I'll be missing most of the games today: I'm off to a yoga expo and then an evening 10K. But I'll check in on my phone, and I am counting on yinz to condole me when it is confirmed that my team fucked up and missed the playoffs.
Now that I think of it, everybody (everybody who matters, i.e. team owners) must already know this going in. Since the NFL is a not-for-profit entity, like the Red Cross or Doctors Without Borders, the revenue generated by the moves will of course go to worthy charities.
a Texas native son comes home to play for the big D- the story practically writes itself. Plus, Manziel will fit right in with Hardy and the legacy of thugs and hoodlums that are the Cowgirls. Besides- they really need a QB that doesn't end up on IR when anyone looks at him wrong
"Ragnar" can please politely go fuck himself. I never liked him and thought it was stupid that some jackass on a motorcycle should be allowed to drive around on a football field.
Philip Rivers is a man of poor character. This is revealed in his bizarre throwing motion.
The joke here is that we would not want to play cribbage with Philip Rivers. He seems like the type of fellow who would throw the board across the room and flip the table over before storming out.
It's not looking good for the ol' SparkleKarens, even with Carson Palmer out of the game. Thank you vodka, shel and everyone for a fun season and congratulations to Felonious Monk and the Mighty Baton Rouge Fish Bladders!
*shakes fist, yells at clouds* "MOOOOOOOOONK!!!!!"
Just saw a local teevee ad for a place called Abel Funeral Services. Naming your funeral parlor after the first murder victim in the (Biblical) world? Stay classy, Arizona.
Good heavens. I'm staying with my brother in England, so I haven't been paying attention. I see it's been a damn close-run thing. Let me add my thanks to Shelwood and Vodka for putting it together, all the league members for the thrill of competition, and all Villagers for the pleasure of your company. Oh yeah: also, woohoo!
Shoot me an email (through the ESPN site) so I can have an address to send your FLEENER! (Within the continental United States, preferably, but whatever works for you…)
Damnit, I just tried it on, and it fits perfectly and is really comfy and warm.
Don't worry. YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SEE ME IN THIS.
I can see you from here. Basically it's a safety shirt.
So much yellow! (On the plus side, the big PACKERS falls perfectly above, not across, my nipple line, which probably wasn't intentional but is preferable.)
It's always awkward to have bent lettering.
It's probably safe for deer hunting season, although I would recommend one of those blaze orange hats with the ear flaps to complete the ensemble.
We used to joke that blaze orange was the unofficial Packer color. It would always be amusing when Tampa Bay was in the Central and would play a game at Lambeau, and the announcers would think all the people in orange were Buc fans. (Though that still doesn't top the time Howard Cosell genuinely though the local hospital, St. Vincent's, was named after Lombardi.)
when Tampa Bay was in the Central and would play a game at Lambeau,
Yeah, because Tampon fans have always traveled so well, especially to the great white north. (I remember those years. I remember being really confused, as a kid, about why a team from Florida was in the NFC Central. I also remember being grateful that they were because that usually meant two easy wins for us!)
Anyhoo, sorry about the division title. I'm sure the Vikes will lose promptly to Seattle and the Pack will get their revenge by destroying that team from Washington.
I am pretty sure the Pack will go one and out if they keep playing this way, but am glad your guys have to face Seattle (I'm sorry!).
Yes. I am super looking forward to this game against Seattle. Care to wager? My guess is 45 to 3, Seattle. I will bet you fifteen Christian Ponder jerseys plus one Vikings era Percy Harvin jersey. Anything to offer?
I just noticed their Vikings sweater. It says "1966" on it for some fucking reason. The Vikings were borned in 1961, not 1966. (According teh wikis, the Vikes went 4-9-1 in '66.) Don't get no damn respect, I tellzya.
Cheers! Have a pint on me! Of course, I won't actually pay for it… but, if you humble brag at your local pub, maybe someone will buy you one? Anyhoo, congratulations again!
OK, but it was going to be a half-marathon until the organizers moved the start time of that race from 6 PM to 8 PM (because of some event downtown that they didn't specify what exactly it WAS.) They let me switch to the 10K online, so I still got something out of it, which is good. But I think next year I'll stick to staying at the yoga expo for the day as that was fantastic. Namaste!
moi aussi. The kids are out of the house. There is no reason I can't spare an hour or so a day. Swim, bike, run, gym in no particular order. Quit drinking four years ago, dropped 40 lbs. (15% body fat), off medications, meditate — the fountain of youth.

eta : Thanks.

Also too, I'll give dem Dawgs credit for doing something good…
Good for you Cally. I find 10Ks 5K too much, but then I'm an olde.
I have squids, monkeys, and Kirby to watch, so I'll just stick with Packers-Vikings for today when it comes to football.
Sadly not on ether teevee here. Go Pack.

They moved it to be the 8:30 (EST) game tonight, so it should be on NBC.

what a clusterfuck
Now that I think of it, everybody (everybody who matters, i.e. team owners) must already know this going in. Since the NFL is a not-for-profit entity, like the Red Cross or Doctors Without Borders, the revenue generated by the moves will of course go to worthy charities.
Of course, they need all those dollars for their many "awareness" campaigns. We are aware of so many things now.
Where is Johnny Football?
Packing his bags for Dallas to become the favorite son of Jerry Jones
America's
TeamMost Wanted.The NFL always manages to have one team that becomes the Island of Misfit Toys. For years, it was Oakland, but you're right, it's Dallas now.

They'd just have to hope for a lot of Thursday and Monday games because Johnny has plans every Saturday night.

Even mascot things are getting crazy in the Vikings-Packers rivalry.
Do not cross Ragnar.
"Ragnar" can please politely go fuck himself. I never liked him and thought it was stupid that some jackass on a motorcycle should be allowed to drive around on a football field.
Jets lose! Happy day for Cally!
Thanks honey. Still can't believe their lick!
Lunch break just in time to see my team pulled it off after all. This will be interesting indeed…

LOL As if the fans needed more reasons to hate Chip Kelly.
Anybody else watching The Triumphant Return of Peyton Manning?
It's better than that Arizona-Seattle game. That thing was pathetic.
If my Donkeys can hold on, they apparently get a bye week and home field advantage for the playoffs. So I'm a bit pumped.
They'll still probably lose in the first round…
Wow. With KC just winning, Denver could be either the #1 or #5 seed.
Rivers throws an INT! (Now he'll be really angry.)
Philip Rivers is a man of poor character. This is revealed in his bizarre throwing motion.

Arrrghhh..Talib(an) does it again. This could be the third game he's blown.

CONGRATS!
Damn. I guess I'll have to go back to the TJ Maxx in Duluth and see if they still have some discounted Christian Ponder jerseys.
My ex got me [this sweater] for Christmas and I'm not sure if I should be pleased or dismayed.
That's…busy.
I'm kind of afraid to try it on.
We may never find you again.
Damnit, I just tried it on, and it fits perfectly and is really comfy and warm.
Don't worry. YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SEE ME IN THIS.
I can see you from here. Basically it's a safety shirt.

Congrats, Monk! Global Fleening!

Every time I hear the name Micah Hyde, I think of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XN5kVvR8VQI
I will post my perennial – "IS THIS SHIT STILL GOING ON!?!!?"
Football is eternal.
FINALLY got back just in time to see that this Vikings – Packers game is a good one. Glad my dogs are the patient type!
The Packers clearly felt that I had given up in disgust and switched over to my attempt to rewatch all of The X-Files before the new series starts.
I missed the season premiere of Downton Abbey for this?
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
(blushes upon realization that she made yet another typo on the phone)
Heart rate elevation every day! yeah!
Yes, baseball takes 2 whole months off of being on tv every single day, but it's football that's always on. Right.
This is going to blow your mind, but things you don't watch still exist. Shh, don't tell anyone.
OK, but it was going to be a half-marathon until the organizers moved the start time of that race from 6 PM to 8 PM (because of some event downtown that they didn't specify what exactly it WAS.)
