R.I.P. Art Modell...

Damn he died huh. I read that he had been hospitalized yesterday. Ironic that he moved the Browns to Baltimore in the same manner that Baltimore lost the Colts.

Yeah my family called & told me about that earlier today. I've actually met the guy 5 times while living in Baltimore & I can say that the guy was very personable. Some people who reach that status tend to shy away, be in a rush to get away from the fans but Art was a legit nice guy, actually took the time to ask me some questions about the team, how long I'd been a fan. Still one of the funniest things I can remember considering how dignified the guy was:

"Ya know what, son? I hate the goddamn Steelers, it's a feeling in the pit of my gut, it's not a choice."

Guy's done so much for the League & the NFL just lost one of the last remnants of a special era. THIS is the man resonsible for representing the owners & getting the NFL slots on television for Sundays & MNF.

Any Cowboys who are dreaming Superbowl pump the brakes sucka, last night's game had positives and negatives for both team.Now the second half came down to the Rushing game.The Giants could not stop Murray and with the fear of Murray to break one, it opened up the passing lanes for Austin/Witten/Bryant and Ogletree.Wow 2 TD's for Ogletree the Cowboys found a gem there.Don't get too excited as this might be the biggest performance of the season for him, the NFL is just like that.The Cowboys at time looked unstoppable and we have seen them do this before.For years this has happened and I would say if the Cowboys want to win a Wild Card spot or the Division they better get that great production like last night the whole section not in spurts.As for the Giants last night, they finally realized losing Jacobs and Manningham did effect them! Jacobs especially as Bradshaw is not a feature back as he saw the Cowboys knock his ass around the whole night.Before Jacobs could be plugged into the game and wham he would smash defenders just like that.If I am a Cowboys fan right now be happy by this win, if I am a Giants fan be very afraid the blue print is there, they better make some adjustments.

I love how you guys are acting like Superbowl wins mean nothing. Of course they don't mean everything, but they do mean a lot and it does separate some of the greats. It definitely separates Romo and Eli, their playoff success alone does that, not just the Superbowls. And yes I'm well aware that Superbowls are team accomplishments, but everyone knows that the QB is the most important position on a team and if your QB isn't playing well then there is no chance in hell that you're winning a Superbowl. Eli was incredible both years they won the Superbowl, in particularly last year, and it sure the hell wasn't due to luck.

Oh and I also love how people bring up some terrible QBs that have won superbowls to try to justify their case, like Dilfer(fuck the spelling), but they clearly weren't the reasons their team won. Eli was a major reason why the Giants won so there isn't any comparison between the two superbowl runs and it doesn't add to anyone's point.

It took you this long to chime in?

Bullshit I'm acting like SBs mean nothing. I clearly stated that the QB deserves a good share of a championship, but this doesn't define his greatness alone. If you think it does, watch more ESPN. As for Eli v Romo, still don't care about who is better. I still only care that Dallas beat NYG.

And yes, Eli gets lucky. Deny it all you want.

**Magic** · 09-06-2012, 02:35 PM

I didn't look at the thread until now. waiting for the HYPE to start.

**MrMister** · 09-06-2012, 02:41 PM

Yeah that was just a joke question man. Come on.

UDFK, do you think Eli Manning is a Hall of Famer?

**WWF** · 09-06-2012, 02:42 PM

WWF'S HIGHLY VALUED OPINION

: Romo is a more skilled player than Manning, Eli is more of a 'gunslinger' and gets rewarded for the chances he routinely takes. I'd say Manning is akin to Favre with how he plays the game, and Romo is a more methodical, technical player.

**Mikey Damage** · 09-06-2012, 02:43 PM

Dallas is probably going to win the East. Good for them.

I like Romo a lot. He's way better than given credit for by the masses. But even with my affinity for him, I still think Eli is better. Eli was a boss last year. I can't let one game flip the order from last year.

That said, I bet Romo is better this year.
