Sorry I watch football ... I hardly watch any new movies because of CGI ... now football ... please. Having a winning head coach sit for a staged event where green crap is poured over his head ... come on man! I would not want to see a losing head subjected to that. Again could this be Roger making this part of The network package/agreement and Sean had no say or choice.

The team doing a Gatoraid dump on their coach I get that .... not staged but in the moment and a sign of respect and team support.

At least Baseball has remained true to the sport and not tried any of this silly crap.

I'm sorry but I totally disagree. I think it's one of Payton's redeeming qualities. I love that he is willing to do things a little off the cuff, and I think it's great for the team to see.

It was Payton's idea. Don't forget he has kids that were raised with Nickelodeon. And baseball needs to get with the program. They have already lost the newer generations. That's why the popularity of the NFL is constantly growing worldwide while baseball is shrinking even faster.

Don't forget that there was a time when the forward pass in football was a novelty and no games were televised. You're sounding like a grumpy old man.

Probably would have made better sense to slime Coach Nagy.

I think the term "strong win" may be a bit off.

We were a wide open dropped TD pass away from going into Half losing.

The offense was super shaky in the first half and managed to get going in the second. I don't know why we continue to come out flat in the playoffs, but against a better team, we'd have lost. Bucs could be that team if we don't get going early.

Agreed. Saints let the Bears hang around way too long. And I realize that there were missed opportunities for both teams, but Brady will capitalize on those. Count on it. The mere fact that we beat them twice this season doesn't make me feel more confident about this game.

I hope the players don't walk in with a mentality that they already won.

Look what happened to Pittsburgh last night as a perfect example of what happens when players mail in the W before the game even starts.

Exactly, in the playoffs, like it or not, Brady is successful.

Pittsburgh talked so much crap leading up to the game and were down 28-0 in the blink of an eye. I'm not saying we need to light up the scoreboard, but we can't have Jared Cook gifting defenders INT's or Taysom turning a sure touchdown into a backbreaking fumble.

We just need to play solid, mistake free football and we'd win.

Goodell is all about pushing this Nickelodeon stuff but probably still too prissy to get green-slimed himself.
