Someone is still salty cause Harden will easily win the regular season MVP again.

Like I said, if you can't come up with anything else that is new or beyond elementary, then please stop wasting my time and yours. I'm not interested in debates in where the other person's entire argument is, "I just know it is" or, "Because I said so."

Keep on being salty in the meantime Harden upped his scoring average so that it is now the highest since MJ averaged 37.09 during the 86-87 season and the only player to score 30 or more points in consecutive games longer is Wilt Chamberlain.  Harden is on pace to have the best offensive season of anyone in the NBA in the past 30 years while also being near the top of the list of assists and steals this season.  Not only are super salty you are a bigger hater then the people I mentioned earlier in this thread.

The Chiefs taking that game to overtime is actually somewhat of an accomplishment since the Patriots could have easily scored the 36 points they ended up with during regulation time since they passed on two easy field goals. Also if Kareem Hunt wouldn't have been a knuckle head in the off season their chances of winning that game would have been a lot better.

I'd hardly call the Chiefs' performance incompetent.

So the Patriots are just THAT good. 

And they are not going away anytime soon since they have a bunch of bonus draft picks in the upcoming draft (12 total) and their cap situation looks good also.  Plus more then likely it looks like they have their future head coach already once Belechick retires in Josh McDaniels.

So, they're pretty much primed, set, and ready to become the New York Yankees of football. Kinda figured since everywhere I look, on and off the internet, I see mostly hatred, contempt, and bitterness at the mention of their name. Just like the Yankees.

I'd say they are almost nothing like the Yankees. The reason the Yankees are dominant is largely because they just dump money on everything and fill their roster with all stars. That isn't how the Patriots work. They have Tom Brady, but beyond that their game doesn't revolve around all stars and individual performance. It is entirely system based. They play solid, smart football which utilizes mostly middle of the road players and makes them look like all stars.

Bit late, was extraordinarily hung over this morning.

# Username Record/PDT vs. Record/PDT Username # HFA
10 Carl 1-1 (11) vs. 1-1 () burninmylight 4 24
9 Farsala 1-1 (11) vs. 1-1 (14) MTZehvor 6 15

HFA saved me, while burninmylight was hosed by sending his prediction to himself until it was too late for the first game. Unfortunate series of events, but perhaps a decent reminder as any to try and get picks in early in case something jank like that happens.

As a result, the final round is...

# Username Record/PDT vs. Record/PDT Username # HFA
10 Carl
vs.
MTZehvor 6  -----

No HFA for the final round. Carl and I will send our picks to Rol.

Damn, I'm so sick of seeing the Patriots in the SuperBowl dude. Like, is the AFC that incompetent or are the Patriots really that freaking good?

I'd hardly call the Chiefs' performance incompetent.

It was Dee Ford that cost them the game, really.



So I'm taking the very low road here in order to encourage more people to be Patriots' fans for the Super Bowl.

If you root for the Rams, you're rooting for the team that's owned by a guy that's literally driven a man to suicide before.

But what does that have to do with the men playing on the football field? Is that owner out on the field making pancake blocks? Lol. I mean I want the patriots to win but I can't tell if you're joking or not.

I'll take my own wins.

If the Patriots win the Super Bowl then at least I can say my team was the last team to beat the Super Bowl champs. (Quite convincingly I might add, as long as it's at home :P)

If the Patriots lose, then they lose.
