Anybody have the fever yet? I'm looking forward to the Steelers as usual, but even more since some of the cancer has been eradicated from the locker room. If they don't make the playoffs again, I still think Tomlin should be fired. I could give a damn about his overall winning percentage. McCarthy from Green Bay got fired and there isn't too much of a difference in their respective stats as coaches.
Hope springs eternal.
Go Jaguars. Duuuuuvaaaaal.
Oliver Luck runs the XFL. Will Andrew turn up there to help his father?
I'm kinda hoping that he puts his education to good use.
Fire Tomlin? Are you mad? 1st world problems bro..... 1st world problems.
Look at this neck beard we have - wanna trade?

Andrew Luck story is kind of sad. Great QB (a regular pick on my fantasy league) but the last few years there was a never ending injury, rehab, re-injure. That can be so demoralizing.
There was this guy (I think some radio host) who was critical of Luck in retiring and it was great that normally mild manner Troy Aikman ripped that guy apart
Glad to see the Raid-uhs are still the Raid-uhs.
In the aftermath of the very predictable Antonio Brown mess, one local sports columnist had this to say: ''In the last 372 days, Gruden has traded away a generational talent in Khalil Mack and a stud wide receiver in Amari Cooper, a second-round pick, two third-round picks, and a fifth-round pick. In return, he has only rookies Josh Jacobs and Johnathan Abrams and one first-round pick. That’s horrific general managing.''
The good news is they still have 8 seasons to go after this one on Jon Gruden's 10 year $100 million contract. You know what they say in Raiderland, ''Just Win, Baby''.
That last game tonight was ugly. Poor Steelers. What a way to start your season. The Patriots look absolutely unstoppable. Collinsworth made an insightful remark. Did Antonio Brown watch this game and wonder "why do they even need me?" Nah. Considering NFL egos I doubt it
After game one, who Tanks for Tua?
@TigerLily That game was painful for me to watch. I really thought the Steelers would finally win at New England. The Patriots just picked them apart as usual. *sigh* :-\

2 things:
1) I hope the Chargers go 0 for the next 15. On a related note, I hope Melvin Gordon gets traded to a good team.
2) I am suspicious of the Patriots and this Antonio Brown thing. The Patriots are known cheaters in many different ways. I hope somebody slipped up along the way and that the league catches them. Brown was a whiny little bitch in Pittsburgh and Oakland, if he suddenly becomes an altar boy in New England, may his ACL be ripped to shreds and his contract void 👿👿👿
Rant over, soapbox surrendered, I still hate the NFL and revel in its empty seats problem.
OMG. Just finished watching the Saints/Texans game. Just how awesome was that? Dynamic teams both. And even a WWE body slam thrown in for extra entertainment value. Now that was football. I'm a happy girl 😺
I have to give some good credit for that new MNF commentator Booger McFarland who quickly pointed out that the Texans defense was defending the long (TD) pass when in reality the Saints only needed about 10 or so yards to get a FG.
I normally don't cheer the Raiders but I made an exception this week because of the Brown situation plus my fantasy opponent had the Broncos (Broncos crapping the bed gave me the WIN for the week)
Glad to see GB win in Chicago but the Jets are the Jets and giving up 17 straight points and 14 in the 4th quarter is such a Jets thing to do. Did the Browns just come down to reality? Are the Ravens that good or the Dolphins that bad?
... new MNF commentator Booger McFarland...
Several years ago I was driving at night and there wasn't a thing on the radio, so I ended up listening to a San Jose St game on, I think, ESPN network.
I remember some lady was on the announcing team, and her voice was just godawful. Really grating and obnoxious. I don't really watch sports anymore, and hadn't seen a MNF game in quite some time, but one night a year or two ago I was flipping around the channels and began watching one.
Holt shit, that voice. That lady was doing the Monday Night game. Hell, I remember when MNF was an EVENT - they usually had the best game every week, and had some pretty good announcers. But now...
I turned it off that night. I think her name turned out to be Doris something. Terrible.
Do you mean Beth Mowins? She’s terrible and seems to always use a mic bought at Woolworth’s for 99-cents.

... Speaking of Thursday, who would have guessed Caroline Panthers being 0-2 and losing both their home games. Crazy how they might be already out of it being in a tough division with Saints and Falcons, losing those early home games and to who people consider the weak link in the division in the Bucks.
... I bet the Browns would do better if they changed their team name. That's just a shitty name to be stuck with...
Welll... The Browns were named after their co-founder and first head coach, Paul Brown, a hall of famer and one of the most influential coaches in league history. From their inception in the 1940s up to the Super Bowl era, they were one of the most dominant teams in the league, with a ton of great players - starting with Jim Brown and Otto Graham. Many - if not most - of the great coaches over the years can trace their coaching linage back to Paul Brown.
There is a lot of history associated with that name, certainly for the Cleveland fans. So much so that when punk-ass owner at the time Art Modell moved the team to Baltimore in the mid-1990s (and changed the name to Ravens), the fans insisted on retaining the name and colors for a hoped for expansion team, which they received a few years after the original team left. I think they actually sued to keep the name, colors, etc, and claim the old Brown's history as part of the current team. They aren't going to change it.
I was just trying to be cute. As usual I was unsuccessful

The Niners are simply brilliant. Too bad they had to show that brilliance beating up on my Rams. But I'm happy they are still undefeated. Especially since Jimmy Loup-Garou is another Cute Guy Bowl alumnus. Well deserved I might add
@TigerLily congratulations on the Rams getting Jalen Ramsey. If you get the future Hall of Fame version, the trade will be well worth it. If you get the whiny little bitch version who wants to run out his contract and play for the Titans, then not so much.
How 'bout that front four? No doubt a fun flight back to SF.
Magically his back problems disappeared after a four hour plane flight.LOL ... The lad needed to go.

I have no idea how the Niners turned it around so fast, they were just 4-12 last season. The NFL West is a beast of a division.
The Steelers vs. Browns on Thursday night ~ What a shit show. And then the game ended like this:
The Steelers vs. Browns on Thursday night ~ What a shit show. And then the game ended like this:
I've wondered sometimes why certain violent, vicious, intentional acts on the playing field aren't considered crimes - with the player arrested and prosecuted. There are plenty of police on the field and around the stadium at every game.
That is actually coming up in a couple of articles I read this morning. One reporter asked the Cleveland police about it, and their response was 'no comment', other than the QB Rudolph hasn't filed charges.
So two questions: 1) since when do the police need a formal complaint before arresting a suspect, when the crime is committed right in front of them, and 2) will Rudolph file charges?
(My expectation is Rudolph will either blow it off as 'in the past and we're focusing on our next game' or 'the league is handling it', and won't want to have the rep around the league as the one that did so. Same with his agent - he'd still get the blame. The team should file charges, or publicly insist that he does if it needs to be him)
Before that, during the game TWO Steeler's receivers were knocked out of the game with concussions. Two. I'm not sure how that happens, since hitting an opponent in the head is also illegal in the NFL. And usually another crime as well.
This all goes back to coaching. This POS Browns coach should be investigated by the NFL, and fired. And arrested. He won't be though, look how long Pete Carroll has been a head coach in college and the NFL - coaching his players to do much the same.
I've never even heard of this Browns coach, it struck me as odd the first thing I heard him say in his post game interview was he didn't coach this stuff. Kind of a strange thing to say right off the bat, unless he actually does coach this stuff.
@PB I saw that Rudolph's legal team is "looking into it" but I don't think anything can be done. The NFL governs itself and the rule book is full of violations. Using a helmet in the way it was used Thursday is one of them. So, when you're in that league there is an understanding that there will be penalties dished out by the league for this behavior, and not law enforcement.
Some other sports can bring the legal process into it. I recall a few players in the NHL having criminal chargers filed against them while on the ice. The happened in Canada though and I think it's part of their law system that sports teams aren't exempt. What comes to mind is when Marty McSorley hit Donald Brashear in the head with his stick. He was charged and received probation (18 months I think) in addition to what the league doled out.
@PB
... The league has more rules about this than ever yet these players just continue to do what they want. There needs to be more extreme penalties...like the one Garrett just got. Suspended indefinitely with no pay.
The Steelers vs. Browns on Thursday night ~ What a shit show. And then the game ended like this:
... But Rudolph was a bit of a bitch here with going after the the helmet first, kicking him in the balls, and after the Steelers big dudes were controlling the situation a helmet-less Rudolph came in looking to swing...
Oof. That was nasty. The Rams have one exceptional talent this season. Making the other team look good. And help make superstars of the quarterbacks. First Wilson, then Garapollo, now Jackson. Notice how every team that loses the Super Bowl has a bad next season? Except the Patriots who have obviously made a pact with the devil@TigerLily,
Respect to Lamar Jackson. He is amazing
@TigerLily,
The SDUT had an interesting story in the sports section. If the Seahawks go on to win the super bowl, a San Diego State Aztec player will be a part of the team, a big part. Just like the World Series champions an NBA champions both had San Diego State Aztecs as key players.

Super Bowl preview Sunday?
The Rams picked a really bad season to fuck up.
With the chargers sucking as they do, two poor teams in Los Angeles ain't helping nobody...
I just wish the Raiders were doing better, I like their business move of leaving California. Each one of those players will be making more money because now eight of their games will be outside of one of the worst taxed states for athletes.
Anyway, I have become much more of a high school and college football fan now. The NFL has alienated me heavily.
Once again, the Jaguars play that damned London game and by the time they play another home game, a full month after the last one, the season is gone. Again, a November wipe out on the road.
Can you believe the trickery in this play?
@KSMVideo Unavailable. So I'll play it safe and second what PB said.
Can you believe the trickery in this play?
Were the Eagles out of timeouts? If not they needed to call one seeing Miami line up like that.
Also, seeing where the K lined up (not somewhere out of danger), shouldn't someone have kept an eye on him?
Also, what are the rules here, doesn't the offense have to have 5 down linemen? Other than the C I didn't see even one down and set
I didn’t watch the game. Just saw the highlights.
There doesn’t have to be any down lineman but you do need 5 people on the line wearing numbers between 50-79.
I was shocked that they would waste a play like this during a rather dismal season. I guess when you are 2 and 9 you don’t have anything to lose, so they decided to play the spoiler?
I see a QB in Dak that is consistently under-performing.
Who knows what he's really got.
I go with what I see, and not what might be.
The same was said of Tony Romo. I am not a Cowboys fan at all, but you have to start wondering is it the QB or something to do with upper management
On a side note I have Dak as my starting QB in fantasy, so this week didn't start out to well.
Just started the Bears/Packers game. These are the two teams that keep surprising me. Bears with how good they are playing. Packers just the opposite. Cold there 18°@Sugarplum Lily you yell at the TV? Betcha do 8)

F the Raiders and their fans, good riddance. The real shame is the criminals aren't moving to Las Vegas with them

Hmmm...My initial gut feeling tells me it'll be a Ravens v. Saints Super Bowl. Winner: Ravens
That was a barn burner of a final game of the regular season last night. Right down to the last second. I'm really happy for the Niners. Especially since my Rams washed out 😿
Hmmm...My initial gut feeling tells me it'll be a Ravens v. Saints Super Bowl. Winner: Ravens
Maybe. If the Saints play SF or GB, or both, it would be on the road.
Drew Brees' playoff record with the Saints is 7-1 at home, 1-5 on the road
Odds are against Brees then. I'll stand by my pick though. I think GB is highly overrated regardless of record. SF hasn't been as dynamic as they were earlier. Their defense has shown signs of fatigue as the weeks went by. However, I'd pick them over GB to make it.
We shall see. ;) :D
Jacksonville is aflame as owner Shad Khan announces GM Dave Caldwell (36-76) and head coach Doug Marone (22-28) will be back next year. Of course Khan’s record as an owner is 38-90.
@juan I saw that and couldn't stop shaking my head. Marrone is AWFUL. I guess Khan wants to maintain "stability" to get leverage for a move to London. ;DThat’s the rumor all over town.
Was it me or were those two weird games tonight? Really good but weird. Sometimes it seems like the wild card games are really lopsided scores. But both of these were close right to the lastDefinitely weird. I almost always feel like Brady will pull it off with the game on the line, tonight that was not the case. In the first game Deshaun Watson made some amazing,physics defying plays.

Derrick Henry is an amazing person. He’s from this area, so I began watching him when he was in the 8th grade. He carried the ball constantly in high school and just ran over the other kids. He got a bit of a break at Alabama where he paired with other backs, and now he’s a major offensive weapon with the Titans. He had 303 carries In the regular season - the most in the league - and 34 more last night. I wonder how many he has left.
I'm disappointed about the Saints being out. I was looking forward to a Saints-Ravens super bowl. @ShayP . You promised! 😿
#HopesDashed
I can't wait for Pete Carroll's cheap shot crew to lose in Green Bay, I'm not sure PI on every pass play is tolerated there.
I can't stand Pete Carroll. I have this irrational desire to punch him in his gum chewing face.

Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson, two of my favorite quarterbacks. (Big Ben too but he's out of the picture, of course.) If the Packers can protect Aaron, then they will probably win the game. If the Seahawks sack him a number of times though, then he will get rattled and won't be worth much. Russell on the other hand, doesn't seem to mind the occasional sack and he tends to get better as the game progresses. Should be an interesting game. I like both teams, so I won't be disappointed by whoever wins.

Shit! It's halftime and the Ravens are losing. ???
Titans 14
Ravens 6
I'm so happy to see 3 of the teams I hate the most either not make the playoffs or get eliminated.
1. Cowboys
2. Ravens
3. Patriots
Hate 'em in that order! >:( :D
Don't like the Seahawks or Packers either. :P They are not on the level of those top 3 though. ;)
I will never, ever understand why the Bears traded up to draft Mitch Trubisky in the first round. Pretty obvious no one else was going to pick him that high. And they passed up Mahones and Watson, both who just battled it out in the playoffs.Yes, agreed. Pretty amazing how much they traded to move up one spot. They literally in hindsight could have traded down to acquire extra picks and still picked one of the better QBs. I really don't know what Pace saw in Trubisky that apparently no one else did.
Go Pack!
Holy crap. Hi @WhiteCrow
I see Falkie needs some money for cat food.. I feel terrible that I forgot to include Falkie's kitty kats on my Christmas donations/grifts list.

Have they found a way to make this sport entertaining yet?
Funny you should ask, during the offseason the rules committee is going to study replacing the end zones with tiny nets and goalies so no one ever scores. They'll call it sockey

Saw my first Nevada Raiders license plate today. Good riddance.
Too bad their fans don't all move with them.
You wouldn't believe how many people I hear in Virginia that are hyped about the Raiders in Las Vegas. I guess it will be the new "bandwagon" team. :P I guess some are sick of the Redskins. God this state sucks when it comes to sports fans. ::)
I don't think Nevada has a state income tax, which would be very appealing to players, especially free agents.
With their poor personnel and head coach decisions, I envision them loading up with huge contracts for over-the-hill players. First up, Tom Brady?
... I envision them loading up with huge contracts for over-the-hill players. First up, Tom Brady?
Carr would have to be benched or traded, etc. BUT! Signing Brady would rake in more cash. I don't see Brady leaving NE though. Who knows any more? It could happen.
Saw my first Nevada Raiders license plate today. Good riddance.
There are a bunch of free agent QBs this year. Brady, Brees, Tannehill, Winston. Marriota, Rivers and I am probably forgetting a couple. You know that the Bengals are going to for that kid from LSU but there is a lot of talent on the market this year.
Maybe the Bears could get a QB.
An absolute ton. Add Bridgewater, Dalton, Eli, Cam, I think Flacco and Foles, probably more. It's going to be fun
Oh yeah. Kapernick
Being in a state without income tax certainly has its benefits but some, if not all, states that have a state tax collect that for games played in their state. California started that back in 1991. Cities like Philadelphia even charge their city tax.
I have a question about that.
When teams play in the Meadowlands in NJ, they pay tax to NJ, but NY isn't getting any of that, are they??
I'm torn. I should root for the homeboys and Gorgeous Jimmy G. But I love the Chiefs. They deserve the win. This puts me in an enviable position. Whoever wins, I'll be happy

I think the line is KC -1.5. I'm taking SF outright. I think they win. I think they run the ball down their throats and Garappolo has a very efficient game.

I've actually had one of these on draft, room temperature. In Boston, of course. After the first sip or two not bad. As one of my girlfriends said, "Guinness is like food." Okay. It was funny at the time. But I was halfway through my Guinness
You'll have to pick what kind. You know my aversion to that swill. ;) :D
What worries me about the 49ers is that player Raheem Mostert, who pretty much won their last game singlehandedly. Obviously, the Chiefs will try to contain his running game. If they succeed, then they will have a good chance of winning the game. If Mostert runs free, and can't be stopped, then the 49ers will probably win the Super Bowl. The trouble is, I've seen lots of running backs enter a SB game as heavy favorites to score, only to be shut down at the starting gate, so to speak. It is for this reason that I'm going to pick the Chiefs to win.
I don't know much about KC, but the 49ers are the local team. Here are a few things to watch for on offense.
Shanahan runs more plays with players in motion than any other team. Obviously to confuse the offense, and keep them off balance.
The FB, TEs, and WRs have all bought into them blocking with enthusiasm on running plays. A lot of teams don't even have a FB, and much of the time their running plays are on the opposite side of where the TE lines up. Look for beautiful blocking schemes on runs to the outside and downfield.
As an OC Shanahan used to sit in on meetings with the defense. He has a better idea than most offensive coaches of what each defensive player's assignment is for any given formation. He uses this information to confuse the defense, set up mismatches, and catch them out of position.
Shanahan has an ''inquisitive offense'' - he likes to set up and run plays to see how the defense reacts, then use the same formations later and run something completely different. All teams do this to some extent, Shanahan is the master of it.
Shanahan has a deep playbook. Dispatching the Vikings and Packers he used very little of it. Watch for reverses and all sorts of slick plays if he needs them.
That is a very nice rundown of what to look for during the game, PB. Even if SF's running game were to be shut down, Garoppolo can still be a top of the line passer.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on Tuesday defended the NFL's decision to refuse to approve an advertisement from American Veterans (AMVETS) that would have run in the Super Bowl program.

Well, I was kinda on track with my analysis and prediction. :-\ After the 3rd quarter ended I thought I could be there. Thankfully I didn't put money on it. Nonetheless it's the first Super Bowl that had a team or teams that I didn't hate so I'm fine with the winner. Their were no "villains" in this game. However I was sick of the Mahomes talk 24/7 all year, but that's the way it goes.

I recorded the game, and started watching about 2 hours after it started. I just don't want to sit thru commercials, ''analysis'', interviews, halftime, etc. It's great to just fast forward thru it
I stopped and watched enough of both of them to get a sense of the awfulness of it. When did this become what music is?
I agree. It was a great halftime show. In fact, I fell in love with Shakira and J-Lo. (I always fall in love with women who appear on the Super Bowl halftime show.)
lol. Grumpy Old Poops Awards. And PB pulls ahead with two posts....
And the first post, predicting it
You left out similar commentary on the Heather Wad thread
lol. Grumpy Old Poops Awards. And PB pulls ahead with two posts. Juan almost got a pass for the J. Lo on a pole comment. Almost

And a very Honorable Mention to Rikki for having a brain that isn't calcified :-*
I didn't care for the show because of the sexual objectification of women... I do recall it being bandied about that this would represent the "empowerment" of women...
I'm so confused. One day it's the first, another day it's the second.
I'm not sure if the feminists can't make up their minds (oh the irony), or if they want it both ways in order to beat up anyone they don't like, regardless

J-Lo is 50 and did the pole. Wasn’t Madonna about 50 when she almost fell a couple of times during her Super Bowl show? OK, I looked, she was 53.
For that matter, Shakira is nearly 45. I’m impressed by how in shape they are. It makes me want to get up and lift rather than sit here posting on ellgab.
About J-lo and Shakira, they aren't on the level of Prince, The Who, McCartney, etc - very few are - but at least they agreed to do the show.
The NFL had a problem this year trying to get a top level performer, because everyone was either oh so Woke in support of Kapernik, or afraid to show they weren't. At least these two had courage.
Of course the person that started all this, JZ, is very Woke, but not quite Woke enough to stay home - that would have been a personal inconvenience. So it's a bit of a high wire act
What the Super Bowl should consider is to drop all this and simply have a college marching band perform. It's one of the draws that sets college football apart, and something fans enjoy. Less of a headache and probably a lot cheaper
They just looked so sloppy. The entire thing is glitz and glamour. Get back to a band situation with real MUSIC and talent on display. And can we talk about the asses on those two hussies? The things they were wearing did ALL the work for them. Their glutes had zero definition just a sort of round mass. Not Ass! And even if their asses were fiiine I still don't want impressionable little girls and future fruits to be seeing (and hearing) that garbage.

This should put a smile on the face of @TigerLily
Gronk is unretiring.

Sounds shady, I will just start a homosexual rumor between these two now.
I heard through the grapevine that they turned down my recommendations of “The Beltway Bandits†and “Federal Deficitâ€.
The Navajo recommended “Washington Code Talkersâ€.
Someone already has that domain registered. Guess we will wait and see.

There really are too many teams in the NFL at this point. The way the game is played now, you really need a hyper talented QB and those guys don't grow on trees. Anyone excited about a Mitch Trubisky or a Tyrod Taylor at the helm? Ugh. The franchise located at Washington D.C. should be contracted for extreme, extended racism - moving to a cartoon dog or whatever will not address that injustice. To balance things a bit, the franchise located in Detroit, Michigan should also be contracted. Just out of plain mercy. See how that goes and maybe fold two franchises a year until three divisions of 4 teams each in both conferences is reached.
We tried to do away with the Raiders, but they keep moving away instead..
The Washington Unnameds have now been accused of sexual harassment by 15 female former employees.
Washington Harassers
D. C. Assholes

Wow, a bunch of football players and ex-players? I'm stunned.
Maybe they will go with Red Tails, aka the RA, aka the Red Ass. Or is that more of a baseball term?
If the owner wanted to have some fun with it, he could rename them the Bullets
I had no idea the NFL was starting up this week. I knew they were practicing and so on, but never really thought much about it.
Are they going to take their cue from the NBA, and take the sport over the cliff? Probably, given the reverence they're now showing to St. Colon. If any of that is a major theme this year, bye-bye ratings.
This is what I see trending:

Gronk finally caught a pass.
God! I love football!
I've decided to stretch my NFL boycott to it's 5th year. A quick look at the box scores validate the soundness of this decision. The Lions were carved up by Mitch Trubisky of all QB's today - leading to a 4th quarter collapse. At one time that might have kicked up some stomach acid but now?

You do not want to watch losers yet almost everyone you watch on YouTube is a loser.
YOU ARE A RIDDLE!

Every game I watch I cheer on my favorite team. Pittsburgh and Minnesota? Pittsburgh! Pittsburgh and New Orleans? New Orleans! 49ers and Rams? Either! Chargers and Whoever? Whoever! Learned from years of living in San Diego
Zen and the art of football watching
I don't love the game enough to watch Pittsburgh and Minnesota and am not geared that way in any event. People here in the Triangle will be passionate UNC-Chapel Hill basketball fans but if UNC gets knocked out of the NCAA tournament they will turn right around and pull for Duke. Just always floored me. I pull for my squad all others can burn in hell. ;)
Everyone is different and I'm glad you have a hobby you can enjoy. Hopefully the season doesn't get wrecked by the virus.

Can't go wrong with Pittsburgh. ;) @TigerLily Glad to see you around again! :)
Were there any microaggressions or systematic racism on the field?

The part where Mahomes snaps his head to look in a different section of the stadium, completely baffled that the fans are booing (at :08 seconds into the video).
The team no doubt talked about what they'd do for weeks leading up to the game, and not one person suggested the fans might not like it.
I was happy to see that Cam Newton and Aaron Rodgers both had good games in week 1. It will be interesting to see how they do if both of them remain healthy. My inner demon always hopes that Heisman trophy winners will get smeared in their opening games, but I'm pleased to note that the quarterback for the Bengals did pretty good. He lost the game yes, but he did perform well, all in all. My demon has retreated back into the subconsciousness for another year.
