That Matt Ryan (most boring person on earth) and Cam Newton (that frickin douche) both have MVP awards and Drew Brees, who is top 10 all time, doesn't.


But, he was clutch in the biggest game, they both choked.

Probably doesn't make you feel any better, but here's how my high school has done in recent history. (For the record, when I was there in the early/mid 90s we won a couple conference championships. But I didn't play...I was a soccer player.)

2009 1-8

2010 0-9

2011 0-9

2012 0-9

2013 0-10

2014 1-9 (WE BEAT EAST!!)

2015 1-9

2016 0-9

So a 3-72 record in that span.

This one's easy.

That Saban left LSU only to realize fairly quickly that college was where he wanted to be, so he came back to college...to a big time school in LSU's division. The rest is history.

All the "what ifs" had Saban realized while at LSU that college was where he wanted to be.

I'm so salty.

NCAA OT rules. Whose idea was it to start each possession in FG range?

Super Bowl stats:

Matt Ryan - 17/23, 284 yards, 2 TD, 0 INT

Drew Brees - 32/38, 288 yards, 2 TD, 0 INT

You can say the Falcons choked, but I'm not really sure that you can accurately say Matt Ryan did.

Yeah Matt Ryan did choke too... A lot of consolation those decent stats are when you look them up an hour or a day later

The Oakland Raiders made the 2002 Super Bowl, after deserving to be in it in 2001 (tuck rule game). Gruden goes to Tampa and annihilates the Raiders in the Super Bowl in his first year there. Makes me wonder what would have happened had they beaten the Patriots in that OT game. Could have rattled off a couple or three championships in the following years. Instead they went over a decade without making the playoffs.

I root for A&M and Houston sports teams and the only titles I've seen were when I was 6 and 7, and those have a big asterisk next to them in some people's eyes

The fall of Miami football. Playing in Hard Rock stadium really pisses me off. I do think Richt is a home run hire though.

If you think Matt Ryan "choked", then you are legit retarded. Should he have been playing on defense also?
