They don’t waste time in the NFL.

The Colts have fired head coach Chuck Pagano after 6 years, and the Raiders have fired Jack Del Rio. The Raiders boss signed a 4 year contract extension just last February. He announced his demise at his own post game press conference - ouch. This surely paves the way for Jon Gruden to return to the Raiders and finish off some business.

Awesome stuff.


It was fantastic! Was glued to redzone all morning whilst in messenger exchanges with my uncle who is a Seahawks fan.

How good was vision from a bar full of Bills fans when Dalton threw the game winning TD!

The AFC looks pretty straight forward, IMO. Still, good for the league for the likes of Jacksonville, Buffalo and Tennessee to see some post season action.

As for my Falcons, a tough ask out to LA to knock the Rams off. Get past that and i'd give us a sneaky chance against Philly minus Wentz.

Vision has been released of the Bill’s locker room watching the ratbirds choke. The best though is the travelling supporters in Miami who hung around on the concourse to watch the end of the Bengals game. They went berserk.

Credit to the staff at Hard Rock Stadium for showing it on the screens for Buffalo fans.

It's great for the Bills after so many years but they really are making up the numbers with the Chiefs.
My tip is the Pats v the Jags for the AFC Champoinship final.

Tougher call in the NFC but I'm going for a Panthers v Rams final. Philly are done it think and the Saints are too inconsistent lately.
Panthers looking stronger as the comp goes on.
Comp is poorer for not having the Packers there ;)

Good win for the Giants yesterday in ridiculousy cold conditions. Is was minus 20c last night in the wind.

Congrats to Spargo on winning the tipping comp
Real good finish to it this year. Down to last week is always awesome

Also big shout out to jimmy (I think) for running the comp this year.

Hopefully everyone is paid up now so Spargo gets those $$$$

OK, I have been through it now

Well done to @Spargo and @Johno6 who came home with flyers and drew for 1st place on 192
Unfortunately for Johno, Spargo pipped him on the margin 212 : 246
Pretty tough after 17 rounds to lose by the margin
@SHAM came in 3rd

So, in all, we had a pool of $570, because Pendlez pulled out after the 1st round, so the prizes ended up being:
1st: $385
2nd: $140
3rd: $45

Please e-mail me your bank account details and I'll transfer the money

4 people haven't paid so I will fund it
Please pay me and send me a PM when you have

Cheers and its onto the play-offs!

Many thanks for running the comp, Jimmy - top work.
I urge the 4 outstanding to pay Jimmy ASAP - not fair that the bloke doing all the work is left out of pocket.
Cheers, and GO STEELERS!!!

I whole heartedly agree with everything Spargo said
Don’t be the guy who doesn’t pay.

Thanks again jimmy and congrats again to Spargo.
