

/the tom brady of sammiches

Lady, that does look like the Egg McMuffin of apartments: cheap and terrible.

Against this D, points is points.

Going with Pats and Giants today. I want my Super Bowl XLII rematch, dammit!

If we're lucky the Russians will have an accident and launch an ICBM at Gillette Stadium. No matter who wins that game we all lose.

I only root for one team, so I'm not cheering for anybody today. That said, I do subscribe to the lesser of the evils theory, which puts me firmly in the camp of the Giants (gag).
