i'd just like to repeat a former statement

fuck strahan.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

nothing says football like faith hill singing this kiss

 

[randhail]

but it's perpetual bliss

 

[speedracer]

Just won wagers on both Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne scoring against New Orleans. Whoo.

With that out of the way, Colts suck. Go Pats.

 

[LemonMelon]

What happened to Drew Brees?

I love that one of the Lions players said that he won't accept anything less than 10 wins this season.

I've decided I'm going to learn all about football this year since hockey can kiss my ass (except at playoff time). The shorter season works perfectly for my short attention span, and they almost always play on Sundays so I can't forget when the games are on.

 

[Got Philk?]

Ok April,
Your first lesson will be on how the Detroit Lions will not win 10 games this year.

I thought that was a disclaimer to the course Football 101 - know that the Lions suck all sorts of ass.

If I really get into it, think I'm going to root for them? Haha.

 

[DaveC]

Well I remember a "Go Blue" post in the College Football thread, so you've already got a history of choosing teams that suck...

You = dead to me.

Ouch.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Ouch.

Tell me about it.

 

[phanan]

And you've only been in the thread for a couple of hours. It didn't take long...

 

[zonelistener]

It will seat 82,500 fans per game

an intimate seating bowl

I pulled two comments out of the story, because "intimate" and "82,500" should never go together! ESPECIALLY when you are talking about Jets fans.

Thought I'd throw in my love for my Steelers before we go out and clobber the Brownies....

Hey, I'll go ahead and put out that I think the Lions will win 6-7 games.

I decided to start Roethlisberger on my fantasy team this week because I think he's going to put up big numbers against the Browns. I'll probably start Carson Palmer most weeks, but that seemed like too good of a match-up, especially since the Bengals open against the Ravens.

Greg Lewis has to be blackmailing the Eagles organization. That's the only explanation of him being an NFL player.

 

[tpsreports2424]

uh oh, mcnabb in trouble

[DaveC]

This is some of the worst playcalling I think I've ever seen from Andy Reid.

ETA: The penalties ain't helping, either.

 

[Hewson]

Ellis Hobbs, NFL record 108 yard KO return.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

the pats may just go undefeated this year... there, i said it

 

[No spoken words]

Browns. Wow. They switched QB's in the fist half of the first fucking game of they year.

Can you saw Bill Cowher, your 2008 Browns head coach? Which, as a Steeler fan will break my heart, but it's gonna happen.

 

[Got Philk?]

you beat me to it.


Is that offensive line that good? Or are the Jets just that bad with pass rush?

 

[DaveC]

No.

 

[phillyfan26]

Andy Reid has to be, and I mean HAS to be, the worst coach in football. The team's unprepared (see penalties), the playcalling is atrocious, I don't see his upside.

And my Greg Lewis statement earlier proves itself more as he makes the single dumbest play I've ever seen by a punt returner here in the fourth.

This is bad for my health. And I'm 16. 8:32 to go.

Based on his sons' recent adventures, I don't think he's up for Father of the Year, either

I didn't expect this game to be a close one at all. I'm also surprised to see that Houston beat the Chiefs by a pretty hefty margin. All of the other games so far today are going pretty much as I expected to, though a few of my fantasy players had underwhelming games. Roethlisberger made up for just about all of them, though.

 

[DaveC]

What the FUCK is wrong with our special teams???!?!?

ETA: Pathetic.
