Stop Showing Brett Favre Being Joyous In Slow Motion!!! - WEEK NINE 2009

Arizona at Chicago* → This is going to be a very close, very boring game. Chicago might capitalize on a Warner INT and just eek out a win at home.
Detroit at Seattle* → Detroit, after losing to St. Louis, is dead to me. I hope Seattle does to them what they did to the Jaguars a few weeks ago. Shut out.
Baltimore at Cincinnati* → Before the Ravens stuffed Denver last week, I wouldn't have thought this would be so close. I'm still picking the Bengals at home, but it's definitely not a sure thing.
Houston at Indianapolis* → The Colts will lose some game this season, but it's not going to be this week.
Green Bay* at Tampa Bay → If Green Bay just repeats their losing performance from last week, it will be a winning performance in Tampa.

A more respectable 9-4 last week, 80-36 on the season.
Kansas City at Jacksonville* → The Jags weren't exactly sharp in Tennessee, but I think the Chiefs come off a bye even crappier than before.
Miami at New England* → I love seeing Miami unexpectedly embarrass the Pats every once in a while, but I'm not counting on it happening this time.
Washington at Atlanta* → Me and ten ilx0rs could beat Washington by two touchdowns and a field goal this Sunday, so this should be extraordinarily easy for Atlanta.
Tennessee at San Francisco* → Tennessee got things clicking last week, but a repeat performance will be hard against a 49ers team that got *this* close to upsetting the Colts.
Carolina at New Orleans* → Delhomme's 1-game no interception streak comes to an end in New Orleans. They're already doing a money pool in the locker room.
San Diego* at New York Giants → Even traveling all the way across the continent with a craptastic defense, the Bolts are capable of handing the Giants a fourth embarrassing loss in a row.
Dallas at Philadelphia* → I like a combination of Desean Jackson and the Philly D to knock a rolling Dallas down a peg.
Pittsburgh at Denver* → Even considering how bad Denver looked last week, I think they get back on track at Invesco and beat a hit-or-miss Steeler team.

A more respectable 9-4 last week, 80-36 on the season.

Browns fire GM, rumor has it BERNIE KOSAR is going to be the replacement

really???

not really, surely.

In the bankruptcy filing in June, Kosar listed $1.5 million in debt owed the Browns.

its like working off a dinner check by washing dishes i think is the browns logic here

that is the rumor - Bernie was hired recently by the browns as a consultant so it kinda fits

yeah lol the cleveland browns as debtor prison is about right

OMG BROWNIE SO EXCITED!!

I don't think it's going to happen tbh. Bernie has taken some shots to the head but still

I am happy to have been quoted for the thread title but sad that it had to involve Brett Favre.

I cannot pick football game to save my life, but uh, I would guess the Falcons, Packers, and Saints will probably win. More importantly there are like five games I am totally amped to watch, so the real winner this week will probably be me.

lots of tough picks this week imo

Arizona at Chicago → cards
Detroit at Seattle → seahawks, on homefield alone

Arizona at Chicago → cards
Detroit at Seattle → SEA

Arizona at Chicago – Arizona is consistent at being inconsistent. They definitely have the tools, but who knows how they will do week to week. The Bears are getting pretty nicked up on defense and their offensive line is just not very good now. I think it is a hard call, but I will take the Bears out of stubbornness more than any real indication that they should win.
Detroit at Seattle – Ugly and fugly here, I’d think with all of the injuries to the Seahawk line it might keep it closer than you expect, but there is no way I would take the Lions to win on the road in Seattle at this point.
Baltimore at Cincinnati – One thing is sure about the AFC Central is that no matter who is playing, the fans hate each other. I really want to believe the Bengals will win, but I cannot be enough of a homer, so I will take the Ravens.
Houston at Indianapolis – The Texans have actually played the Colts fairly tough and either lost or won in the last second a couple of times. If it was in Houston, I would probably take the Texans but I will take the Colts to stay undefeated.
Green Bay at Tampa Bay - Tampa looked pretty poor when I saw them play a bit and it doesn’t look improved. I’d sure hope that the Packers could win this one, but you never know.
Kansas City at Jacksonville – The Jags have to be pretty deflated losing to the Titans last week. I’d have to think that Jville will be able to run on KC and that should be enough to pick up a W.
Miami at New England – I want to take the Dolphins as I just think they are kind of cool and I hate the Pats, but I have to think NE is going to win.
Washington at Atlanta – If the Falcons have any playoff dreams, they better not lose this kind of game. Falcons it is.
Tennessee at San Francisco – SF has a pretty decent defense. I got a feeling this will be a close game, but the Niners still could win their division and might have a gotten a bit of a psychological lift even in a tough loss last week. I’ll take SF. Considering how far he slid, I would like to see Vince Young have a different story from here out, as the guy was a hell of an exciting player at one point.
Carolina at New Orleans – At this point you pick the Saints until they prove them selves wrong. The Panthers can’t win this one by just “NOT PASSING” at all, which has kind of worked a bit in the last few weeks. Saints should march on undefeated.
San Diego at New York Giants - It looks like teams are scorching the Giants in the passing game and the Chargers seem to have had a bit of life. I’m taking the Giants as they have screwed me the past few weeks and I hope they are not in free fall yet. This is probably a good game.
Dallas at Philadelphia – I’ll take the Eagles in Philly, but as good as they did against the Giants you just never know who is going to show up. I’m not drinking the Dallas kool aid yet until they win a game or two like this one.
Pittsburgh at Denver – I’ll take the Steelers coming off the bye, but this should be a good game.

There is a bunch of interesting matchups and I agree it is a hard week to call.

Last week 11-2, for the season 81-35.

ESPN Through Week 8
Allen 73-43
Golic 77-38
Hoge 79-37

lack of chuckie/mouthpiece title = largely bullshit imo

Mouthpiece suggestion came at the same time I was constructing this thread/post. I didn't see it! xp

haha j/k jfeva

cankles = gifmaster

todd haley is seriously my favorite dude in the world these days

Miami Dolphins linebacker Jason Taylor, exultant over collecting a fumble and returning it 48 yards for a touchdown Sunday against the New York Jets, looked for the appropriate way to express himself.

Taylor greeted his trailing teammates then spun and fired the ball at the Jets logo on the wall behind the end zone.

"To score a touchdown in New York against the Jets in the last time I'll be in the hellhole they call a stadium up there before they get rid of it and move to the new one," Taylor said, "it was outstanding."

<3 u Jason Taylor

After putting in a lot of extra offseason work with quarterback Tony Romo, Williams is stunned they haven't made more progress.

"It's just not even close," Williams said. "It's not even funny. Not even close."

Williams does not believe his poor production accurately portrays his performance.

"I'm the No. 1 receiver," Williams said. "But things are just going No. 2's way."

god just stfu roy williams--you are a terrible player--why anyone even reports on you is beyond me.

why anyone even reports on you is beyond me

"As you probably know already, sharks are pretty well suited to this whole predation thing. They have excellent hearing in the low frequencies and can pick out the sound of something thrashing around in the water well over 1,000 feet away. They're also outfitted with sensory cavities called the ampullae of Lorenzini, which register the faint electrical fields generated by living bodies. And then there's the shark's sense of smell, which though not quite as phenomenal as was once believed (you used to see a stat claiming that 70 percent of a shark's brain was devoted to olfaction, which seems to have been a real overstatement) is still plenty acute: sharks can detect some chemicals at concentrations of around one part per 25 million, and experts claim they've seen sharks go nuts over a single drop of blood in a 2,000-gallon tank."

jason taylor whipping the ball into the jets logo was the most amazing fucking thing ever

what it brandon jacobs who launched the ball into the play clock at the old cowboys stadium? that was amazing

yes, that was brandon

also i cannot stop cracking up at that KC sign

wordplay

ha

http://www.firejoshmcdanielsnow.com/

check out their new modus operandi

about as good a recovery as could be expected

i kinda love that it doesn't matter who the "#1" receiver in dallas is, because he'll just end up dissing tony romo publicly and mercilessly.

ok i just need to go brush my teeth, i'm getting pissed off

time to revive/restart NFL THE MOVIE thread, maybe?

ok is this actually eli?

http://campussqueeze.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/elimanning.jpg

I am just saying GB's Quarterback got to kill Nazis this summer while NYG's had a terrible beard in some movie about hipsters with feelings.

eli?!

Yeah I don't know what to make of that photo up there.

u asked with ur eyes ;)

peyton's body looks exactly like that so i'm pretty sure that's eli

i just snorted at "u asked with ur eyes"

fwiw when people photoshop they don't usually pick a body with a pair of jeans, so it's prob def eli

are they ever gonna stop playing "exit sandman"? rivera is not going to show up, no matter how much jaws and gruden keep asking for him.

ahem enter sandman

i'm not sure if i understand what is worng with his body in "springsteen.jpg" up there

omg sorry cankles u r rite. i'm drunk!

haha exit sandman isn't v badass actually is it?

If the Steelers fumble this away and the Broncos end up winning somehow does that make them Brad Lidge?

look at that! half the goddamn stadium is steeler fans!

ha i think i just lost 2 brownie in the ilnfl league from that!

damn u smiling hines!

he was smiling in mid-jump

The Broncos are supposed to be like a really loyal home crowd too, aren't they? I think if the Steelers play at like Jacksonville that should count as a home game for Pittsburgh.

hahaha that graphic! fuck you bradshaw and swann! you might lead in super bowls, but we lead in receptions, smiles, and rapes!

Also motorcycle accidents.

BLADOW

Holy shit that hit!

i'm not sure if i understand what is worng with his body in "springsteen.jpg" up there

idk it's just so average!

xp WOW

I would pay $100 American dollars if after one of those hits one of the announcers went like, "So guys did you read that Malcolm Gladwell article in the New Yorker the other week where he compared the NFL to dogfighting?"

ha and i just beat brownie w/ that pick! ty kyle orton

lol i googled jay cutler and this headline showed up on google news: "Cutler, Rodgers great on paper, low on wins"

btw the first GIS result for eli is a treat :D

average is good. ladies are creeped out by musclebound white dudes in my experience.

xpost i want more hank williams? because i will not be seeing them next week for "baltimore v cleveland" as if that is a thing that exists.

xxxp YES i will pony up $ to hear that too

yeah i know v few broads who are into super swole dudes

mostly it's other dudes who think women should be into those dudes

kinda like how only women think maggie gyllenhall is attractive

hahahaha that's a good comparison

oh that is so true XD

i mean, lol for real here. i love maggie gyllenhaal! C MON MAN

I do quite enjoy looking at Maggie Gyllenhaal.

she's gonna end up looking like joe lieberman

so they just said that ben roethlisberger is "as cool as the other side of the pillow"...??? that was interrupted by steve young yelling about something to do with steve young's insecurity so i didn't get a good explanation of what that meant. did they run out of metaphors? "ice? no...too obvious. ice cream? no, cos what if it is melted? bitches? too edgy...ok pillows. pillows, like if you turn it over and it's the other side and it's not quite as warm...that is roethlisberger"

well uh, was "they" stu scott? cuz that's kind of his signature catchphrase

re: "as cool as the other side of the pillow" - that's one of stuart scott's most weathered cliches

btw, this is my favorite username/avatar combo on this other board i post on:

http://i34.tinypic.com/2dihzsm.jpg

yes it was stu scott BUT WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? for serious? that's my point here that is important, that an the fact that steve young will just start yelling about how shit sucks and fuck you and his family don't even care and etc.

lmao @ that

also that avatar/name combo is lolz IRL

I can't believe you scrubs let me take 2nd place this week in the picks

oh god we all did that badly?

the other side of the pillow is cool! i always flip my pillow if i cant fall asleep and it's too hot!

that's so lame

Yeah, I took 2nd place with a rousing 69 points, lol

half the goddamn stadium is steeler fans!

woooooooo
