Hoping the Brown get rid of Manziel and Gordon this off-season. Hell, take Shanahan with them too.
ReplyDeleteI've got Dallas/Washington & KC/SD. Think I'm gonna stick with the KC game.
ReplyDeleteOnly the Browns could get two 1st round picks three times, use each 1st round pick to select a quarterback, then flub it. I'll never understand what they were thinking with Weeden.
ReplyDeleteThey can probably get a few good draft picks for Gordon. I see Manziel being out of football before his 25th birthday.
ReplyDeleteThey should just keep Connor Shaw.
ReplyDeleteThey are saying Gordon isn't going to get anything but a 5th or worse round pick.
ReplyDeleteYou don't give up on Manziel after 1 season and 1.5 bad games
ReplyDeleteGot the same games with AZ/SF as the late game on FOX. No America's Game of the Week for me.
ReplyDeleteYou do with his immaturity. The kid will never learn.
ReplyDeleteNo, you don't. That's incredibly shortsighted
ReplyDeleteI guess you have to take his off the field shenanigans into consideration.
ReplyDeleteThe guy has been late for plenty of meetings this year, parties when he should have his face in the playbook, and is undersized. Not to mention ignoring the Browns' phone calls this week when he was late to treatment.
ReplyDeleteUltimate Destined For Backup QB Names? I got Spurgeon Wynn, Dan Orlovsky, Cade McKnown, Billy Volek, Cleo Lemon
ReplyDeleteMy late games are SF/AZ and Denver/ Oakland. I'd rather watch Detroit/GB
ReplyDeleteYou deal with that in the offseason. You burned a 1st round pick on him and unless you're getting something good back, there's no reason to just cut him
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed at them being such a mess after starting 6-3.
ReplyDeleteI don't see superstar in Manziel. Sorry. I'd rather see the Browns cut their losses now then waste even more time.
ReplyDeleteThat would be a disaster. Cutting him after one season when he was a first round pick and played 1.5 games? I mean...wow.
ReplyDeleteTrade, not cut. I was just using a phrase.
ReplyDeleteMore important than any of these ganes is me gunning for my third straight BOD fantasy football championship, even without Gronky Baby. YOU WANT SOME, COME GET SOME!
ReplyDeleteWhat are you going to get for him?
ReplyDeleteI got CAR/ATL as the CBS late game; thought there would be infomercials. I'm with you with DET/GB. I have to get Direct TV so this won't be a factor next season.
ReplyDeleteMore important than any of these games is me gunning for my third straight BOD fantasy football championship, even without Gronky Baby. YOU WANT SOME, COME GET SOME!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure some team that needs a QB would trade some picks for him.
ReplyDeleteOn this day in 1997, Sting defeated Hollywood Hogan to win the world title at Starrcad.
ReplyDeleteWhy not hang onto him and see what you got. He played like a rookie in 1.5 games on a team that was a sinking ship. Big shocker.
ReplyDeleteThen do you let him compete for the starting job? What happens if he makes zero improvements in the offseason and is the backup or third stringer next season?
ReplyDeleteI'm watching the Dolphins out of a sense of obligation until it gets really awful, at which point I'll switch either to the AFC west game or Redzone.
ReplyDeleteWell that, and throwing a party that got a bunch of teammates just days after saying he'd take his job more seriously. TGDGI
ReplyDeleteBilly Joe Tolliver.
ReplyDeleteYes, you let him compete for the starting job.
ReplyDeletePeter Tom Willis.
ReplyDeleteThe initial shot in the armor of WCW. They were lucky things were so hot for them that they were able to survive that debacle.
ReplyDeleteI saw this commercial about domestic abuse where people were just silent.
ReplyDeleteI HATE. I REPEAT, I HATE THESE FUCKING THINGS. I HATE ALL COMMERCIALS THAT ARE 'END DOMESTIC ABUSE', 'END RAPE', 'END ANIMAL ABUSE', BECAUSE THEY'RE FUCKING BULLSHIT.
Do you think a person who beats their child, dog, or wife is gonna see a lame, bullshit commercial or poster where they see people acting like their actions are bad, and go "Oh man, I was gonna go home and beat my kid until he couldn't walk, but not anymore!".
All this bullshit about "teach men not to rape". It's just that, BULLSHIT.
You wanna know how to get these pieces of shit to stop? Do you wanna know? There's one very simple word: PAIN. No, I'm sorry, three simple words. SERIOUS. FUCKING. PAIN.
You wanna be a big man, and beat your wife? Well, guess what, your punishment is now you're beaten within an inch of your life.
You're a super tough, rockin' guy, and want to slug your child? Or kick a dog? Then guess what, all of your limbs get broken.
There's no jail time. There is only pain. There is only punishment.
Then, THEN will they learn. Then will they think about the cause & effect of their actions. When it's raining, and their hip hurts because it was shattered for abusing a family member, or raping someone, they'll think. They'll know. They'll be AFRAID.
AFRAID. Fear is how you keep people like this inline. FEAR.
And I can guarantee this, and it's one of the reasons I like to lift and study fighting, if anyone so much as thinks about hurting someone I know, I will teach them until it's attempted murder. And I will teach. And I will teach. So then I can gain an air about me that when these sort of guys see me, or hear about me, never even give a simple thought to stepping out of line, because there will be no commercial for them. There will be no commercial. No commercial.
Oh, Caliber
ReplyDeleteBeen there, done that. FEAR won't make the commercials stop. Good Luck.
ReplyDeleteMy one o' clock game selections:
ReplyDeleteMeaningless Pats vs. Bills, nearly meaningless Cowboys/Deadskins and Gayvens/Clowns
What a lousy slate.
Billy Joe Hobart...I'm pretty sure the Falcons employed both Billy Joe's at the same time.
ReplyDeleteAll I want today is for Jay Cutler to complete 8 passes to Matt Forte. He deserves a record.
ReplyDeleteMy meaningless vikings vs bears and chargers Chiefs
ReplyDeleteHe's going to shoot up a school eventually isn't he.
ReplyDeleteChargers Chiefs isn't meaningless. Playoff hopes at play.
ReplyDeleteI got ya I just meant vikings Bears
ReplyDeleteTrade him to New England. Brady & Belichick would straighten him out.
ReplyDeleteI really don't want to watch this Browns game.
ReplyDeleteOh okay. Bears game might not be meaningless either. Bye bye Cutler!
ReplyDeleteYou can always turn it to Bills/Pats or Dallas/Washington...Ugh
ReplyDeleteAnd the Vikings have been playing well.....so moral victories!
ReplyDeleteHoly hell, what a psycho.
ReplyDeleteI'd be fine with a 38-35-ish Giants loss today, be worth up to an extra 5 spots in the draft and hopefully kick Fewell the fuck out the door
ReplyDeleteWow what a play by Dez.
ReplyDeleteDez Bryant is amazazing.
ReplyDeleteEh, I was on board until the "that's why I'm such a tough guy" shtick at the end
ReplyDeleteThe juke was nice, but HOLY SHIT when he turned on the jets to score.
ReplyDeleteJJ Watt is also amazazing.
ReplyDeletethat burst of speed was insane. Scorched.
ReplyDeleteWin and we're in; GOH CHAJAS GOH
ReplyDeleteDammit, I have Romo and my opponent has Bryant so we're going to cancel a lot of our productivity out
ReplyDeleteI threw a few shekels on them today, they better not let me down.
ReplyDeleteI thought fantasy football ended week 16.
ReplyDeleteRavens looking flat as hell the last couple of weeks.
ReplyDeleteBest part of Sanchez on Eagles? Takes away the "What if the Jets could coach offense?" from his resume....he just sucks
ReplyDeleteI'll go on record as agreeing that I hate the SPCA tortured animals commercials. Those are just a total bummer and they usually play them on shit like Comedy Central a lot which is weird.
ReplyDelete"I couldn't say for certain why I was tested and failed when other guys blatantly got away with smoking pot and using pills, but put it this way; if you were "in" and a top guy, it wouldn't help anyone for them to suspend you. I did see some crazy things as guys tried to avoid the tests. Kid used to come to the back and pretend to pass out, making out like he was hurt so they couldn't test him. I remember Sid once had a squirt bottle filled with someone else's piss, but he got caught. Someone, and I can't remember who it was, even tried using a fake dick!"
ReplyDeleteDeMarco Murray has the single-season rushing record for the Cowboys.
ReplyDeleteThe WHIZZINATOR!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd another Dez Bryant touchdown. Cowboys on fiyah!
ReplyDeleteWhy the fuck is Orton even playing in this game.
ReplyDeleteWhy is Brady. Why is any of this happening.
ReplyDeleteDoes Belicheat ever sit his players?
ReplyDeletePlayoff implications be damned sorry KC/SD I'm switching to Dallas game. Way more exciting.
ReplyDeleteWatching some Nat Geo. Wasn't interested in football. Switch over to the Skins game. Bryant, TD. Switch back to Nat Geo. Switch back to football, Bryant TD.
ReplyDelete...
And with that, Dez has the single-season touchdown record.
ReplyDeleteYeah, why is Brady? Or Gronk, who's practically made of glass.
ReplyDeleteThey are going to have to pay him
ReplyDeleteOverloaded leagues go to 17. They are usually terrible. I've been in a few. So terrible.
ReplyDeleteNo, not really.
ReplyDeleteTeams with a bye, usually play their guys week 17 because two weeks off is a bit much.
ReplyDeleteI believe they will. Not too worried about it.
ReplyDeleteThe polls for the groups C-F brackets for the 2nd Round of PTBN's "Greatest Song of the 90's" Tournament have been posted above
ReplyDeleteGronk is inactive
ReplyDeleteReally? That's when I got an erection...er...interested!
ReplyDeleteOfficially cancelled my WWE Network subscription. Was only keeping it to watch the PPVs, and I don't care about RR and everything with Reigns and now Lesnar seems like such a forgone conclusion that I'm not all that interested in Wrestlemania either. You would think WWE would have some sort of exit survey to find out WHY people are cancelling, but Vince & co. probably don't want to hear the answers.
ReplyDeleteWhat round was Odell Beckham drafted? Need to make sure I know before the obligatory "how did so many teams miss on this guy" comment.
ReplyDeleteThe BOD league goes 17. Which sucks cause a lot of star players get sit, so it's kinda a crapshoot, not that it stopped me from winning the league each year.
ReplyDeleteTrue, but I would still yank my starters at halftime regardless of the score. Doubt that will happen though.
ReplyDelete1st rounder. Always looked like a stud.
ReplyDeleteOh, then why did it take so long before he made an impact?
ReplyDeleteOh... I'm not really paying attention to the game.
ReplyDeleteHe was hurt.
ReplyDeleteGetting paid isn't the problem. The problem is Jerry going to over pay him and destroy his cap again.
ReplyDeleteOF COURSE Chiefs get their first TD by a WR in the last game.
ReplyDeleteFor those taking a pass on the CIN/PIT game tonight, there will be a block of alcohol/drinking themed episodes of the Simpsons on FXX.
ReplyDeleteInjured
ReplyDeleteBoooooo! I wanted to see history made.
ReplyDeleteCome on Chargers, look alive.
ReplyDeleteFirst
ReplyDeleteMe too. Plus I need KC to lose and Charles to score.
ReplyDeleteBrady might be, or at least the 4th.
ReplyDeleteFucking boo to that shit.
ReplyDeleteHow long will it take you to flood this town with booze again?
ReplyDeleteFour minutes.
Better looking Watson: Martin Freeman or Lucy Liu?
ReplyDeleteLOL TD-less WR streak continues!
ReplyDeleteAnd of course I give up on the terrible MIA-NYJ game and immediately miss vintage Jets QB play.
ReplyDeleteIn amazing fashion too!
ReplyDeleteI hate last days of vacations. Can never really enjoy these days.
ReplyDeleteHow many records will Dallas set today? Is Romo within striking distance of any records?
ReplyDeleteI don't remember a week 17 this lame and without the intrigue.
ReplyDeleteGotta get the backup some time so you can sucker some team into giving up a good pick for him...
ReplyDeleteTo alcohol! The cause of... and solution to... all of life's problems!
ReplyDeleteFuck yeah!!
ReplyDeleteThere's lots of intrigue in the AFC
ReplyDeleteSan Diego win and we're in, but I'm biased
ReplyDeleteThat's like my mantra.
ReplyDeleteEmma, ftw
ReplyDeleteMills Lane: I'll allow it!
ReplyDeleteChargers win, playoff participants are set. Bengals/Steelers for the division, but both are in anyway.
ReplyDeleteFACKIN BOOSHEET. Come on San Diego!
ReplyDeleteBut the Bolts are losing
ReplyDeleteThen that might make things interesting
ReplyDeleteFUCK YEAH Royal!
ReplyDeleteSo they failed with House as Lawyer, Dwight looks like a fail as House as Cop....fuckers shouldn't have cancelled House
ReplyDeleteBRandon Oliver, baby!
ReplyDeleteIt went on too long anyway
ReplyDeleteYeah, it only took me 15 years to notice the TNT/Nitro name connection, wanna fight about it?
ReplyDeleteOnce he hooked up with Cuddy, the was the end for me.
ReplyDeleteEh, I can't argue, but House was kinda like Flair, even when it's a shell of its former self, still better than what else is on
ReplyDeleteHouse was declining in the ratings. Absolutely the right call
ReplyDeleteMy problem with shows like House and Monk is that if the quirky guy with people issues is right in every episode, then at some point it might do you better to listen to the guy instead of pretending they don't know what they're talking about.
ReplyDeleteAgain, not arguing it, but then they should take the hint continually shoving the same archetype character into shows
ReplyDeleteMight as well roll the dice, since it was Kinnear's first TV role and people like Rainn Wilson.
ReplyDeletePlus, it's a midseason filler anyway, so it's not like they have big hopes for it, they're just plugging holes in the schedule.
ReplyDelete...Wow, that does make sense.
ReplyDeleteI got myself a Christmas present...
ReplyDeletehttp://www.mossberg.com/product/shotguns-pump-action-mossberg-500-tactical-500-6-shot-8-shot-500-cruiser-6-shot/54125
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooook then.
ReplyDeleteFOX is so fucked right now that any show that people will remotely give a shit about is a good idea.
ReplyDeleteHey, if you can't make money with a comedy set in a children's sick ward, I don't know what can
ReplyDeleteWhoa.
ReplyDelete27-7 Cowboys
ReplyDeleteTomorrow is my favorite Monday of the year...When all the shitty coaches get the pink slip
ReplyDeleteLuck just broke a Manning record.
ReplyDeleteHArbaugh, Rex, Trestman, who else?
ReplyDeleteMost TD passes thrown to Andy Dwyer?
ReplyDeleteMike Smith if the Birds lose.
ReplyDeleteEven Cowboys have to admit it. Despite their early success people said "Just wait for the same old Cowboys in December"
ReplyDeleteWell it's December and the meltdown people were sure of never came.
Gotta give them credit. They've had a hell of a season and didn't fade down the stretch.
They'll blow it in the playoffs, like clockwork. Hopefully Romo is off holding duties on kicks.
ReplyDeleteRomo has like 12 touchdowns and no interceptions this month.
ReplyDeleteCharger fans shouldn't talk shit. Just saying.
ReplyDeleteFuck, can't get any separation thus far in the BoD FFLoD championship. I'm nervous
ReplyDeleteYes I can. Cause it's Romo and the Cowboys.
ReplyDeleteThat's kinda bullshit though. People can't say "They'll meltdown in December!" And then when Dallas doesn't change it to "Oh they'll meltdown in the playoffs so I was right anyways!"
ReplyDeletePossibly Lovie, Coughlin
ReplyDeleteCowboys v. Lions/Packers is going to be an awesome Saturday night game.
ReplyDeleteI don't cheer injuries, but Brady getting knocked out would be really funny
Lovie is a dark horse candidate to go, they were a fucking mess even with two receivers around 1,000 yards.
ReplyDeleteYeah, and they're better than the Chargers in every way. Always have been.
ReplyDeleteBoth are said to be coming back
ReplyDeleteThere's no way in hell Tampa should have been that bad this year
ReplyDeleteThere's always a darkhorse or a surprise too
ReplyDeleteWell, they haven't been in the playoffs for a while because of their December meltdowns, so we've hadn't had to say that. But yeah, Romo's resume in the playoffs shouldn't be any cause for comfort.
ReplyDeleteIt took me several months to realize that disqus meant "discuss" not "discus" like discus hurler
ReplyDeleteMeh, last time they did fine. They got killed by the Vikes but that team was great
ReplyDeleteDallas at Seattle for the NFC Championship. Pittsburgh at New England for the AFC Champions hip.
ReplyDelete"last time they did fine"
ReplyDelete"They got killed by the Vikes"
You and I have different definitions of fine.
As a Vikings fan, that was the greatest game of my lifetime
ReplyDeleteHave you been watching them since 1996? Because the last seventeen years seem to contradict the "always have been" part.
ReplyDeleteStupid throw by Eli but awesome just grabbing one of Beckham's arms is legal today
ReplyDeleteThey beat the Eagles and then got beat by a far superior team.
ReplyDeleteWow, never knew that. Always pronounced it 'discus' .
ReplyDeleteWhat a stupid name.
So you non-Steeler fans here believing the darkhorse talk?
ReplyDeleteI will give them credit though, they went through December without Schrute'ing it. But Jones didn't give him that money to win just in December, so there's still more breath holding if you're a fan of the Jerrys.
ReplyDeleteGood stand by San Diego, let's get a TD before half
ReplyDeleteLe'veon Bell and Antonio Brown have been two of the best skill position players this year. Ben's got the skill and the experience to win on the road. Comes down to the defense. I think they can play with anyone in the AFC.
ReplyDeleteBeat my mom in online monopoly in one move LOL. Dumb computer players.
ReplyDeleteCC Sabathia had a meltdown at an airport after missing a flight. Hopefully he didn't shred his knee again.
ReplyDeleteSame results as last season. Go Hawks.
ReplyDeleteWhat?!?!?!
ReplyDeleteApparently, airport security had to come and cool down CC after he flipped his shit when he and his family missed a flight to Jamaica.
ReplyDeleteYep. The team is finally clicking.
ReplyDeleteIt's so weird having two hood football teams in the Pacific Northwest.
"The Godwinns in particular didn't care for Tammy's hypocrisy in keeping Chris on a leash while fulfilling her own hedonism, so when an angle arose that called for them to pour a bucket of their trademark pig slop over her head, they used it as an opportunity to exact some revenge. As Dennis Knight, who played hillbilly pig handler Phineas Godwinn recalled, 'I left the bucket in the locker-room and said to no one in particular, 'So, I am slopping Sunny tonight. Don't anybody be touching this bucket...' and sure enough the bucket was full when I got back. She got a mixture of a little bit of everyone that night.'"
ReplyDeleteOnly if he got angry like that when he pitched
ReplyDeleteKinda nuts that everyone was freaking out about threats against theaters and now movies just had the biggest post-Xmas weekend ever.
ReplyDeleteIf "Ice, Ice Baby" advances I'm gonna be pissed.
ReplyDeleteThat feeling when you hear the opening riff then realize it's that song and not Under Pressure
ReplyDeleteBeat GB, play really well (so far) against NE, get bounced from the playoffs by the fucking Raiders. Bills football in a nutshell.
ReplyDeleteSuch overwhelming sadness knowing you've been robbed of Bowie and Freddie.
ReplyDeleteDallas is going to be dangerous come playoff time.
ReplyDeleteThe RRRRRRAIDAS!
ReplyDeleteWord to ya' mutha.
ReplyDeleteChargers still hanging around but we need fucking TDs.
ReplyDeleteFrom the Oakland! Alameda County! Coliseum!
ReplyDeleteFuck Chris Berman.
ReplyDeleteI don't think they can beat the Broncos or Patriots, but they can anyone else in the AFC.
ReplyDeleteWhere the shit overflows literally and the cholos stab/reign supreme
ReplyDeleteWhen I think of 90s songs, that is one that I usually think of immediately
ReplyDeleteBut the Broncos/Pats can't attack them where they are the weakest
ReplyDeleteJeez, Chris Candido was WHIPPED
ReplyDeleteFor me, the "greatest" song should actually be the "best quality" song, not the most memorable. The two are not mutually exclusive.
ReplyDeleteIf Dallas keeps playing like they are and not make mistakes they might go far. BOOM
ReplyDeleteHaven't paid for either of the Taken movies so far, but Taken meets Fugitive has me intrigued...though 3 for E in title might balance that out
ReplyDeletePaid for the first one, was dragged to the second one. First one was good, second one really, really sucked.
ReplyDelete
