NFL Playoff Thread: Division Round

Going back to that Super Bowl I broadcast for a minute, there's a good story by Yahoo's Eric Adelson on why it's taken so long for it to happen. Apparently there is a tape of the game owned by an anonymous guy in Pennsylvania, and it surfaced years ago. He offered to sell it to the NFL for $1 million, but they refused:

Why the NFL is unable to re-air original broadcast of Super Bowl I

 

That's a good read, Batman ... with the money quote from the tape owner's rep at the end: "It's not worth us to undergo litigation with the behemoth that is the NFL," Harwood says. "It may never be seen. It's too bad."

The NFL's lawyers are meaner, nastier and more ruthless than the Mafia's.

 

It's amazing how the NFL can't suck it up for a million dollars, which is small change to that league.
It's also amazing how the tape owner can't suck it up and share the treasure for a five-figure reward.

So everybody everywhere loses, for decades. Because these asshats won't check their egos at the door.

Strike a deal. Thrill the fans. And do it while those who watched the game are still around to see it again.

 

Was thinking the same thing but blame the NFL. Fuck em. The guy has something valuable and has the leverage. Those greedy fucks expect everyone to bend over backward for them. Good for him.

 

Brown is Out for Sunday's game at Denver. Can't wait to see Adam Jones' apology
Congratulations on the win, Denver.
Fuck you Vontaze Burfict.

 

Without the penalty and the circus afterwards the Steelers aren't playing this weekend anyways.

 

Agreed. Team owners can get $100 million for not getting their LA bid, but $1 million to a fan is about $990,000 too much? Brilliant!

Picks:

Patriots -4.5
Packers +7
Panthers -1. I'd take Carolina up to -6. Truly think last week's frozen game will fatigue Seattle late.
Can't find a Pit-Den number. Like the Broncos by 4.

 

Denver opened at +6.5. It's up to 7.

 

It'll be 10 by kickoff.

 

-6.5
