Oh, it was either a typo, or I thought his screen name was TheKanataKilla, I guess.

By the way, did anyone besides me notice how many former Packers were in the Saints/Seahawks game? They weren't necessarily all active, but Colin Cole, Darren Sharper, Matt Hasselbeck, Ruvell Martin, Matt Giordano, DeShawn Wynn, and Breno Giacomini all come immediately to mind. It was a veritable boulevard of broken dreams. Were there any others?

Peyton Manning's(notes) face says it all. He knows the timeout could, and likely will, backfire. After leading his team to fourth-quarter comeback, he's watching it all slip away. In the immediate aftermath of the timeout, Manning seems to go through the five stages of grief: denial ("no, that couldn't have been us that called the timeout"); anger ("what's Irsay's phone number. I need to tell him to fire this idiot Caldwell. I'll be player-coach next year"); bargaining ("eh, who knows? Maybe it'll work. This could be the earliest icing of a kicker ever"); depression ("why me? Tom Brady(notes) gets Belichick, I get Caldwell") and acceptance ("I'm going to be 9-10 in the playoffs. They're going to call me 'Marino' when I retire.")

then wouldn't it be TKK?? :pottytrain2:

Now it's Saturday night, 29 seconds left, and the Jets have one timeout left, and they're at the Colt 32 on second-and-eight. Caldwell called time. It appeared on replays like Peyton Manning was waving his arms as if to say: "Are you kidding me?''

Caldwell gave an explanation afterward that raised more questions than it answered. Quite frankly, it was bizarre. "I was going to make sure they couldn't take the clock down,'' he said. "Make them snap the ball. They were in field goal range. So we wanted to make them snap the ball as many times as they could." What possible merit does making sure they couldn't take the clock down --which, of course, they could anyway, seeing that it was second down and this was Indy's last timeout and the game had 29 seconds left? Very strange.
