SD @ MIA i was thinking of saying san diego but quite frankly they barely beat the RAIDERS so i'm actually going to agree with dolphins "upset"

^^^ this is not much of a redo is it

lol yes i think we had similar lines of thinking for those first three picks.

CHI @ DET -- NO ONE WINS (except Orton's beard)
ATL @ GB -- Aaron Rodgers: 83 TDs
SD @ MIA -- Kind of feeling that a fins upset will not happen in any conceivable way (which of course means MIA by six scores)
SEA @ NYG -- oh G I wonder...
WAS @ PHI -- GAME OF THE WEEK; McNabb will transubstantiate and lose on a Buckhalter fumble
KC @ CAR -- NO ONE WINS (except KC trainer)

i think jake delhomme is kind of cute but i think that's the closest anyone here is to being a panthers fan

My understanding (which may be untrue) is that the people of Carolina don't totally grasp the Panthers, or the Hurricanes, or pro sports in general.

It's still really hard for me to accept the Carolina Panthers as a proper NFL team. There's just something so ... arenafootball2 about them.

Like they would've worked perfectly as one of the made-up teams in Any Given Sunday.

PACINO: "I'm gonna go coach for this new expansion team in Charlotte! The Panthers! ROWAR!"

wait there are reports that Al Davis is interviewing replacements WHILE KIFFIN IS STILL HEAD COACH

well of course he is

i still hold he will not fire lane kiffin because he's realized that it is far crueler to kiffin to keep him on staff.

man the eagles looked like shit last week but i don't think the skins are ready to win 2 nfc east road games in a row

remember how bad they looked against the giants, who have a worse D than the eagles probably but a way way way better D than the cowboys

i still hold he will not fire lane kiffin because he's realized that it is far crueler to kiffin to keep him on staff.

this is why our man should continue to call for 76 yd field goals

He shd just forego punting, go for it on every 4th down and run a fleaflicker at least once every series.

It's like a game of chicken, but only Nnamdi Asomugha loses.

I AM STRAIGHT UP CLAIMING IT, WEEK 5 BOLD CLAM: THE COWBOYS ARE CLOWNS.

u all need to start adding LK@AD to the list of games every week and predict who will win... 76-yd field goal attempt vs. interview candidates while u still coach--best game in the nfl!!

remember how bad they looked against the giants, who have a worse D than the eagles probably but a way way way better D than the cowboys

depends on how beat up the eagles are. it sucks for them that now mcnabb is finally healthy the rest of their franchise dudes all get facebutt contusions

I AM STRAIGHT UP CLAIMING IT, WEEK 5 BOLD CLAM: THE COWBOYS ARE CLOWNS.

This is probably OTM in that they're the same team as last year and I fully expect a first-round playoff exit.

i think that t.o. becoming t.o. again might predicate that a little earlier than expected

^^

awwww shit kiffin's gone :(

Westbrook due back in for Philly will be a big boost. i didn't watch all of the game but the two times i did turn on Buckhalter dropped a pass and then got stopped on the goal line.

i like the Eagles for the Redskins game but - i think i said something similar in the week 4 thread - i think the Giants game was mostly teething troubles for the Redskins' O. Zorn is looking quite so startled by everything anymore and he and Campbell look like they're reached the same wavelength.

that division is going to be fuckin crazy. they'll all end up with the same record. under NFL rules, should this situation occur, each team has to choose a 'champion' and they fight to the death with flick knives.

Zorn is = Zorn isn't
they're reached = they've reached

I love Steve Smith and Pepporz.

Aww, I'm going to miss Lane, if only because he fully grasped (and even embraced) the absurdity of his situation.

in my head, i always want to call him julius puppies

It must be amazing to get fired over the phone.

rip lane kiffin

lane change

Kiffin also opposed some of Davis' big free-agent signings such as wide receiver Javon Walker and, to a lesser degree, cornerback DeAngelo Hall, sources said. Kiffin also expressed public frustration that the team was not more aggressive in claiming other team's released players via the waiver process to strengthen the bottom of the roster.

However, a Raiders source said that Davis privately sent a letter to Kiffin after the season's opening-game loss to the Broncos, attempting to "document" that the coach approved of the offseason acquisitions. A source close to Kiffin described that claim as "fiction."

heaven needed a 98-yard field goal attempt

Mortensen says Davis won't honor Kiffin's contract, like he did with Shanahan. can't wait to see what his basis is.

Reports I read said "insubordination".

Who is crazy enough to take that job at this point?

insubordination? lolll

http://www.leadershipnow.com/leadingblog/images/truth.jpg

Al Davis, earlier today.

http://www.leadershipnow.com/leadingblog/images/truth.jpg

Start the campaign, Matt Millen for HC of the Raiders.

God Millen and the Raiders would be perfect together. I'd move to Oakland and buy season tickets to watch that train wreck first hand.

kiffin would be smart to just leave the money and go. do not taunt happy fun al.

I think he should apply for a job with the Broncos.

if the dude has a sense in his head he is going to say f that and go straight back to college

lol Ricky Williams, stoner/athlete: Report: Freedom of bye week tempted Williams to use pot

ugh god what is it that prevents us all from collectively admitting that smoking pot is really no big deal and stopping treating it like fucking heroin

^^ Sounds like a man in denial.

I'll admit that like ricky I was tempted to smoke pot this weekend

I smoked pot this weekend.

http://users.atw.hu/nbv/Eschede/Eschede-1.jpg
Oakland

too soon.

He said he successfully fought off the latest urge to smoke by meditating instead, which gives him the same "feeling of being free" as marijuana...

Williams said he will not smoke marijuana again while he's in the NFL, but he's uncertain whether he'll abstain when his career ends.

"I'd be lying if I said I'm never going to do it again after I'm done," he said. "I don't know. I don't spend much time thinking about it."

Doesn't sound very uncertain to me.

PS my man-crush on Ricky Williams is the stuff of legend.

My high school beat his high school in the championship game. 10-0. Completely shut that pothead down.

Travis Henry, OH NO:

multikilogram!

CHI @ DET BEARS- I could see Detroit maybe pulling this one off at home, as maybe the Bears have a hang over from the big Philly win, but not really.
ATL @ GB PACKERS- If Rogers doesn't play, I think this is much closer to a toss up.
SD @ MIA CHARGERS but this could be a good match up.
SEA @ NYG GIANTS for no other reason than Seattle doesn't look that hot.
WAS @ PHI EAGLES are at home and this should be a good game.
KC @ CAR PANTHERS - I'm not completely sold on Carolina, but last week for KC was a bit of a fluke as it was at home and Denver gave them some key turnovers.
TEN @ BAL TITANS, but this will be an alley fight with lead pipes.
IND @ HOU COLTS, but I think Houston got the Colts both the last two years at home, but Manning actually got some practice this week coming off a bye so I figure this could be a bombs away blow out.
TB @ DEN BRONCOS AS THIS HAS TO BE THE WEEK I PICK TAMPA TO LOSE AND IT HAPPENS! Criminy they are starting Brian Griese and it is working.
CIN @ DAL COWBOYS
BUF @ ARI CARDS, as I just don't know how good Buffalo really is, not that Arizona is really any big shakes. I still should go BILLS, but they are on the road, but then again is Arizona really a tough place to play? No confidence in my pick.
NE @ SF PATS- The Niners look improved, but I just don't trust any teams in the NFC West as being that good. I don't think any of those teams could win much in any other division.
PIT @ JAX JAGS- Criminy the Steelers schedule is freakin rough, when you have to play Philly, B-more and J-ville's defenses in back to back to back weeks. That is a whole lot of hurt and it has to wear them down. JAGS seem to have overcome the problems with their o-line.
MIN @ NOLA Vikes

dude 'zona's likely to be sans Boldin... but then Buffalo is sans Parrish...

so many mystery teams this year. is it too much to ask for some goddamn consistency?!

CHI @ DET like my fabulous contraptions, i have no idea how this Bears team works, it just does
ATL @ GB Pack in scrappy affair
SD @ MIA all 3 supposed AFC big dogs in very revealing match-ups today. i think SD pass their test.
SEA @ NYG should be easy enough for Giants if they can hassle Hass
WAS @ PHI this fuckin division. Iggles will be more wary than Boys were of Skins threat.
KC @ CAR this could be the big points game against KC people were expecting from Denver
TEN @ BAL i think Titans might be 4 real
IND @ HOU assuming Texans will be solid at the home dome again. also, division rivals seem to hate playing them.
TB @ DEN young JC won't enjoy throiwng at Tampa secondary, i don't think
CIN @ DAL Cincinnowins Benglols LITERALLY slaughtered
BUF @ ARI i think losing Boldin loses the game for Arizona
NE @ SF i have a theory that the more time Cassel has to think about things, the more he will fuck them up, so the bye week might not have helped
PIT @ JAX Garrard looks like he may be over his slow start. i think Jags might be coming back into it.
MIN @ NOLA Saints at home, may even get a big score. Vikes defense has actually been fairly toothless.

Will be at the Fins game Sunday...two tix for $50 (there are some perks to being bad and in a city of fairweather fans!)

hope they fuck the Chargers up right and left

wau have fun! I mean as much as you can while watching that game!

When I bought my Jags/Browns tickets before the start of the season, both of these teams were supposed to be good! Now I'm essentially just going for the beer and atmosphere.

CHI @ DET - bears
ATL @ GB challops: atl
SD @ MIA sd
SEA @ NYG giants
WAS @ PHI eagles
KC @ CAR panthers
TEN @ BAL tits
IND @ HOU colts
TB @ DEN broncos
CIN @ DAL dal
BUF @ ARI bills
NE @ SF pats
PIT @ JAX steelers
MIN @ NOLA saints

CHI @ DET - Chicago definitely gellin', Detroit needs to find a running game
ATL @ GB - I think Atlanta could win this and set themselves up as a wild card contender and then not get a wild card
SD @ MIA - Miami feels like a trendy pick, but I think San Diego is either finished losing games they should win or finished period. Gonna bet on the former. They need to squash that wildcat shit quick, tho'.
SEA @ NYG - Giants look deep and great and Seattle isn't going to figure it out in this game
WAS @ PHI - Philly, I guess? I saw Washington's first game and they looked real bad to me, but something's positive clearly going on.
KC @ CAR - Can't really care about these teams, but Carolina?
TEN @ BAL - Tennessee; I'm starting to get excited!
IND @ HOU - Indy or bust
TB @ DEN - Looks like a good game! I think Tampa Bay, but if the score's high it's anybody's guess.
CIN @ DAL - Dallas in everybody's lock, I suppose. Cincy looks even worse than I thought they would and I thought they were a six win team.
BUF @ ARI - Buffalo, but curious to see what the new crop of receivers do.
NE @ SF - New England is awoken, hide your children.
PIT @ JAX - Jacksonville steady rolling.
MIN @ NOLA - Saints and looking forward to seeing them move with all pistons firing.

Green Bay vs Atlanta - ATL since I've consistently picked against them this season.
Tennessee vs Baltimore - TEN. how's this sound? Ravens dominate for 3.5 quarters before Titans get lucky and win in the last minute.
San Diego vs Miami - SAN Unless Miami gets a 76-yard field goal.
Indianapolis vs Houston - IND Take a week off and I forgot Indy was still in the league.
New York (NYG) vs Seattle - SEA I'm picking against the spread more on this one.
Philadelphia vs Washington - PHI. maybe Brad Lidge will even come in and close for them.
Carolina vs Kansas City - CAR. Carolina wins games. Chiefs prefer only to beat Denver.
Chicago vs Detroit - Two QBs that need to STFU. CHI's is less of a bitch at least.
Denver vs Tampa Bay - Winner of this game has to hire Lane Kiffin as an asst. DEN
Arizona vs Buffalo - BUF This year's Super Bowl is gonna break some hearts, I tell ya.
Dallas vs Cincinnati - DAL would have a better challenge playing the Bearcats.
New England vs San Francisco - NE See Indianapolis.
Jacksonville vs Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh has no running game left. That's okay because JAX has no passing game.
New Orleans vs Minnesota - MIN Jaworski caught playing solitaire on telepstrater.

you guys i would like to point out that i had an astute observation last night during one of the 80 billion insane things that john mccain says lately, that john mccain is the lane kiffin of having a presidential campaign. nothing but 80 yard field goals because he secretly hates the idea of being a president and he is taunting his fellow crazy people.

That would make Palin=Kiffin and McCain=Al Davis, wouldn't it? During the honeymoon of course.

No.

Saying that John McCain is like Lane Kiffin is giving John way too much credit. John McCain is like Dan Snyder, in a competition he can't ever hope to win, and wasting his time and money on ill-advised free agent signings.

i would like to point out that i am still otm

i would vote for a Raiders candidate in this forthcoming presidential election. were there such a candidate running. and were i eligible to vote. Davis/Unwitting Chump '08 is the ticket for me.

i would like to point out that i am still otm
― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Thursday, October 2, 2008 8:22 PM (2 hours ago)

Don't make me go to "posts in character" now.

no fan of snyder but.. skins look good right now

the one time i watched a debate w/a bunch of republicans in the same room i quickly realized that every single thing that sounds 100% insane to one side is completely OTM to the other..

Green Bay vs. Atlanta - Even if Rodgers doesn't play the Green Bay Defense should come through. Pack.
Tennessee vs. Baltimore - The D is still ferocious and maybe the Ravens have finally found their guy in Flacco. Balts.
San Diego vs. Miami - I'm really annoyed when a commentator keeps repeating the stale phrase, "best personnel in football." San Diego's record doesn't reflect that at all. “What the Hell” pick of the week. Fins.
Indianapolis vs. Houston - Houston has improved enough to be ordinary and Indy has declined enough to be the same. Indy.
New York vs. Seattle - This should be a no contest. Eli's.
Philadelphia vs. Washington - Best 2-2 team ever. Wiggles.
Carolina vs. Kansas City - I'm glad I don't have to watch this. Panthers.
Chicago vs. Detroit - Millen is gone, but the Lions are still putrid. Bears.
Denver vs. Tampa Bay - Denver's a fraud. Tampa.
Arizona vs. Buffalo - So's Zona. Buffs.
Dallas vs. Cincinnati - Chad's says he's going to kiss the star if he gets a touchdown. That could be the only interesting thing about this game. If Dallas plays well they could break 60. Boys.
New England vs. San Francisco - Pats.
Jacksonville vs. Pittsburgh - Remember the cripple fight scene from South Park, this is the football version. Stillers.
New Orleans vs. Minnesota - Aint's

wtf is going on on fox right now

I'm getting bull riding and then House on fucking Fox @ noon today. Well, on the Fox I pick up clearly (no cable). On the Fox I pick up shittily it's Redskins - Eagles. Damn.

it begins

Manning P looks genuinely pained at that stalled drive. wonderful TV.

i know! he looked so sad!

you know i have no real reason to hate matt hasselbeck other than the fact that his sister-in-law is a raging bitch but i felt sort of gleeful when he went down

someone tell me what's going on in the Washington-Philly game. Philly has two td's already yay!

westbrook left game

shit

Ah, forgot to post my picks.

Green Bay > Atlanta
Tennessee > Baltimore
San Diego > Miami
Indy > Houston
Giants > Seattle
Philly > Washington
Carolina > KC
Chicago > Detroit
> Denver > Tampa
Buffalo > Arizona
Dallas > Cincinnati
NE > SF
Pittsburgh > Jax
Saints > Vikes

And Carolina in the Survival league.

has anone ever picked 100% rong in their pixors?

where is everyone!?

i haven't watched houston all year, but they look good! maybe it's just that the Colts suck this year?

Houston were very good at home last year. looks like that may have carried forward. how the rest of this game plays out will tell a lot about how the Colts are this year, but it looks like their defense isn't doing it, and their offense isn't doing it enough to make up the difference. and while that is wonderful news for everyone, i am concerned that the Pats will bee exactly the same.

WTF Dolphins!

lol chargers

the packers have issues if they lose today

Ronnie Brown is back, huh? anyone watching that game? are Miami playing comedy offense again or is this regular production?

this seattle game is brutal...

not watching but dolphins D deserves some cred or the chargers are just terribad

i see that Titans at Baltimore is the high-scoring shoot-out that everyone was expecting.

This sucks. I wanted to watch the Philly game but NY Network Stations aren't carrying it. Boo.

I'm beginning to think the Giants may be for real.

note - they are playing teh seahawks

what a brutal year for seattle sports fans :/

so the colts are done being the colts huh

Dungee should've retired last season so's he could've gone out on something of a high.

I'm watching the Chargers game. The Chargers keep trotting LT out there even though he's obviously not healthy and has no burst whatsoever. When they bring in Sproles, they give him the same sort of plays they'd normally give LT, which is insane. I don't understand why they don't bring in Jacob Hester and at least give him a try.

The Dolphins' defense is playing very, very well. They're getting a great pass rush, and the DBs are deflecting a lot of Rivers' passes. LT has run into a brick wall pretty often, but yet they keep sending him up the middle.

On offense, the Wildcat offense is scary, guys. And Pennington is playing perfect Pennington football ... short and medium passes over the middle, which is honestly the Chargers' biggest weakness. Hart and Weddle don't scare anyone, and the linebackers are always looking for the run or to pass rush (ineffectively).

I still think the Chargers will win this game, and the reason is that the Chargers are just a much better team when they're passing more than they're running. They keep trying to establish the run, but it isn't there right now. (As I say this, Rivers gets sacked for a big loss on first down.)

Also, the Chargers definitely do not have the best personnel in football. I am definitely ready to stop hearing that meme. They have a lot of depth all across the roster, but when you compare their defense to a team like the Ravens (for example), it's pretty obvious that they aren't on par. And the offensive line is pretty mediocre. They have great depth in terms of offensive playmakers, but they really miss Michael Turner a lot. They don't have someone who can really come close to replacing Merriman; Jyles Tucker and Marques Harris are good edge rushers, but they don't add much more than that, and get pushed around pretty easily in the running game.

Also, Gus Johnson has mispronounced a lot of names.

Seahawks have Branch and Engram back this week, but it hasn't helped them much.

Washington, huh.

Oh, nice run by Ladainian. Shows how much I know.

Ronnie Brown is IMPRESSIVE, y'all.

Perhaps the Chargers will not win this game.

Hoo boy.

this game is so terrible that the announcing team is now giving shout-outs to nine year old girls.

lol y have we not cut to other gamez?

eli left the game like 3 quarters ago after scoring 700 points.

no one is left in the stands yet we are all being held hostage by our teevees

Roflsenfels

two different games shown on my television, two different coaches that look exactly like a walrus.

Fuk, where did the Colts come back from?!

OK WHY ARE WE NOT ON THE COLTS NOW

Wow, I've seldom heard boos as loud as they are in Houston right now.

i wonder who san diego will blame their loss on this week.

also wtf colts

Wow @ Wash schedule over the next 3 weeks

i wonder who san diego will blame their loss on this week.

I hope they blame the Dolphins, because the Dolphins straight up beat them.

they should blame sage rosenfels too

oh i'm glad they cut to that exciting chicago-detroit game, thanks guys.

iggles fans started booing when they were still up 14-9.

i wonder who san diego will blame their loss on this week.

I hope they blame the Dolphins, because the Dolphins straight up beat them.

^^^ strong zing

anyone in dc area, i encourage you to tune into comcast for the zorn presser. guaranteed zaniness.

here... we... go...

I'm so glad we had the Colts/Texans game here, lord what a crazy turn of events. Sage Rosenfeld's went in a couple of minutes from winning the Houston starting QB job to probably having to hide underground, what a huge choke job. I will say that Gary Kubiak deserves quite a bit of the blame in the loss for not just running the rock. The dude should have just run the ball and punted if it came up. That is the kind of wack play calling that will get you fired. It would have taken a bigger miracle for the Colts to get the ball with like 2:30 and 1 time out to drive 80 for a TD, then get the ball back and kick a field goal to tie. The Colts with Manning have done that thing before, especially if you remember that crazy game against Tampa a few seasons back, but the odds of it happening are way less.

ugh! why is this game even on! bangles cowboys is not a good game! maybe i can just put on a movie.

http://

I'm assuming Santana Moss had some sort of family emergency otherwise HE WOULD HAVE BEEN SCORING POINTS ON MY FF ROSTER.

http://thegrandnarrative.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/kane-clap.gif

fuckin motherfuckin Chiefs

I should have watched the bull riding.

two mins, two picks in SF. a game for the football purist so far.

Aaaaaaan The Losman Era, Part II begins with a fumble. Missed ya JP.

Why is Losman playing?

7-0 Niners

Yeah, why's Losman in there? I'd have played Matt Ryan in my other fantasy team if I'd known.

o dam, taken off on a cart. :(

woooooooooooooooooo

Matt Cassel best QB

haha Cassel to Moss for 66 and the TD

Travis LaBoy waht is yr pr0n name?

NE so far have had eight cringingly awful offensive plays, one deep TD pass.

^^ Bledsoe playbook

wtf is going on with Pats secondary? this is fucking atrocious.

haha Lolsman is an oaf but an oaf with a big-ass arm

wau redskins!!!

no patsies game here, i have cincy-dallas :(

for some bizarre reason Cowboys' biggest tv market outside dallas metro is in Washington..

can we stop calling romo mobile now?

chargers lost to miami??! good lord. i had to be somewhere & missed a whole half day of football (have the skins game recorded though)

watching NE in the end zone is like water torture.

wtf palmer on that play.

i thought he musta got hit or something but he just floated into nowhere

floated the ball that is

watching mcnabb press conference and he's talking about how iggles are better than the boys and the skins and that they should have beaten them. can't help butnotice that he appears to be wearing rose-tinted glasses.

The Eagles did the same thing last year going 8-8. They were a better team than their record, but they seem to have caught into not being able to finish in some closer games.

Bangles refuse to go away.

So happy to be rooting against the Ravens again- ridic helmet bowl occurred today with the flaming thumbtacks and odious B.

so, is Romo ignoring T.O. just to spite him? i honestly thought Dallas were more than worth their 16 point spread or whatever but it looks like that is a game somehow.

This is more worrisome in terms of the Dallas season. As a Philly fan, I know how quickly relations with T.O. can devolve over the course of a season. Tonight he'll complain about not getting enough touches -- especially if Dallas ends up losing. Bad feelings will fester. Etc.

LOL

oh, dear. wheels are coming off in the big d.

Now I wish I had swapped Aaron Rodgers in on my Fantasy team instead of starting Romo. I'm still gonna win (I hope), but this is lamo.

um, is that cool for romo to just slide into the guy's legs like that to take him out

haha, cool

^^^ totally unexpected random onside kick & recovery by cincinnati that d never saw coming

this game is going silly.

madness, i say!

Finally.

important news from the chris cooley blog

http://chriscooley47.blogspot.com/2008/10/ultimate-beer-pong-table.html

Cra-azy.

this game already

is bob costas wasted?

romo man

classic shots of sad romo today

Great catch.

thank god, this is over.

woo, patsies. it's jville tonight yes?

i stopped watching to play video games. :\

hi guys. the cards killed trent edwards; all is ruin.

not really; i guess we're still 4-1 but daaaamn we played bad.

Is he out for the season? I bet on the opening kickoff of the Bills game and won ^_^

no i doubt it. all i can find out is that he had a concussion. meanwhile our entire defense played like they had concussions.

Najee Davenport got FAT during unemployment.

So I missed all of NFL today. All I know is that I nailed fins upset. Anything else interesting happen?

niiiiice

Surprised Del Rio isn't rocking a suit tonight for a national game.

I'm convinced we saw the end of roffflesburgers' career in the eagles game -- dude looked shook then; hasn't looked the same since (2+ games)

why do the jaguars and the panthers both look like 1996?

because they are?

i just spilled bbq sauce on my crotch by accident = more exciting than that cowboys game my television forced upon me

i was appreciative of cbs tho when they switched to the last few seconds of the 9ers/patsies game in which senator o'biden or whoever that qb is threw the ball away on 4th down??? what the hell, why not do that, it's 1996 in carolina.

worse -> cincy pretty much deciding with 1:30 left that they didn't want to try and win the game

at least that game gave us another patented Tony Romo Fumble (TM)

eli's united way commercial is in no way superior to peyton's

yeah but his face is

^^^ otm, eli is cute

omg can someone tell me why the jag cheerleaders are wearing pink baseball hats? "ok so we have to wear this hideous color combination dreamed up by some guy with a latte and rollerblades in 1994. how can we jazz this up? add pink!"

their outfits are ridiculous they wore pleather boots in the Bills game back when it was like a billion degrees out.

i realize they are girls but pink doesn't go with teal at all.

also, isn't teal girly enough?

Why do NFL teams even have cheerleaders anymore?

i am so proud of my giants for not investing is such buffoonery as cheerleaders.

in the '90s in cold weather, the buffalo jills wore oversized white tuxedo jackets over blue spandex bodysuits.

yeah, i remember that! they looked like strippers masquerading as majorettes.

have the giants never had cheerleaders? that's kind of awesome.

i was kinda wondering abt jag cheerleader outfits too, they could use a redesign or something.

also, the music played before the commercial just now -> depeche mode

the giants have never had officially sanctioned cheerleaders; at one point they had a group of ladies who showed up at the stadium calling themselves something like the giantettes or something insane who they would allow to go on the sidelines and cheer. this was only a couple years in the 60s and 70s though.

furthermore, i just clicked over to another tab by accident and realized i still had this up on my screen:

ok re: the jags endzone, memo to whoever did that: either make the WHOLE THING teal or none of it teal but the way you have it looks like a giant fail.

ha otm. also, interesting pass 2 nowhere, rofflesberger

ok who the hell was he just throwing that ball to? haha xpost

look @ all that sillycone

Nursing.

I was imagining her nursing on my cock, you see.

lol

suggest ban

horshoe, it wasn't entirely the D... Losman had a typical Losman game: 1 strike to Lee Evans, 1 int, 2 lost fumbles, 1800 yards lost on sacks.

WOAH WHAT IS WITH THEAT JAX OL FAKE BEARD

yeah, he started fucking up hardcore in the fourth quarter. trent edwards he ain't.

xpost

he's starting to look kind of good to me with the mountain man beard tho

^^^o_O

WHO IS THAT DUDE

I think it's Andrew Carnahan

NO IT'S TONY PASHOS

Why is there a priest standing behind Del Rio on the Jax sideline?

i feel like maybe the definition of unsportsmanlike conduct has gotten out of control.

^OTM. hated al michaels saying 'the league just won't allow that' dude was just excited abt the first down

all he did was extend his arm slighly with the ball in it for fuck's sake

i think one of the jax coaches was making a no-catch motion and he showed him the ball...

tomlin showed some big emotion after the last defensive stop...knew this was a big game

i love that about tomlin, that he is expressive.

omg jax cheerleaders, they can't wear those things! those are not clothes! it's not possible! i know it's florida but for crying out loud my high school dance team had better outfits

Why is there a priest standing behind Del Rio on the Jax sideline?

i noticed that too! weird

You know, I hear that if Robert Downey Jr isn't around for the sequel...

...Ben Roethlesburger could fill in as "Iron Man".

lol i love Deion Sanders, he just observed that the last time he cast aspersions on Ladainian Tomlinson's performance people got a little sensitive, a little "Ralph Tresvant."

so I tried to figure out what was up w/the priest hanging out on the sidelines, no luck, but, this -

During his first season with the Jaguars, after the team started 0-3, Del Rio had a massive tree stump and axe placed in the team locker room. He also placed a sign that had his new team mantra, "Keep Chopping Wood". It was intended to indicate how they were to slowly whittle away the huge obstacle in the way of improving the team. While most of the team was out for practice, punter Chris Hanson took a swing, missed the stump and seriously injured his non kicking foot. Hanson missed the remainder of the 2003 season, being replaced by Mark Royals. When asked by SEU student and Jags fan Danny Baggett what "chopping wood" meant, he replied, "Use your mind kid. It'll come."

Information on the specifics of Del Rio's involvement in the adult film industry are to date widely speculated yet unverified.

o_O

wait what

i don't know! that's what wikipedia says:

Del Rio wore a suit again during a December 10, 2006 win over the Indianapolis Colts, 44-17. It was widely rumored that the suit Del Rio wore was given to him by a former contact in the adult film industry. Although not verified, the bad press that resulted from Del Rio's associates in the adult film industry caused members in Jacksonville's front office to pressure Del Rio to return to more contemporary styles of coaching attire. Information on the specifics of Del Rio's involvement in the adult film industry are to date widely speculated yet unverified.

guys imagine how insufferable it's going to be when roffles tearfully leaves the steelers after an illustrious 16 year career

^^otm bookmark that post so you can quote it in 2017

"when roffles tearfully leaves the steelers after an illustrious 16 year career"

Considering the pounding the guy takes, Big Ben might not last that long. I figure he will eventually hit the same wall that Steve McNair ran into a couple of years ago where the injuries just keep piling up and his quality of play will start to slip.

The dude I wonder how he will go out is Peyton Manning. On the one hand, I could see him wanting to play long enough that he might try to get every last one of those passing records, but if Favre keeps going the dude might have to play into his 40s. On the other hand, I could see Peyton being the type of dude to maybe revel in walking away while he is still at the top. I also wonder if the guy has an inkling to go into coaching. I think most stars don't go that way as it is way too much work and there is way too much easy money to be made on TV, but he might be an exception (although I could see him wanting to coach in college for some reason).

I hear there's going to be a opening at the Vols really soon.

ben's third down pass to hines ward on the last drive was wau

lol i love Deion Sanders, he just observed that the last time he cast aspersions on Ladainian Tomlinson's performance people got a little sensitive, a little "Ralph Tresvant."

^^^weird. i was singing 'sensitivity' earlier to my gf.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK regarding TD pass from Randle El to Cooley: “It worked out awesome,” Zorn said. “You know how many times we practiced that play? Once.”

adrian peterson is so cuet

who are the ugliest famous running backs in futbol history? i'm having trouble thinking of any who arent good lookin

thurman and o.j. both goodlooking men. BEAST MODE is maybe not as much, but certainly not ugly.

all the rest of the running backs i can think of range from okay to cuet.

ok yeah marshawn's kinda wacky lookin. but idk, LJ, LT, regbush, ricky williams, better than average lookin guys imo. frank gore kinda throws a wrench in this theory tho

marcus allen was famously hot.

yeah thinking of historical dudes my first thought was oj and sweetness

haha the inconvenient truth was where i stopped, too. LT is v. v. goodlooking imo.

hmm. rb has always been my favorite position. apparently i am just shallow.

are you guys seeing this commercial for a smashing pumpkins tour? what year is this?

whoa awesome

gramattica jjust got heself cut

John Riggins, Jim Brown = not good looking.
Edgerrin James, Larry Csonka = downright ugly.

edgerrin james is not ugly!

yeah edge isnt ugly, riggins wasnt really ugly either he just refused to shear the jewfro

omg! also, yeah, that dude is also not ugly.

idk why but ron dayne came to mind:

That was a horrible call by Hochuli, in my humble opinion.

Peterson definitely fumbled that ball.

This game has been ludicrous.

LenDale?

http://llc.fanball.com/fanball/images/story/8976.jpg

so ok what was the over/under on whether or not hochuli's car would be firebombed in no tonight???

that snap -- what was that?

omg that dunbar block and celebrations

hahahahaha otm

i'm watching with two vikings fans (who have already declared this a vikings loss) and two giants fans, including myself. the giants fans are all like, dudes it's not EVEN the 4th quarter, calm down. massive divide.

Hey guys, Gus Frerotte is horseshit.

Also horseshit: Bernard Berrian.

REGGIE BUSH!!!!

wau, reggie bush 26, vikings 20.

overheard recently in dc bar: "is this the last year of tony kornheiser's contract? he's really shitty"

Kornheiser is such a starfucker.

my dad grew up a vikings fan & since about late 90's seems to have given up completely on nfl due to vikings braek hart all the time.

rip frerotte, the oldest man in the world not named favre

TAVARIS!

ok that was dope

Unbelievable weird catch by Berrian for the touchdown, wtf. This game has been amazing.

was it tom jackson @ halftime saying this has been one of the weirdest seasons ever..

ok so we've all been here dissing these teams as being horrible all game (i mean 2 punt returns for a td? the field goal block?) but MAYBE these guys are actually playing AMAZING. maybe this is the next level. running your dudes into each other in the end zone so one of them has to have the ball somehow.

i mean, guys? for real? that field goal block? what the fuck was that guy even doing back there that he caught the ball? where was he going to begin with?

Billy Miller got his bell rung for real.

So don't create
Be sedate
Be a vegetable at home
And thwack on that dial
If we have our way even you will believe this is the future of nfl
tony kornheiser, get off the air

Fuck it guys, I am going to eat this entire garden vegetable lasagna AND have another beer.

Shit, good job by Miller getting up from that.

I wish Kornheiser would stop talking about "If you were going to write an article about this game..." stfu.

that field goal block was absurd i was about to txt you like VIKINGS DID SOMETHING KIND OF COOL
the other thing i was going to txt was JEREMY SHOCKEY IS ON THE SIDELINE AND HAS ORANGE HAIR

yes this game is a craziness.

seriously, how much money does shockey make that he can't afford to get a decent colorist who will not turn his hair orange? this is not difficult!

I would not be comfortable with this game coming down to Grammatica.

argh shut up kornheiser, shut UP

Gramatica is officially the most hilarious-looking NFL player, pound-for-pound.

OH NOES

I would not be comfortable with this game coming down to Grammatica.

oh joker.gif

btw grammatica? he looks like a dude that was on a roman coin in the bc times. what is up with his face.

robert meachem is having a terrible game. He was supposed to run a curl on third down and ran a streak instead. Oops. He's made so many mistakes.

this game is going to go to overtime isn't it. because god forbid i ever get to sleep.

Sean Payton has eyes like blue steel.

This game is over. Vikings win.

http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg182/The-Joker-2008/The%20Dark%20Knight/heath-ledger-as-joker.gif

What a bag of piss. Fucking Saints.

this game was unsatisfying

idk i enjoyed it quite a bit

frerotte really doesnt look that old until the camera closes in on his face and you notice the grey stubble

i mean it was good. the way it ended was unsatisfying. to me.

did yall see the random NO fan dressed up like the joker?? i think it was a woman, they showed this person just before halftime

ya the ending sucked

all these random NO fans were dressed awesomely and i salute them

the joker was really very O_o ok if that's how you wanna go to a football game, i ain't gonna stop ya.

this game was so questionable but it did go far to prove my point: all divisions besides nfc east are full of straight up hobos.

no doubt

drew brees sez "it's probably one of the weirdest games i've ever been involved in"

Being a head coach has really aged Sean Payton, That guy used to look like a kid, now he looks really fried. Of course games like this one tonight are probably not helping his raccoon eyes.

game was super entertaining but neither of these teams are any good. was a competition to see who could make more mistakes and let the other dude win..oh shure we'll let reg bush basically return 3 kicks in a row. well sir you are quite the gentleman here is our laughable secondary coverage and kicking sideshow grammatica for your troubles

fuck ed hochuli. for real. i don't give a shit when he fucks with the chargers but new orleans has enough problems without him calling saints games. dunbar hit and aged gus gettin laid out made up for a lot of it tho

need gif of dunbar smash

also screencap of awesome forehead bruise from gus' postgame interview

ok everyone i was with was like "that is just what his face looks like" and i was like "that is a bruise, guys, altho come to think of it it is not like i have any idea what this guy looks like so maybe it isn't" so i'm glad someone else knew it was a bruise

cooleyblog update
Nothing could have been better watching those fans sulk on their way home after they egged our buses driving in, screamed "sucks" after every player on our starting offense was introduced, and then proceeded to talk shit to us all day. I rejoiced driving away watching sorry stragglers flip off our bus with tears in their eyes.

i thought it was funny when tony kornheiser was like "LOL WHO THINKS OF THESE DISPARATE STATS HOW WEIRD!!" because it was the closest anyone from ESPN has ever gotten to mentioning on air ESPN's baseless self-inflation wrt MNF

also they had to FOCUS GROUP (this was an official announcement!! about focus groups!!) to figure out that people did want to hear jaworski interviewing russel crowe during mnf games

the entire mnf staff should be fired
