My rowdy friends are no longer ready for Monday Night: 2011 Week 5 thread

Noon games:

Tennessee at Pittsburgh
Seattle at NY Giants
Cincinnati at Jacksonville
New Orleans at Carolina
Oakland at Houston
Philadelphia at Buffalo
Kansas City at Indianapolis
Arizona at Minnesota

Afternoon games:
Tampa Bay at San Francisco
NY Jets at New England
San Diego at Denver

Hey Jack, it's a fact:
Green Bay at Atlanta

This whole house used to be rockin':
Chicago at Detroit

Sitthing at home, wanking it:
Cleveland, Dallas, St. Louis, Miami, Washington, Baltimore

Lots of potentially interesting games as the Steelers and Eagles need wins this week vs. two of 2011's "better than expected" teams (Titans and Bills). Bears suddenly a must-win vs. the apparently unbeatable Lions. Packers going to try to embarrass the Falcons in their own stadium again. Vikings try to prove they aren't the worst team in the league by attempting to ride Donny McNabb to a victory in the Metrodome. And best of all, a Jets/Patriots game that Rex will either squeak by or lose by 40 to remain at 1 win on the season that wasn't gifted by Tony Romo. ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL!?

12-4 last week, 61-19 for the season

Lots of too-close-to-call games this week. I hope I make it out of Survival football alive, though pinning my hopes on the Chargers in the past has proven fatal. May switch to the Gints, but that's also risky. Anyway...

TITANS by a nose
GINTS because #lolseattle
BENGALS
SAINTZ
RAIDERS
BILLS
COLTS (!)
CARDS
49ERS
PATS
SUPERCHARGERS
PACK
L I O N S 4 E V A

I was in fucking Vegas last week and forgot to bet on my Yahoo picks.

I went 13-3.

Stupid fucking me.

Can you make picks in Vegas on W/L rather than lines?

you can bet the moneylines but those are pretty brutal if you're just picking favorites

my team will not lose this week.

when the dolphins have a bye, it's really all of you -- the fans -- who lose.

you know what? i take it back. we can lose this week.

what the hell? for a non-throwing shoulder?

we want andrew luck.

apparently the dolphins worked out david garrard but are NOT going to sign him?

is he actively sabotaging his career? i really don't get it. is he like 15 pounds overweight? it's the only explanation

how great would it be if McNabb got benched and was replaced by David Garrard

10-6 last wk; 44-20 for the season

Tennessee at Pittsburgh - curious abt tennessee, tough 2 take them @ pitt but i will
Seattle at NY Giants - nyg
Cincinnati at Jacksonville - j-ville
New Orleans at Carolina - carolina
Oakland at Houston - texans
Philadelphia at Buffalo - phily
Kansas City at Indianapolis - kc
Arizona at Minnesota - zona
Tampa Bay at San Francisco - buccs
NY Jets at New England - pats
San Diego at Denver - bolts
Green Bay at Atlanta - atl, high scoring
Chicago at Detroit - lions

is he actively sabotaging his career? i really don't get it. is he like 15 pounds overweight? it's the only explanation

Did you see him in the preseason? He was atrocious.

the dolphins are about to start matt moore for the rest of the season

I also remember reading that Garrard wants a lot of money.

well apparently he turned down whatever the dolphins offered him (may not have been much tbf). i get the sense he might be done with football unless he gets something really attractive?

is he actively sabotaging his career? i really don't get it. is he like 15 pounds overweight? it's the only explanation

what are you even talking about? we have matt moore. everything's fine.

honestly what is carson palmer doing with his days now? handball w/ jake plummer?

whackin' it

w/ $80 mil in the bank i would hope he were at least knocking down tiger woods-level waitresses. meh i guess you can do that and also beat off

the better question is, what is his brother up to

honestly what is carson palmer doing with his days now?

Being held captive by the Bengals.

you know, I can think of teams in Indiana and Florida that might like to have Carson Palmer right now

i understand why the bengals are being stubborn on this issue, and now that andy dalton looks at least passable palmer has no leverage to return, even if he wants to -- but there's also barely any trade market right now for him bcuz teams like the dolphins and the colts aren't going to give up a good pick + pay palmer's salary when they're already 0-4

palmer has been truly dire for at least a couple seasons now.

The situation doesn't look good now, but I'm sure there were plenty of teams willing to pay his salary at the beginning of the year. I really don't understand the Bengals on this one - it looks like they're paying him but not releasing him out of spite, which means they don't care about winning...?

I guess we weren't ready for some football after all

end of an era

boooooooooooooooo!!!!

now we just have to get faith hill to say something stupid and we're golden

Always hated that song; glad it and he are gone.

hey Jack, it's a fact, Bush did 9/11

lol

can they maybe go with the black-eyed peas, i gotta feeling, instead?

everybody loves taht song.

you can add one more idiot to the gang who doesn't know "the Toes of The First Amendment Freedom of Speech" are government-related only.

no fuckin way is that no-talent shit Hank's son btw

10-6 last week, 39-25 on the year

Tennessee at Pittsburgh TN
Seattle at NY Giants NYG
Cincinnati at Jacksonville CIN
New Orleans at Carolina NO
Oakland at Houston HOU
Philadelphia at Buffalo BUF tho this is where they usually start to fall apart
Kansas City at Indianapolis KC Indianapolis may be shut out
Arizona at Minnesota MN, I think. They have to win at some point TRAP GAME
Tampa Bay at San Francisco SF
NY Jets at New England NE y'all musta forgot
San Diego at Denver SDSC

Green Bay at Atlanta GBP

Chicago at Detroit DET why not

Also I object to the format of the initial game-list post.

I am so stoked not to have to hear Hank Williams Jr doin that fuckin song any more & I'm 45-19 on the year so you gotta know I'm right

I will lol if they replace him with Ke$ha

always hated that hank williams song. i'm 38 -- 10 overall on the year, but 4 -- 0 predicting dolphins games, so i am 79% sure i am 100% right about this.

ke$ha has rowdy friends, at least thats what she wants you to believe

i think they should go with sigur ros now

i'm hoping for black moth super rainbow.

or animal collective.

If I ever turn on a Monday night game and hear "ITCHY WOOOOO" I don't know if I will achieve apotheosis or spontaneously combust, or if there would even be a difference between the two

probably gonna be Toby Keith (shit)

oh baby

OH MEGATRON YOU DOG

"and meriweather can't tackle him"

(ask the pats fans about that)

ok lions, just do that on every series until the bears stop you (loool)

i kinda hate sports science

sports science is dumb, you can tell they all think it's dumb too

sports science real-world analogies are bonkers.

honestly, i think i could catch a bunch of balls inside a two car garage idk

the information that he can jump high enough to catch a football that is 8+ feet in the air is interesting but that's about it

i thought the bears traded greg olsen bcuz martz never used a TE?

hester you have to catch that

p impressed by cutler on this drive

do not throw it to devin hester :-(

this game is going to be awesome in the second half when the lions wake up as usual, right?

shit is like an #OccupyDetroit rally in the bears backfield tonight

http://oi53.tinypic.com/mj4g11.jpg

hehehehehe

lol merriweather

would be nice having those timeouts right now...

what's happened to meriweather, he was a good player on the pats in 09

When Tirico mentioned Detroit's victory over Dallas last week, I thought "That was last week?! Seems like nine years ago." This was a longer week than I realized.

lol @ fan with megatron mask
nice

LIONS

nice angle meri

sucks not having cable :/

calvin needs another TD come on

every time jahvid best touches the ball he either runs for 2 yards or 85 yards right? not just my imagination?

nah that's about right

god outside of like 5 plays this game has been so dumb

poor Cutler

yeah this has been ugly

needs more megatron

actually Cutler is having a pretty good game, not his fault his line is completely terrible

i just feel bad because he's getting beat up so badly

cutler should get a tax break for having to play behind this line

exactly

every time jahvid best touches the ball he either runs for 2 yards or 85 yards right? not just my imagination?

otm

i know it's def not cutler's fault. how long has the bears oline been bad? seems like it's been bad for like 5 years at least?

yeah i don't even get it

i think its the martz philosophy

cutler should get a tax break for having to play behind this line

This is tweet gold -- yours?

AFAIK

big, thick, good-lookin' athletes

lol, yes I caught that

your favorite homoerotic sports announcing

my favorite homoerotic sports announcing is mayock and deion doing the nfl draft combine. "look at those bubble butts"

chucky. every week there's something like that

that was the second one! he had nice things to say after the big run about jahivid's "powerful lower... legs"

In the spirit of this thread title, here is a Hank Williams Jr. song I just listened to:
