"I don't know who the f--- Anne Frank is." -- NFL WEEK 10 [2010]

Baltimore at Atlanta
Detroit at Buffalo
Minnesota at Chicago
NY Jets at Cleveland
Cincinnati at Indianapolis
Tennessee at Miami
Carolina at Tampa Bay
Houston at Jacksonville
Kansas City at Denver
Dallas at NY Giants
Seattle at Arizona
St. Louis at San Francisco
New England at Pittsburgh
Philadelphia at Washington

all i know is that dallas will lose.

proof: deion sanders, just now on nfln, on the dallas cowboys: "you can get fancier and fancier houses, but at some point, you gotta buy nicer furniture"

nice

Nice to know he's not completely useless as a commentator

deion is kind of genius as a commentator tbh, but there's a lot of bluster to cut through

That's the problem, my brain shuts off as soon as he starts...the LOUDNESS and the endlessness of it, find it hard to parse into useful analysis

Especially when they have him AND Michael Irvin on at the same time. It's like a black hole of bluster. Though Irvin is completely useless. I do see the glimmer of usefulness in Deion, much as I hate to admit it.

Seattle at Arizona

I hope this is blacked out nationwide.

haha

Our TVs will hopefully revolt if they don't black it out...some Seattle fan is like, "I don't get it, the guide says its on but the TV keeps switching the channel"

i think you could make a good case that that's the worst nfl match up in like the past thee years -- neither team has even had a string of terrible seasons to make them interesting like clev/buff/oak

also a challenge for this week: can anyone find a starting quarterback match up from the past three years worse than derek anderson vs charlie whitehurst

Actually, they probably cancel each other out. So mathematically, there IS no game

Old Man Hasselbeck will probably be back under center for Seattle, so I'll give them the edge. But still...YUCK.

is last year's week 16 match up of derek anderson (lol) vs charlie frye worse than derek anderson vs charlie whitehurst? i say no

also, are charlie frye & charlie whitehurst the same person?

WHISENHUNT: Derek Anderson says he's the quarterback, does that make any sense to you?

CARROLL: Some. I've just met Charlie Whitehurst. He's here with me now.

WHISENHUNT: Oh, wonderful, we have to get these two together.

Derek Anderson takes a slice of pizza, sniffs it and sticks it on his cheek

CARROLL: I think that would be extraordinarily dangerous.

Baltimore at Atlanta - RAVENS. This is on Thursday night, right? Not that that makes a difference, but I think I'll take the Ravens winning by a point or two on the road.
Detroit at Buffalo - BILLS? Depends on the Matthew Stafford situation, tbh. I'll finalize this later in the week.
Minnesota at Chicago - VIKINGS. I hate picking the goddamn Vikings.
NY Jets at Cleveland - BROWNS. Sure, why not.
Cincinnati at Indianapolis - COLTS. Because...wtf is wrong with you, Cincinnati!
Tennessee at Miami - MIAMI. Once again, I'm obligated to pick the Dolphins, but I'm more excited to see Randy Randy Randy Moss!
Carolina at Tampa Bay - BUCS. Panthers may as well just put unis on the hot dog and beer vendors. Same scoring potential.
Houston at Jacksonville - JAGS. Not that Jacksonville is great, but they seem to be pulling it together in a way I wasn't expecting based on their first few games.
Kansas City at Denver - CHEFS. Because...lol Broncos.
Dallas at NY Giants - GIANTS. Because...lol Dallas.
Seattle at Arizona - This game isn't happening. This game isn't happening. This game isn't happening.
St. Louis at San Francisco - RAMS. Der.
New England at Pittsburgh - STILLERS. I hope this game is fun to watch.
Philadelphia at Washington - IGGLES. I know this game will be fun to watch.

You're starting the Week 10 thread before week nine is even over?? LOL.

Dallas has a nice house and fine furniture. What they need is a good interior designer.

LMAO
click (seriously): http://www.dallascowboys.com

Dallas has a ridiculously huge house with go-go dancers

Can't believe the Chargers got a 2nd round pick for Whitehurst (which they subsequently squandered).

Who said that Anne Frank quote?

Irvin & Sanders are great together imo

Channing Crowder said the Anne Frank thing.

He was talking about the refs being blind and compared them to Stevie Wonder and Anne Frank, then realized he meant Helen Keller.

Hahahah

I can't let go of the Anne Frank thing.

Mike Holmgren or Andy Reid, sure. But "Girl with problems in mid-20th century?"

"I went after him, but he was missing like Eleanor Roosevelt."
"Who?"
"The missing girl? Amelia Earhart? I don't know who the fuck Eleanor Roosevelt is. I'm heated."

"Those refs out there treating me like Kitty Dukakis, all watching me get murdered and saying shit."

I know, save it for the Custos thread, but I can't help it.

i saw that call of duty: black ops ad people were talking about. definitely a little o_O to say the least.

So is Kevin Smith writing Channing Crowder's material now? There's a similar exchange in Clerks II, lol:

Dante Hicks: Have you become so embittered that you now feel the need to attack the handicapped?
Randal Graves: What handicap? They guy's just in a wheelchair, it's not like he's Anne Frank or something.
Dante Hicks: Anne Frank?
Randal Graves: Yeah, Anne Frank. The chick that was all duhhh, till the miracle worker showed up and knocked some smarts into her.
Dante Hicks: You're talking about Helen Keller.
Randal Graves: No I'm not, I'm talking about Anne Frank. She was deaf, dumb and blind.
Dante Hicks: No she wasn't. Helen Keller was deaf, dumb and blind.
Randal Graves: Are you sure?
Dante Hicks: Yup.
Randal Graves: Then who the fuck's Anne Frank?

LOL

You're kidding me.

For real

Feel like I've been played by a Kevin Smith fan. Never a good feeling.

I kinda feel like Carolina should give JaMarcus Russell a tryout.

i think it might be a good rule of thumb to not bother drafting notre dame qbs.

Has that worked at any time since Joe Montana?

Detroit at Buffalo DET
Minnesota at Chicago CHI
NY Jets at Cleveland NYJ
Cincinnati at Indianapolis IND

Seattle at Arizona AZ
St. Louis at San Francisco STL
New England at Pittsburgh PIT
Philadelphia at Washington PHI

Joe Montana
Rusty Lisch
Tim Koegel
Mike Courey
Blair Kiel
Ken Karcher
Jim O'Hara
Steve Seuerlein
Scott Grooms
Terry Andrysiak
Tony Rice
Rick Mirer
Kevin McDougal

Brady Quinn
Jimmy Clausen
Demetrius Jones
Evan Sharpley
Dayne Crist
Tommy Rees

it says something when the most successful notre dame QB post-montana is rick mirer.

i remember when mirer was coming out of ND and people were so fascinated by him, i even heard announcers gushing about how he bore a slight resemblance to montana so hey, he's gotta be a star! the 1-2 punch in the draft of bledsoe/mirer wasn't quite as hilarious as manning/leaf but it was good enough.

Wade Phillips has been canned, Jason Garrett is interim HC

CLASSIC

Just noticed that he has his initials monogrammed into his hoodie.

That's his dress-up hoodie (note the sleeves intact).

jason garrett is terrible though, right?

His "going out" hoodie? Lol

donovan looks super good in his post-game so there's that for him

xpost maybe like 2, doesn't take a nobel prize winner to figure out which 2

i'm thinking six (pats, colts, chargers, pack, saints, falcons) maybe 7 depending on how you feel about eli.

but who knows? vick looks unstoppable.

i guess i forgot about drew brees. everyone knows how i feel about eli and the giants were not one of those teams (i feel strongly about eli in case you didn't know)

i was allowing for potential scheft bias but i see it wasn't needed~

vick and brady were two of the best qb games ive seen in a while, kudos nfl weekend

it's pretty awesome i gotta say, i mean i think most nfl fans who loved watching vick like myself thought he was just gonna be a change of pace qb for some nfl team and maybe his peak years of excitement were forever gone. so it's just like this incredible bonus that he's come back like the best qb on the planet and totally just owning the game in a completely controlled manner. / mnf crew

otm

no i totally agree with this, i think everyone who has been around here a while has known i was a vick skeptic long before the dog situation but i guess spending some time in prison getting fat while reading marley and me and learning some lessons really helped him because damn dudes. point one out of negative a billion for the people who think prison is a rehabilatory service?

i sound v sarcastic but seriously i'm absolutely impressed with THIS GUY michael flick

Those highlights made me all, godammit stupid godamn movie >:(
because I was all whoa, dog boy is astroboy holy fucking shit

Always liked to watch him play but that was next level craziness

i realize upthread i said "andy reid" and "genius" in the same sentence but i totally meant it w/r/t this situation. i think he's a vv good coach and creates some pretty excellent offensive schemes and vick is just thriving in them. and i feel good for vick b/c i think while he did this vile thing he also seems to have changed into a completely different person and i hope that's the case.

yeah i said this a few weeks back or w/e but i really can't hate vick -- he did something really stupid & disgusting but he did his time & as far as anyone can tell has turned into a fine member of society -- also he's an incredibly fun player to watch

andy reid is a really, really good coach & personnel guy -- he & their GM should be getting huge praise for being able to create pretty much a completely new nucleus on the fly while also somehow improving the team? like, that's incredibly hard to do & the weapons on that offense are just crazy -- of course the vick thing as well

Yeah, at first I wasn't sure that a healthy McCoy was a suitable replacement for a healthy Westbrook, but the rushing game has thrived, especially since they brought in Jerome Harrison. And we already knew about Jackson and Maclin. And those are just the offensive skill players. That defense is looking pretty bolted down too.

yeah, not to mention that they had one of the best d coordinators in the nfl get sick & die pretty quickly

i guess i should say "pretty suddenly"

Reid should get a lot of credit for developing guys like Vick and McNabb and being the guy who helps them use their *desire* to be great in practical ways. I think him and Holmgren have a similar teacherly, fatherly quality that really goes a long way with the right guys.

And I'd like to think having a mentor like Dungy helped Vick immeasurably. I want that book to get written.

I'd like to think a preening jesus freak like Dungy didn't help Vick at all.

Seriously?

Of course. It's better he go back to running a dog fighting ring than read a bible verse or something.

Insane sociopath convicted of animal abuse- how can I help him get back in the league?

Gay football player- Hrrrmmmm. I guess I'd be ok with that, if he was good, but I'd have to talk with him about the bible.

Andy Reid strikes me more as a "just win baby" kind of guy.

Welp, I didn't get that impression o guess. Of Reid or Dungy. Or I'm not cranky enough this late in the evening to argue

OTM - as a Falcons fan its agonizing to see what he looks like with great coaching like this, but OTOH it's pretty vindicating considering how long I was a Vick apologist.

fuck this guy i am putting him on my madden team as soon as i get home tonight

always gonna be my least favorite player but holy shit

gotta say i love that two days after signing that megadeal the headline on an espn sidebar news story is "Source: McNabb due just $3.75M if released"

yeah as a falcons fan who hoped vick would one day rule the earth, i'm still unconvinced. he always abused vulnerable defenses (although he rarely got as abusive as last night) but struggled against the good defensive teams like the bucs. i mean, so far this has been a typical vick season -- some great games, an injury that knocks him out for a few and the yet to happen rough game against complex, speedy defense.

fortunately for him there's no great D in the nfc. i would love to see a nfc championship game of falcons-philly in the georgia dome.

C'mon, typical Vick season? It's only 6 games, but there's no other stretch in his career where he's played anywhere near this well. That 62.7% completion percentage is godly for him. And zero picks, and only 2 fumbles? I wish we got more of this 'typical Vick' during the Mora years!

Also, I literally can't think of a single matchup I'd hate more than that. Falcons vs. The 53 Hitlers would go down easier for me. The Eagles always outcoach us and badly... I can handle the Falcons getting demolished by anyone else, but one annual asskicking from Philly is the most I can take.

i dunno i think we could handle them at home. and yeah i agree, vick never played quite this well but i need to see him against an actual good defense and not that shit the redskins put out there last night or any of the other teams he's played so far.

fortunately for him there's no great D in the nfc

giants d is actually pretty good huh?

Yeah the Giants D has been very good. Have they played yet?

feel like the 53 hitlers would have a solution for vick

next sunday xpost

Eagles' receiver DeSean Jackson: "The pregame altercation got us going. It had us ready. We came back into the locker room pumped. We were like pit bulls, ready to get out of the cage."

haaaaaaa

Fat Albert is fat.

53 hitlers vs 99 red balloons

tbh if i was albert haynesworth at that point in the game i would've been all "yeah fuck this" too

tsk tsk tsk (lol/joeks)

Mike S.: Had four cans of loko and offered a 5 year extension to Donovan McNabb. Thanks Loko.
