[Headache in a Suitcase]

Opening kickoff at 7 PM Eastern tonight. Skins at Jersey/A.

ya know, the washington redskins play in landover, maryland, which is geographicly further away from The Mall than Giants Stadium is from Times Square.

but yes, let's ignore that giants stadium is a mere 7 miles from new york, the city that the team is named after, and let's make sure we all know they're from jersey. while we're at it, may i introduce to you the Opa Locka Dolphins, the Orchard Park Bills, and the Irving Cowboys. oh, and the Landover Redskins.

Who left a turd next to your breakfast sausage this morning?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

that whole thing irks me... sort of like my dislike for people who spell "superbowl"

it's nothing personal.. it just gets my panties all in a bunch.

 

[phanan]

Kind of like when people spell albeit "all be it".

 

[phillyfan26]

Don't forget the Glendale Cardinals. I mean they took the whole fucking state name. What the fuck is that shit about?

 

[DaveC]

per say?

 

[DaveC]

Name the quarterback who, if he passes for at least 3,000 yards this season (he threw for more than 4,000 last year) will move ahead of such QBs as Joe Namath, Ken Stabler and Terry Bradshaw. And, if he can scrape together another season or two of comparable numbers, likely will end his career as one of the top 20 passers in league history.

Kyle Orton?


Oh, you said 4,000 yards. I thought you said 4,000 shots. Nevermind.

 

[phanan]

There's probably a couple who fall into that category.

But you're obviously looking at someone we'd never think of.

Perhaps Kitna.

 

[DaveC]

Jon Kitna.

I just blew your mind.

 

[phanan]

I see I was on the right track.

Brady would have been too obvious.

You are going to have a lot more strange stats like this as the length of the seasons continue to increase.

Continue to increase? There's talk about increasing it to 18 games, but the schedule has been the same since 1981, I believe.

1984, actually. Bradshaw, Stabler and Namath played in 14 game seasons.

1978 is when the NFL went to the current 16 game schedule.

The USFL had an 18 game schedule though.

Today is the day. It is here. It has begun.

[phillyfan26]

Crabcakes and football: THAT is what Maryland does.

 

[No spoken words]

the National Football League

Didn't it begin on Thursday night?

 

[phillyfan26]

Didn't it begin on Thursday night?

But the Chicago Bears and the Chicago White Sox are the only two sports teams that mean anything.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Didn't it begin on Thursday night?

For me, life began just last night. It's all clear to me now, NSW. These things will change. These walls that they put up to hold us back will fall down.

 

[Screwtape2]

The Pats are the luckiest team in the world to be playing the Chiefs when they lose Tom Brady.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Tom Brady is dead.

 

[phanan]

Now it's my turn to say...

FUCK

 

[phillyfan26]

The Rams secondary is God-awful.

 

[No spoken words]

I'm pleased.

Found a good Steeler bar here in Chicago....this is the first year in over a decade that I don't have DirecTV/NFL Sunday Ticket....so, this bar is less than a mile from my place.....

The game was one of those combos where the Steelers looked good but the Texans looked like shit, so you're not sure what to really think. Still, nice to have a beat-down win to open the season.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

NSW did you know that sometimes I randomly walk into Steelers bars and beat the living shit out of all the patrons?
