Gosder Cherilus, Titus Young, Brandon Pettigrew, Stefan Logan, and others have all been flagged for personal fouls and after the whistle shots. > > Sure I feel bad for their fans, and I feel bad for the Raider fans having to put up with Al Davis’ insanity too. But no way do I want those kinds of teams to win a championship, no matter how starved their fans are. wow, I had no idea. I knew about Suh of course, and Schwartz, but I didn’t know it was a team taught mentality. I may have to rethink this. You need another team for your example. The Raider fans walk around with spikes around their heads and silver and black masks/paint… they are crazier than Al ever was. And you can’t use the Cowboys either, since Jerry Jones is insane and he’s never leaving… and his team has Lombardi’s. The Eagles haven’t won a championship since 1960. I’m going to guess 1957 for the Lions. What about Cleveland? 1964 (before the SB era)? those are better choices than the Raiders. And the Vikings and Bills have had their stomachs ripped out in 4 SBs. I’m going to still root for the Lions, but perhaps I’ll consider another team. I can only go with an NFC team, since all AFC teams are evil if they stand in the way of the Steelers. If the Falcons would go back to their old Red uniforms, I’d root for them. And if I change my mind about the lions, the falcons are my pick. ---

Retired to Santo Domingo in '71. Charles Martin? Never played football after Western Alabama. The entire decade of the 80’s. The Packers simply took a vacation to build a school in Guatamala. It’s much easier that way. ---

I’m a Colts fan… Noone in the AFC, that’s for sure. There is noone else left I can even tolerate. In the NFC, I wouldn’t mind either the Saints, 49ers, or the Packers winning. I guess if I was forced to choose just one it’d probably be the Packers as I love Greg Jennings. Seems like a nice, thoughtful dude in interviews. I’ll be watching Peyton’s new team, the 49ers, very closely though. ---

I’m a Niners fan. I wanted to go with Detroit too but I’ve been put off on Schrwartz since **Niners @ Detroit** the rest of the crap since then has been fuel for the fire. I’ll settle for not the Patriots. ---

I won’t mention Mossy Cade, James Lofton, and Eddie Lee Ivory…good guys, all! I prefer to remember players like Anthony Dilweg, Brent Fullwood, and Jeff Query. In serious, though, Forrest Gregg seems like he was a really good man in general. Did the thuggey come from the top the way it does with Schwartz? ---

If you’re asking me to pick a specific team that I will root for if the Steelers don’t make the Super Bowl, the answer is none. I’ll root for the Russians to nuke the stadium that’s holding the AFC Championship Game. I root for only one team, period. Now, if you’re asking me who I would prefer if I had no other choice, I’d prefer to see the Broncos or Texans win in the AFC. If it’s the Patsies v. Ratbirds I’ll hope that the NFC team creams the winner, whoever that may be. And yes, that may even end up being the Packers, whom I have grown to despise. That leaves me with the Saints, really, who I would prefer only because the are the team left that I can find even the least bit of indifference about within the sea of hate. ---

Did the thuggey come from the top the way it does with Schwartz? I’d always suspected so, even at the time. Gregg would talk about how he wanted “tough” players. For example, Chuck Cecil, who continues to be [a bit of an asshat](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/10/04/chuck-cecil-middle-finger-gesture_n_748920.html) as a coach, started his playing career under Gregg, who seemed to really like him. In general, when you have an entire team of cheap-shot artists, you have to suspect it’s by design. ---

The Raiders just get a lot more attention for it than most. Now that Al is dead the personal foul penalties that he encouraged will probably go away too, most of the record penalty yards from this year were from offsides, false starts, and holding. :smack: Anyway, I am a Raiders fan, but I am rooting for Houston. I like the way they play football, and I like that they are getting it done for the first time in franchise history with a third string QB. Go Texans. ---
