All this talk about Manziel getting into the game today is ridiculous. Even if he does get in, it is a completely unfair to evaluate his performance as he received no first team reps all week.
ReplyDeleteHow the fuck can you rank a team 3rd in your playoff ranking last week, and drop them to 6th this week? They can't help their schedule, and they responded by blowing them the fuck out. They should've never been rated above Florida State to begin with.
ReplyDeleteIndy is only 3.5 favorites at Cleveland? Really?
ReplyDeleteRiding with Bayless again this week. I got KC -1, Indy -4
ReplyDeleteCollege football is the worst. They've been at it for a century and still have no idea how to crown a champion.
ReplyDeleteThis college football playoff is already a joke. OSU gets in because of $$$ and because the committee doesn't have the balls to choose between Baylor or TCU.
ReplyDeleteCommittee didn't have the guts to drop FSU out of the top 4.
ReplyDeleteI also disagree with them keeping Alabama at #1
The Ohio State money interest came in. Like I get that the Big 12 wasn't a premier conference this year but they were better than the Big 10, that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteThe conference commissioners set this up weeks ago saying that "that region of the country" should be represented.
Man, going basically .500 on picks is pretty impressive, actually. Nice job, Bayless.
ReplyDeleteTCU fell out all the way from #3. Wow.
ReplyDeleteIt's the battle of a St. Ignatius QB v. the son of a legendary St. Ignatius QB!
ReplyDeleteExcited for tonight; a huge game for the Superchargers, something I didn't expect back at 5-4.
ReplyDeleteYou ignoramus!
ReplyDeleteSo is TCU the Daniel Bryan of college football, or what?
ReplyDeleteWorse than that; at least Bryan got his world title shot.
ReplyDeleteSure. If TCU has the entire national championship scene rewritten completely around them and then gets booked to go over Alabama, FSU and Oregon all clean in route to winning the championship, then yeah, just like Daniel Bryan.
ReplyDeleteWow, it's like Hoyer and Gordon aren't even on the same field, that pass was to no one in particular.
ReplyDeleteI feel like if TCU lost to a lesser team than Baylor, it would have benefited them if that makes any sense. I think Baylor beating TCU but TCU being considered the better team hurt both of them.
ReplyDeleteFirst we couldn't win on the road. Now we can't win at home. I need to start drinking
ReplyDeleteYes. (Yes. Yes)
ReplyDeleteWait, wait, wait... You're allowed to score a touchdown on the opening drive?
ReplyDeleteGet the fuck out...
Yeah it's silly. It's like figure skating. They should go to a 16 team playoffs. I feel like that would generate tons of $$$ instead of all the loser bowls they still do
ReplyDeleteThe joys of playing the 31st ranked defense
ReplyDeleteHopefully the seahawls wreck shop on the eagles
ReplyDeleteI hope they never turn lana into a wrestler. I think she's a special performer and to see her wrestle would probably wreck her persona.
ReplyDeleteMark Ingram should be murdered
ReplyDeletehttp://www.wrestlezone.com/news/532689-former-heavenly-bodies-tag-team-star-jimmy-del-ray-passes-away-at-52
ReplyDelete😕
Our inconsistency is maddening
ReplyDeleteI like that Renee Young told them she had no interest in wrestling. I wish they'd stop making girls who can't wrestle, er, wrestle.
ReplyDeleteMan why didn't I take Carolina and the points.
ReplyDeleteI remember thinking they actually had a shot at winning the game outright. I'm an idiot.
So why no love for Cotton Eye Joe? What is wrong with humanity?
ReplyDeleteHow long after this song was played out and dated did the Yankees continue to use it for Yankee home run trots?
That and a lack of a conference champion. If Baylor's coach was pissed at his commish last night, he must be 1.2 Zandig today because the co-champion thing probably fucked both squads.
ReplyDeleteCarolina Panthers: Two New Orleans possessions, two turnovers. Life is good right now.
ReplyDeleteYep. We used to never lose at home. It was nice...
ReplyDeleteLife sucks and then you die.
ReplyDeleteI hope TCU goes all the way!
ReplyDelete#LOLHOYERSUCKS
ReplyDeleteOh, shit, Carolina and New Orleans fighting and breaking through walls. Surreal as shit.
ReplyDeleteMaybe this will fire up the Saints?
ReplyDeleteGeez, whats wrong with drew brees this year?
ReplyDeleteCarolina Panthers, 17-0 with 6:41 left in the first quarter. Hell is... getting chilly.
ReplyDeleteNothing is "wrong" with Drew Brees this year.
ReplyDeleteThis is ridiculous, especially after all the Panthers whining about running up the score. The Saints should've destroyed them
ReplyDeleteBenwikere just made a Hell of a play, can't really fault Drew Brees for that interception. If anything blame the receiver for poor ball control.
ReplyDeleteLet's be honest, dude. We're watching two turds play right now. Panthers just have more buoyancy and are floating to the top of the toilet faster tonight.
ReplyDeleteCleveland/Indy has all the makings of a rock fight. I didn't support Manziel getting in the game before but if Hoyer continues to stink, give Johnny the 2nd half. If Indy can't score today then Johnny's running could turn the game.
ReplyDeleteNo WRs, no running game to soften the D.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand how you can clobber Green Bay and Carolina and finally get momentum. Then somehow lose three straight at home. Then beat Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh.
ReplyDeleteAnd now this
Ingram's been running 100 yards recently
ReplyDeleteBest. Metaphor. Ever.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.nola.com/saints/index.ssf/2014/12/what_decline_at_35_drew_brees.html
ReplyDeleteFun fact: The Saints have not had a return TD since Week 17 of the 2012 season
ReplyDeleteThis Panthers-Saints game is bizarro world.
ReplyDeleteAndy Dwyer would be so disappointed by the Andrew Luck turnover into Browns TD
ReplyDeleteVoting against "Cotton-Eye Joe" is voting against sanity.
ReplyDeleteLuck is mad as hell at someone over that strip sack into TD. Don't know who.
ReplyDeleteHimself? It should be himself.
ReplyDeleteMIA/BAL or STL/WAS. Sonic Highways instead. The NYC episode is most definitely a love affair for music, the business, and a plead for people to create.
ReplyDeleteAh, there's the Mike Shula I know. Two yards needed on third, let's throw it forty!
ReplyDeleteEMPIRE is starting soon on Fox... I cannot wait to not watch that fucking show.
ReplyDeleteJimmy Del Ray died. Bummer.
ReplyDeleteI probably got the best two games going right now, IND/CLE and PIT/CIN. The other games I pretty much don't give a shit about right now.
ReplyDeleteVery sad. Only 52 years old.
ReplyDeleteAww man. That sucks.
ReplyDeleteAre the Vikings getting better or are they just paying bad teams the last two weeks?
ReplyDeleteDoes not seem like I'm gonna make the Playoffs in my final fantasy league. Down 20 already, and not projected to score more than 90. Opponent is projected at 112.
ReplyDeleteI'm already in (what I dub myself) King of Consolation mode.
ReplyDeleteNever good when your arms stay up after you hit the ground after a big hit.
ReplyDeleteBeen a choppy year all season for all 3 leagues.
ReplyDeleteMy best league I ran a 4 game winning streak to get to 7-2, but now I've lost 3 streak. If I lose this, it'll be 4 straight, and I'll probably get knocked out of my 4th spot in the Playoffs.
Matt Ryan being iffy all year, early injuries to RBs, no consistent production from any WR, and no production from TE from the last 3 games (I have Julius Thomas).
I guess I can't win championship every year.
STL's kicker is melting down.
ReplyDeleteMissed an extra point the previous drive.
Just missed a 25-30 yard FG just now.
One of my teams featured Stafford, Foster, Lacy & the Seattle DEF. Finished 5-8. Wait 'til next year...
ReplyDeleteLACES OUT
ReplyDeleteTheir running averages are decent, and overall offensive input is good, although a little off from previous years especially when it comes to TD. Main problem is the defense sucks.
ReplyDeleteShe's been training for over a year, and she's a talented dancer that can do crazy flexible stuff. She'll wrestle eventually.
ReplyDeleteI know...but it would be cool if she stays untouchable and doesn't take bumps. Although divas champ lana doing it for the glory of Russia could be dope.
ReplyDeleteLast year was magical. I almost can't take credit. I forgot my draft, and Yahoo autoed for me.
ReplyDeleteQB Tom Brady (slow start)
RB Jamaal Charles
RB Chris Johnson
WR Jordy Nelson
WR Danny Amendola
TE Jimmy Graham
K Stephen Gostkowski
I filled out the roster with:
RB Knowshon Moreno
WR Julian Edelman
DEF Denver
10-4. I needed the big 6 TD game from Charles to make the Finals though, so that was awesome as well. Used up all my luck I guess, but it was worth it!
One of the Redskins players did the Shawn Michaels pose. Lol
ReplyDelete...Skins are terrible...
ReplyDeleteShayne Graham: Best Kicker Carolina's ever had. Thanks, bud!
ReplyDeleteKerrigan just did it again after another sack.
ReplyDeleteEverybody loves him here. Especially when it seemed like Orakpo wasn't consistent.
You aren't truly in surf shape until you're ready to wear something that says Beach Bum on it.
ReplyDeleteI think they're turning the corner. They had a disastrous start and started figuring it out. Even their losses since the bad start weren't bad losses.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Pepsi, for reminding me I'll be Puppy Bowl-ing during SB halftime instead of subjecting myself to the ear-bleeding wails of Katy Perry.
ReplyDeleteIf Andrew Luck shaved the neckbeard he'd get more credit for his running and athleticism, I really believe that.
ReplyDeleteSkins 40 yard screen called back for ineligible receiver down the field (center blocked down field too quickly).
ReplyDeleteAwesome.
He's getting ready for next year's Gen Con.
ReplyDeleteHe's a caveman.
ReplyDeleteWelp, fuck this year's playoffs. Looks like a whole bunch of Meteor Bowls to me.
ReplyDeleteHa, just after Suh has played clean all season and has been a saint on the field, he tries to literally murder Josh McCown in front of 65,000 people
ReplyDeleteBut...but ...its going to be great! She is such a great performer and her stage shows are out of this world!
ReplyDeleteSaid no one ever over the age 13.
I think Hoyer's trying to get benched at this point. Open receiver deep, guaranteed TD and Hoyer misses him for 10 yards minimum. I just don't get how far he regressed this year.
ReplyDeleteBring on Johnny.
Hoyer with the X-Pac Heat now after overthrowing a wide open for a TD Hawkins by about six yards.
ReplyDeleteAnd seriously thinks he's gonna get starter money on the open market?
ReplyDeleteIghedibo (spelling) gets the pick in the endzone on McCown, instead of kneeling in the endzone, runs out and fumbles the ball on like the 5 and the Bucs get it back. How stupid.
ReplyDeleteYOU BIG DUMMY
ReplyDeleteYa Big DUMMY!
ReplyDeleteSTL kicker up again for a half ending FG!
ReplyDelete38 yard FG. Wide right. Again. For the 3rd time.
ReplyDeleteHe should just get out of the stadium now and save time. He's fired at the end of the game anyways.
ReplyDeleteErr, no. The Skins would have no chance then.
ReplyDelete"WWE wishes Phil Brooks (aka CM Punk) the best of luck in his newest endeavor." hahahahahahahaha
ReplyDeleteThis is the mood right now at the Kensington Estate...
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWLIgjB9gGw
Gonna need some bomb catches from Torrey Smith, TY Hilton, and Marcus Wheaton.
ReplyDeleteAlso good to know I picked up Heath Miller, didn't start him hoping for J Thomas to start, and he catches a TD while Thomas is out again.
Epic 5 minute meltdown by Detroit.
ReplyDeleteRoughing the Passer on Suh
Interception in endzone, running the ball out then fumbling and giving it back to Tampa
Personal Foul on James Jones
Touchdown to Mike Evans
What in the fucking fuck.
I wonder if Steph dressed up last night as Punk or she just put on the strap-on instead.
ReplyDeleteHoyer probably saved his job with that drive. No score on this drive and Johnny was coming out for the 2nd half.
ReplyDeleteGotta give credit to Mike Evans. Rookie of the year so far, and I gave no shits about the guy going into the draft, crediting his success to the Tex A&M offense scheme and Manzell
ReplyDeletelol the domestic violence commercial.
ReplyDeleteEli looked like he about to get a beating from dad after he blew another game.
VINTAGE LIONS!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE IT MAGGLE!
All 3 receivers might have good careers too.
ReplyDeleteHe prolonged his job but he's not under center for them week 1 next year.
ReplyDeleteHold on a minute there playas! Them Panthers ain't dead yet. Not when you play teams that suck more than you do
ReplyDeleteDepends if they make the playoffs this year which is still on the table, especially if they win today. If he leads them to 11-5, he's not getting Tebow'd in the offseason. At least I don't think he is.
ReplyDeleteSources saying he's already out because he wants starter money and security, and that's not gonna happen in Cleveland.
ReplyDeleteInteresting quote I found on a random ESPN thread.
ReplyDelete"You can never say never in sports. We got baseball in DC, and they got Football in Baltimore!"
Cant make something like this up....
ReplyDeleteLast night, couples date night thing with my girlfriend and her friends, went to Buffalo Wild Wings around midnight after a night of drinking and bowling. Typical Affliction shirt wearing, steroid using, greasy hair, mid-40's guy stands up during the UFC main event and goes "KILL HIM, KILL THAT MOTHERFUCKER!!! FUCKING KILL HIM!"
So what do I do?? As everyone at my table is in awe? I stand up and go "I hate that MOTHERFUCKER! MURDER HIM! I WANT HIM TO DIE!"
The guy stares at me in disbelief, then high-fives me and says FUCK YEA and leaves with his son after the fight ends.
Good god.
Washington might need a QB.
ReplyDeleteArizona too for that matter.
Buffalo.
Jets.
Tampa Bay.
Hoyer could be the next Drew Brees.
Derek Anderson
ReplyDeleteHaha minus the Maggle part, the EXACT text I sent to my dad 10 minutes ago. VINTAGE LIONS
ReplyDeleteInteracting with the wildlife at sports bars is awesome. I used to watch WWE PPVs at Hooters. Every now and then there would be a couple of guys who'd be a little TOO into it. They were always fun to banter with.
ReplyDeleteTrying to back door into the Bod Fantasy Football League playoffs after starting 3-6. Bad start so far
ReplyDeleteHey NFL, the domestic violence conversation starts with you telling your players to stop beating the shit out of women and children.
ReplyDeleteHoyer might be the next McCown. No way he's Brees.
ReplyDeleteTrash like that is common where I live. Partly why I'm a hermit.
ReplyDeleteHoyer might be the next Gus Frerotte
ReplyDeleteTheir heart just isn't in it.
ReplyDeleteI think WWE is actually happy with Punk going to UFC, because it mutes the injury and MMA stuff.
ReplyDeleteLol its so awkward and so embarrassing to see.
ReplyDeleteI got a good laugh from people around me at different tables who kinda knew what I was sarcastically doing, but most everyone I was with was embarrassed to be with me unfortunately. I was probably 8-10 beers in at that point in the night, so what can you do...
Me too. Trying to get to 12-2 and hopefully sneak in as a #6.
ReplyDeleteHow many guys are in the league this year?
ReplyDeleteWhy? Because Brees was so great in San Diego? Remember the Dolphins passed over him for Donte Culpepper as a free agent, and Brees was regarded as just another bad move by the Saints.
ReplyDelete16
ReplyDeleteDamn. Is that the max you can do?
ReplyDeleteThat's too many.
ReplyDeleteRoster settings in that league need to change.
ReplyDeleteI knew 16 in football was too many, but 16 is too many in basketball as well.
ReplyDeleteThe roster settings make it impossible to do anything in that league.m
ReplyDeleteOne of my leagues is possibly worse.
ReplyDelete16 players, no trades, waivers are based on standings, not a set number.
I am the 6th seed now. It's a minor miracle with the patchwork team I have. It's Aaron Rodgers, Alfred Morris, and a bunch of crap
ReplyDeleteHere's to hoping Cleveland goes Manziel next week and we can beat them, then it's a dogfight in the final two weeks, because if Atlanta goes down hard tomorrow night in Lambeau (almost a guarantee), Panthers are a game back.
ReplyDeleteIf STL doesn't make this 3rd and 20, it's FG time!
ReplyDeleteAt least Brees had one awesome year in SD (2004). I'm failing to see what so Brees-y about a guy with a sub-60% completion rating and 11 TDs and 10 INTs in his first full year as a starter.
ReplyDeleteAnd here comes the kicker!
ReplyDeleteMore people to feed on for me. FEED ME MORE FEED ME MORE FEED
ReplyDeleteBARELY made it! Damn.
ReplyDeleteStarting with "Keep DBSM from winning all the titles so someone else has a shot"
ReplyDeleteI have so many injuries.
ReplyDeleteFirst Beal, then Gibson, and now Vucevic.
Speaking of Ryback, Cabana's impression of him on the first Punk podcast killed me "I thought we were the beater-uper's!"
ReplyDeleteI seem to have a Midas touch in terms of lucking out with guys who stay healthy all year. I don't think I've been hit with that regard in any of our three years of doing BOD FF
ReplyDeleteSerious discussion...Calvin Johnson....Top-5 WR of all time or Top-3 WR of all time?
ReplyDeleteBeing a diehard Lions fan I try to not show bias. I still have Jerry Rice and Randy Moss in front of him. So I think Top 3
Fox waits until the 2nd half to bring up Bryan Burwell? WTF?! Jesus Christ.
ReplyDeleteFlitzgerald should have been in the top 5, but you know, no decent QBs.
ReplyDeleteNot yet. Getting there, but let's let him get a dozen years under his belt before we start talking legacy.
ReplyDeleteThe one shining point of TB this year.
ReplyDeleteI was getting a little ahead of myself, I know :)
ReplyDeleteNew Orleans Saints Remaining Games (5-7, looking like 5-8)
ReplyDelete@ Chicago, Atlanta, @ Tampa Bay
Atlanta Falcons Remaining Games (5-7)
@ Green Bay, Pittsburgh, @ New Orleans, Carolina
Carolina Panthers Remaining Games (3-8-1, looking like 4-8-1)
Tampa Bay, Cleveland, @ Atlanta
The NFC South could realistically see the first six-game division winner.
Ifhe stays healthy and productive, he'll be in the conversation.
ReplyDeleteI'd still have T.O. above him as well.
ReplyDeleteHe's neither at this point; to enter the consideration for GOAT, he has to actually win something, and play for at least ten to twelve years. He can get there though, no doubt.
ReplyDeleteWe're all hoping for it. My guess is some of these fans rather lose the division than win with that "honor".
ReplyDeleteSaints should sweep those last 3 easy.
ReplyDeleteThe Falcons are losing tomorrow. Atlanta is the last game, right? I can feel it
ReplyDeleteWhy?
ReplyDeleteThe Saints are BAD.
ReplyDeleteIf the Saints were good enough to win the games they should win, they'd be 9-3 right now.
ReplyDeleteI think Gruden just got himself fired.
ReplyDeleteHe called a fake punt from his own 30 and it was stuffed.
The Bears, Falcons and Bucs are BAD.
ReplyDeletehahahahahahahahahahahahaha That's Lane Kiffen level idgaf-ness
ReplyDeleteBears and Bucs are no brainer wins.
ReplyDeleteBecause people are dumb.
ReplyDeleteCertainly doable but nothing is a certainty this year
ReplyDeleteNew Orleans out of the dome in Chicago in December? Saints are terrible outdoors in cold weather. Tampa Bay played New Orleans very tough in the dome as well, so that's also a closer one than you realize.
ReplyDeleteThe Saints are getting killed by Carolina and are about to lose their 4th straight at home
ReplyDeleteIt was like 4th and 9 too.
ReplyDeleteBucs are for sure but I'm not taking this year's Saints on the road against any actual NFL team.
ReplyDeleteToday was a no brainer win.
ReplyDeleteThe Bears are about as bad as they come right now. Saints win by 2+ TD's.
ReplyDeleteWow, alright.
ReplyDeleteThe Bears are horrendous.
ReplyDeleteDoesnt he have contract stating he gets owed a shit ton of money if fired or something?
ReplyDeleteDo you see what's going on in the Superdome?
ReplyDeleteSo what? Synder is worth like 3 billion or something.
ReplyDeleteMost coaches do. Shanahan is still collecting Dan Snyder's money. If he quit he didn't get the money so he went out of his way to get fired.
ReplyDeleteGruden taking this super hardline stance on RG3 is him trying to get fired also. Either he gets what he wants and RG3 is out of town or he gets paid to sit on his couch.
I've see every second of what's going on in Chicago and the Saints will roll them.
ReplyDeleteSaints fans are booing now. Took longer than I thought
ReplyDeleteI hope the Redskins fall into a giant Black hole of suck until Dan Snyder goes.
ReplyDeleteAlso what the fuck is the Saints defense doing?
4 losses in a row at home. Their home streak under Payton was starting to reach Taker levels.
ReplyDeleteThere's also this...
ReplyDeletehttp://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/11992973/london-fletcher-rips-jim-haslett-washington-redskins-defensive-coordinator-clueless
As I said, the gift that keeps giving. I'm not a Redskins fan at all, so I find all of this hilarious usually.
Did you say hope they fall in?
ReplyDeleteSo what's the last 17 years?
Gruden should just put RG3 in and call nothing but read options.
ReplyDeleteLOL it gets worse in DC! STL fakes the extra point and gets 2 point conversion.
ReplyDeleteHoly Shit... 69-yard Touchdown Run for Carolina on their first play of the half. What the fuck are we watching here? This is like the Twilight Zone.
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna go to the mall and stop by the rope store. Then I'll make sure to pay a visit to the rickety store.
ReplyDelete69-yard touchdown run for Stewart! I motion we just play the rest of our games in New Orleans for the remainder of the season.
ReplyDeletePick Six - Cleveland
ReplyDeleteLuck with another pick 6. Cleveland's defense has 14, both team's offenses are at 7 apiece.
ReplyDeleteI don't think anyone from the NFC South is rolling anyone at this point, except each other.
ReplyDeleteDo not get sucked in by any of this. It's all an illusion
ReplyDeleteThis is weird, because Indy usually beats mediocre and bad teams.
ReplyDeleteYou! Shut your dirty mouth, sir! You will not rain on my parade.
ReplyDelete
