How come we ain't got an x?

This may be treading the line into the "why does the media respect us" theme, if so a mod can move it.

But it has been widely reported we have clinched a playoff spot.

ESPN has a small x next to our name acknoldging that.

However the NFL doesn't.

NFL Standings: Division

The code on the bottom of the page says if you clinch a playoff spot you get an X.

If you look here though, we do!

I don't know, they probably just made an error.

Innocuous oversight or Goodell-led conspiracy?

You decide!

I am going with the latter.

Nope...the reason is that Omissioner Jetdell has decreed that the Patriots only get *'s for the rest of eternity...(or until he is indicted, tried and convicted in federal court on racketeering charges )

I thought this thread was a waste.

The webmaster of NFL.com is a Jets fan and hates the Patriots.

He has also been known to put a higher percentage of Mark Sanchez pictures vs. Tom Brady pictures on the homepage.

Commence freaking the **** out.

well...Sanchez is so dreamy, I guess I don't blame him...



sexy skinny pornstache...

At least it's not an asterisk. I'd hate to have to dust off my persecution complex.

The Patriots are currently the only team to have clinched anything. Both the Steelers and Falcons can still miss the playoffs improbably as it may be given their remaining schedules.

St. Louis 6 - 7


Seattle 6 - 7


San Francisco 5 - 9


Arizona 4 - 9

Who gets an "X' here .... epic failure of an X.

I want an astericks. But they haven't earned that yet. Need to clinch the #1seed.

Hopefully we will get a z after this week.
