Hard to imagine L.A. not winning this just based on roster and coaching experience in the playoff's AND it's a home game.

That said, the Bengals have some sort of "win" thing going on that transcends logic.

Bengals 24
Rams 21
So was yesterday...

Religion: Do you feel it's more fear based or faith based?

I never feared my God. I was taught that he's all knowing and forgiving. I was raised Catholic but never believed in confession and pissed off more than a few priests. Noneed for confession. If God is all knowing then he knows whether or not your sorry. why do I have to confess?

To me, religion is based on faith. Live by a single rule and you should have your eternal reward. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.""

Depends on the person.
I know some people that live their lives riddled with guilt because of their religion.
I know others that live every day with the faith god will lead them.

Me? Meh.
I think more and more religion was a rich mans conspiracy to control and fleece the masses a few millennium ago.

Depends on which religion and who/where it's being preached.
I'm a man of strong faith. To me religion is a dirty word.
This question requires a 6,000 year study.
The answer is clearly - both!

The cop out is both not sure it's the answer, and I mean no disrespect to you when I put it that way.

To me it's fear based, if you don't live your life within certain parameters you go to a place called hell, which I think isn't to far from where I live here in Florida. And some of the things that can send you to hell are so insignificant. I mean all the 10 commandments and the thou shalt not's. But if you live this way you come to heaven and it's super cool. Seems to me they try to fear people into belief more than people believe seem more to me that people are scared of the alternative.

I never stepped foot in a church until I was 40. Religion has kept more people from a relationship with a loving God than any heathen ever will..
I refused to be threatened. Then one day, a gentleman very quietly explained God's grace to me. It was lifechanging.
God has been very good to me. He never threatened me - ever!

Exactly I get that a relationship with God is not religion it's just that a one on one with God, what ever you call that God, Buddah, God, Allah matters not. But religion and the Bible which is written by man does IMO try to fear people into faith. Look at the inquisitions.

The scrolls of Thomas (The Doubter) have never been released since they were discovered in the late forties. Why?

Because Thomas was converted and wrote what Jesus Christ actually said. Every religion wants them kept silent.

The first scroll was deciphered and was partially leaked, causing a storm mong all Christian, jewish and other organized religions.

And Jesus said, "My father's house is not of wood or stone. Turn a rock and he is there. Turn a leaf and you will find me."

nuff said.

The key to understanding God and all of the rules is simple. Jesus said, "You must love my father in your heart and soul." That created the great mystery and continues to this day. What is your soul? You will find peace and God when you figure it out. I know religious scholars who haven't been able to answer the question. When I realized what it is, I never feared another thing. But I've asked forgiveness a million times for my own shortcomings.

Question of the day. Have you heard??

Tom Brady is NOT retiring.

Rumor is that he's discussing a one year deal with the 49ers and will end his career there.

Wouldn't that be nut cracker. He wins his 8th SB Ring with a third different team.

Have we heard? Mike Florio? Rumor?

It appears that any "journalist" can make any claim(a.k.a rumor) these days and if the news cycle doesn't have anything more interesting then it will just run with it so people keep clicking on articles.

I'm not saying Brady WON'T play again. I'm just saying Mike Florio is part of the problem with sports journalism and it appears this issue of creating stories out of thin air that have no merit are not going away anytime soon.
