Can't wait to watch Johnny Football flop today. He was born to play in Cleveland.
ReplyDeleteHe was born to carry this franchise to the promised land!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping for steelers beating falcons, bucs beating panthers and bears beating saints
ReplyDeleteExcited for Johnny Football and attending TLC tonight!
ReplyDeleteYour disappointment will be of great humor to me as time passes. Thank you for this gift.
ReplyDeleteIs tonight's ppv really called tables, ladders, chairs and stairs?
ReplyDeleteYes.
ReplyDeleteYes to the Steelers, and Yes to the Bears. Bucs? Die like the dogs that you are!
ReplyDeleteFirst EVER stairs match. Get HYPED!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a todo list around the house
ReplyDeleteWill the Colts and Giants win?
ReplyDeleteNo.
ReplyDeleteYou think that's bad? Wait until they have to fit next year's show on the ring skirt: Tables, Ladders, Chairs, Stairs, Hell in a Cell and Ring Bells.
ReplyDeleteI made it to Round 2 of my fantasy playoffs last week by 4 points after Jordy Nelson went off. This week I play the 1 seed who has won 11 games in a row, and I only have one serviceable RB. Gonna take another miracle.
ReplyDeleteTLC should be a good show. Where are you sitting
ReplyDeleteIf tonight's show goes off as well as some people expect, who does R/SquaredCircle send a fruit basket to? Those guys are the worst.
ReplyDeleteGood luck. I believe in you.
ReplyDeleteKevin Dunn.
ReplyDeleteAre you taking a sign? If so, here are some options for you:
ReplyDeleteThe Biff Says This Sucks
#ThisIsNotWrestling
What's Kayfabe?
#LOLCenaWins...Again
What Would You Do For a Push?
HAHA! FRUIT BASKET MAAAAAAGLE!!!
ReplyDeleteOh I am not looking forward to this.
ReplyDeleteIf sent to Kevin Dunn, it should be a stuffed beaver and a Jim Cornette Face t-shirt.
ReplyDeleteDebating whether to stay in and watch the PPV tonight or go to a local Indy show. The indy show lineup is awful, to put it nicely, but so is the PPV.
ReplyDeleteI liked Wooo's idea of sending HHH an engraved shovel
ReplyDeleteIf the indy show is awful, just chill here with us. The only thing worse than bad wrestling is bad wrestling with no standards.
ReplyDeleteI'm in the club level opposite hard camera. Might be a little high up to be seen on camera.
ReplyDeleteAll right - got Green Bay/Buffalo for the early game. I don't think the Packers are going to run roughshod over the Bill defense.
ReplyDeleteDoubt I take a sign unless you can make your own at the arena.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to one of their shows since the summer but they started bringing in Masada, a guy who does zero wrestling moves, and put their belt on him. I don't even think they got hometown ACH for this show either.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy. Despite the fact that company seems directionless, the matches themselves on paper look more than solid and if the reports of the WWE guys getting upset that the NXT guys are getting a chance to shine and do what they want while they have so many restrictions yet wanting to outperform NXT, they should be going all out tonight.
ReplyDeleteI get the Bengals/Browns game out here thanks to the 49ers playing the 4:15 game. I'm pretty excited to see Manziel play against first team defenses.
ReplyDeleteThey better. I thought Hell in a Cell had a chance to be one of the better cards of the year and that didn't happen. Hopefully no ghosts.
ReplyDeleteOkay, where's our Clevelanders? I want them to document their surprise and frustration with Johnny Football today.
ReplyDeleteAye
ReplyDeleteI'm starting Manziel on my fantasy team. I'm in the consolation round so nothing's at stake. I got Sea/SF as my late FOX game along with DEN/SD on CBS.
ReplyDeleteMASADA: punch, kick, throw through glass, powerbomb, powerbomb, German suplex, jam those sticks into a guy's head, powerbomb, fisherman's buster, pin.
ReplyDeleteOoooo boy Steelers/Falcons plus Jonathan T. Football
ReplyDeleteGod fucking damnit Gumbel, Steeler fans don't travel, they are everywhere because there aren't any jobs in Western PA.
ReplyDeleteLana tweeted and then quickly removed a pic of the European title that features the new logo. Because that's what we need, more belts!
ReplyDeleteAt least they'll get another jobber out of the deal
ReplyDeleteJOHNNY JAM BOOGIE!
ReplyDeleteLana should quickly remove her clothes again.
ReplyDeleteI have voted for every Social D song in the tourney so far because I can't break my #1 rule: When Mike Ness is available, always choose Mike Ness.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of playcall was that for Miami?
ReplyDeletePatriots blocked FG return for a TD
ReplyDeleteFFS.
ReplyDeleteJoe Philbin is a moron
ReplyDeleteJamie Collins has been nasty the past few games
ReplyDeleteThat type of run on 3rd and 6 in Pats territory? Sad.
ReplyDeleteI thought the Marcellus Shale was supposed to create tons of jobs?
ReplyDeleteSame here, but we have the Texans/Colts on CBS. Many of the Texas stations are showing Cleveland games due to Johnny's popularity here. Same thing happened with Vince Young and Tennessee for a few years.
ReplyDeleteStarting Manziel as well in another league, I'm decimated by injuries so why not.
Le'Von Bell has amazing vision for a RB
ReplyDeleteI'd take Jim Harbaugh at this point. He'd poison the club, but at least they'd get a few winning seasons out of it. (And it's been pretty toxic for a good long while anyway)
ReplyDeleteHe's probably join up with that asshole Mike Pouncey and dunk some poor trainer's head in the ice bath.
ReplyDeleteI just don't get it. Harbaugh has led SF to more wins than the previous 10 seasons combined without him. He must be pissing off a TON of office.
ReplyDeleteHere it is...
ReplyDeletehttp://cdn2-www.wrestlezone.com/assets/uploads/2014/12/0fRGkkD.jpg
That's more in north central, central PA
ReplyDeleteGreen Bay vs. Buffalo is like a jobber match where the jobber is Brooklyn Brawler or Jim Powers instead of one of the random schmucks.
ReplyDeleteYeah, the hologram was not a good idea.
ReplyDeleteI didn't watch NXT. I just rode the wave on here and youtubed what I needed to see later.
ReplyDeleteGonna do the same thing tonight. See how TLCS plays out. I'm not expecting much at all. Really worried about AMBROSE vs Wyatt flopping. Cleveland is going to be extra pissy after Johnny Football shits the bed this afternoon.

ReplyDeleteGlad Cleveland's defense lets the Bungles convert every third down
ReplyDeleteAnd Jeremy Hill makes fun of LeBron lol
ReplyDeleteIt was majestic.
ReplyDeleteIn terms of not having the network, is it a money thing or a lack-of-caring thing? For the first time, I won't just say I'm happy enough with the network, but now I'd fully recommend it. With NXT and the introduction of Nitro, TNT, and Primetime, it officially has stuff I will watch on a consistent basis.
ReplyDeleteIt's not a literally travel. It's just a way of saying their fans are everywhere. Total hyperbole.
ReplyDeleteI had it. Decided not to renew. Honestly, just waiting for the rumble again to have 9.99 more on hand. Lots of 9.99 being thrown around that was an easy 9.99 to cut.
ReplyDeleteRadio Shack commercial with Weird Al. Great stuff!
ReplyDeletelol, okay. Gotcha.
ReplyDeleteEdelman is carving up the Dolphins
ReplyDeleteHe who is tired of Weird Al is tired of life.
ReplyDeleteAh. I know a couple of years back there was talk of oil & gas work by the Tanger Outlets near Canonsburg.
ReplyDeleteFinally watched the Heyman doc on the Network, was that always the origin of Farva's "petulant child" or was Steph calling Paul that a weird case of coincidence?
ReplyDeleteWell, there goes that drive
ReplyDeleteBones, do you blast Renegade every Sunday morning?
ReplyDeleteI never come in the NFL thread because I don't watch NFL. I clicked today and it turns out it's being used as a regular daily thread of random stuff! I've been missing out!
ReplyDeleteGo to the indy show, piss off everyone around you by loudly watching TLC on your tablet
ReplyDeleteThat cute shit will not work in the NFL. Johnny Football is a child playing a man's game.
ReplyDeleteI try to drag these threads as far away form football as possible.
ReplyDeleteBecause footballs hilariously awful and anything is better.
Starting up Bill Burr's Netflix special atm.
My randon Netflix pick is this Trailer Park Boys thing that I've never heard of until now, but there's a TON of it on here.
ReplyDeleteYes...and odds are I'm not wearing pants.
ReplyDeleteHe just needs a Snickers.
ReplyDeleteYeah, those guys are um....I don't know, I respect the effort but I don't find any of it very funny.
ReplyDeleteBut yeah, they crank out Netflix specials like every two months, those guys are serious content creators.
I'll pay for Rumble and Mania, but I just don't have enough spare time to sit around and watch the network. I'm just an old man. An old cranky man who wants to be left alone with his VHS tapes with original music instead of the damn music edits they do. I just don't need it in my life. 9.99
ReplyDeleteOh bullshit...that was not a block in the back....
ReplyDeleteGood refs got it right
ReplyDeleteThis pilot is mildly amusing, but I can't help but feel that if a comedy show that started in I think 2001 was any good, I'd have heard of it before it just appeared on here. I'm not omnipresent, but I'm sure I'd know of it.
ReplyDeleteYeah, you can count on us to go off topic and rarely focus.
ReplyDeleteRunning the option. HAHA!!! I LOVE IT MAAAAAAGLLE!!!!
ReplyDeleteBasically that's my thinking, if this stuff was so hilarious it would've taken less than 200 specials for it to make it to my sphere of observation.
ReplyDeleteI think it's one of those shows I would've really liked when I was stoned every day in college, these days, not so much.
I like that, over the last year or two, our compulsion to go off topic has actually rid us of many of the more annoying posters.
ReplyDeleteAndy Dalton: King of the Overthrow
ReplyDeleteTons of special teams and defense scores already today
ReplyDeleteWow I must be getting old because I could have fucking sworn Cole somehow won that match at WrestleMania 27. Did they reverse it on raw or something?
ReplyDeleteI knew I should have started Eli over Flacco.
ReplyDeleteAs a "replacement" for the U.S. Title, it's easy cheap heat.
ReplyDeleteThey reversed it on Mania didn't they? :/
ReplyDeleteI DVR the games for like 45 mins to hour to duck commercials and I figured I wouldn't come here because of spoilers and then I did one time and I realized very quickly there wouldn't be that many football spoilers here.
ReplyDeleteYeah, reverse decision after the match. Lawler got the 1-2-3, Cole got the win.
ReplyDeleteDo they? Because King is having like a 10 minute victory celebration
ReplyDeleteWeird Al and Shauna Malwae-Tweep is a match made in my nerd version of heaven.
ReplyDeleteLol ok NM there's the GM sound effect
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think we're starting to get a pretty agreeable group here. As long as we don't have the following, then I'm happy: 1. People trying to teach us how to properly be a fan and how/when/if we should complain. 2. Anyone trying to intentionally piss someone off. It's a goddamned wrestling blog, not a place to troll, start flame wars, or exact vendettas.
ReplyDelete3. People that think posting here is somehow a step into a writing career.
ReplyDeleteGosh she's pretty.
ReplyDeleteYup I just saw it. Kings victory celebration went on so long and had Austin beer toasting and Booker T doing a spinarooni so I figured the match was just over. I really didn't remember anything about this.
ReplyDeleteIt's one of the few times they gave Jerry Lawler the JR treatment. Everyone pretty much agreed that he should have given Cole the Kaufman treatment or battled Swagger. Instead, we got that abomination.
ReplyDelete...all because Jerry made it known that he hadn't wrestled at Wrestlemania yet in his long career and wanted to do it
ReplyDeleteThat, too.
ReplyDeleteI definitely didn't know the Punk vs Orton match was that good at WM27. That is a really awesome match with basically everything you would want in a match. It's a shame they didn't another 5-10 minutes. I think you could have safely shaved 5 minutes off the Cole vs Lawler stuff anyways.
ReplyDeleteNot a good start for Johnny football. Last drop wasn't his fault but still.
ReplyDeleteIt should have been a shot for shot remake of the Kaufman match, but Jerry would get the pin. Then King and JR can call the rest of the show.
ReplyDeleteWillie Gay did something besides getting burned??? What??
ReplyDeleteJohnny Football is a child out there.
ReplyDeleteI been telling ya. Orton and Punk. So underrated.
ReplyDeleteI thought he had actually won the match because he got such a huge celebration. I figured that had to be it. But that actually makes a lot of sense to me now that you mention it was his one chance to have something at wrestlemania. Still what a lame ass fucking way for Lawler to get on a WrestleMania. They should have just put the title on Cena or Orton before WM via Kings interference and blown that stupid feud off at the show. IMO that alone would have made the show way better because it would at least trade off two bad matches for one.
ReplyDelete'Ol Billy Baldspot looks terrible in black and white.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe he's just really bald now, I guess I haven't seen him in person since the last appearance in Breaking Bad.
Just finished the first episode, I laughed a few times. It's alright. I'll keep at it for a bit.
ReplyDeleteI find the supporting cast to be much funnier than any of the three. The property manager and his weird gay live in house boy are particularly funny.
ReplyDeleteBills D putting it on Rodgers in the 1st.
ReplyDelete**** match in my opinion. Fucking crazy story telling with Orton selling the knee like steamboat and Punk with awesome facial stuff, and then the actual match itself, so awesome. There is a spot they do to set up ortons 2nd rope ddt that is probably the coolest way to ever set that up, and the fucking RKO they do at the end with Punk diving at orton was as good as it gets. Honestly if just needed more time. I remember it being good but this was the first time I've seen these matches in awhile and WOW that was better than I remember.
ReplyDelete... and now Bills Special Teams putting it on Green Bay! TOUCHDOWN BILLS on the punt return!
ReplyDeleteI guess you could say it's a total fucking power move to treat Lawler that way. Power. Move.
ReplyDeleteSpecial Team and defensive scores everywhere (6 of 9 today so far)
ReplyDeleteThey aren't as unbeatable as people are trying to make then out to be. Any given Sunday. I don't see them getting through the NFC.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that was a good place to escape and keep his eye downfield but Hawkins didn't help him out
ReplyDeleteWhen I play fantasy next year, it's going to be based on total points and not head to head. I'm tired of losing 130-120 while someone else scores 85 points and wins.
ReplyDeleteBrowns run defense ftl
ReplyDeleteThere's definitely weaknesses, but Rodgers has been damn near flawless this year. Great decision making, protects the ball, doesn't turn it over, and can run and slide.
ReplyDeleteI played in a 12 team league where the top 6 make the playoffs. The guy with the 3rd most points actually finished in 8th place and had the most points scored against him in the league by over 100 total.
ReplyDeleteThat's not how games work. Sometimes your good game isn't good enough. That's life. You don't just change all the rules to get your way. You nut up and take your L like an adult.
ReplyDeleteDear Browns fans : SAME OLD SHIT SAME OLD SHIT
ReplyDeleteThey can't do shit against Seattle - even in GB - and the Cards would be tough, too.
ReplyDeleteHard luck loser. Better luck next year, bubba.
ReplyDeleteI agree, head to head is the only way to go.It's also more fun.
ReplyDeleteEddie Lacy going full Beast Mode now...
ReplyDeleteIt's Cleveland. All they do is suck.
ReplyDeleteWith total points, you're not really competing against anyone, you're just stacking points. Seems less fun.
ReplyDeleteNow my team, The Second Mile Kids, is in a tough battle in the semi finals this week. Not looking good for me because one of my best players played Thursday and sucked already.
ReplyDeleteRodgers is great. I don't believe in Lacey at all. Or that defense. I just don't see them running through the playoffs.
ReplyDeleteWere you in my league? Happens every season, I take a point of pride in points scored when that happens.
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty much what happened to me.
ReplyDeleteIt's completely devoid of fun. It's anti fun. It's robotic and completely without love or appreciation of sport.
ReplyDeleteSo... 3 straight weeks of no Bears game on a Sunday. That usually happens at playoff time, not in the regular season. Weird. Go Pack Go
ReplyDeleteYou have a pick in the NFC that can?
ReplyDeleteYeah its a rough one. I actually played his team in the last week of our regular season, and I started Tre Mason against him, and Tre Mason scored 41 points lol.
ReplyDeleteLook at the baby cry! Someone get him a bottle! Cutler has to worry about his diva title being taken by Johnny Football.
ReplyDeleteSeattle, Cardinals, Cowboys, Eagles. Any given Sunday. That's the NFL.
ReplyDeletePats D and special teams bailing them out today
ReplyDeleteIs he throwing a tantrum? I don't have the game on right now. I may have to stream it.
ReplyDeleteJust going to check out the Heyman doc. Ouch Browns lol
ReplyDeleteHe threw s tantrum after an illegal man downfield penalty. It was so bad the slingshot fell out of his back pocket. Aye Caramba!
ReplyDeleteJust watched it last night, great stuff.
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL!!! What a GREAT Sunday! Fuck Johnny Football! Fuck Cleveland!
ReplyDeleteManziel doing a great Ruby Rhod impression because he looks super green out there
ReplyDeleteThat escalated quickly lol.
ReplyDeleteTampa is hot, fat dirty ass. That is all.
ReplyDeleteOh bullshit...can't hit fucking quarterbacks at all.
ReplyDeleteGood ol Lovie. He runs a tight ship.
ReplyDeleteIn my stupid league (12 players, no trades), I am 4th in scoring, and 4th least points give up. 6-8, 9th overall.
ReplyDeleteVery angry.
She is. I can see why Mark Brandanawicz hit that.
ReplyDeleteYour guys better raze the Shitty Falcons to the gorram ground today. Show no mercy!
ReplyDeleteThe dumbed down offense for this vanilla midget is completely ridiculous. It's a complete farce.
ReplyDeleteRyan got stuck with a good, solid hit...no helmet to helmet...flag. He got hit too hard.
ReplyDeleteThe fantasy lesson I may learn this week; Live by Tre Mason, Die by Tre Mason
ReplyDeleteNot to have played anyone besides kickers in a matchup between two atrocious offenses and two good defenses?
ReplyDeleteOkay, I live in OKC at the moment. Why can I see the Browns-Bengals, and why can I see them on Fox (the NFC channel)?
ReplyDeleteFucking Brandon Browner.
ReplyDeleteGaming with friends right now...
ReplyDeletePass interference?
And I'm not sure...how confident would you be in labelling the Johnny Football experiment a failure after one half? 70%? 73%? He looks lost and incompetent out there
ReplyDeleteFox has a flex afc game, like cbs has a flex nfc game. As for your second question...
ReplyDeletehttp://deadspin.com/heres-what-the-johnny-manziel-effect-looks-like-for-fox-1670146808
Hoping for just one thing today in this Bills/Packers game... for Ha Ha Clinton Dix to tackle Boobie Dixon.
ReplyDeleteSomebody give him a Snickers. Or tell him this is a party.
ReplyDeleteYes. 2nd penalty already
ReplyDelete0%. He's learning a complicated offense on the fly against a good defense with a banged-up line.
ReplyDeleteI honestly had no idea about the conference flex games. Is this a recent thing?
ReplyDeleteTo be fair, Manziel hasn't allowed 13 first downs for the Bengals and 100 yards already for Hill.
ReplyDeleteThere's a pick from Manziel. Lol.
ReplyDeleteI can't remember....I think so
ReplyDelete2/4 - 1 yard, interception
ReplyDeleteDat Johnny Football
Yeah, but I'm still seeing a 0 on the Browns side of things. We'll see, but like I said, he looks lost.
ReplyDeleteit is. It came on the heels of the agreement that allowed NBC to move games from the day to the evening during the 2nd half of the season for better matchups. Obviously Fox and CBS wanted something in return and more flexibility.
ReplyDeleteWe may see the first negative QBS rating in history today.
ReplyDelete8.3 and falling
ReplyDeletewatched it last night. Very interesting, although I would have loved to hear more about his WCW days. Stephanie McMahon sure danced around the fact that she said insulting things to Paul and then was told to fuck off after she tried to tell Paul no and he reminded her that HER FATHER had already said yes. She proceeded to have a tantrum and Paul was sent to OVW. Also glossed over the story of his departure from ECW which also involved a tantrum, this time from Vince where Vince, in front of several office folks and writers shouted over and over, "Get this through your head, I only care about Bobby Lashley!!! Lashley, Lashley, Lashley." Soon after Paul was fired for trying to get other people over and for being correct about how bad the ppv was going to be and was (apparently Vince thought it December to Dismember was just ducky until he started reading reviews online).
ReplyDeleteBut overall highly interesting. It paints a picture of a smart man. A driven man. A flawed man.
Classic Bungles discipline on display
ReplyDeleteI'm already livid beyond words that Stephanie is even in the damn thing.
ReplyDeleteThe only way the browns can get a first down is of the Bengals fuck up.
ReplyDeleteNice to see the referees sucking Lovie's hose. Five Bucs dive bombing poor Derek Anderson after his slide comes to a stop.
ReplyDelete2And pick for Manziel. LOL
ReplyDeleteAnother Johnny pick. May come back but still. YIKES, this couldn't have gone any worse.
ReplyDeleteAnd the guy who taunted him, picks him off in the next play.
ReplyDeleteLOLOLOLOLOL
Bailed the fuck out
ReplyDeletewell seeing as how it's an invented game with a variety of rules, what you do is find a league that fits what you like. I've done both and won a total points league. It was perfectly enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteOh fuck you Cincinnati for robbing us of that pick.
ReplyDeleteUsual Mauluaga idiocy. I don't know how coaches tolerate third down taunting.
ReplyDeleteAlso, is Manziel under the impression that his receivers are 6'5"?
I just want Cleveland to score here. Our market doesn't have another morning game so I'd be out of football for a couple hours if Cincy buries them here.
ReplyDeleteI mean, Mike Evans was and he seemed to throw to him 90% of the time in college so...
ReplyDeleteWow. It wasn't Manziel's fault, 100%, but he threw a five yard pass high and like it had to go 20 yards with its velocity. But saved by a dumb penalty
ReplyDeleteThe announcers saying that the receivers have to catch these balls is ridiculous. Get those guys some ladders or chairs or stairs of you want them to make these catches
ReplyDelete
