This week displayed an interesting rule in the NFL's system. During the beginning of the 2nd half, Bears QB, Jay Cutler, was a no go due to a knee injury. Back up, Todd Collins, came in for 2 series and was a poor 0 for 4 through the air and threw an interception and inevitably was benched for not being oppurtune. Caleb Hanie eventually came in which sealed the bears' fate. once the 3rd string quarterback enters the 4th quarter, he must finish the game. This rule is widely questioned throughout the league but like a leech, it won't go away.
After an exciting Championship weekend, the stage is set for a histrionic game between the Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Who will win? only time will tell...
tune in next week.
P.S. sorry for no post last week. i was snowed in

1st edition of UEAS
Due to confusion and my inexperience of the online world, i have posted my blog by randomly clicking buttons until a suitable result was found. As expected, there is always one guy in each english class that all they will ever write about is sports. Unfortunately for my readers, i am that guy. For all those that do enjoy sports, disregard my last statement and welcome to the 1st Edition of The Unusual Events in American Sports (UEAS).
In this weeks discussion, i am going to explain the unusual inclusion of a sub .500 team, the Seattle Seahawks, in the NFL playoffs. This has never happened before so why does it happen now? Well one reason is that the division that the Seattle Seahawks are in is a very weak division in which no team won more than 8 games. Another reason is that Seattle won 4 games in their division to give them the lead in their divison. Finally, Seattle had tied for the most wins in their division but the tiebreaker was they had more division wins which gave them the ticket to play the New Orleans Saints in the Wild Card round of the playoffs. Be sure to tune in for next weeks edition of UEAS.
