3. Well, for one, VY isn't a great player.

He had 9 TDs and 17 INTs, plus he fumbled 10 times this year. Clearly, they're in the playoffs in spite of VY, not because of him. The defense is the strength of that team.

4. Three Reasons

First, there are the Browns. If the Browns had won their second to last game the Titans would not be going to the playoffs. Second, there is Indy. The last game of the season was meaningless to the Colts so most of the first string players did not play that much during the game. It is very possible that if the first string players had played the whole game the Titans would have lost and the Browns would have been in the playoffs. Third, and finally Jordan owned the NBA. It could be argued that Jordan just about outplayed everyone else in the NBA. It is not the same with your guy. In addition, Jordan lead the NBA in a number of categories. Finally, as far as I know Jordan's team never backed into the playoffs. Jordan's teams never needed anyone to lose in order for his team to get into the playoffs.

5. Didn't Kerry Collins win that last game? n/t

6. Amen! And if the Titans have any sense, he'll start this weekend...

...Young is a hindrance to the team...not as disappointing as Reggie Bush, though.

7. Wouldn't it be interesting....

If both Kerry Collins and Todd Collins lead their teams to playoff victory? Talk about cosmic irony....Collins backup magic...

8. Are you suggesting he's the Michael Jordan of the NFL

because he's black or/and because he's the greatest football player of all time?

Both arguments are preposterous.
