Little known fact: There is an NFL franchise in Nashville TN. Not making this up, google it!
That said this year I most look forward to rekindling my budding bromance with Colin Kaepernick Man he is a blast to watch
Quoted from Deaconblooze:We sign Vince Young to a 1-year deal. I'm guessing we're renting him to practice against the read-option.
if you don't have a cheesecake factory nearby, open one posthaste!
Quoted from centerflank:I think Id rather go into the season with Vince Young at #2 and cut the rest, at least he can run with the ball if all else fails
Ok now that we're in the home stretch, let's hear your picks for the Superbowl winner. Pick by early game kickoff tomorrow. One team, plus total combined points scored in superbowl for tiebreaker purposes. We'll say the "under" gets the win in case of tie with points. No double picking or any other shenanigans. I will list everyone's picks after kickoff to avoid modification or trickeration!
Winner gets his choice of one of the following!
1) Three never used Stern pinballs of questionable quality
2) One potentially blinding Comet LED and various other LEDs from manufacturers unknown (may request one of Pinside's attorneys to draft up a waiver regarding Comet)
3) CFTBL apron missing the center artwork
4) Small bottle of apple pie (subject to legality)
5) Used pair of rails from a Bad Cats (not 100% sure that's the title but they're pretty sweet, so most likely Bad Cats)
6) Two MM mods: A generally ridiculous looking archer figure mod plus a weird treasure chest mod
You don't want to miss out on any of these so get those picks in!
Got Trilogy: Broncos 55, Centerflank: Broncos 56, Finrod: Steelers 45. If one of you guys gets it I'll have to think up an extra special prize in addition to the already fabulous selection of choices
The Saintses are always my fallback team but had a scare when Super Sprøles briefly went out!
Quoted from centerflank:I need a AC/DC premium if thats what you are thinking. Thanks! You are the best, I dont care what Trilogy says about you.
Dadgum I was thinking we could fire up Skype and each pop a Mentos and give a smiling thumbs up, but your idea is better. I no longer have an AC/DC but I'm pretty sure there's a guy in Ohio who would agree to provide one of his stable of BIBLEs if you are correct! (NIB of course, otherwise why bother?)
do people really call Rodgers "The Eraser"? How did I miss this news? That's got to be the worst nickname I've ever heard!
Do you think Tannehill is a franchise QB? I hope so but I'm not a believer. He seems to me a lot like Locker. An excellent backup QB.
Coupla must sees this week with Panthers-Saints and Hawks-Niners.
So cheeseheads do they shut down Rodgers for the year? Would you prefer to roll the dice or prepare for 2014 (or as Geordie Nelson calls it "Year of MMr")?
Quoted from Pin-it:One good thing about when your favorite team sucks you get better draft positions come spring.
gimme Johnny Football!
wow romo out for season. I'm not a cowboys fan but I was very interested to see how next week shakes out
Quoted from trilogybeer:Like I said if the NFL were scripted it would be a great story for Rodgers to come back and play against the team that took him out for a huge chunk of the season. Only great if the packers win though Even better if he breaks the passing TD record against them . The script last year was nice also , Two brothers coaching different teams playing against each other in the Superbowl while mom and dad sit in Wisconsin and watch . That has Disney movie writen all over it .
If not a Disney movie at least a 30 for 30!
<digression>
Is anyone else mildly annoyed by the "A-Rodge" moniker or any of the first letter of first name + hyphen + first syllable of last name nicknames? I find them to be pretty awful and uninspired. A-Rod[ge], T-Mac, D-Wade, A-Pu, D-Will, J-Kidd, etc. Ok granted A-Pu is pretty amusing.
</digression>
All eyes on discount double check!
I'm a little puzzled by all the Romo stuff. Do you think he has any chance to play? The way the Cowboys are leaving it open sure plays like shenanigans to me but that organization is so strange that I dunno.
Quoted from tilt-master:He was this management group's hire, I thought he was getting results, what a headscratcher.
Maybe he suggested management spend some of that absurd $24M in cap space on some free agents?

Quoted from navajas:My Mom and I just won our Fantasy leagues tonight. First time my Mom's taken home the championship. I'm pretty f'ing stoked right now.
Libations for everybody!

Quoted from o-din:TRIVIA QUESTION!-
Who was the last player on a Super Bowl winning team to say "I'm going to Disneyland!".
brees?
Quoted from centerflank:I dont think sec abides by the salary cap, just ask Jetzxi about his Volunteers...
The way I hear it they enforced a hard cap after Fulmer was canned, hence the record since
I hear some packer fans wear pilot helmets while tailgating!
But seriously you gotta go, CF (and take your helmet)
Quoted from centerflank:Ha! Im right with you!
Go Saints!

Man this poster is awesome on multiple levels! Thanks for posting! I forgot about some of these guys. Wasn't Sam Mills like crazy short? Yet he appears to be human-sized in this picture. And does Rickey Jackson have a Miller Lite in his hand?
That was an interesting time when the Saints had begun their ascent from the dregs of the NFL. I remember thinking Dalton Hilliard would be an all-time great
This game is almost unwatchable. I started doing a shot every time Rivers got a delay of game. Now I'm pretty messed up
Can we start the GB/SF game early?
I had my thoughts on the Panthers all typed up but then Cam Newton stole my laptop
I took an oh-fer this week! So you know what to do when you call your bookie!
Seahawks, Colts, Panthers, Broncos
Then you missed what RobT and Centerflank were saying about you before they edited their comments! Probably for the best, that stuff got way out of line imo
Quoted from ecurtz:Why is it so hard for you guys to understand that everyone outside of SF thinks Harbaugh and Kaepernick are colossal d-bags? I can certainly see why everybody outside SEA thinks Carroll and Sherman are a-holes.
I don't think Kaepernick or Harbaugh are dbags. Kaep looks like just about any early 20s guy would act with sudden fame and fortune. Spending his time and money on shoes and tats while partying with d-list celebrities? Lol!! I woulda made far worse decisions. Harbaugh comes across as a raging a-hole sometimes, but that's pretty much like every coach I ever had.
I think they're both very interesting to watch. Wilson seems like a nicer guy than Kaep, but that doesn't entice me to tune in to watch teams I'm ambivalent towards.
So I'm picking and hoping for Niners/Broncos in superbowl.
You guys are a bunch of grumpy old men! Guys like Sherman add interest for those of us with no stake in either team. I wish every team had guys that would yap to the media.
Remember when the UFC had a few guys that would shoot off their mouths constantly? That was awesome. They would embrace the villain role and it was easy to root for/against someone. Now after just a few years the product is crap and we get treated to Benson Henderson and his ilk and I can barely stay awake through a card
Quoted from Slugmeister:However this may well be Peyton's last game.
I've heard this speculation a few times now but I would be stunned if Manning calls it quits. He went to Germany and got his stem cells or whatever it was and has been very healthy since. He's on an excellent team and is playing at the highest level. I think he's got two more seasons.
Seems like Goodell is really set on adding European teams. That's not to say someone wouldn't relocate to LA if they built a new stadium with taxpayer funds.
I'm not sure I've ever sat through a game but I used to get a kick out of those qb skills competitions. Do they still do those?
I see Titans took a QB with a bad back, two torn ACLs, poor mechanics, no mobility, a conviction for sexual assault, and a failed drug test at the combine. So other than that he has a lot going for him
Quoted from centerflank:Erik----you will be pleased to know that your future starting QB is making friends around town.
http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/bar-owner--titans-rookie-qb-zach-mettenberger-sucker-punched-in-face-192531849.html
In my defense he had a bunch of LSU stuff on and I thought he was Tigerlaw
Wow Jags. Just wow
I'll go with just two repeat division winners
NFC north: Bears
NFC south: Falcons
NFC east: Skins
NFC west: Seahawks
AFC west: Broncos
AFC south: Texans
AFC east: Dolphins
AFC north: Ravens
I see Sam Shields is representing The U! What ever happened to Miami? Did they stop fielding a team in 2006?
Way different than I remember his attorney claiming. I seem to recall something about him gingerly pushing her away as she approached him during a dispute, and she stumbles and hits head on the rail.
I can't blame the Ravens or the league. Messed up stuff, much like the Badass's week one pinside FFL score. Dunno about you I'm all for scratching the season and starting anew in 2015
Yep good points RobT. I saw the league said they requested the elevator video but were denied. I guess that means they were outbid by TMZ.
Goodell and Rice and Hardy and Peterson have succeeded in making the biggest thing in American sports depressing. Can't remember a worse week for the shield. I'm the annual week 4 Jake Locker injury from going into NBA mode.
I see the Vegas over/under is 3 for Rivers throws at Richard Sherman this week. I'm taking the over! (and an INT)
I had the Titans at an optimistic 7-9 record before today's embarrassment. Slowly distancing self from that one...
I get your point but I think you're hitching your wagon to the wrong horse. After reading Peterson's texts I am reminded the idiots are breeding and at an alarming rate. I think Louis CK had a bit about that, need to find it
The most awesome thing about your pics is finding out there is actually someone who owns a Pat McAfee jersey!
Titanics are going all in for Mariota so Jags should get a win or two there
Post edited by Erik: autocorrected nonsense
I've never been a Steelers fan but I always liked Harrison. I mean I hated him, but it was really impressive the way he went from undrafted player (and from my untrained eye a potential bipolar nutcase) to all-pro (and probably still bipolar nutcase) Guys who can make a great career out of seeming nothing are my favorites!
Quoted from trilogybeer:Yep someone missed a chance to win a LIONMAN shirt from me .
Shirt still available? Any pics?
It's amazing the Cowboys haven't bailed on the run yet. It's been working so well. I'm not convinced that is the real Jason Garrett
Regarding the bag of used condoms I need to know the level of usage. I'm really just in the market for delicately used to properly used condoms.
speaking of CBS, didn't these Thursday games used to be on NFL network only? Will they all be CBS now?
Quoted from trilogybeer:OK , I accept ,which bet did you want to take ? Saints win or Davante Adams gets 2 TDs ?
Betting against Davante 2 tds
Quoted from RobT:Romo out for Cowboys vs Cardinals = loss
Cowboys still got a shot. Dez is a ticking time bomb so it's still must-watch tv. Btw before the trade deadline local news had Titans trading Locker to 'Boys for a future pick. You dodged the bullet on that one
We're getting the SD/MIA game here. What the heck happened to the Chargers?!?
lol yeah that went from competitive to out of hand fairly quickly. Still watching for Dez's expressions on the bench
Quoted from tilt-master:A great weekend indeed! A Pats win and I welcomed RBION and XMLE to the pin lineup
Is that a chromed wolverine? Smokin hot
Starting Romo is like dating Pam Anderson. Great times followed by hepatitis B. I knew the 3 point week was coming, just not when
Marshawn Lynch is like an angry linebacker with the ball. Like a prison break. Many other RBs get more attention but he is by far my favorite. Will be interesting to see where he lands next year
Tampa will lose out and take Mariota. If Bears give Cutler the boot, I fully expect him to return to Nashville. Whisenhunt has a thing for big, stationary QBs, and the Titans GM is unbelievably bad. It's a done deal!
Quoted from centerflank:He needs to be suspended next week. Lions are the biggest douchebags in the league, Raiders rejoice!
There's a team named the Raiders?
I was not a Falcons believer, but I'm still stunned at how bad they stunk it up against the Panthers
If he wants to move to Nashville I'm sure he'd be welcomed I think Rivers is pretty good, but I don't think I would bump anyone on CF's top 8 for him. Probably around that Ryan/Flacco/Palmer level to me.
The moment I saw that Indianapolis had achieved a video camera/bald eagle hybrid I knew the Bengals were doomed. How can anyone possibly compete with that?
Quoted from centerflank:47
Here is a fun old NFL vid….
» YouTube video
That niners/boys rivalry was great.
Finally had my first Calfkiller today. Good stuff, thanks CF!
IMG_20150110_115155860.jpgQuoted from o-din:It doesn't always rain in Southern California, but when it does, I prefer to watch football.
what kinda choice cuts of beef do you have in your avatar?
Noone* is interested in the histories of franchises! Sunday can't come soon enough!
Post edited by Erik: * that was for you, o-din
Burned out on NFL but not beer! BTW what you think about Budweiser throwing some chin music at craft beer drinkers during the Superbowl? Seemed to me like a curious marketing decision with no real benefit. Does Rick @pps also work for Anheuser Busch?
Also CF I just had another calfkiller. This time John Henry or something. Was ok but liked the other brew more!
Quoted from RobT:I hate this game sometimes.
I'm pretty upbeat at this time of year. If everything goes right, Titans could potentially double their win total from 2014!
Quoted from Astropin:Had I been there I would have picked up Le'Veon Bell over Marshawn.
Bro if you want Leveon I'm sure we can work something out!
Yeah he is in that ultra exclusive group of athletes who have smoked weed
Who won the league last year? Mexicans?
Quoted from TheLaw:Charles Woodson may have blown out his knee for Oak. I repeat, Charles Woodson is still playing in the NFL.
This completely blew my mind but after a considerable amount of research up to and including using The Google, I can corroborate TheLaw's statement
Quoted from chuckwurt:Cool. I'll be rooting for ya.
This is exactly why I have always hated everyone from Independence, KY, the state of Arizona, and Tronville, WI.
Quoted from Ronnie1114:Holy cow! Those Steelers uniforms are TERRIBLE!
It's interesting because they trot those things out every year or so. So you expect to be used to it by now, but nope it's quite jarring. It's like when some award show has a live Miley Cyrus performance. Or watching Zach Mettenberger. You think you're ready, but sweet jesus no this can't be real
Quoted from centerflank:For sure, win tonight and you are one game out from the Cardinals, wonder if PalmerBrittle will make it through the year?
Well they got Matt Barkley so they're good...
Quoted from centerflank:If the Pack doesn't come out fired up after that I don't know what to say......Bart Starr, a true Packer legend that didn't try to wipe his ass on the fans on his way out the door.
Is it too late for Favre or Starr to unretire?
The Boz one was interesting as was the Bo Jackson one. I liked how he had tossed his Heisman into some dark part of the basement and only really cared about bowhunting. The first University of Miami one was good (the second was just awful!), also Benji Wilson was good, and the one about Chris Herren was probably the best of the series. Especially good for the Tarkanian footage.
I don't like the ones where we've heard the story a million times. Did we really need retellings of the OJ trial or the Shilling bloody sock series?
Quoted from centerflank:The U just made me remember why I disliked them so much, Alabama beats miami in 93 sugar bowl, that game made me so happy, George Teague runs down Lamar Thomas and strips the ball, LOVED that play!!!!!
» YouTube video
Nice! Football is more fun when someone embraces the villain role. I had hopes Ohio State would step up this year but they blew it!
He's in a battle with Connor McGregor for most absurd chest tattoo
Does that one part say gun control or gin control? because that will most definitely determine if he needs stabbed
Can we trade players in the offseason? I may be interested in acquiring Jamal depending on how many times Leveon tests positive before August
How about that Peterson touchdown? For years this guy is one of the top, if not the best, accused child abusers in the entire NFC North. Time to show some respect!
Quoted from chuckwurt:Zim always has his crew ready to play. I think this game is going to be much closer than most anticipate.
Maybe but I still doubt it. BTW did I see you have a GOT LE in another thread? You probably hate it by now so I could buy that one off you and free up some space for you I can probably pick it up this weekend, PM me info!
Quoted from tilt-master:Pagano is getting another shot, finally someone keeps a coach. Good call, the players didn't quit on him.
Was selfishly hoping he'd get canned and come to Tennessee
Quoted from dmbjunky:Don't you want Chip Kelly? I heard another rumor that Tennessee was looking to trade for him before he got fired to pair him with Mariota.
No! Sounds like some bs his agent cooked up.
I don't think Titans will go the retread route this time.
Quoted from chuckwurt:I bought a Pro. It's caught up in those Stern delays. I won't have it until at least the end of this month. Woof. Oh and if I ever sell it, it will be years from now. Sorry.
Well Chuck we got a big problem. And by we I mean you. After seeing your reply I placed an order for GOT. Now my wife is super pissed at the NIB price and wants to know why you didn't sell me yours. I tried to explain that you just ordered it and you're cool plus all the lean Bengals years so have mercy but you know women. They don't think like us and they never forget.
So anyways I would recommend skipping the Louisville show this year. If you must go grab a disguise like Groucho Marx or Johnny Manziel in Vegas or something. I will try to distract her attention if I see you there just in case
Absolutely love the way the media praises Alex Smith! "managerial" "resourceful" "hands off reliably" "angular smirk" "reasonably stubbled" "his helmet fits appropriately" etc.
I would prefer being blown out to what happened in Minn/Cincy. At least then you can say well it wasn't our day, it brought to light a lot of needed improvements, I would expect it much closer next time, no team is 30 pts worse than another team, etc. Those meltdowns where a team beats itself are much more excruciating.
Going Pack/Panthers/Pats/Steelers
I am concerned that no one on KC has been informed about what happens to the clock when you carry the ball out of bounds
No matter how many times I see a perfectly completed end zone fade route it never ceases to impress
Also did Collinsworth describe that as "red hot sex"?
Quoted from str8cash:Palmer has never won a playoff game. Pressure getting to him?
he's being bullied!
Fitzgerald is fantastic. I remember back when he was clearly the best player in college football and the braintrust awarded Jason White the Heisman due to the incredible "which player has the best stats on the top team" system. Oh Heisman voters!
Quoted from chuckwurt:If he plays like he did tonight next week against the Pats, they might lose by 50.
Yeah he's old and gimpy and eventually the body lets you down. You'll find out bro!
I never saw so many catchable balls dropped as on Denver tonight. Will be interested to see some stats about that.
Btw I just wanted to add I posted a tiny Manning pic and it got (resized) anyways. Also pretty douchey, pinside
Quoted from chuckwurt:That's a good point. But man, those lame ducks he throws, crazy he can even complete passes.
I think maybe when you get super old the ball spins in a different direction or something. It's like the way the toilets flush in the southern hemisphere. We need that sports science guy to look into it
Any predictions where Kaepernick, RG3, and Manziel end up next year? Winner gets to deliver the Hilton nutpunch
Anyone remember when Demaryius Thomas was an NFL-caliber WR? Of course it's hard to imagine now but his game could have once been described as competent!
Their careers are on the same arc, although Manning has 11 years on him. I can only assume this is Thomas's last season as well.
If I miss one more play due to CBS's super slo-mo replay of previous play someone is getting stabbed. Maybe a producer. Or Kaneda. Possibly Jim Nance. Probably Demarius Thomas.
Quoted from fosaisu:And if you don't like that wait, imagine how long it is after next week til pre-season!
I get to watch Kiper's hair for a few months at least
Quoted from centerflank:Who has the video handy of the fan that threw the snowball, I think it hit Simms in the patriot-raider tuck game, now that was funny stuff.
Not the correct video but I found this gem searching for it.

The shimmy shake @3:30 is fantastic!
Hating dogs and being aroused by intestines should be automatic threadban. OP, can you do something?
Quoted from rai:You guys think Shady McCoy does any jail time? He can ask Mike Vick for some pointers. Or do you think this is a civil case?
He needs Pacman's counsel, stat!
I haven't read it either but is there anything new that wasn't reported 20 years ago? He teabagged a trainer, amirite?
Quoted from str8cash:Stat of the day:
Last Super Bowl winning team to start a new QB the next season? 06 Steelers after Big Bens emergency appendectomy.
Who the hell are the Broncos going to pick up? RG3, Fitzpatrick, Kaepernick?
Zach Mettenberger
Quoted from centerflank:I think he meant tits
I meant both. Total dealbreakers!
Given who is available I think Fitz would be a decent pickup for Denver. With the exception of New England, the window for contenders seems to be a few years. If they get him for 2 years guaranteed money, then that's pretty much the end of the current squad anyways. Would hate to risk it on someone flaky.
Apropos of nothing, I saw Fitz at lunch in a Taziki's parking lot one time. He was there with his wife and kids (I assume) and getting out of a well-used Honda Odyssey. He was dressed like anyone else and sporting a Yeti cap and the kids were squealing and he had the "let's just make it through this moment and get some food" face. Since then I've been a fan. Also he was remarkably barrel-chested, unlike McCarron.
Shortly thereafter the Titans dumped him and went 5-27 in their next two seasons!
When Couch was Qb the Browns were winning 4, 5, 6 games a year. In hindsight those were the glory days
Quoted from chuckwurt:Haha. That would be hilarious. Cuntler is a douche and should have to spend the rest of his days in Tenn. haha. Sorry Tennessee and chi town fans.
Its cool bro. Just 6 of us left and we're not easily offended
Yeah alls I know is Goff and Wentz better be the second comings of Banks and Peete or heads are gonna roll.
Also pretty wild Panthers letting Norman walk
Cleveland's a hot mess for sure. They got a bum deal when Gordon threw away his super promising career for weed. Unlike Manziel, I don't recall if there were red flags before drafting. But again, he threw it all away for weed. He could not wait for weed. Future $40M contract vs weed? Dimebag it is! Cleveland just has a knack. I feel for their fan(s?) Maybe this trade will turn the tide!
Was inspired to wiki. Turns out tons of red flags for Gordon. Oh, Cleveland!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josh_Gordon
Quoted from centerflank:Henry to the Titans, you gotta like that Erik?
Half asleep and/or toasty here. Just signed Murray but Henry seems legit. Titans really needed CB help. Unsure if any quality ones were left so can't gripe. IMO Titans ceiling in 2016 is 4 wins so might as well look long term! Roll tide?
Quoted from chuckwurt:Bengals killed it in the draft again. Great value picks and didn't reach for anything. I love how they draft.
Meow that I've had a chance to review, I dont like the Titans draft at all. As far as I can tell they got one starter from the whole deal. For the worst team in the league, that's no bueno. Lowering ceiling to 3 wins!
Quoted from Ronnie1114:Nah, you have Cassel now. Should fill in perfetly
I like your optimism!
Did you guys read this? http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/15472532/how-reche-caldwell-googled-way-patriots-prison
Quoted from Jaybird815:Dang, Goddell dropping the hammer again. Harrison, Mathews,Peppers and Neal will be suspended 4 games if they don't come in for an interview about the PED probe. Interesting
That grinding you hear to the north is CF's teeth being worn down to nubs!
Sucks for Vikes fans.
Titans are going to release Alex Tanney at the cut to 53. Much to our chagrin, because he's been much better than Cassel, but apparently Cassel is the GM's boo. Hoping he can land a spot there or somewhere else after the cut.
Larger leagues have a different dynamic that I find way more enjoyable than 10 team leagues. There's a sense of desperation with 16 teams that you don't get when the free agent pool is full of pro bowlers. When your QB is out in a 10 team league, you got Stafford, Dalton, Mariota as FAs. In a 16 team it's Keenum or Wentz if you're lucky!
Quoted from mcluvin:So I'm trying to analyze my guys and I've made a couple changes. I'm a little confused with a guy like Tajae Sharp vs. my bench WRs. Reading about Tajae, he is a rookie, but it sounds like he is doing well and is going to be a focal point for the Titans vs a couple of my other WRs are maybe just in more limited roles or a declining point in their careers. Am I crazy to start Tajae in the flex spot vs the other options on my bench?
Also I know I should probably dump or trade Mariotta for an RB or WR.
Thanks!
Sharpe is the Titans #1 by a wide margin. With that said, they will only pass out of necessity, so he's a tough fantasy start.
If it's a 10 team league I wouldn't keep Mariota (and I'm a big fan)
So it's that time of year, who you gots for division winners?!
AFC East: Pats
AFC North: Bengals
AFC South: Jags
AFC West: Chieves
NFC East: Gigantes
NFC North: Pack
NFC South: Panthers
NFC West: Cards
Quoted from Jaybird815:Ummm. That's not saying a lot
Hah not much to celebrate after going 5-27 over two seasons! We gotta pick our bright spots!
I still think they could win 4 games this year. Reasonable even to think 5, with a (very) outside shot of 6. Optimism reigns in week 1!
Quoted from dmbjunky:Very surprised you picked the Jags since they haven't won over five games in five years. Colts or Texans are obvious picks from that division.
Fell asleep at halftime, just woke up and read recap. What a game!
I love Luck but he got killed last year and the rest of that roster is rough and they got a weird gm/coach thing going. No confidence in Colts. I don't like picking teams with an unproven qb*, so Texans are out. Titans are a couple years from being competitive after being decimated by an all-time bad gm. So that left me with the Jags, who have gathered some real talent on both sides, but need qb to take the next step.
* On a related note I had given Broncos no chance of winning tonight, so clearly I'm quite the prognosticator!
I don't know that I'm buying into the Jags as much as I'm dubious about the other choices. However I am buying any and all Ramsey hype! Really wanted him back in Tennessee but it was not meant to be
It will be interesting to see if the Titans stick with the "exotic smashmouth" once they're behind, which they will be since they have the worst secondary in the league. In the summer a lot of teams talk about running the ball, controlling time of possession, etc, then the first quarter of week one facing a 3rd-and-two they empty the backfield and go five wide!
Really? That was a pretty egregious helmet-to-helmet hit. Or you mean the contact would have been elsewhere because Newton wouldn't have been so exposed?
I woulda thought commercials were over half the time TBH. lol "shots of players standing around"
I used to use the skip 30 seconds button on recorded games as soon as a play ended. I could watch every second of action in about 20 minutes. That was fun for games I didn't care much about, but you do lose much of the tension that way.
Then I switched to a Harmony touch remote and have not been able to figure out how to program it to simulate that button. So now I'm using two remotes during recorded games like prehistoric man
It works fine other than the loss of 30 second button. I'm not doing anything special with it though. I was having problems with getting the DVR/receiver/TV to power down correctly so I switched to it.
Sharpe should be solid, especially in PPR. I don't see him being much of a TD guy this year but he should be reliable yardage and catches.
Titans play calling last week was absurd. Never saw so many trick plays. More smashmouth, hold the exotic please.
Quoted from SteveO:The Bills scored 31 points on Thursday and they fire their offensive coordinator instead of the Ryan twins.
Suspect if they hadn't fired him he'd be the interim head coach soon! Rex so sneaky
Quoted from dmbjunky:I'm secretly hoping the Cards make the playoffs and beat the Cubs. That would be the ultimate salt in the wound.
My money's on this guy clinching the Cards win in game 7
Is that really Dalton's hair color? It's exactly the color of Bengal orange. I hope that's legit because it's really impressive
Also this just hit me. For all that preseason hype and draft night drama Tunsil ended up playing guard!! I feel kinda jobbed for following any of it.
Tunsil just lined up at tackle, what gives? Does he move to tackle on passing downs? Is the fins OC reading my pinside posts?? Suddenly find myself fascinated with Tunsil again
Quoted from SteveO:It's still not as bad as the gold uniforms the Jags wore last year.
Man I hate uniforms where the socks, pants, and jerseys are the same color. Is that how Thursday always is?
BTW those Oregon uniforms where they dressed up like the duck mascot were fantastic.
sweet Jesus we're 4 weeks in and Mularkey is already breaking out the "we're close" excuses. Close to what? Getting fired? Landing the 1st pick of the draft? Jumping off a bridge?
Quoted from tilt-master:Pryor and Carr for Antonio Brown, Flanker couldn't have approved tht fast enough! WTF?!?
douchey
