Yeah I agree , the Eagles are going to have to play a lot better - looked out of sorts against Chicago . Anyway I'll prob do top 12's 10's 5's tonight - Oakland @ San Diego this Friday ( our time ) Beauty ! Might even try and tip the winners this week - post that on the weekend - San Diego to win against the Raiders to start off . 15 games next Sunday / Monday btw

Bad luck Dappa but I don't reckon you're quite done yet . You could be within 1 game in 2 weeks time . The Eagles surely will take care of Arizona at home and the Giants have a tough one at San Fran . Then you play each other at NY . A lot can happen in this League and injuries can play a big part as well . And Dallas will drop a few games you'd think . The Giants don't get an easy game until week 15 - they've got the Saints away in week 12 , Green Bay at home in week 13 and they've got to go to Dallas in week 14 . In those same weeks you've got N.E at home ( they're not that good anymore ) then @ Seattle , then @ Miami . If the Giants win most of their remaining games then it's over but ya never know . 10 / 6 might be enough to win the division .

You gave me an idea with the Jasper Carrott post ( which I liked btw ) Maybe a "Humourous Clips" thread - what do you think ? Benny , Hoges , Hale and Pace , Dave Allen , D Gen , Two Ronnies , etc etc

Just having a bit of fun with thst no.1 team - has to be the pack ! RB's and WR's it is then ! Have to look at stats now !

Yeah , a bit of a different top 12 this week hey - I'll wait till Wednesday to post mine - would like to see a few other poster's top 12 as well - gives us something to talk about till next weeks games - maybe a top 10 QB's as well - whadaya reckon ? Btw I may even have a different no.1 Team ! And how was that Ravens / Steelers game ? Lived up to it's billing - Flacco was really good again - he's getting better . Looking forward to the Eagles / Bears game - Tuesday night football !

Yep , the Jets are right back in it now and the Pats have got some competition in that division - Eli was good and the Giants won't go away easily . Watched the Packers game on delay and the Chargers came back well and could easily have won it in the end - a real shootout . The Texans , the 49ers and the Bengals just keep winning - Atlanta are sneakin' up there and that AFC West is a crapshoot !

Yeah Demon - jumping right off KC ! ( sorry "pantaloons" ) How did they lose by so much at home ? To Miami ? And you're right about the Texans - they should win their division and if they win enough games ................... I'll revisit my top 12 again on Wednesday ! 49ers just keep rolling along hey - good to see .

" Person of Interest " is worth a look - it's a bit "out there" but if you like that sort of thing ................ And "Louie" is excellent - more of a comedy/drama than a straight comedy but very funny in parts .

Macca 1.3

Nice one WYL - Top quality Video as well for 72' - Yeah , Chuck was the King and as you may well know , a fairly big influence on the Fab Four . We might have a bit of fun on this thread - All good ! Nice to have a couple of browser's open - Listen and watch some good Rock on one and chew the fat about the Mighty Demons on the other - Keep postin' !

Macca 1.2

Here's an interesting little exercise - Top 12 teams 1 - Green Bay ( Just have to ) 2 - Pittsburgh 3 - Baltimore 4 - 49ers ( ya just gotta like this story ) 5 - New England 6 - Philadelphia ( starting to hit their straps ) 7 - New Orleans 8 - Detroit ( they ain't goin away ) 9 - N Y Giants 10 - Buffalo 11 - Houston 12 - KC The above picks before week 9 - it could all change next week ! Haven't got room for the Jets , Chargers , Dallas or Cinci - San Diego and the Jets are BIG outs but I'm thinking that KC may win the AFC West and , if the Bills beat the Jets this week ..................

Picking best Quarterbacks is such a tough ask but I'll have a go This season 1 - Rodgers 2 - Brady 3 - Big Ben 4 - Brees 5 - Vick Overall 1 - Brady 2 - Big Ben 3 - Rodgers 4 - Brees 5 - Manning Eli I've left Peyton out because he's not playing otherwise he'd be 3 . Ben may surprise a few but 2 Super Bowl rings .............his numbers aren't fabulous but he finds a way to win and he's as tough as .. Best to watch 1 - Vick 2 - Rodgers 3 - Big Ben 4 - Eli 5 - Cam Special mention to Rex Grossman ! Cheers

There's a few on this thread hoping for a Seattle win ( for various reasons ) .

I agree with you re the tanking - though I don't like any part of it - however small . The NBA have a lottery system ( as you know ) and there is very little tanking talk - a simple solution but it may never happen in the AFL cos of the aversion to anything American . What has "Vlad" said over and over again - "There is no such thing as tanking" - what a joke ! Yeah , as ya said - top line up of games this week - wish I could watch them all ! Might be some "trap" games in there - there usually is ! The Packers , Pats , Eagles and Saints still need to bring their A games this week .

Mostly current day stuff with a bit of retro thrown in. I'll try and post a song whenever I can. Nearly all the songs I post will have charted well as singles. I'm mainly into mainstream rock. Thought we could use "Rock" as a theme. Mainstream, Alternative, Indie, Modern, Metal, Death, Retro, Garage, Hard, Pop Rock, Rock n Roll, Glam, Progressive, Psychedelic, 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's ......anything that resembles rock. I'll start off with Chevelle's 'Jars' Add your own videos with or without a write up. Music can sometimes divide opinion but it'd be good if we could keep this as an angst free thread . Doesn't have to be a video by the way, slide show or still vision is fine. Whatever you like! Anyway - just post, watch, listen and enjoy! Music should always be shared. And don't forget to give your ears a bit of punishment! Macca 1.0

http://www.heraldsun...x-1226183144667 The above link lists the 23 players nominated for Ballon d'Or European footballer of the year . Barcelona have 8 of their players put forward ! Including Messi of course . Interestingly La Liga has 13 players nominated , the EPL has 4 , Serie A and the Bundesliga have 2 each . Oh and btw if you want to watch the greatest team in the world strut their stuff , the mighty Barcelona are away to Athletic Bilboa 5.55am this Monday on ESPN (Red and Blue colours of course ) ( Ok , a splash of yellow as well ) Barcelona's games are shown live every week on ESPN - Get on board ! Cheers , Nuggets

Not many upsets last week though the Rams had a great win over the Saints ( who were never really in it ) And KC's win was a bit of a surprise though I thought they played really well - how's that fumbled snap by Philip Rivers ? Who da thunk it ! Yeah , as others have posted it's a mystery why ONEhd aren't doing the NFL live but if ya can hang out till 11.30pm Monday they will show the 49ers @ Washington followed by the Giants @ New England at 2.45am ! The Giants are a bit banged up at the moment and San Francisco should win . For Foxtel viewers the 5am game is the Bucs at New Orleans then at 8.15am it's my team the Packers at San Diego - might have to have one of those mystery 4 hour viruses so I can watch it live !! SNF features the Ravens @ Pittsburgh - this should be a beauty - one of the biggest rivalry's going and always a tough contest hey ! MNF is the Bears @ Philadelphia - another good match up though the Eagles are starting to fire . It's a good round of games with a couple of "bottlers" in the Jets @ Buffalo and Cinci @ Tennessee , and you'd reckon that Houston will beat Cleveland at home and KC should take care of Miami at home as well . The "tanking" talk in the states is gaining momentum - would have thought they'd have a lottery system by now ( like the NBA ) It's looking like it's gonna be the Colts or Miami that will get Andrew Luck - both teams have a lot of "loseable" games ! Cheers , Nuggets

Yeah , Philadelphia spanked the 'boys on SNF - Dallas just didn't turn up - disappointing game for the neutral fan , but you'd be happy ! As A Packers the fan it's the Giants and the Eagles that worry me the most though my team should have home field advantage this time . Can't see a wildcard coming out of this division so the Eagles are gonna have to win it . The Giants have a really tough run though and it's too early to discount Dallas completely , The Redskins will provide nuisance value . Whoever wins the NFC East will be dangerous in the playoffs you'd reckon . Cheers

Mamma Mia !!

I did this once - but I had an ulterior motive !

Just watched the replay - again ! That was one hell of a game - Has to go down in folklore . Especially if the Cardinals go on to win the whole thing ! 8 hours to game 7 ! Can't wait - C'mon Carpenter - " Do the Business !" ( even though I'm a Redsox fan ! )
