Oof, rough. I guess we should expect this in a game where Derek Carr can be a top-3 QB in any given week (no seriously, he's 3rd in scoring and I'm really confused)
The only thing worse than a Steelers loss is a Steelers win when I'm still embittered enough by the Michael Vick travesty that it's a bittersweet victory at best
Actually I feel a lot less terrible about my team this morning than when I typed that, despite all the craziness it managed to crank out just over 100 points. Not bad for a losing effort.
Welcome to 2015 football: Where teams go for 2-point conversions in the 1st quarter.
Oh, yeah, that's because of this thing, according to the National Hurricane Center:
Showers and thunderstorms associated with an area of low pressure located about 100 miles west-southwest of Cabo San Lazaro, Mexico, have continued to become gradually better organized, but there is still no evidence that the low has a well-defined center of circulation. The low is expected to move northward at about 15 mph during the next day or so, and it could still become a tropical depression before it reaches the west coast of the Baja California peninsula tonight. Interests on the Baja Californian peninsula should continue to monitor the progress of the low. Regardless of tropical cyclone formation, moisture associated with this disturbance is expected to produce heavy rains across portions of the Baja California peninsula and northwestern Mexico today and Monday, and over portions of southern California and Arizona on Monday and Tuesday. These rains could produce life-threatening flash floods and mud slides, especially in mountainous areas.
* Formation chance through 48 hours…high…70 percent
* Formation chance through 5 days…high…70 percent
Hey all! Still don't have internet at home (except on my phone), but I did get my Dish hooked up today, so I finally have fooball in HD! At the moment, I am at the McDonald's around the corner, eating very slowly to soak up as much wifi as possible (maybe even more wifi than cholesterol!). They have 2 tvs, one with the Eagles post-game on, the other was the one in my section where the only other diner got up and switched it to Fox News, at which point I picked up my tray and my laptop and pointedly moved to the other section. Ugh, I hate knowing it's even there. Three more days until wifi at home!
I feel your pain so much, I was waiting for someone having surgery last week and the waiting room had Fox News not only on, but people kept swarming around the TV to watch it.
3 more days until you're free from having to listen to Bill O'Reilly and can watch Aaron Rodgers instead!
The only blessing is, this being a tourist area, this McDonald's is relatively large, and the tvs are positioned so there isn't much audio spillover between the sections. I can just barely hear them talking about what an evil criminal witch Hillary is.
Oh, well that's at least something, only sort of hearing how she's a horrible person for things they mostly made up instead of easily hearing it! Progress!
You'll be missing the next two nights of Colbert, with back-to-back GOP guests… Ted Cruz followed by Donald Trump. I'm not sure what to expect.
Wow, he's having ALL the candidates on. Good thing he has over a year.
But I can see it — I have tv now, just no internet. Plus, once I have internet on Wednesday, I think I can go back and check anything I missed through either OnDemand or Hulu (and, failing that, torrent). It's actually pretty cool — my old setup didn't have an HD DVR, while this one is not only HD, it has convinced my cheapass tv that it is a 1080p set, so I can finally see all the divots. Also too, it apparently has PIP built in, which should come in handy next Sunday.
Thank Fuck "America's Game" Horsepile of Suck is done. Holy hell, I thought I was watching some kind of Cruddy Ball/QB Hell late 80's/90's Iggles game.. Christ, that was so painful.
Dammit, Shel– I was still getting it out..
Fuck you, Chip. That's what happens when you pretend you're playing fantasy with an actual team. Bring back Koy Detmer, Bubby Brister, My Goddamn Grandma!!!
OMG, fuck me. 2025 Iggles lookin' good.

I think it is part of a grand scheme to make sure all the actors women had crushes on in the 80s and 90s do an inexplicable off-putting commercial so that all women over 35 pay more attention to their actual significant others. So far, they have checked off Brad Pitt, Matthew MacConaughey and Johnny. I assume Christian Slater is next, then Leonardo DiCaprio.
Oh, you had it covered. Oops.
Great minds and all that.
Great minds with links that could not be more different. Yay, variety!
I tried to pick-up Dick Cheney's from the waver list.

Callyson is starting a TE that's suspended, ok
And Fukui's starting a WR who's out injured. Anybody know if he's actually paying attention this year?
Prolly no sillier than CR and I getting Buffaloed and putting Brady on the bench.
SHHHHH
Don't wake sleeping Fukuis?
I'm getting absolutely destroyed by someone that's starting a TE that's suspended, ok
Vodka beat me last week with Jordy Nelson as his starting WR.
Oof, rough. I guess we should expect this in a game where Derek Carr can be a top-3 QB in any given week (no seriously, he's 3rd in scoring and I'm really confused)
Oops,,,that's what I get for getting too busy to check my team. Lesson learned…
Ben and Antonio bailed you out, as it turned out.
If it makes you feel any better:

Now I just feel bad for you ;_;

eta: Johnny Football not losing so far also.
A rare week where southern California and Arizona are expecting more rain than Ohio! Here we're expected to get none.
Crank up the generators.
Seattle is looking to get over a half an inch. Good thing I'm fleeing the country.
Say, you know who else was expecting to get more than half an inch?
I think this is opposite day in the NFL.
I know. The Vikings won a game!

It's okay ESPN, you tried.
Oh, just shave already Joe Buck.
Check your ESPN e-mail.
Right on.
Don't look now, but the Bills just scored 19 points in the 4th quarter and are only down 5 with 3:24 to go.
Update: Bills down 8, 1:15 to go, about to get the ball back.
Update 2: DAMN IT NEVER MIND THEY STILL LOST
The boo-birds are out in Philly.
Is this different than a normal day in Philly?
Man, you don't even know..
Just turned on by the magic of computer. to see a lovely hurdle by Murray.
Plus 15 yds unsportsmanlike tacked on. Nice!
Romo suffered a fractured left clavicle during Sunday's game against the Eagles, Brandon George of the Dallas Morning News reports.
RIP my backup plan
Edit: Coleman is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Giants due to a rib injury.
Oh wow, this is a bad week for my team.
Ouchies.
Snow is a jinx, everyone!
On the plus side, the jinx affected the Cowboys!
That was one fugly Iggles game. : (

Fuck Tony, but I'd never cheer that. : (
I was wondering why the SparkleKarens had such a low score then realized they have 5 players going in tonight's game. o_O
We're biding our time…
I predict once, during tonight's game, they will show Clay Mathews on the sideline with his helmet off pouring water over his luxurious hair.
It's in his contract.
Done and done!
They managed to wait nearly 45 minutes in. Such restraint.
Locks for love? http://www.locksoflove.org/
Fuck Fabio Clothesline.
Best hair since Polamalu?
There it is!
If he started a hair care line I would get the deep conditioner and the de-frizzer, stat.
"Orange bozo!"?
Can anyone explain this Johnny Depp commercial? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZfHNLM0xm8
Not even Johnny Depp can explain it.

"I'm Matthew McConaughey. Watch me put my contact in. Buy a Lincoln."
Real people: "This fucking JD Power Award?" (wanders out and awards it to any Mazda in the parking lot).
OK, I'm back from watching my Pirates beat the Dodgers: what'd I miss?
You never call when you're over on this side of town. What the hell?
You didn't get my text? And I was hoping to get a couple of pints at Golden Road Brewery after the game
Dammit, that was you? Ah, well.
As a Packers fan, my only problem with the reversal of the TD was that the referee didn't say the word "ass".
Hopefully, there is a written report that the crew has to submit to the league after each game, and that report uses the word "ass", for posterity.
Had me nervous for a while, but I guess I shouldn't have been. Thanks, Seahawks!
Hope Eddie will be alright, don't have much on the bench.
Hi! I'm new here. What did I miss?
You're just in time. The debate is about to start!
Did you bring poop or vomit?
both- it's been a long week…
Cool.
Everything and nothing.
Fuck everything: http://kjzz.org/kjzzstreamer.php
Will there be an over-inflated Tom Brady balloon at this year's Macy's Turkey Day parade?
