    If I understood the tv guys correctly then the NFL doesn't use the draft lottery like the NHL does. Many people don't like that here in the great warming north but I think it should be mandatory for these leagues... It just seems such a bad idea to definitively reward finishing last, although I am also sceptical if there is anyone who does actually try to lose, all these playing staff gits are playing or coaching for their careers but still.. I'm all for the draft lottery, it can also lead to hilarious situations like Buffalo tanking and then Edmonton getting macdavid...

    Brady's great and all and good for him I certainly wouldn't mind him winning again but I'm hoping someone else wins it this time, Brady has had his time but if he does win, we'll all we can do is say hats off Brady... And maybe take off any hats we have..

    You know... that is not such a bad idea. One thing that totally rubs me the wrong way is how the TV commentators harp on the Jets trying to win a game. Really?? So now making sure you finish last is part of the game? Yeah... I don't know what the right answer is. Maybe a draft lottery wouldn't be such a bad idea after all. Only problem with that is imagine if the Chiefs were to get the 1st pick of the draft... LOL. It would be like what you said about Buffalo and Edmonton.

    In fact, I admire the Jets for trying to win. How bad would it look for the game if they didn't... all because of a draft pick? Usually this isn't such a big deal, because winless teams are not all that common in the NFL. But geez... even the commentators are cheering for the Jets to throw games. Something definitely wrong with that.

    Well the NHL draft lottery is pretty good, if you qualify for the play offs you're not eligible for the lottery, and the chances of teams increases the closer to the bottom they are. The NHL does like the first ten picks or something as a lottery so the Canucks lost a place a couple of years in a row, there's a few other rules in there too, either way I like it better than just the straight last place finishers get the pick automatically.

    Wow!

    New York Giants fans must be sick to their stomach. They won their game today, and only needed for the Philadelphia Eagles to beat the Washington No Names, in order to make the playoffs. So what do the Eagles do? They sit their QB, Jalen Hurts in a 3-point game late in the game so they could (cough) take a look at their 3rd string QB... and proceeded to throw the game away. What the hell... the Eagles weren't going anywhere, so it's no skin off their backs. But man... what a way to end the season and thumb their noses at the NY Giants. I'm betting the Giants will remember that going into next season and will be looking to bury the Eagles the first chance they get.

    Meanwhile, my Steelers made it, although losing to the Cleveland Browns. Next week they face them again in the Wild Card weekend and, although nothing personal against the Browns... I'll be rooting for the Steelers, of course.

    Also Tampa Bay won in impressive fashion. I'm rooting for them also, because I want Tom Brady to further cement his legacy as NFL quarterback GOAT. They'll be playing the No Names next week.

    If the Steelers should lose, I'll be rooting for the perennial losers, the Buffalo Bills. They look super impressive this season, and may end up in the AFC Championship Game against the KC Chiefs (the next team to be stripped of its name by the PC police, I'd bet) .

    Next weekend will be the first of my two weekends where I OD on the NFL playoffs. Three games on Saturday... three on Sunday. I plan on watching at least 4 of the 6 games.

    Lockdown may be responsible for me watching an entire day of NFL this weekend!

    Bills 13-3
    Chiefs 14-2
    Steelers 12-4
    Titans 11-5


    WASHINGTON makes playoffs at 7-9 LMAO!! with a 1-win winning streak!!
    Packers 13-3
    Seahawks 12-4
    Saints 12-4


    My Pack are riding 6 game winning strike, most this NFL season ending.

    I will go Bills over the Colts
    SeaHawks over Rams week 1.

    Bucks over Washington or face the biggest laugh out the playoffs in history!! Talk about a no win scenario for Tampa, they are supposed to win!
    Steelers over Browns
    Saints over Bears.
    All's lost! Everything's going to shit!

    Not sure, but I think if the Buccaneers win, their reward will be a trip to Green Bay. Damn... that one looks uphill.

    Slim, I know you're a Packer fan... but I'm gonna have to be rooting for the Bucs if that happens.

    Right now though, it looks like it could be a Packers-Chiefs Super Bowl... which curiously would be a rematch of the VERY FIRST SUPER BOWL!!!

    Saints just trucking along. Kamara has entered another level completely but lets hope we actually have a starting RB unlike last week, thanks covid . Bears pretty beat up on defense so unless we shoot ourselves in the foot *cough penalties Saints should clean up.

    Brady or Rodgers? Who does one root for? As tough as Leonard or Hearns? Hearns or Hagler? I love it when 2 tops make it that are both worth rooting for!

    Hey, if they both make it thats a win for me to see those old dudes school them youngins!!!

    We're so fortunate to be living in the age of Brady, Rodgers, Brees, and a handful of others who will certainly be in the HOF. I like Rodgers and always have... but I'd be tickled pink if Brady and the Bucs make it into the Super Bowl.

    Not much of a chance against the Pack, though.
