season is over. and since a few of us keep steering this thread off topic i'm closing it up. anyone feel free to open up another thread for NFL news and notes for 2012. off topic posts there will be deleted and further action will be taken with those who persist on this type of behavior. i will also not get into the habit of closing threads. that wouldn't be fair to the majority of the members here in the sports forum who respect the rules of the site.
