'Cause My Peers, They Criticize Me

I saw it in passing this morning on "SportsCenter", but the Jacksonville Jaguars are still using their official website for a little psychological warfare ahead of Saturday night's clash with the Great Satan known as the New England Patriots.

Specifically, the Power Rankings section of the Jags' site features an asterisk next to the Pats' perfect, yet rarely mentioned, 16-0 record with the notation at the bottom reading very simply:

"*Cheated in one game."

I have no doubt that the webmaster for the Jags will receive a series of threatening phone calls from Joey Halbert along with people in the 508, 617, 781, and 978 area codes asking him if he thinks he is "wicked smaht" for that not so subtle jab at Brady, Belichick, and the rest of the Great Satan.


(Pictured above: A bizarre ritual that took place in Jacksonville on Tuesday where Jags fans offered the requisite 12-year old, blond male to appease the Great Satan. There was no word from Jaguars team officials on whether Jonathan Lipnicki of Jerry Maguire fame was available for sacrifice.)

Sammie,

You easily win the contest for "Quickest comment after a post" in the illustrious history of "Running Down a Dream".

Congrats.

Congratulations to the Jacksonville Jaguars! They finally figured out how to get people to look at their crappy website. Also, congratulations for getting to be number 17.

In other news, TO loves him some him and Eli Manning decided that he was a Manning. Nervous?

Joseph,

Terrell Eldorado Owens can love all the him he wants to as long as he also loves the endzones at Texas Stadium for the next two Sundays.

Also, I'm fine with Eli deciding he's finally a Manning if he turns out to have a litte more Archie rather than a little more Peyton in his DNA.

I'm just thrilled to read "The Great Satan" and know you're not talking about my Yankees or my Blue Devils.

Lukas,

The Great Satan= The Patriots

The Evil Empire= The Yanks

At this point I'm not sure what the derogatory title is for Blue Devil nation, but if you have any timely suggestions, I will always entertain them.
