Random Sunday Divisional Thread:1/15/12

For those of us on the board today... random thoughts related to NFL and playoffs.

Schef was just talking about the Saints conundrum....the fact they didn't get a deal worked out with Brees means they have 1 franchise tag and three big free agents: Colston, Brees, and Nicks. Not getting a deal done is going to expose them to losing some good players.

Also, if Williams goes to St. Louis to join Fisher, Mike Nolan (yep that one) and Spagnuolo (spelling?) are leading candidates for the NO D-Coord. job.

Said 49ers TE Vernon Davis of his emotions at the end of Saturday’s win, “History, history was going through my mind. It was us against history. I said to myself, ‘It’s us against no, and us against can’t.’ All those things. We managed to pull it off. It was a very emotional game.”

LT on ESPN set today....been talking retirement. Maybe his debut as a TV personality? End of an era?

Not a fan of players tweeting before a big game, but maybe it's just me.

On a related note, I learned on Friday that Aaron Rodgers turns off (or maybe more accurately avoids) his Twitter account completely during the season. I heard he was a good follow, but he never tweeted. Makes sense now.

If I were a Ravens fan I'd be pissed if they didn't get in on the next play.
