Gumbel/Collinsworth are pretty entertaining, Fake Dirty Vicar.
how did the Browns wind up with ATL’s receivers last night
pathetic.
The Browns are the next Arizona Cardinals, forever doomed.
is there a more pathetic, useless running back than reuben droughns? just asking.
Droughns is a pretty solid fullback, but I have no idea why people think he can play running back. Next year, though: Adrian Peterson? McFadden?
yes, drafting a RB in first round is a must, Droughns is just average at best and can’t run outside.
On top of that the Browns need an o-line (LeCharles Bentley looks to be gone for next season as well) and some sort of pass rush.
they can’t defend against the run either and their secondary has one starter remaining. Starting CB Gary Baxter snapped BOTH his patella tendons on the same play. move the team to LA, it’s over
Poor Crennel. :(
Droughns is a good player if you match him up with a fast scat back type player.
I wonder how that 5–7 back Garrett Wolfe from Northern Illinois will do in the pros. Joe Morris did pretty good for the Giants back in the 80s. I’ve seen Parcells say that Morris’ size was actually a benefit as he would get “lost” behind the linemen and then was a hard target to hit as his center of gravity was so low.
I like the games on the NFL network. At least they are only trying to sell me on watching more football instead of some crap show Fox has the announcers hawking every two downs. Collinsworth is much better at working a game than being one of those guys in a studio. Collinsworth does actually pick up some pretty good game situation obervations. Anything is better than that MNF abomination crew, if you listen to them, you won’t even know they are watching a football game.
Benching Droughns this week as he earned 3.83 points = rare good move on my part.
hey do you guys know ben utecht? we were buddies in high school!
well, he’s the colts TE dude now that dallas clark is out. that’s about all i know about him.
as i’ve said a zillion other times, i knew rick proehl (from the st. louis rams) from my high school days.
That game was just sad, sad, sad. O-line problems, receivers that can’t catch a cold, and poor pass rushing. They need help everywhere. In the draft I’d go for some o-line or pass rush help first.
“as i’ve said a zillion other times, i knew rick proehl (from the st. louis rams) from my high school days.”
DUDE... how old are you??
“(LeCharles Bentley looks to be gone for next season as well)”
whoa when was this announced?
I didn’t really watch the game, but in the one snippet I caught collinsworth was talking up ted washington and how he’s ALL THE BROWNS NEED for run defense. i thought that was funny in light of FWP’s 9,000 yards or whatever. also lol @ K2’s cheapshot.
That was the worst broadcasting of any game I’ve ever seen. WHO the FUCK ever got the ridiculous idea that the laid-back Bryant Gumbel would make a good play-by-play man? And when Marshall Faulk was doing the sideline reporting about some stupid shit right at the exact moment that a big 20-yd play happened. I just wanted to shout, “By the way people, there is a football game going on.”
And yes, the Browns still suck. How the hell did they beat the Chiefs last week?
Why the hell would the Browns draft a running back when they don’t even have an offensive line? I don’t care how good a running back you are. If you don’t have a line, you’re nothing (adieu, Edgerrin James).
aidsy: i am 36. proehl graduated 2 years ahead of me.
CARSON PALMER CORNHOLE CLASSIC
Titans at Houston. . .that was some great damn football.
Congratulations to Come Frye With Me and all their supporters, goodbye playoffs :(
man, the Saints’ offense is fun to watch.
um, wow
also: lol @ Al Michaels reading NFL teams the riot act for game-break pryo
Hi. WTF did Reggie Bush just do to space and time?
John Madden wants to marry Reggie Bush.
(also, lol at Micheals and Madden going out for steak and potatoes after the game.)
That jersey comment was funny though.
You got to love the Saints.
Karney, wtf?
On-side kick, WTF?!
Sean Payton, Coach of the Year.
Holy moly!
dudes, Henderson TD!!! poor Bill Parcells. I can’t look at him.
He’s got that constipated look Don Coryell used to have all the time.
Man, New Orleans has to run an entire quarter off the clock. Who wants to blow shit up worse, Parcells or Al Michaels?
This is awkward.
also awkward: the phrase “anointing oil.”
MIKE KARNEY, FOLK HERO
that was maybe the awesomest game of the year. I am mystified by the dueling kneeldowns at the end end when just a little earlier they went for the onside while UP EIGHTEEN POINTS. But still, MIKE FUCKING KARNEY HOLY SHIT.
also wtf @ strahan subway commercial

err
OMG what if the Chargers face the Saints in the Super Bowl? Brees vs. Rivers! LT/Turner vs Bush/Deuce! The best TE in football against the best TE-eligible in football! Beaches vs. bayou!
Not that this will actually happen, but O! the storylinez.
I am mystified by the dueling kneeldowns at the end end when just a little earlier they went for the onside while UP EIGHTEEN POINTS.
I think the Saints kneeldowns with 3+ minutes to go were as much an “I’M IN UR STADIUM, CRUSHING UR WINDPIPE” as the onside kick was. It was like watching a cat bat a mouse around for 20 minutes before killing it.
Also the reverse on 4th and one.
that reverse was badass. I mean, it almost didn’t work, but whoa.
the Strahan commercial mystified me. I caught that during the Giants game, what the hell?
Also: why is the Super Bowl halftime show this year Prince??
And you would prefer...
kitty halftime show
Also this was the first week I picked the Giants’ opponents in our pick ’em league. FUCK U 2 GIANTS.
that’s what you get, FOOTBALL JUDAS.
Off-topic: anyone see that the country-fried gurl in the newish MAN LAW ad is JEWEL?
Haha you watch football on television.
Don’t CHEESE me off, Matt!
aidsy, Bentley had a staph infection after his surgery which delayed the healing time and now he has to have the knee re-operated on. It was uncertain whether he was going to be ready for the season opener before all these setbacks so, at best, he’ll be lucky to play next season.
bjork should be on the man law commercials
If that’s Jewel then she’s lost a helluva lot of unnecessarily lost weight.
btw lol @ indy! though I am bitter that Jax didn’t beat them the first time when I defiantly declared that Indy was in for a hellacious rapin’.
the pats actually have a shot at losing the division to the jets. lol.
Ally, you underestimate the likelihood that Prince is going to wander onstage with Kitties For Jesus.
I work with someone who is declaring Philly NFC East victory, I really had to try hard not to just fall down laughing and pissing myself. It’s like O RLY.
i had to lol lol lol @ tony romo yesterday. i was already getting sick of him.
romo + t.o. vs brees and bush and colston and devery and DEUCE and MIKE “WTF” KARNEY, that’s not even a contest. though i have to lol at myself for getting sick of julius jones and benching him and then watching him rumble for a 77 yd TD.
Oh man Payton so pwned Parcells. Dallas was looking for Colston, Bush, etc. and got schooled by Karney who never touches the ball ever. If Payton doesn’t win coach of the year there should be a re-count. Also isn’t this looking like one of the best rookie classes in a long time.

what is so ridiculous about this prediction? jeff garcia has looked pretty good these past few games — and the rest of their offense is still strong and healthy!
yeah, honestly I think the eagles have as much of a shot as dallas at this point. they’re only one game behind them, and after next week’s humbling defeat at the hand of the falcons the boys’ season will be OVAH
prince halftime show is gonna be AWESOME. c’mon you have to be more stoked for this than the stones or mccartney. i wouldn’t be shocked if we saw some nip too!
>=0 at ‘nym for nabbing Pinner before I could!
“this is where it becomes apparent how terrifyingly good Chicago’s special teams are”
i’m amending this to ‘head-explodingly awesome’. hester ftw!
Muhammu

re: Philly, they didn’t exactly beat the Redskins in a convincing manner, and if you can’t beat the Redskins convincingly and you expect to be a playoff team...well...haha I guess that makes you the Colts but seriously they are in third place (one out of the ‘Boys and they lose the tie breaker with the Giants) and play both of those teams on the road the next two weeks. It’s basically batshit insane to think they’ll win all three of their next three games (hahaha they’ll definitely beat the Falcons though).
re: Chicago, is there like a new rule this season that the Chicago defense can do WHATEVER THEY WANT all of the time?? I don’t think I’ve actually watched a game of theirs (admittedly this is only a few games) where I thought anyone besides Hester looked totally awesome?? The pass interferences going on last night that weren’t getting called made me mad enough I just sat off and read cookbooks instead of bothering with listening to fucking Kornhole shriek like a three year old girl with a My Little Pony over the fact that “THIS IS PRACTICALLY LIKE SOLDIER FIELD!!! ARE THE RAMS FANS DEAD OUT THERE? OMG WTF!! TEE HEE!” I’m kind of psyched for the inevitable complete Colts-style playoff collapse with this team because I’m with Denny Green at this point in the season.
Tho Philly will probably still make it as a wild-card team, what with everyone else in the NFC being godawful for some reason.
also dudes
^^^ this making me think “Bill Belichick”, why?
the bucket represents Vinny Testaverde
It needs the hoodie!
There are some big dollar odds makers that have to be in a complete panic when setting the odds heading into the playoffs. I have no clue who is going to win this thing, as even the good teams have some serious flaws.
That Cincy and Indy game this weekend should be fun to watch. The Bengals defense has played well in the past three weeks, but I think it will end up a video game score.
Wasn’t the last Cincy/Indy game something like 128–109?
i can’t stand joey porter but i love this quote: “I didn’t mean to offend nobody but Kellen Winslow. Pretty much, that’s it about that.”
More people should use that excuse.
two things i love about the quote: 1. deliberately trying to offend kellen winslow will always earn you points with me and 2. the (what i’m assuming is unintended) use of the double negative implies that he in fact was trying to offend everyone.
At this point in his career, Winlsow has been pwned so many times by so many people and events that you just wish he’d take it all to heart and shut up.
the pats cut doug gabriel!
yeah, he really hasn’t played in a month. i’d heard he sulked after getting benched for fumbling against the jets and that didn’t sit well with bb so he kicked him to the curb.
I wonder if Kellen Sr. ever thinks, “huh, my son is a piece of shit.”
i’ll be disappointed if he doesn’t.
I wonder similarly about Mike & Marcus Vick.
Seriously what in the world with Tom Brady all of sudden trumping Vick by 1000x in the Being A Totally Sore Unprofessional Loser On TV rating
“WELL ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS THAT THEY ARE 6–7 AND WE ARE 9–4 SO YOU SMARTIES TELL ME WHO IS THE BETTER TEAM!!! WAAAA WAAA WAAA”
It’s like, uh, the team that won is the better team LOL LOL go cry into ur porn collection ;_;
I did like Saban’s response, being all like, UH yes we watched video tapes of the Patriots before the game, WTF are you guys even talking about, maybe next time we just won’t show up, that will make Brady not cry yes?
My bad. If there is another one I’ll change my log-in name.
This is probably the last time I ever post on a thread about baseball (or whatever sport this is).
Mind you, I like the idea of Vicar On Vicar action.
ILNFL = I Love National Faseball League.
is there a wikipedia entry for “man laws”?
i’ll be damned:
i must start three of these receivers...
Marques Colston
Steve Smith
Hines Ward
Devery Henderson
Nate Washington
the top three make sense, but i really dont know how healthy hines and colston are.
colston is back, i think he only played the first half last weekend because the saints were raping the cowboys and they wanted to give him the extra rest/guarantee me a loss. i might go with devery over hines, only because brees is going crazy and joe horn might not play.
Start Colston and Smith. Start Henderson if Ward is Questionable or Doubtful as of Sunday morning. If you don’t start your main guys, you will beat yourself up for it forever if they have a good game. Don’t overthink things.
go cry into ur porn collection
you’re the greatest, Ally.
He’s on Movado commercials and they’re like, “Tom Brady...dominator...deliberator...existentialist...MVP*...MOVADO WATCH” and after MVP I imitated the announcer and said “Crybaby” and was pleased with myself indeed.
* These might not actually be the words used but they were pretty similar. Derek Jeter is in one too where I believe they refer to him as a leader and philanthropist??! It’s bizarre.
go cry into ur porn collection
if by porn collection you mean shoebox full of superbowl rings then you’re otm.
That’s not what he told ESPN the Magazine.
more like go cry into belichick’s armpit eh
it’s all hairy and clogged with sweatshirt lint, i bet ; (
ugh. thanks for that, gear.
it is a labyrinth of terror
some dudes roll into work with telltale lipstick on their cheek, brady’s got grayish thread caught between his front teeth.
