Proof power rankings are crap...
 
... as if you really needed it.

We beat the Jets and stay at #4. They lose and move UP from #6 to #5.


Only ESPN could be so full of crap.

Thats why they aren't even worth reading or posting!!!
They don't matter and we really shouldn't give a crap what any of them say. All that matters is the W and L columns, not the BS columns.

Charles Davis has the Saints at #3 and Mike Martz has them at #2. Both have the sleeping Giants at #1. Well we will just have to see about that!:lightsabres:

i know the rankings dont matter, but, i have to admit, i cant wait to see where we are every tuesday. i guess i care what people have to say about the saints.

i also rewind and fastforward through espn all day to find whatever commentary i can find on my boys.

i'm a magic fan and i always like to see what espn has them ranked in the nba power rankings, too.

i guess i'm all alone in this. if i'm the only one who cares, i wonder why they keep putting out power rankings every week? i can be narcissistic, but, do they really put those out just for me!?

Fujitia said we didn't blitz much. The ESPN comments says that Sanchez couldn't handle our blitz. ESPN is for yankees.

You are right ...we need the Foreverfan Sports Network! I'll chip in $10 towards startup! You could wear your new B&G Speedos in the broadcast booth.

I'm good for $10 also as long as there is a desk covering the speedo. Don't think we need to see that unless your avatar is the color analyst and has one as well!

Power Rankings make sense only if no one ever put their butts on the field. Since there will be a champion determined on the pitch, giving any attention whatsoever to them is pure testament to a desire to waste time, energy and productivity.

But I sure do love abusing those who do.

Power ranking have a very substantial place in the hearts of many NFL fans from Tuesday - Saturday. With exception to a few times on Thursday and Saturday. And Thanksgiving. And the playoffs. And Superbowl and offseason.

But I love them from Tuesday - Saturday.:mrgreen:

The ranking I don't really care about, but I do enjoy the writer's comments about each team. Its an enjoyable read.

Which is a bigger waste of time? Reading power rankings? Or posting about how much of a waste of time they are? Or spending significant time reading and posting opinions on a football forum? ;)

kinda like the way they pick the champions in college football.

which is why I cant get into college football.

Hey, Danno, I think power rankings are gay, but Im not wasting time here saying so. I'm getting paid as we speak, but I only speak every 4 or 5 minutes, so, you know, you gotta have a diversion. Its either this or Sarah Palin Look-a-likes Gone Wild sites, and that would just give me a --

Humans have this unique sociologic prediliction to abuse those who engage in rediculous behaviour in order to rid the society of that behavior. Rather than simply kill those who engage in intellectually Darwinian activities as many other species do, we find it beneficial to try to herd the outliers back into the pack. Think of me as your personal sherpa, there to whack your nose when you do something stupid. I must point out that you could opt for the alternative.

So you're saying that Payton doesn't look at my draft rankings before he makes a pick?

I simply used both the US and the UK versions of "behavior/behaviour" so that all would feel included in the jest. No sense alienating those who speak the Queen's English.
