Revis just signed a new deal with the Jets -- I think the Miami/Jets game could go either way now (but I'll still call it for Miami since Revis hasn't practiced all off-season)

Thank god Revis Island has lifted the embargo

here's hoping that revis won't bother showing up on sundays now the check is in the bank.

In a surprise move, the Baltimore Ravens reached agreement with former Seattle Seahawks wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh on a one-year, $855,000 deal, according to league sources.

Seattle still owes Houshmandzadeh $6.15 million, meaning the receiver will make a total of $7 million this season.

Flacco's got a lot of options.

wow

"need to hit them like rihanna"

the Onion season preview is pretty lol http://www.theonion.com/articles/onion-sports-2010-nfl-teambyteam-guide,18023/?slide=1 e.g. (Jax) With stalwart Aaron Kampman at defensive end, opponents will be forced to throw at the weak secondary or run through the soft middle of their line

great lolz at (AZ): Weakness: Kurt Warner is getting slower and less accurate because he has retired and is never, ever coming back

Minnesota at New Orleans: New Orleans
Carolina at NYG: NYG, but i would not give the 7.5 line no way
Atlanta at Pittsburgh: ATL
Cleveland at Tampa Bay: cleveland
Denver at Jacksonville: Jax (didnt realize tebow's 1st game was in jax)

Oakland at Tennessee: Tennessee
Cincinnati at New England: Cincy
Arizona at St. Louis: AZ
San Fran at Seattle: San Francisco
Green Bay at Philadelphia: Green Bay
Dallas at Washington: Washington
Baltimore at NJ Jets: Ravens

Weakness: Terrell Owens wants to prove he can still play at a high level, but he wants to systematically destroy an entire football organization much, much more

roflz

Minnesota at New Orleans: New Orleans in a lively festival of rape
Carolina at NYG: NYG
Atlanta at Pittsburgh: ATL. 0-16 for steelers
Cleveland at Tampa Bay: CLE
Denver at Jacksonville: JX
Indianapolis at Houston: HOUSTON IN AN ACT OF POINTLESS CONTRARIANISIM. I am bearish on the Colts this yr.
Miami at Buffalo: MIA
Detroit at Chicago: DET <--see what I did there.
Oakland at Tennessee: TN
Cincinnati at New England: CIN
Arizona at St. Louis: AZ <--this is actually the worst game
San Fran at Seattle: SF
Green Bay at Philadelphia: GB
Dallas at Washington: DAL
Baltimore at NJ Jets: Ravens
SD at KC: SD

also lol

Intangibles: Matt Leinart, who may be the least tangible quarterback in the NFL

Intangibles: Fuck the Dallas Cowboys and every fucking thing they stand for; special teams

Also terrible looking o-line which I'm surprised they didn't note considering their totally reasonable hatred of the Cowboys.

Strength: He may not be a Joe Montana, but Alex Smith is proving to be a better QB than Jim Druckenmiller, Gio Carmazzi, or Steve Stenstrom ever were

i should basically have just c+p the whole fucking thing instead of dribbling it out piecemeal but i can't help myself.

Minnesota at New Orleans: NOS
Carolina at NYG: NYG
Atlanta at Pittsburgh: AF
Cleveland at Tampa Bay: CB
Denver at Jacksonville: DB
Indianapolis at Houston: IC
Miami at Buffalo: MD

Minnesota at New Orleans: Saints
Carolina at NYG: Giants
Atlanta at Pittsburgh: Birds
Cleveland at Tampa Bay: Bux
Denver at Jacksonville: Bronx
Indianapolis at Houston: Colts, but I agree w/Crunch that this is going to be close
Miami at Buffalo: Fins

Cincinnati at New England: Pasties
Arizona at St. Louis: Cards
San Fran at Seattle: Niners
Green Bay at Philadelphia: Pack

Atlanta at Pittsburgh: Falcons (would like Steelers to get crushed)
Cleveland at Tampa Bay: Bucs (awful game)
Denver at Jacksonville: Broncos (not the best matchup of all time)
Indianapolis at Houston: Colts (this could be good)
Miami at Buffalo: Miami (really hoping Buffalo pulls off an upset, but doubt it)
Detroit at Chicago: Bears (easy way to open up the season for my team, but watch them fuck it up)
Oakland at Tennessee: Tennessee (Oak a hot preseason sleeper, they will still probably shit the bed)
Cincinnati at New England: New England (this could be hilariously entertaining)
Arizona at St. Louis: Rams (just basing this on qb issues Arizona has had)
San Fran at Seattle: San Francisco (SF destroys Seattle here)
Green Bay at Philadelphia: Green Bay (if Green Bay has an o-line this year, they could be unbeatable)
Dallas at Washington: Dallas (two of the most repulsive teams of all time)
Baltimore at NJ Jets: Baltimore (woulld give anything to see Ray Lewis shut the fucking Jets up)
SD at KC: Chargers (SD wins big on the road here)

THIS POST IS A BANGER

http://bit.ly/chAXFX

The Jets were up 17-6 in the championship game, and might have been able to sustain it with Kris Jenkins on the field, who is imo their second best defensive player. Don't like how they handled the offseason but I still think they will be dangerous.

Damn, I think whoever wrote that Onion preview reads our site, as half of those things are stuff like gets said here.

•Intangibles: Can't discount the possibility of another horrific injury to quarterback Tom Brady; oh, please, Lord, let there be another horrific injury to Tom Brady
•Biggest Question: This may be the year New England finally falls out of contention, but we know full well these fucks will pull a 12-4 season out of their ass somehow

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

•Weakness: Looking at this roster, it may not be the best year to play in a stadium where fans have access to several functioning cannons
•Intangibles: Signing a rookie wide receiver named Mike Williams has done nothing but backfire throughout the entire history of the league
•Player To Watch: Remember Warrick Dunn? He was a fun player to watch. Seemed like a genuinely nice guy, too.

Seattle Seahawks

•Weakness: Team is in their 10th year of humoring quarterback and Make-A-Wish cancer patient Matt Hasselbeck
•Intangibles: Billionaire owner Paul Allen is concentrating less on his team and more on hollowing out the earth so he can live inside it with the dinosaurs there.

Intangibles: Can't discount the possibility of another horrific injury to quarterback Tom Brady; oh, please, Lord, let there be another horrific injury to Tom Brady

Biggest Question: This may be the year New England finally falls out of contention, but we know full well these fucks will pull a 12-4 season out of their ass somehow

hahaha!

I’ll be honest with you; I pretty much haven’t followed much football since Manning through that pick 6 in the Super Bowl. Even if you do follow it, I think it is pretty much like reading tea leaves to know what is going on the first couple of weeks, as pre-season is such a poor indicator of much.

Minnesota at New Orleans: I’ll take the Saints at home, although they still might be hung over. Minnesota will probably try and fail to kill Drew Brees. Favre pretty much throws out the whole thing on “you gotta prepare” showing up 10 minutes before the game in some Wranglers and flip flops.

Carolina at NYG: I’ll go Giants at home, as Carolina has to be the most boring club in the NFL. The Giants are so fruity, you never know how good they are week to week either way.

Atlanta at Pittsburgh: This is kind of a tough one, as the Falcons road record over the decades is really poor and while the Steelers are probably not as good as could be, they still might be OK. Question—If they are 4-0 and Dixon’s getting the job done, does the masher get his job back? I’m going Steelers in a slight upset, even though it is the Falcons on the road.

Cleveland at Tampa Bay: Oh boy…I’m taking Cleveland to win as that would be more fun and they actually seemed to improve towards the end of last year, which the Bucs definitely did not.

Denver at Jacksonville: Jville is hard to figure, they pretty much melted away in the second half kind of like the Broncos. I think this is a toss up, and I will take the Jags to win an ugly one, although I have no idea how good either of these clubs might be.

Indianapolis at Houston: Texans usually play the Colts pretty good in Houston. They beat them a couple of years ago on a ½ mile field goal and then pretty much gave away the game the last couple of years after beating them pretty good for 3 quarters. I’m going Indy, but I’d like to know how well they will run the ball on Sunday. Their running game was pretty pathetic last year, had to be the worse running game to ever get to a Super Bowl.

Miami at Buffalo: I could believe Buffalo making it a game, as that sometimes happens in division, but the Dolphins seem to be a pretty talented club all the way round, so give me Miami.

Detroit at Chicago: I don’t think the problems they had last year really got fixed much. The O-line is either young and bad or old and getting bad, which means they probably still won’t be able to run and Cutler will still be running for his life. Sucks as they actually have a few decent skills guys, but I think it would take Sweetness to be able to run behind that line. The defense is getting old too, so it is hard to figure where they will be. I’m going Bears, as you cannot pick the Lions to win on the road.

Oakland at Tennessee: Well Oaktown is going to be better, as even though Jason Campbell is a bust, he is not a BIG F-IN BUST like JaBustus. Tennessee looked pretty good at the end of last year and I’ll take them to win, but if Oakland can run the ball or get a couple of big turnovers they might hang around.

Cincinnati at New England: Freak City Open on this one…TO, OCHO & MOSS man in the same stadium, criminy this should be like some WWF event. I want to go Bengals and I hope they cream those bastards, but it’s the Pats and they will probably squeak out a win.

Arizona at St. Louis: AZ has some talent but it seems really weird to be picking a club with Derek Anderson to win, then again he has Larry Fitzgerald instead of Braylon Edwards. It is also on the road and the Cards are not exactly road warriors. Err….I guess Cards it is, but don’t feel good on it.

San Fran at Seattle: Seahawks might bounce back, but I think the 49ers are a bit better club.

Green Bay at Philadelphia: Hard to figure on Eagles without McNabb, I’ll go Green Bay, but they were pretty shaky at times. Philly isn’t an easy place to win.

Dallas at Washington: Which owner do you despise more? I don’t care who wins, I just want something to happen to cause both of those pricks to somehow lose money on the game (as long as no fans get hurt or nothing). I guess Dallas, but big whoop.

Baltimore at NJ Jets: Pretty similar clubs…although the Ravens threw it a heck of a lot more than you would expect last year. Jets have gotten pretty inflated and the Ravens were kind of droopy down the stretch. I’m still going out and taking Ravens in an upset.

SD at KC: I’m going Chargers, but KC is always a tough place for an AFC West team to play. You never know what SD will show up, but I think KC still is a bit below the talent level. KC would need to capitalize on some Charger mistakes to win.

I feel like the bucs could spectacularly crash and burn this year

Minnesota at New Orleans: Saints
Carolina at NYG: Giants
Atlanta at Pittsburgh: Falcons
Cleveland at Tampa Bay: Browns
Denver at Jacksonville: Jagwads
Indianapolis at Houston: Colts
Miami at Buffalo: Dolphins
Detroit at Chicago: Lions
Oakland at Tennessee: Titans
Cincinnati at New England: Bungles
Arizona at St. Louis: Cards
San Fran at Seattle: Niners
Green Bay at Philadelphia: Packers
Dallas at Washington: Cowboys
Baltimore at NJ Jets: Jets
SD at KC: Chargers

Interesting that the 49ers picked up Troy Smith. Always thought he deserved a real shot.

imo it was better to pick up Troy Smith than Matt Leinart.

guys. can I just say how excited I am about FOOTBALL. tomorrow night!!! nothing was sadder than the offseason.

^ this

I'm usually not excited about FOOTBALL!!! until after baseball season is finished, but I'm really into it from week 1 this year.

fyi football season started last week

If there is a lockout next year I am gonna die.

idk I might still be a bit sad because though I love football just as much as my coworkers love football, I was not fully prepared for the degree to which they care about the college game & NFL is nowhere near as important. It's weird.

I've never liked the college game.

I love college ball going back to my childhood. My NFL fanaticism really only goes back about 10 years.

FOOTBALL!

in case you missed last season! RECAP

•Intangibles: Can't discount the possibility of another horrific injury to quarterback Tom Brady; oh, please, Lord, let there be another horrific injury to Tom Brady

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was involved in a car accident early this morning in Boston's Back Bay section.

Brady, 33, declined treatment, according to WEEI-AM Radio, at the scene (see WHDH video here) and headed for Gillette Stadium.

The two-car accident, which occurred at about 6:34 a.m., involved an Audi sedan driven by Brady, law enforcement sources told the Boston Globe, and a minivan. A passenger in the van was unconscious, removed via the jaws of live and taken to Brigham and Women's Hospital, police said. Sources tell WHDH-TV that the minivan ran a red light and struck Brady's car at the intersection of Commonwealth Avenue and Gloucester Street.

Hanna LeStrange, who was staying nearby, told the Globe that she went to the scene after hearing the crash.

"It was just really high-impact, you could tell. The front of the Audi was off," she said. "[Brady] was sort of bent over, looked completely shaken up. He got up and just started wiping his jeans," she said.

Another witness told the Globe that Brady "looked a little shook up, shaking his hands." He went into an ambulance and a few minutes later was picked up by someone in a Jeep Cherokee and drove off. WEEI reported that Brady was believed to be seeing New England Patriots medical personnel.

"It took us a few minutes to realize it was him," the witness, who declined to be identified, told the Globe.

The witness' co-worker, who also declined to identify herself to the Globe, said of the passenger who was hospitalized: "He was pretty bad. He was lying in the back of the van," she said.

Brady was heading to the stadium to continue preparations for the Patriots' season opener Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals when the accident occurred.

"It was just really high-impact, you could tell. The front of the Audi was off," she said. "(Brady) was sort of bent over, looked completely shaken up. He got up and just started wiping his jeans,"

Did you all see Berman's moustache last night?

http://www.whosay.com/ChrisMortensen/content/2146?code=gQU3lY

OK, I just got the weirdest thing in the mail today -- an 80-page college/pro football catalogue from a sports book. (b3tµs dot com) I had no idea this was legal! I thought the only legal sports books were in Vegas.

Also, it has a really shitty printing job.

^ I got that as well (I've done some betting with them in the past so I wasn't surprised to receive it).

They are based in Canada I think.

i've gotten those--assume my info was shared because i get (lol) espn the magazine.

I think they get the info from fantasy league signups, because I've never bet on anything ever.

GUYS IT IS FUCKING FOOTBALL TIME!

:D

Ray Lewis chimes in on LT & Chargers situation. Says LT is currently one of "top 3 or 4 backs" in the league. Then adds "It wasn't his fault San Diego's offensive line didn't produce, or they went without a fullback (in 2009)."

I don't think he's right, but it's an interesting observation. The Chargers definitely ran a lot of plays without a fullback last year.

okay, so if LT is one of the top "3 or 4 backs" in the league
and johnson, mo-jo and AP are CLEARLY the top three
than he's saying LT is better than Ray Rice?

I imagine he's saying Ray Rice is better than Mo-Jo.

and that LT is a better back than Mo-Jo? errrr. no.

I think you can file this under "old guy thinks old guys are better than young guys"

Related note: I have LT, Ricky Williams, and TJ Houshmandazuma on my ff team.

I hope you have a lot more than that

A healthy Jim Miller?

The 2010 inaugural Polish Boys are ready to be plated in anticiaption of a new season.

(the middle one in the pic)

http://www.thegourmetchilidog.com/images/hotdogs/oh/SetisPolishBoys_12.jpg

Thought it started at 7:30. Apparently first we have to suffer thru poor sound quality performances by Taylor Swift and DMB before we can watch the game.

Taylor Swift is lovely.

But really, how does a concert with such shitty sound quality occur in 2010? Seriously, how does this happen??? They haven't perfected that technology yet??

The Man don't give a fuck.

this pre game show is such an abortion. also, the jerry jones/snyder commercial is an abortion

oh man, not another interview. put dave matthews back on. (and i can't stand dave matthews)

FUCK THIS BULLSHIT ALREADY GODDAMN FOOTBALL PLEASE

good grief

FOOTBALL

DREW BREES

:D

vikes secondary is ugh-lee

have I ever mentioned how much I love the Saints?

hi, i'm clay, i'm new to ILNFL this year but plan to be posting some.

the saints are apparently going to score 100+ points per game this year btw.

good luck, minnesota

damnit I was thisss close to starting henderson

playing vs brees in fantasy. gonna be a rough night :`(

trying to remember where i recognized the minnesota qb from and suddenly realized he was the crotchety old dude in the movie gran torino.

I mean part of me was gonna be happy regardless because the NFL is on but I mean so far, this is just delightful to me. Missed you, unstoppable New Orleans Saints offensive killing machine. Missed U much.

Welcome back, Favre. Here's a three-and-out for you.

this game would become infinitely more interesting if brett favre started spewing millions of racist terms for asians

Halftime interview all "You know, we need to go out there and execute our gameplan, but I gotta tell you, Andrea, they gotta get all these slanty-eyed Chinamen out of this place."

still 55 mins to go

post-championship hangover. saints look terrible.

honestly if the vikings are gonna sit in zone & not get a pass rush on breeze they're gonna lose by three touchdowns

er, brees

adrian peterson, fumble one time now

I get that Minnesota has an interest in giving Favre extra protection, but if they're gonna have to do that all year, at some point Favre's just gonna have to throw into double coverage all the time.

balls of steel

Wow that was SICK

Bank of America ATMs: They can do addition now.

at this point the vikings might as well take all their DL out and put in 4 more DBs

jesus christ they're showing us favre's bruises

man they're gonna run peterson into the ground this year aren't they

vikes should save some cap room by paying minimum salary for a guy to hand off to AP

keep ball away from saints O is a smart strategy tho

At least until he blows out his knee in week three.

Ack! xx-post

i think this drive has been 35 actual minutes long

"they've held berrian without a catch tonight"

i would like to note that this is not a notable feet

saints D will be delighted to be back on. shaping up to play 14 of 15 mins in the 2nd quarter and then vikes get the ball again after the half.

WHEE

AND THE NFL SEASON HAS BEGUN

HAHAHAHA

USA! USA! USA!

Classic Favre

FAVRECEPTION!!!

omg farve got demolished on that play

Good Lord that hit was brutal, too. Ye gads. Still WHEEEE INTERCEPTION HOORAAAAAAYYYYY

http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/8479/favreah.jpg

^ totally and completely my favorite sight in football

sometimes you just gotta throw the ball vaguely in the direction of a tightly covered player for a potential 2 yard gain

i think that commercial just sent a coors to mars

he's reeeally lucky that the OL was there, or else he might've broken three ribs

Love the perfect spiral you can see on the pass in that pic.

Aaand 3 and out.

first touch for percy tonight? crazy

touchdown vikes :/

My assumption was that Harvin is a decoy tonight.

"camarillo, a white wide receiver, much like wes welker"

that was a real nice throw

what did he say? i only heard the "much like wes welker" part

he said that camarillo is a "slot receiver, much like wes welker" except camarillo never played the slot for the dolphins

wth at not taking a shot before half?

saints need to fix their pass protection

Hard to have consistent pass protection when they know you're passing on every down.

fair enough!

haha

poly, it's like they heard you!

I really enjoyed Collinsworth on that whole drive. Not gonna lie, hadn't ever even noticed the "Kill Kill Kill" thing before.

yeah brees was unusually easy to hear at that part of the drive and cris jumped on it--he's great.

dang, almost another one

awww cmon man! so close!

Awww that still counts as an interception in my heart, Malcolm Jenkins.

Drew Brees's giant-headed son! ADORBS

Favre has a grandson? Dang.

wthf @ old spice ad

Holy crap Ray Lewis is the new man who your man could smell like.

I'm looking forward to an entire season of Favre-is-so-old (how old is he?) commentary.

geez favre has made, what, one good throw tonight?

to which team?

Clearly some of you are not properly following the Ravens thread.

poor challenge

http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/2157/ricehatcat.jpg

i suddenly really want some old spice products

shoulda flipped hatcat horizontal but otherwise YESSSSS

Aw crap

man i hope hartley doesn't fuck over the saints

Garrett Hartley seems to have caught whatever was afflicting all the other kickers last year.

xp YES

collinsworth makes exactly the same joke after 2nd miss fg

Lotta dropped passes for the Saints tonite

Week 2 thread title: MAYBE THEY NEED MORE PRESSURE

lol daria

it's the kicker conspiracy again. spooky

bailed out there funboy

http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/88/ricehatcat2.jpg

yeah this might work better?

The funshovel

much better daria

i feel like we need a special HATCAT archive thread

the favre throw to slot receiver white receiver greg camarillo was INSANE

so was brees's throw to meachem

The spread on this game was 5 points, btw.

i feel like we need a special HATCAT archive thread

this is an excellent idea

i was looking for a good pic of tom brady's car earlier, for the purposes of HATCAT but didn't see any possibilities!

geaux saints

vikes passing game/saints secondary was a really bad matchup for minn

what even happened in this game is football gonna be this bad all year

nah opening games reserve the right to be duds

and the vikings might actually suck

so happy the NFL is back. also have Sundays off, for the first time in like five years, so yeah me.

vikings will be lucky to get to 9 wins

it took favre all of the 3rd quarter to figure out that he couldn't pass to shiancoe in x2/3 coverage. they should've stuck with a more balanced attack.

i could not be happier about ray lewis riding a raven and blowing up saturn

things i confirmed from watching this game:
1 - vikings d is suspect as hell
2 - AP is gonna get 5 billion touches in 2010
3 - favre does not trust his receivers right now
4 - Brees is a monster but none of his receivers have fantasy value
5 - so starved for football even this was enjoyable
6 - best first game dinner = meatball parm sub, root beer and cheesecake

i hate don't like Rachel Nichols, she too much of a tool.

That's weird. I was just thinking before the game that if Rachel and I were ever in the same place I'd probably man up and ask her out.

if you want to lol, next time you see a rachel nichols report, put it on mute, so her insane facial & hand gestures really pop

she is really pretty but they way she talks just turns me off.

xpost

and so dramatic, please.

Minnesota at New Orleans: was gonna pick the saints but too late now so this won't count
Carolina at NYG: giants will win ugly
Atlanta at Pittsburgh: atlanta
Cleveland at Tampa Bay: ugh. well, i'm gonna go with the browns i guess. ugh.
Denver at Jacksonville: i really hope it's jax, but i'm picking the broncos
Indianapolis at Houston: picking indy here but i got a feeling houston will put up a battle. schaub to andre johnson is a pretty sick combo.
Miami at Buffalo: dolphins will lolphin all over the ills
Detroit at Chicago: the bears in a battle too close for me to enjoy and in an offensive display that doesn't give me hope
Oakland at Tennessee: chris johnson runs for 352 yards and 9 tds and tenn wins
Cincinnati at New England: bengals will not show up, pats will win 14-10
Arizona at St. Louis: zona but still, they're gonna kinda suck this year.
San Fran at Seattle: gore + crabtree >>> forsett and ???
Green Bay at Philadelphia: definitely green bay. not sold on kolb. yet.
Dallas at Washington: i want to see mcnabb do a sideline dance but not this week. cowboys.
Baltimore at NJ Jets: jets have an epic D, i guess, but their O is iffy and maybe not quite enough here. ravens.
SD at KC: SD in the first of 15 consecutive wins, followed by a week 17 loss, followed by a first round bye, followed by a loss to the fired-up texans.

guys what the fuck is that thing with ray lewis blowing up planets anyway

lady, if you have to ask...

DO you think they were like finishing up filming and post production and everyone was all like, "DONE!" and then one dude at like 1am, exhausted, was like, "maybe we should add in him blowing up saturn" and they just did that.

yeah, wouldn't surprise me

y is this not a gif that i can see rite now

RIP Cankles

the looping is particularly satisfying

sometimes you just gotta throw the ball vaguely in the direction of a tightly covered player for a potential 2 yard gain

these ting r gonna lead to so many loljoeks...

hey I am going to this redskins game! Idk if I'm still calling plays though? They had me only calling them with the scout team in practice?

!!bootleg!!

are the thousand coaches named sherm still there? prob not huh

man the things i could do with football themed toast

eat it obviously

im sure ill think of some other things too

the potential!!

hatcat toaster

i have to be somewhere that may or may not be ashburn virginia or i would photoshop it myself, but, hatcat toast

http://the506.com/sports/?tag=2010-week-1

Here's the broadcast map for Week 1. THANK JEEBUS I don't have to watch the Bucs or the Jags.

Woo! Philly game in NYC!

http://nflinjury.com/category/100-nfl-wags
poll anyone?

actually, now that i looked that link over, please ignore it as it is lame

Satillite Dish is pretty much having it free open bar on all of the games this week, which is good as I know that Bears/Lions game would not be on TV around here.

I'll probably be hopping betweeen Bears/Lions, Colts/Texans, Bengals/Pats & Reds/Pirates game. Too many things I would want to watch, all on at the same time. Kind of sucks as I don't really care about anything else at the 4pm games. Don't really care about the Wash/Cowboys game, as I despise both owners (McNabb's cool though). I guess I will do that lawnwork I keep putting off at 4.

did not realize dolphina were 0 -- 5 the last five games in Buffalo, or that the dolphins were 1 -- 6 in season openers since 2003. The team's had a shakey offseason, too (e.g., parcells stepping-down, into a ''consulting'' role, just days ago). If we lose this game, look out below, given our next 7 or so opponents.

well, sun-sentinel sportswriter dave hyde sees dolphins going 10 -- 6, so what do i know (nothing obv).

GUYS FUCKING FOOTBALL IS ACTUALLY FOR REAL IN AN HOUR

watching Fox pregame stuff right now. totally psyched. what are you guys gonna watch today?

Welker active, Edelman inactive. Kind of like Superman and Clark Kent.

we got the pats game, green bay, and then the sunday night whogivesashit bowl

LOL @ JF

anyone have a redzone link?

ATDHE seems to have a link

schefter looking like a mafioso

lol, "that's old news. not because it happened awhile ago but because brett favre is old."

jim nantz just welcomed me to the en-hef-el

hello friends nfl here

phew! welcome to NFL devin mccourty

watching giants panthers

shocked the pats got a sack

haha yeah me too, how did that happen?!

flipping btw giants/panthers and raiders/titans. (with red zone on the laptop)

god damn, i love football.

hernandez! man. and here i started gronkowski on my fantasy team

taylor is gonna be so awesome for the two weeks he is active

Bears rolled down the field on the Lions only to get stuffed on a couple of plays within the Detroit 5, had to take a field goal.

why in god's name is denver-jax on my television

oh shit that outside double tight end play was awesome!!!

btw, what is this crazy stuff with logan mankins? they had the deal done but everything fell apart because they wanted him to publicly apologize to kraft? (per schefter.) are you kidding me.

campbell sacked on first offensive play of the year

well, brady seems okay then huh

welker is fine too, yeah

just realized i need to upgrade to a premium tier to get red zone (this premium tier also includes the world fishing network HD)

aw, jason! i'm rooting for him. not surprised redskins traded him but .. why'd it have to be to the raiders.

giants starting the season off in fashion

*giants run d*

wait, PACMAN just returned that kickoff for bengals? i thought that guy was out of the league

loooool panthers

I'm conflicted... I don't like the Raiders, but I like Jason Campbell. I feel myself rooting for them right now.

QB masterclass at NYG vs Panthers

throw this bills offense over the niagra in a barrel imo

why are you watching a bills game? are they playing miami?

lol yes

Mark It-- Jay Cutler's first interception of the year (throwing into triple coverage at that)!

1:32 pm 9/12/10

only 999,999 to go..

loool

#Lions Suh gets his 1st career sack chasing Cutler out of bounds & #Bears QB throws his 1st pick of season on next snap.

jesus fred taylor looks good

switching between phillies game + redzone on laptop, watching giants/panthers on tv (go steve smith!)

how does NFL work it so that out of THREE games i'm trying to watch, they're always all on commercial at the same time?!!

Raiders / Titans. I'm not ready for football after all. Yeesh guys.

my friend visiting fell asleep w/in 5 minutes of nfl starting /lame

vince young is the best

so colts aren't looking so hot against Houston, huh?

that's a fumble! CMON MAN

i dunno how much of this is the bungles, but pats look shit hot both sides of the ball

4 catches for brandon marshall in the first half

eli!!

Raiders / Titans. I'm not ready for football after all. Yeesh guys.

haha i am watching it, too. ugly game.

<3 eli

so apparently a texans player died

just now?

one of the most gruesome knee injuries in recent time, my friend says

i couldn't watch, i don't need to see that.. the announcers were like 'the knee is not meant to bend in that way'

my friend reports

his leg.....
mcgaheed backwards, then like went completely sideways
it looked impossible

mcgahee got hurt?

no, mcgahee is a verb there

peyton lookin a bit stressed out there

Which texans player?

McClain_on_NFL

DE Connor Barwin has been taken off on a stretcher with a leg or knee injury. He's writhing on the ground in agony.
4 minutes ago via web

Bummer

Detroit just got a turnover on the Bears lulz

patriots defense flying all over the place

the bengals are gonna go 4-12

yea bengals o looks shook

Guys McFadden ran!

this falcons/steelers game is painfully boring so far

Wait nevermind u_u

chris johnson only 2497 yards from goal

huge kick 52y for panthers

steve tasker just described the bills offense as "high school football"

technology is awz i just bought red zone and love life

colts are getting worked

wow, that play brady/faulk

eli picked off -- both manning brothers looking terrible today

both eli picks were deflections

WELKAH
17-0

i just want everyone to know that i'm watching usa-turkey now

hope yall are okay with that

NO

j0rdan, there's a giants preseason game on, i think eli's probably playing at least another series

I am going to become a tennis fan

Bears are moving the ball, but they are a bunch of freaking butterfingers.

i think i could be convinced to watch more of the giants game if eli played the rest of the game in just his jock

come on bears! this isn't detroit, this is..
UH

4 and out with no flag, fumble or sack...Raiders on the march! Ugh.

Arian Foster is for real btw. running all over the place.

detroit looking actually good against the bears. insane year for football i predict!

hey, Den vs JAX are actually playing.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

daaaaaaaaaaaamn pick 6
24-0 pats

C Palmer is actually looking like the problem here, which i guess was the one thing i didn't expect.

palmer wasn't v. good last year; he might be getting close to done

are the bungles really this bad?

palmer hasn't been good for a few years now

lol, that pick was their first O snap in pats territory.

ocho also cant get open vs good corners for like 2 yrs now

;_;

if Palmer has really been this poor all the time since he came back from the knee, it was pretty well hidden by the shitty team around him. i figure this the first year that you will actually see how he can play with decent players on O and D, and it is not going well.

well i mean they won the division last year with palmer not playing particularly well so

if anything i figured he might be a little better this year

Raiders preseason continues in Tn.

bears are lighting the field on fire

the Raiders line is just doing a terrible job of protecting Campbell. their first two plays were sacks.

Bears lookin' fugly, Chris Williams being used by Van Den Boech and then they bust an 89 yard screen by Forte!

UNLESS>>>IT IS BEING REVIEWED...

Jason Campbell would get more protection from a line of sock puppets. Feel bad for the dude.

It's Raidertown, Jason.

Is Robert Gallery still around the Raiders or did he get a ticket to Bustville along with JaBustus?

Whew...TD stands for the Bears.

gallery plays RT now i think?

i think he's actually one of the better RTs in the nfl

Chris Johnson 73 yards holy shit

Even with the bad interception, Cutler is having a heck of a first half. Cutler got clobbered on a few plays, so if this is every game, he won't make it all year.

Chicago Bears Comp Att Yds Pct Y/A Sack YdsL TD Int Rating
Jay Cutler(notes) 11 16 239 68.8 14.9 1 1 1 1 106.3

Gallery's not the problem anymore, which says a lot...

delololololololololohmme

Maybe Gallery has got it together in the past year or so, he was considered a pretty bad player his first few seasons, especially how high he was drafted and the bucks he got.

gallery moved to guard, and is pretty good there.

right

he's a fine player, just wasn't a tackle at this level

chris johnson sick run even if it is vs oak

all his long td runs look the same, like all the defenders are just standing still and he runs right past them all

Exactly. Now we have a rookie center who gets a false start penalty. Weee

Julius Peppers is going to kill Matt Stafford before this game is out.

"they need a touchdown right now, just for their mental state.. aaaaand a DELAY OF GAME! AND A TIMEOUT!"

raidertown

eli

"first and 25, campbell under duress.."

eli

yeah... go for it on 4th

gd Davis is lookin rough

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uzU4-m_CMB8/SRriUSp8TiI/AAAAAAAAELs/7AYn_6L2W6w/s200/chinatown.jpg

"Forget it Jake. It's Raidertown"

looool bengals - they had one more play, time for a hail mary

t.o. and ochocinco are where? in the locker room!

Can Raiders call the game bc of no offense being fielded

go steve smith

get this fuckin tennis off of my goddamn tv

gee, glad I'll be watching 49ers/seahawks instead of eagles & packers...

looks like david garrard has remembered how to play qb. will it last?

I hope so. At least long enough to beat the Broncos, anyway

gee, glad I'll be watching 49ers/seahawks instead of eagles & packers...

u crazy

Matthew Stafford is not coming out for the second half for the Lions. Yikes.

I think part of Gerrard's issues are the the Jags had some of the worse wideouts in football last year.

49ers Seahawks huh. Misery loves company. Hand me my revolver

Yay Tennis!!! (vomits, passes out)

Stafford injured!

omg

holy shit, brandon tate

bengals are trying to fail in as many different ways as possible. tate just had to run straight.

he's fast

Foster TD!

Oh come on

bills complete a pass for 25 yards, called for holding on the play, now 3rd and 30

Awww, the Bills just threw an interception on 3rd and 30. Poor Buffalo...

lollll

it was a 4 yard route that went thru someone's hands

campbell on 3rd and 10, misses rock cartwright, would've been called back anyway due to penalty on offense (declined)

just like last season redskins offense!

And Seabass misses field goal

Maybe Raiders need to load team up with rookies & practice squad. We looked better in preseason.

Johnson is a beast

also mario williams

big peyton sack!

Steve Smith with another huge catch

Foster just hit 100 yards rushing today.

pats
defense can't get off the field again.........

jason campbell...

Oh raiderpaws

Ochocinco!

every time i put on this texans game, peyton is sitting on the bench pouting

jason campbell - nebach

eli currently having a much better day than older bro

Nice TD by Young to Skafe. Oh what a lovely creaming

im missing the first hour of eagles b/c i have a softball game :(

i sat eli this week and played favre instead. my bad.

wow at houston

Foster just broke one for 42!

Legend of the Guardians = lolowls nfl photoshop possibilities

Crusher for the Lions, with Lance Briggs just taking the ball away from Shawn Hill on the Detroit 1 yard line.

DONT THROW AN INTERCEPTION JAKE, PLEASE!

Foster with 25 more and a TD! Holy shit this guy.

wow at detroit

wow at football

Bears do the stupid go for it on 4th on the 1, down 1 point.

Oh well, maybe Lovie doesn't want a job. Note, when game on line, tune out Martz.

Guys, Chicago just got stopped at 1st and Goal.

raider TD; McFadden! I was afraid raiders would resort to digging a secret tunnel to endzone

Detroit came with their game faces today.

wtg lions

hah! i wondered where gronkowski went. started that guy on my fantasy team
38-17 pats

Ballsy stop by the Lions D. Getting Kyle Vanden Bosch is a nice pickup for them.

feels like every ne rookie has done something sweet today

Either way, you gots to tune out Martz, as that dude can come up with plays, but he does some totally stupid sXXT calls at times.

Holy crap! Did anyone see that???tennessee Mascot eating cheerleader gif needed stat!!

i quit watching raiders game, i've seen wayyyyyyyyyy more than enough of jason campbell getting beat up over the past few seasons thx

i'm sure tommy from quinzee is excited about gronkowski too because well

WTF WHY DID THEY SWITCH TO THE BUFFALO GAME

FAAACK YOU CBS

I DON'T WANT TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE LAST DRIVE FROM BUFFALO

Brandstatter, Detroit radio commentator, prior to 4th and goal play: "If the Bears go for this...SMITH NEEDS HIS HEAD EXAMINED."

gus johnson in buffalo guys

<3

gus is really like a pot of boiling water

ZERO Detroit first downs since Stafford was taken out.

he's been simmering for like half a quarter here... growling a little bit and such, but he's about to boil over now

come on bills!

delhomme w/ a chance for another absurd int

ok miami/buffalo is kind of entertaining in that.. waiting for horrible disaster right now

actually all roads lead to disaster for bills right now

there is no one i would want to lead a 2-min, 99 yard drive more than trent edwards.

foster just broke 200 yards

Matt Moore throws some Rivers-esque floating passes.

Are the Bills trying an onside free kick?

why did the panthers throw the ball three times when inside the 5

Cable fwd progress challenge...do you really want to prolong this? Really?

palomalu is so nasty

"foster just broke 200 yards"

yessir! i'm still scared of peyton even at the 2 min warning 'tho

Another TD form Foster!

from*

even announcers calling colts d out :o

football giants receivers need better hands imo

Kinda want the Bills to do this for Gus Johnson related reasons

Moore sucks.

"trent edwards has gotta throw the football somewhere!"

not if he doesn't snap the football, he doesn't!

This Falcons-Steelers game has been on all day and I have not even paid attention until everyone groaned at Jeff Reed shanking one just now. I wish Ade was here to suggest he was a homosexual or something.

Aww after both Moose and Siragusa demonstrated the Carolina front-office facepalm, talk then turned to the "Jimmy Clausen era"

This Detroit game is heartbreaking

Are they seriously claiming Jimmy Clausen has a shorter learning curve because of his time with Charlie Weis? Brady Quinn did not seem to be a savant, exactly.

lets go to the fox command center lolol

blocked punt!

I think Calvin Johnson is going to get busted on trying to celebrate before he got the catch done.

If not Chicago will burn!

Moore turns it over again.

good lord

is cool tho 2 hear mike pereirra analyze the review in real time

Ref from the bunker sez no!

looked like a TD to me

This Bears/Lions game has been kind of zany.

poor lions

boooooo

god i hate the bears

9 turnovers in this giants/panthers game

Giants/Panthers should be set to like old-timey Keystone Cops music.

lol kyle orton was just described as "elusive"

lions game very disappointing

giants-panthers is hilarious right about now

xxp yes i lol'd at that too

lol @ the twitters: "Matt Moore and the Panthers are desecrating 11 miles from Ground Zero."

Lions robbed.

matt moore is causing people to miss jake delhomme in carolina

feel like atl lost games like this all last season too

detroit lolions

Auspicious debut for the Jimmy Clausen era.

lol @ the twitters: "Matt Moore and the Panthers are desecrating 11 miles from Ground Zero."

lol

yeah, just watched the call on that calvin johnson catch again and that was wrong. dude clearly caught the ball and anything else is bs afaic imo.

Eagles rockin' the Harold Carmichael/Ron Jaworski threads today.

Packers could be wearing throw back jerseys and you could never tell.

Lions were definitely robbed. Officiating off to a brilliant start in 2010.

tbh Megatron should always be given the benefit of the doubt.

that green needs to come back full time

poor old st lolis

ugh, FOX sports - why did they stick with garbage time of panthers/giants?? missed the kickoff with packers/eagles!

I'm just glad Iggles aren't wearing those blinding yellow/blue things.

Rodgers sack!

kylol orton

INTERCEPTION!

yea i h8 everything abt the eagles but these unis are fresh

lol what "Randy Moss apparently came unhinged in post-game presser. We're tracking down the quotes."

this is per florio, who's been known to hype things out of proportion just a little bit......

yeah, we'll see...

the patsfans were kind of like UH randy moss stop talking
it's contract stuff, he's on the last year of his contract & not happy about it

whatever. <3 randy moss

randy moss doesn't have a twitters does he? i wish he did..

god i couldn't even imagine

"the blah blah blah and they gave me a license to blah" <- please stfu

now all the a-holes from boston sports media & know-it-all new england sports fans are gonna go on and on and on and on..

I hate it when they catch me with knee injury replays off guard. BARF.

catch me off guard, rather.

clearly no one prepared sam bradford for the massive step down in receiver quality in the nfl.

http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/3048/raaaaaaaandymoss.jpg

Mike Singletary is insane. how many fourth down tries are you going to do in one game?

love his hat

xpost

well the kevin kolb era is off to a raging start

Singletary will go for every fourthdown til he has a hearto or niners score TD.

so far seattle has run 7 plays

there is 6:23 left in the half

Game is being played in dog years

Ole man Hasselbeck gets a TD!!

WTG matty

hey it's mike williams!

See mike run
See mike throw

They should just go ahead and call this Eagles/Packers game on account of it decimating people's fantasy rosters.

lol

the combined QB ratings of rodgers & kolb is almost 100

Ryan Grant's pretty fast on one foot, damn.

Rogers cuteness shd give him higher rating imo

http://assets.espn.go.com/i/mag/blog/0714Freud.jpg

Lol

Seahawks TD again!

Tim Hasselbeck said Matt was going to have a good year, but who believes anything Tim Hasselback says?

Everytime I see Hasselbeck I think "We're gonna take the ball and we're gonna score!" from the Superbowl. Cheeky monkey

I think they will be chucking batteries at Kevin Kolb by halftime.

anyone got an image of the eagles jersey?

oh yeah these things are sweet

W/ red helmets they look like Christmas unis

Criminy that was a boot by Crosby, 56 yard field goal!

Eagles look pretty bad. Sometimes those offensive geniuses look pretty normal once they lose a key player.

also when they're playing the best team in the nfc

Since the Eagles are wearing those unis, maybe they could sneak Randall Cunningham out to the QB w/o the officials noticing.

i'm not having fun anymore :(

Packers best team in the NFC, hmmm, might have to think about that one. I don't think the Pack or Saints have done anything to swap that order around for me.

RAMS

facepalm.jpg @ 49ers

This must be a flashback to the Rich Kotite era Eagles team.

bradford td!

my brothers take on bradford: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCWz9U0MtoI

:((((((((((((((

Kolb: were the good performances last year the fluke or is today's dreadful performance the fluke? Anyone?

Criminy that was a boot by Crosby, 56 yard field goal!

that shit would have been good from 70

niners deserve all this after having the ball the whole 1st half and only getting 6 pts

Benny Hill music needed for 49ers now...

Crowd noise least of 49ers problems imo

what is wrong with chris johnson's voice?? have i somehow never heard him speak before or is he ill?

well, he is ill, BUT NOT IN THE WAY YOU MEAN

Kolb hit by battery, out for second half with concussion.

Mike Vick now the dude.

He be illin!

Charles Woodson is a beast.

"Michael cannot bring down Jackson" - actual call

:D

if vick has a huge half that'll make things fun around philly way

TD Seahwks. I think 49ers left the stadium after 1st half.

So do you think Singletary has lost his voice yet from all of the screaming at his team losing to Seattle?

the fighting pete carrolls!!

wait so what actually happened to kolb

Top Performers

Green Bay
A. Rodgers

18-26, 156 yds
1 TD, 1 INT

Philadelphia
M. Vick

1-1, 10 yds

someone put steven jackson on a real team

I honestly thought the 49ers would be good this year.

They're good on paper. Smith still seems like a weak link to me

i don't think singletary is actually a good coach

Vick has not lost his speed.

I think the Eagles are about to name Michael Vick as their starting QB.

singletary has that kind of mad aspect that belongs to either a genius or a crazy homeless dude, and i was assuming the former.

vick luvs playin the packers

Singletary definitely a stubborn dude. Not sure that's the same thing as tenacious.

I always figured Singletary is probably a big rah rah coach like Ditka, not really a guy that has some great offensive or defensive scheme ideas.
His success as a head coach is probably only as a good as his players and coaches will allow.

I think you're right.

did any niners players not come out after the half? he looks like the kind of dude that might try to motivate his team by singling someone out for a shame beating

Enough with Jimmy Johnson yipyap.

anyone have a stream link to eagles-packers?

try this site?

iraqgoals dot net

(for real)

i am watching redzone on atdhe (belated thanks to mordy)

well shoot i guess i better get on over to the stadium here..

DO I HAVE TO GET MY HELMET?

wait, wtf just happened at STL/AZ? why did that turnover come back?

is that ellis hobbs covering greg jennings? good luck philadelphia.

"covering"

lol the rams d linemen fumbled into the end zone, recovered by the cardinals for a touchback

oh ffs

Guys, the Browns lost and they should've won by thirty!!!!

Eldra Buckley stinks

larry fitzgerald is gonna quit football

oh well, not a great opening day. at least the bears won, i guess. not even sure tonight is worth tuning in for. is there really going to be two games on MNF this wk? would prefer that not become a thing since i don't have cable...

wow derek anderson must be in the running for worst qb to make the probowl.

wow derek anderson must be in the running for worst qb to make the probowl.

arizona could've made the super bowl w/ mcnabb
arizona could've won the division w/ delhomme
arizona could win 5 games with derek anderson

i can't remember anyone so inaccurate at 10 yards

lol @ all those eagles fans that couldn't wait to be free of mcnabb

kevin "the white tarvaris jackson" kolb

hahahahaha

from here on out, kevin kolb can only be referred to as "the white tervaris jackson" or wtj for short

^^this

I enjoy smiling Matt Hasselbeck

there have been 695 fumbles in the rams-cards game

Cards were actually driving with Anderson when that last one went down.

Isn't Manny a baseball-only name?

Kolb leaves and this game starts getting interesting. I really didn't want to root for Vick but...

How are there SO MANY cowboys fans in dc

Poor border control?

There was Manny Fernandez, who was a nut and one of the better defensive players on those 70s Dolphins teams.

There are a plague of Cowboy fans everywhere. LeBron James is a Cowboy fan, which says something.

holy shit @ at derek anderson

ANDERSON DEEP... AND HE HAS A MAN OPEN

*ball flutters and lands two yards in front of a retreating & diving WR*

damn, rams almost had this one

Timeout confusion with Andy Reid? How predictable!

Vick must realize that if he wins this game, the chance of getting a starting job (here or elsewhere) goes up tremendously.

and for his sake I hope he loses

mike vick has a 100+ qb rating and 100+ yards rushing, wtf year is this even

lolll the eagles trying to gain one yard

some things never change

btw i am actually clay matthews, you're welcome packers fans.

sigh

why, if you're gonna run vick, would you run him right up the middle & not outside

Dear Clay (Matthews):

Thank you bro. You are one of like four dudes who went to USC who I love, and today you showed why.

<3 4-eva,

C-L

PS: why, if you're gonna run vick, would you run him right up the middle & not outside was exactly what we were saying. But I was with two people from Wisconsin so we decided it was OK for that to be a mystery forever.

Hoping the Injuns come out and surprise and LAY WASTE to Dallas. I also hope I win the lottery.

u r very welcome C-L. thanks for the shoutout.

go trojanz.

Anytime my man. Fight on.

Redskins, I implore you...try to cream the Cowboys. Do it for America.

Love the shouted pregame interview. So enlightening

am I the only person not watching the VMA's? Where'd everybody go?

i will be watching both

watch McNabb kick Cowboy ass and make all of Philadelphia feel like shit

I am studying but with the TV on. I find Cowboys-Redskins to be kinda exhausting but I will do what I can, particularly if Sherms are involved.

Alright here we go!! UH

WHERE IS THE CHUNKY SOUP, DONOVAN'S MOM
