@ rich: USA Today? it's the worst, most dumbed down newspaper on the planet. believing them is like thinking a michael moore documentary is factually accurate or that bush actually won florida in 2000 and ohio in 2004.

I didn't say I believed USA, I just provided their ranking. I made my own position clear..........once again I think either the Steelers or Indy will emege from the AFC and Carolina or Dallas from the NFC. Now if Dallas does not make the playoffs I would Carolina is odds on favorite.
And I do agree with mz the pussy and others about Bmore being the outside chance because of a great D. I think however, it will be real hard for a rookie QB to take them to the house
USA is not dumbed down and Michael Moore is right on most of the time..........so you must be tuned into dumbed down politics

Don't forget about Tampa Bay in the NFC....I know they've lost 2 straight, but Gruden is probably the 2nd best coach in the NFL (behind our buddy BB in NE).
AFC-wise, if Pitt gets home field, they're going to the Superbowl. I still think Indy & NE are dangerous, and wouldn't be shocked to see Tenn lose it's first game at home.

Been around the block 500 times............Moore gets it more than nearly all....................of course we can all still claim the world is flat which was nearly uninanimous in 1490 ........and Masters would fit right in with 1490............where do you fit.........NOW or 1490?

Nah. The ad bidness, believe it or not, upholds standards.It's still about selling a product or agenda (ala the show Mad Men). Michael Moore is exactly that. There is truth to his movies, but there are also missing facts, missing quotes from his interviews, etc. Editing can always make someones quotes look a certain way. He has as much truthyness to him as Steven Colbert.
-
You are full of crap.....if you researched what Moore does you will find his research provides a lot of factual stuff that media and our nation pushes under the rug
but you know everything about losing Masters keep doing your thing
But then again when his stuff is proven correct and my view as well........you will discount that as well and go on to another factless loser opinion................like how the economy is now strong
you see you pissed on Moore but never presented a single thing where he was dead ass wrong...........which again is your mo

Oh, I am not saying he fictionalizing (I also work in marketing as well). What he does is angles his information to fit his agenda. Use the facts that fit. Kind of like how people can use studies to do that.

I am fully aware of Michael Moore. I have seen his movies.
Would you like me to point out the numerous people he has interviewed who have shown that he didn't show half of the other things they said in his interview of them which went against what he was trying to portray of the person or their positions?
I never said he doesn't present facts. Just that he only presents the facts that support his position and leaves out those that go against his. Like I just said to mz the pussy, Moore works in the way studies work. It shows truths, but they are already setup to show a point and intentionally angled to show what they want you to see.
My MO to not show where wrong (like your view when proven correct)? Is that like where you talk about Thomas getting man handled by Mario Williams, yet Williams had one tackle and zero sacks? How about where I point the teams you point at success having all those high draft picks on OL? Maybe where I point out you only show up to kick the Browns and fans when they are down, but are no where to be found when they are doing well?
And of course the economy is doing bad. But unlike you, I won't point only to the Bush administration for that. Seeing as how the down turn actually started under Clintons watch with the .com boom and the major housing cost/loans beginning under his. Or how it continued to get worse even under a democratically controlled congress. Though I do not leave Bush w/o fault either.

Here, let me give you a few false items seen in his 9/11 movie (I won't even touch Bowling for Colombine since he even admitted to it being more of a mocumentary).
1. The Gore âvictoryâ rally isnât celebrating a Florida win. It was held before the polls had even opened
2. Like all the other networks, Fox mistakenly said that Gore had won in Florida. The first network to retract the Florida mistake was CBS, not Fox.
3. A 6-month study by a consortium of major newspapers shows that Bush would have won the Florida recount under any of the terms which Gore sought in his lawsuits.
4. 4.
Investigation by the Palm Beach Post and others shows that race was not a reason why election officials mistakenly
disqualified some voters because they were incorrectly thought to have felony convictions.
5. Bushâs Presidency before 9/11 was not in serious trouble. No commentator said that he looked like a lame-duck president.
Congress had passed his #1 bill (the tax cut) and was on the way to passing his #2 bill (the education bill). The scene at the end of the movie in which Bush tells a rich audience âI call you my base,â was from an October 2000 charity fund-raiser. Both Gore and Bush spoke at the fund-raiser and, as is the custom at the fund-raiser, made fun of themselves.
6.âIn his first eight months in office before September 11th, George W. Bush was on vacation, according to the Washington Post, forty-two percent of the time.â As the Washington Post reported, the figure includes weekends, and includes time in âvacation locationsâ such as Camp David, where Bush was workingâas when he met with Tony Blair.
7.In the golf course scene (about the middle of the movie), Bush had just heard about a terrorist attack on Israel. He called the press together to make a quick statement condemning the terrorism against Israel. He was not speaking about attacks on the United States.
8. There is no evidence that Bush did not read the Aug. 6, 2001 Presidential Daily Briefing about al Qaeda.
9. The Briefing did not say âsaid that Osama bin Laden was planning to attack America by hijacking airplanes.â It said that the FBI has ânot been able to corroborateâ such a threat.
10. According to Richard Clarke and the September 11 Commission, Clarke personally approved the Saudi departures,
and the decision went no higher in the chain of command.
11. Moore lied to a TV reporter in claiming that Fahrenheit discloses Clarkeâs decision to the audience. Clarke called the Saudi exit material in Fahrenheit a âmistakeâ by Moore.
12. Contrary to what Fahrenheit claims, the September 11 Commission found that many Saudis were asked âdetailed questionsâ before being allowed to leave.
13. James Bath did not invest bin Laden family money in Bushâs energy company Arbusto. He invested his own money.
14. Bathâs name was blacked-out from an Alabama National Guard record released by the White Houseâas required by federal law, which prohibits the disclosure of health-related personal information.
15. Prince Bandar has way too much influence on the U.S. government, as Fahrenheit shows, but American coddling of the Saudi tyranny is a long-standing bi-partisan tradition, not a Bush invention.
Moore claims that the Saudis âown 7% of America.â But even if you believe Ungerâs fictitious $860 billion figure, the Saudis own only about 7% of total foreign investment in America, which is over 10 trillion dollars. Only if all of America were owned by foreigners could Mooreâs claim be correct.
16.The Saudi embassy does not receive special protection. It is not the only foreign embassy which is guarded by the
U.S. Secret Service. An international treaty signed by the U.S. requires the U.S. to protect any embassy which asks for protection.
17. Mooreâs insinuation that Bush runs U.S. foreign policy according to Saudi instructions is contradicted by the Afghanistan invasion (which toppled the Taliban regime which the Saudis strongly supported), and by the Iraq War (which the Saudis opposed, in part because Iraqi oil will compete with Saudi oil).
18. John Ashcroft didnât really lose a Senate election to a âdead guy.â Mel Carnahan died in a plane crash a few weeks before the election, and the Missouri Governor had promised to appoint Carnahanâs widow Jean Carnahan if voters pulled the lever for Mel Carnahan.
19. The proposed Unocal pipeline was supported by the Clinton administration, but Unocal abandoned the pipeline idea in 1998.
20. The new Afghani government has signed a protocol to build a pipeline, but it is an entirely different pipeline, in a location hundreds of miles distant from the Unocal proposal.
21. Construction has not begun on the new pipeline. Although Moore claims that âEnron stood to benefitâ from the pipeline, Enron has never had any participation in either pipeline.

I don't disagree that it is a flippant remark at all. My only point is that it is an example of twisting a fact to portray and fit a different agenda. It is a truth, but one shown falsly.

16.The Saudi embassy does not receive special protection. It is not the only foreign embassy which is guarded by the
U.S. Secret Service. An international treaty signed by the U.S. requires the U.S. to protect any embassy which asks for protection.
17. Moore's insinuation that Bush runs U.S. foreign policy according to Saudi instructions is contradicted by the Afghanistan invasion (which toppled the Taliban regime which the Saudis strongly supported), and by the Iraq War (which the Saudis opposed, in part because Iraqi oil will compete with Saudi oil).
18. John Ashcroft didn't really lose a Senate election to a "dead guy." Mel Carnahan died in a plane crash a few weeks before the election, and the Missouri Governor had promised to appoint Carnahan's widow Jean Carnahan if voters pulled the lever for Mel Carnahan.
19. The proposed Unocal pipeline was supported by the Clinton administration, but Unocal abandoned the pipeline idea in 1998.
20. The new Afghani government has signed a protocol to build a pipeline, but it is an entirely different pipeline, in a location hundreds of miles distant from the Unocal proposal.
21. Construction has not begun on the new pipeline. Although Moore claims that "Enron stood to benefit" from the pipeline, Enron has never had any participation in either pipeline.

Way to dodge Rich, way to dodge.
I haven't applauded all 8 years. Mearly pointed out a handful of untruths in Moores documentary. Notice how you don't even try to debate what the subject was. Your MO.
Only person in denial is you good buddy.
And if you believe the economy is solely on the Bush administration, it shows how little you know your history, the economic cycles, or how many decisions of presidencies take many years to really have a national effect. You can take savings and loan, Enron, and other issues back to Clinton admin failures as well as George H Bush's admin.
