[DrHibbert]

Sunday afternoons are now brighter.

Who looks good? Who looks bad?


The Seahawks look bad. Very sloppy 9-6 win today. I'm getting nervous, I hope the offense can start clicking.

Trent green :O bad injury. Hope he's okay.

[mr. dynamite]

member when i whooped up in the first week???
payton manning and the colts D still left to play... in the lead

i dig it , hope you do too!!!

[DrHibbert]

Which team are you? I'm neck and neck with Giants right now. I think that's chuck. It's all down to the Indy/NY game. I have Manning and Burress, and he has Shockey and Toomer. Nice thing is if his guys score a TD, I will too because I have the guy throwing it. But he's ahead by 1 point so I need Burress to do something. He's got 41 yards so far.

[Drunkenmaster]

Go SAINTS!!!

fighting glans...
good week... but i kind of think the bobbleheads owner has forgotten about the season,

i have a great feeling about my squad after today

[mr. dynamite]

how about fucking kurt warner this week?
jesus christ!

i want to see warner have one more all star season

[Drunkenmaster]

jesus christ!

i want to see warner have one more all star season Hopefully, he'll stay healthy all year. Zona has got some great players at the skill postitions. Giving up 24 or whatever to a somewhat improved San Fran team...well, the D will have to get better.

[DrHibbert]

Hopefully he doesn't die on the field. Dude has like 30 concussions.

[Intern Kate]

guys, i love Bledsoe and i don't care what anyone says. i was SO. CLOSE. to crying at the end of the Cowboys/Jaguars game when Dallas finally slipped. aka Drew. SIGH. love him.

also, though i like Dion Branch, i think all the first round picks the Pats are racking up are worth losing him over. though it is a gamble maybe/i guess.

finally, i don't know a lot about football n' stuff. just that i worship Drew Bledsoe. the other day i came across stalker photographs i took of him when my dad brought us to the Patriot's summer training camp a billion years ago.

[Drunkenmaster]

Drew Bledsoe is over, sweetie.

[Narcissistic Nihilist]

The Cowboys, euch.

I see they are already calling for a QB change at Dallas. I'm sure they will have to get T.O.'s permission first.

Nasty injury to Trent Green, glad he is ok. There was a similar incident in the Rugby League relegation decider over here when a player took a bad knock and went cold. Afterwards, he said he couldnt remember the incident, but when asked if he knew what day it was, he said "judgement day". Nice touch.

I was delighted with the start made by Stallworth, and the Eagles offence in general. The defence was a little slow to get going, but really shined when it did. All in all, though, its hard to evaluate too much on one game v Texans. Far more important game v the Gnats today. I'm just glad the rest of the NFC East got off to a losing start. Especially good to see the Cowboys and Redskins throw decent leads away.

Oh yeah, and I was pleased to see the Saints do well, they deserve some good times after what they have been through.

[Intern Kate]

it's not FAIR. he never got the protection he deserved! and now it's too late. :cry: or something.

he is just ... so stoic, like some Greek warrior. i've idolized him since he was drafted to the Patriots and am blindly loyal about things like that. if there's a QB change for Dallas mid-season i know i will cry about it. more than he.

[Intern Kate]

well at least they beat the Redskins.

[Drunkenmaster]

My New Orleans Saints stand at 2-0 with a huge divisional match-up next Monday night for which I will be in attendance. The Falcons have looked really good and their run game seems to be unstoppable. I hope we can find enough defense to keep the run under control and enough offense to score on a very good Falcon's D. All in all it should be a great trip back to the dome after last year.

[i]

Go LLAMAS!!!!

j/k. I am watching more football tho and gradually getting a feel for it. It's not that unlike rugby. I'm still getting used to having such huge teams tho and how the positions are so specialized.

[Narcissistic Nihilist]

Sunday's game was heart-breaking. Some ridiculous decisions, some terrible luck and a load of complacency...and now the Superfreak is out for the season.

Just before OT, Meg sent me a message - "Someone do the heimlich manouvere, the Eagles are choking again. Totally outplayed them for 3/4's, should have put more on the board, but at least we have shown we are a shit-hot team (even if one that needs a lesson in professionalism).

...at least TO has broken his finger :D

Just hope he is back for the Eagles game.

[Narcissistic Nihilist]

..on the way back from the Flyers game last night, there were guys selling T-shirts with "Cowboys Suck, T.O. Swallows" on.

Made me chuckle.

[Drunkenmaster]

That's right, 3-0 baby! I was at the game last night and I've never heard the Dome so loud before. It was a great night, a great win, and I didn't even mind paying $6 for crappy Budweiser.

[kryten]

GO STEELERS!

Ok, now that that’s outta the way, here’s my question. I have the sundayticket package from directv. I’m thinking about getting Superfan (www.heybuttercup.com). Anyone have it? Worth the extra $100? How’s that redzone channel? Anyway, lemme know by next Sunday if you think I should get it.

[DrHibbert]

hmmm I don't know, that link doesn't work.

Seahawks looked fantastic! I jokingly told my friend we'd leave and play tennis as soon as the boys were up by 6 touchdowns. Sure enough, mid 3rd quarter it's 42-3. :) :cheers: And this was against the Giants :O :D. So yeah Alexander is hurt. My prediction, Mo Morris comes in and does fine and the Seahawks do great. I don't know if they'll beat the bears, after all it is in Chicago. I suspect they will, but even if they don't this should be a rocking season.

[gangsta puffin]

Yeah, congrats once again. I had half an eye on the game, but the Phillies were playing. Yeah, beer at US sports venues really, really sucks hard. It is all the worst beer like Bud, Coors lite etc. You have to search hard to find a decent beer.

[gangsta puffin]

^ that was danny btw :o

[Intern Kate]

oh man that's pretty neat that you were there, Shaun. the atmosphere seemed totally charged. (btw, i don't like that Tony announcer guy for Monday night football.) i watched for a bit before passing out because i'm basically 70 years old.

ps, TO trying to kill himself? my bro thinks Dallas is gonna get rid of him, but i'm like "What? you really think so?" i'm also somewhat disturbed by my brother feeling an affinity with him.

[i]

I had a Coors light once. EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWwwww.

I also participated in a Bud drinking contest on Friday. EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWwwwwww again.

[kryten]

hmmm I don't know, that link doesn't work.


Ooops... sorry, here's the link: http://www.heybuttercup.com

Yeah, I was specifically wondering if anyone has superfan how they manage the audio for the 8 games on 1 screen channel? Is it silent, or a mix, or what? And does anyone have just sunday ticket?

[DrHibbert]

Wow, that looks cool. I'd get it. :yes: I think you select which game to focus on for audio, etc. I don't have sunday ticket or I'd probably get this.

What I really wanted was the college gameplan, but I can't get it in my area. :boring: I can only get it for internet, but I did that last year and it was really glitchy and slow a lot of the time.

[kryten]

Heh, just read your other message more carefully, I think we'll be routing against one another. My pop would kill me if I didn't back the Bears.

I just realized that the only way to see the games in HD with directv is superfan, so that clinches it. I thought you could see them with just sundayticket, but no. Just got my HD receiver three weeks ago, figure it's about time to use my awesome 67" screen for something other than gaming.

[Barbara]

jeez, the Chiefs suck this year. WHY LAWD? :cry:

[DrHibbert]

Yeah, I don't know what's up with the Chiefs. LJ is killing my fantasy team.

Kryten, I don't think the Bears can handle the Seahawks. I could be wrong. Good for us it's not December in Chicago. Should be a good game; someone's going to be 4-0 on Monday. Looking forward to it.

Come back on here to chat during the game if you get a chance.

[kryten]

Damn, I have to wait to next week for superfan because I'm lazy and didn't order it in time. Oh well. Probably be out at the sports bars this Sunday/Monday night.

[DrHibbert]

Hats off to the Bears. They looked great last night. I'll be rooting for them this season. Hopefully if these two teams meet in the playoffs it'll be in Seattle, hehe.

That Jets/Colts ending was wild. Looks like the Jets almost pulled it off. And Drew Bledsoe is tearing it up again. Dallas looks good too, argh...

[mr. dynamite]

seahawks stunk up the joint
BACK to being a historically awful football team!

[kryten]

Yay, my superfan gets activated today! So I'll at least get tonight in HD. And yeah, sorry Seahawks, but my pappy sure is happy that his Bears cleaned up the field with them.

[mr. dynamite]

the first of many humiliating defeats for the peehawks
ZInggz

[Drunkenmaster]

Wow, I wouldn't right them off after one game. :O

[DrHibbert]

seahawks stunk up the joint
BACK to being a historically awful football team!

lol kurt. I know you're not really that stupid.

[kryten]

NFL cheerleaders in HD.... ;) Thank u superfan!

[Peter]

Wow, I wouldn't right them off after one game. :O

yeah, no shit...they lose one game and all of a sudden they stink? It should also be noted that their first three wins were essentially without Shaun Alexander...and considering he was the MVP last year, I'd say his absence should have impacted them more but really didn't.

[Drunkenmaster]

fuck, i'm a moron. i meant *write.

[Narcissistic Nihilist]

Its good to see the Bills keeping it tight and finally having someone challenge the Bears dominance.

[Narcissistic Nihilist]

How the hell am I supposed to get to sleep after that! :D

I have work in 6 hours and having seen my man Lito score a 102 yard TD to top off a total destruction of the Dallas Shitboys, I am just way too pumped!

Meg is down at Chickies and Petes in South Philly, (just across the road from the Linc), and she put the phone up so I could hear everybody whilst she got a beer shower at the end! God I LOVE that town, no one can compete with that level of passion. Just gutted I couldnt be there in person.

So many positives to take out of the game, McNabb's 3rd 300 plus yardage in 5 games, Westbrook back, an awesome defensive display. What was it? ANOTHER 6 sacks, 3 INT, and more forced fumbles. I dont have the stats at hand right now. Of course, add to that T. O. being utterly useless, miserable and totally exploding and the vacant, brain-dead stare of that cunt Bledsoe looking like he was about to cry into Parcells fat belly.
The T-shirts said it all: "Dallas Suck, T.O. Swallows"
There has been more than a little bit of justice served tonight.
Utterly joyous! :D :D

[Drunkenmaster]

Saints and the Eagles next week, Danny! :cheers:

[Narcissistic Nihilist]

Saints and the Eagles next week, Danny! :cheers:

Indeed! Both teams are 4-1, and going in on a high...

[Barbara]

Yaaay for the Eagles!!! YAY 4 THE CHIEFS TOO!!! :D I watched the Eagles game instead and was mad when they never showed highlights of the Chiefs game afterward...that's the freakin' local team!! Those bastards :cry: Sunday was a good night :D

Next week will be a good one with the 4-1 Saints vs. the 4-1 Eagles, looking forward to it

(edit) also Danny I also got a kick out of TO being all pissy and yelling hahaha... no one loves a ghetto cowboy ;)

[Narcissistic Nihilist]

I think Im gonna post this in the silly pics thread too. On our coverage of the game, you could choose to watch either game on sunday. Sky has an interactive service, where they have a choice of two 6pm (1pm EST) games and 2 9.15pm (4.15pm EST) games, or just a constantly updated package of highlights. Channel 5 shows the Monday night game, but with a kick off of 1.30am, you can understand it has a limited audience here. It is a feed from the US broadcasters, 3 secs ahead for some reason, as I found out when I was on the phone to Meg and we tried to synch the clock on screen! They also provide regular updates of all games and when there is a commercial break in the US, we show bits of other games, and keep in touch. So I saw regular highlights of the Chiefs game, which sounded like a cracker too.

The Eagles should win next Sunday. The Saints have had a little of their bubble burst. Sure they had a narrow defeat at Carolina, but they only just beat a poor Bucs side and I dont think there will be anything close to the same emotion in their second game back in the Dome as against the Falcons. It will be very tough though, and I'm sure the Eagles wont be complacent about it. Will be interesting to see if Stallworth plays.

[Drunkenmaster]

Yeah, I have a feeling that Philly will win this weekend. I must say, though, Bruce Gradkowski is 10X the QB that Chris Sims is which would explain the somewhat potent offense the Bucs put up last Sunday. That, and the fact that the Saints did a piss-poor job of stopping the run. What can I say? I hope we can pull it out. I'll probably be there.

For shits and giggles I was looking at the prices of tickets on ebay before. There was two tickets for the game that went for less than $160 which was fairly reasonable.

[DrHibbert]

Dallas is very stupid for signing T.O.

Seahawks have a big game with St. Louis this week. It will likely be very close, good game to watch. I think Philly will take NO, but NO surprises me every week. Looks like Bush is doing alright down there, for a rookie.

Tatum Bell is looking very good so far for Denver, and Grossman's having a good year for the Bears, although I've never liked him much. Alexander's healing quickly and may play this weekend.

[Drunkenmaster]

Saints tickets are among the cheapest in the league second to only Atlanta, I believe. Funny story: before the Atlanta game I was hanging out at my favorite bar and they had a guy in there who said he got his tickets for the game from some Philly guy who bought 300 Saints season tickets just for the Saints/Eagles game! He was selling off all the other tickets so he better hope the Saints keep playing well.

Tatum Bell is looking very good so far for Denver, and Grossman's having a good year for the Bears, although I've never liked him much. Alexander's healing quickly and may play this weekend. Bush will do better once he learns how to run in the NFL. In the Pac 10, he could pull all the triple-juke-spin away-stutter step stuff. That doesn't work in the NFL because there are D-lineman that are faster than some of the linebackers he went against in college. He's learning and looking better each week. He's become a big threat in the slot position which is where his value is most noticeable since slot receivers generally get covered by LB's if it's a 4-3 or 3-4 base. His punt return for a TD was great because when he caught it he just took off and beat one guy and the blocks were set up for him down the field. He's very fun and exciting to watch and I can only hope that he continues to get better each week.

[DrHibbert]

True, but I'm pretty sure that's not just true in the Pac 10. I know how you love to dog the Pac, but the college game is obviously not as fast as the pro game in any conference.

Monday night - Chicago and Arizona? :therock: Who chose that matchup? Should be a landslide. Maybe even as bad as the Eagles/Seahawks game last year.

[Drunkenmaster]

Well, of course I meant college in general. He just faced a majority of Pac 1 teams in his career.

[Drunkenmaster]

5-1 going into the bye week! Couldn't be happier. Next game is Baltimore at home in 2 weeks. The Dome was especially loud yesterday.

[Barbara]

Might be early but I'm predicting Saints go to the superbowl this year. They're doing great :) It sucks that the eagles lost but I like both teams.

Gawd, and the Chiefs are back to sucking again :( that game against the steelers was a slaughter :cry:

[Narcissistic Nihilist]

Nah, as much as the Saints are rapidly becoming everyones second favourite team, they just arent that good and will need a hell of a lot of luck to get there.

Credit has to be given to Payton for getting the team doing so well (coach of the year already?), but it is gonna take more than just team spirit and high confidence to get to the Bowl, especially considering that means getting past the Bears.

The Saints played out of their fucking skins on Sunday, which wouldnt have been enough alone to beat the Eagles, but, lets face it, the Eagles fucking sucked in the 1st half. Donovan taking too long with receivers out clear, Westbrook kept going nowhere, the defense was in utter chaos (no one knew what anyone else was doing), Moats ran into Dexter Wynn on the punt return, and as for the penalties! Fucking hell, they must have lost 50 yds!!

At least they got their act together in the 2nd half and there should have been no way that they were going to lose when they went in front and the class shone through, but the final TD was appalling. There was nobody within 5 yards of Horn. It should have been no more than a consolation, but they had left themselves too much to do.

I dont want to take anything away from the Saints, they deserved to win it, but I still insist they shouldn't have! If the Eagles even played their average game, they would have won, but hey, they didnt, so they didnt win. Maybe they underestimated the Saints, maybe they didnt expect their confidence to be so high, whatever, they blew it.

I just cant decide whether it is a good or bad thing that nobody has really outplayed them this year. They should be 6-0 but have lost two games when they were too casual and paid the heavy price. I'm leaning towards the bad.


Mind you, if we lose to the Bucs, all that goes out of the window.

[Barbara]

yeah, that's always the problem I have with my two favorite teams, the eagles and the chiefs...when they play their best, it's like god DAMN :D but when they play sloppy, it's like ARRGH WANT TO KILL!! :guns:

ps - what teams do you hate Danny? ;) just curious

I hate the cowboys, mostly cause everyone around here is all OMG COWBOYS RULE! and it helps that TO's on the team now
and I hate the fucking broncos, cause their coach looks insane and they're good :cry:

Aww C'mon, EVERYONE hates the cowboys! Thats what they are there for. Apart from the obvious teams (ie the rest of NFC East), I also depsise the Pats (mostly because of that cunt Brady, who has a face that just needs smacking),
the Dolphins (although that isnt real hatred, I just find them so bland, and living off the past OMFGFGHFF GOODDD! DAN MARINO IS SOOOOO FUCKIKKING COOOL MAN!)
the Raiders (cant really put my finger on it, maybe its because I am listening to Danzig right now, and I have to rock out, or maybe its because they I find the fans just another bunch of vacant LA knobheads. Oh yeah, sorry, OAKLAND knobheads. I forgot there are no fans in LA anymore :rolleyes: )
and Atlanta (because they arrogant pricks who always think they can out-muscle the Eagles. Like, yeah, right!) oh and all this Michael Vick arse-kissing is annoying. The guy is entertaining as hell, but I'd much rather have a QB who can throw the ball better than be able to run like him. Or you could have McNabb who can do both! Granted, no other QB can do what Vick does, but whose arm would you much rather have?

Of course, there are players I particularly dont like, and vice versa.

To balance it up, lets name some other teams I like. I admire the way the Bears and Seahawks play the game. Despite Sunday, I like the Saints for the obvious reasons. I have a soft spot for the Packers, god knows why. Must be something about people who are willing to be on tv with cheese on their heads without a gun being pointed at their head. Gotta admire that.

[Narcissistic Nihilist]

Oh, and I REALLY hate the Chiefs!!!!!
























kidding ;)

[Barbara]

most of the cowboys fans around here (and there's a lot of them) are these fucking middle-aged good ol' boys who listen to mainstream country music, talk with a thick southern accent even though Kansas isn't exactly southern and has more of a mix of different dialects, and just act like they wish Kansas was Texas. bleh :D

oh man, and I hate the Raiders so much that I forgot to mention them! fuck the Raiders and fuck Billy Corgan and his fucking Raiders hat on the booklet for the aeroplane box set :cry:

and while we're at it, fuck the Patriots too :D

As for teams I like, I also really like the Seahawks, the Saints, and the Panthers

[mc_festus]

FINALLY! THE RAIDERS FINALLY FUCKING WON! i dont know what it is, but i've always had the worst luck in picking teams. i like the raiders, the cubs, and the warriors, and all of them have sucked for years.:cry: well, at least i can be happy this week, even though we beat one of the shittiest teams in the league

[Narcissistic Nihilist]

Right, thats it. The season's over. Roll on next September!





I'm beginning to think FG's as time expires should be banned.

[Drunkenmaster]

The Eagles have had a horrible run of luck lately. Anytime you get beat on last second FG's 2 weeks in a row not to mention a 62!! yarder, you know there's something at work against your team. The thing is, the Eagles have played pretty good football and I'm sure things will start to go their way before it's too late.

Lets not forget the field goal in the dying seconds to tie the game for the Giants and the ensuing loss in OT. 3 times in half a season?

Dude, it is too late. Its not luck, its the Eagles. This is normality to us. If we lose these games, when we have some tough ones in the 2nd half of the season, I am beginning to dread what will happen. Can someone tell me how we lost a game were Westbrook rushed over 100, received for over a 100 and McNabb passed over 300, and rushed for about 67 yards, (i think it was), were the Bucs got nowhere near those figures!!!??

Ah, screw it. Doesnt matter now.

[Intern Kate]

the vacant, brain-dead stare of that cunt Bledsoe looking like he was about to cry into Parcells fat belly.


hey, i don't care about all the rest. i'm no Cowboy's fan. but lay off my poor, demoted, cunty hero. pls. :(

[Narcissistic Nihilist]

hey, i don't care about all the rest. i'm no Cowboy's fan. but lay off my poor, demoted, cunty hero. pls. :(

Sorry, but he's a cowboy, its not exactly personal. Part of the turf, Im afraid. You should hear what the Cowboys fans say about McNabb!

I dont think they should have dropped him, myself, but hey ho, thats (the game you guys call, at least) football.

[Drunkenmaster]

I still think Bledsoe gives the Cowboys their best chance of being mediocre. Romo will probably make them worse. Their problem is not the QB it's the dreadful offensive line. When you can't successfully run the football, teams can play the pass in nickle coverages and that's why the Cowgirls turn theball over so much. So, while T.O. seemed like a great pick-up for the Cows, he was not necessary. They should've spent that money on some O-linemen.

Damn straight. I still recall several times against the Eagles seeing Bledsoe stand up straight, just before the snap and draw the finger across his throat. He was doing it in plenty of time, but the O-line did nothing to stop him getting mauled in the blitz time and time again.

[Intern Kate]

these posts warmed my cockles, whatever those are, for whichever reason. then of course Romo had to go and be awesome or decent or something. i want to die and go to the Elysian fields with Drew Bledsoe. you know because i envision him as a Greek hero and all?

anywho. i guess i'm supposed to pay attention to the Pats now. Indy, big game!

[Drunkenmaster]

Go Colts!

[Intern Kate]

ha ha, shit. way to go Brady.

[Intern Kate]

i don't usually harbor grudges in these cases but it was nice to see Vinatieri miss that field goal and the crowd go wildish.

[Drunkenmaster]

He missed 2!! What a choke artist. They were talking about how he got to the stadium an hour before his teamates and he was so excited to be back and then he goes out there and chokes, TWICE! That's just plain funny. Glad the Colts won, though. I'm tired of the Pats and Belichik and his cut-off sweatshirts.

[Narcissistic Nihilist]

Well after the debacle against the Dolphins, I was not surprised to see the Bears return to form. That defeat for the Giants means they are just one game ahead of the Eagles now. You never know, the Eagles deserve some luck and we might go 12-4 with a slice of it! Although we do have to play Indy!

[DrHibbert]

I can't wait for Shaun Alexander and Matt Hasselbeck get back. Mo Morris actually had a decent game yesterday, which was nice. He really ought to, considering the holes he's seeing. And Seneca's been alright, but he's no Hasselbeck. The receiving corps is already scary, and when Engram comes back it will be a joy to see.

Congratulations to Houston for beating Jacksonville again. Strange how they've got their number.

I too was not surprised to see the Bears hand it to the Giants. Both of those teams are utterly unpredictable. The Giants need to get a new quarterback. He's just not Peyton, folks.

[Drunkenmaster]

I've quite enjoyed watching Seneca.

What IS the fucking deal with the Jags? Surely the most random, unpredictable team in the NFL.

Everyone seemd to be leaning to the Giants after the Bears lost to the Dolphins, particularly their awful rush defense performance, and after all, the Giants dont have Peyton, but they do have Tiki.

[ok]

.......i love me some jags.

*flys away*

[Drunkenmaster]

Nobody loves the Jags. They have a winning team every year and they can't even sell out the stadium.

[Narcissistic Nihilist]

:cry:

[Drunkenmaster]

That's a damn shame, Danny.

[Barbara]

bwaha, Chiefs beat the Raiders :D


... Eagles...Donovan...why...:cry:

[Narcissistic Nihilist]

I told you the season was over when we lost to the Bucs, you believe me now! Donovan might not even make the start of next season. "..8 to 12 months out"

Meghan says they should just quit with the Flyers squad and go have a golf tournamnet somewhere.

[Drunkenmaster]

Who the hell is the backup?

[Intern Kate]

i can't believe no one mentioned Dallas breaking Indy's streak. what the eff was up with THAT. i only would've been delighting in it had my darling Drew been in. sigh. how hollow and meaningless.

btw, it's my brother's contention that some head coaches are opting to wear jackets and ties at games being so absolutely appalled by Belichek's hideous sweatshirts. i love my Pats and creepily nerdy Bill, but his sweatshirt stylings perplex and disgust me.

Who the hell is the backup?
Jeff Garcia. Don't ask me much about him, becuase I just don't know. Didnt play too bad on Sunday, but of course, Donovan he aint.

Google him, it will tell you more about him than I could.

[Narcissistic Nihilist]

i can't believe no one mentioned Dallas breaking Indy's streak. what the eff was up with THAT. i only would've been delighting in it had my darling Drew been in. sigh. how hollow and meaningless.

btw, it's my brother's contention that some head coaches are opting to wear jackets and ties at games being so absolutely appalled by Belichek's hideous sweatshirts. i love my Pats and creepily nerdy Bill, but his sweatshirt stylings perplex and disgust me.
That is because the Cowboys suck and nobody likes them, and the fact that I backed the Colts and would have won £273 ($540) if they would have won, and they should have won. :mad:

Oh and I would surprised if Bledsoe ever plays for the Cowboys again. Too slow, cumbersome and immobile, and also the fact that Romo has been much better. Mind you, I would surprised if he plays anywhere again, who would want him at his age?

From Wiki:

He signed a contract with the Cleveland Browns on March 9, 2004. In the summer of 2004, wide receiver Terrell Owens, a former 49ers teammate, gave an interview for Playboy magazine where he implied that Garcia was homosexual.

Hmmmm. I have heard of that Owens guy before somewhere...

yeah, i wasn't expecting him (Drew) to (play again). at least with the Cowboys. i was just articulating my fantasy. maybe some team will sign him on as a mentor behind-the-lines qb for a season or something. i really have no idea, just speculating.

sorry 'bout the money there bro. what were the odds! srsly.

[Narcissistic Nihilist]

Well, TV companies always like QB's as co-commentators!

It was even money, but I had an accumulator on the handicaps: Raiders (with 9.5 point start), Bears (-7.5), Ravens (-3.5), Bengals (straight win), Pats (-5.5), Steelers (-3.5 which was a close one!), Bills (straight win), and the fucking Colts (straight win).

[Drunkenmaster]

Oh, I'm well familiar with Jeff Garcia. Good luck going .500 the rest of the way.

[Narcissistic Nihilist]

Oh, I'm well familiar with Jeff Garcia. Good luck going .500 the rest of the way.
I appreciate your good wishes but we need a lot more than that to end up with .500.

The really sad thing about our loss in Indianapolis is that it cannot be directly attributed to Donovans abscence. Sure the team can let their heads down but losing a QB cannot explain away the D conceding 45 points.

[Drunkenmaster]

Actually, I thought Garcia played pretty well last week. I really need the Eagles to beat Carolina this week.

[Drunkenmaster]

C'mon Eagles!!!

[Drunkenmaster]

Thanks, Eggles!

[The Chuck]

Garcia's a quality QB who can still win some games. Very similar to Tony Romo, decent arm......good mobility. He was awesome in SF, and he just picked apart the Panthers D for three scores. They'll be ok.

[Drunkenmaster]

WHO DAT!!??!!?

[Narcissistic Nihilist]

DING DONG THE GNATS ARE DEAD, THE WICKED GNATS ARE DEAD!

[Drunkenmaster]

I wouldn't have thought so, but the Eagles are looking pretty good right now and Garcia's done a terrific job of playing mistake-free football. I hope you guys make it to the wild card.

[Narcissistic Nihilist]

Screw that! A Christmas day win and we are top of the division!

I know, I heard that today. Hopefully the Saints will beat the Gnats this weekend if that'll help at all.

[Narcissistic Nihilist]

Well the Eagles v Cowboys game was well worth staying up for. Some highly intelligent work with the ball, grounding the Dallas D into the ground, and standing tall in the D themselves, it looks like the Eagles are picking up at the right time. I have been impressed with Garcia, too. A win at the Linc against the Falcons and probably the Gnats there again, and we would all be set up for an Eagles v Saints game for a place in the NFC final. Looks like the Eagles can get a lot of revenge in....

[gangsta puffin]

AWWWWWW YEAH

he needs to put that goopy, sticky stuff on his hands that the kid in the movie Little Giants does.

[Narcissistic Nihilist]

Oh, but Little T has sore fingers! You HAVE to feel sorry for him!

[Narcissistic Nihilist]

So this weekend:

Dolts v Beefs
Peehawks v Cowgirls
Prats v Wets
Eggles v Gnats.

Any thoughts?

I have a sneaking feeling KC will upset Indy. They are quite a tough team and the Colts look to be fading fast yet again. Should be a TD-fest either way.
The game in Seattle is a total toss-up. Two completely inconsistent teams. The Seahawks are always better at home, so I will plump for them.
I have another sneaking feeling for the Jets, but my sensible side has told me I am being ridiculous.
..and finally the Eagles must SURELY beat the piss poor Giants. Awful secondary. Prone to disintegration and undeserving of a wild card with an 8-8 record. The Eagles should have a bye too! Concentrate on stopping the runs from Tiki and they cant do bugger all.

[Barbara]

I hope so!! Everyone here thought the Chiefs were doomed but I was pleasantly surprised to learn that they're still hangin' on! I hope the Eagles win too Danny :D

[Drunkenmaster]

I'll take the Colts, Pats, Seahawks, and Eggles.

I like the Colts because they are home and on artificial turf. It will be high scoring, though.

[Narcissistic Nihilist]

I'll take the Colts, Pats, Seahawks, and Eggles.
Ach, just go for the favourites then! One wild card will probably make it at least.

[Drunkenmaster]

Home field is very powerful come playoff time. Don't tell that to the Steelers, though.

[DrHibbert]

I think the Eagles will do very well. I've always thought Garcia was pretty good, even at San Fran. It won't surprise me at all if they win the NFC.

Now the Seahawks, I don't know. I think it'll be a very close game against the cows, and hopefully the home field advantage will carry over. I really hope so, because I'd love to see them get a shot at the Bears.

[Drunkenmaster]

GOOOO SAINTS!!!1!!1

[Narcissistic Nihilist]

Home field is very powerful come playoff time. Don't tell that to the Steelers, though.
Sure, but I feel someone is going to miss out. A lot has to do with current form. The Steelers got that one down to a tee last year.

Yeah, I am hoping for a Seahawks v Bears game. That would need an Eagles win though. Garcia is no Donovan, but he sure is no douche.

[Narcissistic Nihilist]

I will cheer for your Eagles this week if you cheer against your Eagles next week.

Yeah, I am hoping for a Seahawks v Bears game. That would need an Eagles win though. Garcia is no Donovan, but he sure is no douche. If I Had to pick an upset I'd probably look no further than Indy. If they don't jump out early they will lose to the Chefs. Yes, I mean Chefs.

NO DEAL

Imagine that. Losing to a side who spends all their time in the kitchen rather than out on the pratice field. :cry:

[Drunkenmaster]

There was a commercial a few years back where a guy was painting the "CHIEFS" in the endzone, only he painted "CHEFS." I think it was one of those Snickers "Not going anywhere for a while?" commercials.

[Narcissistic Nihilist]

heh heh!
I hope the Chefs are going to be painting Indy's endzone a lot in a few minutes time.

[Narcissistic Nihilist]

Well that game was rather unexpected.

Who would have thought that the big stars were the Colts D???? :O

[Drunkenmaster]

Yeah, if you told me that Peyton would throw 3 picks and the Colts D would save the day I'd have laughed in your face.

Side note: What a game by Joseph Addai. It's nice to see him representing LSU well in the NFL.

[Narcissistic Nihilist]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[gangsta puffin]

THERE IS ONLY ONE THING AS GOOD AS WATCHING THE EAGLES WIN.

THAT IS WATCHING DALLAS LOSE.

wonder if TO's on suicide watch?

[Drunkenmaster]

I'll bet Bledsoe wouldn't have fumbled that snap.

[Narcissistic Nihilist]

I'll bet Bledsoe wouldn't have fumbled that snap.

Could it be any more humiliating?

I have to be careful, the Eagles havent won yet.

[Narcissistic Nihilist]

OMG, this is so funny it should be illegal.
http://tonyhomo.com/

[Narcissistic Nihilist]

7:39
Pass interference in the end zone! Some guy just said "There's a flag on the field!"

Then I was like "There's a fag on the bench!" and pointed at Homo!

So good. Anyway. first and goal on the one.

7:37
Fourth and short, about... 8 Burgers maybe? Coach decides to kick the field goal.

If you don't trust your quarterback to get 1 yard for you, who can you trust?

7:30
Another Julius Jones run. Each one of them is a slap in the face of Romo.

If only I could put a note on Julius' back that says "I DONT TRUST YOU!" -- coach, so Homo can see that during every rushing play.
Cant. Stop. Laughing.

[DrHibbert]

Wow. That was ridiculous. To suck that bad, and yet, not suck quite as much as the other guys.

Rex Grossman's going to have to really live up to his shitty ass hype and incompetence for the Seahawks to win next weekend.

Rooting for the Eagles because I hate the Giants and because I think the Seahawks' chances are better against the Bears than at New Orleans. Brees would tear us to shreds, and Grossman could single-handedly lose any game. Jets/Pats? I dunno, I'm just hoping that's a decent game, may not even watch.

[DrHibbert]

Who does Indy have next week? I wouldn't want to be the team to have to play them right now...

Yeah, for most of the game Hasselbeck was all over the place. He looked clueless and not the great QB from last year. He did improve though and surely he cant be as bad in the next game (hoping it is the Bears).
Who does Indy have next week? I wouldn't want to be the team to have to play them right now...
The Colts are playing the Ravens, I do believe.

Can Jamal Lewis do what LJ couldnt for KC? Not to mention the mouth-watering prospect of Manning and the Colts offence against the Baltimore D.

I think the Jets might run New England close.......till the 4th quarter when the Pats will run away with it.

[Narcissistic Nihilist]

GET IN YOU FUCKING BEAUTY!!!!!!!

Right, I can go to sleep now. My alarm is going to wake me up in 4 hours to make sure I catch my plane for Philadelphia tomorrow. Gonna feel like shit but it will be worth it. At least I am going to go to a happy city!

See you in the Big Easy.

[Barbara]

Congrats Danny :D we were really happy to see the Eagles win!
As for Kansas City... gawd, wtf?! :cry: The offense played a terrible game and the defense did the best they could to make up for it, but when they can't get a fucking 1st down until the 3rd fucking quarter you know things aren't going too well... :(

[Intern Kate]

I'll bet Bledsoe wouldn't have fumbled that snap.

:love:

i'm happy the Eagles won but missed seeing it. happy the Pats won, too.

[Drunkenmaster]

SAINTS SAINTS SAINTS!!

[Drunkenmaster]

PHILADELPHIA -- Eagles Pro Bowl cornerback Lito Sheppard will miss Saturday's second-round playoff game against New Orleans with a dislocated right elbow.

Sheppard was injured going for a tackle on a running play in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 23-20 victory over the New York Giants. He was replaced by Rod Hood.

William James, who was inactive against the Giants, will take Sheppard's roster spot and join Hood, Sheldon Brown and Joselio Hanson in the secondary.

Should the Eagles advance, it's possible Sheppard could return to the lineup.

"It's a little tricky," coach Andy Reid said Monday. "This week for sure he won't be back. We'll see down the road, if there is a down the road."

Sheppard missed three games with an ankle injury in September, but had six interceptions and earned his second trip to the Pro Bowl.

The Eagles already are without five-time Pro Bowl quarterback Donovan McNabb and three-time Pro Bowl defensive end Jevon Kearse.


------That could be big against our passing attack.

[Nymphadora]

I had such high hopes for the Bears, but with Grossman's inconsistency (or lately just plain sucking) and our terrible performance against the Packers a week ago doesn't leave me with much hope. I don't think our defense will be able to get us out of this one.

Maybe Grossman will stop buckling under pressure and end the season with a bang, but I doubt it.

Am I the only Bears fan here?

[Drunkenmaster]

No, Grossman sucks. The Bears are likely doomed.

[DrHibbert]

I have a feeling Grossman is going to live up to his suckiness, have a terrible game, and the Bears will still win a close one. I just haven't seen much out of the Seahawks to indicate they can find a way to win this one. The running game has been sporadic, but generally awful. The passing game will have to be A+ to win it. Or they get Hutchinson to show up and dress up in a Seahawks uniform, then we can run again.

Eagles/Saints - wow, this one's tough to predict. If the Eagles get up early I think they could hammer the Saints, just with their playoff experience. But I think if New Orleans stays close they will win.

Edit: Anyone want to throw out predictions for this weekend?
Chicago-24, Seattle 17
New Orleans-28, Philadelphia-24
Indianapolis 20, Baltimore-19
Chargers-30, Patriots-14

[Drunkenmaster]

I actually see the Saints jumping out early like they've done most of the season. Then, the dome-field advantage takes over. It'll be louder than the Monday night game agains the Falcons. I like the Saints in a VERY close game. 24-21? It'd be weird to win by an FG again but bookmakers usually give 3 pts for the home team. It could probably go either way. The Saints have to be on their game from the get-go, unlike after the bye week against the Ravens. It probably comes down to who wins the turnover battle.

[DrHibbert]

So now I have 50 on the Eagles +6 against the Saints. Hopefully it'll be a close one at least. :)

[Drunkenmaster]

+6 seems kinda hight to me. I'd call it at Eagles +3 just for the homefield.

[DrHibbert]

Yeah, I thought that was high too. I didn't pick the line. I have an open invitation to some friends for any of the underdogs this weekend (Indy +4, New England +4.5). A couple people have jumped on New Orleans.

[Drunkenmaster]

As well they should. You picked Philly to win?

[DrHibbert]

I picked Philly to be closer than 6.

[Drunkenmaster]

Tonight's the big game. I love you Philly fans but I really hope your team loses.

[Drunkenmaster]

I picked Philly to be closer than 6. Last line I saw was the Saints by 8.5.

[DrHibbert]

Wow, what book do you use? 6 is the biggest I've seen, and I've seen it as small as 5. I looked at several books, too. Needless to say, I'd love to have gotten 8.5, but I need to find this mystical sportsbook.

[Drunkenmaster]

It was on the radio here yesterday. Not sure which book. I shoulda said "last line I heard."

[Drunkenmaster]

I honestly never thought I'd see the Saints play in the NFC championship game. Ever.

PS- What the hell was Andy Reid thinking not going for it on that last 4th and 15 when his defense was giving up about 8 yds a carry to Deuce. Was he hoping Reggie would fumble again?

[simpsonopraphic]

Die Seahawks, die.

[DrHibbert]

Man, I thought we had a really good chance to win. Still kind of surprised the Seahawks played that well and lost. Hats off to the Bears.

All 4 underdogs beat the spread, too bad I didn't get more action on my bets.

[gangsta puffin]

PS- What the hell was Andy Reid thinking not going for it on that last 4th and 15 when his defense was giving up about 8 yds a carry to Deuce. Was he hoping Reggie would fumble again?

[Barbara]

Might be early but I'm predicting Saints go to the superbowl this year. They're doing great :) It sucks that the eagles lost but I like both teams.


lol I wrote that on Oct. 19th...funny how it still applies

well, sad for Philly, but...go saints!

[Drunkenmaster]

:love:

[Tweety]

The Saints are going to get their asses handed to them this weekend, frozened. I am going for the Colts, but history says they will choke again.

I wish I was on this thread sooner so that I could rub in every time my 'boys win! Rest assured that there will be plenty of time for that next season. Believe me, ya'll are really going to hate the Cowboys next season! :lol:

[Drunkenmaster]

No, I've always hated the 'girls. The Saints will be fine this weekend.

[Nymphadora]

The Saints are going to whoop the Bears' asses. If they don't it'll be a bloody miracle.

Such a close game. Hank was on his way to score and we got pulled back for a fucking offside!! That was the difference between winning and losing. Some strange decisions from the officials, but hey, some strange ones from Reid too. The punt looked like as mistake all the way. We could easily take on that Saints defence, we ripped them apart the play before! Overall, once again it was the penalties which have plagued us all season, and letting the Saints convert on 3rd and long way too often. Still, such a tight game. Who would have thought that the only game that didnt go down to the wire was the one with zero TD's?
Man, I thought we had a really good chance to win. Still kind of surprised the Seahawks played that well and lost. Hats off to the Bears.

You did have a good chance to win. It sounds obvious, but that could have gone either way. You got first possession in OT after all.

So you wouldnt be doing much rubbing in then? By the way, rub in what, exactly? That you can actually win a game? Wow, I wish our teams could do that! Yeah, there will be plenty of time for us to give you your condolencies next season. We hate the Cowgirls already, why would next season be any different? Can you remember what it is like to win a division title, or are you still too young?
No, I've always hated the 'girls. The Saints will be fine this weekend.
I hope so. I really, really want the Saints to win it now. I'm on your side now, buddy.
The Saints are going to whoop the Bears' asses. If they don't it'll be a bloody miracle.
I dunno. Unfortunately, I doubt it matters as I can see the AFC team winning easily whatever the match-up.

Heart wants Saints. Head says Pats. -throws up-

[Drunkenmaster]

I'm not liking this snow forecast this weekend. It'll slow down both teams but the Saints depend on converting 3rd downs through the air. If Payton spreads the field and runs Deuce like Seattle did with Alexander I think we will be fine. Either way, I want Deuce to have at least 30 touches. In normal weather I think the Saints are an easy favorite. With the weather it's more of a toss up.

[The Chuck]

The only way the Saints are gonna win that one is if Grossman tries to emulate Joe Montana again, which is entirely possible. But I don't think Lovie Smith's gonna let that happen. Expect Benson and Jones to get damn near 55 touches between the two of them. If it snows, the Saints chances are zero. That being said, I would love to see them win.....good for football, and New Olreans.

[Drunkenmaster]

Hey, Danny. Have a look at the guy who could be the Eagles starting free safety next year:

The Cowboys always put on a good show, no matter what the outcome is. I love watching other teams get so "high" when they are leading the Cowboys, every team wants to beat them. They know that everything is bigger in Texas, and that everywhere the Cowboys go they always have many fans in the stands. I can rub in that stuff all day.

They always put on a good show of fucking up. The Seahawks will testify to that. They provided no other entertainment in that game. They were absolutely awful. The Seahawks played like crap and still won it, which says it all about the Cowboys. Leading the Cowboys is no different to leading any other team. If you really think they are special, or unique, then you are very, very wrong. The Cowboys are small fry in the NFC, let alone the whole NFL. The team is currently disintegrating all over the place. Coaching and playing staff have no stability.

Holy shit, he's getting in there untouched. If I was an offensive coordinator, I'd have an eye on him all day, just to protect my QBs life.

P.s. Yes, Snow will effect both teams and Deuce and Reggie are very good backs. That being said, expect the snow to neutralize the passing attack of both teams. All things being equal, basically what you have left are 2 good running backs rushing against the Bears D vs 2 good backs rushing against the Saints D. Bears clearly have the edge in the snow.

Apparently egos are big in Texas, too. I think the Saints are still scoring on that Dallas D.

[Drunkenmaster]

Fucking hell! And he is a safety? Jesus, he is lethal.

Oh, yeah! I'm not sure if he falls all the way to the Eagles because some mock drafts have him going to the Panthers, but others have him being an Eagle. Whoever gets him is lucky because he's an amazing player.

I was being partly sarcastic about always putting on a good show (the fucking up with style). To be frank, I was satisfied with the way their season ended, it's always something worthy of the theatrical stage. I knew it wasnt their year anyway with the lagging secondary and whooped o-line. But why do you say "disintegrating"? The team is in much better shape after Parcells took over, they used to start Quincy Carter!!! Tony Romo hasn't yet proved he is one of the best, but I don't think there is any question whether the Cowboy's will be a dominating team next year.
I know there is nothing I can say to lessen your hatred of the Cowboys, but you can count of me having a really, really good time next year watching other teams getting trounced by my 'boys!

Yeah, your O-line has been pretty rotten all season. Just ask Bledsoe.

Will Parcells be around for next season? It looks like certain Little T wont be, (who wants him?) Romo started off great but faded badly, he has a lot to prove. I remember back in Sept at the start of the season and everyone ranting and raving about the COwboy D. That came to nothing huh? Thats what I mean about disintegration. Cowboys are stilll in transitional period.

[Bob]

So I turned the TV off last night, with the Colts down 21-3 and generally being dominated. Same old Peyton Manning - electric in the regular season and ineffective in the playoffs. Gutted...

Couldn't bloody believe it when the score appeared on Sky Sports News this morning!! Get in!!!

So I turned the TV off last night, with the Colts down 21-3 and generally being dominated. Same old Peyton Manning - electric in the regular season and ineffective in the playoffs. Gutted...

Couldn't bloody believe it when the score appeared on Sky Sports News this morning!! Get in!!!
:cheers:
It was quite a game. Backwards and forwards, backwards and forwards. It looked like the Colts had blown it in the end. Brady looked like he was about to cry. :D

After they were down 21-3 before half, I thought they were done. I even went so far as to curse the Manning family (i'm a giants fan). Thankfully I kept watching, because that was one of the best games I've ever seen. You see the news conference after? Bill Belichick seems like such a sore loser. Which in his case is understandable, because he doesn't lose very often. After this big win, I think the Colts are gonna walk through the Bears.

No, but I will go and watch it now. Any excuse to hate the Pats more would be welcome.

Luck has been fortunate to both of these teams [Bears and Colts]. I wanted (and predicted during pre-season) these two teams to play the Super Bowl. I think the championship should and will go to the team with the better QB.


Will Parcells be around for next season? It looks like certain Little T wont be, (who wants him?) Romo started off great but faded badly, he has a lot to prove. I remember back in Sept at the start of the season and everyone ranting and raving about the COwboy D. That came to nothing huh? Thats what I mean about disintegration. Cowboys are stilll in transitional period.

With Parcells retirement today, you were right about the transitional period. However, whoever takes over (my coin is on Bob Stubbs of OU), there will be a capable team, TO will most likely stay, as most of the key offensive players. If Greg Ellis can stay healthy the Defense should be in good shape for next year, even better add a speed man in the secondary...
Since Parcells is gone maybe the new Coach will work in the fullback position, something the Cowboys have missed in the last three years.

Do you mean Bob Stoops?

Well, the Saints magical run came to a crashing hault. They lost the game at the line of scrimmage as so often happens. Bottom line is you can't turn the ball over 4 times and expect to win. There's a lot to build on for next year. Go Colts!

[Narcissistic Nihilist]

TO will most likely stay
..only because no one else will take him off you.

If he stays, he will only drag you backwards.

[Nymphadora]

Holy Shit, the Bears are going to the Superbowl!

So, in light of me believing the Bears were going to lose against the Saints and they ended up winning, I'm just gonna go ahead and say that The Bears are going to lose horribly at the Superbowl.

Well I was surprised the Saints lost. After they came back and made it 16-14 I thought Chicago was done. They keep overcoming Grossman's ineptitude.

But I did have Indy beating the spread, so the Hibnosticator is 5-1 vs the spread in the last 2 weeks.

Indy is opening as a 7-point favorite over the Bears. I think the Bears beat that line and the game comes down to the last possession. Just hope Rexy doesn't get inspired.

If he stays, he will only drag you backwards.

You might be right, no telling with the next coach.

poo.

i finally found a group of interested folks to go watch American football with me and the Pats go and lose. i don't know that i'll even bother with the Super Bowl.

[DrHibbert]

I was rooting for the Pats, Kate. Even though only because I had money on them, but still.

This is going to be a borrrring superbowl.

[Intern Kate]

word. :(

sorry 'bout the dough. i don't loathe Manning like a lot of people, i've come to realize, do. i do loathe Vinatieri though.

[DrHibbert]

Why? :O He was so good for the Pats. Because he left?

I don't hate "Manning," but I hate his brother. Because he's basically retarded. Not a fair reason to hate someone, but I hate Pres Bush for the same reason, so...

[Drunkenmaster]

How could anyone hate Peyton Manning?
