  Agreed, mjd. That is without a doubt one of my favorite commercials ever. And Garnett’s timing is outstanding.

  Good rankings, MJD. If, of course, bashing you means a team gets worked…

  I can’t believe you have the Ravens ranked not first. Ray Lewis and Jamal Lewis are running this shit like Mike Irvin runs shit in The Longest Yard 2005. You suck.

  (let the ravens beating commence.)

  hey mjd,

  can you (or anyone) explain wtf “strength of victory” means (the tiebreaker that gives indy the home field over baltimore atm)??

  also – i think there are only two “mike tysons / mr.dreams” at the moment: san diego, baltimore (remember baltimore reaming Orleans a couple weeks ago)? everyone else is merely super macho man or worse.

  Patriots fans bitching about respect? I don’t buy it.

  I believe strength of victory is the winning percentage of teams you’ve beaten.

  I don’t understand why people get all bent out of shape over NFL power rankings. I understand when guys get angry about their favorite college team being underrated… in college conventional wisdom about a team actually makes a difference since so much is based on the polls.

  But in the NFL everything is decided on the field, so lack of respect is ridiculous to whine about. If your team isn’t getting its due all the have to do is go out and win next week, and they can keep winning every week all the way to the Super Bowl while everyone thinks they suck.

  People are such pussies… odd that the manliest of games brings it out the most.

  People getting bent out of shape is honestly the only reason to even do Power Rankings. I mean, I try to make it an entertaining read anyway, but the actual ranking of the teams? Less than pointless. And I’m fully aware of that, but like you said … for some reason, there is interest, and people take it very seriously. Sometimes, I’ll purposely shaft a team here or there intentionally, just to see what happens. Any requests for next week?

  I’d put them lower than #1, but I’m afraid it would erode my credibility if I acknowledged them as anything other than the baddest group of motherfuckers to walk the earth since Genghis Khan and his boys were rolling hard through Asia.

  And come on, that was Week 5. Let’s let the healing process begin.

  Anything that you can do to fuck with Cowboys fans is cool with me. Why not just leave them off the list without a mention? You could list another team twice so that there’s not an obvious 31 at the end of the list.
