NYG @ CLE When the fuck do the Giants play a good team?? Hmmm, after some research the second half of their schedule is murder. Got lucky playing Washington during Jim Zorn's nu-coach mulligan week.

NE @ SD New England
NYG @ CLE NYG

i wish everyone would stop pretending the cowboys are some awesome team that is somehow better than what arizona's been playing like. there, i said it. t.o. spending all his time going back to being a big baby only enforces my opinion that they will lose this game. I HAVE CONFIDENCE.

it's just weird. they have so many amazing players. i don't get them.

they big babies, is the problem. giant, giant, schefter-babyesque babies.

CIN @ NYJ - Cinci. Favre's practical jokes have cost him the respect of his teammates
OAK @ NO - NO. See above, replace Favre with Al Davis.
CAR @ TB - TB. Pewter and AquaTeal Bowl. Hoping the game is shown in black & white.
STL @ WAS - WAS. I guess the Rams are terrible again.
BAL @ IND - BAL. Crushing defense makes up for Flacco. It helps to say Flacco in a Gilbert Gottfried "ALFAC" voice.
MIA @ HOU - Dolphins have the all important uniform edge but Houston will win.
DET @ MIN - MIN. I keep waiting for Detroit to actually play well.
CHI @ ATL - A close one for some reason. Cankles has got the Falcons playing well. Tossup.
JAC @ DEN - DEN. Watching the JAX offense last Sunday night was like watching the Browns.
GB @ SEA - GB. I dunno tho. could be close. who really knows.
PHI @ SF - PHI. McNabb! gets going again.
DAL @ ARI - Cardinals will work that desert mojo to no avail.
NE @ SD - SD. Put these teams in throwback unis, turn on the technicolor and I would care.
NYG @ CLE - sorry schef

im way the fuck off the cowboys bandwagon despite their high ratio of ballerz but i have to say that t.o.'s acceleration against the bengals last week was usain bolt like and tbh gave me a robust erection

all the games suck this week

i would like to see the packers lose and the jets win so packers fans will start reenacting the trailer of the happening

does anyone think the redskins can hold on even with the rest of their NFC east schedule at home??

yes. why becuse Portis look intrstng.

yes because god loves jim zorn and will never let him feel let down

CIN @ NYJ Fun, Fun, Fun!!! Farves.
OAK @ NO Have they cut Grammatica yet? New Orleans!
CAR @ TB Panthers.
STL @ WAS Can we send St. Louis to Conference USA or something? Skins.
BAL @ IND I'm picking Bodymore again. I think their defense will drive the Colts batty.
MIA @ HOU Fins! More wildcat plays please.
DET @ MIN As long as Frerotte doesn't get crazy and slam his head against a stadium wall. Vikes.
CHI @ ATL Chi-town.
JAC @ DEN I called Denver a fraud last week. I'm going to pick them which means they'll probably tank.
GB @ SEA Hawks are hopeless. Bays.
PHI @ SF Philly is starting to look like the walking wounded. Philly.
DAL @ ARI Boys.
NE @ SD Norv Turner death watch starts here. Pats.
NYG @ CLE Oh brownie.. Giants.

yes because god loves jim zorn and will never let him feel let down

-can this be next week's title?

^^^ absolutely

NYG @ CLE 5-0

MIA @ HOU

houston is going to win this game. past two weeks they lost to the jags by 3 and then the colts game. both teams are better than the dolphins + houston has beat the dolphins like 54850 years in a row

Jimmy the Mod otm. While I predict a higher scoring game than a 5-0 Browns victoy I think we can agree on the outcome.

little help...

challops? wot ees?

challop = challenging opinion

akin to the "bold clam"?

that's the one

i think marshall faulk is a little uncomfortable with adam corolla's devotion to him.

btw i'm still trying to wrap my head around this marvin harrison in attempted murder beef thing

i loved the handshake where he held onto faulk's hand for wayyy too long

I kept waiting for Faulk to stop talking while they held hands in silence.

my DVR's been broken since week 3 so i haven't been able to break down any falcons games in a while, but their young players are already improving. curtis lofton (MLB) is making strides with every game. i picked them to win against chicago, but i don't really think they have a shot - bears should be able to control both sides of the los, only chance of winning is if ryan has a great game imo. roddy white took a shot to the head in practice today and is questionable for sunday, and if he doesn't play ATL's pretty much screwed.

uh, so anybody else hear brady quinn shilling for mccain on npr this am?

ugh.

a notre dame republican.

uh, so anybody else hear brady quinn shilling for mccain on npr this am?

Now he's done.

Joe Thomas too. The season is chaos.

CIN @ NYJ Jets, but i think this will be close. Cincy players seem to have been shocked out of apathy by their record so far
OAK @ NO i picked NO to hammer the Vikes last time and i was kinda right, even if the result wasn't. they should make up for that here.
CAR @ TB Carolina slightly better than i thought, Tampa slightly worse. i still think Bucs edge this, though.
STL @ WAS professional, not too exciting beating administered by Wash
BAL @ IND hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. could go either way. Ravens. i don't think they give Indy the gifts Sage did.
MIA @ HOU Houston finally get it right.
DET @ MIN i think Vikes could win this without ever passing the ball.
CHI @ ATL Chicago looking fairly sturdy, won't give Falcs opportunities they will need to win
JAC @ DEN hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. i'll go Denver but i still ain't buying the Broncos.
GB @ SEA SHOOT OUT. Hawks could win this if they are super aggressive on O vs banged up Pack D but need a confidence they don't have right now.
PHI @ SF this Eagles team is a total mystery. i think they will win but niners should make it a game.
DAL @ ARI i'd guess Cards need 3 turnovers to be in this game, which is certainly possible
NE @ SD Pats have Norv's Bolts team's number, i suspect
NYG @ CLE Browns and monday night TV both need an Eli implosion to make this game interesting

as if to underscore my indecision, i bolded the Colts instead of the Ravens. tho if Indy wins i meant it.

McQuinn/Palin '08

CIN @ NYJ -- I suppose Jets as the Bengals while seeming to improve on defense, they are still losing.
OAK @ NO -- I'm curious to see if Oaktown turns into a wreck and the Saints give up a whole lot of points. I'm going NO.
CAR @ TB-- This is a pretty interesting game. Tampa seems to be a club that I can't figure, so I will go Panthers in a squeaker and watch the Bucs make me wrong again.
STL @ WAS -- Redskins, but at some point the Rams are probably going to have a good game.
BAL @ IND -- Bmore likes to get fired up to play the Colts, but I have a feeling that Indy will pull it out.
MIA @ HOU -- After a loss like that one, Houston has to be really shook up. Miami seems like the real deal, so I will take them on the road, even though they are still kind of an unknown quantity.
DET @ MIN -- Minnesota is not quite right, but the Lions have only won like 3 games on the road in the last 10 years.
CHI @ ATL -- Wow, who would have thought this would be an interesting matchup? I figured the Bears were set for a big slide and have come through pretty well with the offense being much better than expected and the defense being solid. I have not yet seen the Falcons yet, but you cannot argue with the results. I'm going to be a fan boy and go Bears, but this looks like a pickem game probably leaning Atlanta. Going by the stats, Michael Turner is looking like an excellent pickup.
JAC @ DEN -- This is another interesting matchup. J-ville is kind of up and down, but I would suppose their game plan is going to be the same as a Colts game to completely control the clock and keep Denver's passing game on the sidelines. Their success is probably tied to controlling the ball and Denver has been giving up 134 yards a game on the ground. I'm going Jags on the road.
GB @ SEA -- This used to be a big TV game...not anymore. I think the Packers are the better club, but Seattle is a tough place to win. If Rogers plays the whole game, I'm going Packers.
PHI @ SF -- The 49ers are improved, but I figure they have not seen a blitz like the Eagles. I'm going Philly.
DAL @ ARI -- This is the biggest game the Cardinals have had in a long time, if they win they move way up the charts to being a 'contenda'. I figure this one will be an old school AFC type score like 41-38. I still have to figure the Cowboys will win, but I would like to see the Cards pull it out.
NE @ SD -- This one is definitely not the big game you would have figured before the season started. I figure it will be kind of an ugly game and the Chargers pull it out in the end.
NYG @ CLE -- Boy the Browns have slid into the toilet and the Giants are looking like thumpers. I figure this will either be a laugher which in the end starts the Brady Quinn era or Cleveland will play the G.I. Ants like the Bengals did at home and keep it close. Either way, I'm going New York. Browns are not good against the run and the Giants seem to be pounding teams with their running game. I think one of the biggest things for the Giants is keeping players healthy so that they can play this good at the end of the season.

Adrian Wilson fined $25,000 for Edwards hit...

I love the lack of love for Miami in this thread.

I mean I know they've never beat Houston, but they've only played three times total, one of which came during the Daunte debacle, the other that came in a game that Trent Green was knocked unconscious.

You have to figure that Houston is due. I still went Miami, as they have to get something for beating SD and NE, even if that is not the same type of accomplishment now as it would have been at the beginning of the season. Houston has some good parts, but it just doesn't seem to be gelling together and they played really terrible the first couple weeks of the year.

I think the Dolphins getting Pennington right before the season started changed a whole lot about their team. They went from having a black hole at QB, to a guy that while limited is very efficient. Putting him in the back field with that running game really jumps up the quality of play. I think the same thing would have happened to the Vikings if they would have gotten Pennington, as that is an offense that would have worked to what he could do. The Jets on the other hand had little run game, a terrible o-line and their pass receivers seem to be better at a deep attack passing game. The Jets o-line is improved, but they still are living and dying on Favre being able to chuck it up deep and somehow it working out.

I don't know that I really believe in the whole "this team is due" concept. I kept saying that about Miami last year after they had several 'almost wins' and by the time they were 0-13 I had pretty much given up.

Houston needs a true QB, is its problem. Matt Schaub proves that with QBs, transplanted backups don't always turn into studs. Sage Rosenfels can only win in relief.

Despite my snarky comments about him, Pennington completely makes sense for Miami, and s the type of QB they have needed. None of Miami's WRs scare anybody, but they're all competent enough (well, except for Ginn) to get open as possession receivers.

Back in 2005, the beginning of the Saban era, Miami needed a guy like that, and they decide to go out and get Gus Frerotte, a dude that can throw a deep ball but is horribly inaccurate. So I'm sold on Porter. But Sparano and staff in general have done a bangup job using what they have to their strengths. One could argue that Cam Cameron, for about six weeks of last season, may have had a more talented team than Sparano did at this point, and couldn't win with them.

sold on Porter=sold on Pennington

Peko looks like something out of Jim Henson's Creature Shop

i can't watch football today because i have too much work, but could someone explain the detroit minnesota game? 3-2 detroit at the half? wtf?

FG, safety, two (2) shitty teams. It's pretty self explanatory, really.

Either that or it's really the Wings/Wild game and they got teh scorez mixed up

i guess i would have thought minnesota would have been able to score a little more on offense against the detroit d!

lolfarve

if STL pulls this out, There Will Be Roffles

ps I hope al davis is happy now lololol

13-7 with St. Louis up was the score in the St Louis-Buffalo game in the third quarter, too...

or 13-6, but same diff.

ok, I just got back to Washington like 5 minutes ago, WTF happened to my team!? i mean i was checking teh score on the blackberry while on the highway for 2 hours but that didn't tell me much

wau what did they decide to make up for all those other games where nobody turned the ball over?!

Winslow won't playing tomorrow against the Giants. The only giants he'll be facing are his giant testicles.

dude are the redskins trying to emulate last year's giants by only winning on the road or what?

i am ok with that if they follow to the logical conclusion.

"60 minutes"

Kurt's old enough to be Romo's dad, right?

damn @ marion barber

btw fuck the bears imo. this has always been my take: if you're winning by 3 pts or less and mere seconds are left on the clock, kick it long because they need a td and kicking it short in the middle leaves open the possibility for, i dunno, a great pass to the sideline and a quick field goal to win the game for the other team. if you're up by more than 3, then you kick it shallow. >: (

also go for a field goal when you're on 4th and goal and down by 9

this cowboys game

!!! haha awesome

football gods have spoken

I've seen it all.

I mean who blocks two kicks in about 1 min of game time?!

omg did the cardinals actually manage to win? amazing

truly, I Love the NFL.

LMBOOOO

you didn't see that!? ridiculous ending
let me see if I got this right

1. cowboys probably trying to kick ~56 yd FG to tie it
2. romo spikes the ball to stop the clock for FG attempt
3. cards dude shook up on previous play can't get off the field
4. penalty makes it 51 yd FG attempt
5. FG attempt is BLOCKED by AZ but wait, their coach called a last second time out to ice the kicker, so it doesn't count
6. second FG attempt is GOOD
7. OVERTIME--> Dallas wins toss, runs 3 plays, one of which is Romo fumbling the ball but luckily falling on it
8. Dallas punt BLOCKED by AZ who run it all of 4 yards into the end zone, game over

omg amazing

ken w. clearly didn't learn the shanahan lesson re: icing the kicker

anyway lol at the fucking cowboys

you guys I went to Sonic for a milkshake, did I miss anythign

ok also the officials took about 5 solid minutes to figure out how to assign that penalty for the last play of the game (fg attempt)

also cards were up 24-14 with about 3 min left and seemingly would win no question

dallas is absurd

how did philly manage to put up about 17 points in the last 2 minutes of that game? am i crazy?

ok i have espn on right now but if a T.O. press conf pops up anywhere else please let me know

lol female reporter just asked romo if he had fun today

at this point i'd like to raise a practical question: why is faith hill wearing a puffy pirate shirt?

should be topless amirite

re: skins v. rams

the turnover the rams scored on was preposterous. it was a tip play. for some inexplicable reason, pete kendall thought it would be a good idea to catch it and run w/ it. he got popped, the ball came out y ya.

ugg-lee. special teams was dog shit, randle-el drops a lot of passes and cooley fumbled, too.

portis was a beast, though.

crazy. i mean going from 0 turnovers to that.. ?

hoping randy moss will BE EXCELLENT in this next game

http://www.bradblog.com/Images/siren.gifT.O. NOT GOING TO THE PODIUMhttp://www.bradblog.com/Images/siren.gif

NORV!

the LAST thing they'd expect!

fwiw i think the cowboys' kicker slowed up on the first kick cuz they blew the whistle while he was about to kick it

LADANIAN TOMLINSON and the SAN DIEGO CHARGERS versus TOM BRADY and the NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS in the ***AFC DIVISIONAL PLAYOFF CHAMPIONSHIP GAME***

:`(

NEVER FORGET

also the last two passes by romo in OT were to t.o. but they weren't good throws really and t.o. did not look pleased~

he generally is not too pleased when things like that happen

watching pats epic fail isn't as much fun when bardy isn't doing the failing

i'm also not as sad about it. but.. its still first quarter
free randy moss

you know what would make me love football more is if i could just watch more of those caveman geico commercials because they are just hilarious and feature billie jean king and never fail to make me laugh out loud

well, they can't very well make another don lafontaine commercial, can they?

what is even going on in the geico motorcycle commercial? where the hell are they meeting those girls?

barack obama must have bought the airtime from geico in the nova market, we are seeing mccain attack ads instead of cavemen

what is even going on in the geico motorcycle commercial? where the hell are they meeting those girls?

haha we watched lost highway the other night btw O_o

as an aside, i'd like to say that the second their backup qb RAN OUT OF THEIR OWN END ZONE resulting in a safety, detroit should've been asked to leave the nfl immediately.

this is the perfect season for new nfl fans, all their questions like, what would happen if you tried a 75 yard field goal, what would happen if you ran out of your own end zone, what would happen if your offensive lineman tried to catch a pass, what would happen if you were celebrating and dropped the ball before you reached the end zone.. asked and answered!

haha otm

what did they ever do to deserve this

http://regulus2.azstarnet.com/blogs/images/2209.jpg

this. game. sucks.

checkmate xp

whoah anyone else just see the ad for strahan guest star on some sitcom?

I had a phone call...how the heck did they reverse that fumble in the end zone by Romo in the Cardinals game? There is no way he was passing the ball, he was going to and was tucking it back down as he was going to get hit. I still cannot believe they reversed that call. Some times a fumble is just a fumble.

I also cannot figure how the Falcons got a 40 yard fly pattern out of bounds in five seconds of clock time. That seems like some bending the laws of time Barry Allen kind of pass pattern or something.

madden: "I think some people just come to boo. You know, full moon, boo night, but they didn't have anything to boo until now."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuck_rule

Even though the game was not on around here, I still got some laughs watching all of the pros talking about how Ray Lewis was going to psych out the Colts, how Marvin Harrison is old and then Peyton Manning goes and rolls Chris McCallister on some bombs like a drunken bum. B-more has played the Colts tight at home (BUT LOST) and the Colts have kicked the Raven's ass pretty good the last couple of times in Indy.

I kind of see the Brady play, even though it was lame, but Romo's hand was going into his body to pull the ball back preparing to get hit. The ball was like on his belly when it got knocked out. To me, that was a bad call.

there is nothing not funny about this sd/ne game btw

or half the games today, bears included :-\

it's awful, ugly, boring and bad

far as i remember the brady play, his hand wasn't moving forward when the ball was knocked out either, but since he'd made a passing motion already, it still wasn't a fumble.. right? did romo make a passing motion? i can't remember

wow @ david garrard's post-game press conference ensemble

Guys i did my first tailgate and I ate four courses and drank five beers and watched a pretty shitty game but I LIKE THIS SUBCULTURE

as an aside, i'd like to say that the second their backup qb RAN OUT OF THEIR OWN END ZONE resulting in a safety, detroit should've been asked to leave the nfl immediately.

neil was wailing to me abt this - there truly is no more pitiable monster in the world than the lions fan :[

In the clip I saw it appeared that the QB had no idea that he was out of the endzone, that the endzone itself stretched to infinity.

ha, I spent the day with four lions fans and all they could do was check their goddamn blackberries and iphones on that game all day and moan at the end.

So is there a "Bench Cassel" petition I can sign somewhere? Maybe along with a "Bench Half the Defense" petition?

GUYS GUYS GUYS

any active comments section pretty much

Oh god I can imagine what they're saying.

Seriously, it is one thing to have an inexperienced QB who hasn't figured out how to check down, hasn't figure out when to throw the ball away, tries to do too much, etc. etc.

It's another thing entirely to have a QB who has learned those lessons too well.

haha tony romo out for a month with a PINKY INJURY lololol

seriously?

espn says so.

FUCK goodbye fantasy season.

The o_O stat of the day was the fact that the Cardinals have won a playoff game more recently than the Cowboys.

7.5 more hours.

i don't know why you are so eagerly anticipating your beloved browns being humiliated on national television.

haha tony romo out for a month with a PINKY INJURY lololol

this is truly the greatest season ever

I'm 30 points in front of my opponent in my yahoo fantasy league.

Tonight, I've got Braylon Edwards.

He's got Eli and the Giants defense.

Brownie, we've got to make sure my team gets to Tuesday morning okay.

no problem

Guys the Browns will win because we have TAILGATE POWER:

This has been going on since like 7am.

wtf does all of cleveland take off columbus day? are they all civil servants?

No, they are all unemployed schlubs, except for me sitting in my office taking pics and mocking them on the intertubes.

My version of hell would be tailgating with Browns fans for 12 hours. It will get ugly make no mistake.

Pancakes, I've had a drink or two on that patio.

Me, too!

Actually, even better than that crowd in the Muni Parking Lot is this little gathering on the roof of the Holiday Inn garage, right under my office window:

Four, four wonderful tailgaters! The bright orange dot near middle right is wearing a Kellen Winslow jersey.

i hope he has footballs in his pants to replicate the size of kellen's balls

gotta love the Holiday Inn that, instead of facing the lake, faces two adjacent buildings.

so much to answer for

looooool

Now there is a cornhole game going on on the garage roof, on the other side. We're all waiting for the guys to get tanked enough to throw the beanbags right over the edge. Or hurl their empties at passing freight trains.

Also golden: The orange bus with goalposts on the back, and the two guys zipping around the muni lot on little scooters. damnm, I should be liveblogging the whole thing.

OH SHIT GUYS DOUBLE CORNHOLE FANTASTICNESS

NFL: Browns Stagger Back Into Monday Night Spotlight

CLEVELAND (AP) _ Braylon Edwards left his first Monday night game angry at the world.

He had gone to the Pontiac Silverdome in 1995 as an excitable seventh grader with dreams of playing in the NFL. He sat in the stands with his dad expecting to see a rout.

A huge fan of the San Francisco 49ers, he was sure Steve Young and Jerry Rice would hook up for several touchdown passes and the defending Super Bowl champions would demolish his hometown Detroit Lions.

"I was thinking, no way in heck they lose to the Lions," Cleveland's wide receiver said.

Heck happened.

"What do you know?" Edwards said. "(Detroit's) Herman Moore and Brett Perriman had outstanding games and Barry Sanders went crazy, rushed for about 180 yards. They beat the 49ers up and there I was, mad."

Edwards can only hope his Monday night debut as a player goes better. He and the disappointing Browns (1-3) will take the field as enormous underdogs against the unbeaten New York Giants, who will carry an 11-game road winning streak (12 counting the neutral site Super Bowl) into the matchup and who embarrassed Cleveland during the exhibition season.

"This is a dream for me to play on 'Monday Night Football,' " Edwards said. "Back to when you were a kid, everybody wants to have three or four touchdowns on it and be player of the game. We're going to be so pumped up, the first two series we'll just work on getting rid of the butterflies and try to get everyone going."

Going forward would be preferred. To this point, the Browns are crawling — backward.

Week 7: Heck Happened

plz keep updating us on holiday inn tailgaters

that's a pretty shitty week 7 title

what would happen if you tried a 75 yard field goal, what would happen if you ran out of your own end zone, what would happen if your offensive lineman tried to catch a pass, what would happen if you were celebrating and dropped the ball before you reached the end zone NFL WEEK 7

better

Sorry gr8080, I left the office at 4:30. :( But the spirit of the Holiday Inn Cornholers LIVES ON.

^downtown bowling alley

25 dollars has just been wagered. Browns getting 9.

25 Zimbabwe dollars btw

Yet, Braylon Edwards, like many other professional athletes, dreams of bigger and better things, inside and outside of football. In a recent article in ESPN The Magazine, writer Carmen Reneé Thompson followed Edwards around for a day of meetings with the higher ups who hold his pass to silver screen stardom. Edwards claimed that “Outside of a Super Bowl ring, my definition of success is making more money after football.”

Of course, Edwards was not alone. His agent, Creative Artists Agency’s Howard Skall (who also represents Brady Quinn), accompanied him throughout the day. Edwards represents a growing percentage of athletes who are getting more and more interested in off-the-field pursuits in the entertainment industry. Along with hoping to make cameo appearances on shows like HBO’s Entourage or being a guest on Oprah, Edwards feels that he is capable of being a lead actor in a film and hopes to lock down a major endorsement deal this summer.

Braylon Edwards offered more than just advice and encouragement to 100 Cleveland Public Schools eighth-graders Wednesday.

He offered $1 million in college scholarship money.

Edwards officially unveiled his Advance 100 Program in an event at Lincoln West High School that was attended by Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson, Cleveland Public Schools CEO Dr. Eugene T.W. Sanders, Browns head coach Romeo Crennel and other key community and Browns leaders.

A banner hanging outside the auditorium stated the Braylon Edwards Foundation's slogan, "Receiving is Giving."

The Advance 100 program, an initiative of the Braylon Edwards Foundation, will challenge the students to excel in and out of the classroom and reward them when they do. Each participant is eligible to receive $10,000 in scholarship money.

A great man in tough times.

wow, tony kornheiser, these "could eli be the better manning" talking points are already making me want to kill you and the game hasn't even started yet.

yay Braylon!

Aww, Browns fans are so endearing.

oh come on

wasted drive!

saaaaved by zeeerrrooo is driving me beserk

that was sort of lame, yeah :(

Yeah saved by zero is them trying to fool people into thinking that they bought an actual song.

brandon jacobs is lol hueg

BEND DON'T BRAK HEART

omg brownie! yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

omg

Fabulous play by Pool.

JUST HAND THE BALL OFF TO JACOBS

stop helping the enemy!

i don't know who i am anymore

brownie i think your browns are executing a good drive!

perhaps i spoke too soon.

:(

Anderson has to go!

So is this the year the league is officially wacky for long field goals?

THROW A SWING PASS TO HARRISON I BEG OF YOU

GET HIM IN THE GAME

believeland?

ugh.

oh cleveland

nice tacklin'

jacobs cannot be stopped

wait, are the numbers on the helmets a new thing or are the browns sporting the old school shit tonight?

old shit- I think it's from 57 or 58.

browns don't have alot of throwback options

oooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

oh my

O_O

well, i think those unis are pretty tight...y'know, for the browns.

white stripe on the helmet's kinda bad.

The Browns have just been playing possum all season, yeah?

stripe should match the numbers

Browns aren't folding like I thought they would.

They're playing a reasonable amount of defense and a reasonable amount of offense.

too many false starts that braek haerts

huh, cleveland.

!

NICE

HEIDEN/DINKINS '08

ANDERSON MUST STAY

I just want to use this opportunity to mention how much I love Jaws in these broadcasts.

haha brownie

yeah jaws is great 8/10 of the time

AMAZING

aw, man

WTF ARE THEY REVIEWING BESIDES MY UNBALANCED PSYCHE

DID EVERYONE JUST SEE THE BLUE STATE/RED STATE "WHO IS THE BETTER MANNING" MAP????

okay this game is awesome

HARRISON

that handoff was SIK

you were right!

xpost to brownie

thats the kind of play that MNF suspended-over-the-field cameras were invented for

man just catch that shit stallworth

horseshoe, harrison is the only reason I get up in the morning

needed a TD there.

Jacobs 7 straight time this drive.

just run the dude

i like the look of this harrison

i also like these false starts to lure the giants into a false sensse of security

okay i was lying. enough with the idiotic penalties, browns offense!

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?

anyone who reads through this thread after the fact: the browns are playing well but have false started approximately 87 times

So I've chasing the greased deadline pig and not paying attention to anything tonight, but I just turned it on and noticed they mentioned Winslow out with some sort of super secret illness. Anybody heard any good rumors? Atomic crotch dandruff? Sprained armpit? Infected tattoos?

oh god they make me nervous and I can't relax

Winslow=testicles

He grew a pair?

ouch

(j/k)

They're playing a reasonable amount of defense and a reasonable amount of offense.

PATTERNS DETECTIVE

What a crazy week... I bet there is like 2 people that bet all these games right this week. Up is down and left is right and there is like about 14 teams that could be in the Superbowl this year.

Rams over Redskins
Browns over Giants
Texans over Dolphins
Cardinals over Cowboys

thank god the giants are back, at least. i was kind of getting bugged not seeing them shit the bed on occasion.

xpost o yeah cankles be v proud of yrself

dar1a that redskins game was O_O

so drunk so happy so Edwards

"so edwards"!

i only saw the final quarter cuz i was watchin ZODIAC on showtime or some shit - i thought about football whenever mark ruffalo was onscreen tho, cuz his name rhymes with buffalo

i am glad for derek anderson. he is v. likable. i was worried about him.

xpost hah i love mark ruffalo for many reasons, but that is among them

i was gonna yellowcard you for being like the third person on the board to tell another poster to eat shit/go fuck themselves/go die or whatever this week but that mark ruffalo/buffalo thing melted my heart a little.

football players be lookin' all kinds of good to me lately, too. i will marry u, braylon!

:3

with one hand cankles gives and with the other takes

i'll be disappointed if u guys don't return the favor when the birds drop 11 L's in a row

http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/06M29uc0Xp2IA/340x.jpg

it is not worth my time to drop vitriol every time the birds lose a game my friends.

http://www.ageod.com/forums/images/smilies/sherlock.gif

Nice to see the entire division except maybe the eagles bought their own hype and forgot to practice this week.

This is a great season. Thank you Tom Brady for getting the ball...uh...rolling!

Even before the Chargers took the field, the day games made me feel like this:

the browns defense straight up beat the giants, tom, practice or no. the g defense tho...wtf were they doin tonight. <--- this is the only aspect that is annoying about this game because you know the imbeciles and jets fans in this godforsaken town are gonna start calling for eli's head again and not say boo about the horrible sub-rams performance put on by their defense tonight. tho this is good because the giants play better when they think everyone hates them. i do not look forward to next week because i am going to watch that game with a 9ers fan u_u

I'm just annoyed about the death of the road streak. at least our punter and qb aren't broekd.

http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x18/gr8080/1220122328723.gif

i didn't watch this game but if i was a giants fan i wouldn't put too much stock in it. the browns were playing for the season and i think they were probably due for a pretty good offensive game.

i guess i'd worry that the team is downplaying the plaxico issue (but nu-era coughlin should be able to handle this?) but i don't think the sky is falling just yet

ha, giants fans upset about streaks ending. ha.

Why are there no more pix of cleveland parking lots, wld like to see what is happening there now

my gf is in love with braylon edwards and just called tony romo "a pussy"
