Sadly, the NBA is going to be in a position soon to require "hockey boards" or some other setup to keep the fans away from the players and vis-versa. I am truly amazed that there has not been more major issues at these games. The liability has to be huge.

Don't you think that Mrs. Davis should be in a 'players wives/girlfriends' box, where they won't have to deal with shit like this? Its a shame but hey, an ounce of prevention...

That's a tough situation for the home team. Providing an area for visiting players wives/family is going to cut into prime seating, and the number of seats required will likely vary widely from game to game.

So I guess then something terrible or tragic has to happen FIRST before my suggestion gets implemented. Interesting...

Perhaps allocating a set number of seats next to the wives of the home team?

I think limiting alcohol consumption would eliminate alot of the problems. Portland used to have a ban on alcohol in the seating area, before they moved from Memorial Coliseum into the Rose Garden. I believe they still cease serving before the end of the 3rd quarter.

Very good suggestions, Toby. |thumb

Just a mouthy fan probably. Shit happens more than people think I'm sure and it is not needed. Go to a game, cheer for your team and don't bother other people. How hard can that be?

I don't blame Davis but did he really need to go up there? Without seeing what happened first who knows. Again I don't blame him.

Okay folks! Predictions on AFC & NFC Champs, I got

AFC – Denver

NFC – Carolina

Now before you Steeler fans go off on me I would like to see the Steelers win it all. This is just my “If I had a gun to my head and had to make a pick” pick :D

Well, to have any chance in the Playoff Pool I need a couple of big games from Jake Plummer so I'll be rooting for Denver in the AFC.

Most everyone has else also has both Alexander and Smith, so the NFC doesn't make much difference to me.

AFC - Steelers :D (it would be sacreligious for me to say otherwise)
NFC - Carolina

Defense seems to be getting teams to the big game the last few years, that's why I'd choose Carolina. But if the Steelers did make it to the Superbowl, I'm thinking they'd have an easier time with Seattle, so I'll probably be rooting for them.

Let's see, I am already 0-3 in this year’s predictions.

(Colts over Falcons, Colts over Seahawks, Or if the Pats beat the Colts, the Pats win it all)

I think I am going with Carolina to win it all, I honestly don't have a favorite or a "hated team", I like all 4 for different reasons, so who ever wins it all I will be pleased.

I would love to see Bettis go out with a ring, I have been a fan of his since Notre Dame, I’m a big fan of Mike Shanahan, I love the city of Seattle and like Holmgren, and Carolina is such a “feel good” team and Steve Smith is amazing this year. But I think the Carolina Defense and the quick scoring offense lead by Jake “6-1 in playoffs” Delhomme will be too much to stop.

Seattle over Denver

I agree with Torn, I’d also like to see Bettis get a ring before the book is closed on his career. Kind of like the way I was glad to see Reggie White, Bret Favre & John Elway finish out with at least one.

Terrible thing to see guys like Dan Marino & Jim Kelly finish with great careers but no ring.

"Fan" sueing Davis for $1 million
 

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/200....ap/index.html

"...Axelrod's father, David, is a prominent Democratic political consultant in Chicago who has worked with Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton and Chicago mayor Richard M. Daley"

"...Axelrod's attorney, Jay Paul Deratany, said he planned to sue Davis and his wife for more than $1 million. Deratany said he was writing the papers Thursday for a battery suit against Kendra Davis and a slander case against Antonio Davis, and planned to file them Friday."

Not the guy who I thought it was in the video, but if you see him on HLN he is making this sound like Davis traumatized him so badly that he isn’t sure he can survive.

This better get thrown out, even if what he says is true, how the hell is that worth $1 million?

You better chews your words, son.

Mark me down for a prediction of Pitts vs Seattle for the Big One.

I like Randel El, but have no particular affinity for any of the remaining teams.

Denver will forever have a black mark with me because of Elway, so anyone but them winning would be okay to me.

I'll go with Pitts though.

Must be tough for a cowboys fan to say that.:D

Why does it seem it takes Denver 3 quarters to wake up and join the game? They may yet win the game, but they seem to have little or no interest until well past half time.

Next (Bus) Stop: Ford Field Baby!!!|thumb

AFC Champs All The Way!!!
|headbang|

Preach on, Preach! We Steeler fans have been saying it for decades: "Offense may win games but DEFENSE wins CHAMPIONSHIPS!" I think the boy in Black & Gold will have an easier time with Carolina than with Seattle, although either way I think we will see another AFC Super Bowl. The NFC just isn't playing to the same standard (hoping like HELL I don't have to eat these words...LOL) The victory celebration has already started on my blog (and the "Steeler mania" made its appearance yesterday LOL) SUPER BOWL #6 for us!!!

PS-to give poor Denver their due, they really were trying from the opening kickoff. This is just the best game I've watched the Steelers play all season!

Congrats to the Pittsburgh and Seattle fans on the board! It's looking like it will be a great Superbowl!! |bananna|

LOL . . . So much for my career as a “football prognosticator” :D Hope it's a good Superbowl game. Go Steelers

Tougher than you can imagine.

I actually had to hire a stunt typist to make that post for me.

I couldn't bring myself to do it. :D

Fuck me! I went into yesterday hoping that Denver would win so that I could have an excuse to get a Plummer jersey for the big game. Since that fell thru, I decided that I'd get a Seattle jersey if they won. So about 1/2 way thru the 4th quarter I start to look for a Hasselbeck jersey. The Seahawks pro shop doesn't even sell them! NFL.com does not sell them! Sure, I can order a custom jersey, but that'd take 2-3 weeks. So I search Google & find some, but they are all odd sizes - either S or XXXL |banghead|

So now, Jurevicius is my favorite Seattle player :D

whats wrong? think the XXXL will be too tight?
