Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Indianapolis Colts
I'm not trying to make excuses, but I really do believe this: if the Colts had played a meaningful game one week before facing the Steelers, they would have won this game. Granted, the Steelers brought the best gameplan they could against the Colts and Troy Polamula is one of, if not the, most exciting defensive player in football. The pathetic display of offense that the Colts showed throughout the first three quarters simply looked lik
Did you know I have 10 eBay members advertising and promoting my auctions? Did you know you can do exactly the same? It's called cross promoting and eBay lets you cross promote with up to 10 eBay sellers. What happens is when you sell an item the buyer sees items from your cross promotion partners, and when they sell something they show your items. It's so simple it's brilliant. And as you don't advertise your partners items till you sell something you can only increase sales.So how do I cross promote with other sellers? First of all browse eBay and look for sellers selling the same items as you, it's best to keep the items being cross promoted relevant. As I sell eBooks what I did was look for eBook powersellers and high volume sellers. Write down 10 usernames and then login to your eBay account and click on 'my eBay'.Now look down the left hand side of the page for 'cross promotion connections' This is in the 'My Account' category. Now click on 'request new connection' and enter the eBay ID of one of your chosen sellers. Click on continue and send the request.
Washington Redskins vs. Seattle Seahawks
From the start of the game, it looked like the Seahawks were ready to take over. Matt Hasselbeck made some nice throws on the opening drive and the Seahawks were ready to punch the ball in for six. Then, Shaun Alexander lost his second fumble of the season - and second in two football weeks for Seattle. When Alexander left a few minutes later, I knew right away that he would not return from a concussion. Things almost got worse when Darrell Jackson had to leave the game, but thankfully he was able to return rather quickly.
The Redskins did not play a bad football game. They were underdogs on the road against arguably the best team in the NFC. After an embarrassing offensive performance against the Buccaneers, the Redskins somewhat returned to their potential. Although Mark Brunell was off-balance on many of his throws, the Redskins were able to get the ball to Santana Moss and Chris Cooley enough to stay in the game. Clinton Portis never really got things going, but Washington kept themselves in the game and almost made it 20-17 late in the game. After that, who knows if an onside kick would have worked or not.
The Redskins clearly need another receiver next year to go along with Moss. Brunell isn't the best quarterback, but he rebounded with an outstanding season by his standards after not showing up in recent memory. The Seahawks survived without Alexander, the MVP of the league. It would have pained me to watch Hasselbeck lose another game in the postseason in the final seconds of the game. It'll be tough to beat Seattle, especially with how loud their stadium can get.
New England Patriots vs. Denver Broncos
With all due respect to the Broncos, I still think the Patriots should have won this game. Both teams were very evenly matched and were playing competitive football until Kevin Faulk fumbled under two minutes. Granted, Faulk fumbling is the Patriots fault. The pass interference call on New England is what really bugged me. I know that the referees are human, but there was not even the slightest appearance of interference on that play, and the referee was standing right there. No, that doesn't mean he had a better "look", it just means he made a horrible call. If that absurd penalty is not called, the Broncos probably would have kicked a field goal and gone into the half 3-3.
After the half, the Patriots would not have panicked. They would have played like themselves still, Brady would not have thrown a long interception play in all likelihood, and New England would have gone on to win barely. However, you have to give all of the credit in the world to the Broncos for executing. Anytime the Patriots gave them an opportunity to make a play, they put points on the board. New England's defense pretty much shut down the Broncos in the first half, and the Patriots' offense pretty much had their way with them as well. When it came down to the critical moments though, accepting the fact that the penalty had to happen before the half, the Patriots blew it. Ellis Hobbs fumbled, Troy Brown fumbled, and Brady threw a pick that basically went the distance.
By the way, what a hustle by Ben Watson. I'm pretty sure that the fumble he caused went out of the end zone for a touchback, simply based on logical reasoning. However, since the cameras did not show a clear shot of that occurring, I have to agree with the referee's decision. In the end, I'm still not convinced that the Broncos are better than New England. The victory is what counts though, as we found out during Sunday's first game.

Congrats -If you are one of the lucky participants who cleared the CAT Exam. However now you must show equal preparation for the Group Discussion and Personal Interview for the IIM’s, XLRI, FMS- Delhi, IIFT and all the other management institutes in IndiaThe Group Discussion is not only about content preparation but also psychological preparation. Here are 5 things to conquer before the Group Discussion1. FearMany people freeze at the idea of public speaking, and in the case of a B-School Group Discussion you also have to compete while speaking publicly. Overcome any unexplained fear and anxiety by reminding yourself that no body is perfect, every great orator is nervous prior to public performance- you are after all human.2. Negative thoughts and negative projectionsStop hurting yourself by comparing yourself with the supposedly superior strengths an engineer from IIT may have, or that those having a background in Commerce would do better in economic concepts.

Does the words “book signing” terrify you? Fear not! I thought writing The Circle of Friends the best part until I began making public appearances – now I cherish getting out and meeting the readers. As a book signing road warrior (180 stores in 3 years), I would like to offer you a few fresh ideas to help get your campaign off the ground.Preparations:I recommend before you start your book signing adventures a few books to help you hone your interpersonal skills (useful when dealing with store managers and the media). Hopefully you already have a website and/or blog in place and are part of several writing communities. This will assist with promoting your signings.When you are ready to begin prospecting for venues to sign in, research every bookstore in your state. Once you create your signing strategy, open your calendar and start making calls. When I get the manager or owner on the line, I give them my pre-planned “commercial.” I tell them my name, book title and genre, a brief description of my book, and finish by asking what information they requi

In this series of articles, you will learn exactly how to lose belly fat, using 10 proven techniques from medical studies and laboratories around the world.Abdominal fat, also known as visceral fat, or belly fat, is not just a matter of vanity anymore. Doctors are increasingly sounding the alarm about the health dangers of belly fat, as more Americans are diagnosed daily with obesity, diabetes, and high cholesterol.How to Lose Belly Fat: Secret #1- CLAScientists in Sweden have reported that patients taking conjugated linoleic acid, or CLA for short, lose fat- especially abdominal or belly fat. CLA is a special type of fatty acid, and is available in the U.S. without prescription.In a 2001 trial, people taking 4 grams of CLA a day lost nearly 4% of their body fat over 12 weeks, with no other dietary or exercise changes.Another Swedish study in 2004 found that CLA “might slightly decrease body fat in humans, particularly abdominal fat,” without changing body mass index. No harmful side effects were reported.A 2004 review study on weight los

Executive coaching and business coaching evolved from the corporate education and training world. The fee structure for coaching also has roots within this same world.The traditional fee methodology for education and training is to determine a price per participant. This pricing model includes material, hours and any additional out of pocket expenses such as travel and lodging. For many coaches, this model is still being used and fails to address 2 critical issues: Value Return on investment According to Webster, value means "to be worth." How much are you worth from a fee perspective? A recent survey issued by Sherpa Coaching suggested that coaches with 5 years of experience or more earn $300 per hour. However, a colleague of mine saw his value or worth through a different filter which increased his hourly rate to around $800 an hour.Return on investment (ROI) can be constructed using a variety of formulas. For me, the simplest way to achieve ROI is to project the desired results in dollars, subtract the coac
Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Indianapolis Colts
I'm not trying to make excuses, but I really do believe this: if the Colts had played a meaningful game one week before facing the Steelers, they would have won this game. Granted, the Steelers brought the best gameplan they could against the Colts and Troy Polamula is one of, if not the, most exciting defensive player in football. The pathetic display of offense that the Colts showed throughout the first three quarters simply looked like a team that never played together though. Part of it was the Steelers blitzing, but when Manning throws somewhere and the receiver doesn't look, they're not in sync.
In that fourth quarter, I saw the Colts true offense. I know the Steelers played somewhat conservative, but Manning and his receivers were on the same page. If that was the case from the get go, the Colts could have scored three touchdowns in the first half if they wanted to. One thing you can't excuse is the Colts' defense though. Ben Roethlisberger was simply amazing and took the Steelers offense to a new level. The Steelers know that Big Ben has his best success early, so they wanted to jump ahead early and postpone their running attack until later. When the Colts got hot, what did the Steelers do? They ran the football, what was it, 11 straight times it seemed? That is where the Colts were definitely out-coached by Pittsburgh.
It seemed to be all over when Manning got sacked at the two-yard line on fourth down. I couldn't believe my eyes when Jerome Bettis carried the ball. I anticipated him heading into the end zone, when all of a sudden Nick Harper scooped up the ball and ran down the field. Why he did not continue running outside I'm not sure, but Roethlisberger sent his team to the AFC Championship with his tackle. The Colts should have been able to move the ball for a touchdown so that they didn't have to rely on Vanderjagt, who missed big time. Before I finish talking about this game, I want to mention the Troy Polamula "called-back" interception. As much as I wanted the call to be overturned, I knew Dungy was challenging simply out of desperation. What? It was overturned? That was the most shocking overturned call I've ever seen, but it only added to the most exciting playoff game thus far in the 2005-2006 playoffs.
Carolina Panthers vs. Chicago Bears
When I made my pick for this game, I was dying to predict it would be a shootout. I was somewhat influenced by the general consensus that it would be a defensive game though, so I went in the middle and predicted average offense by both teams. Although the game contained plenty of defense, this game was a shootout more than anything. The Panthers passing game couldn't be stopped, and the Bears passing game did surprisingly well.
Is it just me, or would Jake Delhomme rank up their with Tom Brady as the best postseason quarterback in today's age? He has not struggled in a single postseason game and always torches the opposing defense. His only playoff loss came in the Super Bowl two years ago, and he was amazing in that game too. It helps that he has some of the best chemistry in the league with Steve Smith, though. It was ridiculous how open Smith was after the Bears' defenders fell down, but why wouldn't you double cover him to begin with? The other Panthers' receivers didn't do too bad, but do they really concern you that much that you don't double Smith? The Panthers moved the ball with ease all day against the best defense remaining in the playoffs, even after losing Foster.
Rex Grossman impressed me. After falling behind by two possessions, I felt Chicago had no chance to come back. Grossman fired the ball downfield all day long to any receiver he could find, showing his potential for next year. Although he was unable to lead a game-tying drive to end the game, he was simply brilliant at times. The Panthers defense performed better than the Bears overall, but the most credit may have to go to the Panthers offensive line. After Delhomme was sacked eight times by Chicago earlier this year, pressure was not even an issue for him.
