    On the heels of the Marlins dumping the Mets in season-finale series at Shea in 2007 and 2008.

    Brett Favre in the last five games:

    98-for-175, 1,011 yards, two touchdowns and nine interceptions. That's a 55.2 QB rating.

    Nobody in the NFC was being touted as a Super Bowl contender other than the Giants until they lost a game or two, and then it was "holy shit, Carolina could be the No. 1 seed!" So it's hard to hold the Bucs' lack of Super Bowl buzz against them, because nobody outside of the Giants and early Dallas was getting any.

    Perhaps Favre should have been a separate option in the poll.

    The Bucs, easy. You're playing Oakland, a team that takes pride in not playing for or with pride, and you've got a 24-14 lead, and you still manage to blow it? I'm sure the Raiders were even pissed over that development.

    Cherry picking numbers to prove a point. There are four more playoff teams in the NFL than in MLB. But you know that. Yet you posted that list anyway. Try to respond without going over-the-top, if you can.

    12. Phoenix
    14. Minneapolis
    17. San Diego
    26. Pittsburgh

    Fixed.

    Poor Miami, Phoenix and Minneapolis. Not a competitive baseball team in the bunch.

    I agree that it is better that fans in places as tiny as Nashville and Charlotte get to watch their teams in the playoffs.

    What's your wise-ass comment for Pittsburgh? Kansas City? Milwaukee, which gave up the store for a rental of Sabathia and now have seen him go... god, where did he go again?
