And your one friend kinda looks like the bus.
That was my thought too.

Oh, that was misleading?
I was with "friends" and just happened to be at the same bar as the Bus, a Phillies bar no less. He was very cool and polite. My other friend noticed him first, hesitated to get a pic with him, I finally convinced her. Then we sent them a round, but I think they were probably drinking on house or whatever cause there was no charge.
Pic was on his way out.
And yes, Cardinals fan, but sharing the love and going back to my roots. My cards shirt was in the car, but I couldn't bring myself to put it on.

That is fine with me as long as he goes out losing to the Packers twice this year in that ugly Vikings jersey. Doesn't hurt that one of them was a pounding.

Guess my
sarcasm was missed. I knew it was Bettis. Had to be a smart ass though.

I wouldnt want to be the guy that had to do a TSA screen on the Bus. His arms were huge.
Actually, I was surprised that except for our 3 photos, which were quick and asked in advance, that no one else was asking for pics. I'm not sure if many people in the bar even knew he was there. It was very low key and he was just playing cards enjoying a Heinekin.

I'm jealous, truly jealous
The Bus is a class act. I miss what he brought to the Steelers.Nuh-uh! I never knew that
Seriously, I was just messing karamazov, he's a Saints fan. And yes, Pittsburgh was the 6 seed in 05, the Giants were the 5 seed in 07 and even the Ravens were the 5 seed in 2000. All in all though, over Super Bowl history the % of WC teams making it to the SB is low, like only 5 have ever won it (other two were Oakland in 80- sorry badmoon- and Denver in 97).

Bettis is a guy with a very recognizable face, so I'm also surprised more people didn't come up to him. But then, I guess he's been away for a few years. He seems like the kind of guy they would hire to do commentary on the NFL channel (seems friendly and recognizable), so I'm a bit surprised not to see him there, now that I think about it.

Average point spread this week was 15.56.
NFL is just not competitive, 11/16 games were decided by more than 2 touchdowns.
Week 11: 15.56
Week 10: 11.79
Week 9: 13.15
Week 8: 10.92
Week 7: 10.07
Week 6: 9.00
Week 5: 11.86
Week 4: 10.43
Week 3: 12.25
Week 2: 11.94
Week 1: 8.94
Only 2 weeks were the average spread was less than 10.
Interestingly, as bad as the Browns are, their 7 loses are by a combined 50 points which is only 7.14 average. The Broncos 7 loses have been by a combined 113 pts for a 16.14 average.
The chances of watching a competitve game on tv is about 1/5.

I think teams just took a few weeks longer this year to settle in. Now that that's happened you are seeing some of what we are used to.
That's kind of surprising to me. You expect some teams to be garbage and others to be really good, but in general and on balance, you expect there to be some competition. Particularly in a league where there are salary cap issues and draft/free agency priorities given to the truly crappier teams (unlike the farce of the NBA with its rigged powerball system used for the draft).

Overall, the league seems competitive, where a lot of teams can lose one week then win the next. But whats weird is that a team can blow out a team one week and then get blown out the next. Only about 3 or 4 games each week are decided by less than a TD. Many more are being decided by 17 pts or more, which I consider an absolute blow out.
As I said, the Broncos 7 loses are by 16.14 avg. But their 3 wins are by a 14.33 avg.
This would be like every baseball game ending 6-3 or basketball game 100-80.
