Anyone see the Pro Bowl, or the senior bowl, or the east/west games? I was wondering how guys from Oregon did in these games. Locker seemed to have not done that great. Marecic from Tigard won a brand new award, the Paul Hornung award.

NFL POSTERS I'VE MADE!!!

And my favorite one...!

Animeman73 · « **Reply #152 on:** February 06, 2011, 07:15:18 pm »

YES!!!! Green Bay won by 6. Holy cow what a game, Congratulations to the Green Bay Packers on winning another Lambardi Trophy.

And I just won the betting pool my stepfather and I had for the Super Bowl.

NARUNIK · « **Reply #153 on:** February 06, 2011, 09:56:04 pm »

I will say this.

This was my first Super Bowl...( or atleast one I actually saw from beggining to end.)

It was funny how pretty much most of the stars come in fancy clothes, then Adam Sandler comes in with an Orange Jacket and sun glasses, that amused me.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #154 on:** February 07, 2011, 12:00:30 pm »

I'm quite pleased, too. What's really funny, though, is on Saturday I made a prediction that the final score was going to be 30-24. I was off by one point for both teams, but in a way to where I had the spread correct.

jaybug · « **Reply #155 on:** February 07, 2011, 05:55:11 pm »

On paper the Steelers should have won. But for Big Ben being bad twice, they would have. Good game, good 1/2 time show, commercials, meh.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #156 on:** February 07, 2011, 07:06:05 pm »

I'd disagree about the half-time show. I can't stand the Black Eyed Peas, and I'd prefer to never hear an Usher song for the rest of my life if possible. It was better than The Rolling Stones were, though...

Kaylin05 · « **Reply #157 on:** February 18, 2011, 02:11:48 pm »

I like football. I do go for a team that isn't the best but hay. We all do.

jaybug · « **Reply #158 on:** April 28, 2011, 05:57:16 pm »

Well, I think we know Boston can keep going. Makes my co-worker happy. phbbbtttt.

Cam Newton #1 to Carolina. Jake Locker #8 to the Titans.

THe Titans are mad. Sure they need a quarterback. But not a rookie quarterback, who has yet to show a really excellent season. Yes, it's hard to know how good he was as the Huskies stunk up the place again. Well, they did okay in their bowl.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #159 on:** April 28, 2011, 06:21:42 pm »

So, any predictions on who's going to play for the Stanley Cup? Since the 2nd round of t he playoffs have yet to start, I thought this would be a good time to make predictions for it.

West
Vancouver def. Nashville in 6
Detroit def. San Jose in 7
East
Tampa Bay def. Washington in 6
Boston def. Philadelphia in 5

If I'm right...
West - Vancouver def. Detroit in 6
East - Boston def. Tampa Bay in 7

...then...
Vancouver def. Boston in 6

jaybug · « **Reply #160 on:** April 28, 2011, 06:33:38 pm »

I think it might play out that way in the West, but your East picks, seem....eh. Boston in the finals, maybe/probably, but....I don't think Tampa will oust the Caps.

Need to go check on the draft now...

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #161 on:** April 28, 2011, 06:34:20 pm »

Logically, they wouldn't. Call it intuition, I guess...

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #162 on:** June 02, 2011, 02:39:31 pm »

^ I'm so glad that I was right about that...

So, right now, Vancouver is leading the Stanley Cup series over Boston 1-0. I'm hoping that the Canucks win it; they've been there only twice, and were unable to win it both times. I hope that the third time is the charm for them.

jaybug · « **Reply #163 on:** June 05, 2011, 08:57:05 pm »

It's now 2-0 Canucks. Go Vancouver, eh?

I knew Vancouver was winning the other night. My silent co-worker let off a major expletive. I asked, so Vancouver scored, eh? Yes. he replied, stonily.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #164 on:** June 06, 2011, 01:09:47 am »

I take it that they are rooting for the Bruins...

jaybug · « **Reply #165 on:** June 06, 2011, 04:39:07 pm »

Well yes, doesn't everyone from upstate New York root for Boston?

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #166 on:** June 07, 2011, 01:06:21 am »

...do they? I'd figure that they'd hate Boston.

jaybug · « **Reply #167 on:** June 07, 2011, 06:35:34 pm »

I'll have to ask him.

Maybe after Vancouver wins another game. Don't want to give him much of a chance to gloat now, ya know?

One more week, and it'll be, "Is it football, yet?"

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #168 on:** June 18, 2011, 02:35:10 pm »

Well, Vancouver failed about as horribly as a hockey team CAN fail. I am sad now...

garfieldelric · « **Reply #169 on:** August 06, 2011, 08:34:27 pm »

Sorry to bring this back up after a few months..... but the 2011 NFL season is on! No more lockout, I can watch the Seahawks now.

Not a good day for the Seahawks..... they got pwned by San Francisco, 33-17.

And the marquee matchup of the week- wow. The Ravens just whacked away at the Steelers, 35-7. Something tells me the Steelers are gonna be in for a rough season....

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #173 on:** September 12, 2011, 06:05:34 pm »

^ For the first thing, yeah, that game was tough to swallow, no matter how much I was expecting it. As for the second thing, that put a HUGE smile on my face!

GregAtlas · « **Reply #174 on:** September 13, 2011, 04:21:21 pm »

I don't like sports in general because I find them boring, but I do like rally racing and drifting Initial D style. Some day I hope to paint my third gen Celica up for a cosplay like the AE86 in Initial D despite them being somewhat different cars.

Oh, and I somewhat like Nascar for the strategy involved, but it is still pretty boring watching them go in circles 200 or so times... Not to mention the ammount of fuel that is wasted on that event it is no wonder we have an oil shortage lol.

Oh, and thanks to Hajime no Ippo I have a respect for boxing, but still feel it is pretty brutal. Certainly makes for good exercise though.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #175 on:** September 14, 2011, 02:24:48 pm »

^ I have a great deal of respect for Hajime no Ippo; it talks about boxing on a level that novices can follow while also having things in there for the most advanced boxing fan to not get bored with. That, and it's just fun.

garfieldelric · « **Reply #176 on:** September 22, 2011, 06:36:54 am »

Week 2 of the NFL season is in the books, and just as I thought, I wrote off the 'Hawks against Pittsburgh, and I was right. 24-0, that is PUNCHLESS on the Seahawks part.

And, interesting to note, EVERYONE in the AFC North is in first place with a 1-1 record. How crazy is that, now?

hellscabane · « **Reply #177 on:** September 23, 2011, 03:15:22 pm »

Oooh...I love me some sports. Love NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, NCAAFB, and NCAABB...

Just gotta say, the NFL season is shaping up to be another fun and crazy year. (Then again, when isn't that the case?)

As for MLB, as someone who has picked the Phillies to win it all this year, their current six-game losing streak is quite concerning...However, both NL and AL wild card races are still fairly close, so it'll make a heck of a final week.

BTW, how about college football and stuff?

garfieldelric · « **Reply #178 on:** October 03, 2011, 07:15:48 am »

NFL Week 4 Update....
Aw, crap! Seattle lost a CLOSE on 30-28.

In other news, the Ravens are now in sole possession of first place in the AFC North, with a 34-17 murdering of the Jets.
Also, the Packers and Lions are now the last two undefeated teams remaining in the league this year.

GregAtlas · « **Reply #179 on:** October 03, 2011, 07:27:41 am »

Just went to the Maryhill loops on the 1st for the first time. On the way up I got stuck behind an SUV so it wasn't much fun (but I got the chance to enjoy the view) but I got some nice pictures from the top and had some fun going down hill

I couldn't go all out Initial D style with traffic on the road though... I might be crazy enough to drive sideways, but I'm still a responsible driver.

Got some good pictures of the car show at the Maryhill Museum shortly after as well.

What's funny about that is that they won't be facing each other until week 12! I doubt that either one will remain undefeated by then, let alone both!

I played Ultimate Frisbee in high school. Does that count?

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #184 on:** October 03, 2011, 10:23:44 pm »

Not in doing it, but I've watched people play it before.

garfieldelric · « **Reply #185 on:** October 09, 2011, 09:36:41 pm »

Well, week 5 is done and over with- and the Ravens and Rams took the week off.

Hard to believe the 49ers are on top of the NFC West. However, we have found out that the Seahawks are NOT as punchless as we think- by beating the Giants 35-26 today, we know that we could be contenders. We think.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #186 on:** October 11, 2011, 03:34:57 pm »

Agreed. Plus, if they scored the possible game-winning field goal against Atlanta, then Seattle would have a winning record right now. Oh, well.

Favorite things about the season thus far: Detroit and Green bay are both still undefeated, Buffalo is on top of the AFC East, Houston and Tennessee are leading the AFC South, and Indianapolis is winless.

garfieldelric · « **Reply #187 on:** October 16, 2011, 08:24:00 pm »

And so, week six is done and over with. The Seahawks took the week off, so no news from them.

The Lions finally took one on the chin to the 49ers. As a result, the two teams now have the same record, but one is in first, the other is second in their division.

The Packers are still the Packers, and now stand alone as the league's only undefeated team this year. On the other side of the coin, I think it is safe to say the Colts are now dead men walking. There's also a very good chance that they could finish 0-16. How sad.

The Ravens- what can we say? They are NOT letting up. They are starting to put more distance between them and the rest of the AFC North. So, if you want to make bets, bet on them to win their division.

I don't think it's sad; I think it's hilarious AND proves my point that the only reason that they've been good in the past is because of Peyton, who was only as good as he was because of his front line.

Also, GO CARDINALS!!! ONE DOWN, THREE MORE TO GO!!!

garfieldelric · « **Reply #189 on:** October 23, 2011, 08:22:19 pm »

Time for our week 7 report!

The Seahawks and Browns- darn, that was rather pathetic and pointless. That score is what you'd see during a Mariners/Indians game, not this! *sigh*

Packers are moving on up, still..... Rams, Dolphins are still pathetic...... and the Colts hole is only getting deeper. Reality is starting to settle in them. They just might get Andrew Luck in 2012. You can take THAT all the way to the bank, now.

Ravens/Jaguars tomorrow, I'll post that in an update.

10/25 UPDATE: *sigh* That was NOT what the Ravens had in mind in that game. What an utter disappointment. Still, I think that they are for real.... I wouldn't let that loss get to them.

Oh, and today is the 25th anniversary of Game 6 of the 1986 World Series!

Animeman73 · « **Reply #190 on:** October 24, 2011, 09:28:00 am »

I got a friend online who lives in the Ravens' neck of the woods so I'll bet any amount of money he'll be rooting for the Ravens all the way.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #191 on:** October 24, 2011, 03:32:31 pm »

I'd almost bet a good deal of money that the Ravens will win tonight.

garfieldelric · « **Reply #192 on:** October 25, 2011, 04:36:37 pm »

It's really odd to think about the fact that we MAY have not one, not two, but three 0-16 teams this season! That has got to be an epic first, in all the wrong ways, should that happen. *shudder* It also begs the question; should those three teams (Rams, Colts, Dolphins) end up 0-16, who gets the first pick in the 2012 NFL Draft?

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #193 on:** October 25, 2011, 04:59:15 pm »

Well, the first thing to look at would be if any of them will be facing off this year; they are not.

Next, they would base it off of the tie breaker procedures, only in this case, the "loser" of the steps would be #1. The first step that would apply, though, would be "Strength of Victory." In this case, though, it'd be "Who got their butts kicked the most."

garfieldelric · « **Reply #194 on:** October 30, 2011, 09:20:26 pm »

Time for another ticker from me, Garfieldelric....

Inspired by World Champion St. Louis Cardinals, Rams finally put it together and win first game over Saints, 31-21...... Lions steamroll Broncos 45-10, in which the Tebowing craze strikes again...... Ravens escape with their lives over Arizona Cardinals, 30-27...... Seahawks disappoint against Bengals, 34-12...... Colts might become a story on 1000 Ways to Die after loss to Tennessee, 27-10...... more news later......

garfieldelric · « **Reply #195 on:** October 31, 2011, 08:54:37 am »

And now, some late-breaking news this morning. After 33 years managing in the big leagues, and fresh off his third World Series title, Tony La Russa has decided to retire. Happy retirement, man.

garfieldelric · « **Reply #196 on:** November 06, 2011, 08:32:06 pm »

Week 9 update!

Seattle sunk again, as usual, to Tony Romo and his Cowboys, 23-13. Some of us like to bring back that memory of what happened in the playoffs close to five years ago. Aah, memories.

And Miami finally won one! It looks the Colts have Andrew Luck in 2012 in the bag. Congrats!

Pittsburgh..... heh-heh. Their fans suffered a collective heart attack when the Ravens snached the lead with 8 seconds left! Final Score: Baltimore 23, Pittsburgh 20.

GregAtlas · « **Reply #197 on:** November 12, 2011, 05:23:49 am »

I wish the Portland International Raceway were less expensive to get into for participation, plus the hoops you have to jump through are rediculous.

garfieldelric · « **Reply #198 on:** November 15, 2011, 02:35:51 pm »

Week 10 has ended.... and here we go.

Wow, the Seahawks sure surprised everyone with their win over the Ravens. I kinda expected Baltimore to win, but for us, a win is a win.

Green Bay and Indianapolis are one more step towards 'perfection', one in the right direction, the other, not so much.

Washougal_Otaku, I was gonna attend the Hawks game this past Sunday, but I had a read-through (play) to attend to, and I thought I was gonna be disappointed, but eh well....

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #199 on:** November 22, 2011, 08:39:27 pm »

^ Aww, that would have been fun to have gone to!

So, there are 6 weeks left to the NFL season! Here are my current predictions!

AFC
1 Patriots 13-3
2 Ravens 13-3
3 Texans 11-5
4 Raiders 10-6
5 Steelers 12-4
6 Bengals 11-5

NFC
1 Packers 15-1
2 49ers 14-2
3 Saints 12-4
4 Cowboys 10-6
5 Bears 11-5
6 Falcons 11-5

Steelers def. Raiders, Texans def. Bengals, Bears def. Cowboys, Saints def. Falcons
Steelers def. Patriots, Ravens def. Texans, Packers def. Bears, Saints def. 49ers
Ravens def. Steelers, Packers def. Saints
Packers def. Ravens
