    You must have went to a big school because we won division championships and didn't have anyone that got a college scholarship while I was in high school.
    Somebody good enough for the pros would have made us dominant.
    That's on top of being the smallest school in the division.

    I don't know how big our school was, but Scott isn't a small guy. He's 6'5" 250lbs. Maybe that's why?

    My graduating class had 100 people. (Less than that actually graduated.

    a guy one year older than me went pro briefly, and we only went 7-3 his senior year. and my class had i think 47 (probably around 60 total, 47 actually graduated).

    granted, he wasn't on the same level as scott fujita; i think he got cut during his first preseason. but he was still good enough to get there, and didn't make our extremely small school dominant.

    the way football is played, it's hard for one person to make any team dominant. something like basketball, yeah, but in football it's near impossible for one guy to do everything.

    Part true. Specially his position. But if our school was competing for division titles and you add a running back that is twice as good as the one we had. That would make a huge difference.

    yeah, a pro level running back or quarterback could almost make a high school team dominant on their own. i don't think any other position could do that though.

    Dude, they can't throw without arms and they don't run without legs. Wanna shut out a good QB/RB combo? Linebackers!!

    The New England Patriots are favored by 3 touchdown on Saturday night over the Texans.

    Over the last 4 games against the Texans at Foxboro we’ve won by an average margin of 24 points, but I still can’t conceive of this game being that easy

    No Gronk is out unless they go to the Super Bowl and even then it's 50/50 for his return

    Hello,

    I predict that the Seahawks, Patriots, Packers, and Steelers all win this weekend.

    This is probably not a great prediction.

    Actually it’s a very good prediction:

    Atlanta has a high powered offense, The Dallas Cowboy's running game should keep Aaron Rodgers off the field, and KC is virtually unbeatable at Arrowhead stadium.
    The only sure thing is the Patriots over the Texans

    Both games were a bit of a surprise but no surprise about who won.

    Just saw that every playoff game was decided by more than one possession until tonight.

    In other news, on this night 50 years ago in super bowl 1
    The Packers won and Chiefs lost.
    Today the Packers won and the Chiefs lost.
