NFL 2009 Season Thread

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I did the same thing with Breaston too. I think my Michigan hate blinds me sometimes.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Really uneasy with this lead. If the Cowboys offense gets their composure they can drive down the field, eat the clock, and get a 1 point lead.

Hope Romo's got one more turnover left in him.</font>

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Wonder if the Giants have a record for most players with the same last name.

Bruce Johnson
Darcy Johnson
Gartrell Johnson
Michael Johnson

Bengals had Chad, Rudi, Jeremi, Landon, and Riall Johnson on the same roster a few years back.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

lol what the fuck Barber

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Ugh fucking Christ I hate this. Gonna be a long week if the Giants don't win this.</font>

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Barber almost looks like he hurt his quad the way he was holding it...

[Triple Naitch]

Fucking in love with Mario Manningham right now.

[Evil Vito]

Bengals had Chad, Rudi, Jeremi, Landon, and Riall Johnson on the same roster a few years back.

<font color=goldenrod>lol holy shit. I've only ever heard of three of those</font> :o

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Pretty sure the whole Ochocinco thing came as a result of there being too many Johnsons in the locker room.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I know what you're thinking. Grow up.

[Innovator]

CMON GMEN

[HeartBreakMan2k]

I know what you're thinking. Grow up.:D

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Giants' O-Line is ridiculous.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

No way did he get that timeout in.

[Innovator]

Wow I thought coaches were done playing the bitch move

[Innovator]

BALLGAME OVER, GIANTS WIN

THEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE GIANTS WIN

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS</font>

[CSL]

BOOM

[Crimson]

FUCK..FUCK THE GIANTS

[Londoner]

Nice one giants!

[McLegend]

Very impressive win there by the Giants.

Eagles special teams and defense not very impressive however.

[Gonzo]

Nice win by the Giants there. Fun to spoil the Cowboys home opener in that fashion. I really am loving the play of Eli and the WR group. I think the defense could use some work.

I hate that timeout bullshit on FG plays too.

There are far too many timeouts in american sports it seems...

[CSL]

Scotland's own Lawrence Tynes

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I've always been on the Collinsworth bandwagon but I really like the duo of him and Michaels for Sunday night.

Hope he's calmed some of his detractors.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>God I had such a bad feeling that Tynes was gonna miss his second try. He's such an enigma really.....missing kicks that look like it'll cost them the game, but then he gets the big ones (see: 2007 NFC Championship Game)</font>

[OssMan]

New York Tynes? I'll give you New York Tynes

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Eli looked so fucking calm driving down in the 4th. Incredible.</font>

[#1-norm-fan]

Figured this was a loss. Anytime there is a team opening up a new stadium or retiring a number or having some kind of celebration, the road team wins. One of those things that just seems to transcend the game. Still fucking hate the Giants. That pass defense looked terrible though. No clue what happened since last season to make them THAT bad. Not really all that heartbroken though for some reason. We're good enough to stay in the thick of things until late in the season when I'm really gonna be worried about how we do.

[Skippord]

it pleases me that the Giants have Gartrell Johnson instead of the Chargers

I love that guy

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Jets vs Ravens vs Saints in the Superbowl

[OssMan]

THIS IS ONLY 1 LOSS, ALL IT DOES IS GUARANTEE THAT THE COWBOYS DO NOT GO 16-0

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Yeah, the funny thing about Gartrell is that he was picked 5 spots after Andre Brown, the RB the Giants got in the 4th round this year...supposedly they were trying to pick between him and Gartrell. Now with Brown out for the year and Danny Ware out for a couple of weeks, they got to replace him.</font> :cool:

[Loose Cannon]

Carson Palmer, welcome to my fantasy team.

Carson Palmer, goodbye from my Fantasy team. thanks for the 8 hours of bench time

come on down Manningham

[Loose Cannon]

Schaub was pretty awesome today. Texans defintely can do some damage this year

[DAMN iNATOR]

Should be fun to see if the Lions drop to 0-20 over their last 20 regular season games (they lost 1 at the end of the 2007 season, all 16 last season, and the first 2 of this season so far). Somehow, against the likes of the Redskins, I'm pretty confident this will happen.

[Skippord]

Yeah, the funny thing about Gartrell is that he was picked 5 spots after Andre Brown, the RB the Giants got in the 4th round this year...supposedly they were trying to pick between him and Gartrell. Now with Brown out for the year and Danny Ware out for a couple of weeks, they got to replace him. :cool:

Rams - Lions Week 8

GETCHA POPCORN READY

[McLegend]

How did Mark Sanchez not start over John David Booty at USC?

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I'm sure there were good reasons. And probably the same reasons why Matt Cassel never started over Matt Leinart.

[McLegend]

Matt Leinart was pretty great though.

[Hanso Amore]

Saints vs Buffalo is going to be a hot fucking game this week

[Boomer]

I think Falcons Pats will be an awesome game too.

[McLegend]

I know it's only been 2 games, but Brett Favre has been tremendous. I really think he's changed, and will probably end up sticking to it the Packers.

[BCWWF]

Bill would let Packers' opponents run red lights (http://www.startribune.com/local/59999267.html?elr=KArksLckD8EQDUoaEyqyP4O:DW3ckUiD3aPc:_Yyc:aUycaEacyU)

The Wisconsin Senate is set to consider a bill that would allow NFL teams to run red lights on their way to Lambeau Field in Green Bay with a police escort.

[Hanso Amore]

Someone robbed Donte Whitners home and ran off with 400k in Bling!

[Fignuts]

Wtf is happening in buffalo? This shit never used to happen.

They fucking won for god's sake, what's the problem?

[Hanso Amore]

Unfortunate timing.

Rams - Lions Week 8

GETCHA POPCORN READY
Fuck yeah. We will be 2-6 then.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Justin Tuck says he's playing next week. Awesome. :cool: Fuck Flozell Adams, that dirty bastard.</font>

[Kris P Lettus]

Saints vs Buffalo is going to be a hot fucking game this week

If by "hot game" you mean "complete f'n steamrolling of the Bills", then yes, I agree..

[SammyG]

I'm seriously gonna start hating the Saints starting next week, and it's all because of Krispy.

Also, RAMS GONNA BEAT THE PACKERS WHO DAT

[SammyG]

Also, Krispy, I think there's a thread in casual that you should prolly check out.

[Kris P Lettus]

STFU you whiney bitch..

No team since 1965 has put up 90+ points in the first two games of the season.. I am excited about my teams ACTUAL chances of going all the way do to our revamped D.. I have made two posts about the game yesterday and you have mentioned me twice since.. Go look at your post in every basketball thread and then get back to me on your high horse, you f'n bitch..

RAAAAAAAAPPPEEEESHOOOOOOOOOOW

[SammyG]

lol @ insults. DO TO YOUR REVAMPED D. Excellent spelling.

[Kris P Lettus]

Are you really bringing up a fucking typo??

You are a sad, sad man..

Prolly why you cried at a party in front of a bunch of females..

[Kris P Lettus]

Also, Mike Bell sprained his MCL and will prolly miss this week.. Just hope the PT Cruiser is ready..

[Kris P Lettus]

LOL

Jets fans are calling their defense "The Rexecutioners"..

[DaveBrawl]

Also, Mike Bell sprained his MCL and will prolly miss this week.. Just hope the PT Cruiser is ready..

He'd better be, I drafted him mid-draft thinking he was gonna be an offensive beast and I've gotten 1 point from him so far this season. :mad:

[Kris P Lettus]

Well, he didn't play week 1 and only came in yesterday when Bell got hurt.. He'll get the main load of carries this sunday..

[DaveBrawl]

Yeah it was my fault for not subbing him in week 1. I knew he was hurt and forgot to take him out (still won though), this week though I thought he was gonna play and like your saying he just came in at the end, and then Welker didn't play at all so I lost a lot of potential points cause I have Meachem at backup for WR and though he didn't do a lot it would of got me the win because I'm 1 point out with 1 guy left to play tonight and my opponent is done.

[DaveBrawl]

The major storyline in the NFL last week was all the talking that the New York Jets did before their game against the New England Patriots. As it turned out, all their smack-talking didn't get them into one bit of trouble, as they were able to back it up and slap around the Patriots on Sunday.

This week, though, we're talking about a whole new kind of talk from the Jets, and it might get them in a whole lot of trouble.

Gary Myers and Rich Cimini of the New York Daily News are reporting that the San Francisco 49ers have filed tampering charges against the Jets. The 49ers are reportedly alleging that the Jets have made contact with Crabtree or his agent, which would be a no-no.

Although the specifics aren't known, it's not hard to connect the dots. Crabtree, the 10th overall pick in the draft, is threatening to sit out the season and reenter the draft in 2010. The 49ers may believe the Jets contacted Crabtree's agent, Eugene Parker, to let him know they'd be interested in trading for his rights, or in drafting him in 2010 with a better salary than the 49ers are offering. The NFL's trade deadline is Oct. 20, while the 49ers must either sign Crabtree by Nov. 19, or surrender his rights, putting him back into the draft pool for 2010.

Now, if they wanted to, the 49ers could have called up the Jets and said, "Hello, would you be interested in trading for the rights to Michael Crabtree(notes)?" The Jets are absolutely not allowed to contact Crabtree on their own, though, without going through the 49ers.

Accusations like this actually aren't new to the Jets. A couple of weeks ago, there was some talk that they may have made improper contact with Denver Broncos receiver Brandon Marshall(notes), though the Broncos never filed a formal complaint against them. The 49ers, according to the Daily News' report, have.

If the league finds any truth in the allegations, the most likely result is a fine, though it would also have the right to take away draft picks.

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdown_corner/post/The-Jets-can-talk-all-they-want-but-not-to-Mich?urn=nfl,190927

[Kris P Lettus]

I figured PT would play more than Bell but I guess they were still resting him.. Thing about Meachum is, just like all our WRs, you never know who's day it's gonna be.. He is second on the depth chart behind Henderson (left side) but with all the different looks our Offense can give, you never know how much he'll be in there or how much he'll be thrown to because Brees spreads the ball out so well..

[DaveBrawl]

Yeah only reason I picked up Meachem was he had so many return yards last week and a pretty good receiving game, I figured even if he just got the returns he would make a great bye week guy. Unfortunately he didn't get that this week. :lol:

[Kris P Lettus]

Well, it was Colstons week.. Week one was Shockeys..

[Kris P Lettus]

Falcons defensive tackle Peria Jerry, the team’s first-round draft pick from Mississippi, will be placed on injured reserve after suffering a season-ending right knee injury in Atlanta’s victory over Carolina (http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/2009092000/2009/REG2/panthers@falcons/watch).
Jerry’s injury is more bone-related and not a torn ACL. He should be ready to go by next summer.
Thomas Johnson will move into the starting role, coach Mike Smith said.



Damn, even though I hate the Falcons, I love Jerry cause he played at Ole Miss..

[Nervous Ferret]

lol @ Rexecutioners. Pretty impressive not allowing an offensive TD to either the Texans or Pats in back to back games. Darrelle Revis has completely shut down Andre Johnson and Randy Moss back to back.

And a special fuck you to every single analyst on ESPN who lambasted/compared Kerry Rhodes to Anthony Smith from a few years ago when he tried to 'talk shit' to Brady or whatever. Kerry Rhodes is a pro bowl stud, and the whole "this is only going to make Tom Brady so angry he is going to throw 8 TD passes because he is the best thing ever" arguement was so fucking infuriating etc.

You could go as far as to say that I am glad that the Jets won yesterday. Hate the stupid patriots

[Kris P Lettus]

I am kinda worried about y'all d come week four.. I just hope we can outscore y'all and our D holds tight..

[Hanso Amore]

If by "hot game" you mean "complete f'n steamrolling of the Bills", then yes, I agree..

The Saints porous D is going to get Shredded by Fred Jackson. No way does the 40+ plus point offense keep rolling. Saints are coming back to earth in Buffalo this weekend.

[Boomer]

The Saints "revamped D" has still given up a lot of points, Krispy.

And I like how Darren Sharper just had to return that INT for a touchdown with less than a minute left in the game with his team up 19. I feel like it must have been a direct order from Sean Payton to play like they're in the BCS.

[Kris P Lettus]

Not really.. Week one against the Lions, an 87 yard kickoff return, 48 yard punt return, Mike Bell fumble for a TD, and Reggie Bush's, fumble at the Saints 13, caused all the points.. The only busted play yesterday was that one huge pass to Jackson where Roman Harper bit down on the inside slot route, so Darren Sharper thought he had help over the top, and he didn't..

Why wouldn't he go for the TD in that situation though??

Maybe watch some highlights or the actual game before talking shit about our D..

[Boomer]

Like points off fumbles and special teams don't count as points and defense?

[Boomer]

And I watched the entire Saints game this week, so I think I have an idea of what happened.

[Kris P Lettus]

Like points off fumbles and special teams don't count as points and defense?

Short field position has nothing to do with defense.. We held Brian Westbrook to 52 yards yesterday, and had three takeaways.. We are +3 in the turnover game this season..

[Boomer]

And yet you still gave up almost 400 yards in passing offense to a guy whose never started an NFL game. I don't care if that's skewed because the Eagles had to abandon the run just to keep up late in the game...that's a lot of yards regardless.

[Kris P Lettus]

80% of it was dump off 12 yard gains while the DB's were playing prevent..

[Boomer]

Which is awesome defensive play-calling, really.

[Kris P Lettus]

Considering the only points they scored in the forth quarter was an intentional safety after an awesome goalline stance by our D, yes, it was good play calling..

[Boomer]

Not that this is huge news to most people, but Falcons 1st round pick DT Peria Jerry is out for the season with a knee injury. He had been playing well too. Falcons are already looking hard for a replacement, though it will probably be hard to find one.

[ClockShot]

Soooooooooo. Herschel Walker is gonna do MMA.

Just read that Chris Johnson's performance on Sunday was the 4th biggest in the fantasy league era.

top 3:
Clinton Portis 2003- 254 yds, 5 TDs
Shaun Alexander 2002- 231 yds, 5 TDs
Jerry Rice 1995- 299 yds, 3 TDs

[SammyG]

So what? You still gave up the yards. Fuck, your arguments are so stupid.

That's like me saying the Rams allowed a shitload of rushing yards, but coming up with the excuse that we were in a dime and they drew up a draw play. like wtf?

Point is, our D shut them down we we need too.. They were giving up the little short yard bullshit b/c the game was in hand..

[Kris P Lettus]

Also, if it's late in the game (say 4th quarter) and y'all gave up 120 yards rushing but no TD's b/c you were up by 21, I'd say that is very good game planning and help y'all win the game..

I want to like the Dolphins, but I can't root for any team with Joey Porter on it.

GO COLTS

[Kris P Lettus]

Why are the MNF guys acting like the Dolphins created the Wild Cat??

Houston Nutt created that shit when he was coaching at Arkansas years ago..

[Skippord]

because the Dolphins were the first to use it in the NFL?

[Kris P Lettus]

Yeah, but they are making it out like Sparano "created" it.. Nutt created it when he had McFadden and Felix Jones..

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Because ESPN has shitty fact finders. They still say the Bills created the No Huddle and the Niners created the West Coast Offense. The Bengals did both.

[Boomer]

But nobody Stumps the Schwab?!

[Reavant]

I am kinda worried about y'all d come week four.. I just hope we can outscore y'all and our D holds tight..

Lets see how well your D holds up against a high powered no huddle offense this week

lol @ the play action by Miami near midfield with 25 seconds left and no time outs. I'm sure that got 'em.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Why are the MNF guys acting like the Dolphins created the Wild Cat??

Houston Nutt created that shit when he was coaching at Arkansas years ago..
It's the single wing offense, it's been around for years - Houston Nutt didn't create it.

He just had the idea to take it retro and put a RB at the QB spot. Way back in the day every team did this all the time before the downfield passing game was really put into motion.

I think it's so stupid that it's called the Wild Cat, but whatever. It's definitely around to stay though.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Dolphins still should have won that game even with that horrible 2 minute drill, Ginn dropped that TD pass. I mean it was tough catch but you make millions of dollars to run fast and catch a football.

[RP]

My favorite part was with 4 minutes to go and like 3rd and 7, the Dolphins run the ball for a 2 yard gain and settle for the field goal, INSTEAD of trying for the first down with a pass or even a wildcat and even if they failed the pass, it was still pretty much the same distance on the FG. They basically just handed Peyton Manning the ball with 3:51 seconds to go, only needing a FG to tie or a TD.

That was just horrible coaching.

[ClockShot]

Plaxico Burress gets 2 years in the slammer.

Eagles averaged 6.4 yds per rush out of the Wildcat this weekend too.

Other than Miami I meant..

I remember week 1 Jacksonville tried to win the game on a 4th down play and used the wildcat and got nothing..but I guess it is Jacksonville.

[Kris P Lettus]

[Kris P Lettus]

They actually played well, and Southern had to catch up in the second half.. Their WR #18 has awesome hands..

[DaveBrawl]

Yeah I can't get over how awful they played in their first game. They got their doors blown off by William & Mary a Division 2, or whatever they call it now, school. 7 turnovers. It was a spectacle in self destruction. They have gotten better the last 2 games but that first game was just so bad.

David Lee is the QB coach for the Dolphins. He was the Offensive Coordinator for U of Arkansas in 2007 where he ran the Wildcat offense.

[Droford]

No one else really features it in their offense. Cock Boy

I think every team in the NFL has tried it. Hell, the Ravens went with what was called the "Suggs Package" last year and lined up Troy Smith at QB and Joe Flacco at WR.

http://imgs.sfgate.com/c/pictures/2008/10/26/ba-raiders_raven_0499359055.jpg
He made the catch, and if he hadn't tripped over his own feet at like the 10 yard line, he would have had a touchdown reception, which would have made him the first player in NFL History to throw for a TD, run for a TD ( a brilliant 40 yard scamper) and catch a TD in the same game.

Im surprised the Ravens don't run it more often with Troy Smith basically rotting away on the bench and Flacco being 6 foot 5... But Flacco is the man!

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I'm assuming you didn't look that stat up because he'd actually be the 8th player to do that. Tomlinson last did it in 2005.

[Droford]

I'm assuming you didn't look that stat up because he'd actually be the 8th player to do that. Tomlinson last did it in 2005.

Maybe first QB to do so then..I know the commentators were saying he would have been the first to do it. Thats probably it, I mean how often do QB's catch TD passes?

[Kris P Lettus]

Deuce threw a few TD passes when he first got drafted.. He used to do it alot at Ole Miss..

[Hanso Amore]

Using it once, and featuring it are two different things.

The Bills run a few wildcat plays a year. Doesnt mean they feature it.

They do feature a No Huddle offense.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Yeah first QB to do it.

[SammyG]

ARE YOU SURE IT'S NOT DREW BREES WHO DAT..

[RP]

I dont know where i said, but i told everyone here Dallas Clark would be a superstar. Look at him now.This guy has a legitament chance at leading the league in receiving yards and possibly catches. And maybe even TD's. I know its only been 2 weeks, but still, this guy is amazing. He's gunna be one of the greatest of all time. He leads the league in receiving yards as of today.

I love Dallas Clark so much.

[Triple Naitch]

DALLAS CLARK WHO DAT

[RP]

Everyone at ESPN has labeled him the " Hybrid " which i guess is kinda true. But I think most teams just dont play there TE's like the Colts do. Clark cant be single covered by a LB, DB or Saftey. Thats a major matchup advantage.

I love this guy so much. The only thing i ever worry about is the hits he takes. He's about 2 concussions from ending his career.

[Droford]

I started Todd Heap over Clark in my fantasy league, I would have been pissed if I had lost.

Todd Heap used to be awesome, but he's been fighting injuries the last two years. If he stays healthy he could have a huge year as one of Flacco's favorite targets.

Also in Ravens news, 2 weeks before they face the Patriots, they traded Prescott Burgess to NE for a draft pick. He was playing primarily special teams so I guess it was a good move but they could have waited til after they play NE.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Maybe first QB to do so then..I know the commentators were saying he would have been the first to do it. Thats probably it, I mean how often do QB's catch TD passes?
I remember when Matt Leinart caught a TD pass in the Rose Bowl, that was pretty bad ass.

I also remember when David Patten scored 3 TDs 3 different ways against the Colts in one of Tom Brady's first starts. He might have had a kick return not and not a run, he definitely threw one though.

[RP]

Dallas Clark had the 4th best game for a TE since 1970.

lol Ken O'Brian. yea, definately one of the worst picks in any draft.

[FearedSanctity]

The Denver Broncos offense and Kyle Orton have been much-maligned through two weeks of the season, but some interesting stats suggest things aren’t quite so bad. Consider:

* Orton is the only quarterback in the NFL with at least 50 attempts and no interceptions.
* In fact, the Broncos offense is the only unit in the league yet to commit a turnover.
* Thinking Orton is the master of the dink-and-dunk? Think again. Orton ranks second in the NFL in 25+ yard completions (ahead of scoreboard blazer Drew Brees and division rival Philip Rivers).
* As we pointed out in the DL, Orton’s Week 2 performance puts him 6th in DYAR, a better measurement of the value of each throw based on down and distance.
* Broncos offense ranks 8th in the league in yards. If Matt Prater doesn’t miss two windy field goals Sunday, the scoring offense ranks 11th.

Are things perfect? Of course not — scoring 19 points in seven quarters of football certainly indicates there are problems. But the offense doesn’t quite reflect the gloomy picture some fans are painting.Of course all that is without Marshall and Royal really getting into things yet. And the running game has been somewhat slow in getting going. Just wish the O had a little more time to catch up with the D before we head into the part of the schedule that may kill our season after week 4 :(

[Skippord]

I really really like the way McDaniels calls games

and Alphonso Smith has been very good so far

King's Island turns McNair murder into Halloween display
Posted by Mike Florio on September 24, 2009 8:54 AM ET
We realize that the Halloween season entails routine exposure to gruesome and disturbing images. But even when dabbling in exploded eyeballs and spilled intestines, it's implied that good taste will still be exercised.

King's Island in Cincinnati didn't get the memo.

The amusement park's Halloween Haunt initially included the scene of the Steve McNair murder.

Seriously.

But the Halloween Haunt display doesn't open until Friday. And, according to Clay Travis of FanHouse, the McNair murder scene won't be part of it, thanks to the uproar that arose after video of the display emerged via a sneak peek of the Halloween Haunt experience emerged via WLVT in Cincinnati.

"There will not be a scene at our Halloween event that features Steve McNair or anyone that resembles him," said Kings Island spokesperson Don Helbig.

Meanwhile, teenagers throughout the country now have been given a new idea for trick-or-treating costumes.



LOL King's Island

[Jeritron]

lol wtf

did the video or a pic of the exhibit get online?

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Yeah people were really pissed off about it around here. Pretty funny though if you ask me.

it is lol

I think the hole in the helmet is what does it for me. So ridiculous

[SammyG]

Wowwwwwwwwwwwww

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Kenny Phillips out for the season. Fucking hell.</font>

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>In an interesting note though, the Giants now have Aaron Ross and Aaron Rouse in their secondary.</font>

[Jeritron]

What shocks me is that the entire park seems to be populated with exhibits like that, and they're only closing the McNair one.
The article makes mention of a dead Heath Ledger surrounded by pill bottles, and other gags involving Farah Fawcett, Billy Mays, Ed McMahon and Michael Jackson.

The whole concept of their attractions is so ridiculously oppurtunist and offensive, that a reasonable person can't help but laugh about the whole situation.

:wtf: at them saying they are doing it in good taste and not to be offending but whole idea is both weird and laughable. Weird in how that idea isn't in good taste and laughable since its soo dumb but works because its Halloween.

[Innovator]

Losing Phillips is gonna be huge I think. He was set for a Pro Bowl year already after 2 games

[Hanso Amore]

Your going to be humbled on Sunday Kris P.

Back Story on this: Every week some guy makes the "Bills Rap" about that weeks opponent. The Saints D Coordinator was the Bills old Coach, and they have a few old bills players like Greer and Prioleau. I love these things.

I can't see New Orleans blowing out Buffalo like they did Philly. In fact, I think it should be a good game. I'm holding off on anointing the Saints. If they do beat Buffalo handily though I will accept them as a Super Bowl favorite.

[Reavant]

word.... this game is going to be a huge shootout... which means it will be close... which means buffalo will lose in the last two minutes because they choke the close ones :-\

Browns rookie throws ice, punch
<hr size="1" width="100%" noshade="noshade"> Associated Press

<!-- template inline -->BEREA, Ohio -- Cleveland rookie cornerback Coye Francies (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=12656), incensed over a prank, threw a bucket of ice and at least one errant punch during a skirmish in the Browns' locker room. <!-- INLINE HEADSHOT (BEGIN) --> http://a.espncdn.com/i/headshots/nfl/players/65/12656.jpg Francies

<!-- INLINE HEADSHOT (END) --> As the team returned from practice Friday, a soaking-wet Francies, apparently the target of some hazing, stormed into the locker room carrying a water bucket full of ice. Before he could be stopped, Francies tossed the ice on cornerback Brandon McDonald (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=10583), hitting him with cubes and covering the floor. Francies flung some ice in the direction of safety Mike Adams (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=5893) before heading toward safety Abram Elam (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=10174)'s corner cubicle. Francies then swung at Elam before Pro Bowl nose tackle Shaun Rogers (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=2609) grabbed him by the back of the shirt and escorted him out a side door.

If you want to Crown 'em, Crown em!

Fuck the Saints. Same team as least year that wasn't shit.

Even if they hang 60 on the bills, who cares...Beating the Bills is like dunking on a retard.

But losing to the bills...Is like getting dunked on BY a retard

So Vick gets to debut against the Chiefs which means he'll probably do really well and the ESPN hype train will go bananas.

ESPN is TMZ for sports. What's even worse is so many unknowledgeable sports fans live and die by who and what they hock

Must be from the Bucs v Raiders SuperBowl if the mic is actually part of that picture and not photoshopped like rest of picture is.

lol "and he's not runnin' over women in his car".

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Giants are banged the fuck up this week. Chris Canty, Aaron Ross, Clint Sintim, Hakeem Nicks, Danny Ware, and Adam Koets are already out with injuries. And then add to that Justin Tuck, Domenik Hixon, and Kevin Dockery all being listed as "questionable" but none of them are expected to play.

That's right, only 8 inactive spots but 9 injured players. Playing with only 44 guys today unless one of the questionable guys gets in a couple of plays.</font>

[Loose Cannon]

meh, they are playing the Bucks and still have Smith and Manningham. They'll be good

[Loose Cannon]

I wish some would tell me if Deshawn Jackson is playing

[Droford]

1st Parlay for $550

Texans - 4.5 vs Jaguars
Steelers - 4.5 @ Bengals
Packers - 6.5 @ Rams
Saints - 6.5 @ Bills

Easy Money

2nd Parlay for $330

Titans + 2.5 @ Jets
Colts + 2.5 @ Cardinals
Falcons + 4.5 @ Patriots
49ers + 7.5 @ Vikings

the Road Dog Special (I probably wont win it though..but its worth a shot) I do like it more hearing that the Patriots could be without Welker, Moss and Edelman...football Jesus can't throw to himself (or can he?).

[Droford]

I wish some would tell me if Deshawn Jackson is playing
What I heard a few minutes ago was that he is listed as Questionable but practiced on friday so should play.

[Loose Cannon]

I don't understand the whole betting thing. so you put down $550 or you have a chance to win that?

[Droford]

I don't understand the whole betting thing. so you put down $550 or you have a chance to win that?

$50 at 11:1 odds on 4 teams. I get back the $50 plus $500 more if all 4 teams win.

I saw people putting up a whole lot more..but I cant do it. I rolled a portion of my winnings from 2 weeks over to this week as it was.

[Loose Cannon]

wow, that's not bad. I need to get in on some of this action. do you use a particular website? Or anyone else have websites they want to recomend?

[Evil Vito]

meh, they are playing the Bucks and still have Smith and Manningham. They'll be good

<font color=goldenrod>I think so too. It's just that I'm going to be sitting on the edge of my seat hoping nobody else goes down. Last thing I need is to have the '09 NY Giants end up like the '09 Mets.</font>

[Droford]

wow, that's not bad. I need to get in on some of this action. do you use a particular website? Or anyone else have websites they want to recomend?

I go to a "casino" in Delaware where 3+ team parlays are legal. I live 40 minutes from the "casino" so its not too bad. They were supposed to have single games, -/+, total points bets on NFL and other sports as well but the courts shut them down for now.

Ive done it on websites before but the legality issue always bugged me, not to mention how hard it was to actually get money that you won, especially if you use any bonuses or crap like that. Nothing says ripoff like winning $500 and then being told "You have to bet $1,000 more in order to cash out because you used our bonus money.."

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>GIANTS WEEK 3 INACTIVES
DT Chris Canty
CB Kevin Dockery
WR Domenik Hixon
OL Adam Koets
WR Hakeem Nicks
CB Aaron Ross
LB Clint Sintim
RB Danny Ware

Glad to see Tuck was the one to avoid the inactive list...though I'm not expecting him to see too much time on the field. Just get out of this game healthy, any more injuries and they'll have to start cutting some of the servicable injured guys just to get more healthy bodies on the roster.

Giants need to hope for either their running game to finally establish itself properly, or another big game from Smith and Manningham (though both happening wouldn't hurt!) Defensively, I'm keeping an eye on the run defense that got eaten alive by the Cowboys' 3 RBs last week. If they can stop the Bucs' triumvirate I think they'll be in good shape, as I feel the Bucs don't have the receiving weapons to make a huge difference.

LET'S GO GIANTS!!!</font>

[OssMan]

Someone link me to one of those sites where you can watch a stream of any game

try myp2pforum.eu, assman, find the streams there.

Also Rams over green bay today. book it.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Big Vito 22 is Mr. Doom and Gloom about injuries for the NFL too? God damn it haha

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Eh wouldn't really call it doom and gloom. It's concerning that they are an injury away from having to go with a shorthanded roster, but thankfully the Giants have the depth to get around it.

If they lose their top 5 players like the Mets did this year, THEN I'll go into doom and gloom mode.</font> :o

[Droford]

Someone should tell Gus Johnson he needs new glasses, those things are ridiculous!

and he called Flacco "Tall, dark and handsome.." hmm

[OssMan]

Dunno how that link works SammyG. Need something else

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Channelsurfing.net

Dunno how that link works SammyG. Need something else

Any of the 'Mediaplayer' and most of the 'Other' links work without needing to install anything

[Droford]

The Lions scored first vs the Redskins..Stafford with a 99 yard drive.

BAHAHA

[FearedSanctity]

Sanchez is ridiculous

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Fred Taylor with a rushing TD for the Patriots. Hopefully they continue to run the ball here to up some shit up.

[Droford]

fuck kyle boller if he does anything for the Rams with Bulger out...

[OssMan]

Stafford had some crazy 20 yard scramble

[Droford]

Its gonna be a fun week around here if the Redskins lose to the Lions...

Lions are in the Red Zone again.

[CSL]

Obv. statement of the week: Fuck me DeSean Jackson is fast

[Droford]

fucking kyle boller

[Droford]

McGahee has 2 TDs for the 2nd straight week, Ravens up 20-0...

GOT HIM IN NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE FANTASY FOOTBALL!

wtf @ new york tynes

[Droford]

well so far my road dogs are covering 2 of 3, with Tennessee being the straggler down only 7.

my "easy money" isnt so easy with Houston getting beat but its early and the Texans have a drive going.

Dan Snyder is in a corner crying somewhere with Haynesworth being hurt and losing 10-0 to the lions.

49ers scored a TD on a blocked FG!

Derek Anderson throws an int!

Its very hard to believe Ray Rice just got his first CAREER TD after how well he played last year. I could have sworn he had one last year.

[Londoner]

this tennesee/jets game is great!

[Londoner]

touchdown jets! they lead 21-17

[Boomer]

The Pats going for it on 4th and inches on their own 25 is ballsy. They are doing a good job keeping the Falcons offense off the field.

[Droford]

I hate houston.

[DaveWadding]

LOL MoJo Drew smokes the Texans.

[Emperor Smeat]

LOL wow Redskins messed up the whole lateral play since 3rd guy decides to rush forward with a couple of Lions players in front of him instead of tossing the ball to a team mate.

[McLegend]

Brett Favre is so good.

Brett Favre

Brian Dawkins is the fuckin' man

lol, Hochuli. "Pass interdefense....pass interference. Defense."

[redoneja]

I bet Supreme is on the edge of his seat right now.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

If by that you mean running around whooping then yeah probably

[redoneja]

Ya, especially now that's it's official. Wow. What a fucking drive by Cincinnati. Two 4th down conversions and a 2 Point Conversion. I found it hard not to pull for them right there.

[Droford]

Pittsburgh has SD next week, they could easily fall to 1-3. Cincy has Cleveland next week so they'll likely be 3-1 going into week 5 vs the Ravens.

Ravens and Patriots is HUGE next week, not that anyone didnt expect it to be.

[RP]

lol i just saw that Farve play. Unreal. Perfect throw, perfect catch. Ball game.

[Skippord]

Brian Dawkins is the fuckin' man

[Skippord]

also KNOWSHAWNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

[SammyG]

lol Rams

[McLegend]

Fuck the Broncos.

[SammyG]

I wonder if Bulger is out for next week. Regardless, Rams need to draft Bradford/McCoy/ Tebow next year.

[McLegend]

I have completely flipped flopped on Brett Favre...

I love him, and I think he's great.

God Bless Brett Favre

[Skippord]

Fuck the Broncos.
for what, big guy?

[FearedSanctity]

My guess would be having Dawkins?

[CSL]

I wonder if Bulger is out for next week. Regardless, Rams need to draft Bradford/McCoy/ Tebow next year.

Dunno about Tebow.

[Skippord]

that would make sense

yeah lol why would you say Tebow over Jevan Snead?

[Droford]

I wonder if Bulger is out for next week. Regardless, Rams need to draft Bradford/McCoy/ Tebow next year.

But they have Kyle "Super" Boller!

[SammyG]

I actually hoped Bulger would not return and Boller would finish the game... :(

2 TD passes by Boller.. just sayin'

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Can't believe the Bengals won. Still fucking SWEET though

[Splaya]

I LOVE YOU MATTHEW STAFFORD
