Rumor has it that James Harrison from the Pittsburgh Steelers will be fined and possibly suspended by Roger Goodell if Tom Brady and the Patriots don't clinch the AFC East and a first-round bye this upcoming weekend.
dats funny loser
If Tom Brady has a bad hair day, Harrison will be suspended.
Kinda weird not seeing the Colts in there and the Jags close lol.. Im hoping my Bears can do something but rewalistically Im seeing Pats Falcons in the super bowl
Playoff Scenarios...all other teams jockey for position to see who will be first in line to get DESTROYED by the Patriots!!! Season's over bitches give us our rings!!!
Thats what you said right before the Giants beat you a couple years ago. lol
Yes Joey, just like they won the super bowl while cheating their asses of against the eagles, and they damn near lost the game if they hadn't cheated so much. How many other times did they do this. they should take the super bowl rings from them and demand they give the other ones to the teams they cheated on. They will lose this year and that will be that.
Not sooooo fast there pilgrim. There's still a lot of football to play, and the Pats have not finished yet. As optimistic as I am , it ain't over until that fat lady sings.
The Steelers get there 7th this year..........
Fat Chance. Too many injuries.
although defence does win games you still need to be able to score touch downs int the NFL interceptions just doesn't cut it
