NFL WEEK 12 - THEY MADE A MIKE TOMLIN JOKE ON 'HOUSE'

house said something about having all his starters back and getting ready to play or somethin and he said "i feel like mike tomlin" and then the camera went to foreman and he said "not as much as you do though"

it's funny, cuz i was just thinking a day or two ago that it would own if they had roethlisberger guest star as a football player whose brain has been turned into mush (no acting required lol), cuz then they could have him mistake omar epps for coach tomlin

n e wayz here's the schedule guys

Green Bay at Detroit
Oakland at Dallas
NY Giants at Denver
Indianapolis at Houston
Washington at Philadelphia
Carolina at NY Jets
Chicago at Minnesota
Seattle at St. Louis
Arizona at Tennessee
Cleveland at Cincinnati

this week in quotes

"Scared. Yeah. I know he was. Y'all can quote it, too. Y'all can tell him right now, tell him I'm sayin' it. I can say it right now: Yeah, he was scared, I think. I told him he was scared."

-- Redskins safety LaRon Landry

"We were smiling and having fun out there. We're outlaws for life. It's the Williams-Allen Gang with the Outlaws! It's the Williams-Allen Gang. Everyone else is the Outlaws. Look at Billy the Kid. Do they name every member in Billy the Kid's gang? No, it's Billy the Kid. The rest are the gang."

-- Vikings defense tackle Pat Williams

"I saw Brett after the game and said, 'Would you retire, please?'"

-- Jim L. Mora

"I have mixed emotions about that. A great athlete? Yes. A football player? No. Yeah LeBron, I said it. It's a punishing game. I just don't think you can step off the basketball court after not going through this year in and year out and just play football. From that standpoint, I just don't think it's possible. You have to weather and condition your body to take this punishment."

-- Browns defensive tackle Shaun Rogers on LeBron James not being able to play in the NFL

"Everyone trust me Lebron James could not play in the NFL! ESPN is crazy to even think he could even make a practice squad. He's a 4.9 40 time"

-- Saints tight end Jeremy Shockey(Twitter)

"It's like watching Steve Urkel give Chuck Liddell a wedgie when he's not looking. It's chicken."

-- FOX analyst Michael Strahan on the disturbing trend of quarterbacks hitting defenders with dirty hits

sorry, first quote is re: roy williams

color me shocked that roy williams is scared of contact

Oakland at Dallas* - i don't know about you guys but while i am picking dallas, i still feel like oakland has a real shot
NY Giants* at Denver - denver is toast imo
Indianapolis* at Houston - indy will lose, maybe this week, but probably not
Washington at Philadelphia* - philly is gonna back into the playoffs
Carolina* at NY Jets - jets suck
Chicago at Minnesota* - bears suck
Seattle* at St. Louis - st louis sucks most of all
Arizona* at Tennessee - arizona is so dead when kurt warner retires
Cleveland at Cincinnati* - cleveland has had their win
Miami* at Buffalo - almost picked buffalo because of homefield but i think miami is take this one
Tampa Bay at Atlanta* - i hope atlanta makes the playoffs but it's looking grim. they'll win this one at least.
Kansas City at San Diego* - FUCK. FUCK. FUCK.
Jacksonville* at San Francisco - jax isn't really good but an alex smith-led team looks worse

New England at New Orleans* - nola b/c of homefield

oakland def has a shot but i could not in good conscience pick them on thanksgiving in the terrordrome

I never thought I would ever feel bad for Jay Cutler:

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/24/sports/football/24fast.html

But Dilfer said that any quarterback playing in Denver last year, behind the game’s best offensive line, with Brandon Stokley and Eddie Royal to catch the ball

i think you might be forgetting someone...

Also:

Gradkowski’s two touchdown passes in the game equaled Russell’s season total.

I did not realize this!

i like the idea that chicago's offense is "antiquated." is it like the model t of offenses?

Man, I really want to see Dennis Dixon start for Pittsburgh. I love that guy.

more like model re - as in tard

dennis dixon is awesome, will probably suck in the nfl cuz they'll make him into a drop back passer - they should let him and mendenhall play off each other - mendenhall played with a mobile qb in college - steelers could be good if dixon ran around a bit - hines out there throwing blocks

Dennis Dixon is one of the players that I really hoped the Chargers would draft even though I knew that they had no room for him or need for him. Pat White was another one of those guys.

Green Bay at Detroit → Packers
Oakland at Dallas → Cowpokes
NY Giants at Denver → G-men

Pittsburgh at Baltimore → Stillers (may not be a sure thing if Polamalu remains out, tho.)
New England at New Orleans → Saints

12-4 last week, 109-51 on the year

I’m going on the limb this week on some stuff, so I am either going to clean it up or get romped.

Green Bay at Detroit- The Pack lost two defensive starters in their win last week. I’d like to take a stretch and give the Lions an upset, which could happen, but Stafford is coming off injury on a short week. I’m taking the Packers banged up and all while hoping for a decent game.
Oakland at Dallas- I’ve got to think that the Cowboys will kind of figure it out and that the Raiders won’t. I’ll take Dallas, but the Raiders are measurably better by just having someone other than Russell playing QB. If it is low scoring, Dallas could get knocked off. I don’t think it will happen that way, Cowboys it is.
NY Giants at Denver- I’m not sold to high on either of these clubs right now. I’m taking the Giants, as they actually seem to play a bit better on the road and the Broncos defense was patched up by a bunch of dudes in their 30s and I think they are starting to wear down.
Indianapolis at Houston- I’m going to probably be wrong, but I am going to take Houston in a big upset. Odds say that the Colts should walk away on this one, but they have been walking the line on losing a game for a month and Houston keeps barely losing. Texans need to not have the game come down to someone named Chris/Kris Brown in a key point.
Washington at Philadelphia- Washington’s defense is playoff caliber, but they are pretty decimated now at running back. The Eagles maybe have figured a way to get around some of their short yardage problems by going with Vick in a spread. Eagles it is.
Carolina at NY Jets- The Panthers have been a bit improved over the past month and the Jets are kind of a mess. I have no idea who to take in this game really, so I am going with the Panthers in a road upset.
Chicago at Minnesota- The Bears didn’t really change the offense even though they have a different QB, it looks to be the same screen left/screen right and try a bomb deal. Considering their run game has been a bit lame, I’d be trying some different stuff, but then again this isn’t really the Bears deal. It would take the Vikings playing really fugly to lose this one and I just don’t see it happening.
Seattle at St. Louis- Boy these two clubs suck now…I guess Seahawks by not much. Rams could win but they have to prove it to me.
Arizona at Tennessee- Tough game to pick. I’m riding the Titans, as the Cardinals are due for a road duffer.
Cleveland at Cincinnati- These games are usually closer than you would figure and have busted out of nowhere into some high scoring affairs. The Bengals ran a completely hilarious conservative offense last week, they didn’t take a shot all day against the Raiders who didn’t really put up a huge pass rush. They flubbed around, had a couple of fumbles and missed a field goal and just never put them away. I don’t get it, you got Carson Palmer and some good receivers, watch some Colts or Pats film and pickup a few tricks on how to put teams down for the count. The Raiders are not coming back from a couple of TDs down, you leave them within a score you open yourself up for the stupid junk that happened. Don’t be a Schottenheimer who would do the same damn thing even though he had Joe freaking Montana at one point. I’ll take the Bengals but hopefully they learned something last week.
Miami at Buffalo- Dolphins are decent and should pick up another win. It sux that Ronnie Brown went down.
Tampa Bay at Atlanta- If the Falcones were playing someone else, they would probably lose. I’ll take the ATL to hold up against the Bucs which are terrible and starting to flame out even worse.
Kansas City at San Diego- Is KC improving? I haven’t seen them play to be able to say. SD seems to have it working, so they should win this one.
Jacksonville at San Francisco- SF is hard to figure, decent pieces but it isn’t all there yet. J-ville has quietly done the job against lesser opponents and wormed their way into the playoff hunt. I’ll take the Jaguars but this will be low and tight scoring enough I could see the Niners hanging around or winning.
Pittsburgh at Baltimore- The Ravens just couldn’t quite put it together last week. Everyone is down on the Colts, but their defense does seem to make the play when needed. Steelers are not quite right. I’m taking Baltimore in a slight stretch.
New England at New Orleans- I want to take the Saints, but I will have to see them win before I pick them in a game like this one. NE it is.

Last week 14-2 (Steelers and Bengals flopping cost me), 110-50 for the season.

Green Bay at Detroit - pack
Oakland at Dallas - RAIDERZ sack the cowboy terrordome
NY Giants at Denver - denver
Indianapolis at Houston - HOUSTON
Washington at Philadelphia - philly ;_;
Carolina at NY Jets - JAKE. DELHOMME. C MON MAN
Chicago at Minnesota - BEARZ
Seattle at St. Louis -
Arizona at Tennessee - tennessee
Cleveland at Cincinnati - cincy
Miami at Buffalo - miami dolphins, miami dolphins, miami dolphins #1
Tampa Bay at Atlanta - falcons
Kansas City at San Diego - chargers
Jacksonville at San Francisco - jax
Pittsburgh at Baltimore - bmore
New England at New Orleans - NEW ENGLAND

lol

Jon Runyan back in the league! Like that enormous guy.

my 5 y/o saw the chargers helmets and instantly decided that they are soooo cool. i told him nah, you like the broncos right? remember miles (mascot) gave you a ball and a t shirt? he insisted no, chargers. then i sang the super chargers disco song. now...he goes around singing SUPAHCHAHJAHS! all the time. his team. :/

the chargers teletubbies video has been disappeared from the interwebs

WHY

i mean, was someone @ san diego organization like, hey, what we really want is for content that makes people entertained by our team to GO AWAY

Ugh, that sucks! That video was amazing.

i don't know what happened, but yeah. in general i don't understand organizations thinking like, please, what we want for you to do is NOT share and appreciate our content

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoKAcVL_phI

^^^ search for chargers teletubbies is fail.. and then there's this!

Texans need to not have the game come down to someone named Chris/Kris Brown in a key point.

lol @ this segment on sportscenter...cut together basically 4 losses due to 1 or the other. brian kenny is like 'you cant do that, combining 2 chris browns' and jay harris is all 'you like this right?' and BK is all NO!

WAY too many coin flips this week.

GB > DET
DAL > OAK
NYG > DEN
ATL > TUBERCULOSIS
MIA > BUF
CIN > CLE
STL > SEA
JETS > CAR (suck vs. suck, might as well pick the home team. I watched a little of the Carolina game last week and Del Homey and the whole CAR offense looked SO BAD. Receivers shambling through routes, Del Homey trying to break his receivers ankles with the football.)
PHI > WAS
IND > HOU
SD > KC
SF > JAX
TN > AZ
MINN > CHI
PITT > BAL
NO > NE (NE is 1-3 on the road, y'all)

12-4 last week, 112-48 season.

browns beat cincy straight up this week. bet the farm

that's how i lost the farm

pretty dumb of you IMO

aye

Weird things DO happen in Bengals and Browns games, it could happen.

http://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/200709160cle.htm

I thought that Kris/Chris Brown thing was pretty funny. Everybody hates Kris/Chris.

i remember that cincy game like it was yesterday. a great day for planet earth.

http://www.nfl.com/videos/detroit-lions/09000d5d8147c551/Sound-FX-Matthew-Stafford-mic-d-up

this vid has me starting 2 luv stafford

what a dude

love his interactions w/shaun rogers

wow, that kid is hardcore

hahaha, according to my pick'em page, GB has already won against Detroit, 26-0.

Oakland at Dallas - RAIDERZ sack the cowboy terrordome

defend this outrageous claim

That's my call too. I defend it with a four-letter word:

HOPE

i wanna believe but c'mon

it's not totally crazy--cowboys offense has looked atrocious for two weeks and raiders defense can give anyone a game if they're feeling inspired. also jamarcus russell will hopefully not take the field so there's that

yeah witten may not play, right? also i think oak's secondary is startin 2 do some things - tvyon branch was all over the field vs cincy

Dolphins v. Bills scares me, tbh. A winnable game for us (Miami), but . . .

gotta go deal with family in an hour or so, thank god for NFL

LOL packers! niiiiiiiiiiiice

Cowboys have won three straight games on Thanksgiving dating back to ’06 by a combined score of 106-22. (Scheftweet)

haha why do the lions have a guy named "word-daniels"

this is my favorite name:

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/8493

lol

http://ca.sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/7292

phweew, had gb +10.5, was almost nervous, ty matt staff

ok what the fuck is this

lot of punting that 1st Q

shannon sharpe singing the who = best thing about either game today.

yeah, that was surprisingly good (and he quit while he was ahead)

raiders offense is an abomination

>FIRST TIME IN DALLAS TERRITORY<

fuck a chopblock

GO 4 TWO

wait i cant even add, carry on

i was about to say.

i was just excited they scored

lost on LA to cover, won on the under 40pts

oh they DO NOT have matt millen doing color on this game

omg, completely forgot there was another game! hopefully this will make up for the fact that all afternoon there was another channel on (my mother really likes watching the godfather movies??!! it was truly bizarre to find that out.)

eli manning wished us all a happy thanksgiving and it was so cute <3

giants dfense is a joek on us all

giants run incompetent screens

gutsy call there mcdaniels

and nfln shows us mcdaniels yelling at his offense, with audio! -> WE'RE TRYING TO WIN THIS MOTHERFUCKING GAME

and just apologized for it. hahaha

awesome apology over mcd potty mouth. highlight of the game so far.

lol FUCK i heard them apologize but i missed the yellin

damn, brandon marshall with the one-handed catch

i was wondering if denver hadn't been playing a lot better back when mcd was keeping his cool more (before the celebration after beating ne maybe?) but hell if he didn't just cuss his offense out and they scored in 3 plays straight after. todd haley must be doing it wrong.

the giants should try 2 win this mf'ing game

there have been a bunch of weird little screwups with this broadcast, like showing a highlight & then you'll see a shot of one of the sideline camera dudes picking up some cables off the turf

TWO mcdaniels vs todd haley yelling matches have yet to take place this season

because heretofore they have not been xp

i have no idea what matt millen has been talking abt this whole game

also, every time i look at denver broncos schedule & see all these games listed as "invesco field at mile high" i keep thinking, really that is barack obama's home stadium

oh, eli. SMH

the giants have modeled their thanksgiving play on the lions, apparently

"thanksgiving gaywaddery" a tribute to the detroit lions performed by the new york giants

is there a rerun of HOUSE on somewhere i can watch

giants are a total and utter mystery to me right now.

also, jabar gaffney runs a real good route

pow, right in the kisser
pow, right in the kisser

dang, matt millen is a really good broadcaster

I just got back from a Thanksgiving in a home with no TVs, so even though this game does not initially appear to be one that is "close" or "interesting" I am going to take it, because I am thankful for football.

PS to my temp-fallen dude J0rdan S., thoughts, prayers, etc.

THEY ARE SURE MENTIONIN THAT RED ZONE CHANNEL A LOT GEE GOLLY

It seems weird that Pat Summerall is still around doing voiceover bumper ads. It just seems like he should be retired all the way by now. Unless it is some sort of Pat Summerall voice robot.

<3 flying dawkins

eli, that was a warning to watch out for flying dawkins!

Kind of loving the Invesco Mile High sad trombone sound.

Man, Giants = turkeys.

denver has called the same outside runs all game long and the giants haven't adjusted for it one bit.

michaelstrahan:
I AGREE 100%. RT @THEREALDJCLUE: @OGOchoCinco the Giants stinking it up !!! They Need pierce and @michaelstrahan back asap

man my megagiantsfan uncle is suffering somethin fierce tonight

he's a nice guy so i'm feelin for him

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16QLrXmArck

lol. Think that rant motivated his players?

Set it to a techno beat like the Christian Bale rant!

NFL WEEK 13: ALL WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS WIN A MOTHERF***ING GAME

thanksgiving dinner awards is outstanding tv. well done nfl network.

what the fuck was all that green shit on the tray, looked like it was covered in bile

ilnfl needs to do a hostile takeover of this network. clearly we could run it more effectively.

i gotta say, millen calls a really good game

they should really shitcan (and then murder) collinsworth and give MM the sunday night gig

did poor mario manningham just get hurt on that last garbage time play?!

yeah, looked like his hand or wrist got fucked up. so STUPID

schef making some predictions of his own:

Adam_Schefter Last time the Giants played a prime-time game in Denver - 9/10/01 - the world changed the next morning forever.
5 minutes ago from UberTwitter

i gotta say, millen calls a really good game

is this sarcasm or?? i only saw a little of the game last night, but millen was just making the same observation about how good run-blocking leads to successful run plays over and over. i was consumed with schef-like "HOW DOES MATT MILLEN HAVE THE RIGHT???????" fury,

I'm with canks if we're just talking millen vs. collinsworth

dead heat imo

hate them both but collinsworth provides marginally better analysis.

But delivered so smarmily.

that's where the hate comes in

millen otoh has submitted a shocking number of non-sequiturs and tortured metaphors on nfln over the last few weeks.

i think as long as you don't have to look at collinsworth's face the smugness is tolerable. he says some good things! also sometimes he complains that no one ever praises tom brady for his arm strength, which is retarded but

Being as someone who followed the Bengals when Chris Collinsworth started as a player and then when he started doing radio at WLW, it's weird that he got as popular as he did on TV and has kept up the gig. Collinsworth kind of followed the same career path as Bob Trumpy, but has had a lot longer time being a main football TV analyst. I honestly like Collinsworth a lot more on games than working on the preview shows, I think he does make some decent analysis of the actual game without getting into histrionics about player personalities.

Collinsworth also didn't go and screw up a club for nearly 10 years as a GM, so he has that going on over Millen.

What other color guy ever worked as a GM at all? He wasn't qualified for that job when he got it in the first place.

Its happened in other sports, but I don't know of any success stories. I know Steve Kerr went from the TV booth to being a GM.

haha i should've added a caveat about how millen being among the best i've heard this year really says more about the competition than anything. but i'd take him in a heartbeat over any of these guys - dierdorf, simms, moose, collinsworth, probably fouts, probably not aikman (who is good but who i end up avoiding a lot because of buck), i cant think of anyone else off the top of my head

i used to think collinsworth was alright but he's really been excrement these past two years. he's HORRIBLE at analyzing line play, and he's too hung up on storylines - he's one of those guys where you can tell he's just too in love with his pregame notes and not interested enough in breaking down the action as it's happening. millen was identifying coverages, fronts and tendencies all night.

that said i think we can all agree that former coaches are the only guys who should be allowed to do color for football games

jon gruden should do every game

i'm not really willing to hold the GM thing against him either, the ford family deserves more of the blame than him imo - they were the ones who were stupid enough to hire him in the first place, and were also the ones too dumb/lazy/indifferent to fire him after his repeated failures. his only crime was being given an opportunity to do a job he was wildly, blatantly unqualified for - that's a different skillset from being a broadcaster though, and if you gave any number of guys (including gruden, who would be a horrible GM for any team) that opportunity you'd get the same results.

i don't disagree but there is still something mildly insulting about it.

billick is the best right now imo

I am not sure whether to post this here or in one of the "Conservatives be Craaaazzzzaaaaay" threads, but, uh: http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2009/11/27/president-obama-joins-nfl-players-thanksgiving-tv-ad

Apparently Obama is trying to extend his socialist tentacles into America's two greatest natural resources: football and obesity.

Also wow Rush Limbaugh has thought about the conspiracy to keep him out of NFL ownership a LOT.

http://i50.tinypic.com/2qswbdc.jpg
PS Daria I think it goes without saying that HatCat (and possibly the crying 9/11 Eagle) will only make that photo more awesome.

wow, some of the comments on that are a treat

Can't wait to See "Christmas in Jakarta with Double O" ...a Harpo production. With special guests Rev Wright & Billy Ayers. Join us as Oprah channels her inner Riefenstahl and presents Obama as bigger than Jesus Christ. You'll hear compelling stories about Obama's upbringing like how his mother thought religion was for weak minded yokels and that the Bible was only good as a historical document.

Obama will even recite the Muslim call to prayer in perfect Arabic accent to reenact his daily childhood ritual. Rev Wright will damn America and the blue eyed devils who've made the world a worse place for everyone who isn't white. While Billy Ayers will talk about why he gave up trying to terrorize America with terroristic bomb attacks and instead decided that indoctinating America's youth was a better way to destroy America from the inside.

I've also heard Soros' name mentioned in all of this BS behind the scenes...Rush mentioned his name as well once when discussing all of this. Soros always stays behind the scenes...nobody makes what they should regarding this evil man and all his spider web connections he has everywhere!

some people. what can you do?

I never get a good read on how much of that is just really bitter sarcasm (like, the Christmas special obviously seems super over-the-top) and how much of that is some random person on the internet legitimately believing that Obama secretly speaks perfect Arabic and that George Soros is spending billions of dollars to destroy America, for Satan. Because like why? That's SO MUCH effort! The Obama-Oprah Christmas special wouldn't even get very good ratings, if they were just going to talk about Islam!

Although I guess if one were to gather things I have said here and elsewhere about Brett Favre, Minnesota Viking quarterback who no longer throws interceptions, I would probably sound like a Freeper in terms of vitriolic hyperbole. Glass houses, stones, etc. Still, Brett Favre ppl are the most disgusting savages in the world imo.

well, he's right about demaurice smith. he was pretty clearly hired for his connections in washington, not his experience with football (none) or labor negotiations (none).

mike tanier on fire today:

San Diego’s victory over Kansas City will be celebrated by a ticker-tape parade, followed by a lengthy, sordid investigation.

The radio station in Jim Zorn’s headset switched to all Christmas carols three weeks ago, but the other National Football Conference East teams can’t afford to go into a yuletide trance. Donovan McNabb will break Ron Jaworski’s record for games played at quarterback for the Eagles on Sunday. Thanks to a combined 283 weeks in purgatory, they each get to go through the express lane at the pearly gates.

Jay Cutler’s passes sail high over all our heads, like weather balloons, differential calculus or “Remembrance of Things Past.” It takes amazing arm strength and a shocking lack of impulse control to overthrow Devin Hester, but Cutler finds a way.

If Brady Quinn starts sparkling on the Ohio sun, it will confirm suspicions that he is one of those “New Moon” vampires: young, handsome, the object of many people’s obsessions, and largely ineffectual.

faklcibs wearing throwbacks SO FUCKING PUMPED AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH

hey why don't we leave desean jackson WIDE OPEN in the end zone? GOOD PLAN

hah, there's a stat for you. for jackson's previous 7 TDs, average was: 64 yards

I'm following it on ESPN. I wish I could actually watch it. :/

cushing picks off peyton, texans lookin great

poor peyty

So is Matt Ryan out?

yup, chris redman is playin

redman's actually made some nice throws fwiw

niiiice throw from jason campbell. ???

okay holy crap ryan fitzpatrick just scored a rushing td

"oh jake delhomme"

and by that i mean done in professional football

hah, peyton INT

:(

what happened to jake delhomme this time?

jake's done, yeah - he's terrified to throw into zone coverage, he cant do anything basically

http://i48.tinypic.com/2qtb7mu.gif

oh, no. yeah at halftime .. i think it was shannon sharpe who said, carolina thinks delhomme gives them the best chance to win? he's going to get cut and his coach fired

bullshit call @ houston

ah here we go. helping out peyton with bogus pass intereference
http://i49.tinypic.com/o9qote.gif

can i admit that i can never tell about pass interference? that looked like it to me, tho /peyton stan

the one on the goal line, yes, the prev one that got them there.. imho not so much

o i didn't see that one

refs have been gently stroking peyton all game tbh

there is so much orange in that clev/cincy game

texans not sure if they want to win this game or not

lol @ skins-eagles game break, in which, waiting for the next play to start, they just stay with one closeup camera shot of a blonde eagles cheerleader. meanwhile the fox robot is at the side of the screen, and instead of doing a dance like usual, robot is just sitting on its ass in a chair with a remote.

Is watching the gamecast of this colts game as frustrating as actually watching it?

Does Philly not know that they actually have to win this game?

my colts gamecast died, then i found another but the person running it is talking constantly

barrett ruud's sportin a really sexy beard

seriously this guy. he's turned off the tv audio and is doing his own commentary talking superduperfast with an accent and swearing up a storm "you need to cover dallas f***ing clark! stop taking that sh!t!!"

havent been watching the game but my dad in the car re: samuel's picks - "hm, washington must not be familiar with the pump fake"

heh. nfc east - kind of sad but mostly lol

dear god this amateur commentator is answering email from his viewers and it is foul. really foul.

poor Houston (not)

oh donovan

mcnabb INT
GO SKINS

i was bummed that this redskins game was on TV, but it's been a pretty good game! sucks my gamecasts keep dropping like flies, too.

bummed about houston. i mean, cmon man, you need to run up at least 30 points on indy to not blow it

this is going to be another one of those weeks, isnt it

story of this season appears to be THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU GIVE FRED JACKSON THE DAMN BALL

MAC ATTACK!

jake, please start a new career as a sportscaster and do commentary on all sunday night games, that would be excellent

redskins trying to lose this f***ing game

Also what happens when you throw the ball to TO.

Wait. Philly kicked off first kick onsides? WHY??

yeah my dad and i just laughed/smh'd when we heard that on the radio

notice in the bojangles commercial with delhomme and steve smith, it shows them BOTH throwing that football, because one of these guys actually couldn't hit the broad side of a barn

Whew. Nail-biter.

YEEAAAHHH

*HI 5s MORDY*

WTF roughing the passer! COME ON

just bodyslammed campbell on that play! what in the hell!

:/ My sympathies. Redskins are the only team in NFC East I don't hate.

(I mean, besides my own, obv.)

*IS LEFT HANGIN*

still, i can't believe campbell didn't decide to just take off and run on that play. it was ONE YARD. so frustrating.

daria did u see this gif i posted in the delhomme thread http://xerol.org/h/v/1548/shed.gif

aw matt ryan is so cuet, smiling on the sideline

Any chance Cooley is coming back before the season ends?

RODDDDDDDDYYYYYY

Bah, Favre/Chicago + SD/KC. No Titans game.

i did see that gif! NOW i get it. i'm a little slow on the uptake right

haha no i had to look at it for a minute before it clicked with me either - just thought it was an incomplete gif at first

no tennessee here either. inexplicably, my other game is jax/sf? who cares about these teams here? nobody! guess i'm watching bearz/favres

Lame.

jake looks so happy to be in that ad <3

i really think robert sean leonard went out and got the same haircut as jake delhomme on purpose?

did you guys hear buck making some bitchy comment about how troy aikman's head is bigger than his in the "here are your fox anchors" graphic? first of all, sir, it could just be a realistic rendering - he is 4x the size of you.

ha that's exactly what i thought. also why would joe buck want to draw attention to how much he sucks compared to aikman?

U guyze Eggerin James is 10th all time in rushing??

"WELL YOU CAN TELL WHO IS MORE IMPORTANT TO FOX" well, joe, we could tell that just by listening to you guys.

ya and fred taylor is 15th

xp

one of our commentators is a 3x super bowl winner and a generally beloved figure in the nfl community. the other is joe buck.

i'm pretty sure robert sean leonard just got his haircut in 1995 (the era of the buttcut) and just decided it would be his totemic power symbol a la donald trump and his unchanging hair

http://i50.tinypic.com/1zgreyq.png

remember when peyton went out of his way to dis joe buck vis-a-vis aikman in his interview with bob costas on football night in america? <3

can't wait for the delhomme joke on house

that's such a sad comic

OKAY I KNOW BRETT FAVRE HAD AN 88% COMPLETION RATE LAST WEEK GAH SHUT UP

ugh the bears look awful

xpost it was against seattle, it's like kind of like braggin about how your dog can beat up a kitten

haha brett favre sacks are still pretty funny

afalava'd

welp

haha beat me to the punch

Crabtree is the truth imo

brad childress gives me the creeps

he has a v unsavory face, yes

@SI_JimTrotter the more i watch leinart, the more i'm embarrassed to say i thought he could be special coming out of college.

let's be fair to jay cutler, but first let's show all the CUTLER SUCKS headlines from chicago papers

Beautiful TD throws by Cutler and Rivers.

that "jay cutler tarnished beyond repair" headline was a weird choice of words, made him sound like a virgin sacrifice or something

touchdown pass by cutler! his 16th as a bear.. to go with his one million picks

Okay, Rivers throw is down at the 1, but still: 60 yard bomb.

http://i49.tinypic.com/2lca44x.jpg

oh, the drama

professional sports -> soap opera for guys

yeah, pretty much! actually i always thought of it as reality tv for dudes

"U guyze Eggerin James is 10th all time in rushing??"

Edge led the NFL twice in rushing and went over 1500 four times. He was pretty good in his prime. James also missed at least a season worth of games while in Indy. I think him getting hurt caused the Colts to spiral in Jim Mora's last year. After James got hurt, Manning turned into an interception factory trying to throw them to victory and they hit the dirt. James doesn't get hurt that year, the whole story of the Colts might have turned out very different and there might not have been that classic Mora "Playoffs? Playoffs? I just want to win another game." quote might never have happened.

Marvin Lewis has put the shackles on to the Bengals offense. While the Bengals are having success running the ball, if their offense is now so conservative it is making the old Ravens look like a run and shoot club.

Houston is just not ready to win. I don't get it, as they got the tools, but those fools just give away games all the time. This wasn't quite as bad as Roselfels completely giving a win to Indy last year, but it is pretty lame.

damn does that mean he's a hall of famer?

idk what hall of famer even means in the nfl, mcnabb's probably a hall of famer ffs

McNabb is definitely a Hall of Famer

Sportswriters need something to talk about, but to put the whole debacle at Jay Cutler's feet is disingenuous. If Charlie Weis is available, I'd really like to see what he could do with Cutler and the tools the Bears offense would have. Pretty much every overrated ND guy ends up with the Bears at some point would be a bonus. Mike Martz has also said he would be interested in working with Cutler and the Bears. Martz is totally nuts, but I'd let him be the offensive coordinator provided Lovie would be allowed to run the ball when it is time to eat clock.

for fuck's sake chicago

"tarnished beyond repair" is also a bad mixed metaphor i think. if something is tarnished, you dont repair it, you polish it

Niners in not-looking-shitty-at-all shocker today!

Alex Smith is having a nice little game so far.

Sorry Joe Buck, I think the Bears need to beef up their O-Line much more than the skills positions. Bennett, Hester, Knox and Olsen is not a bad receiving corps. Chicago needs to be able to run the ball and keep Cutler from getting clocked. If they could find a vet with really good hands, that would be OK, but I think the biggest problem is their leaky aging line and the penalties they generate.

i dont really think of edge as a future hofer, but he's probably a borderline case. i think the gap between hof-quality backs and hof quality receivers in this decade is pretty interesting - ldt and marshall faulk are the only surefire backs imo, but with receivers you have guys like moss, t.o., bruce, harrison who all probably deserve to get in, not to mention borderline guys like jimmy smith, reggie wayne, hines ward, torry holt etc

Crap.

1,000,001 interceptions

as for mcnabb... i dunno, you might as well let in chad pennington if you think mcnabb's a hall of famer

Hines Ward should get in for his smiley face.

how old is reggie wayne? i think he could be a contender

McNabb is hall of very good imo

wayne's 31 - and yeah, i agree! he really took over as the #1 guy in Indy a few years before harrison even retired

Weirdly, while this whole discussion was coming out of Edge becoming the 10th leading rusher of all time, Torry Holt just became the 10th leading receiver of all time.

i used to think of holt as a lock, but he isn't aging as gracefully as isaac bruce did and the insane receiving numbers of the past 15 years mean that either a shitload of receivers are getting in (and frankly i'd be fine with not admitting any skill position guys for a few years), or that the standards for a hof receiver in this era are going to be insanely high

HE WENT TO JARED

lol

I don't think Holt, Smith, or Wayne are hall of famers. Very good players, of course.

I think Edge and LT will get into the Hall, but eventually I think the demarcation line is going to be getting past Jim Brown in the all time rushing stats.

McNabb has won a heck of a lot more games than Pennington, including a couple of times pulling off some crazy stuff in the playoffs (like that big upset over the Packers including that insane 4th & 26 play). I think McNabb's Hall status is tied to how the Eagles play out over the rest of his career. People are going to talk about coming up sick in the superbowl, but McNabb WAS the offense for a good long time for the Eagles.

Reggie Wayne has a wacky stat of being the only receiver to have his receptions improve his first 7 years in the NFL. Being a bigger guy and less injury prone (knock wood), I could see him playing for another four or five years. I think the biggest thing that would cement a bid to the Hall for this guy is the Colts winning another Superbowl.

OK the only way I could grow to like Jared Allen is if in the middle of mall jewelry commercials he showed up and started yelling insane shit about being a primal warrior.

Joey Galloway has the 22nd-most touchdown receptions in NFL history, tied with Hines Ward.

do you guys think the vikings are going to the super bowl? ;_;

Joey Galloway is an underrated and good receiver who is still playing at age 38, but Hines Ward is a Steeler with two Superbowl rings, a Superbowl MVP and is pretty much known as the nastiest blocking wide out of his time. I think with Ward, hall voters are going to take in the kind of offense he played upon and they love the fact that the dude has pancaked a hundred guys or so in the run game as a blocker.

Does the NFL HOF Committee have the same tendency towards giving extra points to media-friendly guys (and negative points to surly dicks) that the MLB HOF does? Cause I could kind of see Hines Ward getting in just on being very good AND on consistently leading the league in smiles, whereas Marvin Harrison might have to overcome the barrier of being silent and creepy.

I think with Ward, hall voters are going to take in the kind of offense he played upon and they love the fact that the dude has pancaked a hundred guys or so in the run game as a blocker.

Yeah, I think Ward's reputation as a blocker / gamer will make him a sure thing with the voters.

He's the Brett Favre of receivers, always havin' fun.

LDT just scored a touchdown and then started to celebrate, but his heart wasn't in it so he stopped and walked away.

i just think mcnabb gets extra credit for being the star player on such a high profile team - but for the bulk of his career i dont think he's been more valuable than say steve mcnair (who everyone seems to agree is in the very good but not quite hof category) or drew bledsoe

wayne is a guy who i expect to produce into his mid-late 30s, and his candidacy will probably be predicated on that kind of long-term production

The only way I will be OK with a Vikings Super Bowl is if Favre cannot play in it and Tarvaris Jackson has to play. Ideally also Jared Allen will be unable to play as well, but if I see Favre holding up the Championship trophy and the Super Bowl MVP trophy I will probably have an existential crisis, because what kind of world would do such a horrible thing?

I think for the receivers, it is all going to go with the guys that were on the clubs that won it all. Chris Carter and Andre Reed are still not in the hall of fame and there is no doubt that both of them were among the best of their time. It took them forever to put Art Monk in the hall and he was on a club that won 3 Superbowls. Tim Brown is not in and that guy was very solid for a long, long time and was a killer returner when he first started.

I would bet money the voters are also going to fxxk with both Randy Moss and especially Terrell Owens on getting into the hall. There are going to be some voters that are just going to plain not vote for either one of those guys no matter how many catches they get on their football card. Moss going to NE has kind of washed over a bit of his bad news from Minnesota and the Raiders, but all that crap that T.O. is going to really weigh down his votes. You can't argue on the results, but neither of them will get in first year and I got a feeling T.O. is going to have to wait for a good while.

wow i did not realize the sd-kc score was 35-7

tim brown only becomes eligible this year iirc (same w/jerry rice) - it's insane how long that guy played and produced

Cris Carter should definitely be in the HOF.

dr. z has gone on record as saying moss will never get a vote for him, but unforch z probably isnt too long for this world anyway :/

so should andre reed! >:[

xpost

As for Owens and Moss, their numbers are just unreal. No way they stay out, although I could see them missing the first year out of spite.

cris carter should be in; art monk shouldnt and his inclusion is one of the biggest disgraces in the history of the hall. but at the same time, they basically got to a point where they had to let him in because he was creating a logjam and blocking more important candidates every year.

chris carter should be in on the strength of the first season of the x-files alone

canks I agree on Monk.

Yeah, Andre Reed should probably be in. Top 11 in TDs, receptions, and yards.

Chris Johnson did it again.

andre reed is also dreamy

85 yard TD, btw.

And then a return 98-y TD off the kick for Arizona.

Welp Arizona didn't take long responding.

Hey Chicago almost got one too.

@OGOchoCinco We have swept the division, first time in history, awesome...

Dudes, I'm so happy for the Bengals this year.

wow that chi line looks gb-esque. that could almost make you feel sorry for a cutler

disgraceful

Ugh Chicago starts at the 8 yard line and can't get a TD.

i look forward to a new week of profane todd haley .gifs

Chris Johnson is third player in NFL history to rush for at least 125 yards in six straight games. He joins Earl Campbell and Eric Dickerson.

i assume fox robot over-ate this weekend?

wait, why is leinart playing? i missed something obvs

warner got hurt last week, i think

Warner is post-concussion.

What is with Peterson this game??

Adrian Peterson is so sloppy with the ball.

That is why he was a great pick in the I Hate NFL league.

ESPNews just showed a stat saying that the Bengals have had five wins in the past decade with less than 100 yards passing, four of which are against the Browns, including today. Although none of those four was as ridiculous as a win against Denver in 2000 where they passed for 14 yards.

The 49ers defense is playing really well.

Hey that was the game where Corey Dillon ran for 278 yds! http://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/200010220cin.htm

LOL @ Akili Smith

This Arizona/Tennessee game is pretty sweet.

yeah, i'm watching that too now, it is fun

i'm watching this instead of football

LDT with a goal-line fumble, oy.

"art monk shouldnt and his inclusion is one of the biggest disgraces in the history of the hall"

I've got to disagree with you there. Monk definitely was one of the best receivers of the 80s. I think the gaudy passing stats that receivers put up in the 90s kind of obscures how good the guy really was. It's a crock that only one of the Hogs is in the Hall too. Some of the guys that were really good in the 70s and early to mid 80s seem to have gotten lost in the numbers crunch like guys like Stanley Morgan, Issac Curtis, Drew Pearson and Harold Carmichael. Those guys all went to bunch of Probowls, but their career stats look pretty small compared to the current guys. Of course, players play into their late 30s now, where that just didn't happen much until the 90s. Monk's career kind of spits between the end of the old numbers and the beginning of when the passing stats took off. The guy was a machine for a few years there. Monk wasn't really fast, but he was big like the current type wide-out and had great hands. I always thought Art Monk was pretty good and was great during the best years of those Redskins clubs.

This is a pretty wild chart to check out, look at the single-season recieving yards leaders. Most of these big number years is from the late 80s onward. I'm going to look it up, but they changed the rules on DBs being able to hit the wideouts a couple of times in the past 20 years and I bet it ties up when the passing yards exploded.

http://www.pro-football-reference.com/leaders/rec_yds_single_season.htm

Reed and Carter should both be in by now too, as they were along with Rice some of the best of their time. Chris Carter had the best hands of any guy I ever saw play. If he could get his mitts on the ball, it was caught.

Irving Fryar was really good for a long time, but I think he got into a bit too much problem off the field and doesn't have the Superbowl wins like Irvin to get him over. Fryar was a really good return guy when he first got in the NFL out of Nebraska.

Hahaha Prince is watching the Vikings games from a luxury box, disaffectedly.

ugh @ this titans player fumbling

tennessee! smh

How is Leinart looking being the QB for the Cards? That game is not on around here. The stats line looks OK.

hard to overestimate how much washington loves art monk, the fanbase here was freaking the f out every time he didn't get voted in.

So what exactly is the deal with Vince Young? Didn't he quit football at some point?

it is like princesmh.gif showed up at the stadium - why is he so upset, his team is winning?

maybe he finds brad childress distasteful

wau tennessee

Wow Titans just got super lucky on that pass.

I like to think that face is how Prince registers "Our offense is looking really strong this year, I think we have a chance to win the Super Bowl."

i was gonna say--what is princes "happy" face

http://www.rotorob.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/brad_childress.jpg

Brad Childress definitely has that "guy with dark secrets" thing like Kelsey Grammer.

haha if you put this picture next to an article w/ the headline "FIVE BODIES DISCOVERED IN SUBURBAN MANS BASEMENT neighbors say accused murderer was friendly, religious" you wouldnt think twice would you

I'm not sure why you would keep Petersen in up 20 in a club that is not coming back in the 4th.

I'd save it for next week and the stretch run. Heck I'd be running up the 3rd string guy to keep Taylor from getting hurt.

Oh my god. This game.

You know if they did find bodies buried in the Childress back yard, they would get Kelsey Grammer to play him in the TV movie. Add the stache and it would be perfect casting.

I did not see the Vince Young redemption coming at all. I am pretty stoked about it, though.

has chicago even had the ball in the second half? every time i switch back to that, vikings have the ball & favre is throwing it downfield/having fun/acting like a big kid etc

Maybe Chicago figured its defense gave it the best chance to score points.

Hahaha now Titans-Cardinals is Super Bowl 34 AND the 2006 National Championship.

omfg

HOLY SHIT

JESUS CHRIST THE TENNESSEE TITANS

holy shit!!!! OMG

UNREAL

what happened

wow that catch

VINCE YOUNG JUST WINS FOOTBALL GAMES

i kinda feel like aikman is subtly negging the vikings nonstop this game? is anyone else getting that? the 15 minute long "not that i'm trying to JINX anyone, but guys brett favre is a dick" speech, then when buck tried to say that the vikings had a better d than the saints aikman was like "oh well you don't even know how the saints are so much better at d right now!" then he just interjected out of the blue that he doesn't know why everyone's assuming homefield is entirely down to the vikes and the saints cos "it's not like the vikings can't just lose a bunch of games anyway" basically??

i'm the only one of us stuck with this game, aren't i?

vince young, you're the best!!!!! THAT GAME

For a second there when Young broke out of the pocket before he threw it I thought he was gonna try to run it in and I got so excited. Vince Young!

fuck that throw did not look catchable going in

lol leinhart

goddamnit i just realized i probably wasn't but SOMEONE didn't actually switch the channels to check when kc-sd ended >:[

i'm stuck with it, but it was making me hate myself for watching so i found tn/az game on the interwebs.

well y'all watched something amazing happened but i learned that troy aikman's dark secret is his hatred of brett favre so we've all won today.

I am at a bar where Vikings-Bears is on the big TV with sound, and where Titans-Cardinals was on a smaller TV with closed captioning. I was trying not to think about the Vikings-Bears too much because basically SMH, but yeah Aikman cutting them down has made it a little easier.

hatred of brett favre should be neither dark nor a secret imho

you'd think that aikman would like the vikings better since they actually literally created the '90s dallas cowboys all by themselves.

Wow on Vince Young! He should be comeback player of the year. That dude was toast. I'm glad to see him get it together.

oh god there are STILL almost six minutes of gametime here?

i didn't watch nfl during the whole 90's dallas cowboys thing. i've always hated them and wanted them to fail, so when i've been watching, they always have.

just saw the highlight - that's amazing

I think Aikman probably would have liked to have played longer, if it hadn't been for the concussions, and watching Favre doing well at age 40 is pissing him off, and making him secretly wish for Favre to get concussed, and have to spend the rest of his adult life in a tiny room sitting next to Joe Buck.

Jesus Christ the Bears have TWO yards in the second half? Goddammit.

Joe Buck is getting a bunch of static finally both for football and baseball these days. You have to wonder how much longer he has as the #1 guy. The guy will be an announcer until he dies, as any of these guys who were the #1 guy for one of the networks.

truth bomb, rodney harrison: nfc east is the most overrated division in football

jesus christ NBC is pushing the shit out of the blind side on "football night in america" constantly.

i know, right? why don't they make a movie about the 90's dallas cowboys, in which everyone behaves horribly and non-inspirationally off the field, and then the moral of the story is, they win several championships

re: buck, i feel like he always got a lot of shit as a baseball announcer - but he got greedy and went for two sports which is why people are now basically hoping he dies in a fire.

xpost isn't that "any given sunday"?

i mean i have no beef with michael oher, but that's the thing, all the promotions and talk about this film sound more than a little bit uh.. patronizing to me, and i heard recently that he wasn't all that thrilled with the fact that they made a movie, he just wants to play football.

the 90s dallas cowboys basically killed all my childhood dreams by embarrassing the bills in two super bowls straight but i still find troy aikman more likable than brett favre.

xpost is it? i haven't seen 'any given sunday,' only saw the hole music video for the terrible cheesy song they did for the film, in which courtney love is running around with blue hair, half clothed, on a football field, in the rain, and starts making out with some of the players. it's really awful. i love her anyway.

wait which hole song is that?

'be a man'
it's ridiculous and terrible

yeah wow wait!!! that sounds amazing

perhaps intentionally ridiculous and terrible

I'm going to look it up, but they changed the rules on DBs being able to hit the wideouts a couple of times in the past 20 years and I bet it ties up when the passing yards exploded.

http://www.pro-football-reference.com/leaders/rec_yds_single_season.htm

Reed and Carter should both be in by now too, as they were along with Rice some of the best of their time. Chris Carter had the best hands of any guy I ever saw play. If he could get his mitts on the ball, it was caught.

Irving Fryar was really good for a long time, but I think he got into a bit too much problem off the field and doesn't have the Superbowl wins like Irvin to get him over. Fryar was a really good return guy when he first got in the NFL out of Nebraska.

he was a lil before my time so i should probably defer to you somewhat, but do you really think he belongs in the same hall as charlie joiner and steve largent? those guys played in the same era (earlier, even) and had much better numbers, monk always seemed to me like a guy who just stuck around forever. i agree that guys should be judged in the context of when they played, but even taking that into account he doesnt seem to stand out much. i also agree with you that the hogs probably deserve better representation in there...

LOL

ahahha prince

bob costas is hitting on hines ward rn

Charlie Joiner's career arc is much more like your modern receiver, as he had an amazingly long career for his time playing until he was 39. Joiner was a total good hands, good route receiver when with the Chargers paired with a #1 who was a deep threat like John Jefferson and later Wes Chandler, who were the deep threat guys. The Chargers also had maybe the first modern style TE in Winslow and would also throw a bit to their backs, more than some of the other clubs of the time. You also have to consider that Joiner played for a long time with Fouts, who was one of the few QBs that was putting up numbers that look like guys who play now.

Steve Largent left football he was the alltime leading receiver. He was also someone who never got on the field with the Cowboys. He stayed healthy and was the main. He was a dude.

I'd say Monk was up with both of those guys. He was bigger than either one. Kind of like Joiner, the Redskins generally had a 2nd reciever that was more of the deep treats with Charlie Brown and later on Gary Clark. Monk was the guy though when they needed a first down or close to the end zone. Monk caught 100 balls when that was a freaky thing to do.

Another dude that gets forgotten is Cliff Branch. That dude along with the Marks brothers in Miami were killer in the deep passing game.

More I think about it, the biggest change with passing was the whole Niners style passing game from bill Walsh. Clubs used to throw deep a heck of a lot more. Look up guy like Stanley Morgan, that guy's career receiving average is close to 20 yards a catch! He did that with Steve Grogan maybe throwing for a bit over 2000 yards for a season. It was much more all or nothing in the pass game unless you had a guy like Largent or Biletnikoff who could run routes and still get open and make a catch with Mel Blount or Mike Haynes hanging all over them.

I hope Dennis Dixon has a dope game tonight.

truth bomb, rodney harrison: nfc east is the most overrated division in football

― yeah, whatever (daria-g), Sunday, November 29, 2009 7:29 PM (24 minutes ago)

not really, everyone knows all three teams are hella flawed. the cowboys are 8-3 and they're not even good really

ricky sanders @ redskins as well. monk/clark/sanders, late 80's early 90's

it's like residual overrating from before the season. all four of those teams are hella hyped every year no matter what

i have this denial about it k3vin, it's like i watch all these teams and i know they are bad, but those other divisions just aren't as.. important.

er wow they're 9-2 now aint they? xp to myself

xp yeah a truer proclamation would be "most disappointing division"

FYI, I was wrong...none of the HOGS have been put into the hall of fame. Russ Grimm was a finalist but didn't make it last year. I'd think him and Joe Jacoby should be considered. Jacoby was a freak of nature for the time, just an absolutely enormous tackle. Those guys were all big for the time and kind of led to the huge lines you see today.

I disagree about the NFC East. Look at the standings and tell me how many divisions are definitively better? AFC North is the only one that really stands out as being better imo.

wow, Hines Ward, you just fucked up

wow steelers drama, hines ward says guys are 50/50 in the locker room re: should rofflesberger play in this game, kind of shrugs off the whole concussion thing and says he's played through them. harrison and dungy are shocked that ward is questioning the qb.

yeah wtf @ hines?

wow @ rodney, dan, and dungy all making the creepiest frozen faces waiting for the camera that was already on them

Hines Ward, I no like-a u anymore.

hines ward is a douchebag and always has been

i don't know re: ward. i mean, i enjoy making fun of ben roffles sometimes, but i seem to recall they've won a couple super bowls with him, and a lot of games when the o-line wasn't all that & he was constantly getting hit out there? there is life after NFL and some of these guys might actually need to use their brains, in the future

yeah also remember how they had to reconstruct the guy's entire head out of papier mache and bubblegum so maybe cut him some slack? and tell your o-line to go fuck themselves considering they had to go to their 3rd qb last week due to qb injury?

Charlie Joiner's career arc is much more like your modern receiver, as he had an amazingly long career for his time playing until he was 39. Joiner was a total good hands, good route receiver when with the Chargers paired with a #1 who was a deep threat like John Jefferson and later Wes Chandler, who were the deep threat guys.

i guess we'll have to agree to disagree re: monk. I just don't see anything in his career that compares to what, say, Lance Alworth did for the Gillman Chargers in the 60s. you make a good point about the evolution of the short passing game though, it's another reason why certain records like Blanda's 42-INT season will never be broken. on that note, i was also gonna point out how miniscule monk's career ypc is... i'd have to check, but i dont think there's another hall of famer who has a ypc under 15 yards, let alone in the 13.5 range like monk.

AFC South has been the most competitive division the past two years. Houston would have make the playoffs last year but they can't beat the teams in their division, went 8-8 and 2-4 in division while being in the basement. You definitely not want to play them or the Titans compared to pretty much any other division basement club this year.

I think the NFC West really is the weak division and has been for years. There is generally one club, now being the Cards before it was the Seahawks that really a playoff contender, then everyone else is pretty weak.

AFC West was pretty bad last year when the Chargers won the division going 8-8, but I think them and the Broncos are a bit better. They do have two terrible clubs in KC and Oakland.

Hines Ward has always been a bit of a douchebag, but he is a Steeler so it doesn't stick. After winning the SB, he pretty much called out Dungy and Manning as being losers who would always be losers as they weren't 'tough' or something like that. Of course they won it all eventually, but that was something that stuck with me.

neat overhead view of the field a few minutes ago. it really is a nice view driving on 95 through baltimore past the waterfront and the stadium.

yeah i love that drive!

Dungy had his eyes open wide, lurched to his left, licked his lips in a creepy way, and then lurched back to the right. It was amazing.

OMG WANT .GIF OF THIS RIGHT NOW!!!!

shirts with random triangles

lol i think of u when i see that ad, ade

Dixon looking alright now. You got to like the guy in his family sporting the 'we are family' Pirates hat.

good job getting him some simple throws off the running game

The Ravens D is pretty good and in stretches are very good, but they don't pressure quite like they did even last year.

haha ray lewis and phil collins again

i hear that tv's hatcat makes a cameo in the blind side movie

WE JUST HEARD THIS STORY CRIS JESUS CHRIST

hey have any of you heard of this movie, the blind side?

no! could u tell me abt it!

peyton manning plays himself in it, i think

I hope that Titans/Colts game is on TV around here next week. I really want to see that one.

Crap the Bengals play the Lions at 1pm, so it probably won't be.

is that a joke or are you in an area that will show that game

CBS will show the Colts or sometimes the Titans game if it doesn't go up against the Bengals. The Bengals are the home team around here, so all of their games get precedent on TV.

I do think the Titans winning 5 straight with the re-emergence of Vince Young and the best RB in the game going against an 11-0 Colts team is a good match-up.

yes it is a fabulous matchup

Bengals/Lions isn't sold out, as they are advertising pretty heavy to sell tickets (first year in quite a few Cincy are not completely sold out for the season). The Bengals or some local company has been buying up whatever is left to keep them from getting blacked out on TV.

all phil collins all the time

Why of all years do the Bengals not sell out *this* year? (Besides the economy, obvs) They're on top of their division!

Paul Brown Stadium is pretty big, with the boxes it is over 70,000 seats. They sold out the Steelers and most of their other home games, but their home stretch run was the Browns, Lions and Chiefs, not exactly clubs people are dying to see. I think there is a bit of hangover from completely flopping last year too, along with the economy. I was surprised they were advertising for game seats for the Browns, as that is always a big game no matter how much the clubs stink.

I am sad that NBC and Sandra Bullock have conspired to try and ruin one of my favorite books ever. I just hope that there is not a way to make a heartwarming/sports-ruining human interest story about Taylor Branch's trilogy about Martin Luther King.

Joe Flacco looked up and had a Steeler in his grill.

i just got in from a weekend away and would like to say matt leinart's nfl career would be tragic for anyone else but because it's him it's an endless source of lols

i'm sort of enjoying the bears in a helpless way like i'm being sucked into a black hole and might as well enjoy it because there's no getting outta there. kinda like the post-jordan/pre-skiles bulls years.

Off-topic, but...

Recapping lol-CFL ending of the Grey Cup for you non-Canucks:

--Saskatchewan Roughriders lead 20-10, force a punt from the Montreal Alouettes near midfield early in Q4. Punt sails into the endzone for a single point (aka "rouge"). Montreal called for illegal procedure (illegal shift) on the punt, not a dead ball foul. Sask decline the penalty, conceding the point and taking the ball at their 35. They later lose the game by this point.

--Sask scores a TD on the ensuing drive, lead 27-11 with 8 minutes left. This is not a safe lead in the CFL.

--Montreal drives 84 yards in 6 plays for a touchdown, as Saskatchewan's pass rush disappears. 2-point convert makes it 27-19, a one score game.

--Sask's rushing attack (22 for 191 for the game) disappears. On 2nd and long (3 down football, so 2nd down = 3rd, more or less), [Sask QB] rolls out to his right under pressure and throws a lame duck that gets picked off. Als ball at midfield, 6 minutes left.

--Montreal drives the length of the field, converting a crucial 3rd and 3 around the Sask 15. On 2nd and goal, [Montreal QB] gets flushed from the pocket, pulls up short right at the line of scrimmage and throws a strike to an uncovered slotback for 6, 27-25.

--2-point conversion attempt incomplete after the Sask DB chucks the WR in the endzone illegally, uncalled. Still 27-25, 2 minutes left. Als have used their (only) timeout of the half. This is not a safe lead in the CFL.

--Sask gets the ball at its 15 after a terrible kickoff return. Obvious run call gets stuffed. Obvious short pass gets stuffed. With 51 seconds left they punt. Ball hits the Montreal PR in the hands, he fumbles it. Als blocker hustles back and covers the fumble, saving the game for his team. Sask nets 65 yards on the exchange.

--Als have the ball on their own 35 with 40 seconds left, no timeouts. 2 complete passes (23 and 17 yards) and 2 incompletions later, they're in field goal range. Sask rush 3 and get no pressure. Clock stops automatically until whistled in, so the Als work the middle of the field to complete their last pass to the Sask 35 with 10 seconds left. No timeouts, but the field goal unit has lots of time to get set up.

--Field goal attempt from the 43 (goalposts are at the front of the endzone in the CFL) to win the championship. Kick is up, wide right! Returner takes missed kick out of the end zone, slides to the ground as time expires. Saskatchewan Roughriders win the Grey Cup, 27-25.

--Flags on the field. Sask called for illegal substitution, found to have 13 men on the field (CFL is 12 per side). Video later confirms 12 at the line, plus the returner in the endzone. CBC TV shows Sask coordinator in press box, smacks own face then bends all the way over turning away from the field, giving national TV audience a view of his be-khakied backside.

--10 yard penalty, re-try field goal from the 33. It's good.

--Montreal Alouettes win the Grey Cup.

--Live CBC interview with Anthony Calvillo, Montreal QB, who gives "all credit to our Lord and Savior" and exclaims suddenly "what a joyous moment, what a joyous moment!"

--Heavily Sask-supporting crowd files out of Calgary's McMahon stadium disappointed. Luckily farm people are used to disappointment.

--CBC announcer makes strained pun about the "13th man" (crowd noise) turning out to Saskatchewan's disadvantage after all...

;_;

I wish I could see CFL games here.

It was a Boxing Day the Prime Minister will never forget!

thanks plasmon! one of my canadian friend's fb statuses referenced that and I was actually trying to find the story.

sounds like an epic contest, and lol @ this:

--Heavily Sask-supporting crowd files out of Calgary's McMahon stadium disappointed. Luckily farm people are used to disappointment.

Anthony Calvillo is the Kurt Warner of the CFL.

"i'm sort of enjoying the bears in a helpless way like i'm being sucked into a black hole and might as well enjoy it because there's no getting outta there"

This is pretty much being a Bears fan, this year is nothing new. Criminy this year is upbeat compared to some of the clubs during the Wannstedt years. I swear Dave Wannstedt being the coach of the Bears did damage to my liver.

Ray Rice!

Do you guys think Gary Kubiak could get axed in Houston? I'm beginning to wonder if they might give him the heave ho. That would be a pretty good club for one of the vet coaches to take over, as they have the tools, it's just getting it together.

i talked abt this briefly before--i'm not sure precisely what kubiak is good at--do they underachieve or do they just play in a ridiculous division?

i guess it could happen, but I think it'd be a mistake!

i don't think they underachieve, i honestly think that's about what their talent level is.

oh i know being a bears fan is perpetually like this but this year is just amazing, i'm kinda loving it. i don't know why i feel this way.

i'm a little worried about you

texans do strike me as a bit undisciplined maybe? tons of penalties today, altho some of that was the peyton influence

A little bit of luck in the 4th quarter and the Texans could be in the place of the Colts. They have now lost FOUR in a row and six games over all on 4th quarter drives. It is always close in the NFL, but losing that many tight games is never good for anyone's resume.

It would be funny if Shanahan was the guy to replace Kubiak.

Oh man that was a sick-ass play. That was like what Dixon used to do at Oregon.

i hate the steelers and am rooting for the ravens, but i am liking Dixon.

Criminy, the Steelers should have been trying some of that spread offense stuff earlier. That Dixon is really fast for a QB.

If you got someone that can make those plays, might as well give them a chance.

I think for like 2 or 3 years now the Texans have always seemed like they were right on the verge of becoming really really good, but I don't watch them closely enough to know if that is Kubiak not finding it or the players not being able to get past the verge.

kubiak started in a worse personnel situation than people realized - the offense has mostly been overrated, thanks to conventional fantasy stats better than its on-field performance - also hitching his wagon to a QB who misses 5 games a year may not have been a great move

Texans are pretty bad about turning the ball over in key times.

tru, though when stats outweigh performance is it a players issue, a coaching issue, both?

Going for a 4th and five against the Steelers when you are only down a field goal? I don't know about that one.

Oh well that will make you look like a genius.

WAU

Ray Rice 4-eva

guy is SICK

Ray Rice has that bowling ball low center of gravity running style that makes him hard to bring down.

If Dixon gets the win here, he will already have accomplished way more than JaMarcus Russell.

Huge hit...what a crazy play sequence.

Holy shit

aw, man! craaaazy

poor ravens

Oh man that looked like it was gonna make it! Still, any opportunity to see the Chinese Fire Drill Field Goal attempt is good.

that was awes

WHAT THE FUCK WAS ALL OF THAT

yeah. unlike lsu last week, at least they had a plan to get the fg unit out there

The guy who hit Joe Flacco there ran right past Michael Oher, who you may know from the film "The Blind Side".

did you guys notice the ravens mascot fall over and faint

The Ravens did a great job getting on the field and the kick away really.

It would have been good from 50-51.

they miss a field goal at the end of the blind side movie, schef! that's what happened! the credits are next, i guess

yeah great job getting the special teams out there and getting the kick off

Also, Cundiff was exactly right about what his range was! He said he could kick it 53 yards and he did! On a 56 yard fg attempt tho. :-(

hey daria thanks for blowing the blind side for me :'/

On the reply, I wonder if that was Flacco kind of pulling a Snake Stabler hoping for the best on the 'fumble'.

xp to self j/k btw!

oh shit al michaels otm that happened in another game recently with the forward fumble spot

actually, at the end of the blind side movie i think dude ends up playing in an overtime game vs the steelers. actually we are in the movie RIGHT NOW

plus he got to say hell on tv TWICE
xpost

they really show a lot of sandra bullock in the trailers, she's hardly been in this game at all.

yeah if ever there was a time for hell to pay

Are they trying to run out the clock.

i don't think al michaels gets enough credit for being a bro btw

tonight they all dine in hell, because of that bad spot that didn't even matter

yeah, i find him pretty likeable, too

xpost

Dixon is pretty bad at passing, tbh

Hahaha Ally the whole game whenever they have been "Hey funny thing about this Michael Oher guy" I have been thinking that it could be worse, that Sandra Bullock could be planted in the stands somewhere, with cuts to her reaction shots to every single play.

OK I just realized watching the highlights, it must be weird as hell to kick a FG towards a red-eyed evil looking bird on the scoreboard.

I've been down on Al since he was on Kornheiser's radio show a few years ago and all he wanted to talk about was how any amount of taxes he had to pay was too much taxes.

I've been thinking about making a wallet-sized version of hatcat so I can just break 'er out whenever someone says something that pisses me off.

I've wanted to hand Collinsworth a hatcat like infinity times.

man if joe the flacco has been sacked five times already, maybe sandra bullock needs to step in with some inspirational speeches

I'm sure she would tell him to get rid of the ball faster!

play them off, hatcat

ha sometimes in life i find myself thinking "hatcat.jpg" as though it's a retort, should be crossposted with "too much time on ilx" :/

They showed that Ochocinco Snuggie picture during the Bengals game and Solomon Wilcot's said he looked like a Sherpa.

that was quite a montage of sad steelers right there

omg that chad pic

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhxK8P0h5Fk&feature=player_embedded

i'm not trying to distract from the game, i just found these two amazing things and don't want to forget to share them.

I just like the idea that it's possible that you could just be shopping at Target and you could see Chad Ochocinco there, wearing a Snuggie in the middle of Target. That makes me want to shop at Target more.

great game

oh sad, i was hoping the star-free steelers would win this

I'm thinking they need a Snuggie in the Bengal tiger print.

ok I googled "fashion snuggie" to see if I could find a tigery one and found this:

http://asseenontvblankets.com/

look at all these team snuggies!

Whoa Ray Lewis is about to start making out with Ray Rice.

Ray and Ray just like to touch each other.

lol @ ray mocking other nfl games

Ray Rice is absolutely getting a "Ray and Ray: Double Trouble" scrapbook for Christmas this year.

can we get one of those snuggies with hatcat on it?

lol @ ray mocking other nfl games

Also, he could not be more otm.

I would be pretty cool with Ray Lewis doing color commentary after he retires.

Well apparently Edgerrin James was one of the 10 leading rushers of all time for about an hour or two.

why is the titans' mascot a raccoon?

great game

penalty-fest tbh

um, is he on something? those eyes just aren't right.

ok, it appears the raccoon is the official state animal of tennessee. who knew? i mean, i guess they have a lot of em out there.

i mean, the whole giant raccoon wearing a christmas tree isn't right either, but this is america, i was able to overlook it for a minute there

it's a raccoon, wearing a football uniform, imitating a christmas tree, doing some kind of a performance, in a giant stadium. if he only had a gun too it'd be perfect.

great game

And scaring Mike Silver!

haha I like how halfway through it turns into "brian urlacher is having fun"

He’s as blown away by Favre’s play as anyone. “He’s the MVP, right?” Urlacher said. “He’s got to be. That [expletive] is unreal, man. Sixty years old and doing all that [expletive]? It’s crazy.”

i kept hoping that story would devolve into a nightmarish odyssey through the backalleys of chicago though it actually maybe sounds like it did, a little bit.
