The Bengals are going to rule for a thousand years.. ;)
My Cowboys still have Jerry Jones calling the shots. Nothing is going to change.

I actually a long time ago at the old RFK statum sat two rows in front of his box when they played the Skins. We beat them that time.
A Redskins fan ... I should have know it. [-X

I dreamed the Bengals signed Earl Campbell yesterday.. A 60 yr old, gray haired running back.. hmmmm..

Fuck you you crybaby, the Skins haven't been to the big dance since 91. And with the exception of last year playoffs for us have been rare and when we do manage it is a sympathy fuck.
Since 91 over all the Giants have done on average much better.

Are you kidding? Behind Jim Brown, Earl Campbell is the best running back ever.

Alex Smith probably going to the Chiefs. I'm curious to see how that works out. Going to be a great year for fantasy quarterbacks I think.
I've cast my lot with the Bengals (unless they suck again) and you're ALL DOOMED to rooting for bums unless you join me.. unless they suck again..

I saw Earl Campbell play. I can't remember another running back who terrified me more. If he got his legs going and three yards in front of him to get up steam, wasn't nobody bringing him down.
Quote from: "AllPurposeAtheist"I've cast my lot with the Bengals (unless they suck again) and you're ALL DOOMED to rooting for bums unless you join me.. unless they suck again..
I like the Bengals roster and I see no reason why they cannot win the AFC North.
Oh wait...Marvin Lewis is still involved, right? Nevermind, then.

That's what I'm saying. He got to running north-and-south, he could scare a freight train into taking a dirt road.
Woooooo Football!
Ravens gave Joe Flacco a 6-year, $120.6 million contract. :shock:
Quote from: "The Dude"Ravens gave Joe Flacco a 6-year, $120.6 million contract. :shock:
Carson Palmer sends his condolences.. :lol:
Riggins was damned good too. He didn't dance around you, he ran over you.
Flacco's good. He's not that good.
Quote from: "Thumpalumpacus"Flacco's good. He's not that good.
He's actually very good, and one of the more underrated QBs in the NFL today, even after winning a Super Bowl.
But is he $120 million good? No, I don't think so. It's very likely that this is his prime, and by his 4th or 5th year of his contract Baltimore will wish they didn't spend that kind of money on him.
Exactly. You're right that he's pretty damned good, and deserves good money. But I wonder if Newsome didn't just make a bit of a cap-mistake.
Fake-o isn't $120 million good.. After all.. Carson Palmer used to routinely beat him with crappy Bengals teams.... :-k
Football!!!!
Bye bye Fleebow!
I hear the skins are thinking Teabowmania to go with RG..
IT'S FOOTBALL TIME AGAIN! :)

I'm interested to see how the Cardinals do with Carson Palmer at the helm. I'm gambling on a great Palmer-Fitzgerald-Housler(TE) connection in fantasy this year.
Quote from: "Thumpalumpacus"Writer posted a YouTube video (//http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxugRBWN8gw)
I reckon db's would beg to be blocked if nobody got a piece of earl at the los. Much better to be hit by a guard or lead back, than to be posterised by thunder thighs!
Peyton Fucking Manning.

Your fantasy must be of Dr Pick6.. I'm a long suffering Bengals fan. Palmer's never been the same since the elbow injury.

It's a pretty low risk gamble - they're on my bench, not my starters (well, besides Fitzgerald)!
Adrian Peterson. First touch of the season. 78 yards. Touchdown.
I hope the Titans kick Rothgibbeegerrs ass like dumbass Tebow did.
Tebows short time in the NFL did come with setting a record. I DO NOT LIKE TEBOW. But I am so glad he kicked Rohtblierrsgers ass with the shortest overtime ever in NFL playoff game. I think it was 7 seconds, touchdown Denver to continue in playoffs. RBurger, out. Loved it. Then they fired him and picked up Manning. Love that even better. Do I love that he kicked Flacco's ass....not really, bc he is my 2nd favorite.
Quote from: "Jmpty"Adrian Peterson. First touch of the season. 78 yards. Touchdown.
And then Ponder threw 3 interceptions, fumbled once, and Peterson ran for 15 more yards, in a loss.
Was watching the Cowboy/NY Giants game at a wing place... actually really fucking fun. I love being able to rub other people's teams failures in their face.
As much as I hate American Handegg, I really love me some competitive, "YOUR TEAM FUCKING SUCKS, BRO!" action.
Edit: Oh, and lets go Saints!
Fuck off, Calvin Johnson. You were my 2nd pick of the draft and brought me 3 points today, causing me to lose. I hate you forever. As punishment I will start you again next week. Fuck.
Quote from: "Notthesun"Fuck off, Calvin Johnson. You were my 2nd pick of the draft and brought me 3 points today, causing me to lose. I hate you forever. As punishment I will start you again next week. Fuck.

Dez Bryant. 2 points. The fuck.
I got 1.50 out of Kenny Britt, 4.00 out of Travon Austin and 2.30 out of Lance Moore, who was a last minute replacement for Jared Cooke who would have gotten me 24.1 points. I'm almost 27 points ahead with Arian Foster, RGIII and the Texans D (none of whom are as healthy as I'd like) left to play, while my opponent has LeSean McCoy and Andre Johnson. If Matt Schaub out preforms RGIII while sitting on my bench I'm going to scream.
It is my first year playing fantasy football and so far I'm still holding to my position that it is silly and bad for football (although it apparently increases NFL revenues). I decided to play this year largely to challenge that pre-held belief of mine.
What the hell happened to the Giants last night?
In any case my Skins play the Eagles tonight, GO SKINS!
Shoulda gone wirh AJ Green kids..2 tds and almost 200 yards.
The good news? BENGALS are in 1st place even though they lost. :)
Quote from: "AllPurposeAtheist"Shoulda gone wirh AJ Green kids..2 tds and almost 200 yards.

AJ Green was a hot commodity - usually gone by the second or definitely the third round. I wasn't so lucky to get him, though I did get AP in my one league and Foster in another. Fair trade I think.
I do have AJ Green. Hell yeah!
P.S. I hate Foster right now. Unless he buys me nice chocolates I won't play him next week.
P.P.S. I could never not play you Foster. Luv you bby <3
Now the Bengals have Eifert and Bernard it takes all that double coverage off Green. If I were doing the fantasy thing this season I'd move 'heaven' and earth for Green and Germain Gresham.
Oh boohoo.. the steelers lost on monday night football to... THE BENGALS! :)
Cowboy Fan, NOT a Jerry Jones or Romo fan.
After 2 weeks, it's clear we should just stop and GIVE the trophy to Denver this year. The MVP to Manning.
Everybody else is mediocore or pathetic.
Yeah, the Manning thing really is pretty disgusting isn't it?
Have no fear, the Pats will wallow around for a few months and then finally get it together just in time to make everyone hate them again....I love the football.
Quote from: "aitm"Have no fear, the Pats will wallow around for a few months and then finally get it together just in time to make everyone hate them again....I love the football.

Alright, time for me to drone on and on about the Bengals.. If Dalton can learn to not throw the ball over everyones heads they're gonna be really good.
AJ, Eifert, Gresham, Marvin Jones, Bernard, Sanu and the Law Firm.. then the D with Geno Adkins, etc..
Ok, just wait n see. All these long years of suffering finally over! :)
Hmm..ought to be a slugfest today in Cincy between Bengals and the Packers. As much as I hate to say it I have to give the edge to the Pack because of their offense and Bengals db's are banged up pretty bad.
On the other hand so are Greenbay's db's and Starks isn't running roughshod over Geno Adkins and company. This defense ain't the deadskins..
Still, Dalton aint Rogers and they don't have quite the receivers Greenbay has. Ought to be good though. :)
14-zzzip..Bengals.. 1st q. :-D Rogers sacked n stuffed so far..
Penalties and four turnovers.. Way to Bungalize a game sports fans.. :roll:
Bengals spotted 14 then go behind 30-14 with 4 consecutive turnovers in 1st half and win 34-30 BEATING Aaron Rogers and the Pack.
Offense caughed it up 4 times in a row, fg, fg, td, fg. Rogers threw 1 td pass.
I am pleased and the big talk here is Cleveland beat the Vikings.. go figure.. :roll:
I'll assume nobody cares..but I DO! :-D
Did anyone get the number of the bus that ran over the Giants?
Here it is Sunday and no posts yet today except the Bengals and Pattycakes tied at 3-3 at halftime?
What's wrong with this picture?
Both teams playing tough D..
If you're not watching Cincinnati and NE you're missing a real defensive slugfest.. 13-6 Cincinnati so far..
Just because I'm a nice guy and just because the BENGALS beat the Pattycakes and just because Brady didn't throw a TD and just because someone on this forum is probably in tears... :-D

LOL.. I hate to admit it, but I expected Cincinnati to collapse..
My neighbor is about the biggest Cowboy fan around here in the Dallas 'burbs. His game room is nothing more than a 100" projection screen Dallas Cowboy game viewing room.
He does nothing but apologize and make excuses for the Cowboys & Romo.
Now if I had to choose a team I would root for my local franchise, but it is hard given that Jerry "build me a stadium with YOUR money" Jones is the owner & Tony "self-entitled, I'll throw a game losing interception at the last minute" Romo is the quarterback.
The problem with my friend and neighbor is that he cares nothing about integrity or the actual game. He could careless if a player was a child molestor if that player would win a game. That is a big problem for me.
Every weekend the Cowboy's play and I hear from my friend how the ref's screwed up, or how we would have won if only we had that player that maybe going to jail and various scenerios like that. My neighbor loves Romo and Jones. He continually cites Romo's overall stats claiming him to be one of the best quarterbacks in history. I don't think Romo has a brain cell in his body. My neighbor praises Jones stating that he brought several championships here. Well Jones is one of the most corrupt criminal busnessmen I have ever witnessed. He's kinda like Dick Chaney if Chaney owned a NFL team.
It's hard rooting for the Cowboys. You want them to win, but you also want them to be a shining example of integrity. They do the first thing about 50% of the time and they are nowhere near the second. The only thing worse is the Oklahoma Sooners and their fans.
My other neighbor (Tea-Party Todd) is an Oklahoma Sooners fan. He is the most irritating obnoxious being in the world. He continously sings "Boomer Sooner" and spouts "Crimson and Cream." I have explained over and over that "Boomer Sooner" is nothing more than Yale's fight song "Boola Boola" and Crimson and Cream are the colors of Harvard, but he just won't listen. He actually said that Oklahoma had the colors and the song before Harvard and Yale ever existed.
So "Deep in the Heart of Texas" I suffer the ineptitude and lack of integrity that is the Dallas Cowboys, and the obnoxious stupidity that is the Oklahoma Sooners.
Come on NBA season, hurry up and get here!!!!!!!
Funny you mention that mykcob. I lived in both Irving and Arlington not far from the old and new stadiums.. Remember the entire apartment complexes 'Jerry' had bulldozed to build parking space? I had friends who lived in those apartments. They were given one week notice to move before they were tossed out on the streets..
THAT'S his team.. Real winners, huh?
Truly I say, the only thing that matters is the Bengals beat the Pattycakes and Brady will remember Geno Adkins for a long time.. :)

A.P.'s 2 year old son was killed by his mother's boyfriend. :(
QuoteAdrian Peterson's son dies; alleged attacker in jail
One of Adrian Peterson's sons passed away Friday. The 2-year-old died of injuries from an aggravated assault Wednesday, Sioux Falls police confirmed to NFL Media.
The accused attacker, Joseph Robert Patterson, 27, was charged with aggravated assault and aggravated battery of an infant in Sioux Falls, S.D., police spokesman Sam Clemens said. Patterson was in a relationship with the child's mother at the time, Clemens said.
In light of the boy's death, the charges against Patterson will be reviewed and additional changes might be added. Patterson is being held in the Minnehaha County Jail on $750,000 cash bond.
Clemens told NFL Media earlier Friday that the child was in critical condition after sustaining head injuries that appeared to be consistent with abuse. Police did not name the boy, but Peterson and his father, Nelson, both spoke Friday about the terrible situation.
"Thank you to my family, my fans and fans of other teams for their support," Peterson wrote on Twitter. "The NFL is a fraternity of brothers and I am thankful for the tweets, phone calls and text messages from my fellow players. God Bless everyone and thank u so much."
Peterson missed practice Thursday, but the running back returned to the Minnesota Vikings' facility Friday. He indicated to the media that he planned to play in Sunday's game. Peterson's comments to the media came before news of his son's passing became public.
"I should start off by saying I really appreciate all the support that I've been receiving from fans (and) the Vikings organization," Peterson said Friday afternoon. "This is a private matter, and I would ask you all to please just respect my privacy and not ask at all about the situation at hand. Thanks."
The news is absolutely heartbreaking. We send our condolences to Peterson and his family at this unimaginable time.

I was impressed by Brady's comeback yesterday if it makes Pats fans feel any better..
Bengals OWN first place in the AFCN! :-D
I know I'm sounding like a broken record here, but BENGALS WIN AGAIN! 27-24 against Detroit..
...and the Pattycakes lost to the Jets..
Darn it's a good day to be human and still breathing! :-P
If I didn't know better I'd swear everyones teams suck this year except the BENGALS! :shock:

As a Buccaneers fan, you can have him! Good riddance. Crazy year... KC is the only undefeated team now! I wonder how SF feels about dumping Alex Smith?
Am I the only one that doesn't see the SeaHawks "magic"? They are good, but I don't see them in the superbowl. The Colts, look amazing. The dominated the Broncos, and Luck is getting better every week.
KC has been a good team in the making for a few years now, but didn't have a good head coach or QB. The playoffs are going to be interesting. I'm thinking the AFC will have KC, Cincy, NE and Indy.. Denver and KC will have to slug it out for a wild card, maybe NY and NE too.
I'm not sure about the NFC, but Detroit will likely be in, Seattle, Dallas, NO, GB??
I have to go with the Bengals.. I'm ready to celebrate.. Hell, I've been ready for 44 years..
Detroit is on its way to losing to Dallas right now.
How bout dem Jets sportsfans? 14-0 BENGALS! Jets got 1 total yard offense 1st quarter..
Make that 21-3 BENGALS!
If you're playing fantasy fb you're missing out on Dalton, Marvin Jones, AJ..IF you ain't gottem.. Dalton's carving up the Jet's #2 rated D..
Jets only need 9 more field goals to be back in it! 35-9 now..
Edit: Make that 42-9.. 4 td's for Marvin Jones.. 5 td passes from Dalton..
4:05 Reds over Bronco....wooo
Uhmm 49-9 now.. 2 pick 6's late.. It's gettin embarrassing.. :shock:
oh wait, its just the 3rd quarter....never mind
Manning skins the Skins.. BENGALS WIN AGAIN!

Calm down Brian. The Bengals sucked for 45 years.. I'm savoring the moment, but I really do wish the skins had beat Manning. I don't like him at all.
Skins need to protect RG better or he won't last another year..

Yea they do need to protect him better. But how the fuck did our defense hold them to 7 then collapse in the second half?
This is looking like the same ol same ol with the Redskins, fire on 3 or 4 cylinders but not all 6 at the same time. And what the hell happened to our special teams?
Hehe..I feel your pain. They didn't call them the Bungles for nothing. The Bengals were the utter laughing stock of the league while the Steelers and Ravens won superbowls..
It really is just a game..

Dude, I am hot air even when I am debating religion. I am serious about the play calling, but I am not on a Jihad.
I wish religion could be treated as the same type of trash talk as friends in sports. Call them like you see them, and when you suck you suck, but at the end of the day, everyone goes to bed at night.
All my friends at work build RG up last year, and I do have to admit, in all the years since 92 I have had my hopes built up and dashed. But last year I thought we'd build this year upon it, but it looks ultimately like more of the same.
I really take a skeptics approach, I'll believe it when I see it. I want my Skins to do well, but I am not going to stick my head in the sand and wish.
You can have a great QB, but they have to keep him off the ground so it really begins with the O line and pass blocking. The qb doesn't last long doubling as a running back.. I'd blame team owners and coaching. Shanahan's an egomaniac.. so is Snyder for that matter.
Quote from: "AllPurposeAtheist"Uhmm 49-9 now.. 2 pick 6's late.. It's gettin embarrassing.. :shock:

Yeah, when they're beat in every phase of the game it exposes weaknesses and gives em at least a chance to learn as opposed to Dallas and 'Dez' who won't learn squat.. :wink:
I live in Dallas. I am actually a Cowboy fan....somewhat. The recent game against Detroit was an eye opener to say the least. It showed me just how racist Cowboy fans really are.
Dez Bryant was upset. Maybe for personnal reasons maybe not. He is the best offensive weapon on the team and he got a total of 5 balls thrown his way. He scored on 2 of them.
Romo can't check down. He can't read defenses. He waste time letting the clock run down because he is an utter moron. My neighbors blamed the loss on Dez Bryant saying he was a typical selfish nigger ranting on the sideline. The fact is that Bryant and maybe ONLY Bryant was aware of what was happening. He had single coverage nearly the whole game yet Romo hardly threw him the ball.
Jerry Jones and family, Jason Garrett and Roma should be dumped for real football people.
You know the NFL lockout? Jerry Jones started that.
You know the NFL Refs strike? Jerry Jones started that.
Do you know what it cost just to park at a Cowboy game? Minimum $75.00!
You think that stadium is cool, well try watching a game there. That scoreboard is a major distraction. Prices for everything are astronomical. Oh yes Mrs. Jerry Jones (Stepford wife) thinks that the stadium is a world class art museum. What a crock. She spent 42 million on a big mirror in front of the stadium.
The fact is that Jones didn't pay for the stadium. He held Arlington taxpayers ransom to build his stadium and displace low income families. He doesn't pay a cent of taxes on that stadium or the income from that stadium.
I say let the IRS arrest Jerry Jones, try him, convict him on fraud and tax evassion, and put him away for life.
Dez Bryant was right to be mad and to hold Tony Romo accountible.
Bryant went ballistic, but in front of the national audience wasn't the place to do it. Garret was a fool for letting him do it.
I agree Romo goes blank at times, but other times plays great. He's definitely overrated.
As far as that monstrosity of a stadium and others I agree. The NFL is a publicly funded game and the beneficiaries are team owners and players while the average fan cannot attend games much less pay for parking so in effect all of society is subsidizing others pastimes and the fortunes of others.
You're right about the stadium displacing low income citizens. I used to pick up scrap metal in the area and know as fact several low income apartment complexes were leveled and the people living there were booted out with almost no notice.
I'd say the Cowboy's problems have less to do with Romo/Bryant and more to do with Jones. The Cowboys, a perennial middle of the pack teams as far as performance goes, is set to be $31 Million over the salary cap next year; How? Jerry Jones, personnel man.

Lucky for me it wasn't on TV. The worse part is Geno Atkins tore his ACL.
Buffalo.. . Poor poor Bills fans.. had 10-3 lead on KC, ball on the 1, 1st down and the rookie Tuel throws a pick6 in the endzone.. :shock: with Stevie Johnson WIDE open..
The 3rd string rookie is giving KC a hell of a game.. almost 400 yards offense to KC's 170, but 2 INT's tie game 13 all.
Hmm..SD and Skins tied up..in OT..

"Phew, we won" and "MOTHER FUCKER" are too close for comfort for me.
Wow.. you need to relax.. Take a breath and be glad they won..
NIce to see the "fading, aged, washed-up, over the hill, lost his nerve, ain't all that much anymore" Brady get his receivers back, 400+ yds 4 tds.....
Okay the 'Boys! Well it is as bad as it gets when you luck one out against a 1 and 6 team. The 'Boys are bad,....real bad. The only thing is that the division is worse. That spells trouble for the 'Boys as they will make the playoffs and loose the first game. Same old same old. Man I miss Jimmy Johnson!

Jones, Romo, Garrett, the whole Jones family, those are the problems. Jones is an ignorant egomaniac. Romo hasn't anything between his ears but a bad shave. Garrett is the worst yesman since Bush played president to Chaney's rule, and the Jones family are a bunch of incompetant spoiled brats.

Something that always plagues teams whose best athlete on offense is the quarterback, is, that he can't be used as a decoy to help get other players free.

I am disappointed that so many people/NFLers are saying Martin should have just punched Incognito and moved on, but I am appalled that people are defending Incognito's actions. It would be one thing if what he had done was "just" "normal" hazing--personally I don't get hazing; I keep hearing that it bonds a team together, but it seems that it would bond the guys dishing it out and alienate the ones receiving it, who are typically the new guys/rookies, the very people who most need bonded to the team by virtue of being new--but as soon as it crossed the line into leaving voice-mail(s) with racial slurs, threats of violence against a family member and especially a death threat, then I don't see how anyone defending Incognito's actions is doing anything but wallowing in his scum.
It is one thing to defend Incognito by saying "maybe he didn't do it; let the facts come out", it is another entirely to defend his (alleged) actions and say "Martin should have just maned-up and it is Martin's fault for being a soft target".

For sure, hazing is bullying and bullying is not beneficial for anyone - except maybe the bullier feels some twisted gratification. Hazing/bullying should never be "officially" sanctioned or turned a blind eye toward by those with the authority to do something to stop it.
I will say, though that when I was a junior on my high school basketball team some seniors were bullying most of the underclassmen on the team and when I told the coach about it he basically shrugged like no big deal and didn't do anything. Later in the season during the warmup before practice (before the coaches came out), one of those seniors decided it would be big chuckles to do a layup over the top of me (their bullying toward me had been only verbal up to that point). My fist literally came up off the floor in a beautiful arc right into his jaw. There was a lot of blood. He wasn't badly hurt, though. The coach called us into his office to grill us on what happened. I just said I was done with basketball and quit (the other kid claimed I had started it). A few days later the coach talked to me again and apologized, but I was done with basketball for good. Here's the part that is really sad - after punching that senior, nobody messed with me anymore at school or anywhere for that matter for the whole rest of the time I was in high school. I say that is sad because it shouldn't take smashing somebody in the face to get them to stop bullying. Unfortunately or fortunately standing up to bullies oftentimes works, though, so if someone is in a position where they are being bullied and those in authority who should stop it, don't stop it, then there are times when I would recommend standing up for yourself. I'm a pacifist about organized societal violence (like wars), but I don't have a problem with someone protecting themselves with a little violence rather than put up with bullying that they shouldn't have to put up with because the people in authority are not stopping it.
I'm a football fan and the hazing makes zero sense to me. Plenty of great athletes drop out over it merely because they dont have the personality for it and are repulsed as many of us are at the dumb fuckhead jock mentality. I knew a guy years ago who easily could have been a world class sprinter. He could run faster, laughing at people backwards than fast guys could run forward, but he had a very low key personality that couldn't tolerate the bullshit so he never entered track and field.
I'd much rather my team lose every event than have bullies and assholes leading to hollow victories.
wow, before this is over, Richie is a black guy giving a "half breed" a compliment by calling him a nigger.....stranger and stranger it gets....
The truth often overlooked is at the end of the day football is nothing but entertainment. Nobody loses their lives over a game and people aren't held in POW camps. This isn't a matter of national security and a peoples way of life. These guys to an extent are paid to represent a segment of a city's pride, but nothing more and like it or not Incognito has hurt Miami's image far worse than had they lost every game as a result of Martin being perceived as weak.
The blame is being attempted to be shifted to Martin, but anyone in their right mind has to know better..

Anyone a believer in the Chiefs? Their 2 games with Denver will be the real indicators I think.
Quote from: "Agramon"Anyone a believer in the Chiefs? Their 2 games with Denver will be the real indicators I think.
Obviously all they needed to do was beat the teams that lined up against them, but what is it now, 5 teams in a row playing backup QBs, and not very impressive wins against some of them at that. If they can catch a few breaks they could beat Denver, but I don't think they are the better team. They should hope for wind and rain--except that their run defense hasn't been great.
They were never as bad as their record last year --they had some major pieces injured. I'd argue that getting health has been closer to half of their success, with Smith and Reid as the other half.
The Seahawks have been winning, but not overpowering of late. They will go well as long as Wilson stays healthy. They have won games late on account of defences getting tired from chasing Wilson.
You can't fault teams for building their offense around a talented qb, but your backup qb needs to have a similar style game to compliment the surrounding talent just in case of an injury. It's rare that an athletic qb will go the season without missing games.
I'm loving watching the broncos - and the cleverest qb to ever play the game in my opinion. I still love the colts because I think they have the best uniforms in the entire league, but man I love watching Peyton. Anybody have a favourite uniform that maybe isn't just because it's their favourite team? As for the colts, I love the simplicity, hope they don't change the helmet like many have!
I love the Redskins logo, but their current color scheme with the pants and shirts suck.
Yeah, I do like the redskins helmet as well. Reminds me of my childhood - I had nfl sheets on my bed. And, I'm 1/16th American Indian. (I don't want a name change by the way) Any team that hasn't changed their helmet, I like for nostalgia reasons alone. Patriots were cool, then they changed. Bengals are maybe the only one that changed for the better. Even that took a while to accept. The teams do try to keep older fans happy with throwback uniforms on occasion, but they go too far back I think - most of those fans are long gone or are in nursing homes.
I only vaguely remember the R with the headdress, that is very close to the time I first took an interest in the game. Then came the side view of a warrior with the similar headdress. I hadn't realized the number of changes until I looked it it up. I wonder how many other teams have made these subtle changes that have been difficult to notice???
I think that the NFL is so diluted that there is no clear cut team that is superior to most of the others.
Diluted??? Not sure I'd go there. The current parity in the league stems from a combination of things. Technology, shared ideas - hard to keep secrets with the constant coaching changes, and more than anything else, free-agency. I was in camp with the chargers in 1986 made it to second cut. The athleticism of players today is scary. I wouldn't even get a look today with my talent level of the time - as much as I'd like to think otherwise. I caught the ball better than many, but just couldn't get separation from cat quick corners. No, it's not diluted, its just hard to beat teams that have access to everything equally, and most things, given the age of the league, have been done before, so adjustments happen more rapidly. That's why I like Peyton manning so much, his adjustments occur at the line of scrimmage, just before the snap!
Wow.. Miami got beat by Tampax Bay.. I wish that stupid scandal had happened a week earlier.. I'm not a big Tampa fan, but glad they beat the fins. :)
Woohoo.. (obligatory gloating) Bengals win big with defense and special teams. Offense has been horrid for a few weeks and was today for the most part, but they scored 31 in the second quarter with a mere 3 first downs. Two blocked punts, one for a TD by a career practice squad guy, Tony Dye making his NFL debute and another by Vontez Burfict who forced a fumble then scooped it up..
AJ Green only 2 catches for 7 total yards..Browns were leading early 13-0 then the wheels fell off for them and Bengals coasted to win 41-20 thanks to take it to the house defense and special teams..
How 'bout dem Pats tonight aitm? I hate to say it, but I think they're outmatched and Talib is trying to get tossed out of the game..
yeah, they didn't really help themselves, but goddamn they scared the fuck out of em with 3 seconds to go eh? Not many teams can go 80 yards in 40 seconds.
That last play was weird. Gronk gets held all over, but the ball was way underthrown.. If Brady had thrown it just a bit higher they'da had another shot.
Yeah, tough to argue with their ability to move downfield, but tell that to Mike Zimmer.. :)
My Redskins are 3-7. Proving my point year after year when other fans during draft and pre season go "We got this guy, we got that guy", my response "I'll believe it when I see it". Yet another year my only hope of saving some face is to beat Dallas.
This is the week where the Redskins will realize that they need to score more than the other team to win. Yes. This is the week... also, that hot chick from accounting will come into work not wearing a shirt.

I don't think I have seen anything like what I saw in the Cowboy game when a receiver came open(which he shouldn't have) and caught the ball and fell down and the Cowboys just stood around not touching him, allowing him to get up and easily score.

But on the other hand he could have kicked it farther had it been 80 degrees or with a stiff breeze.
It is possible. Prater has a hell of a leg no doubt.. 80 degrees probably isn't the biggest factor, but low humidity probably would be.
Then again, I'm not a football physicist. :)
QuoteDempsey was born without toes on his right foot and no fingers on his right hand. He wore a modified shoe with a flattened and enlarged toe surface. This generated controversy about whether such a shoe gave a player an unfair advantage. When reporters would ask him if he thought it was unfair, he said "Unfair eh? How 'bout you try kickin' a 63 yard field goal to win it with 2 seconds left an' yer wearin' a square shoe, oh, yeah and no toes either".[3] Additionally, when an analysis of his kick was carried out by ESPN Sport Science, it was found that his modified shoe offered him no advantage - the smaller contact area could in fact have increased the margin of error.[4] In 1977, the NFL added a rule, informally known as the "Tom Dempsey Rule," that "any shoe that is worn by a player with an artificial limb on his kicking leg must have a kicking surface that conforms to that of a normal kicking shoe."[5][6]
The long standing debate was whether Dempsey's toeless foot and square shoe gave him an unfair advantage. No question a football in cold weather would have different characteristics than in warm weather. Whether it is an advantage or disadvantage, I'll leave that to the physicists on here.
Well.... the Packers are barely hanging on. Personally I think they should let the season expire and then work on the draft from a more advantaged position.
Redskins? Foreskins. :axe
Very few, if any kickers kick with their toes these days. Almost all kick with the instep. They used to call it 'soccer style' kicking.. It's more for accuracy than distance, but they get more force either way with the instep kick.
If the Lions and Bears keep losing the Packers are still in it and Rogers should be returning next week..
The thing that kills me about the kick is the where, not the temperature. In the low air density of "mile high stadium" objects will travel farther because of low resitance and less drag. I'm for a comprehensive research on that advantage and an adjustment accordingly. Say his kick was 64 yards in the air and cleared a 10 foot bar and went between two post ten feet apart, if he had made the same kick at sea level how far would have really gone?
Seems to me that at even a 5% difference because of the physical differences Demsey's kick would have travelled over 66 yards, OR the kick in Milehigh would have only gone just over 60 yards.
The thing is both kickers get the same exact advantage and if it's a divisional game they both have the same exact disadvantage at the other stadium.. I think fairness only goes so far. Physical ability still rules over venue.

There are many weather/atmospheric variables that will determine how far a kicked ball will travel. Unless severe, they most likely won't outweigh contact point to determine success. Contact too low, the ball will sail high and come up way short. Contact too high, well, harder to say, that one is often blocked because it travels to low. Bottom line, they've been kicking field goals in mile high stadium for over 50 years, and more nfl games have been played there than any other stadium. Dempsey kicked his in Detroit or N.O. - can't remember. (I know, google it) Dempsey has had the record for 43 years despite mile high being around for more than 50.
I remember an interview with Alex karass (spell?) talking about the Dempsey field goal. He was on the field at the time. He Said something like "the entire defense was laughing at the attempt for 62 of those 63 yards."

Pretty much this. Dempsey's record stood for 43 years. That's a very long time for anyone to hold an absolute record in anything. The fact that improvements in both training and equipment haven't resulted in a longer kick before now speak volumes as to the kind of achievement it was at the time.
BTW. Three other kickers have kicked 63 yard field goals since Dempsey kicked his. But yesterday was the first time someone had kicked one longer than that.
Kinda like Hank Aaron belting out 715 homeruns.. They did'nt move all the fences 10 feet out..

It was New Orleans before the Superdome. Even though Milehigh has been around for 50 years, no one has even attempted the record. And furthermore air density IS a real factor that is the most significant in all the variables. If you filled a football with helium it would travel much farther. Even the NFL recognizes the REAL fact of drag coefficient which is why they redesigned the shape and size of the ball in the first place.
Quoteno one has even attempted the record.
that is one thing that bugs the hell out of me. So you have the ball last at halftime. You have a time out left and your sitting on the 50 yard line. So call a time out with one second left and let your kicker have a shot. I would make it a rule.
Quote from: "mykcob4"Even though Milehigh has been around for 50 years, no one has even attempted the record.
Not true. Jason Elam kicked a 63-yarder that, while officially 63, was longer that Dempsey's 63-yarder. We had a kicker hit one from 65 in a pre-season game against Seattle years ago and our second-string kicker in 1991 (yes, Dan Reeves carried two kickers that year). attempted one of 66 or 67 in 1991 that was long enough but wide right. Janakowski hit one from 63 at Mile Hi as well. There have been a few other attempts here and there around the league, it's just an incredibly hard kick to make.
Only Demsey's attempt (as far as I know) was a game winning attempt though. All the others I've seen have either been at the end of the half or after the game is out of reach and the coach is just giving the kicker a shot at the record.

why make it a rule? What's wrong with a 'hail mary' or even a run? Time won't end time the play is over so if a RB runs it 70 yards you get 6 instead of 3.. You'd rather make em kick?
Bears chewed up the cowshitters tonight.. last check it was 42-21.. HORRIBLE defense all around for both teams.. Cowboys made McCown look like a shoe in for the HOF. :lol:
Final 45-28
Man the Cowboys have no heart at all. Lee should retire. Carr should cover something besides receivers, and Jerry Jones needs to scrap everything and start over.
The Boys should have played the whole game like they did the first drive and that is pound the ball on the ground. The line would have played better, it would have kept the Bears offense off the field and given the depleated defense a rest,but NOOOOOOOOO! they had to throw stupid passes that got them nothing but 3 and out over and over again, leaving their defensive sceme exposed to its weakness of being on the field.

For some odd reason my daughter is a fan of the cowboitoys so I reminded her they should never send Boiz to fight with Bears.. :lol:
Almost 10 years I lived about 1/2 way between the old and new stadiums and I ragged on them every chance I got. Most people merely nodded in agreement.. :)
The Bears did OK on defense, considering the last touchdown for the Cowboys was pretty much a gift. They had them beat in the 3rd quarter easily. But still, you long for the Buddy Ryan days. Lol, the Cowboys got rid of Rob Ryan from last year- now he's tearing it up in N'Orleans. Their present Defensive coach ain't long for his job, I'm thinking.
Jerry Jones spent the 90's studying the Bengals formula for suckcess.. Got a good coach? FIRE THAT FUCK! :lol:
He also fired Mike Zimmer, Bengals current defensive coordinator..

Now don't blame that on Jenny Jones. He may have taken it and run with it but it's NFL Films' fault.
"Bob Ryan, now Vice President and editor-in-chief of NFL Films, coined this for the Cowboys while preparing and editing the team's 1978 season highlight film. He was quoted as saying:
I wanted to come up with a different twist on their team highlight film. I noticed then, and had noticed earlier, that wherever the Cowboys played, you saw people in the stands with Cowboys jerseys and hats and pennants. Plus, they were always the national game on television."

I'm beginning to think Romo is gay because he winds up with so many opposing players on top of him.
Quote from: "stromboli"I'm beginning to think Romo is gay because he winds up with so many opposing players on top of him.
Now don't you start with the "R(Homo)" stuff.
I believe that Romo doesn't have too much going on between the ears.
On a key time out Romo doesn't stategize with the coachs, he runs over to the heater and stays there until he has to start the play. No heart, no brains.
Wooot! Denver knocked off by the lowly Chargers 27-20. Huh? What? Manning didn't toss a bazillion TD's against one of the leagues lowest rated secondaries?
I'm feeling better about the BENGALS chances now. They've beat NE, Colts and Chargers. I figure if the Chargers can beat Denver and the Bengals beat the Chargers then in theory ought to beat Manning even though that fuck is 7-0 against the Bengals.
Yeah, I know what you're thinking..why do I hate Payton Manning? I JUST DO! I don't need a reason and he's GOING DOWN! :twisted:
Sorry Seahawk fans.. Bengals will win the Superbowl!
watching peyton is always an exercise in wonder. I watch him put his whole body into a pass and it looks like he is throwing a balloon. I swear I don't know how the ball ever gets to the receiver, and it looks like it is floating along kinda like whoo-de-doo. Chargers did a good job of keeping him off the field, and converted some critical 3rds to do that. Good job SD. But in the end Peyton couldn't convert.
I know Rivers is having a good year, but watching him last night I don't know how he is doing it. His throws, even though they get completed are not where a QB should throw the thing. He throws to his receivers while a defender is between them and it is mere luck that the defender doesn't just reach out and pick em. And fer crying out loud a sideline pass should be over the outside shoulder so the defender can't get it, but throws em inside and.....I just don't know how he keeps getting so lucky.
I dunno aitm.. Dre Kirkpatrick picked off Rivers..actually out of Gates hands..
I'm not a big Brady fan, but do feel a twinge of respect every time Manning goes home with tears in his eyes. :)
Yeah, I enjoyed seeing Denver taken down a peg. Rivers is a good quarterback and durable, I don't think he's ever really had the supporting cast he deserves nor the coaching. When a team, year to year, can be something close to competitive but never get there, I put that on the owners. Norv Turner was a good offensive strategist, but never worked as a head coach. Why did they hire him?
You see the continual competitiveness of certain teams like New England, New Orleans and Seattle, you see owners who were smart enough to pick the right coaches and get the right players. Denver now and into the future will also be in that group.
It's not always the right HC who turns a team at once, sometimes it takes years and all to often owners want to win now and fire coach after coach never reaching where they need to be and trades, etc., go awry year after year.
The Deadskins a good example and like the Bengals of the 90's they pin all hopes on a handful of players hoping one coach will magically transform losers into winners.
It took Mike Brown quite some time to gain trust in Marvin Lewis and trust of the city, but this is his 11th season and they've rebuilt the team from bottom to top.
If Rivers keeps the same coach awhile and that coach has a free hand to build they might rise to the top, but don't count on it mainly because Rivers is far from his rookie season.
Seattle is a bit different. Pete Carrol had a big time reputation from years of success at USC while conversely Shanahan had success in Denver, but mostly because of having well established players and a QB who toiled years before finding the success he found.
Look at the Browns though.. They don't keep coaches long nor QBs.. Their record shows it too.
So much can be laid directly at the feet of arrogant, rich owners who believe they know more how to run teams than the coaches they hire.. Hello Jerry Jones..
I did not watch the Dallas Green Bay game because I figured hey, they are playing Dallas, Green Bay is down to their 4th string quarterback, Green Bay is done for the year, why bother?
Totally forgot about Romo's pension for stupid decisions in the last part of the game. Three (3) interceptions in the 4th quarter. 3. God, I love that man. :-D
Yep the Cowboys did it again. Romo may go down in NFL history as the worst 4th quarter quarterback in history. I mean Jim Kelly must be smiling. He lost 4 Superbowls, but Romo gets handed a softball victory and totally Waterloos it.
That "fair catch" call on the Bengals was crap
Dear Allah/Thor/Jebus/FSM, please take my Pascal prayer despite my 3-11 Redskins and get them to the Superbowl.

I'm not saying "did you see the Pats smack the Ravens" but did you see the Pats smack the Ravens?
Yes and I also saw the Redskins severe allergy to winning.
No. 1 seed, again. :P
Not that Manning will do anything with it. :roll:
Bengals smacked the ratbirds pretty good too despite Dalton tossing 4 interceptions.. D was all over FakeO like flies on stink. =D> :rollin:
Rubes are seemingly unable to sell out a playoff game in Cincinnati.. I guess this will happen when you vote for John Boehner.. =D>
I think the last time the Bengals were in the playoffs at home, the entire stadium was booing them... they were only two scores behind. It really did seem like a booing game to me.
Okay the Green Bay game starts at 5 below and it gets colder after that. What a mess. I don't expect a realistic or even a good game. San Fran wins.
The Eagles should have an advantage and I am predicting an Eagle win in that game.
Rivers is Rivers after all but so are the Bengals...I call toss up. Rivers will through interceptions and the Bengals will find a way to give the game away because the game IS importantant. Who knows who will win the Colts game. Jamal Charles should run crazy and the Chiefs defense should cause problems, but the Colts have weapons like their quarterback. Luck is good, but is he good enough?

You're probably right on Green Bay, the Niners have dominated them recently. but Lambeau Field in the winter time is no piece of cake for any visitor, and the Niners play most of their games in relatively warm climates. Huffpost is already predicting another Ice Bowl. We shall see.
I'd like to see the Eagles win just because they smacked Dallas. I think KC is going to lose to Indianapolis. And I want to see the Bengals win because I've never liked San Diego.
GO PACK GO!
When is the GB/SF game?
With the exception of me Bengal fans suck, but they haven't lost at home all year. The last playoff game they won was against the chargers and made Fouts look really bad so they're due for a good run here. If they fall behind though Bengal fans will boo Dalton the same way they did Palmer till he refused to play another game for them. They were throwing trash in his front yard..go figure.

Have you been to Candlestick. Mark Twain said he spent his coldest winter one summer in San Francisco. It's not Lambeau but it is cold. However in the Packer game anything can happen. Outcome won't reflect the talent of the teams but the endurance of the teams.
Been up by Lake Superior during the winter lately? it makes candlestick seem downright tropical.
Quote from: "Shiranu"When is the GB/SF game?
Sunday afternoon on Fox.
San Francisco is stronger and has more weapons right now. I'm picking the Eagles at home in crappy weather because they are peaking and the Saints suck in bad weather.
I'll pick the Colts because Luck is the better quarterback and Andy Reid just somehow doesn't have the skills to finish a season. If the chiefs win I'll change my opinion.
And go Bengals! They deserve a win.
All praise be jebus, neither the Squeelers nor Ratbirds in the playoffs! =D>

What weapons exactly do they have more than the Packers? I'd say their only stronger point is defense.
Lacy and Starks have been playing an amazing run game. Gore isn't the only one. Niners have about two WR's that can be highlighted. Pack has Nelson, Cobb, Jones, Boykin, and Quartless. At any rate, on the Wide receivers side Green Bay has more weapons. Also, as far as consistency goes, Rodgers is far more consistent than Colin. We shall see. We shall see.
Wow..I thought the colts were dust against KC, but they're within 3. 41-38 suddenly.
I'm rooting for the Colts!

another good game.
So remember when that one guy with tights tackled the other guy with tights? Totally not gay.
In all seriousness I'm only interested in the NFL whenever the Falcons are doing well enough to rouse my local jingoism. Sadly that almost never happens, and whenever it does they go on and lose the next game. Atlanta: where sports go to die.
Saints win. But they've got to face Seattle on the road, and that will be a tougher test than Philly.
Kaepernick is dangerous, and the Packers secondary is suspect. Clay is not playing, last I heard. Cobb is back and Rodgers is QB, so hard to call. Playing in Lambeau is tough. I give the defense to the Niners, which might be the difference in the game. I don't think the Packers will be able to get to Kaepernick. He will have a big game.
I just cant see the 49ers winning if it's as cold as has been hinted. Some pansy San Frans will be too immobile in that type of weather to put up a good fight.
But that is under the assumption the Packers are any good, which I don't know.
I'm really hoping SF and Cincy play the SB so Bengals can stomp em in a frozen NY..
SF isn't used to this kind of cold.
Looks like the Bengals are going to lose. We shall seeeeeeeeee.
Not a good day for Dalton and, imo, poor play calling. Charges go on to take on Broncos, and Pats v Colts.
Money on the Broncos and the Pats.
I'd like to see it Stom but the Colts got the moxie right now. I think they can handle the Pats at the Fox.

wtf man, you have a crystal ball????
Have a look at Seattle opponents on the season. They didn't play many teams with a winning record, and when they did, they lost 2 out of 4 or 5, can't remember. Then to cap off the season, they got beat at home, which will mindfuck that home field stigma they had all season long!!! The Saints may lose, but it won't be a thrashing like the last time, I reckon it will be a very close game.
Ha! Bengals fans are screaming for Dalton's head, Marvin Lewis' s, Jay Gruden's etc., even though they've been in the playoffs 3 years running, won the division, got rid of Palmer, Ochocinco, TO, have 3rd best defense and 3rd most efficient offense in the NFL.. Yeah baby..go back to 2-14 and hope for those draft picks to keep panning out... Did I mention they're mostly rubes in Cincinnati? :lol:

What, did they grow envious of all the success Cleveland has had and decide to copy them? Hey, maybe it is an Ohio thing?
@hrdlr110 he called that San Fran would win, but I don't believe they won based on their defense. They won by 3 points, it's not as though they outscored the Packers the same way they did last year.
Deadskins hired Jay Gruden as head coach. He's not likely to hurt them and likely to help RGIII quite a bit. They're gonna need a kickass defensive coordinator though because Gruden was a QB. He did help Dalton to a lot of success except in the playoffs.
Mike Zimmer is rumored to be heading to Minnesota. He's a kickass DC..
Hue Jackson takes over Grudens spot in Cincinnati as OC.
I wonder if Jay Gruden is an ABBA fan too Brian.. :-k
It's not looking good for the Saints.
Seattle's D is kicking the Aints asses..
Why do my two teams have to play each other :.
jesus H man, a safety? really boys, yer gona blow a 9 point lead like that? AHHHHHHHH I hate the feetballs....
Beware of that Lucky guy.. Bengals beat both teams too. That still pisses me off.. Oh well..At least the Bengals headache is Brians headache now. #-o
Bad Luck.
Bad pun...
His luck has apparently run out, but there was Kansas City... :lol:
imma not going to brag and bring the wrath of the toothless fairy upon my head, but the Pats got a couple "lucky" breaks and then Luck gave us a few so we win...NAN-NA-NA-NA-NA-NAAAAAAAA

Yes, I like to follow baseball also. I do like to watch it as well, not just follow it by track stats. Then again like hockey, I can watch baseball over antenna because I don't have cable tv.

Did ya ever try pitching as a kid? If ya did then you might have realized just how fast the game can be when someone hit a line drive right back at you going about 200 mph.. :shock:
I don't golf and I don't baseball, either. Congrats to New England and fuck Seattle. I don't like Pete Carroll. The 49ers can beat the Panthers at home, whether they will or not I don't know. Frankly I think the Chargers beating the Broncos is a big stretch. If they can do that, they deserve to be in the Super Bowl, and could win it. I'm actually rooting for New England now. Like to see them go all the way.
Oh how quaint.. 'I don't do baseball. ' :roll: I really hope you're not comparing baseball to golf.
I don't like it when football players try to act... like how Carolina's quarterback just threw his arms up and fell down when a 49er jumped over him.

I'da flopped down and feigned a siesure. :-$
If they really want to act, why not add some blood bladders, blood capsules and fake teeth to spit out. If not that, at least pull an arm into their jersey to pretend they've lost an arm.
I don't like either team, but I ESPECIALLY hate the 49ers.. [-(
I haven't seen this many sacks since I spent a week living in a gym's locker room.
Man..hate saying this, but I hope the Chargers win. Manning's an asswipe..
I hope Manning gets a compound fracture of his tibia with it stabbing Moreno through the throat.
Just kidding, I'm not really rooting for either team. Nor do I dislike them.

oh okay. Man, I was thinking, Jesus dude its just a football game, but okay, I get that. I hope for a better second half for the Chargers, but I also would like to see another Manning/Brady duel, even though the obvious is that neither actually duel each other.

That probably would be fun with Cap and Wilson but Brady can't outrun a dead cat and Manning can barely outrun a two legged one so I think the "dodge" part would be pretty lame as well.
Toss in the human statue Carson Palmer and it might actually be entertaining. =P~
how many, if any would be interested or partake in a super bowl pool?
I would IF there was a muggins rule to let the Bengals replay that stupid game with SD..
who's gonna administer the pool and how? :-k
Don't really know apa, just a thought, we could do a hundred square thingy with a buck a square and whatever. Just wondering if we would have enough interest to bother.
I'm rooting for New England from here on out. Didn't care much about Manning until he hooked up with Papa John's, and now he is officially a douche. Don't like Seattle because of Pete Carroll and the 49ers beat the Pack.
As much as I hate to admit it the Pats have kinda become my fallback defacto post season favorite, but ONLY because they beat Pittsburgh and the bengals keep going one and done. [-( :x
Go Hawks!
Not looking good for the Patty cakes. Fuck Manning. :x
yeah, tommy had two easy ones but fucking blew em both......good job ponies.
I'm going to try and actually watch the Seahawk game... if I succeed, it will be the first time I have ever watched a full football game...I think.
Also; Cant stand New England (second only to the Cowshits and Steelers, who are tied for shittiest teams in the United States) so today makes me happy. If Seahawks win... icing on the cake.
A+ on cowshitters and squeelers, but the Pattycakes have my begrudging respect. The 49ers deserve nothing less than burning in hell. :butthead:
Let's go Seattle!
Seattle's Oline is getting its ass handed to em.
Ouchee..Bowman pulled a Carson Palmer with his knee bending inside out.. :shock:
Well...in case you care, but have spent the day under a rock it's Seattle & that manning fuck in the super bowl. :popcorn:
That knee bend looked a bit painful. I suppose it is a sad reflection when the only thing I thought though was, "...meh, I've seen worse."
Quote from: "Shiranu"That knee bend looked a bit painful. I suppose it is a sad reflection when the only thing I thought though was, "...meh, I've seen worse."
Palmer's knee was worse. I'm surprised he walked again much less still playing football. Says a lot about medical advancement in the past 20 years.
I still haven't gotten a single answer to the problem with my legs though other than they look like they've been in a meat grinder.. :-k
Somebody on the NFL channel, I forget who, predicted these two teams for the Superbowl. So I was prepared intellectually, but not emotionally. :(

Okay so my avid football fan neighbor is bugging the crap out of me because I didn't watch the Broncos-Patriots game....I had things to do, mainly work.
He finally convinces me to forgo watching 'Downton Abby' and instead watch the Seahawks-49ers game....big mistake. 1) He hates Pete Carroll and for good reason. he wants the 49ers to win which they didn't (I could care less), and to top it off the refs totally sucked the entire game.
2) I can't stay for the end because I am not going to miss the season 3 premiere of 'Sherlock Holmes in the 21st Century' on PBS.
I like sports and will watch some but I can't handle the hype of the NFL. The games are long and there are far too many commercials that are inane, tell you what to do as instruction not as advice, and or those commercials are just stupid. Why on earth do they portray people as the most moronic fools? Oh I know why because basically the American general public are moronic fools. I'm going to buy a certain beer because a ice adventurer went though hell to bring it to me, or an animated lizard is so damned cute and funny that I need to buy insurance from a certain company.
Well I watched the fucking game and saw one of the most horrific injuries ever recorded on TV. Just great.
I think that the Broncos will win the Superbowl, not because they are the better team, but because for a long time now the networks and the league have been shaping the narrative. If Manning wins(and he is almost guaranteed to do so) it will because the League and the networks think that it will be historic and more entertaining. A storybook ending.

Yeah, pretty accurate. I think a whole lot of our public behavior is shaped by football game commercials. I see the way people act in the commercials where they show fans getting all crazy in the game, I would seriously pound somebody that behaved that way in my house.
Don't forget myk.. the NFL is a non-profit enterprise and donates to "charities" like...uhhh..well. ..
OH, breast cancer! Ok, it's only so they can increase revenue, but at least they make sure everyone knows that they toss a few crumbs out there. :roll:
I will watch the Superbowl. I will eat Papa Murphy's take and bake pizza and some side dishes. I will flip off every Papa John's commercial while doing so, and hope for some funny or sexy ads. I will hope for an upset victory by Seattle, just so I can watch John Elway throw something in disgust, and see Peyton with that wtf happened? look on his face. That is all.

Pete Carroll is the head coach of the Seahawks. Everyone hates him because he encourages thuggery in the game, cheap shots, he is a poor loser, and even worse winner.
That injury was terrible. If you witnessed worse in hockey it doesn't detract for the seriousness of that specific injury. I doubt very much that you witnessed a worse injury in soccer.

Ah, okay.
As for the injury, I have seen the shin be shattered in multiple places, ones where the bone pops out of the skin and one to the throat I believe that killed the guy (only seen a highlight of this one, didn't see it live, so if you mean seen live scratch that one). So yeah, I would say those were far worse.
If you mean terrible in that he won't be walking right for a long time, I agree with you. But in terms of "holy shit, that was painful to look at"... nah, I have seen FAR worse. Joint injuries aren't nearly as painful to look at as the shin being turned to jelly.
I don't hate Carroll by reputation. That's silliness the football media throws around anyway. I've never meet the guy. If you want to get down to brass tacks ALL football coaches are basically the same way, hit the enemy, demoralize them and defeat them.. It's part of the nonsense narrative. :roll:
If you want to watch a nasty football injury look up former Bengal Tim Krumrie from the 80s.. His shin was turned to mush.

I think I'm going to be sick
I hope someone made a bunch of money betting that the first score would be a safety
I don't know what any of this means like safety's and whatever, but I know what 22 to zero means, and I'm seeing that on facebook. being that I live in Denver, I hope there isn't rioting. LOL wow.
29~0 now.. Gave up a TD on the 2nd 1/2 kickoff.. :lol:
wow. I'm guessing it wouldn't be safe to walk the streets in a seahawks shirt right now. LOL
one can only imagine the shit storm on the comment boards....whew...glad I got no dog in the fight.
Go do your best Richard Sherman. They'll LOVE you.. =D>
I believe this is going to go down as THE biggest bust in the history of the game AND it comes at the team proclaimed the HOLY GRAIL of football greatness during the reggie season. Wow..just ..mother fucking wow.

Denver never really played any really good defenses all regular season. They feasted on the defensive cellar dwellers for the most part to pad mannings stats.

Quote from: "GrinningYMIR"Worst
Superbowl
ever
My step-dad was predicting that the real Superbowl was two weeks ago between Seattle and San Francisco. We currently have a theory that both teams were trying out cannabis as a way to calm the players' nerves for the game, but that the Seahawks did it before the game started while the Broncos were still smoking joints as the game went on. :lol:
Insert appropriate word here: trample, eviscerate, slaughter, decapitate, bury, obliterate, humiliate, destroy, murder, squash, defenestrate, strangle, smear- choose one.
I'm going with curbstomp. LOL
My best friend and avid NFL fan invited to watch the game with him. We went to the grocery store for supplies before the game. While checking out he asked me what my prediction was for the game. I said I think that it will be a mess of a game, not cleanly played or officiated, and that I think Seattle will eke out a win. Man was I wrong. My friend said that he thought that Manning would demolish Seattle (he hates Pete Carroll and Richard Sherman). even though my friend is rather short like me, he holds a prejudice against short players like Russell Wilson. I told him that he doesn't know what he is talking about when it comes to athletes that aren't very tall. That they made it to the pros for a reason and their height didn't become an obstacle. Of course during the game my friend saw penalties that weren't called and probably didn't happen. He went into pure racist mode when Richard Sherman was hurt on a play(my friend is a FOX watching conservative). He blamed everybody but Manning for mistakes on the field.
The fact is that Seattle was just better and had a better game plan. They didn't need to blitz because the front four were able to apply pressure to the immobile Manning. Both teams made mistakes but Seattle made fewer and their mistakes were not costly. Denver was exposed for what they are, a purely offensive team who relies on the cerebral Manning to win the game. Seattle was fast aggressive and talented. They stayed in their defensive set not worrying about Manning would call. They knew that they could match up one on one so it just didn't matter.
My friend went into hyper damage control after the game. He said well Seattle won't be very good once those contracts start to mature. I told him that it didn't keep them from winning the Super Bowl this year, but that maybe he is right. Although my friend is pretty knowledgeable about sports, the NFL in particular, he has never played the game. He is a fantasy player who doesn't really understand what it is like to be on the field. He sees everything in statistics and the conservative prejudice that a FOX watcher sees. I played football in high school and I know what it is like and what I experienced can't even compare to the speed talent and power of the pro game. So my friend is profoundly disappointed and I am sad for him but not too sad, and today is just another day and the Super Bowl is now over with. Hurray, now we can get things done!
one of the seabirds said gameplan was simple. if you cant go at them fast, then do it faster
I was happy for Clinton McDonald. He was drafted in late rounds by the Bengals, but a few years ago when Leon Hall was hurt the Bengals were desperate for a corner so they made a trade to Seattle for another corner. McDonald would've been a starter for the Bengals except he was behind Geno Adkins who the year before lead all interior defensive linemen in sacks so McDonald got to clobber Manning. Oddly enough both Hall and Adkins were hurt again this year.
Anyway...as is usually the case great defense beats the crap out of great offense.

The one ad that through me for a loop was the Scientology ad. "Science and religion are one" as if scientology knew a thing about science.
Except for the bizarre decision not to account for Percy Harvin, Denver's defense didn't play too bad when the game was close--forcing two field goals on short fields, bottling up Lynch. After the kick return TD more and more of them joined DRC in deciding that it was simply too much effort to bother tackling.

Do you need more proof that the NFL is a non profit social welfare organization dedicated to the good of all?
(//http://i1160.photobucket.com/albums/q490/atheola/nfl.png)
My favorite non profit is in full swing and nobody talking about the games, just the Ray Rice/washed up running back/wife beater and the cross the NFL is hanging him on all in the name of revenue from female fans..errr I mean domestic violence..
Does anyone seriously buy the NFL gives a rats ass about domestic violence over revenue from female fans? It's a cynical ploy they play and even though they tossed out the tokens of Ray Rice and wear little pink items during games for breast cancer awareness the bottom line is still the bottom line. "Try to not piss off half the US population to much."
Yeah, Allpurpose, you are right. The bottom line. Major sports (including college) is all about the bottom line. It is big business. Whatever effects the bottom line, then effects the game. Until the bottom line is impacted, then nothing changes. For Baltimore, Carolina (Hardy) and San Francisco (McDonald)--and the entire NFL, there are games to be won--that's it. Nothing else really matters.
I was surprised by the number of women wearing Rice jerseys at the Baltimore game. I really shouldn't have been I guess. But why not wear Mr. Rice jerseys, she is the victim, not Rice? Or maybe worn them inside out---or something. Once again it seems to me that the perpetrator of a crime gets more consideration than the victim.

I think "patty cakes" is pretty spot on, both as an adjective and a verb. A real thorough butt kicking, ass pounding, smack your mama right in the face beat down. Whew!
First time I've seen Brady come out of a game so he wasn't killed.. I bet he buys the offensive line a big Christmas present.. Arsenic probably. I have to admit it's the worse I've ever seen NE play since I was a kid.
I wonder if Brady was thinking, You know what? Fuck this. I'm a multi millionaire with a supermodel wife and getting my ass kicked for nothing.. LOL
Looks like Cincy's season this year. If they don't take it now, the window will never be as open. I think Dalton has been under-appreciated but now is the time for him to shine. I was hoping for a Bengal/Packer matchup in the superbowl. But as much as I love my Pack, they have a very ordinary defense. They will have to get lucky to make this year. It would be great to see that matchup tho.......love the Bengal history of chocking--remember Joe Montana????

You're obviously demonically possessed to remind me of their chokability.. They've been to the playoffs 3 years straight and 3 straight one and done's.. The real pisser is it's usually teams they stomp during the regular season. The measure of success in Cincinnati now is winning A playoff game. How sad is that?
Still though.. They've managed to sign most of their good players to long term deals so the window isn't closing as fast as you might think.

It's kind of laughable that people actually get all choked up about watching millionaire players play a game we played free as kids.. I've seen guys throw stuff at their TVs and break them just because someone missed a pass or struck out. Sure I hope my team wins, but I'm definitely not going to damage my own property if they don't. :lol:

Well, time to drag out the good old Bill Bellicheat is a cheater idea and ask the age old question: How the fuck does a 6th round QB who barely played in college win at home every time with 3 superbowl wins even though he gets his ass kicked everywhere else? And how does arguably the best defence in the league suddenly look totally lost against an offensive line who the week before couldn't stop a band of crippled girl scouts?

I've long suspected the NFL is corrupted to the core being so many players have criminal histories and being a multi billion dollar enterprise it is a non profit and its tie-ins with illegal gambling and so on...Heck..one of your star players is going to rot in prison awhile and that doesn't even mention the checkered past of the Bengals organization..

In what world, the Pack were 3.5 favorites. But I have no idea why, when you can't stop them would they go for a field goal when you need to get the ball back with less than 3 min.? WTF? You are the 18? GO FOR IT. You are already dead, go for it. god damn it.
Every analyst I saw or heard from favored the Patriots, one indicating it would be a Patriot blowout. FWIW, I figured they would lose and spent the day out in my shop working on my boat, so I didn't see the game. :sad2:

I asked that myself. It was 4rd and long (15?) but I think you still have a better chance going for it there (especially with the Patriot's offense) then you would kicking a field goal and still needing either a defensive stop or an onside kick. If you trust your defense to get a stop after a field goal then you should still trust them to get a stop after a failed 4th down attempt.
OH! What tragedy! The pattycakes lost!

Zimmer is a darn good coach. I see good things in their future.
Yeah, I like Mike Zimmer. He is by far the best coach we have had for a while. On a different note, I like the outdoor games at the Gophers' field. I just wish the new stadium was outdoors. We used to be badass when we played outdoors at Bloomington, with Bud Grant, Tarkenton and the Purple People Eaters.
That's why I like the AFCN.. NO indoor stadiums and Ohio and Pennsylvania get darn cold too.. That's why I watch on TV so I don't feel as stupid as people who pay a few hundred bucks to stand frozen for a few hours to watch their teams lose.
My perverse nature makes me hate anyone named Johnny Football. I want to see him smeared like Cream Cheese.

Well, think of it this way. Any game that has the potential for groin injury that football has does not necessarily elicit the heavily hung. On the other hand, if you want to tell a 350 pound, 6'5" human of possible descent from forbidden ancestry that he has shrimp in his underwear, be my guest. :eek:

I hate them too APA. Mostly hate Rapenessberger.
Dear Vikings.. We'll trade you Paul Guenther for Mike Zimmer.. And you can have Marvin Lewis to boot..
I felt the same way about Elway, who is still revered in Denver. And I'm glad the Pats won. Because I don't like the Chargers either.

Bengal fans are ready to move on from Lewis as HC. He did change the culture there, but probably won't get them beyond a 1 and done. A lot of fans want him as GM, but that's never going to happen because the Brown family are control freaks.. Even Paul Brown was.. Mike Brown is great with the money, but hangs onto loyalty way to long even to the detriment of the team.

And Cleveland fans are outraged! Millions of mental midgets live there.. :eek:
If Manziel is playing, I'm watching. My feelings about him are either going to be disproved or proven, but if Manziel becomes the newest brand of cream cheese, I will laugh. I will laugh at his entourage and his hot wife. And I will definitely laugh at him. Manziel is a great scrambler largely because he is too short to see over his linemen.
I heard that driving down the road the other day and damned near drove off the road I was laughing so hard. Damn, I miss the days before PC.
As stated before.. Cleveland is where high draft pick QBs go to die before their time.. The only reason Manziel is starting is because Hoyer has been both ineffective of late and injured IIRC.. Plus its the Bungles who haven't lived up to the billing. Andre Smith, Marvin Jones, Tyler Eifert, Vontez Burfict all out and Zimmer is in Minnesota.. Oh well..

Even though I have serious reservations and have my doubts I really hope the Bengals stomp all over Pizza Delivery boy Monday..
BENGALS WIN and finally vanquished Pizza Boy in prime time without a one AJ Green. Jeremy Hill took it to the #2 ranked run defense and our much criticized defense picked Pizza Boy off not once, not twice, not three times, but FOUR times..
Anyone see the train wreck this past weekend where Dallas beat the fuck out of the Colts?
Ok, here is what I don't understand regardless who you root for. Why the FUCK would you call a fake punt as a couch in the first quarter when you are 4TH AND 11 and only one score down deep with your back against the wall?
I am not a Colts fan, but even as a non fan I have not felt that such anger at a bonehead play in a long time.

I believe it was a line audible by the personal protector when he saw the gunner uncovered, not a call by the coach. The play was wide open for the first down and the throw was on target, the guy just dropped the ball. whoever called the play--HC, special teams coach, personal protector--should get credit for having the guts to take a wide open play even though they are getting second guessed because some guy couldn't catch the fucking ball.

I thought that first interception should have been called a strip/fumble of the TE but I guess he never officially caught the ball before it was taken away. You failed to mention some fantastic kick/punt returns. Bengals special teams really outplayed the Broncos--with the exception of one Broncos kick return.
It should have been 5 picks. Terrace Newman dropped one, but he was getting beat bad till they brought in Dre Kirkpatrick with 2 picks.. Newman is the old man at 36, but old father time is catching up.. They have 6 first round picks in the secondary. It was good to see them beat pizza boy.. :dance:

I live 2 hrs. from San Fran., so when I'm not rooting for my fav--Green Bay, I'll root for the local team. But Harbaugh this year has been horrible. He cannot manage either a clock or a quarterback. Kapernick looked lost this year. The team had a huge number of penalties. I think they led the league in delay of game penalties. That I lay at the feet of the coaches--and Harbaugh was the head coach. Singletary was a huge disappointment as a coach, so in comparison, Harbaugh was waaaaay, better. But there is something about him that I don't like--his play selection, and time management has always left me scratching my head. But then, who will they get that is better--that could be a problem. And when one pays a QB as much as they have, you cannot fire him--so the coach has to be the one to go.

Yeah, any time you're running plays in from the sideline clock management can be an issue. All it takes is a second guess as coach is ready to send him out, grabs his shoulder pad to change his mind, and you're up against it. No time to read the defense and change the play, no time for a long snap count, so many statagy scenarios are off limits. A quarterback that can call his own game is a huge plus. I reckon there are heaps of qbs that can, but control freak coaches need to put their stamp on the game.

the truth is in the record before he came in against the record he posted….me thinks he did pretty damn good.
Suh gets reinstated on a technicality (32 games without sufficient "incidents"). I'm no fan of the Packers, but Suh's a piece of shit and needs to go. The guy's already a great D-lineman, why do you have to seriously injure players?
suh is a POS, that one needs to hurt other players is proof that he does not think he can beat them head to head.
quick aside here. College…I thought Oregon would beat Fl state by about 12 or 14, they are so fast, but holy shit…they are slapping the sister in law, grabbing her by the back of her head and shoving their dicks right down her throat. Wow. 59/20 Oregon? Wow..still 7 plus left.
I'd like to relive my childhood and see the Bengals win a playoff game.

There's hope. I mean, we look like we have a solid head coach and a promising QB. He won't be an Aaron Rogers, but he looks pretty savvy back there. The defense looks better and with Zimmer it should keep improving. I always though we should be trading AP like the Cowboys did with Herschel Walker back in the day. Get a ton of draft picks and use that to build upon. Now I doubt if we could get a 3rd round pick out of him. But overall, yes, it's tough to be a Vikings fan.

It is true I am a life long Packer backer, but I have never 'hated' the Vikings. Why? Because the high school team I played for was called the Herlong Vikings. Which is a bit odd, considering Herlong is in the middle of the desert. :)

Meh. I have lost interest in football to the point that I'm sitting here instead of watching the super bowl. The NCAA championship game was more interesting because I like Urban Meyer. He used to coach at U of U and beat Alabama in a bowl game. The only complete game I watched this season was the one Green Bay lost for the NFC championship. I don't give a shit who wins the super bowl. I don't like Pete Carroll and I'm not a fan of New England, so -meh.
Too bad that both teams can't lose this game.
Urban Meyer is da man and my grandma's maiden name was Meyer..
Dat catch doe
Never mind
That shit was terrible
Horrible call and Seattle just beat themselves..
What the fuck did I just watch? Seattle just... what the fuck was that?
That was the worst call ever
Of all time
I've seen some REALLY stupid shit in my life, but Seahawks have the ball on the 1 with Marshawn Lynch... That's gotta be right up there in Sara Palin territory stupid.. They deserve to lose.. Geeez Louise! :eek: :wall: :lol:
That's not even Marvin Lewis stupid..
So there they are on the freakin' 2 yard line, got Marshawn Lynch and 3 downs to score. And they throw it into coverage......... :doh: Glad I watched the end. The look of utter failure in Pete Carroll's eyes was worth it.
That was the classic version of fucking up a wet dream.. :lol:
I'm going to find that image of the look on Carroll's face just before he threw his headset to the ground and frame it. And laugh hysterically every time I look at it.
Hey they tried to throw a off the track play which is a great idea, but it backfired; Great game by the Hawks, holy shit they move 80 yds in 3 plays and score a td, Dats a damn good team
Wait, football is the game where they throw the brown oval shaped thing right?
(I don't like football very much)
This has been another post from your friendly neighborhood Trooper.
On the last offside penalty that got the Patriots off the goal line before the kneel down, it sure looked to me like Brady slapped the center's ass and the center jerked his head back, simulating the snap, and drawing the player off sides. I believe it should have been a penalty on the Patriots (either false start or snap infraction) but it was absolutely the smart thing for them to try at that point as another half the distance to the goal would have meant nothing while the five yards the other way was huge.

I stopped watching after the half because it looked like the 'Hawks were going to do like they did to Green Bay and come back and win. fortunately I watched the last part of the game. They thought they could beat the rookie defender with a pass play; kid made the play of his life and intercepted it. Post game they were calling it the worst call ever in a super bowl, but I don't know. I would still have used Lynch because that fucker is a tank, and a one yard play is almost a cinch to me.

Post game they were calling it the worst call ever in a super bowl, but I don't know. I would still have used Lynch because that fucker is a tank, and a one yard play is almost a cinch to me.
And two tries at running it as well. If you fail on 2nd and 3rd down, I think you roll Wilson out with a run pass option. But yeah, unbelievable play selection given the down/distance/time remaining.
Today the Seahawks learned almost exactly how they made the packers feel two weeks ago. Karma?
'Off the track' a great idea? Just step away from the Sarah Palin juice and nobody has to get hurt.. :lol:
What would have been a great idea would have been to bring in a road grader, perhaps another offensive tackle as a fullback and let me Lynch be the hero of the game. I almost feel bad for Chris Mathews.. The kid was working for Footlocker a few weeks ago..
Don't worry about Matthews. He is officially a hot commodity now. Fucker grabbed the onside kick in the Green Bay game, and that was enough to earn his keep. His two catches in the Super Bowl will be replayed ad infinitum into the future. He'll be around next year.
