Winter just hit Michigan (real America) this morning and holy fuck I hate real America. I'm out for a smoke and I'm shivering so hard, the shivers are drawing in the smoke for me.
"I put my hands down in my pants as far as I could put 'em in the groin area," Reeves said with a laugh. "We shifted from I-formation, and I shifted over to the left [in a split backfield]. At the last second, I took my hands out of my pants. Because I knew I had to throw the football, and I've gotta be able to feel that thing. So that was my equipment."
Stealers vs Donkeys next week in Denver. Cally, you're wonderful but this is sportsball. More important than friendship, loyalty, sportsmanship, rules, ordinances against spousal abuse, chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or building a new sewage treatment plant so my city doesn't just pump nearly-raw sewage farther out into the Pacific Ocean.
And as long as we're talking about the NFL, there's this from the LA Times:
The current stadiums in Oakland, St. Louis and San Diego are "unsatisfactory and inadequate," and the proposed solutions are not viable to keep the Raiders, Rams and Chargers in their home markets, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a report distributed Saturday to all 32 teams…
The report does not give teams the green light to move to Los Angeles — that will be determined by owners' voting — but establishes that the home markets have failed to provide stadium solutions.
tl;dr: looks like we may be getting at least one team here that no one cares about (except for the greedy owners) FFS…
You're in LA or some SoCal place, right? Can I come live with you? The wind is blowing so hard off the Detroit River, I can feel it blowing through the windows.
I can't wait for the summer Olympics, although it will SUCK that I won;t be able to read the news anywhere (except Wonkette because news organizations fucking INSIST on publishing spoilers. FFS, how hard would it be to keep that shit off the main page and have a link "Click here for updates" so I don't have to be completely ignorant of what is happening in the world for two weeks?
It sure is, which is why I would STFU about the NFL while there. Besides, I don't hate the Browns on anywhere near the level at which I despise the Bengals…
That was actually pretty impressive of the Packers' defense. Hope they can hold things up until A-Aron gets his shit together.
It appears we're gonna get another defensive lead, smashmouth football game
Yay! <snore>
There is a certain beauty to it, though I admit they're not as fun to watch as the offensive circus games. It's like watching a pitcher's duel in baseball- to the uninitiated it can look like nothing is going on. The casual football fan looks at games like these and wonders what is wrong with the offense- the answer is nothing, they just ran into a really good defense… Although I have to say, Reed is having his way with your secondary.
While I technically don't have a preference in this game either, I'm leaning towards Green Bay since I know some of you are in Packer Nation. Come the fuck on, Aaron Rodgers, we both know you are better than this!
I'll eat my shorts if Trump can even name more than 2 NFL teams. I'm guessing the only games he's seen have been from the owner's suites, and he's never paid any attention at all.
Well I had a nice omelet and snacks over at a friend's for this morning's game. Watched yet another team pull defeat from the jaws of victory. Then stayed to watch most of Wisconsin vs Maryland.
Also got some washing done, so the cottage has a fresh batch of towels and I have clean socks! Yay!
Also, I just realised I'll be in San Francisco on Sunday, for another morning kick-off. Hopefully I'll find a bar that's open at that hour … although the last post-season game I watched in SF was Stealers & Refs vs Seahawks. So, the auguring isn't great. :/
Congrats to all the away teams this round. Onwards and upwards.
They will when the new stadium is finished, but apparently this game will be outdoors. I don't have a preference in this game, but fuck, I hope the players survive this…
I have to go buy vodka in this weather at some point. That'll be fun walking to the liquor store in full Carhartts and saying "I'd like your shittiest vodka, please." I know I'm a drunk but damn, the weather here really can make it horrendously obvious.
That was a completely brutal hit. That was just fucked up.
Was able to reschedule the long run for later this week, so I get to be in on the fun.
Oh, and about last night, I'll make the same comment here that I made on other sports blogs…

Well, this is one way to deal with the cold:
That could easily be a Jim Tomsula's Life Hack of the Week by Drew Magary.
I cannot wait to read what Drew has to say about last night's game!
He does a Deadspin podcast but I've never tuned in for it. I bet it's hilarious though because he plays the dude-bro character so well in his columns.
So that's why they call it their equipment!

The NFL: Protect the Shield. Fuck the Fans.
aka thanks for your money and support – now fuck off.
Maybe don't talk about Adrian Peterson and children in the same… hour.
Or just not at all. Probably should avoid that.
A bad omen for the Vikings? http://www.kare11.com/story/sports/nfl/vikings/20…
Who's on bookface? Tell The Weekly how thrilling singing bowels would be. http://www.tucsonweekly.com/tucson/the-sweat-band…
Damn, I'm feeling the cold just from sitting inside and watching this game. My heart goes out to people who are living with this weather FFS…
You're in LA or some SoCal place, right? Can I come live with you? The wind is blowing so hard off the Detroit River, I can feel it blowing through the windows.
I'm in the heart of Los Angeles, where we have the nerve to complain because it's cloudy and "only" 57 degrees. Come on over!
It's 58F here in PA, though we are due to get your cold and snow in about 2 days. (And tomorrow's high will be 26. Fun.)
That moment when Bud Light does an ad showing an era when you were an adult as sepia-toned ancient history. Augh.
Ad for Rio…

Maybe you should move to the East Coast for the summer? It's only a 3 hour time difference here (from Rio).
Golden Globes with Ricky Gervais tonight baby, YEEHAW!!! WOOOO!!!
I know you've been looking forward to that all year.
All of 2016.
Indeed. That is more than Ricky's own parents look forward to seeing him.
Isn't Cuyahoga more pathetic Browns country?
It sure is, which is why I would STFU about the NFL while there. Besides, I don't hate the Browns on anywhere near the level at which I despise the Bengals…
I get it. It's why I can't hate on the Lions. If they ever manage to win a Super Bowl, I will be quite happy for them.
Well, the Seahawks aren't dead yet…
I completely believe that Russell Wilson is inspired by Macklemore.
Did he just say, "It's not cold"? Damn, I want to know what he considers cold if this doesn't qualify.
I want whatever drugs he's on.
Is it me or is this game unspeakably dull?
Vikings aren't dead yet either…glad my dogs can hold out for another 86 seconds!
HOLY SHIT–how did that kicker miss?
The Seahawks are offically even luckier than my Steelers FFS…
As I said yesterday, "better to be lucky than good" :p
SHITFUCK
speaking of teams blowing a sure win…
Sorry honey. In contrast to last night's game, I feel for the fans of the losing team of this morning's event.

Are the networks competing to see who can have the most boring pre/post game filler?
All of them, Katie.
Out of curiosity, does anyone here care about tomorrow's Alabama – Clemson game?
Makes no difference to me, but if one of you has a team let me know and I'll cheer them on!
I hope they both lose, but yes I'll watch
My dad is an adjunct professor at Clemson. I'm definitely rooting for them.
You got to me before any Alabama fans did (if we have any here in the first place) so go Tigers!
if you put a figurative gun to my head, I'd have to say that my dislike of Nick Saban tilts the scales away from the Tide and towards the Tigers.
My stepfather lives in Mobile so… go Clemson!
Did Kirk Cousins blow everyone in the booth? How do you describe 3-and-out as "off to a good start"?
compared to a safety?
Better, but really not within the realm of good for an NFL QB.
Okay, that second drive was worthy of compliments.
Meh, not that impressed with only a FG
That was actually pretty impressive of the Packers' defense. Hope they can hold things up until A-Aron gets his shit together.

Good lord, the Packers' O-line sucks.
This could be a long day for the cheeseheads

Oh, for fuck's sake:

C, how does a Pittsburgh fan "lacerate" someone's face with a beer? http://deadspin.com/a-bengals-fan-peeing-on-someo…
If anyone can figure out how to accomplish that feat, it would be a Steelers fan LOL…
/yeah, we hate the Bengals that much
/FFS
Nice to see the Packers come back to life.
I can live with this.
Did… did they just encourage guys to become bandwagon Patriots fans to get into their co-workers' pants? Classy.
Beginning to look like I need not have worried about the Packers. Nothing against the Washington metro area, but fuck yeah!
I need not have worried. Congrats, Packers fans!
Yay!
OMG, Emmitt Smith was right! This week, I like the Greenland Papsmears (-1) to march into Worthington and beat the Kreskins! http://deadspin.com/football-is-always-worth-it-1…
(For real, when I saw Emmitt picked the Papsmears this week, I was sure we were goners. It's worse than the Bradshaw Curse.)

Honey, you'll be fine before 2 AM and/or after 6 AM Pacific time.
Some of us think that bodes well for your future prospects…;-)
Not to worry; my Broncos are the queens of one-and-done in the playoffs.
Don't they play indoors?
Good thing Minneapolis is not my home town…

LOL. Alcohol. I don't normally drink but I'll take your advice just this one time.
They will when the new stadium is finished, but apparently this game will be outdoors. I don't have a preference in this game, but fuck, I hope the players survive this…
Yeah, the ball is going to be like a brick. But my hunch is that the fans are in more danger of frostbite.
<img src="https://m.popkey.co/bd2528/861zw.gif">
I hate both of you.
I got curious and Googled "Detroit weather." I don't blame you a bit for the hate.
It's so chilly here, on the outskirts of L.A., that the gourmet popsicle lady didn't bother showing up this morning for the Farmer's Market.
I have to go buy vodka in this weather at some point. That'll be fun walking to the liquor store in full Carhartts and saying "I'd like your shittiest vodka, please." I know I'm a drunk but damn, the weather here really can make it horrendously obvious.
Can't resist–sorry, Vodka…

Can you at least go to the closer place? Maybe if you wear a full ski mask? Liquor stores love when people walk in wearing black ski masks.
You're not a Stoli fan?

Hahahahahaha! My studio was built in 1902.
Saw the "Surf's Up " montage.
It's still crazy like that. Pretty amazing to see.
Can you build a blanket fort in the middle of the room?
