In that lineup you will find a range of people from unemployed to 7 figure salary executives.

So...next attempt to try and be smarmy about the Packers?

I call B.S. No way anyone making 7 figures chooses to live in Green Bay.

That only counts if they stay there in the offseason or after they retire.

LOL....oh sure you could...you just did it as a matter of fact.

I honestly dont understand how anyone could dislike the guy...with what he has had to deal with and how he handled it, i simply cannot come up with anyone who has more class and humbleness in the entire league.

To each their own i suppose.

Oh man, cannot wait for the games today this is the best weekend of the year in my opinion the elite 8.

Not gonna lie im nervous like every playoff game i take nothing for granted. I'm confident but nervous i really think the Pats/Broncos will be closer than the mediots predict.

That said Go Pats, rockin the pats gear all day, sideline hat and authentic brady blue jersey

I hate how the Saints game is first up, my stomach's in knots already. Good news for the Saints is the weather in San Fran is perfect; high of 68, sunny, and winds under 5mph. Can't ask for much better than that this time of year.

I'm going 27-20 Saints, should be a tight one.

Sounds like there was no funny business with the field at Candlestick. The Saints practiced on it yesterday and said it was perfect.

I need a win today to erase the memory of LSU on Monday night from my mind.

Saints 31 - 20
Patriots 37 - 24
Ravens 24 - 21
Packers 30 - 27

Im not nervous at all, although the Pats did get in the habit this year of slow starts on the offense. Im not so sure I'd want to do that this game- keep the fans in it and don't give the Broncos any more confidence. Scoring on the first drive would be huge.

I took last years playoff game for granted way to over confident so i dont want to get to high to have a potential big let down.

However.... i did make a bet with a buddy that if the broncos won i would tattoo "Tebow" on my ass. I will fully go through with it if that happens, so maybe i was over confident?

I thought the Broncos would have a chance against Pittsburgh because the game would likely be close. That said, I was not at all confident they would win until I watched the game progress through the first half.

I feel even less confident about the Broncos ability to stay in this game and have a chance to win. That's actually a nice position to be in for me. Going in with low expectations (barely above no expectations) really allows me to enjoy the game as a Broncos fan. At least to start.

I don't ever get that as a Flames fan because I go into almost every game expecting them to compete for a win.

Oh man just watched Brady 6 im so fired up, how can anyone not love Brady so much heart, fire, passion, desire and fight to win.

199 overall could a franchise be more lucky?
