Peyton Manning finally shook the label of "big-game choker" for once and for all, leading scoring drives of 81, 78, 76 and 71 yards while throwing for three touchdowns. His lone mistake was an interception late in the second quarter that led to a Chicago field goal, but otherwise the Colts' signal-caller was near-flawless, completing 28 of 36 passes and deftly managing the Indianapolis offense against a team that exhibited a stifling defense earlier in the season. Manning got the Colts off to a roaring start by leading the team 76 yards down the field following the opening kickoff, ending the drive with a 17-yard strike to Marvin Harrison to put Indy on top early, 7-0. After the Bears picked up a couple of first downs before being forced to punt, the Colts moved down to the Chicago 25 for an Adam Vinatieri field goal to up the lead to 10-0. Chicago responded with a nice drive as the oft-maligned Rex Grossman, who was solid for most of the day, picked up a couple key third-down conversions with nice completions. Thomas Jones capped the effort with a 12-yard run up the middle for the touchdown, but the Colts bounced right back with an 81-yard drive that ended with Joseph Addai's TD romp around right end. Trailing 17-7, Chicago moved downfield and got a Robbie Gould field goal, and after Manning misfired a pass into the hands of Bears DB Nathan Vasher, the Bears needed only 15 yards to get into field goal range and boot a kick with three second left in the half to cut the Indianapolis lead to 17-13 at the break. Chicago took the lead for the first time in the third quarter as the Bears moved 73 yards in just five plays, with Grossman finding Muhsin Muhammad from 23 yards away to give his team a 20-17 lead. The Colts were undaunted, however, and struck twice in a row, as Manning hit Dallas Clark for a 36-yard score just three minutes later, and then hooked up with Reggie Wayne for a 32-yard TD pass to make it 31-20 after the Bears punted. Bernard Berrian made a circus catch of a Grossman pass for a six-yard score just three minutes into the fourth period to pull the Bears to within four, but after the teams traded punts, Manning and the Colts milked the clock on a 12-play, 78-yard drive that ended with Addai's second TD of the game. The Bears turned the ball over on downs deep in Colts territory on their ensuing drive, giving Indy the chance to run out the clock and celebrate their championship.

  5. Yeah no shit. What is wrong with Jagr? He hasn't done shit lately.
  6. I think he's still upset about the kidnapping of Snowflake.
  7. That seems to be the attitude of most players in the league now. They'd rather make a big hit, than actually do their job. How many times have you seen a tackler just lower the shoulder instead of trying to wrap a guy up. Blockers do it too.
  8. Jacobs fumbles a lot when I use him. I use a lot of 2 receiver sets to set up the play action. Works a lot against my friends, not so much against the computer. However, ever since Tecmo Bowl I'm still convinced the computer cheats.
  9. I hope he comes back or my Madden game will surely suffer.
  10. they took the keys but left the car?
  11. I don't know if I want Charlie Weis. Yeah he brought Notre dame back up, but he hasn't beaten anybody. This year will show his whether or not he is the real deal, having to build up a new quarterback. I hope he does well because I like him and want him to succeed. He just hasn't convinced me yet. If I had to pick from the list, I'd say Belichik. He's a proven winner. Parcells has kinda lost me as a coach, but he makes me laugh during his press conferences.
  12. http://newyork.yankees.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/...sp&c_id=nyy NEW YORK -- If Roger Clemens returns to the Yankees later this year, his old uniform will be waiting for him. All-Star second baseman Robinson Cano has volunteered to give up his No. 22 for this season, according to a Yankees official, likely anticipating the possibility that Clemens will arrive in the Bronx to reclaim it at some point. "I was happy to give up the number to a future Hall of Famer if he comes aboard," Cano said in Tuesday's edition of the New York Post. "Hopefully, he will be one of my teammates; I'll have the pleasure of playing with him." Within the past week, Cano told clubhouse personnel that he would switch to uniform No. 24, a change that has been officially executed on the Yankees' roster. With Spring Training less than three weeks away, uniforms are in the process of being tailored. The Yankees did not ask Cano to switch numbers, the official said. At the 18th annual Baseball Assistance Team dinner in New York on Tuesday, Yankees catcher Jorge Posada shed some light on Cano's thought process. "His dad's favorite player was Jackie Robinson, and he was named after Jackie Robinson," Posada said. "He wanted [No.] 42, but he couldn't have it, so he went with [No.] 24." Clemens, 44, wore No. 22 for most of his five-year stay with the Yankees from 1999 to 2003, though he originally wore No. 12 -- a reversal of the uniform number he wore with the Boston Red Sox and Toronto Blue Jays. He made the switch from No. 21 because that number was issued to Paul O'Neill when Clemens joined the Yankees. No. 21 has remained unassigned by the Yankees since O'Neill's retirement following the 2001 World Series. But Clemens appears to hold a special affinity for No. 22, even negotiating his 2006 contract to contain a reference to the number -- had Clemens played a full season with the Houston Astros, his contract would have been worth a reported $22,000,022. hot stove Complete coverage > As it was, Clemens earned a pro-rated percentage of that salary after joining the club in late June, going 7-6 with a 2.30 ERA in 19 games for Houston. The right-hander would not be expected to reach a decision regarding his playing future until at least after Spring Training. If Clemens plays, he is expected to choose among the Astros, Red Sox and Yankees. Bryan Hoch is a reporter for MLB.com. This story was not subject to the approval of Major League Baseball or its clubs. As much I want to see Clemens back at the same time I just want him to retire already. If he can help the Yanks win a title great, but if I bitched about his antics last year and the way he went about coming back, I have to do the same this year if he pulls the same stunt. I'm torn.
