WAFB just sent the following in an email:

LSU Athletic Director Joe Alleva tells WAFB 9SPORTS Director Steve Schneider that Coach Les Miles will remain at LSU.
The debate rages on.

This has been the most intelligent, well-thought out thread here in quite some time. :lol:

Maybe tech. But there is no need for it. There is no other kind of champion of the NFC.


And that's very true, too. But from a semantics standpoint, you can, however redundant, say that the Saints are the conference champions of the NFC and still be correct.

Oh God... thinking makes the brain hurt.

Thank you. I was having trouble making sense.


Your explanation helped me to clarify my explanation, so you did a pretty good job yourself!
Both the Saints and the Colts are conference champions. The shirt identifies that the Saints are conference champions of the National Football Conference (which is an entity and therefore a proper noun) and not the American Football Conference (again, an entity and proper noun). I know it seems redundant and confusing to say "NFC Conference Champions", but technically speaking, it's okay. It identifies that the Saints (the who) are the conference champions of the NFC (the what) and not the AFC.
You can read it two ways.

But, the intended reading is such:

Understanding that the "C" of "NFC" stands for "conference". And that the Saints won the NFC. And that the NFC is a conference. Therefore it stands to reason that the Saints are the NFC Conference champions.
Yes, LSU is officially behind the Saints now.

Michael Strahan says in his book that Shockey is really intense and is also, when it comes to injury, basically the type of guy that has to be kept off the field by the coaching staff.
Jeff Duncan Tweeted that he believes Shockey will be a go. That's all that's known at this point... and that's not very much.

Deuce is 28 pounds overweight. More to love.
It's a Pepsi/Frito Lay promotion. It's just horrible coincidence.

"Down in New Orleans they have a saying... 'WHO DAT FOOTBALL TEAM... you ever hear of that? When I say 'WHO DAT FOOTBALL TEAM'... I want you to say 'WE DAT FOOTBALL TEAM!'"

I'm embarrassed for them.
