NFL Week 13 Thread: Stevie Johnson won't forgive G-d for being a Steelers fan

[Bubbler]

The ACME Packers make their triumphant return.

Yuck.

The big question is will Todd Haley, if given the chance, run it up on Denver? I think it could be an ugly game at Arrowhead. Haley called off the dogs last year when Jamal Charles could have gotten the NFL single-game rushing record at Denver. I think this time, Haley might turn Charles loose.

Didn't Denver beat the shirt out of them 3-4 weeks ago? Who says this game will be a blowout? Kyle Orton is going to get down 2-3 scores and then they are going to tossing touchdown passes all over the place.

Yep, ugly game at Mile High. All Denver in that one. And I'm not saying the game will be a blowout. I said if Haley gets the chance, will he run it up?

Denver's in the tank with the Spygate crap and this game is at Arrowhead. I'd be surprised if Kansas City didn't cruise to a win.

I'm shocked -- SHOCKED -- that Andre Johnson was not suspended by the NFL and won't have to sit out a game being broadcast on the NFL Network. Shocked.

C'mon, that's just a coincidence.

I'm with you on the sarcasm. However, the NFL couldn't do anything more to Johnson and Finnegan, because then they would have drawn a distinction between that and Richard Seymour when both were considered fights just the same.

And then Steelers fans like myself would've shut down message boards worldwide with conspiracy theories.

Johnny-come-lately humps.

Oz, I would agree if not for the NFL's willy-nilly handling of the helmet-hit fines.

I don't think the NFL accounted for fights to happen, exposing just how outrageous the amounts have been the past month or two. But because fights are included in the collective bargaining agreement and helmet-to-helmet hits aren't, Goodell's been doing what he wishes there.

They should take away all their pads and make them wear leather helmets if they're going to wear those unis.

Perhaps, but color me skeptical. The league doesn't want one of its biggest stars on the sidelines, per league mandate, for a game being broadcast on its private network.

If it wasn't for fantasy football, nobody would know who he is.

He is a great player, but calling him a star might be pushing it.

If it wasn't for fantasy football, nobody would know who anyone in the NFL was, except for dog killers, rapists, Brady and Manning.

Eli or Peyton?

You are right. Fantasy sports greatly increased name recognition for football players among marginal fans.

This is the dumbest thing you've said since, well, the last thing you said. Andre Johnson is generally considered the most talented receiver in the NFL. By fans, coaches and the media.

But stars are people that most people know.

Brad Pitt is a star but Mandy Patankin is a great actor. Clinton Portis is still a star in DC, but he is far from a great player.

A star does not always equal a great player.

Phil Mickelson can't win the big one.
