Oh heck yes - the waiting for when Lamar Jackson gets some game play will be delicious!
Word on NFL Network has it your Stillas will lock Leveon in to a long term deal real soon.
Yay or nay?
A big NAY.
So ya think franchise tag again then, dang...he's gonna be pissed as Hell!
Guess we'll see if Conner is all that. :o
Oh..and...GO CARDS!

...still smarting from how Harrison did us...
:(
So, you're a Cardinals fan?
Probably. I hope they get an out and can deal him or something. I'm fine with letting him walk. He is good but I'm sick of these guys overvaluing themselves. Plus there are the injuries and suspensions he's accrued. I don't trust him and I think we can win without him.
Are we going to have our annual NFL Pool? That's the only reason why I followed the NFL the last 3 years.
NFL. Meh. Another year of misery I expect. Last time our Detroit Lions were any good they looked like this:

Is one of those guys the great Joe Schmidt?
Regretably...yes...
He's really good and it's really tough to know when a great back is about to become an injured great back.
Stevan Ridley may have some gas left in the tank... :-\

i literally want to move from Philly during football season
So how far back do you go?
Jim Hart, Neil Lomax, Pat Tilley, OJ Anderson, Mel Gray, et al, ...or closer to this era?
Closer to this era - Neil Lomax, Jake the Snake, Timm Rosenbach, and a host of scrubs like Skelton, Logan Thomas and Kolb... :(
But yeah I followed the Cardiac Cards as a kid so a big Jim Hart, Mel Gray, Dan Dierdorf fan too.
i literally want to move from Philly during football season
Cool. :)
I kinda follow a lot of teams, Broncos are my AFC faves - but plenty of respect to Pittsburgh, an amazing run of HOF grade head coaches starting with Knoll.
The coaching is impressive. How many teams can say they only had 3 coaches in 49 years!?
Yep - world class.
And how many teams can integrate a hothead like Todd Haley into their offense and have it get even better.
Tomlin's one of those guys you'd love to play for.
As an aside, I like the Frank Reich hire in Indy. And I loved the Pederson pickup by the Iggles.
Your state has a real shot at an in-state Super Bowl in the next few years before Ben hangs it up.
Not sure about Mason Rudolph though, but he's got more upside than Landry Jones at least. Placeholder...
I agree with everything you just said. I do like Rudolph. I think he is the Eire apparent. I doubt Ben is there 2 years from now.
An Eagles V. Steelers would be awesome. I hate Philly. ;D
Well Ben has been dropping those hints...but...Rudolph reminds me a bit of Tim Couch.
Man. Don't say those kind of things. :'(
Man. Don't say those kind of things. :'(How about this, then. Week 11 8:20PM on NBC. Who else will need to borrow Bettis’ Inhaler?
You can read through the draft synopsis on him for the good traits; I'll just focus on a few of the negatives that may spell NFL level trouble ahead:

The season is almost here. 8)
The Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio is Thursday, August 2nd. Chicago Bears vs. Baltimore Ravens
Two weeks later the rest of the pre-season starts. Then...
September 6th will be the first regular season game and will feature the Falcons and Eagles.
Are you fans ready? :D
I am, and all I have to say is...

I'll go with his natural strengths. Those weaknesses seemed like a lot of nit-picking.
His weaknesses can be coached out of him and quite frankly he can make those adjustments on his own. To me he is an upgrade over Landry Jones and Josh Dobbs.
LOL! @ Jacksonville I see.
Blake Bortles is trash.
The Steelers won't allow Fournette's 3 TD's again and Ben won't throw 5 INT's. Damn that game pissed me off. >:(
TL!!! :-* Forgive me but I've forgotten your team. Probably for good reason. ;) ;D
TL!!! :-* Forgive me but I've forgotten your team. Probably for good reason. ;) ;D
Walter football always has some good insight as well.
Josh Hobbs perplexes me - I think maybe what I'm seeing is a lot of diverse athletic talent, a high intellect (aerospace degree), but low developmental coaching at Tennessee. Think Deshone Kizer and you have an idea of where his ceiling might be.
He is so due to come back into low earth orbit this year.
I mean this is a guy who functionally speaking had his year 2 breakout and has been tailing off since, imo.
We need to see a LOT more of TJ Watt and I bet we will.
Losing Shazier just carved a hole in your LBs.
Cheers Shay!! Prolly the Rams this year but I'm not so much into any special team. Too many years living in San Diego and with the constant disappointment. I go with whoever tickles my fancy on any particular Sunday
Rams. I can dig it. San Diego losing the Chargers was dumb. It may just be easier to root for the Steelers. It'll probably be for the best. You may feel better about things and have a new sense of confidence...not that you may be lacking. At least do it for the children. :D
I've always liked the Steelers from way back. I promise any time I'm watching a Steelers game I will root for them. No children will be harmed in my weekly picks
Walter football is good. I like OurLads too.
Your take on Dobbs is spot on. The guy is a brainiac. He has football skills. Kizer seems like a good comparison.
Shazier is huge. I expect the Steelers to a lot of sub packages with safeties galore. I like 'Dirty Red' (LB ~ Tyler Matakevich) simply because he is an excellent special teams guy who can fit in certain packages. Pure football player. I like his game. He just tackles everything he gets to. It'll be tough to make up for Shazier's absence but I'm not too worried. Gotta stop the run and these corners need to go after the ball.

(love this guy!)
Where did you get that pee chart?
I made it myself.
;D ;D ;D
I’ll tell what’s stupid. The rumors are that since Shad Kahn bought Wembly Stadium, the Jaguars will play half their home games there. That will destroy schedules and insure the team never signs a non-journeyman free agent again. Who wants that kind of travel? The players also have to pay London taxes - there are no local or state taxes in Jacksonville. Any drafted players will get out of the situation as soon as they become free agents. That will insure the team will suck, and a sucking half-season team will piss off Jacksonville fans, too. There’s already talk of a fan strike if the move occurs.
Supposedly the team makes more money in London because the stadium is bigger - 90,000. But Jacksonville’s stadium holds 85,000 for college games. Is it worth destroying the franchise for a season total of 20,000 seats?
The Bumper Tycoon says the rumors are not true. We’ll see.
We need to see a LOT more of TJ Watt and I bet we will.
I love T.J. and I hope he does come back, but the poor guy is so fragile, especially his legs. But, modern science...we can rebuild him... Here's hoping that he can return and make it through a season.
Are we going to have our annual NFL Pool? That's the only reason why I followed the NFL the last 3 years.
I think you are referring to J.J. ;)
I hope that there will be another pool. I would like to repeat winning the regular season picks again. What was my secret? A mixture of research (perusing injury lists and other boring stats) info received through my psychic senses (kind of cheating, I know, but what the hell.) and, literally, rolling five dice when two teams are evenly matched. Highest number wins.
Last year's playoffs started in and I decided to pick who I wanted to win. Got my ass handed to me in a handbasket.
Thanks Shay, I was. Must have had that store or restaurant in my head, lol. Edit: Oh wait a sec. I actually got the players mixed up. Anyway, hope they both do good this year.
I remember you carried first place for most of the season, last year. ;D
There's only 3 Watts in the NFL, but they make a lot of power!
(bad pun)
:-\
Last year's playoffs started in and I decided to pick who I wanted to win. Got my ass handed to me in a handbasket.
I don't know. I've seen the threads you've started and you are meticulous in you research. You strike me as someone exacting, with no room for error. I can only surmise that it wasn't a mix-up. Quite possibly a vitamin deficiency, however I doubt it. To get back on track I suggest rooting for the Pittsburgh Steelers this year. I'm confident you will be back at 100%. I mean...99% just won't do. :D
LOL! You still won overall! Did you ever get your mug?
Ha, I liked your pun, Metron. Didn't know about a third Watt, though. Thanks for the info.
Haha, I'll try my best, Shay. I feel real good about the Steelers. I'll be picking them without research, unless Big Ben goes down. What about San Francisco? That quarterback (whose name I forget, there goes my reputation for being meticulous in research ;D) won some good games near the end, last year. Might be a surprise, huh?

No, I got an online trophy that I made a copy of. Not sure if a mug was in the offering for the winner because it was never mentioned on the boy's show. Speaking of which, I do thank Curtis and Eddie for all the fun.
Jimmy Garappolo? So gorgeous. You may forget his name but not that face. I'm glad he's out of Tom Brady's shadow. And with both Tom and Gronk, already plenty of hotness in New England

I remember when he had that wreck. Any time I went through that intersection I thought about it.
Hey do you folks still do that Pittsburgh left thing? Wonder how many rookies get on the wrong side of that courtesy...
For the most part. If you're new to the area people will wave you over when the light changes or beep the horn. I think it's a dying practice though. Yinzers like me still do it.
"Yinzers"?
Explain please.
Yinz is a Pittsburgh expression. Sort of like "you guys" or "y'all"
hoping to see my Bucs get off to a fast start with Fitz and not have to go back to Winston
Your Bucs are doomed.
Three more days! Falcons v. Eagles
cmon Falcons!!!!!
I had second overall pick in my NFL draft and happily pick fantasy points monster Le'veon Bell. Leave twitter and look up my players and see he sitting out over a contract dispute and will probably be missing games. So that's starting out well :-\
Are we ready for some football?!? About damn time. Rough year. I think I might even have a beer tomorrow night to celebrate
And because I'm in a good mood, something for the boys
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
Oh yeah! 8) The Steelers defense scares me though. I think they could be giving up 30 a game. "A beer" TL? tsk tsk. Have at least 2. ;)

Yeah. You feel safe to encourage her. You are on the other side of the Mississippi.
I buy a six-pack of beer every two years for play offs and Super Bowl. I may drink the whole six pack this football season. Yes. Extraordinary times call for Extraordinary measures. btw: Modelo Negro. Just in case I come over to your house to watch a game
Ouch. Current word is he may hold out the season. I doubt it, but it is possible. Anyway, who's your #2 pick? This is the first year in a very long time where I haven't done any fantasy football.
Anyway, as a Steelers fan I hope he signs his tender, plays week 2 and puts up his typical numbers. Then again, I'd be fine with him just not playing at all. I'm sick of the drama.
Garbage game was garbage. Sloppy. Had turn it off at halftime.
Too bad. It got so much better
Awww would have been fun to do a football league here. but I am too lazy to start it up lol. I just joined a public one
I am in a 10 person league and my 2nd and 3rd pick is Keenan Allen-WR (Chargers) and Gronk -TE (Pats). Being 2nd overall in draft order I had to wait until 19th to get my second pick
You will like this. I have Big Ben as my QB (along with Matt Ryan from ATL, not sure who I am starting) and the Steelers kicker is one of my kickers (yes I selected 2 tickets which everybody thinks it's super strange)
But that first half was REALLY awful. It felt like preseason. I don't blame Taco in bailing. It did get better for the people who hanged in there, but wow it was a struggle early on :D
Great way to start the season. Rocky first half. How many fouls were there at the end of the 2nd quarter? But then it looked like real football. Nail biter to the last second. Literally. I'm a happy girl :)

Haven't watched much NFL the last few seasons - not since Calvin Johnson retired and the Lions wasted another fine player's career.
Debating if I should weaken. With a new coach there is new hope - no matter how small it maybe...................
I always wondered about Sanders and Johnson retiring so early. I was a fan of them both. They had plenty left in the tank. Did the franchise just suck the life out of them? LOL!
Yeah same with Billy Sims and Mel Farr and Alex Karras and Eddie Murray and Jason Hanson and Charlie Sanders and Dexter Bussey and Chris Spielman and Doug English and Lomas Brown and Lem Barney and well.............. You know.

No. How do you recover if you are Pittsburgh. Chicago hasn’t had a winning record in years.

I believed it. White Crow was at the game. I predicted a Rodgers comeback at halftime.
I am pretty sure the only reason he went to the locker room was to call his bookie.

MY Rams were beautiful tonight. Great first half for the Raiders. Chucky is going to have an awesome team. Sooner than later, methinks. I still have to go through adjustments seeing some of my favorite players in different jerseys. Marshawn was born to play in Raiders black. Literally. Geordie? Not so much. Still weird to see Aqib in Rams colors instead of Broncos. Suh may be necessary but imo is too mean a player to be with the Beach Boys
The Rams played great. With that said, keep them away from my Eagles please. :)
So I weakened and peaked at the Lions score. Detroit is getting crushed by the Jets. So. No more NFL this year it seems.
I'm good with that!
I would like to start a petition of no more Lions games on national TV. It's bad enough they are on every Thanksgiving with a Kid Rock cameo, that I end up wishing I could trade places with the turkey in the oven :o
Rams look really good. I think they might be Super Bowl ready.

Reports are Josh Gordon wants to play for Jacksonville. I’ll bet that after tomorrow, he’ll want to play anywhere.
Plus what the hell is with this 10-minute overtime, why would you remove 5-minutes? It only leaves a team with one possisiton if they don't win the coin toss.
When did Seattle get downgraded to mediocre?
I don't like it either. Isn't it if the team scores the first touchdown they win, and if you get just a field goal on the first possession the opposing team gets their shot? I just can't keep up with the NFL rule changes over the years.
A touchdown or a safety on the first possession and you win.

As for the leverage penalty, I think is that you are not allowed to use a player to boost yourself up to block a kick
Jets at Browns tonight, why is this game a national TV game. Not really sure ???
https://www.mywabashvalley.com/news/illegal-immigrant-sentenced-16-years-for-killing-colts-player/1464748155
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - A man from Guatemala living illegally in the U.S. was sentenced Friday to the maximum of 16 years in prison for a drunken-driving crash that killed Indianapolis Colts linebacker Edwin Jackson and his Uber driver.
Put this in the border thread or here? I don't know, did the Colts have any statements? Take a knee for the dead player and Uber driver? Do a put a number on uniform or anything? Free Uber for drunk fans after a game for memory? Inquiring minds want to know.
Thursday Night Football: Jets 17- Browns 21 - Jet's took a early 14 point lead, the receiver who caught the TD used the football as toilet paper and threw it to the Cleveland crowd. Browns QB gets hurt and their rookie QB comes in and lights it up and was part of a comeback win.
The Jets are my AFC team, but come on you are the freaking JETS. You have not earned any right to taunt anybody. Damn embarrassing.
Sunday night Football : Patriots (1-1) at Lions (0-2) - Another Lions national game lol. Who are these people that are demanding to see the Lions on a national level ;D
Matt Snell, Namath, Riggo, et al... :DBroadway Joe :) Love him or hate him, he brought the old AFL from second rate league to equality with the NFL...
Quite the game last night. Two dynamic old warriors as quarterbacks. And just when the game seemed locked up, the Journeyman Quarterback came roaring back. And finally a W for the Steelers, who of course I was rooting for. Cheers, Shay!
First thing most importantly I finally won a week of Fantasy League. ;D
The NFL has been really inconsistent this year. It must be a betters nightmare as a team can look great one week and awful the next.
With the exception of the Chiefs every team has looked great one week and awful the next. Heck even KC looked really bad in the first half of their MNF game with the Broncos
First thing most importantly I finally won a week of Fantasy League. ;DThe Chiefs looked good yesterday. The Jaguars had high hopes going into the game that they would win but the usually good defense had some lapses and the on and off offense was off for most of the game.

Owa Muh Gerd! Watta game! 54- 51!!! Shades of the next Super Bowl?
LA Together
Did either team's defense show up for the game?
Three touchdowns by the defense, iirc. Sorry I didn't check back @Kidnostad. I have now moved on to Sunday's football
You missed a hell of a college game last nite. LSU vs A&M. 7 OTs. Unbelievable.
In a city the size of Jacksonville, can’t somebody find a motorcycle and a 25-year old blonde to lure Bobby Petrino back as offensive coordinator?The Jaguars seem to be very good at finding ways to lose games. Now we have players not involved in a play running across the field to punch an opponent. Our season is over. Best to lose the rest of the games for a better draft pick. At least the Jacksonville Icemen hockey team is doing well :)
There is still a chance for an all LA Super Bowl
I am still shocked at the ending of the Bears game.
Yep. What a mortifying loss. I'm sure the Bears kicker is still kicking himself
They were jinxed as soon as @DaveSchrader picked them to win the Super Bowl.
Instant Karma! Rams and Saints. The better team won despite the big mouth fans. I'm not as angry as I was during the first half since my guys won. But seriously. I want to watch games where the players determine the outcome. Not a bunch of bystanders. And even worse that Sean Payton coached the fans to yell during the huddles. Shades of quarterback bounty-gate. I really like the Saints. And been a fan of Drew Brees since his San Diego days. I would have been totally fine if the Saints had won. In a fair game. Home field advantage is one thing but this is ridiculous. Like too many things the last few years, this is another case of partisanship taken to an ugly extremeI disliked those big mouth show off fans. The better team won.
Thus endeth the Rant of TigerLily. The Rams are going to the Super Bowl! Yeah, Baby! Sean McVay was so cute. Bradshaw just asked him about his birthday next week. He was so excited he couldn't even answer the question. Just started yelling "we're in the Super Bowl!"
Ok. Another bowl of veggie soup - I'm recovering from a deadly flu virus - then on to Kansas City
I disliked those big mouth show off fans. The better team won.
Hope you feel better soon. Did you get the flu shot this year?
Thanks FISH. I did get the flu shot. First time because I had that horrible influenza last year. I never thought the flu shots seemed particularly effective. I could be wrong. But it certainly didn't do anything for this nastiness.
LOL--naptha and turpentine have a long history.
You need to find the old Vicks vapo-rub that still has naptha and turpentine in it (look at estate sales ;) ) And wrap up, have a hot toddie, or a shot of brandy or some such, and then sleep in, and awake "all good." Chicken soup or etc ham, oxtail, etc (bone broth) are also good.
I had to take a long nap before the AFC game so I just finished it awhile ago. Another rock'em sock'em football game but I am a little disappointed. It's going to be a great Super Bowl but the Rams and Chiefs would have been really fun with the three puppies and one wily old dog. Maybe next year. I think we're seeing the beginning of two dynasties in LA and KC. At least I have two weeks to fully recover so I can enjoy the Big Game with a Modelo NegroIn two weeks time, you will be feeling so much better. Just in time for some Super Bowl hoopla. Past vs Future for this Super bowl game. The Patriots (13-5) are back for the third straight time — they lost to Philly last year. Back to the dog reference, Philly had the hungry dogs and won.
Thanks for the well wishes. I am beginning to crawl down the road to recovery. Sadly, (or thankfully) @albrecht , I don't have any old style VapoRub at hand. But sounds like something I might have in the garage to strip paint. I have found Chinese herbs to be really effective. Pe Min Kan Wan for the sinuses; Chuan Xin Lian for antiviral antibacterial; Honey Loquat Syrup for cough and sore throat. I usually keep them on hand during flu season. Usually. Of, course not this time. This nasty little bug hit really hard and fast but I believe I will live
Now let the Super Bowl hoopla begin!
The Super Bowl off week is the WORST. If feels so strange with a weekend with no football.
Totally agree. Then months and months before September. However shall we survive? :'(Bump +1 for "Go Rams! ;D
At least in another week I should be up for chips and salsa and Modelo Negro. That makes me thankful it's not tomorrow
Btw. Good to see you @Zetaspeak . Go Rams!
Bump +1 for "Go Rams! ;D
Baseball, Sister. I know, it's gentler, but just as competitive. Besides. It's better than nothing. ;)

I watched the last two Bills games and they look pretty good going into the playoffs. Of course if any opposing team wants to get the upper hand they will have to get to Josh Allen. All quarterbacks will get rattled if they are sacked three or four times in any given game.

@TigerLily
1. A Jets win meant my Jaguars move into the first draft pick slot.
2. A Rams loss meant their first round draft pick potentially comes earlier, and the Jaguars have that pick as a result of the Jaylen Ramsey trade.
It was a double win for the Jaguars.
Fans of the Jaguars are now signing up on a website to play for the team to ensure they lose the last two games.
https://www.bigcatcountry.com/2020/12/21/22174208/we-cant-let-the-jaguars-ruin-the-tank-heres-how-you-can-help-us-get-trevor-lawrence
1. Fermentation
The fermentation process is what causes the bread to grow and become fluffy. Ancient unfermented bread, which is consumed in some parts of the world today, was flat, like Oriental pita, Indian naan or Central American tortilla.
Most likely, the first fermented bread was also an accident. This is how the man discovered that the fermentation process changes the texture of the dough, the result being a lighter and more aerated bread. The commercial yeast production, the most widespread dyeing agent, dates from around 300 BC, from ancient Egypt.
2. The refined flour
In prehistory, the wheat was grounded by stone. This prehistoric flour resulted in a raw bread, from whole grains. A more sophisticated process of obtaining flour was thought by the Mesopotamians around 800 BC, they were learning a new method of grinding. Thus appeared the mill, the basis of flour production and nowadays. The resulting flour, whiter and finer, quickly became a symbol of higher status, and the desire to obtain the whitest and most refined bread continued until the modern era.
3. Mechanical slicing
For hundreds of years, the bread whether it’s baguettes or ciabatta was sold in large chunks to be cut at home. But in 1917, a jeweler named Otto Rohwedder created the first mechanical slicer of bread. Initially, the companies were convinced that the housewives would not be interested in buying bread already sliced, and Rohwedder’s car found its place in a bread factory only in 1928. The idea of ​​selling bread already sliced ​​proved to be a great success: in just two years, 90% of the bread sold in stores was sliced.
This evolution of the bread had led to the standard image of the modern world regarding the ideal bread: white, with a crunchy crust and a fluffy interior, cut into perfectly equal slices. In recent years, however, as specialists have shown that white bread is unhealthy (due to excessive grain refining), the consumption of whole-grain bread had spread significantly in Western societies.
Thus, if at the beginning of the twentieth century, for example, the rich ate white bread, and the poor black bread, considered inferior, today the situation is exactly the opposite: the poor eat white bread, while the middle and upper class prefer the whole bread.
Thus the saying, "Greatest thing since slice bread". Interesting societal comment. I, myself much prefer whole grain organic bread which of course now is much more expensive than a loaf of Wonder Bread. I believe you were slightly fermented yourself when you left this post, @Christmas Penis
That Pittsburgh Cincinnati game tonight. Ouch! Sorry @ShayP . An especially ugly first half. Reminded me of the Rams game yesterday. Hey @Christmas Penis . They have a wide receiver from BC on their team@TigerLily He, the BC boy isn't why they lost. Rotten game.

@TigerLily I didn't watch the game but I checked the half time score before I went to bed. I shook my head and chuckled. The Steelers started 11-0 and suddenly became a mess and lost 3 straight. They could easily lose the next 2 games too.
Hhhmmmm. Seems like a coaching issue. Time for a new head coach. It would seem that Neckbeard just happens to be available. We'll take Mr. Tomlin off your hands.

Hhhmmmm. Seems like a coaching issue. Time for a new head coach. It would seem that Neckbeard just happens to be available. We'll take Mr. Tomlin off your hands.

It is Honolulu Blue (https://encycolorpedia.com/006db0) to be precise. Well Mama Ford coughed up control of the team to her daughter. We'll see. Best outcome would be for an NFL contraction and the whole nightmare just goes away.
Don't say such things! @Walks_At_Night ;) I've always had a fondness for the Lions ever since they drafted Billy Sims. They do seem to have a curse on them. They had lot of talent over the years. It just seems there's always something missing though. Had a slew of shitty head coaches too. Who was the last decent one? Wayne Fontes?
Hahaha, gosh some of these players are stupid. What this guy can't waste his money fast enough, so he's putting the rest in Bitcoin? If this isn't a signal we're at the top of the Bitcoin market, I don't know what would be.

The Bills had another convincing win last Sunday night. Of course, they were playing the defunct Patriots so it was also an easy win. Got to see Belichick throw a phone down in disgust and that was fun. Then Newton got replaced with a backup quarterback, and here lies a great hypocrisy with professional football. Picture yourself being hired to back up a team's primary quarterback. You are payed millions to be ready to step in at a moments notice and yet, by and large, you aren't needed for an entire year, or years. Then, when the time finally comes, you enter the game and run plays right up the middle or throw short passes that rarely meet their mark. And yet millions of bucks will continue to come your way. Of course there are exceptions like Tony Romo, but somehow I get the impression that good backup quarterbacks are as rare as hen's teeth.
I never understood the digital currency thing at all. I still don't.
Spot on regarding backup QB's. Aside from exceptions like Tony Romo, there was also Tom Brady taking the reigns after Drew Bledsoe's injury. He never looked back after that.
I wish the Rams well but they certainly had too many injuries during that game. Their next opponent won't be known until after tomorrow.As a Packer fan I would still feel more comfortable playing The Bears than the Rams

That Colts-Bills game was great, that Colts coach did some bad decisions that cost his team.

So Stafford is going to be traded. @Walks_At_Night You once said contraction should happen to make the nightmare go away. (paraphrasing)
What the hell is wrong with the Lions? Has any other team wasted or chased off as much talent as them? To me it was clear that they needed a supporting cast for their stars throughout the years. (Sanders, Megatron, et al) It never happened. Their drafts were awful. How to fix it? Sell the team, which probably won't happen. Lions fans have every right to be frustrated.
So Stafford is going to be traded...
Two words. Andre Ware
Only of they find a taker.
Looking it up - he has $43 million left on his contract over the next two years, and a $62m cap hit. It looks like they can release him, owe him nothing, and take a $19m cap hit for 2021.

... I'm trying to imagine what the Lions would want in return. Stafford is a quality QB even though he's had some injuries. Maybe a 1st round pick this year, a current rostered player, and a future 3rd round pick. It's fun playing armchair GM. :D

@ShayP Good for Stafford. As PaperBoy pointed out, he won't be easy to move but perhaps someone like the Colts or the Pats would want him. At least he'll have a chance to maybe accomplish something in the years he has left. With this latest head coach hiring debacle, I guess it was too much even for Stafford to swallow. It was obvious the neckbeard had to be fired - even to the Ford's but who to replace him with? A proven retread like Marvin Lewis? Nah. A successful younger guy like Pederson who isn't dead inside yet? Nah. That arsehole Meyer who has succeeded at every place he has ever been? Nope. What about a young hot shot like Bieniemy or Saleh [a Detroit area native]. No way. We'll give to an obscure Tight End coach of all people [maybe because he was the only one that would take it?]. Not only that we'll give him a six year deal - just to lock in the suckage.
The franchise can't be fixed. The league really needs contraction and the Lions should be at the top of the hit list. It doesn't have to be a painful end but it has to end. Maybe one of those new fancy looking death machines? Just put Roary the Lion in there, hit the button and watch him slip away.

Raiders? Cow bois? Rams? Ok, Seattle it is.
Well enjoy Stafford @TigerLily Hope it works out for you. He's good and should be motivated with a fighting chance at success. You'll enjoy Mrs. Stafford out there. :P Kind of sucks there is so much money tied up in Goff - will be hard to flip him. I guess he'll have to stick around for at least a year. Hope he can adjust - swimming pools, movie stars and nothing but on field success to a post industrial, dystopian nightmare of despair and losing.
Well. That was stupid. I hate it already. Poor Jared. Yeah. I think Stafford will be motivated but will it matter?"will it matter?"
"will it matter?"
Probably not. Rams still may not get their Super Bowl win and the Lions? They'll just draft a ham fisted tight end, or a tackle that can't pass block or a wide receiver that O.D.'s. Groovy...
''The Rams, after trading for Stafford, will go seven consecutive seasons without making a first-round pick. They traded their 2016 and 2017 firsts to move up for Goff in the 2016 draft. They traded their 2018 first for wide receiver Brandin Cooks, their 2019 first-rounder to the Falcons for second and third-round picks, and their 2020 and 2021 first-rounders to the Jaguars for Jalen Ramsey...''
And the 2022 and 2023 first round picks to get out of Goff's contract and get Stafford.
At least the streak will only go on 3 more years. Unless they make another trade.

... I think Goff can flourish...
This Super Bowl may have the lowest ratings of all time - just like the rest of the games this season. I won't be watching, but I hope Tom Brady kicks ass and wins another one.
I'd like to see Tom win another one as well. KC played like supermen last game though and they might run away with it. I foresee an injured quarterback but am not sure which one.

Can this be the end of the Patruck Maholms worship, at least for a few weeks?
I was happy to see Champa Bay win this one. It was quite a surprise to see KC shut down after halftime, speaking of which I had never heard of the guy who did the halftime show but he was quite dynamic and a very good singer to boot.
I liked the halftime show mostly because it was different from the norm. Not the usual stage in mid-field with obvious planted fans surrounding it.
I like the visual stimulation of the backdrop and the end utiliting the whole field. Blinding Lights is a fun track. But I did think when I saw everyone wearing red jackets and zombie walk on the field we would get a Thriller cover.
As for the game, my Packers lost in the conference so was hard to get too into it when your team gets so close but ends up so far.

The NFL going to a 17 game season is just dumb.
You gotta check this Vikings Blogger's reaction out about half way into his transmission, when he learns about Viking CB Jeff Gladney's 3rd Degree Felony Assault alleged actions...
Haven't really watched much NFL since 2015 when Calvin Johnson retired. Yet another great players career wasted by the Lions. Swore the whole thing off at that point and life has been good.
Lions are on Monday Night Football tonight so I thought I would give it a watch to check out Jared Goff. Stafford is good - very good indeed. However, Goff seems fine. If the Lions don't draft some cans of corn with those picks it should turn out okay for them.
Goff played here at Cal Berkeley. Now I admit I didn't much follow the team those years - haven't since a bunch of selfish players like MeShawn Jackson shit the bed - but I was shocked he was even drafted.
What's kind of fascinating is that most of the NFL TV contracts expire 2022 (MNF/ESPN expire this year) and almost all reports think the TV contract price tag will actually go up. Especially now with streaming services getting into it. The reason is evenif with ratings are going down, Live Events is a huge want for TV channels because other regular shows people TIVO or stream & watch later and fast forward the commercials, Live TV/ sports you watch Live and more likely to watch the commercials, so advertisers really like that.

It went from $5.6 Billion a year (Just TV rights) to $10 Billion a year. Direct TV/ATT both partnered for Sunday ticket at a cost of $1.5 Billion a year, that is up at 2023 also that will be another bidding war.
I believe that their O-line is the worst they've had in my lifetime. These guys are trash. No push in the running game. They get stood up in the passing game. They look lost. They honestly look like they've never played the position before. I doubt Big Ben makes it passed game 6 before he's out for the year with an injury. That may be a good thing though because I'm sick of him.Oof.
The analysts were bragging how he has the quickest release of any QB so far. That's not necessarily a good thing. The guy is scared. He's getting popped regularly. He's running for his life. Then you see guys like Tom Brady that seem to just stay in the pocket as long as he wants and is never touched. He also has a quick release but doesn't need to hurry.
It's going to be a long season.
... He's getting popped regularly...
Here's the low down on who the woman is. Urban already knew her...Heh... who’d ever think Nebraska would take Urban down.
In January 2018 former coach Jon Gruden signed a 10 year $100 million deal to return to the Raiders.
Chucky made it 3 and a half years before having to resign. Not bad. I'm guessing the owner is glad to get out from under that contract.
ABC/ESPN has no end to their Rodgers "shaming." But for Henry Ruggs, whose actions led directly to the death of someone, no such level of shaming...
ABC/ESPN has no end to their Rodgers "shaming." But for Henry Ruggs, whose actions led directly to the death of someone, no such level of shaming.
Here's Colin Cowherd's personal take on the matter, one that doesn't mimic all of the ESPN commentators:
@ShayP Ok Shay. Lions vs Steelers happens this weekend. At 0-8, Detroit is not even halfway to that magical 0-17 season. It doesn't matter if Pittsburgh dominates 41-3 or eeks out a win on a last second field goal. Just win baby. Just win. Counting on you to come through.
I got to see the Thursday night game between the Dolphins and Ravens. Watched that ineligible Dolphins player catch the ball and make a diving touchdown while landing squarely on his head. Gave everybody a good laugh despite it not counting. Also fun to watch a game where the heavy favorites get their asses beat by the underdogs.
@Walks_At_Night Man, I have to laugh every time you post about the Lions. What would you do if they had a winning season or even won the Super Bowl? Heck, I even think that's unlikely in our lifetime. ;) ;D
I had a sinking feeling that if this game was in Detroit they would upset the Steelers. However, it's here and the weather is going to be crappy. I'm thinking the Steelers eek out a win and that will please you.
Oh. We probably already addressed it in the past but I don't remember. When did you give up on your home town team?
After Calvin Johnson retired and yet another outstanding players career was wasted in despair. He has good company though in joining Dick LeBeau, Lem Barney, Charlie Sanders, Eddie Murray, Alex Karras, Stan White, Bubba Baker, Doug English, Billy Sims, Jason Hanson, Jeff Chadwick, Herman Moore, Jeff Backus, Bennie Blades, Herman Weaver, Mel Farr, Stephen Boyd, Chris Spielman, Robert Porcher, Lomas Brown, Kevin Glover, Keith Dorney and Barry Sanders. All wonderful players whose postseason accomplishments aren't worth a bucket of spit. :'(
At least the Pirates have We Are Family. The only thing I can remember about the Lions is they were on the receiving end of Tom Dempsey’s kick.
Well, @Walks_At_Night I'm afraid the Lions just might win. Big Ben was placed on the COVID list. He's cooked anyway. There's nothing left in him and our O-line is awful. I don't rust Mason Rudolph to excel behind that line. At least Ben has experience and can improvise. Mason cannot.
Lions 19 Steelers 17
The spread currently is Lions +8. I'll take it.
Missed extra point and a missed field goal in the clutch and Pittsburgh *still* couldn't beat the Lions. 16-16 tie. Mason Rudolph really stinks.
The dream for perfection is dead.

Well. That last game of the night was a beautiful game. Neither team could have played much better. I think we finally have a Chargers team worth rooting for. I thought near the end "here we go again. Lose it in the final minutes" but they hung tough. It's been a different feeling all year with the changes from management to coaching to quarterback. We'll see how long the magic lastsNFWho?
Sorry @ShayP master. The Steelers looked awesome. And came so close

I didn't watch the game. @TigerLily Just catching up on the details. Seems to me QB- Justin Herbert was a one man wrecking crew. The kid's a stud.
So true. I viewed the last quarter of the game only to see L A take a two touchdown lead with only eight minutes remaining. I stopped watching at that point, but I did return to the game with just two plus minutes remaining, to find the the Steelers were leading by three points. Sadly, L A had the ball at that time and easily scored a touchdown. At that point, I think that Big Ben decided to make a statement at how piss poor his offensive line blockers were. They gave him no time whatsoever to make a long pass to win the game. I put the loss squarely on their shoulders.
Sorry @ShayP master. The Steelers looked awesome. And came so close
@Rikki Gins The current O-Line is the absolutely worst the Steelers have had in my lifetime. That's not an exaggeration either. They do nothing well. I also just saw a video of DE- Cam Heyward punching Justin Herbert is the stomach while he was on the ground. :o He should've been ejected.
Gut punch? No problemo! Meanwhile the Lions get nailed for a 15 yarder for the tried and true "Your Mother is so ugly, I could stick her face in some dough and make gorilla cookies".

Okay. Thanksgiving soon cometh. Nice traditional match up for Detroit's big day - Chicago. One would think that the Bears would wail the snot out of the 0-9-1 Lions but Chicago has lost five straight and the fans there are calling for the head coach's scalp. I'll be darned if I know what is gonna happen but it should be quite the suckfest.
I've seen grumblings out there that some want to take the Thanksgiving game away from the Lions. They've had it for almost 90 years. It is really the only thing the franchise has. Probably best to rip it away from them for 60 years of ineptitude.

Nah, they should keep the Thanksgiving game. Ya know, @Walks_At_Night I never gave any thought as to why they've had a game on Thanksgiving day for so long. I could Google it but I won't. I expect a synopsis, in triplicate, on my desk Monday. Mark it ATTN: Greg :D
What will be funny to me is if the Lions have another tie. ;D Go for that 0-9-2 baby!
Attention: Greg
In the mid-1930's the Detroit Tigers were a powerhouse. Of the eight hitters in their lineup - four would end up in the HoF: Greenberg, Gehringer, Gooslin and Cochrane. The Lions were new and kind of an after thought, so the generate some buzz the owner decided to try a game on Thanksgiving. It worked as the game sold out and they've played on Thanksgiving ever since.
I actually watched the Lions game. It was a hoot. Third and four and you need a big stop at a critical point in the game. So.........

@Walks_At_Night I know it’s frustrating but at least I think they have cemented their first pick in the 2022 draft. Or have they traded that away? Who do you think they’ll pick? I hope they don’t ruin their number 1 pick like they did with Andre Ware.

Jags fans are happy about Urban but still very angry. Since Shad Kahn bought the team, they are 41-116 with one season without double-digit losses. They are clearly the worst team in the league as they will prove Sunday against Houston.Yes, the Jags have more problems beyond Urban.

Every top college football player is going to try to have a bad Bowl game in hopes the Jags don't pick them number 1 :D
Things are going nuts in Jacksonville. Monday the word got out that Trent Balke would be retained as general manager. The local and regional sports columnists wrote about what a bad reputation he has in the league. Sports talk radio exploded. A social media campaign against Balke was started by fans. Signs began to appear around town with a clown face displaying owner Shad Kahn’s famous mustache.
This afternoon Cowboys defensive coach Dan Quinn turned down an invitation to interview for the head coach position.
Now word has leaked that Balke might be fired after all.
Stay tuned, as Art would say.
@Walks_At_Night Was Eric Hipple hurt during that game? Your post brought back a memory. That was the year the Lions poleaxed the Steelers 45-3 on Thanksgiving Day. I remember that game. Hipple played that game then Danielson was brought in for mop up duty.
My friends and other neighborhood kids would play Nerf football in the street before the game and at half time. I do remember us playing that day. You know the rules of inner city street football. Two hand touch. Telly (telephone pole) to telly, no quick kicks, no newies. Curbs are out of bounds. If the ball hits the wires it's a free ball. These had to be announced before the game. Ahhhh, memories. I was in 8th grade at that time.
Sorry. I got carried away.
Am I wrong in thinking you still have love for the Lions even though they've beaten your fandom down? Have you written them off totally? You wax nostalgic, which I appreciate. Trust me, I do the same.
By the way, the team stat line in that game had the Lions leading in every category. I'd blame Danielson's 5 INTs more than Murray's missed FG. They actually had a chance to dominate.
@ShayP
Yes - Hipple was injured in the last game of the season so that is why Danielson was playing. Not that Eric Hipple was all that great either but perhaps he would not have thrown five interceptions in that game. How do you that and still have a good shot of winning? The defense came through pretty well. At the time the Lions kind of had a Hippleson concept where they might bring in Danielson if Hipple was struggling. At their very best - either one of them was average but hey - at least they did not end up on America's Most Wanted like their contemporary, Jeff Komlo (https://www.inquirer.com/philly/news/local/20090318_Ex-quarterback_s_scramble_may_be_over.html).
Do I still have love for the Lions? Hmmmm. It is complicated. I don't actively watch the games much anymore. I did watch two this year [the first in about five years] to get a feel for Jared Goff [He is not as good as Stafford but he is not awful]. I do follow the boxscores and enjoy when the guys over on the The Den (https://thedenforum.com/) try and rationalize that it will be better in the long run. Right now the consensous is that since the players don't want the new head coach to die in a house fire, like they did for Matt Patricia, that Campbell is building something "special". Hope so but we shall see. The new GM in his first draft didn't screw the pooch and made some safe picks. We have done that before too - made safe picks of good players that leave as free agents as soon as they can.
Oh and yeah. That was quite the beatdown on Thanksgiving that year - that must have been a weird time to be a Steelers guy. Can't fire Noll because he is Noll but the team never really flourished. Just year after year of mostly being slightly above average. Guess you are there again with Tomlin.
They screwed the pooch all the way back to the way they handled Andre Ware.
I remember no one liking GM Matt Millen
In case no one heard the Giants suck.
Hope I'm wrong on this, but Barkley just seems like one of those snakebit players who's always going to struggle with the injury bug. He's a super talent, however.
As a Bengals fan I recall another elite Penn State RB whose career was derailed by injury. Ki-Jana Carter is the last RB to be drafted #1 overall (1995). What a marvelous talent he was- one of the biggest "what ifs" in franchise history.
What are they going to do at QB? Stick with Daniel Jones? There's talk they won't but I think they should. Get that O-line straight and the secondary. Saquon Barkley is a beast if he can stay healthy. Maybe fire Judge?
Dan Reeves, who won a Super Bowl as a player with the Dallas Cowboys but was best known for a long coaching career highlighted by four more appearances in the title game with the Denver Broncos and the Atlanta Falcons, all losses, died Saturday. He was 77.
A statement released by his family through former Falcons media relations director Aaron Salkin said Mr. Reeves died of complications from dementia.
Hey @ShayP (and any other Steelers fans). Big Ben says he's retiring after Monday's game. How do you feel about that?
One of the Jaguars’ beat writers was on the radio pre-game show. He said he’d run out of things to say about how awful the team is.
I fine with it. @TigerLily However, that's just his last home game. I believe he'll finish the season. There's a very, VERY, slim chance they make the playoffs as a Wild Card if they beat the Browns and Ravens, and get a little help from another team's loss. If so, that'll be his last dance.
But, if he walks away after the Browns game I'm fine with that too. I just can't see him not finishing out the season.

Sounds like Jimmy G will be available. Maybe even Aaron Rodgers or the guy in Seattle. How tight is Crab-leg's hold on the Saint's job?...
Terrible management. Terrible drafting. Since Kahn bought the team 10-years ago, one first round draft pick has signed a second contract. That was Blake Bortles, who was gone a year later. Over the past 20-years they’ve picked four quarterbacks in the top 10. Byron Leftwich - great arm, vision, and knowledge but too immobile to protect himself thus mediocre. Blaine Gabbert - coward who ducks under the slightest pass rush thus terrible. Bortles - strong, tough, able to run, not a natural passer so mediocre at best. Trevor Lawrence - his best receiver is Laquon Treadwell. He has no chance.
So essentially, when it comes to management, the Jaguars are the Pittsburgh Pirates of the NFL.Maybe worse.
Well, that was different. ::)

Coach Bruce Arians said after the game that Brown was off the team.Maybe Chippendales is hiring.
“He is no longer a Buc,†Arians said.
Who will lose out @Walks_At_Night ? Jacksonville or Detroit?
Maybe Chippendales is hiring.

Washington Football Team to announce new name on Feb. 2; it won't be an early fan favorite
https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/32991672/the-washington-football-team-plans-announce-new-name-feb-2-not-fan-favorite
Rumor has it it will the Washington Admirals...
Who's excited about the rebirth of the USFL?
I'd rather see a football league composed of robots. Batteries set to slowly weaken as the game progresses. Injuries? Sure. The players can even bleed, but with leaking machine oil, not blood.
Who's excited about the rebirth of the USFL? Only 8 teams. I can't believe Pittsburgh has the Maulers coming back. Tampa? If anything the Memphis Showboats should've been brought back. I can see why Birmingham came back since every team will be playing their games in Alabama during the first season.

Interesting the Panthers are back - with the same ugly ass color combo to boot.
They should have swiped the old Michigan Stags look:

@Walks_At_Night it looks as though both the Lions and the Jaguars are trying to lose that #1 pick.
How about that @TigerLily ?
Jordan Love pass intercepted down the middle. C.J. Moore intercepted Jordan Love for 21 yards
The Colts are making a comeback.
Jordan Love pass intercepted down the middle. Tracy Walker intercepted Jordan Love for 5 yards
How about that @TigerLily ?
I want to see a game where after the kickoff, everyone stares at the ball with crossed arms, daring someone to pick it up
8:15 p.m. ET: (6) New England Patriots at (3) Buffalo Bills
I like to make sport of conspiracy theorists, even though what I am about to say checks all of theboxes, yet is different for reasons which will come to me any minute now.
Bill Bellichek realized the high probability of meeting the Bills in the playoffs, so he didn't use his best plays in their second matchup. He has studied this matchup like an Aussie hooker field inspecting my knob. NE is going to fuck the Bills in the ass in their playoff matchup and make them like it.
For any doubters, I have two and possibly as many as five dollars to backup my opinions.
Beat that, haters
Here's a Look at the Coldest Games Ever in NFL History
https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/sports/nbcsports/heres-a-look-at-the-coldest-games-ever-in-nfl-history/2684053/
Congratulations to Walks At Night, whose beloved Lions now own the longest post-season win drought. I remember watching that game when they thrashed the Cowboys with Barry Sanders running wild.
Congratulations to Walks At Night, whose beloved Lions now own the longest post-season win drought. I remember watching that game when they thrashed the Cowboys with Barry Sanders running wild.
All the Cowboy haters all over the country are laughing their asses off.Fourteen penalties for Dallas. I was channel surfing and every time I checked the game, the Cowboys looked like crap. Jerry can’t be happy.
What a dumb way to end a game and lose.
I'm predicting a Steelers victory over the Chiefs. Not because I'm a Yinzer fanboy, but it's simply a gut feeling. Steelers 27 Chiefs 24
I think I'm going to have to eat crow on this one. :P
Last time the 49ers had a playoff game at Lambeau, Colin Kapernik had 98 yards on 7 carries. Plus a few more (188) passing...
I did feel a little sorry for Ben.
Then you would have felt sorry for Ty Cobb, I'm guessing.
Fuck Ben with a vibrating porcupine. He is a tactless, selfish, belligerent dickhead. Not everyone deserves a loving sendoff. The NFL will be better without him.
So @PB. I know you live in their environs but were you actually rooting for the Niners?
Yes, when I moved here I immediately dumped the Seahawks and jumped on the Montana/Rice/Walsh/Lott Super Bowl bandwagon. I hate the Cowboys as much as anyone.
I don't watch the games anymore, but I still follow the teams.
... I had a love/hate thing with the Chargers that eventually turned into hate/hate...
The only thing I know about Ty Cobb he was a baseball guy and his "custodians" played hockey with his frozen head
... Why does everyone hate the Cowboys?
I kind of hate the Seahawks...
I would have thought so too @ShayP . The Chiefs were pretty lackluster this season. But then today ... Bam!

I bought a TV for my room so I could watch the Seahawks when they first came into the league (my father hated sports and wouldn't let us watch games on Sunday afternoon).
They were fun as hell to watch, being an expansion team, they gamboled a lot and always had a bunch of trick plays. Then they became ordinary, I moved here...
I quit paying attention to them, but when they got that cheater from USC, with all his dirty play and players, I went from not caring to them being one of the teams I hate. Their jackass fans aren't helping.
I hate the Seahawks and the Chargers. I'm still scarred by seeing Franco Harris end his career in a Seahawks jersey. I think the only player I liked on that team was Steve Largent. Every time I think of the Chargers I think of their playoff win against the Steelers. They should've stayed in San Diego though. I actually feel bad for the fans.
I hate every team that moves away from the fans.
You mean Ted Williams, right?
For me, it's #1 - I'm a Steelers fan. #2 - Their fans are insufferable. #3 - "America's team." The Steelers were actually given the nickname first and the owner, Art Rooney, wanted no part of it. #4 - Again, the fans. Most I've met are just band waggoners.
I hated them because their stadium won them too many games. Now everyone has a stadium like that. Pete Caroll gets on my last nerve. I used to hate them because they were always the team the Rams had to get through. Now it's Arizona (Arizona?)All fans are jerks. It's the $5.00 beer. I love how the Chargers always have more visiting team fans than their own
Not this fan. I think we voted them out of San Diego. They wanted a new stadium. Hell no. Their management are bastards
All this Chargers talk reminds me of the second best game (https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/198201020mia.htm) that I ever watched. Chargers at Miami. Chargers jump out to a 24 to 0 lead at the end of the 1st quarter. Shula sends in Don Strock of the bench and throws for 400 yards in 3 quarters and the Dolphins tie the game at 38 to 38 with a chance to win on a last second field goal. Winslow whom had had a good of a game that a tight end could ever have then blocks von Schamann's kick and the Chargers win in over time.
That was at Candlestick, or whatever it was called then...
I don't think the taxpayers should be paying for stadiums either.
They left on their own, they could have built their own stadium and stayed.
Exactly. But I'm glad they didn't

Ty Cobb wasn't as bad as the legend goes. That's for another thread though.
... which sacked him nine times...
“Joe Burrow overcame constant harassment from the Titans' defensive front, which sacked him nine times...â€
That is one tough dude. :o And the Bengals actually won the game.

What!! lol?Some guy on Twitter was posting this during the game.
I wonder what the record is for most sacks taken in a win, playoffs and reg season.
I watched the Titans - Bengals game. I found it to be a rather lackluster game and both sides had trouble with the opposing defense. I think that's why the Bengals were able to get a win despite Joe being sacked so many times. Now the Bengals will meet the winner of the Kansas City - Buffalo game. I certainly don't envy them. That K.C. - Buffalo game should be a good one to watch.Apparently, taking 9 sacks trumps throwing 3 interceptions. ;) It didn’t hurt that the Bengals had a kicker that was nailing long field goals all game long.
Maybe spending hours of your time doing interviews whining about how much of a victim you are because of your anti-vaccine stance wasn't the best use of Rodgers time on playoff week. 10 points at home and getting out clutched by Jimmy freakin Garoppolo. As a Packer fan I am tired of this guys playoff choke job every year.

Actually he did 1 interview and it was uninformed conspiracy theory lemmings like yourself who blindly believe whatever big pharma/Democrat party media feed them that demanded Rogers answer for not drinking their coolaid. Rogers was as discreet as one can be about their private health care decisions.visitors can't see pics , please register or login

And now to further educate you, The 9ers won because of special teams. Nothing more. They will be embarrassed next week against Tampa Bay. Any questions?

Brady would have picked that lousy secondary apart. But now...
On the plus side, the 49ers seem to have the Rams number beating them six straight times now. 49ers also have the best defense of the teams remaining in the playoffs.
On the other hand, they've had 3 difficult 'must' games on the road the past 3 weeks, and have to play the Rams there. I'd like to know how often one team beat the other three times in one season, I'm thinking that third game has been fairly elusive.
The expectations of the fans preseason was NFL Championship game, if not the Super Bowl. Based on their season, that slowly went away. Here they are though.
40-Whiners to beat the Lambs.
Just one: why do you think that you know jack shit about anything?
Being pressured into becoming a 'Seahawks Guy'
I don't wanna be a seahawks guy :(
I think I like the Rams.. since I was a kid even. Rams are mighty but birds are just, well, birds. Garbage eating miniature dinosaurs. When Baseball season comes around the fucking Mariner pressure will surely begin.
https://twitter.com/NFL_Memes/status/1485445816017899522Ha! I’d be all for just calling the KC-Buffalo game the Super Bowl. What a last two minutes and OT.

You poor, bitter, miserable man.
One of the greatest games in NFL history, and all you can do is complain about it and ultimately dismiss it as not worth your time.
You hate everyone, and everything. Sucks to be you.

I saw online the Chiefs/Bills game was coming down to the wire, so I turned it on.
The first thing I wondered was why the Chief defender was hanging all over the receiver, then pushed him away from the ball, and no call. Not unexpected, I've seen endless non-calls on what used to be clear PI increasing for years now. They ought to either call it or stop calling it. Also, the ''just let them play'' at the end of games is bullshit. If it's a penalty on the first play of exhibition, it's a penalty on the last play of the Superbowl. If they truly aren't going to make calls at the end of the game, then the refs should tell both sides and go sit down somewhere, instead of having a guessing game. If you don't want to get a penalty, don't commit one. On the very next play they call a less flagrant PI, but the receiver caught it anyway. Was that just an ass-covering flag so they wouldn't get accused of not calling them that late in the game?
One of the many reasons I don't really watch sports is the officiating. Fucksakes, they ought to designate some fan at home watching on TV to make certain calls the refs never seem to get right. PI in football, balls and strikes in baseball, fouls in basketball. Given the percent of just horrible calls and non-calls, my theory is they are too close to the action somehow.
I was assuming a Buffalo squib kick on the kickoff to force them to pick it up and run some time off at 13 seconds. The announcer even told the audience that was what was coming. This is why teams do that. The coach threw away the win on that.
I'm glad as usual I didn't waste 3 hours on this.
And now to further educate you, The 9ers won because of special teams. Nothing more. They will be embarrassed next week against Tampa Bay. Any questions?
The special teams fuckups certainly didn't help things, but only someone who is invested in Rodgers as a darling of the antivax cult would ignore his share of the responsibility. You are so proudly, and smugly ignorant. It's a shame that's all you have. Oh no...anyway...
And now to further educate you, The 9ers won because of special teams. Nothing more. They will be embarrassed next week against Tampa Bay. Any questions?
Other than that I have no idea how the game went. That's how I know that it wasn't the greatest game of all time. There was scoring, and excitement for the fans. Now, I remember the greatest game of all time. It was in nineteen hunnert and 21, the Akrom Pros verses the Canton Bulldogs. Three to aught was the final, almost no scoring! I had to take the BART to Daly City to listen to the game, but it only cost a nickel at the time. This was when the Libs didn't control the state and it weren't a hellhole like it is now. And we didn't have ivermectin back then, either. Not like today. Where was I? Oh yes, about taking the bus to the bank...It's a lot more expensive now thanks to the Libs.
In other words, the Prevent Defense prevented the Bills from winning. Noted.
Sean Payton steps down from coaching the Saints.
With nine head coach openings, do you think there's any chance of some black guys being hired?
Is that his real name?
Seems like the Bears are gonna go with Jim Caldwell. Which will mean that he'll be the first Lions head coach in like 60 years to get another head coaching gig after leaving the Lions. The Lions stench is so strong it ruins guys forever. At his age, not sure why he would want to be a head coach again but if that is what he wants, I'm sure he'll get a gig. He's a very nice man, has had success and good with QB's. He just makes some funky in-game decisions once in a while.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/aaron-rodgers-says-fans-tuned-201050947.html
Maybe he should talk about how he chokes in the playoffs, or why he's the most fake GOAT ever.
@TigerLily

OMG You love football! You're as bad as me!
For me the top sports leagues have had the fun sucked out of them
I'm deeply shocked. You are always so cheerful and optimistic, why it is that everyone is just sucking the joy out of your life?
Ron White was doing a show, televised, and talking about a show that he did in Fort Polk, Louisiana. At the start of the show he was making some small talk and mentioned that there were 39.000 troops stationed there.
And some woman in the front row yelled out "Yeah, an' ever one of 'ems a BAD FUCK!"
White, as he tells it, thought about it a beat and then replied, "You know, I'd think that after 39,000 times you'd think, 'Maybe it's me?'"
Just food for thought, there buddie.
if it's not fun anymore I'd rather do something else.
You reply to practically all of my posts where I mention you or one of your body parts.
What can we conclude from these two statements?
That you're dumb and boring?
So you enjoy dumb and boring almost as much as affixing your lips to the ample, sweaty posterior of Cadet Bonespurs?
Small wonder that you don't like professional sports. Or the Libs.

49ers 24 - Rams 21
Gotta disagree. And you know I'm usually shy about that. Rams will win tomorrow. I have my lucky Rams hoodie. And they will win the Superbowl against the Chiefs. You read it here first folks
I'm going with PB's prediction. I want to see what it feels like for him to be right about something
I'd like to see the Niners' and Bengals win their respective games but I'm afraid that neither one will advance.
Oh you know, like anything you get used to it.
You're def making progress, agreeing with me is a good way for you to start getting things right for a change.
You gotta have faith Rikki. Use some of that 100 years mojo. I love the 9ers except when they are playing against my Rams. My magic hoodie says ... you lose. Sorry Rikki. I dont care about the other game. I'm just used to the Chiefs winning playoff games

What, you see BALL and take it as a universal term? C'mon dude, ya' betta' din dat!
Hey everybody! Look at Bart in the wrong thread!! Hahahaha
What kind of lost jerk would mention Tom Brady in a football thread?All I saw was the baseball card, I neglected to actually examine the content of your post. BUT I DON'T CARE
I have the shame.
So much of the shame.
I would like to see a Niners/Chiefs rematch, just to see how Garappolo manages to fuck that chicken one more time. And let's face it, ladies, the man is industrial-strength pretty. His impossibly dreamy eyebrows are like two stretched hamsters, and an inexplicable sorcery emanates from their magnetic presence.Jimmy...
Wouldn't it be fun to see the impossible happen, and the Niners win the Big One? Garappolo refusing to roll over and die on schedule, so that Trey Lance can take over? Trade him to Seattle for two first-rounders, so that we can have two grudge matches per year AND two cupcake wins per season. TELL ME YOU'RE NOT ROCK HARD.

Good for them. Mahomes and KC have their ring. Let one of the other 3QB's and teams still in it get theirs [I assume Jimmy has some from sitting on the bench but you know what I mean].It looked like KC was going to blow them out in the first half. Then KC came away scoreless after that last first half drive. Burrow and McPherson got a lot of attention but the Bengal defense really clamped down for most of the second half. It also helped that Burrow wasn’t spending half the game flat on his back. ;)
Rodgers is 11-10 in the playoffs, which is really poor compared to his regular season record and it's not like that there's an NFC dynasty team out there like the Pats/Brady in the AFC for the last decade, in the last nine(edit today: now TEN) playoff appearances since the Packers Superbowl... Only the 2011/12 Giants and last years Bucs ended up winning the SuperBowl, so these Rodgers'/Packers loses were not even against the best team in football.
I would like to see a Niners/Chiefs rematch, just to see how Garappolo manages to fuck that chicken one more time.
If the Chargers and the Rams were both playing for their Conference Championships as the Home Teams, how would the NFL had handled that??

I suppose that we will never know for sure, but I just find it very difficult to believe that Belichick "misread" the text where he's informed that the Giants have already picked Daboll. Flores worked with Belichick for 15 years. Why would Buffalo contact Belichick to tell him that Flores had been chosen?
Well, if Belichick cooked this up with or without Flores, then good on him. It's about time that this fake Rooney Rule compliance gets scrutinized.
I know NFL is huge and pretty untouchable but Flores is bringing in a blowtorch lol. Boomers and cell phones are a dangerous mix ;D but the allegation of the Dolphins owner that he would add $100,000 if he loses at the end of the season can bring the hammer down on the team big time.
I can't wait. Was that the year they drafted Tua?

I watched the simpsons.I watched Columbo. Patrick McGoohan whacked Leslie Nielsen.
I'm not even bothering with the halftime show, I figured it would just be a big commercial for black lives matter. I did see a report that Peyton Manning and Joe Nameth(?) have been in like a million commercials
Best line I heard on twitter of the Halftime show was that Florida is going to ban any discussion of it in their schools ;D

Not only that, seeing government officials and other celebrities - people we all want to look up to as role models - unmasked and enjoying themselves was disheartening.Do it
Don't they realize we're in the middle of a pandemic, and their unsafe behavior is putting all of us at risk? What are we supposed to tell the children?
I enjoyed the game and the halftime show. I'm glad the Rams won. (Joe Burrow kind of freaked me out, how he seemed so totally nonplussed about playing in the biggest game of the year.) At halftime I liked Snoop Dogg the best because I could understand what he was rapping. I had trouble understanding what the other performers were saying/singing so I turned on the closed captioned feature on the tv. The poor thing could only make out a few lines at a time and was way too late with what it could decipher. All in all it was a great game because it was a close match all the way through.
I saw the DreDay dancers. Freaky. Great visuals. A minute and a half of great visuals, not "music."
Apparently, fuck was said numerous times.
The most talent on that field (presuming the DreDay choreographer wasn't on field) was probably those girls who slept their way into that production. It takes talent to impress some of those "production companies."

This year Super Bowl had TV rating of 99.2 Million viewers on NBC up from last year was 91.6 Million on CBS. This years alternative views were 1.9M on Telemundo and 11.2M on Streaming platform, with a total of 112.3M watching overall. Interesting that 10% of overall viewers watched online.
I am really surprised the TV ratings went that up from last years star players Brady vs Mahomes. You didn't really have those mainstream names/stories this year. But I guess a huge market like LA being in the Super Bowl helped the ratings and even though they are not my type of music but having huge GenX halftime show with a bunch of top artists from late 90s early 2000 was probably a much bigger attraction than last years Weeknd who pretty popular today but won't have the boomer crowd coming in like the acts from 20 years ago

Wow. It seems like he said 'naahh.' Why not attempt at least help, call 911 or comfort her? There were plenty of people the but his apathy says something. Turning your back and walking away while casually sipping water.
Well - let's break it down:
1. He is probably half crocked from celebtrating.
2. Best he can do for her immediately from where he is at, is to peer over the edge and look concerned like Mrs. Stafford.
3. Worst case is that he goes over too, lands on top of her - making her situation worse and seperating his $100 million shoulder.
4. It happened so fast, although part of his job is analyzing situations quickly, I doubt he weighed 1, 2 and 3 in his actions and even if he did, the turning your back and chugging your water/vodka is a terrible look.
5. While I've not met Stafford, by most accounts he was well liked in Detroit. He had some grumblings about the neck beard, Patricia but who didn't?
6. Possibly the move to California has turned him into a Hollywood asshole or just exposed his asshole tendencies for the world to see.
Moral of the story. Don't have hopes and dreams. Just accept your lot in life and grunt through it to the end. If he would have stayed in Detroit, he would have been making a snowman with his kids that day and most people wouldn't know who the hell he even was. But no..... He had dreams of winning it all and now even his dog probably thinks he is a dick.
I think a better moral of the story is to not judge a person's character on one act. From everything I have read, he's a good guy with a great work ethic. Was this as bad as it looks? Maybe so, but I don't think we can take that any further than he made a colossal fuckup. And everybody makes those, because we are all human.

Well - let's break it down:Oh there's no probably about it, he was halfway to Pluto during the Winners Celebration. 8) (pic below) But I agree with you guys that it shouldn't be a stain on his entire character but I did find it amazing three days of stamping himself a big money player opening himself up for winners' endorsement, the only obstacle in your way is the champions parade and that happened in front of him lol
1. He is probably half crocked from celebtrating.

Seahawks favorite son, Russel Wilson has been traded to Denver and I'm tired and sick of hearing about it on my right leaning talk radio shows. From what I hear he WAS great but his best years are behind him. He is/was very expensive and did not hold back when it came to expressing how he did not want to remain a Seahawk, let alone live in WA for the rest of his career.
I for one am happy about it as the team will begin a rebuild phase and this will be my time to jump in and root for my newly adoptedlaundryteam.

This is the guy that the Bears drafted in 2017. The Bears traded FOUR draft picks to move up ONE spot in the draft order. Because there weren’t any other quarterbacks a available that year you ask? They skipped Mahomes and Watson to pick a guy that was a backup for his first 2 years in a minor university program, started a total of 13 games and entered the draft in his junior year. I guess because he had beaten Stanford in the bowl game, they were worried the 49ers would pick him. The 49ers didn’t even draft a QB with their 1st round choice but apparently they WERE scouting that bowl game because they chose a DE from Stanford named Solomon Thomas. They didn’t pick a QB until the third round. C.J. Beathard. Now that guy got replaced quickly by Garrapolo.
Trubisky did win more games than he lost in Chicago but he certainly didn’t shine like Mahomes or Watson.
And even though I'm critical of Mike Tomlin,
Because it looks like he might whip out a forked tongue ribbon and eat a fly on live television?If he did it, even Cleveland fans would celebrate.
Serious question: Are there any Pittsburgh fans who are not critical of Tomlin?
* Has had a winning season every season of his 15 year career
* Nine playoff appearances; seven division titles, 3 AFC championship games, two Super Bowls, one Super Bowl win
* 154-85-2 record with Steelers
* Successfully coached Antonio Brown
WHAT COULD POSSIBLY BE THE REASON WHY PITTSBURGH FANS ARE CRITICAL OF MIKE TOMLIN?????

I saw a listing of some picks... I saw the name Stingley.
Turns out he is the grandson of Darryl Stingley. They said it was a preseason game (Raiders and Patriots), but I swear I watched it because I remember that incident on video. Surely, in the 70s, they didn't have preseason games on TV. I do remember it was in Oakland, it was still daylight when it happened.
At least some teams had preseason games on local TV.I listened to sports talk radio this morning at some ungodly hour. Apparently that first pick was not considered by anybody as worthy of a top pick. Something about he doesn't have the mental and physical tools... There is also a comment that the GM is short-lived for the job if this pick doesn't work out. They also referenced his previous picks while in San Francisco that didn't work out.
It’s hilarious to listen to the Gator Homers on Jacksonville sports talk radio. The idea of the Jaguars taking a Georgia player first has them apoplectic.
That Cowboys pick from Tulsa, Tyler Smith . . .

Baalke is well hated.
Walker is 6’5†and 272-lbs. He ran the 40 at the combine in 4.51. I don’t see how he doesn’t have the measurable. What he doesn’t have are quarterbacks. Georgia, however created a new defense a few years ago that emphasizes gap control by the defensive linemen. It allows them to stop the run with only the three linemen and a couple of linebackers. Thus, none of the Georgia linemen had many sacks. There’s speculation the NFL will be moving to something similar.
The reach of the first round had to be the Pats taking Cole Stange out of Chattanooga. They probably could have gotten him as late as the third, maybe fourth, round.
I read a few weeks ago the NFL will no longer be administering the Wonderlic at the combine after this year. The way the article was worded, I got the impression individual teams could still give it if they so desired, however.
The Pats have a knack for finding diamonds in the rough. I was very surprised at that pick.
I never looked into, or took a Wonderlic test. Since you mentioned it I searched for a free online version. I scored a 29. I don't even know if that's good.
Did anyone ever score lower than Vince Young’s 6?
I think it is good. Just not Dietrich good. ;)
Yes, since Uncle Duke brought up the Wonderlic I became curious.
6 — Vince Young (quarterback)
6 — Frank Gore (running back)
6 — Oscar Davenport (quarterback)
5 — Ed Prather (safety)
4 — Darren Davis (running back)
Morris Claiborne also had a 4, but it was found out later that he had a learning disability which affects his reading comprehension.
Wonderlic scores below 10 are considered indicative of illiteracy. By position, CB scores lowest across the board on the Wonderlic.
CB's? Huh. That's interesting. Do you think the Wonderlic is useful for an NFL prospect, and do they prep for it? I just took it for fun and didn't know what to expect. I also learned that a punter had the highest score.
I also scored a point higher than Russell Wilson and Drew Brees. :D Being that I like quizzes and tests, I may take it a dozen more times. ;D

https://www.kron4.com/sports/colin-kaepernick-impresses-raiders-door-is-open-to-sign-with-team/
I don't see how he can be in football shape after 5+ years out of the league. He could barely read defenses before, hence all the running yards he had, and needs to learn the playbook. As a back up he might be okay for a couple seasons. But do they want the headache if he starts his protesting again? Aside from all that, what sticks with me mainly is how he quit on the team when he got benched. Didn't go to meetings, etc. Turned down the contract option for his last year. Then the protesting started soon after.
He was brilliant at running the Pistol, which is fine for college but would eventually get someone killed by the much faster NFL defenses. It got them to the Super Bowl that year though.
As far as reading defenses, he could do that fine, just not fast enough before the pocket collapsed if the first option was covered. Turns out you have to be intelligent and think quickly to be a QB in the NFL.
Even if he could play at this level, who needs the media circus that would surround him. Fuck this guy.
I believe he's an intelligent guy but other factors were involved. By no means am I making excuses for him with that statement. There was talk around here a couple years ago about bringing him in for a workout. Even recently since he did the one for the Raiders. It makes no sense on any level. I'd lose my mind if the Steelers took a flyer on him.
All in all, he alone blew his career.
And yes, fuck him.

Well, no more Heinz Field in Pittsburgh. It will be called Acrisure Stadium. ::) It's an insurance company that is going to pay $10 million a year over 15 years for the naming rights.
Yinzers are not happy.
Here's my question: So what?
Ok, so the naming rights were sold to some corporation by whoever manages the stadium. Why do the rest of us have to go along? Why does media have to use the new name? Why do the fans?
I call the stadiums and areas around here Giants Stadium, A's Stadium, the Warriors Arena, the Shark Tank, and the 49ers Stadium. there's no confusion, everyone knows what I'm talking about, no one's mad at me. I don't have to relearn everything every 3 years.
Fuck 'em and their stupid ''naming rights'' - change the sign if you want, and leave the rest of us alone.

I always got a chuckle over the mouthful that was the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl.
... I confused it with Sarsaparilla. ;D
Yeah, I get it. It could be called <insert name here> field or stadium. However Heinz is synonymous with the city. The company was founded here in 1869 so it has deep roots. Yinzers get sensitive to the change. Me? I just get tired of all the corporate labels on every thing. Look at all the college bowl games.
There is a mall here that was known as Northway Mall for over 60 years. It was renovated a few years ago and renamed The Block Northway. I'll always call it by it's original name.
It's scary how often I find myself agreeing with you lately.
Put out the word, and just call it Heinz Stadium. I doubt anyone is going to argue with you.
I wonder what the response would be if someone called into the local sports talk radio station and said that. I wonder if the politically correct hosts would shit themselves in repudiating the idea, or if the caller would even get on. The fact is though, they are the ones who ought to be leading the effort for everyone to ignore the name change and keep calling it by the current name.

He has made a point of telling us numerous times about how little he cares about professional sports. Except the names on the stadiums. But otherwise, he doesn't care, and it's important that we all know that.
It's also music venues - which I do go to. And most of the venues have both music and sports events.
But whether I'm going or not, where various events are held comes up in conversation all the time.
I think the fans should continue to call the stadiums and arenas by the traditional names if they want.
Why stop there?
Damn players are constantly changing, might as well just refer to them by their position.
Right fielder has 34 home runs already this year.

To this?
You're not trying to suck up to Bart are you?
You just triggered JUAN.Indeed.
The days of naming stadiums after the city (Boston Gardens, Chicago Stadium) or even cooler a loved athlete (Joe Lewis Arena) is unfortunately long gone. But to be honest nobody wants tax payers money to build stadiums for rich sports owners and there no way rich sports owners is going to build an arena and not get some revenue back with naming right. Now you just hope it's not a stupid name or some flash in the pan "What the heck is that" type of company
Not following your line of reasoning here Doris...
Besides Lambeau Field and Paul Brown Stadium, which stadiums don't have corporate names? Is the Superdome still called that?https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/the-mercedes-benz-superdome-is-renamed-caesars-superdome/ar-AAMs0JV

Only an exhibition game JUAN. I think they might surprise this year. At least make progress. They were 3-14 last year and I believe they will be 8-9 this year. 10-7 would not surprise me. The offense should be dynamic. The defense looks a little sketchy though.

**For those who wonder what a Yinzer is, it's a word that's used among people who identify themselves with the city of Pittsburgh. Essentially someone who is a resident or was born there.

unfortunately TJ Watt may be out for the year with a torn pectoral muscle.
Heck of a game between the Steelers and Bengals. Ecstatic the Steelers got the upset in OT, but unfortunately TJ Watt may be out for the year with a torn pectoral muscle.
Doesn't something along those lines happen to that poor bugger every year?
He's had his ailments, but nothing like his brother JJ. Those dudes play full bore every down, so injuries are bound to happen. TJ gets pulled from games at times and has missed a few. If he needs surgery his season is over. If so...massive loss for the team.
The guy was an absolute monster today.
I watched the second half and, with the OT it seemed as long as a full game. It must have been exasperating for the Bengal fans as their team was handed a win on several silver platters, but the field goal team muffed each and every kick. It was fun watching Mike Tomlin as the game ended, though. He was tickled pink to get the win.
Ahhh. I got them mixed up. Well that sucks for you.
Lions had a back that ran for 150 yards, they hung 35 points on the Eagles and still lost. LoL.
For the 17th consecutive time, the Jaguars lost to an NFC team. For the 18th consecutive time, they lost on the road.

Broncos beat themselves last night by 1 point in their opening game against the Seahawks. I think they thought that loss of yardage due to penalty after penalty was the way to win. Hmm.
Please let Trey Lance be a complete bust.
I was going to drop @ShayP a note as my Roku had an ad for the game...
Broncos are off to less than impressive start to their season.
Last home game they were beaten by the Colts in overtime. Not one TD scored throughout the entire game and the turnovers, and the fumbles, would have made for a great drinking game.
This is where they lose.
They just gave QB Russell Wilson a 5 year $245 million contract.Denver teams in general are stuck. The Rockies are nothing more than a farm team for the entire league. And the Broncs? Yeah.. not good. 'Ol Russ got it good for himself. Fuck the team, and the fans.
He appears to be pretty ordinary at this point, Seattle dumped him at the right time. Broncos are stuck.
Steelers fan here... AB was always a problem in Pittsburgh. He did so many things that coach Tomlin did not discipline him for. "We talked" is what came out of his mouth. Then another thing happens. Rinse and repeat.
AB should've been cut after he live streamed a team meeting.
He does need mental help, but I doubt he wants it. He also needs another kind of help that may be better. A severe beat down.
Oh, and what he did in that pool was ridiculous. All of his antics are.
The good people over on the Lions forum are handling today's debacle well.
Am I wrong?
If they beat the Bills

She was a 98 year old grandmother of 11 who once played badminton as a child.
Turns out she diedsuddenly after being diagnosed with stage 4 stomach cancer only 7 months earlier.
NFL Players Association’s chief medical director, Dr. Thom Mayer said that preliminary testing on Hamlin had shown no evidence of myocarditis.
Imagine that - the name total is still at zero.
Mark Davis never saw that coming?

Dwight Garner (58), University of California i American Football player in the 1980’s died in Florida of prostate cancer.
It once was in the first round of playoffs the schedule would be altered so teams from the same division wouldn't play each other for the third time that season.And for the Bengals-Ravens, they just played yesterday in Cincinnati. I guess NBC can hype it as “a time for revenge†game. ::)

You're going with Falkie as a source of information?
He should start by giving away any he owns.Local radio says he has gone viral. Have you ever gone viral?
Local radio says he has gone viral. Have you ever gone viral?
... Also, it seems to get your nippies angry every time it is mentioned.
That sounds like wishful thinking.
I would call it keen observation.
Today we remember Fabian. He diedsuddenly from liver disease. He died so suddenly they did not have time to get him out of the hospital so he could die suddenly on the pitch where he was known to be since he was a young male athlete.
We also remember Dwight Garner. He diedsuddenly of prostate cancer, very suspicious and unexplained.
Another one who gets his information from Falkie.
This is a great way to start off the new year. I haven't seen a poster cornholed this thoroughly since...well, since the last time that PB publicly wet himself.

Lauren Bernett (20), James Madison University Dukes Softball player. She died suddenly. Cause of death was recorded as “suicide†according to the medical examiner’s office.
I am sure he is still dealing with the loss of young male athlete Lauren Bernett who diedsuddenly after killing herself.
Oh my. The trend takes a sharp turn south.
Well...at least she wasn't elderly.

You have an awfully short memory, you haven't cried yourself to sleep in, what, 2 days?
Be nice!
This is very serious information the bank teller gave us!
Oh the irony. What else did Falks say?
You make fun of something I linked, while repeating some BS Falkie told you.

Speaking of baseball playing brothers...
Today we remember Jeremy Giambi, who diedsuddenly from shooting himself in the chest.
Interesting that they don't mention this, or the steroid use. Interesting, as in completely expected. Probably everyone on the list has some kind of compromising fact about their death, but unless they are a celebrity, it would be nearly impossible to research.

Third largest lead overcome. -5 turnovers and won.
How many times did they call them "San Diego?"Ha! What a choke job.
OMG, I’m coming Elizabeth.
Hmm. Guessing I should have watched the last half of the game. I switched to fights coz I figured things were in the bag - pretty much. ???
I understand, you come from a far off foreign country and don't know the history of the Chargers ownership.Speaking of the Chokers.
The Spanos family is well known for being cheap-assed mofos. Before owning the Chargers they were slumlords in cockroach infested apartment buildings along the I-15 corridor in San Diego, namely buildings that were near Mira Mesa Boulevard. Back in the 1990s, there was a website that documented the slum conditions.
As football team owners, they often got sweetheart deals from the city council with ticket guarantees that the illiterate council didn't read and favored the Chargers incredibly well. They needed to improve their marketing, their team, their performance but they did nothing to improve because they were getting so much for free from the city.
After lying to the City of San Diego and its voters, now they ride the coattails of somebody else's wealth (Stan Kroenke). This is usually accomplished along with cries of poverty or just an arrogant expectation that everybody owes them.
Speaking of the Chokers.

Well, @JUAN , it's official. Your (((JAGS))) are getting a serious shot in the arm by way of one, Nathan Rourke of my beloved BC LIONS. The kid is great and WILL perform. My hopes were that he would land in Denver, thus giving me full fuel to root for my adopted broken Broncos. But No! Guess I'll be a JAGS guy next season. 8)I haven’t found a lot of info on him, but what I found looks good. With the way Trevor has improved this year, the coaching staff clearly knows how to develop a player. That should be good for Rourke.

How about a receiver who catch a deep ball and and withot a receiver who fumbles on the three.Would help.
And a better defense. Other than the ankle, the Jag's defense couldn't get to Mahomes, especially after the ankle.Good point.
Good point.
Basically they lost as a team. Chain of broken links.
But last year they were the worst team in the league. And the year before. They still need better players.
Could it be that the fix is in?
Or maybe Reptilians from Omega 3 switched them out from humans
The Chargers are owned by a family of snakes.
At least the reptiles from Omega-3 have a good export business and provide something of value to our health food and supplements industry.
Pretty good brain work @sean92008 . Wasn't sure you would catch the Omega 3 thing. The bad joke part of your brain seems to be hanging in. Hope you have a happy, healthy new year

I'll go with the Eagles and Bengals making it to the Super Bowl. Once there, my money's on Joe Burrow.
Now that Dallas has been safely bagged up and left at the curb, I am content with any one of the remaining teams winning it all. Dallas has not won a divisional round game in 27 years. The fact that the 49ers have won the last two divisional round games between the teams on last-second clown show plays makes it even sweeter.
That said, I would like to see the Niners win, not only because they are my team, but the sight of the entire media shooting ropes of semen at the Mr. Irrelevant Wins The Super Bowl story will just be too good to miss.

An aggressive sort of fellow, with his own coffee mug.Well, ya know.. I don't like birds. I have friends with birds. The birds are assholes.
Well, ya know.. I don't like birds. I have friends with birds. The birds are assholes.

You don't get the rings until the following season.

I am still pondering why in the hell da Bears traded up to get Trubinski leaving Mahomes and Watson on the board.
Metaphorically speaking, asshat
The Chiefs are destined to be the football version of the 1960's Lakers -- always a bridesmaid.
You read it here first, poopsie pie
That's nothing. The Niners traded away two first round picks and a third round pick to get Trey Lance, a quarterback they obviously don't need, and who has played four full games in the past three years, including college. Thank goodness they didn't end up with dumb old Justin Fields, eh?
Metaphorically speaking, asshatHeh. So much for the bon mots from the hamster. :D
Did you know that "asshat" is also a metaphor?
No need for all this poetry, sugarbuns. It's just football.
You know I love you
They actually traded three First Round picks (2021, 2022 and 2023) and a Third Round pick to draft him.
You do? Send dudes please.Just stop it. You and you dudes. ::)

I don't think so. Much as I respect SF, especially that stellar D, and I respect what that young QB has accomplished, I believe his fairy tale comes crashing down at the Linc. Dallas was able to get to him. Philly WILL get to him. Reddick, Hargrave, Sweat, Graham, and Co...That boy is about to be reminded of his rookie status and is gonna be running for his life. Looking forward to a good game.
Nah. The NFL smells money in this Cinderella story. Philly doesn't have a chance.
Wish I could watch the game. Not broadcast here.
Can you stream it somehow? This is going to be a game of games! Two killer defenses, two QBs, one an mvp finalist, and the other your Cinderella story.
'Cept Cinderella 'bout to lose her virtue. That boy is walking into a buzzsaw. I'll alow, Nick Bosa is the scariest SOB out there and I believe SF is better coached. Are you sure you can't figure a way to watch this game?
'Cept Cinderella 'bout to lose her virtue. That boy is walking into a buzzsaw.
Greg Papa thinks that the way to beat the Eagles is to run, run, run. Run defence is the Eagles' Achilles heel. The Niners can do it. They have Multiple Real Dudes in McCaffrey, Samuel, and Mitchell. And that kind of attack would allow Cinderella some breathing space.
Shanahan is no fool. Watch the Niners run the ball forty times in this game.
They're a run-first team anyway.

... SF losses came from teams with mobile quarterbacks....
Yeah. The Eagles are going to have to score on every possession, which won't be easy against that defence.
Are you picking the Eagles? Let's make a bet.
God, please no 49er bonehead plays at the end, especially clock management or shit ref calls or non-calls.
Look, No matter how you want to slice it, no matter what stat you want to measure, this is one hell of a matchup.
Purdy thinks quickly and is very composed. He has yet to throw an interception in the playoffs. Shanahan gave him a ton of shit for almost letting the clock run out before throwing the ball away against Dallas. I don't foresee any stupid Dallas-like mistakes from this team and this coach.
There are four great teams in the finals, all of whom could arguably be in the Super Bowl, if not win it. This is the best time of the year for football fans, and this year will be special.
The Niners/Eagles game starts at 4:00am Monday local time. I might be able to get a video of the game by the time that I get to work. Then I have to stay the hell off the Internet for the rest of the day. Fingers crossed.
“Cowboys edge defender Micah Parsons sent an interesting tweet in the aftermath of his team’s playoff loss to the 49ers.
“Besides mahomes, every team in the final 4 Qb is on a rookie deal and surrounded by talent! Mhmm interesting take!†he tweeted.â€
It generated news because it appeared to be a shot at Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (which Parsons later denied). But really it provides a good opportunity to delve into the matter of whether paying big money to a quarterback does more harm than good...â€

Yes, exactly, when a team has to pay a QB $30-40 million, under a salary cap system they can then afford many fewer stars or even mid-level players.visitors can't see pics , please register or login
A non-QB centric system like the 49ers may be the future.

And the NFL draft is two weeks from Thursday. I read a clip that it has required multiple surgeries, per his agent. It was a multi car accident apparently.
Jalen Carter falls into the Lions lap and they weasel and trade the pick. Holmes the GM seems to know what he is doing but I would have pulled the trigger there.
I would not touch Jalen Carter with a ten foot pole. He has Jamarcus Russell written all over him.
Quite possible. If not the Eagles just got even better.
Then Lions take a RB that they really don't need that most had pegged as a 2nd rounder. The boys over on the Lions forum are taking it well. LoL
The Lions had a winning record and it frightened them. They need to get back to the safety and security of the cellar.
I think that the Eagles can afford to gamble. Makes sense for them.PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF HAHAHA

Looking forward to cheering on the JAGS this coming season. Gotta Believe! Right @JUAN ?There are lots of Florida Gator fans in JAX. They are the most bipolar fans in football - giddy and intimidating when winnng and attackingly defensive when losing. Just mention “4th and Dumb†around a Gator fan and he or she will turn into a screaming, weeping mess. The phrase refers to the 1976 Georgia/Florida game when Florida on their own 20 went for it on 4th down. Georgia stopped them, went in for a score, and won the game. Don’t even breathe “Run Lindsey.†Lately they’ve been very depressed.

They’ve carried these attitudes over to the Jaguars, so after the draft with no star players selected, the fans here have emptied their anti-depression medication bottles.

I am sure a few precious little twats will be offended by this, too.
I can't imagine the level of twatness it takes to be so shook up about how and where a company decides to spend a couple of advertising dollars.
And you felt exactly the same with every other boycott or refusal to buy product due to politics for the past 50 years, right?
... The only boycott I would supports is boycotting stores that sell clothes for fat people.
Allow clothing up to XL, if are bigger than that then no fucking clothes for you.
Only exceptions are tall people.
Your kids go to Walmart and see XXXL and BOOM! they're groomed by the fatties.
Lol. Ok, but lets think this through - they clearly don't care all that much how they present, so what's going to keep them from running the streets in the buff? No one wants to see that!
@KSM - your boy Roark got into the Jaguars from mid 3rd quarter until the end of the game. He’s got some real talent, though playing with the scrubs he had to do a lot of improvising. Ran for one TD, passed for another, and threw for a two point conversion.YES!! Talk about timing! I was just wondering how I'm going to watch the Jags this season. ESPN or NFL TV.. @JUAN thanks for the news. Much appreciated.
Here's Roark's TD pass if you haven't seen it.

Too bad he signed with the wrong Florida team. Miami might have provided more opportunity and Tampa Bay much more so.He WAS in Denver several months ago but the Broncs diddle-daddled and he got away. We really could have used him here. But fine, I'm a JAGS guy now. ;D
Jags first game of the season is 09/10 vs The Colts. @JUAN that's a sunny Sunday game. :)But at Indy, so under the dome. I'm concerned about the defense.
But at Indy, so under the dome. I'm concerned about the defense.I do not know enough about the defense to be worried. Guessing now that I should be.. :-\
Roark is signed to the Jaguar practice squad. Probably the best thing for his with Petersen coaching quarterbacks.@JUAN I don't know enough about the background NFL shuffling's and protocol.

@JUAN I don't know enough about the background NFL shuffling's and protocol. I assume that's a good thing? The practice squad? ESPN isn't showing anything until 9/10 so I'm in the dark until then.Yes, a good thing. As the preseason went along it became clear he doesn't really understand NFL offenses and this will give him a chance to learn.

It is a good thing in that he is still playing ball and getting paid to do so. $12k a week for 18 weeks. It would have been better if another team plucked him off of waivers and put them on the roster. Then he'd have a shot at getting in a real game. That just happened where the Panthers cut QB Matt Corral and the Patriots claimed him and put himon their main roster. I'm no expert but your guy looks more interesting than Corral to me. Patriots certainly need QB help.
Yes, a good thing. As the preseason went along it became clear he doesn't really understand NFL offenses and this will give him a chance to learn.Yeah, hopefully he'll learn.
Stream 1010xl.com online. 10AM eastern is a two hour all jaguar show.
I think he can. He has the problem a lot of young, athletic quarterbacks have. When he feels pressure he starts grinning around rather than staying in the pocket. He's phenomenally accurate with his passes.You make a certain point, and it's a good one. A lot of the CFL QB's (even veterans) tend to do that. It was once explained to me why CFL QB's have a tendency to do so. It has something to do within the CFL game itself, but I cannot recall what I was told as it was many years ago. If that is his only problem, I think you're right. He'll figure it out sooner than later I suspect. And being young in the NFL game from the CFL would be a factor I would think. Boy needs to get his learn on!
Walks, how about those Lions! Great game!
After the Lions wasted Calvin Johnson's career, I swore them off. Life was good. Mama Ford finally hired a GM that isn't a lunatic nor an idiot and lo and behold there is hope. I'll admit that they have suckered me in. Watched the whole game. They looked pretty solid. It won't end well of course but I've bought my one way ticket to midnight.
That defense really tightened up when it needed to. KC made too many mistakes. I live right smack in the middle of Chiefs Nation and I can tell you as an Eagles fan, it is nice to see the KC fanbase served a piece of blue and silver humble pie. You guys have really got something good with that head coach. Onward to the next game!
I didn't watch the game, but weren't there quite a few drops - including one that deflected for an interception.
Did any of that affect the outcome in a very tight game, i.e. should we wait and see on the Lions, because, you know, Lions?
Dammit, @Walks_At_Night the Jaguar get KC next week. Thanks for pissing them off.Colts on Sunday.
The first game of the season! That was fun!
The NFL has always been greedy. What about Sunday Ticket? What does that get you?Sunday ticket is an option, yes. More supporting google ::) I may have to do that though.
Can't watch NFL games on ESPN. WTF!? Was really looking forward to the Jag/Colts game today, and now I'll have to tune in some online radio stream and LISTEN to the game like some kind of savage! More and more, ESPN is absolutely useless to have. ESPN is now some sort of middle-man. Pointless. You can't watch MLB unless you have an MLB.TV subscription, so why the EFF would you watch it on ESPN rather than the MLB network!!?? And now it's the same with the NFL. The greed in major league sports ??? :o ::)
Enjoy the game @JUAN Go Jags.
Stop watching sports. It stopped being fun a long time ago, which was supposed to be the point of it. The examples and reasons we can point to are endless.I hear ya'...

You should broaden your horizons, you grumpy old sod. There are shortly going to be not one, but two world cups (!!!). One is the rugby world cup (that's a game played by men, not cissies covered in protective equipment), while the other is the cricket world cup, which is a more intellectual and demanding form of baseball.
Internet Doc thinks it might be an achilles injury. Not cool.

Alexander Mattison supposedly had a bad sportsball game last night.
He's making news because he says people are saying racist things to him.
Because of so many who have lied about this bullshit of late, I don't believe him. I won't believe any claims from anyone because of the lies of their predecessors.
Jessy Smollet sent them
He's on the practice squad - meaning he attends team meetings, gets coaching, and some practice time. And he gets paid.
He's on the practice squad - meaning he attends team meetings, gets coaching, and some practice time. And he gets paid.So he's going to waste. I'm sure he knows the game well enough by now.
...and hopes the Jets come get him!Further north.
So he's going to waste. I'm sure he knows the game well enough by now.
He should have stayed up north. But who knows..
Further north.
OK, what do you mean by that @Walks_At_Night Are the Jets a factor somehow?
Fuck. I wish @TigerLily were here. Maybe she knows something.
Trevor Lawrence was injured in the last game. If he can't play Roark would be moved to the active roster and be the backup - mostly holding the clipboard.OOOOoooooo ;D Okay! Let's hope the injury stands. :P
He's been elevated to the active roster just in case.
We may see him on TV holding the clipboard, or giving someone an ''attaboy'' as they run off the field.
I will make a wild guess that the Raiders, the cowboys, New England and the Steelers will not be going to the super bowl for this season. The 49ers will be going to the Super Bowl.Give Miller our regards

William Clay Ford Sr., grandson of Henry Ford and owner of the Detroit Lions before his death designed the logo that is appearing on the Lions helmets in tonights game. He came up with the design in the 1960's but it has never appeared on a helmet until now. An interesting and totally useless fact.

Why would anyone be anything else? It's not like the team or the players give a shit about you.You're reading far too much into my comment. She, and I, were rooting for them yesterday as we both loathe the Raiders. I suspect that we both bailed on the game as the continuous spanking by the Raiders unfolded. Oh, I know, the San Diego Chargers were run out of town only to be adopted like a one-armed-red-headed stepchild by LA, but they're people too. Even though they're looooosers.
If a team isn't contending or rebuilding, what are we doing?
... Going to be a Chiefs / Ravens Superbowl.
That's a bold prediction considering they are both in the AFC. Not to mention KC trading so many people away so they could pay the QB and stay under the cap.Wait. I meant to say Dolphins. Not Chiefs.
But you're half right, baring injury it'll be the two best teams, SF & Baltimore - Christmas Night preview.
Wait. I meant to say Dolphins. Not Chiefs.
The Dolphins have roughly the same odds of facing the Ravens in the SB as the BC Lions.
I meant the Alberta Fat Alberts.
BTW This years Lions would have beat the Dolphins.

In a Hail Mary pass the Bronco's are seemingly doing the right thing and benching Russel Wilson for the next two games due to the last three losses! No harm in doing so when you simply cannot rely on your multi-million-dollar-guy. Next up for the horses, the oh-so lowly Chargers this coming Sunday.
Some rumblings that he is not long for Denver football.
No shit!?! I thought Wilson was having a good season.Had his moments, and then he didn't. Then he had his moments again, but then he stopped having "moments again" and eventually the amount of counterproductive moments began to drastically outshine and outnumber the amount of 'yay' type moments. You follow?
I understand he gets a huge amount of money if he gets a certain number of snaps. He's not there yet and won't be if he sits the rest of the season.He already has a huge amount of money with nowhere near the amount of moments required to justify such a hefty fee.

How awesome was the LA/Detroit game? I love the Rams but I had really bad feelings about the way they treated Goff. And what do my bewildering eyes perceive? Rams vs. Lions. I really really really wanted Detroit to win!Lotta flip-flopping with you. Can you not just go down with the good ship Ram? I'm a Rams fan and will not jump onto the back of the Lions just to feel like my team won. Glad you enjoyed it.
I thought I would settle down and get my senses back. So many Rams players I love. Matt's playing hurt. Puka is adorable. Donald is the Man. But the crowd was screaming for Goff and flipping the Rams off. So much electricity through the whole game. A real Battle of the Quarterbacks. And the best man won. Beautiful, Sweet, Revenge. And Goff was a total gentleman. Talked (off mike) about he came back to Detroit totally broken. And all he said for the cameras was it was a team effort. Yeah. Last night I was a Detroit Lions fan 🦁

That was a good game. I love the way Matthew Stafford zings his passes. The ball is fired like a bullet from the barrel of a gun and if you look closely, there is never any wobble to it. Goff is doing great, but I can't help but wonder how he and the other players will perform if faced with an early attack such as the Packers showed us yesterday. Speaking of which, Dak Prescott picked a horrible time to exhibit his Russell Wilson imitation. I liked the Chiefs - Dolphins game. I see a team that is building to a peak at just the right time. I really like Coach Andy Reid. He was nice enough to pose for one of the camera operators, showing off his icicle covered mustache. It made me chuckle.

If you account for wind chill, the Freezer Bowl (Chargers-Bengals) was the coldest at -59F.
Forrest Gregg was an offensive tackle for the Packers in the earlier one, and head coach of the Bengals in the latter. That's a rather frigid distinction.

Haha, love that! It's ''us'' when we win, and ''them'' when they lose.
My guess is everyone in Detroit is on the Lions bandwagon, and the Pistons aren't getting much play - other than in passing about them sucking.
Oh yeah. Most successful Lions squad of my lifetime and I'm well over 50.
Don't forget the 12-4 1991 squad that lost to the Redskins in the NFC championship game. I maintain that Barry Sanders was the most entertaining player I've ever seen, and he rarely opened his mouth. Herman Moore was another eventual monster on that team, though that was his rookie year.
... I'm not a big basketball guy and haven't followed the Pistons in forever but this year has sucked me in and I have folllowed them pretty closely. It is just not that they lose but it is the variety of ways that they find to do so that is fascinating.
I'm the same with the Warriors here. Didn't watch any of it when they were winning championships, but am fascinated now watching how the team and the fans deal with the winding down of the 'dynasty'.
Plus you have all that A's drama. Where will they play in 2024? SLC? Sacremento? Back to the Coliseum?
I don't even know. Aren't they going to Vegas?
Some year they will. The Tropicana on the Strip has to be pulled down first and then the new park has to be built. I *think* they were looking at a 2028 opening. The A's have the Coliseum rented for some ridicously low figure for 2024. Do they swallow the acrimony and stay this year or GTFO and find a temporary home?

Harbaugh to Chargers. Good fucking luck. Their owners are goddamn motherfuckers.
I was jealous of course, but I'd still like to see the Chiefs go all the way. The big test is Sunday. The Eagles could end it all for the Chiefs, unless KC can hurt Hurts. By that I mean mentally, not physically. Jalen has a hard time escaping from the blues, which he might get from being sacked several times. Patrick doesn't seem to get as upset, which is why he performs so well in the closing minutes of a tight game.
Harbaugh to Chargers. Good fucking luck. Their owners are goddamn motherfuckers.
1%'er living in San Diego. He'll be fine.
Too bad they're playing the Ravens. The way they looked last week KC won't beat them.
Thanks, PB, I mixed both the teams and the quarterbacks up! Yeah, Baltimore...they do look pretty strong, and Lamar is a much better quarterback than Hurts.

For a moment there I thought you were time traveler John Titor and was communicating with us from last years SuperBowl ;)Ha, no...To be honest with you, I can never remember who won the last Super bowl or World Series for that matter. Happily, I can remember the last World Cup winner. Messi and the Argentina team over France. And France was the winner four years before that, but please don't ask me who they beat. That little bit of information is long gone with the wind.

I keep hearing this is the biggest game in Detroit sports history.
It seems like a case of recency bias. I get that the NFL is the most popular game in town in most places, but that wasn't always the case. I'm no expert on Detroit sports history, but I remember several NBA championships, a couple times the Tigers won the World Series, and quite a few Stanley Cups. It's been awhile and I can see how the youngest fans would think that. If the 9ers weren't in it, I'd be for the Lions too, and would be for them if they somehow win today and move on.
... To me this is the biggest game in Detroit pro sports history - Game 7 of the '68 World Series where Mickey Lolich wins his third game of the series and shoves it right up Bob Gibson [coming off the best year a pitcher ever had] and the Cardinals ass..
... As far as I'm concerned, as soon as the clock shows 0:00, whether it's Sunday or in two weeks, win or lose, the DC should be fired...
Well that was unfortunate, eh? *SIGH*
Sorry man. I really thought Detroit was going to get it done.
I'm sad about the Lions.
Their TV audience was too small and their fan base toocheappoor.
You sure it wasn't more about a sequence of bad luck and bad bounces - not kicking a FG on 4th down then going for it and not picking up the first down, the Aiyuk reception off the defender's facemask, a couple crucial dropped passes - one in the end zone, Purdy's runs for first downs, and the fumble?
Did you think the refs job them?
So now I guess we still have to see Taylor Swift until the seasons end.
Go Chiefs! GO!
I'm sad about the Lions.

Oh please. Raiders. Cowboys. Patriots. 49ers. The Chiefs wouldn't even register if not for the PDAs from one of the players and his pop star GF during games.GO CHIEFS.
GO CHIEFS.
You know, 9rs don't stand a chance. Seriously.
GO CHIEFS.
You know, 9rs don't stand a chance. Seriously.
I'm always looking at a quarterback's mindset when it comes to the super bowl. Purdy has never been under such intense exposure and no telling how he will react. Thus far he has handled the pressure fairly well, but Mahomes has been there before, and I think that he will prevail.
GO CHIEFS.
You know, 9rs don't stand a chance. Seriously.
GO CHIEFS.
You know, 9rs don't stand a chance. Seriously.
Let's take a look at the Chiefs wins and losses during the season
Wins:
Jags
Bears
Jets
Viks
Broncos
Chargers
Dolphins
Raiders
Patriots
Bengals
Chargers
A couple good wins, Vikings, Miami was the only team to make the playoffs they beat in the regular season
Losses:
Lions
Broncos
Eagles
Packers
Bills
Raiders
A championship team should have done better against Lions, Eagles, Packers, Bills.
So 1-4 vs playoff teams during the season. The win was against a 6th seed, the losses were to #2, 3, 5, and 7 seeds.
SF had trouble in both their playoff games, but found ways to win. KC beat the Dolphins 26-7, Bills by that missed FG, and the Ravens by a TD - mostly because the Ravens played like punks. I would not have picked them if I knew they had OBJ and Clowney on their team AND relied on a bunch of young players - dumb rookies like Flowers with his horrible taunting penalty are influenced by these guys.
So I'm not seeing the KC dominance. The 49ers were the best team in the NFL all year - if they play their normal game, they'll win.
I have $200 on the Chiefs. It WILL payoff. You'll see.
Yes, it'll pay off for someone...far as I know we are friends.
PS, I thought we were friends. You want to bet on the Chefs and call someone else?
Since I'm not following very closely and I've been hearing a lot of talk about the big game on radio, I was kind of under the impression of might have been this week, er today... I was hoping it was today so that I can do my Costco, gas , and maybe some Home Depot and automotive tool shopping.
Something else, that girlfriend of Brock Purdy, I think with the white bodysuit, why doesn't Taylor Swift wear something like that. My guess is that she's got Spanx in her leotards. She is getting old at 34 years old and I'm sure she's had to cut back on the cocaine.
I have barely seen the Niners play this year. Some disagreement between the provider and local San Diego DirecTV CBS affiliate. Someone finally blinked just two weeks ago. The only player I recognize is George Kittle The Unstoppable. I don't even know Brock Purdy.
I'm thinking the Chiefs will win but I just hope it is a scary close hard fought bloody good show. Uh, who invited Usher? I think it's time for some Metal Thrash during Halftime. Or Taylor Swift (voice enhanced)
The 49ers have something like eight of the highest paid players at their position. Other than Kittle you may remember guys like Christian McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel, Fred Warner, Trent Williams, Nick Bosa, Chase Young from previous years or maybe college ball.
As far as the SB, I've seen very few of them. Even when I was a sports nut and watched tons of games, by the time we got to the playoffs and SB I was tired of football. New Year's Day, Superbowl Sunday, Thanksgiving, and Christmas are the four absolute best days of the year to go hiking / mountain biking - non-summer days when even the cold weather folks are inside doing other things. I've seen all the SBs the 49ers played in though.
Anyway, as far as Usher, won't see it. I've been sucked back into watching a few FB games here and there last year and this year, I record them and start watching maybe an hour after the start, if not that evening, buzzing past all the commercials and non-action talking from the ''analysts''. It's great, I can rewind and watch certain plays as many times as I want. For the SB make that an hour and a half or two hours.
Yes. Of course all those guys came back to me as soon as I saw them again. I have a DVR so I watch games like you do. Zip past commercials, overlong commentary, halftime analysis. Even a full quarter when warranted. And of course can replay a replay if I want. Makes for a much more enjoyable game. I also have a no chatting rule during games. I am a football Nazi. I would be bereft after the season is over but ole what's-his-name-turned me on to the CFL. Very enjoyable. Has a mom and apple pie feeling to the games. But then on my stations the games started to get pre-empted by high school games and bowling. That was not nice
... Uh, who invited Usher?...
I can hear you; I'm standing right fuckin here.
Quiet, we're watching the game.You and @TigerLily sitting on the same couch watching the game together. LOL!!
You and @TigerLily sitting on the same couch watching the game together. LOL!!
Interesting that she calls herself a football nazi. Usually we're the nazis. ;D
Nazi can be used as an expression for an uncommon, unhealthy obsession which may be dangerous to self or others. I am a football Nazi one day a year. Others can be political Nazis when they have fallen.under the sway of a criminal con man, like Hitler, and are willing to do his bidding even if it endangers themselves, their fellow citizens and go against the very fabric of the Constitution
Apparently 64% of the bets in Vegas are on KC, but 84% of the sharp money (big wagers) is on SF.
I was thinking about the super bowl when I fell asleep last night. I dreamt that I was driving a car up a busy street. It was night and the road was slick. To top it all off, I had no brakes, and the car began to go backwards. It was a steep street and I backed into some cars. I counted four distinct impacts. I could clearly hear the sounds of breaking headlight glass and crumpling sheet metal. After I woke up, I started to think about it. I looked the dream up and couldn't get any meaning out of it in regards to the super bowl game. It only applied to myself, the past, and regrets I might have in life. But then I had the thought that the street was a 'Street of San Francisco' so the 49ers! I'm not sure what the number four signifies, possibly touchdowns, or field goals? Who knows? Or which team is the 'car running backwards' for that matter. I do remember pulling off the street at the end of the dream. I drove onto a dirt road and was surrounded by tall, dark trees.
Racist.CHEEEEEEFS!!!!!!!
Racist.
I see a nasty ankle injury in my minds eye, but which player it will be, I can't say.
Going to the half. Not interested. Chiefs playing like ass.
Did Taylor Swift blowing the whole team suck all their energy out?

That makes no sense at all. Another reason why I ask the question. Maybe since @PolkaDot is back I should just turn the whole lot of you over to her. She will not be sweet and tolerant like meYou are correct and also please don't.
The Superbowl was watched by a lot of people. The NFL semes to know what they are doing
Football comment first: How under any circumstances would you want the ball first under these overtime rules. I get that the 49ers were on defense a lot during the end of the 4th and might want the extra rest, but the advantage of having the ball second and knowing exactly what you need to either tie or win a game is so HUGE that I can't even think of any scenario you wouldn't want the ball second. The old rules (TD on first drive ends the game) makes sense to go first but these new rules that everyone has to have a full turn with the ball, it's not even a hindsight thing, you just go second know how much you need to do to tie or win...
... Non Football comment: It a bit of a sight to see Conservatives cheering against a Midwest team from a ruby red state with a possible unwoke/offensive team name, because a white football star with a short haircut is dating a popular white chick who looks like a lead cheerleader. I swear if I would have wrote erotic fiction for Conservatives, this would be the scenario ;D If that's not enough they start cheering for cities like Detroit, Baltimore and SAN FRANCISCO lol it's like Fox News' axis of evil cities.
The local talk show boys are already lining up scapegoats in case the 49ers lose to the Lions. The rankings seem to be, in order, DC Wilkes...
As far as I'm concerned, as soon as the clock shows 0:00, whether it's Sunday or in two weeks, win or lose, the DC should be fired...
Has a defensive coordinator ever been fired in game?
I can't take this guy's defense schemes anymore.
... The 49er defense can't take a quarter off like they did against the Pack, and can't wait until the 2nd half to get it going like they did against Detroit. If they do, they lose...
Well, that was a waste of time. Their incompetent DC had to be overruled by the head coach the second time he had the D lined up in a giveaway formation on that final Chief's drive. At midseason this guy was so bad Shanahan publicly ripped him during a presser the next day following a loss he caused, yanked him from the booth, and told him to stay on the field. Should have replaced him then. They just love hiring minority coaches so they can get extra picks when someone else hires them away. May have cost them a SB...
FIFY. It's what they really meant.
"This morning I relieved Steve Wilks of his duties," Niners coach Kyle Shanahan said in a conference call Wednesday that was scheduled just 10 minutes before it happened. "[We're] going to end up making a change here at defensive coordinator. A really tough decision, because [it] really says nothing about Steve as a man or as a football coach. I mean, he's exactly what we wanted as a man of color. He is a great football coach as a black man.
"But just where we're going and where we're at with our team from a scheme standpoint and things like that, looking through it all throughout the year to these last few days, I felt pretty strongly that this was a decision that was best for the organization."
... "I think he does a great job with the back end, and obviously we had some issues this year throughout the year," Bosa said.
But not the front seven, Nick?

Maybe they will have a black Super Bowl with their own anthem and everything. Along with the Xs and Os, they have checkboxes as well.
Is one of your kids taking a BBC in the butt or is this an issue that dates further back?No, he's right about this. The stupid fuckers insist on segregating themselves like the victims they are so content to be. They're not from America, they're from Blackland so they need their own anthem. Have you heard the song? It's GD horrible.

Based black folks cringe at this shit. < I have first hand knowledge of that, tell you what!
"The league installed a new rule to motivate teams to develop minority coaches and executives in 2020, rewarding any team with two third-round compensatory picks if a minority candidate is hired away from their franchise to become another team's head coach or GM. If a team has candidates hired away for both positions, it receives three total picks.
Since its inception, five San Francisco candidates have been hired for head coaching or general manager positions. By the end of the 2024 draft, they will have received a league-high eight third-round compensatory picks in return for losing those coaches and executives.
"I try to hire people that I've worked with that are prepared for it and fortunately, that's worked out well for me," San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan said about the league's minority hiring issues when asked three years ago. "I've got a Muslim coordinator; we've got a Black coordinator. We have a lesbian on our staff. We have everything, and it's not just to show people that we're trying to be diverse. It's just because I've been around these people, and they are really good at what they do. We can't win without these people and that's just how it works out."

That lesbian they had on staff now works for a small university near where I live. She coaches a very successful college woman's flag football team.i=57hBXIcbxll3U0xN
They're probably the best-coached flag football team in the whole neighborhood.::)
::)
I think they've won three national titles.

Nosir, sweats and jerseys in this case.
Meh. Would rather watch Pro Wiffle Ball then.
It seems both of you have been humbled by a BBC, Falkie jail style.Nope, you're just a raging pussified liberal half-man who'd suck Justin's ass if given the chance. I would never expect you to see things in any other light. Keep on being you. We're all counting on it.

I get that you are retarded.Hahahaha
Really, I get it.
I lived through MLB doing their minority hiring and putting Frank Robinson in as manager so he could sleep on the bench all season.
The fucker just zonked out for a bit, woke up and booked his tee time for the next morning.
I always loved this Jim Rome clip about it - https://voca.ro/1gkazoZjDCKX
Being unretarded, I dont blame Frank for being hired, he made some great cash for doing nothing.
I also get you are angry because your wife told you she was going south of the border and you thought she would stop at just one border but ended up going the extra border and fucking a Mexican.
I get your anger, honey child.
I can't imagine how emasculated you must feel losing out to a Mexican and knowing he is playing La Bamba on your wife and your Les Paul... WHICH HE RESTRUNG WITH MANLY 0.010s AND NOT YOUR EFFEMINATE . 008s!
Hahahaha
Looking for low blows that don't exist.
Hollly triggered Bartamus! You got angry!! NICE!!
Keep it comin' dummy!
See? Now we're acting like a real board.
If I hurts your feelings any further will I be banned? ;D
008s!tHAT'S IT?
tHAT'S IT?
You emptied that toolbox REAL QUICK!
Love it when we fight! :)
See you in the shower later. :o
...... WHICH HE RESTRUNG WITH MANLY 0.010s AND NOT YOUR EFFEMINATE . 008s!
008s!
I suspected that Jimmy Page was a poofter.
🙄🙄🙄
And I use 009s!!
Typical insecure male upsizing!Hehe I like the sound of 009s on a Paul.
Hehe I like the sound of 009s on a Paul.
I didn't believe .008s sounded good until someone handed me his guitar... Ham-handed playing like mine needs the extra tension to avoid buzzing out.It's rare, but on some guitars 008s!!!! sound and play better. I once posted about two years ago that I strung my Godin Freeway classic with 8s! Apparently, he, Bart the swiftie has hung on to that little tidbit like a bullet, just waiting for the chance to blast me with it.

Amputations due to frostbite? How cold does it have to get before people decide it's not worth it to sit through the game?
