The Afc is so boring. Pats Ravens Steelers Colts Broncos almost always. Wow such parity
parity in the NFL is the most overblown thing. baseball and hockey are better at it

meanwhile over half the teams in the NFL make the playoffs every year

32 teams in the NFL
12 make the playoffs
"Over half"

I can't speak for Hockey but NFL does generally have much higher parity than baseball. In addition it is easier for bad teams to become good in the NFL than other sports.

The main issue is that 3 of those AFC teams have some of the greatest QB's to ever play the game and a bunch of their divisional rivals are run by super idiots each with the power of 5 imbeciles.

yeah i phrased that poorly. i meant to say that over half of the teams that make the playoffs in a given year are the usual suspects. god bless the NFC East- four winners in four years

i don't know if the Giants will be good next year, but if they have Cruz and Beckham healthy the whole year, they will definitely be fun to watch

It's a win-win for Cowboys fans. Either the Cowboys go deep in playoffs and we can laugh at all of you, or the Cowboys gently caress it up and we go back to drowning ourselves in booze in a sad sports daze, like at the beginning of the season.

This guy gets it. It was great a season or two ago when all the NFCE teams were poo poo from the previous year, so we only had like 5 NFC east prime time games.

Compared to the billion we normally get.

A t 20 game is probably much more action packed than the average baseball game.

probably. there's a lot more ball-scratching by players and managers in baseball than there is actual action

that's not saying a whole lot - i'm sure less goes on in an average half hour of baseball than in an average half hour of a test match...

cricket also has glenn "THE BIG SHOW" maxwell who manages to make himself look like a real bogan all of the time which is pretty great

hockey talk, world juniors on. germany can't score a goal. also USA vs CAN on the 31st.

tried to play nhl 09 on my desktop but it's poo poo, guess I'll have to get the xbox360 nhl 15. gently caress that, I hate fun.

I also hope for the hawks and pens to continue a run to the stanley cup, so the hawks can win and exorcise that demon from '92. I have that blackhawks vhs season recap, it makes me cry openly every time I watch.

also played 7 beer league holiday tournament hockey games in 3 days here and now I hibernate. till jan 2nd when I play again.
