  1. Anyone else stuck with the Dolphins/Skins game on CBS? Such a crappy premier game for Sunday football. "Oh look, it's that one crappy locker room racist team vs that crappy organizationally racist team. Yay. Football."

    1. That's also the CBS game here. If the Packers-Bears wasn't on Fox, I might flip over to see if it's possible for both teams to lose.

      1. Wow, this is turning into a bit of a crazy game. 2 punt returns for TD now (1 each). Wilson getting sacked and Foles playing well.
        Lockett the new guy on Seahawks certainly having a good game.

        1. Just join the hockey league (whatever gender specific insult I can hurl at you) for fucks sake. Gary Bettman will not ruin this for you. The fact that you know who that is makes me want to bug the hell out of you until you join the league.

          1. I'd be all for moving the Coyotes to Seattle (or Portland, or Quebec). However, that rancid shitweasel of a lawyer who's STILL commissioner despite trying to single-handedly destroy the NHL through lockouts, shitty television deals and moving solid small-market teams into the middle of the fucking desert, will fuck that up too.

            I won't even mention the bizarro Eastern Divisions….

            That said, despite the fact that I know fuck all about who's on what team these days, and don't care, I'll give the old fantasy hockey thing a go. Just don't say I didn't warn you.

          2. Since you bring it up, thanks for the invite, but I'm going to pass unless you're absolutely desperate. I know even less about the game than I do about football or baseball, despite having briefly played hockey in my youth. On grass, as was the fashion in my country.

          3. Meh, I need people so I figured a blind email invite was worth a shot. I'm surprised that address even worked, I got it from the account I set football up with 3 seasons ago.

          4. I can only be bothered checking one address, so that one's going to work till I die, retire or get fired.

    2. I actually paid for sunday ticket.tv– I get all teh shit, except that one goddamn Denver game I really wanna watch right now, of course. (I wonder if I could route the shit through my vpn? Nah, too much trouble, and prolly wouldn't work anyway.) I guess I'll just watch Mr. Hat and Pregnant Kenny Rogers battle it out. (what? he's not the coach? he should be..)
      Cmdr woke up with |this| in his head..

      1. Learned the Packers thing from my dad (forever thankful he wasn't a Patriots fan considering he grew up in Rhode Island…)

        The game we're getting now is Bengals-Raiders and a Bengals player literally slammed an opponent's head against the helmet that fell off of his head, reminds me of why I never cared about the Bengals.

        1. My dad never really gave a shit about the Iggles and thought the fans were a complete embarrassment. (And then he came back hoarse, vocal chords shot from Flyers games..)
          Forte's points alone are really close to my total points right now.. : D
          Did Peyton die on the field or something? Too much touching Papa John.. fucking voodoo shitgrease!

          1. So did he basically do what he complained about the Eagles fans doing?
            If you told me I'd be up by this much with my TE getting 11 yards I'd have laughed, fantasy is so strange o_o
            I think you accidentally drafted Really High Voice Peyton Manning.

      1. Jameis unsurprisingly self-destructs, and his Heisman rival Mariota has a near perfect game for the Titans. Maybe Tebow is right and there is a God.

  2. Oh look, the Lions failed. Gee, I did not see that coming. Too bad for the 2 morons who picked the Lions in my suicide pool, which is worth over a grand. So glad I picked the Packers.

      1. Especially week 1 in a sucide pool where a thousand bucks is on the line for a $20 buy in. "Really? You're picking the Lions? Really."

          1. Excuse my language, but you have to be fucking retarded to bet the Lions the first week of the season. That's just fucking dumb.

          2. No, it's through my friend J*** on the truck. His brother started it and there's around 85 people in it. $20 to get in X 85 is like, actual fucking money.

          3. The pot is actually 1,660. You know what I could do with that kinda cabbage pulled straight out of my ass? Hookers and blow OR, OR a really cool bed and a nice end table with a lamp. Leaning towards the latter but not ruling out the former.

          4. Is it every week? Because why not both? And maybe even one of those Tempurpedic mattresses, even. And an enormous tv, also too.

          5. It's a suicide pool. You pick wrong, you're out. No runner ups, nothing. last person who didn't pick the wrong team wins all of it. That's why I can't fathom why anyone would pick the Lions over the Chargers.That is straight up stupid.

  3. Hi everyone–just got back into town in time for Sunday Night Football. Tired as fuck from the Ventura Half Marathon but I'm hoping the Eagles* Giants will entertain me. And by "entertain me," I mean I hope they hand the Cowboys an ass-whooping…

    *Christ, I really am tired…

      1. Fine, thanks, though it was hot as fuck despite the 6:30 AM start (yawn.) My time wasn't the best but it wasn't the worst, so that's OK.

        But Ventura is a cute little town, so it was fun to get away. I'd never been before, but it took me about two minutes to locate a microbrewery pub 😉

    1. Oh lord you're a runner. You and my sister would get along great. She runs 8 miles back and forth to work most days. I think she's insane. I met all of her runner friends at her 40th bday party and they couldn't even carry on a normal conversation with a normal person without talking about running.

    1. Let's just admit it- Eli sucks. In fact, the Giants suck- they never should have lost that game. Worse yet, they let the Cowgirls win…

      1. They might have won if Eli's ManningEgo had allowed himself to be sacked. Also too, if their defense had realized on that TD pass that they were not, in fact, playing touch football. Christ.
