i know. nfl shop sells both the throwback jerseys and the ones from the 90s. it knows what's up.

Yeah I love those Bills throwbacks a lot.

i would like donovan mcnabb to appear in a one-man revue called McNabb!

WTF plaxico, u don't have to show up for practice but CALL at least; that shit would get you cut from a high school marching band.
Why oh why does the NFL not do a mandatory retired-pro-lives-with-newbie mentoring program for first year players? Instead rooks carry bags and shave their heads and fuck melons and now your best receiver is out cause he either had a dark revelation or couldn't pull himself away from Madden 09.

Annnnd, sayonara Matt Millen. That's just going to be one hell of a rebuilding project.

I don't believe you, Fox Sports. Mostly because that link is toast.

holy shit! i am really excited over this news, for some reason. the thing is tho, the ford family's a big part of the problem. they just dont give a fuck about the team and tend to half-ass everything when it comes to the organization - it's not like they're stingy or anything, it comes down to stuff like front office ppl not getting callbacks (from the owners) for a week plus when they have urgent football/operational matters that need their input. but hey, it's still a big move.

Believe the full link:

maybe neil who writes for armchair linebacker will experience a glimmer of hope!

Guys, this Raiders business just gets funnier and funnier.

goddamn

ATL @ CAR Carolina maybe would've been better off without Steve Smith coming back? can get over-reliant on a guy.
CLE @ CIN at least Ohio can't go 0-8
HOU @ JAC Jags on the way back i think, although Texans will make a game of it. low-scorer
DEN @ KC will be a shoot out, KC may well stay competitive longer than expected
SF @ NO it seems ludicrous to suggest, but form says niners
ARI @ NYJ depends who makes their throws. edge to Jets but i think Mangina isn't long for this league.
GB @ TB have feeling Tampa D will show up big for this one
MIN @ TEN depends how well Nashville run vs Vikes. this one is straight down the middle
SD @ OAK Oakland best hope is Rivers getting cocky and throwing picks
BUF @ STL Missouri will go 0-8, however. great game for wheels to come off for Bills tho *fingers crossed*
WAS @ DAL good game to show if Week 1 Campbell or week 2 and 3 Campbell was the real guy
PHI @ CHI Eagles don't need Westbrook to win this if Bears suddenly can't stop the pass
BAL @ PIT if Ravens D can get Big Ben scared early they could score enough to win even without O production

also i was just checkin out the injury report and i saw this:

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Status Date
Matt Bryant Questionable Sep 25
Comment: The Buccaneers will let Bryant decide whether or not he wants to play Sunday against Green Bay, the St. Petersburg Times reports. Bryant's three-month-old son was found dead in his crib Wednesday morning.

dang

i think pp once said he watches football without rooting for anyone? maybe i'm making that up. in truth i am amazed that such a thing is possible. sometimes i have to scramble to manufacture a team to back when it's, like, san francisco v. arizona or something, but i manufacture it.

oh holy shit i didn't read the rest of your post, ade. how awful.

that's awful

ATL @ CAR Panthers- This might be an interesting game.
CLE @ CIN Bengals - I don't think the Browns will get the pass rush and I think Cinci will put up big numbers.
HOU @ JAC JAGS - Houston is not showing up and slow start J-ville is still pretty good.
DEN @ KC Broncos - I think Denver is for real, but KC might show a bit more this week so I could see them surprising.
SF @ NO Saints - This should be a decent game, but if NO gets up two scores, it is done.
ARI @ NYJ Jets - Arizona does not win much on the road.
GB @ TB Packers - This week I have to be right on Tampa having some humble pie.
MIN @ TEN Titans - Might be a good game, but I like the Titans.
SD @ OAK Chargers - Lane Kiffin's last game, but it would be funny if they won and they still fired him.
BUF @ STL Bills - Trent Green? He was as IU when I want to IU, so he is old to be QB. I just hope the old boy doesn't get another concussion.
WAS @ DAL Cowboys - God I hate both clubs now...maybe the earth will just open up and swallow them.
PHI @ CHI Eagles - The Bears offense kind of stinks and I could see the Eagles running the ball too.
BAL @ PIT Ravens - Without Rofflesberger or Parker, they are not going to score many points.

I root for who I've got on my ff team, who isn't beating the spread, and whatever team doesn't have a Manning on it.

Most Arkansas folk pull for Dallas since Jerry Jones is from North Little Rock and Felix Jones played for the Razorbacks and it's the nearest team to most of the state. I do have more of an affinity for the Chiefs since I went to school in Missouri, but lately, watching them play is about as fun as looking for arrowheads in the woods. Time consuming, pointless, and bound to get you lost and asking directions from a tweaker.

i watch football without really rooting for anyone

i think its cause i spend the baseball half of the year living and dying with the yankees so its nice to have the other half off and a little more calm

i do root against the pats

I am always rooting for someone, and it usually just seems to happen organically. Like, I don't know who I want to win until I find myself going YEAHHHHHHHH unexpectedly.

I think at this point I would root for the Pats over Dallas or Denver or the Colts without any remorse.

I would root for the Colts to beat Denver, Dallas to beat the Colts, and Dallas to beat Denver.

I would root for Atlanta, Cleveland, Buffalo, or the Gigantes over all of the above.

i root for everyone over the redskins

and they're not even in my conference

I root for the Redskins over a bunch of teams. Clinton Portis is my bff.

southeast jerome is cool. everyone else from snyder on down sux

and i'm not sure who's worse, dc-area fans or boston-area fans

It's the owner Snyder I hate, he seems like a scuz bag. I liked the old Hogs teams, they were real fun to watch. Their fans are cool, I just cannot cheer for them anymore.

I was a Cowboy over the Steelers guy when I was a little kid in the 70s, which was one of the major things you had to choose in life back then. Jerry Jones is pretty scummy, it started off how he handled the change over with Tex Schramm and Tom Landry. Not much class in the start and then the team pretty much seemed to revel in bringing in any nasty character as long as he could get the job done, which by association kind of scummed up my outlook of pretty respectable players like Smith, Aikman, Woodson and some of the others. There is a smug stench of shit every time I see Jerry Jones that is a reflection of what I think is wrong with America.

I'll hate the 49ers forever for beating the Bengals twice in a Superbowl. (Although the Bengals did cover the spread in both games.) They were just almost too good, which is probably half the reason I like the Hogs as they beat them sometimes.

I didn't really hate the Pats until it looked like the Colts would never beat them and they were getting rated like the best thing since sliced bread. I'm kind of over it as the Colts did beat them and got it done once, so the angst isn't quite there anymore. Besides that, it seems like the Colts are kind of hatable in a similar way, as I see their hats and shirts on all sorts of people I know don't know any players like Gary Hogeboom, Bill Brooks or Barry Krauss. Man, I would have liked to see Billy Brooks get a chance to play with Peyton Manning. He was a good player on some cruddy teams with some even cruddier QBs. As for the Pats, I got kind of a grudging respect which kind of came up again this week when Troy Brown retired, as that is a dude if he was on your team, you would cheer for him big time.

There was many opportunities over the years, but I am glad I never got any Steelers band wagons.

Other teams love and hate comes and goes, but for me these are probably the current standards.

A sad thing that never seemed to happen was that that high powered Rams team NEVER played the Colts when they were the other hot offense in the NFL. That is a big scoring game that the schedule makers at the NFL never put together and we will have to wonder what a track meet that would have been. That being said, Kurt Warner used to come of a bit like a choad in their zenith and it used to kind of bug me how Faulk got so much huzzas, I would have loved to see the Colts beat them in a shootout. It never happened, but man that could have been a killer game to see Manning vs. Warner and Edge vs. Faulk and Harrison vs. Holt/Bruce with no real defense to stop either one. :(

i was born and grew up in pittsburgh, so there you go. also i think the rooneys and the steelers' three (!) head coaches during my lifetime (i just turned 37) have been fairly classy.

i'm supposed to hate the browns, but i just don't. for one thing, they haven't really been much good. love the helmets. i'd root for them over most teams.

bengals, ehh. i kinda liked sam wyche and boomer. apparently now they're a bunch of convicts or something. can we blame marge schott?

ravens i hate for leaving cleveland. and ray lewis, due to the general espn worship of him. i might have trouble maintaining my hatred in the absence of billick, though.

other places i have lived:

panthers: whatevs, dudes. charlotte is a joke anyway.

vikings: got nothing against them, though i suppose i'd rather support the wacky populism of the packers. les steckel was not good (<--old). never liked randall. AP is awesome.

dc: fuck the redskins and everything about them apart from portis and maybe chris cooley. a reprehensible owner, nickname, business plan, etc. fans (except for daria) are the absolute worst (see also capitals hockey and maryland basketball). fuck wilbon and especially kornheiser too.

nyc: who cares about the jets? broadway joe was from western pa, but i don't care. i like laveranues. mangini seems like a prick. and the whole gate d (or is it b) rapist convention is pretty offputting.

g-men: weird -- i don't like plaxico, or coughlin, or even eli especially (after his refusal to play for the chargers). tiki was a cancer. shockey was an overrated psycho. but i kind of like them, despite their nightmarishly bad road uniforms

hey guys ignorance time: what is it means when offensive lineman "get hats" on defensive players?

"blocks on a running play"

surely no one in the nfl is guilty of spearing

xpost - thx mookie - skins fan here since about 6th grade. I was SO HYPED when they beat denver in the super bowl
<3 <3 <3 art monk, darrell green, charles mann

became a pats fan when i lived in RI. the winter suuuuuucked & watching them win playoff games was the only good thing going

dan snyder is awful. OTM on that. jack kent cooke was no prize either but actually had a winning team

in my very limited experience the fans @ fedex are total dickheads. i told off a bunch of drunk fratboys who kept spilling beer on me & first they called me a bitch, then decided i was "feisty" which pissed me off more. but all NFL stadiums are full of those kind of people right? if i go to another game i will probably get in a fight (which i would lose)

true - art monk, charles mann and especially darrell green were awesome. i liked riggo too (<-old). but between snyder and the wdc sports media establishment i must hate them.

actually i was also SO HYPED when they beat denver cause my freshman college roommate was both a dick and a broncos fan

i've only been to two nfl games: stillers vs cleveland in 1989 and g-men vs. skins in 2007. the steelers have been sold out since i was born.

in both cases it was a) pretty boring (tv timeouts every five seconds, can't really see much), and b) uncomfortable to be around so many drunk assholes. and i like drinking. i'm drunk right now.

she also claimed to be a steelers fan too

I'm pretty sure every candidate lies about steelers love when they stump in PA. note that no candidate ever lies about being an iggles fan or something. They just go to geno's or whatever and order a whiz wit and call it a day.

be fair, when hillary was in pa she did a bunch of shots

that is the more honest thing to do.

BRETT FARVE U R A TRAET

nice throw, brett.

lol hi-V

i'd just like to tell the viewing audience outside of ny who might be watching this gayballs extravaganza that it is not raining, anymore. they are just straight up acting like fools.

xpost hi-v!!!

o what the shit was that

wait that's a sketchy intentional grounding call?? there were dudes there to catch the ball!

whatever why am i trying to psyche myself up for four hours of cards-jets. why bother?

OMG WHAT THE SHIT OMG OMG OMG

Richard: lol
BACK FOOT AGAINT THE GRAIN WHAT DO U THINK WILL HAPPEN
THIS IS SUB POP WARNER
me: haha
how will they fuck up this field goal
Sent at 1:21 PM on Sunday
me: oh my fucking god

guys the browns and bengals are so bad.

so far in jets-cards:

1 k. warner fumble
1 b. favre interception
1 blocked field goal

wow i kind of wish i were watching that game

it's...wacky, at least. battle of who could care less.

i like to watch brett favre's ancient face in distress

srsly what happened to derek anderson

all of his passes have been completely O_o

uh supposedly there was a touchdown which was just nullified. the touchdown took place during the commercial break? what kind of shit show is fox running these days??

lol fox still employs tony siragusa

lol my friend called me to tell me this

we have bucs-packers and chiefs-broncos zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

lol warner

i expect favre vs warner to set the record for turnovers

i mean he stared at that receiver for approximately 17 minutes straight, he had to see the interception coming

i should call my dad, this has got to be the first time in ten years we've both seen the same regular season game.

except then he'd probably bring up mccain and we'd get into a fight and never speak to one another again so maybe i'll just stick with my current "ignoring the phone" plan today.

hahaha the announcers are cslling for leinart!!

wowowowow @ cutler > marshall, jeez

i have bucs-packers here

eh

cutler -> marshall is truly epochal

i feel u daria, this game is boring as fuhhh

this is a pretty boring sunday. thanks, nfl!

i was just suggested at that we go to espn zone to watch the minn-tenn game O_o that would mean putting on pants and also going to espn zone, so obv this is the worst idea of the day so far.

desperate times call for desperate measures i guess?

oh good now it's 21-0 jets.

should i put on ghost rider instead y/n

hahaha k. warner wow dude you gotta throw at the right team

i would go to espn zone!! shit really isi like an alternate universe

hell is a browns-bengals game tied at 3 for all eternity.

this game is worse than i feared

lol some browns defender intercepted the dude that's filling in for carson palmer, but then he fumbled and chad johnson recovered the ball, so it's cincinnati's again. that is a metaphor for the game as a whole.

ok now THAT kick what the shit just happened there

^lol xp

jay feely falling onto his back has to be made into a gif

no offense but if the browns lose today to a team being quarterbacked by a dude who was cut by THE RAMS they should be kicked out of the league for the rest of the year

no really they look awful. :(

very farvian INT from rodgers just now

^he learned at the feet of the master

omg

oh why not cards, fumble the ball away again that's cool too

JIMMY THE MOD IMPORTANT QUESTION:

DO YOU KNOW OF CHILL BARS NEAR OUR HOUSES WITH SUNDAY TICKETS? ALEX AND I CANNOT WATCH THIS ANYMORE.

<3
YR FRIEND ALLY

:\ that place on court st.

:\ that gaybar on smith st.

that place on court st -- i say thanks but no thanks.

gaybar is angry wades???

yeah

hmmm. i wonder if it is crowded. would you go? i don't want to go to a bar really but this game is such a hole. not that anything else looks THAT much better?

i know. matt's coming over so we will likely be here for at least a few minutes. i'm lobbying to not watch this either, but it's halftime

apparently 200 5th has sunday ticket, and a lesbian bar on 4th and carroll?

31-0 GOOD JOB AZ

OMG IT'S NOT KNOWING YOUR TEAMMATERS ITS ABOUT PLAYING THE GODDAMN CARDINALS

guys apparently the CHIEFS are beating the BRONCOS right now, which is brightening my day a little.

is the jacksonville game any good? that i'd watch but no idea who'd have that on.. prob this cheesy (newish, fancyish) irish bar down connecticut ave, they have a lot of tvs..

hahaha, you really only have the jets/cards game? sorry!!!!

culture of fail takes over again

xpost yeah! why am i not watching that game, it looks intersting

i. am. so. tired. of. hearing. about. brett. favre. he's not even in this game and they still can't shut up about brett favre.

dar1a it is really dire. we're considering walking to park slope to escape the jets O_O

wtf, denver!?

WOW ANOTHER TURNOVER FOR THE CARDS

http://flabbergastedly.com/wp-content/uploads/sorthvid%20gif/clapping.gif

oh good lord, 34-0

IT'S A REAL WINNER OF A GAME

TS C.F. Kane vs. Teh Joker

i did actually watch last week jets game at a gay bar. hey they had nice wine, big flat screen tv, and cheesy pop music playing the whole time, so i did not have to hear tony kornheiser talking about brett favre

loolol otm

i would like to state for the record that i have no problem going to the gay bar, if just because one of the yelp reviews was from some terrible looking lady who disliked the place because the clientele bore no resemblance to the "rest of the neighborhood". it's like OMG a bar that isn't full of babies (literal babies, not brett favre style babies) and park slope idiots, you are the place for me. i think i would rather go back to the bar we went to in chelsea with michael white where a drag queen was doing bingo and they were showing xanadu on the screens, because seriously this weekend of football? it is bringing more shame to our nation than sarah palin and the mortgage industry combined.

^^ let us talk about this thing instead

schef why don't you go to a bar where ppl are watching the mets and then root for them to lose

why is the golden Buddha's face melting?

UM DID ANYONE ELSE JUST HEAR THE STORY ABOUT KURT WARNER KNOCKING OFF SOME KID'S PROSTHETIC LEG??? WHAT THE SHIT WAS THAT STORY?

probably a metaphor for what he is doing to the cards franchise

yes, yes but it apparently is also a real story.

13:05 CLE TD Derek Anderson passed to Braylon Edwards to the left for 4 yard gain (Phil Dawson made PAT)

I blame myself for this. I picked up AZ's defense for the fantasy team.

Brett Favre is so awesome he can find his receivers even when in their 3rd jersey. also he has very, very large hands!

this game is over. OR IS IT who knows in this new bullshit nfl

we've switched to baseball. drudgesiren.gif

um glenn close just sang god bless america at the mets game and the cards now have 35 points wtf is going on

and the jets have 56?! who does that?!

yeah JAX another close one.. wish i had seen that game!

THE RAMS ARE WINNING

oh good someone on the cardinals is now dead

i'm not actually making this up, the guy is fucked

this is really depressing, jesus christ i hope this guy isn't paralyzed

everything about that game is a nightmare

and warner ends the game by throwing an interception after all that. way to go guys. nightmare is basically the only way to describe that game. i was going to make a catty joke that maybe the cards spent their time in dc trying to fix the economy, so practice was suspended, except one of their dudes is probably paralyzed thanks to SPEARING TO THE HEAD so i feel like a shithead for thinking it!!

and i missed most of the 1st q of the washington-dallas game!!

herm edwards actually tries to win game, says "YAH TRICK YAH"

ok YAH TRICK YAH will never stop being funny

^^ true that

uh, oakland? st louis? huh?

lol trent green is the savior

The Chargers look terrible.

campbell on point!

this is officially the weirdest week i can ever remember

YEAH PLUS BASEBALL!

ATL @ CAR atlanta
CLE @ CIN brownies
HOU @ JAC jax
DEN @ KC denver won't score 84 points, more like 184
SF @ NO norlins
ARI @ NYJ jets
GB @ TB pack
MIN @ TEN vikes
SD @ OAK sd
BUF @ STL bills
WAS @ DAL challops of the week: wash

The Raiders just went for a 76-yard field goal.

Needless to say, it was about 16 yards short.

it would be hilarious if lane kiffin started doing shit like that

putting robert gallery at qb in short yardage

putting mcfadden at safety and blitzing him

Whatever he's doing, it's working.

Too bad they basically threw away an opportunity at the end of the half by letting the clock run down and showing no urgency whatsoever.

Anquan Boldin isn't dead, phew.

Kiffin knows he's going to be fired so he may as well do insane shit.

was that a strahan rollercoaster or am i on LSD

haha

The Strahan rollercoaster tripped me out too, ugh.

LDT drops a sure touchdown pass.

lolrivers

Raiders are not ready to crown his ass.

damn awz td by redskins overturned :(

ineligible player down the field is the worst penalty, and being near the goal line when it happens makes it even dumber.

i like Campbell. i don't know what was wrong week 1 but he's got his shit together now and he looks like a tidy qb

THANK U TRENT GREEN

trent u_u

linehan is dunzo

wau bills

LOL romo

haha for real

wau skins

^__^

!!!

can't wait for inevitable romo pick

^^ waiting a long time

okay don't fuck this up skins

lol @ jerry jones on replay

YEAH SKINS!!!!!!!!

yessss

i hate myself a little but i like the nbc highlight show w/ dan & keith.

favre highlights: "the guys in the wrangler ad played better defense"

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY

Jim Zorn is having fun :) :) :)

Go Washington!!!!!!!

A++++ best game of the season I am going to watch it again tonight probably

i saw it coming

okay, buffalo bills i am onto you and your stupid gameplan of playing like crap in the first half. it won't work against the chargers (lol it is kind of their gameplan, too.)

trent green is kind of dreamy. i wish he would quit football. i worry about his head.

OH HOLY SHIT I DIDN'T KNOW THE REDSKINS BEAT THE COWBOYS! I KISS YOU, WHOEVER IS RESPONSIBLE!

guys i realize i am kind of biased but i love this season!!! ^_^

things that are awesome:

1)Bills are unbeaten.
2)Cowboys are not.
3)AFC dynasties appear to be on the wane (i thought i would be sad for peyton, but apparently when the Bills are winning i don't give a shit.)
4)McNabb!!!
5)crazy, crazy games keep happening.

i am sure there is more!

5a)Chiefs beat the Broncos today!

The Chargers didn't really deserve that win, but I'll take it.

I feel bad for Kiffin, his team is really playing above their ability right now in my opinion.

crazy, crazy games keep happening.

no doubt! maybe another tonight? philadelphia seems to bring the crazy

this was not what i expected from chicago's opening drive.

KYLE FUCKING ORTON!!!

yyeah what the hell was that

3)AFC dynasties appear to be on the wane (i thought i would be sad for peyton, but apparently when the Bills are winning i don't give a shit.)

lol i love this also

jesus that was the sickest dang pass ever

wow that play mcnabb -> jackson just now

hah

RIGHT? MCNABB!!!

I LOVE YOU DESEAN JACKSON

He's such an amazing player.

yeah that was a great catch

Buckhalter is such a bucket of suck :(

how long is westbrook out?

I think just this week. He was a gameday decision.

also lorenzo booker is a baller and westbrook jr.

dunno why they don't play him instead

Did Reggie Brown just fall down with no one around him?

man i adore the eagles' blitz

I love how they start sacking the QB slowly, but the more the QB gets hit, the more scared he becomes of getting hit again. So he starts playing more poorly and getting hit even more. :)

Like just then. Look at that chase.

hahaha whoops

oh desean jackson

:(

ugh, that sucks

GUYS THE PASSING I WANT TO MARRY IT

I missed that last play. Who got the ball down to the 1 yard line?

buckholter on a screen pass.

Ha. He can't run it. Just catch it.

it was well-blocked. westbrook would have gotten it in the end zone.

oh man this game

this makes up for all of the crappy games this afternoon

Philadelphia games have been the best games to watch this season.

wow

hah, i was like.. tuck rule
y/n?

man why they showin all the clips of old springsteen

how did boldin not die seriously

o mcnabb why?

okay nm

lol i love seein hester get run backwards and outta bounds

yeah i kind of have it in for hester i don't even know why

no srsly i adore the eagles' blitz!

What happened with the McNabb overturn before? I had to stop watching after the interception... was there a flag?

no, but the eagles intercepted orton on the following play or a couple plays later.

goddamn. i feel like the eagles should have at least two more touchdowns than they do.

They're having a hard time without Westbrook. :(

Acc. to the team stats, Philly should be dominating.

did john really make a comment about someone getting donged or was it just the deaf person doing the closed captioning getting it wrong?

ugh this goal line playcalling is bullshit

If they don't go for it, I'll lose all respect for Reid.

FUCKING BUCKHALTER

REID YOU FUCKING MENTAL MIDGET HOW DO YOU NOT CHALLENGE THAT

oh fuck. is this why philly fans are psychotic?

It's like this every fucking year. We fucking suck in the clutch.

...

lol i love the nfl

omar, you will be missed!

http://www.lookatusgo.net/gallery/content/Oliver/Bears%20and%20Flames%20Fan/oliver_bears_fan1.jpg

oh god on nfl gameday they're showing Matt Bryant talking about his son. :(

so, anyone watching cowboys-skins understand why the cowboys didn't think they needed to run the ball? were andy reid and mike martz special guest coaching?

okay, buffalo bills i am onto you and your stupid gameplan of playing like crap in the first half.

It's the O-line in particular. I'm a little concerned that the entire NFL is on to this.

guys did the raiders actually try a 76-yard field goal?

yeah it was w/1 second left in the half, INTO THE WIND - it was abt 10 yards short. if it was in a dome i bet janikowski's the dude who could've pulled it off tho.

why yes. yes they did

http://www.faniq.com/blog/Video-Sebastian-Janikowski-Attempts-76Yard-Field-Goal-Blog-12235

Oakland - 0:59
1st-10, OAK34 0:59 OAK committed 10 yard penalty
1st-20, OAK24 0:54 M. Bush rushed to the right for 12 yard gain
2nd-8, OAK36 0:36 J. Russell passed to M. Bush down the middle for 6 yard gain
3rd-2, OAK42 0:00 S. Janikowski missed a 76-yard field goal. A. Cromartie returned field goal attempt for 26 yards

cromartie tried a vasher-esque return where he fakes like he's not gonna return it and then takes off, but he got tackled pretty fast

bless their lil hearts for that one

That trick worked about as well as Hester catching the ball in the end zone and just looking at the other team rushing toward him without taking a knee.

jim zorn is hilarious. clips from dc news last night from after the game - first he's all "wow, that was like totally awesome," thanks just about everyone in the redskins organization & comes off as completely awkward and nerdy when trying to lead cheers in the locker room

cooley blog:
Maybe Z is the pep talk expert. I mean, before the New Orleans game the topic was "be excellent." A line from George Carlin in "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.

The important part of that last minute for Oakland was that they kept rushing the ball and throwing short passes to the middle of the field even though they only had one time out. It was as if they weren't even trying to score. But then they brought out Janikowski and the announcers were like "uh, wtf?"

yeah, i don't know how long it will last, but zorn's press conferences are a breath of fresh air. he's definitely a little nutty and brings a sort of aw, shucks mentality that's really amusing.

completely. troy aikman was pretty amused talking about how a couple days ago, zorn said he didn't know that much about the dallas-washington rivalry and was it kind of like seahawks vs raiders? lolz

BE EXCELLENT nfl week five

haha...and so the team wins and has them chanting hip-hip-hooray. you know he referred to the team colors as maroon, yellow and black in his hiring presser? i think he really is sort of like a walking stereotype of what east coasters think of as a west coast flakes.

Lance Briggs nearly killed a couple of people last night, a couple of those hits were freaking evil. That goal line stand was pretty epic. The Bears are always going to be about winning ugly, but last night was fun.

T.O.'s response after the game was hilarious, the dude got the ball like 1 out of 3 plays and it still was not enough. I hope it turns into a total ego/id meltdown like what happened in Philly and Frisco. I think Jerry Jones is not the dude to cross, you know that guy has connections that can make you go sleep with the fishes. The Cowboys just need to hike the ball to T.O. and let the awesome happen. It couldn't happen to some better people.

wait, omar is leaving? :(

good luck out there!

damn there were more injuries watching football this fri, sat, sun than i can ever remember

okay wtf Ben?

he threw that right to that Raven.

Go Ravens!

what am I saying

i know; this game is confusing. i do find i hate the ravens less now that Billick's gone.

WHO IS JOE FLACCO

seriously

pretty sweet play just now

should i go back to watching the game?

not when steelers are on offense
zzzzzz

wau ok this is completely different now. d'oh.

wow i am listening on the radio and huh this game turned around

flacco didn't even see the guy

he just fumbled it again a minute ago luckily his own guy fell on the ball

boomer esiason and marv albert are homoerotically bantering.

oh dear the crowd sounds kind of mad about that simultaneous timeout + TD on the part of the Steelers.

horseshoe are you a . . . bears fan?

no! why?

ok that was wacky

yay overtime

This game won't end. Ever.

cause don't you live in chicago? who then?

wtf with that handoff, Pittsburgh?

xpost i do live in chicago but my heart is with the buffalo bills. i grew up in buffalo.

ok, bless

aw i like ben roethlisberger. he seems like a good dude.

everyone drive home safely, hoping that you are somewhat better than to go to overtime against the ravens at home

ok that handoff though seriously

there needs to be a gif. It looked like Moore was proposing to him.

god mike tomlin why are u so dreeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaamy? especially delivering a dial-a-cliche performance to the press?

he keeps saying "that's football" emphatically. i love him.

Mendenhall and Kendall Simmons out for the season. I think that's what they call a Pyrrhic victory.

i mean, why did he still give him the ball while he was kneeling on the ground? just take it back.
