my predictions always suck, so I won't bother

I'll just say that the nfc north will be the worst division and that 9 wins could very well be enough to take it. and I don't see the lions winning more than 7.

afc north: ravens 11-5
afc south: colts 14-2

kinda out of character, but finally lee mays is gone. dude sucked aaaass

[J.Re*]

i <3 the 2001-2004 (estimated. northcutt, andre', quincy) browns receivers.

[monkeydude]

Who wins tommorow: Raiders or the Patriots? I'm going with the underdogs and picking The Raiders.

[Homer Jay]

Pats, the Raiders might be the most overrated team in the league

[kevin]

overrated how? everyone knows they suck ass

[Homer Jay]

Not as many as you think, I've read a lot of people who say that they have one of the best offenses in the league, and that because of it they will be over five hundred. Anyone who picks them to finish any higher than last is giving them too much credit.

[Matt B.]

the raiders will will win 38-21 and the pats will lose like they did to the saints

[CMQ]

Pats will rape the Raiders because as we all know Kerry Collins sucks balls.

Gravy's Locks of the Week

2 Team Parlay-Line Bets
Eagles (-1) over Falcons (+1)
Colts (-3) over Ravens (+3)

*Bold designates the home team, roarke. elielipaytoneli!

[DAntae]

ummmm I dunno gravy. I expect the ravens to beat the colts. defense is usually ahead of offense early in the season. of course what do I know.

what I do know is the skins will whoop those punk ass bears. gibbs to piss on the city of chicago. of course everyone has done that.

[kevin]

urlacher will make portis his bitch, and tommie harris will have patrick ramsey eating the shitty fedex dirt

[gravymaster]

ummmm I dunno gravy. I expect the ravens to beat the colts. defense is usually ahead of offense early in the season. of course what do I know.
They aren't in the dome, but never doubt the Manning offense. Anyhow, what do you know? You like the Redskins. :mexican:

[rickey]

You bring a tear to my eye gravy. I HATE the Colts more than any team, besides the BoSux.

Manning is a hack. He's had pressure situations brought to him many a time against some of the AFC's best. Yet he chokes every time. He tanks in the pocket, and can't read audibles to save his life.

Worst of all, when HE throws a stinker of a game, he never admits responsibility. Ever. You call that a team leader? Hell no.

Go Eagles baby.

[gravymaster]

Go Eagles baby.
Any credibility you once had in my eyes for liking the Yankees has just been washed away with those three little words.



Manning is a hack. He's had pressure situations brought to him many a time against some of the AFC's best. Yet he chokes every time. He tanks in the pocket, and can't read audibles to save his life.

Replace the first word of the first sentence with "McNabb". Makes sense said that way too, doesn't it?

[rickey]

Look, No matter how good he is, that contract he signed will keep that team from being competitive simply because the salary cap won't allow them to pay him and a decent defense (let alone Edge James and Marvin Harrison). Whenever anyone calls him such a great team player it makes me laugh. You think Montana or Favre would've signed a contract worth a few millions more if it would cost em a ring?

Didn't think so.

[gravymaster]

Roarke and Spartan, you can handle that.

[Roarke]

Didn't think so.


yeah, how on earth are we ever going to pay for marvin harrison (locked up for 7 yeears last year) and a decent defense (corey simon, dwight freeny).

and surely, peyton never does well against the AFC elite (forgetting the patriots, name one top AFC team that's beaten us. we lost last year to a streaking KFC and a lucky jacksonville.). We beat the ravens last year, rather nicely, the chargers, the vikings and whatever "elite" team was thrown at us.

now please
shut
the
fuck
up

[Dead Nigga Storage]

it's true though...manning is such a hack. he hacked his way all the way to 49TDs and a 120+ rating. hack, hack, hack, hack, hack, hack.

eagles suck. go away.

[rickey]

Peyton manning is coached by Tony Dungy, a great defensive mind,yet due to his huge salary and constant choking in big games, he put the man to shame. How long did it take him to win a playoff game? And when he did finally win one, the other team had JAKE PLUMMER and MIKE SHANNAHAN at coach.

In fact, you can make a lot of parallels between Manning and Culpepper, both have amazing receivers (Moss and Harrison) who make them look far better than they are, both put up amazing numbers that make you think they must be good. And neither one of them can get it done when it counts, unless they are on your fantasy team.

[pat]

And neither one of them can get it done when it counts
they said the same thing about elway, and look how he ended up.

[Roarke]

i'm glad you've learned the ignorant argument theory of constantly changing your argument when someone proves you wrong. but moving on.

yes, it's true, a 29 year old man clearly has no shot at a ring. 10 mroe years in his career you say? bah! nonsense. it's clearly written in the skies.

Montana also never had a great WR. Nope. Never heard of these guys. Total nobodies.

eagles play in the AFC and they win just as many playoff games as the colts.

Your argument from there is just loud obnoxious fallacies, so i'm not even going to bother.

[Spartan]

you misspelled peyton, gravy.

I love that once the COLTS (no one man loses or wins a football game, I'll be damned sure of that) beat Denver in the wild-card round before last, people didn't brush off the "peyton can't win a big game" shtick. Nor when they beat Kansas City.

On the road. Never throwing an INT in either game, or having to punt the ball away.

You never learn.

[gravymaster]

I KNOW! Must I hear it from BOTH Colts fans? I still love him, ok?

[rickey]

He's all flash and no substance. He's been that way since his playing days at Tennesee.

And he never beat Brady and Belichick, either. I know that must be killing him inside.
3 SB rings in 4 years is a lot more telling of how great a qb you are, than a bunch of NFL columnists writing glowing columns about you and your amazing qb rating or TD passed.

[Spartan]

oh really.

I guess that's why he's the all-time winningest quarterback at Tennessee with an SEC title and beat Alabama 3 times in row (something a Vol QB hadn't done in decades). HELL...I don't think ANY SEC quarterback has ever done that.

so if peyton never put up big numbers and was just a solid, winning quarterback, would you care? if he was like any other top ten QB in the league who got the job done on the field but didn't have playstation numbers, would you still be this adament?

I think we all know the answer.

[gravymaster]

He's all flash and no substance. He's been that way since his playing days at Tennesee.
Uh oh.

Edit: hahahahaha. Too quick for me, Spartan.

[rickey]

Why Peyton got the starting position at Tennesee is beyond me. I think Tee Martin deserved it way more than him.

Because, you know, he has the leadership factor and all. While Manning whines like a little bitch on every play.

And those audibles. Jesus christ, just throw the fucking ball already.

He has probably the best offense in the league at his disposal, yet manages to second-guess himself, waste time in the pockets, and turn the ball over too many times to make an impact. When you won 3 superbowls in 4 years, like the pats did, maybe I can take Manning seriously.

Until then I stick to my point that Manning can't win when his team and city is dependent on him. He chokes like Ron Jeremy just gave him deep throat.

Edit:That said, I'm pumped for the upcoming season. Hope the trash talk will continue cuz the pats and Eagles are the AFC teams to beat. And Pitt too.

[kuumuus]

now you're starting to make sense!

edit: the eagles are the team to beat in the afc even though they don't play in the afc. also, 3 teams are the team to beat in the afc.

[Spartan]

TEE MARTIN

good god.

You do realize where he's ended up right? Back at home in Mobile, AL, chilling with his friends. I love the guy, but good lord. He was a QB who handed the ball off to Jamal Lewis and Travis Stephens. That's 200 yards a game. He also had an incredulous amount of talent surrounding him at receiver. A solid QB in a great offensive system...the best the SEC has seen since Spurrier's mid 90s run-n-gun. it's the vols bread and butter. 1998 was a product of luck (yeah I know) and a great, outstanding defense with a duo (trio, if you include injuried travis henry) of nfl primed backs.
...

wait

ARE YOU FUCKING seriously saying Tee Martin should've played at Tennessee over Manning. Peyton Manning.

I'm not continuing this.

[rickey]

I probably am wrong, but nonetheless Manning still sucks and he won't get past the Iron curtain that are the Patriots.

Manning sucks.

Go Eagles, go Pats baby.

[Rekart]

cuz the pats and Eagles are the AFC teams to beat. And Pitt too.

The Bengals and Texans are the NFC teams to beat. And New England.

EDIT: Kuumuus beat me.

[Dead Nigga Storage]

no one man loses or wins a football game
unless he is wearing a black and white striped shirt ;)

amiright?

[rickey]

I’m waiting for the day that everyone realizes that he’s the second coming of Dan Marino. And what did Dan Marino win? That’s right, nothing. The reason why all these guys love him so much is because after the Rush Limbaugh debacle, the media couldn’t wait to show us all that a white man was back in charge of the QB position. I’m waiting for the day that Armen Ketayen or some other sideline reporter just pulls off his pants and starts sucking his cock on the field on camera. Will you be surprised? Neither will I.

[kuumuus]

that is the smartest thing anyone has ever said about anything

[Dead Nigga Storage]

how the FUCK did this become a race issue? christ. quit while you're behind...wwwwaaaaaaayyy behind.

[Rekart]

Spartan already sucks his dick, but that's for another time.

It's those whites. Always against the blacks. Like a kid at school said, "Ain't no white man ever helped a black man." And, maybe, do you think they put him in charge of the position... because he's the one with the best passing stats? Better than McNabb's, last time I checked. And, oh yeah, he's won the BIGGEST game just as many times as Donovan.

[rickey]

But he's never won the biggest game. always gets stopped cold in the AFC finals by the Patriots. and you can't even deny that. Brady is a better qb than Manning will ever be. Peyton is dan Marino 2.0.

[Dead Nigga Storage]

if peyton still hasn't won the big game 10 years from now, come back and make this argument all you want. the guy is TWENTY-NINE FUCKING YEARS OLD. he's got plenty of time in front of him to win it all, and you're sitting here calling him a hack based on an entire career that hasn't even happened yet. this is mind blowing...just shut up already.

[rickey]

If he wasn't so damn greedy, and allowed the Colts GM to make a few more roster moves on the defense, they might have a chance.

Tom Brady is 27 and he already won 3 fucking superbowls. This is his prime, his time to shine, yet stupid decision making and pointless moves, which are overlooked by his admittedly good offensive skill, he's not going to amount to shit and won't win anything if he continues down the "Me First" path. The pats are all about team chemistry. Manning has gotta wake up and realize time is running out.
Plus he has a ton of other competition in the AFC waiting to take that second spot from the Colts.

[Rekart]

He's so damn greedy... Just a second, I'm going to go help him aid the victims of Katrina. I'll finish my argument when I get back.

[rickey]

Yea you gotta give him credit for that.

but I'm talking on the field, not what he does in his own time.

the colts GM offered him exactly what peyton took. there was little negociation. the system is built to thrive exactly as it is. they've retained their two huge play makers on defense, two of their top WRs, their leader and their RB (the only reason we're not giving him a long term contract is he isn't super-duper happy to play away from FL and we're not sure how long hes good for--a GM's mistake, not money problem)

and is this fucking "me first" talk REALLY coming from a yankee fan? i'm done. ten years he doesn't have a ring, come back. until then, obey my words and shutthefuckup.

[:bang:]

did he just say the colts always get stopped in the afc finals?? hahahaha

[gravymaster]

and is this fucking "me first" talk REALLY coming from a yankee fan?
What the hell is that supposed to mean?!

[Roarke]

you guys kind of pay your players a lot of money. have you noticed?

[rickey]

Keep dreaming buddy. Maybe the football gods will throw Indy a bone, and they might creep their way into the superbowl one day. Perhaps even get lucky and win the thing.

Let the 3 superbowl rings for the New England Patriots speak for themselves. Last time I checked, the colts have NONE. NOthing! Never been to the big show. Who the hell are you to tell me to shut the hell up?

[Spartan]

yeah, they won Super Bowl V

and they lost that super bowl III....you know....something like the biggest game in NFL history.

[Homer Jay]

Isn't Super Bowl V considered by many to be the worst ever?

[Rekart]

Who the hell are you to tell me to shut the hell up?

I think he actually said "shutthefuckup." He's Roarke, and he's been here a hell of a lot longer than you. He also has a tendency to use Duff Stadium bans, although usually against me.

[rickey]

It was still uncalled for. I never said shit to him.

[Spartan]

Isn't Super Bowl V considered by many to be the worst ever?

yes. a very sloppy 16-13 game v. dallas that prompted most of the colts at the time to not accept their super bowl rings.

also. it's 4 hours until kickoff of the first game this week. yet I can't make my Survivor Yahoo pick because they gotta be in by midnight PT of the day of the game.

what kind of sense does that make? I assumed it would be 5 minutes before the first game of the week. gay.

[thecapecoddah]

hi guys!

/starts car, peels out, and drives off

[Roarke]

i'm very happy you're able to claim "go eagles" (how many have they won again?) and then go "oh wait i'm also a pats fan"(which should be fucking illegal as a yankee's fan).
you're using idiotic fallacious arguments that sound like the stuff i was against in the third grade. i tend to use bans to trim out ignorant bullshit like that so we have actual discussion, not unbacked namecalling.

Speaking of which, Have i ever banned coot? I must have at least once.

And totally stoked for kick off today. Have to be in class for some of it, which is a downer, but i'll pull through.

[Mayor Quimby]

I am going with a 24-10 win for the Pats and a Randy Moss touchdown. It will be weird seeing him in silver and black, after rooting for him as a Viking the past few years.

[:bang:]

should i start stokely or joey galloway this week? stokely has the injury...

[rickey]

i'm very happy you're able to claim "go eagles" (how many have they won again?) and then go "oh wait i'm also a pats fan"(which should be fucking illegal as a yankee's fan).

Whatever. Agree to disagree then. You have loyalty for your team, no matter how much I think Manning sucks. I can respect that.

And it is possible for a Yankees fan to root for the patriots. Two different sports. not like I'm rooting for the BoSox.

[gravymaster]

you guys kind of pay your players a lot of money. have you noticed?
That doesn't mean the players have a "me first" attitude. But, different discussion for another thread and another day.

I hope the Patriots get embarassed tonight.....but the Raiders stink.

[Dead Nigga Storage]

really? i was under the impression that they were merely "overrated" :-\

i have so little faith in the raiders to get a damn thing done tonight, but god...it would be damn sweet to see them blow out the patriots.

[kevin]

going for the patriots because i picked them. other than that, i really don't care. but football is football and i will watch it no matter who is playing

[rickey]

I got Patriots -7.5 over the Raiders. In Brady-Belecheck I trust...

[Rekart]

Belichick*

Patriots over Raiders, easily. I understand that Moss is a big pickup, but if anyone is picking Oakland over NE for that, you're missing the whole picture.

[rickey]

^I agree.

I honestly think the Moss move was just a marketing stunt for little gangsters and hip hop artists everywhere to buy his jersey.

[Dead Nigga Storage]

hehe...black people like "black people stuff"

[Homer Jay]

I think that Jordan will have a bigger impact on this game than Moss.

[gravymaster]

I got Patriots -7.5 over the Raiders. In Brady-Belecheck I trust...
You are a braver man than I. I wasn't going near that spread with this being the first game of the season and Charlie no longer at the helm of that offense. Not saying they won't win or cover that spread....but there were too many questions for me to make that bet. How much did you throw down?

[doyle]

yeah, there are some question marks. but it's the raiders.

[CMQ]

Yeah if Kerry Collins can throw the ball downfield the Raiders might just have a shot at winning this game.

[gravymaster]

My fucking cable gives going in and out. It was weird because one minute the Raiders were coming out onto the field, then after it came back from blackness, Moss was catching a long pass. Then, after more blackness, the Raiders were scoring a touchdown on the Patriots. Fuck you comcast! But great job, Kerry.

[rickey]

You are a braver man than I. I wasn't going near that spread with this being the first game of the season and Charlie no longer at the helm of that offense. Not saying they won't win or cover that spread....but there were too many questions for me to make that bet. How much did you throw down?

Not much, $50. I can't exactly go crazy on gambling expenditures, I am a college student. So far it's working out, Pats are up.

[gravymaster]

So far it's working out, Pats are up.
Yeah.....by 3. They need to win by 8, my friend.

[rickey]

Once Corey Dillion gets going, and the defense does its job against the hapless Raiders, those 5 magical numbers will come through for me.

Maybe it's just me, but the pocket the defense create for Brady are a masterpiece in my eyes. Everything after that just looks too easy. Natural talent.

[gravymaster]

Anddddddd the Godfather is rich.

[Semaj]

Can't wait for the new season. They're having a prep rally at our downtown square this evening!

GO BILLS!!!
:headbang :chug: :hump:

[Mayor Quimby]

ESPN had the Bills-Oilers classic playoff game on today. Probably one of the best comebacks in a game ever, doesn't really matter what sport, but that game has to rank near the top.

[kuumuus]

i <3 bill simmons. his article today (http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/050909) was typical great stuff, but it was the end that cracked me up and inspired this post. since i started reading espn.com a year ago, he has been the funniest and best page2 columnist on there by far. he's just a naturally funny sports/pop culture writer. i also notice other page2 columnists try to emulate his humorous writing style, but they only come off as sad imitators reaching for laughs.

so am i alone on this weird internet sports columnist love?

[rickey]

Sports Guy used to be pretty funny. But his constant Boston-centric pieces, lack of effort since his move to L.A., poor gambling luck(dude's been .500 the last few years in football gambling). These days he's really been slacking off, using a new baby, and a new book as an excuse.
The book will suck. It's just a rehash of all his old columns.

He knows pop culture in general, but my god he has the WORST music taste ever. I don't ever want him to comment on music. That and politics.

The Sports Guy is unequivically the best writer I read right now. No one comes close in humor, inssane pop-culture comments, and some of the best sports judgement. I trust the Sports Guy in basketball more than I do any so called expert at ESPN. As for his music choices and political affiliation, I don't think he or anyone gives a damn what you think about his taste. The man is becoming an Icon in writing, you are a dumbass with a computer.

[rickey]

My point is, he has BAD music taste and should not open his mouth on any other subject besides the Boston sports scene. That's all he can really write about. And it seems nowadays a sports column from him is a rare occurence.

[DAntae]

not sure of what games I will be watching having to leave the home and all. looking for a hotel with the directtv package...oddly enough many of them down south have them.

urlacher makes no one his bitch, guy can tackle but he is an average run stopper. he benefits from having strong tackles up front. of course all linebackers do, his strength has been playing back in converage. not sure if he has all that speed he once had. bears are still a bad team on offense. defense has some good players but prove it to me on the field. skins 24-10. fuck da' bears

this is going to be the season of shit talking. nothing but good fun.

[:bang:]

my girlfriend is going to the game tomorrow, dan. hope all works out for ya'll

[kevin]

[Curtis]

Curtis the Jackass lock of the week

Miami Dolphins over Denver Broncos

[chiefdan]

That sure is a jackass lock.

Also, I predict that the Redskins will (unfortunately) beat the Bears by 4 points.

[Homer Jay]

I do think the Broncos will be bad, but not that bad.

[doyle]

i have washington as my survivor pick, so they better fucking win.

[Semaj]

Everyone in Houston is gonna get trampled tomorrow. :devil:

Bills: 31
Texans: 0

[stevedude530]

Here's my breakdown of each game in Week 1:

1PM:
Chicago vs. Washington - Maybe the worst game of the week, good defenses vs. bad offenses. Pick: Chicago, 13-6

Cincinatti vs. Cleveland - Carson Palmer will emerge with Chad Johnson as the new Manning to Harrison, Cleveland will be left defenseless. Expect Braylon Edwards to get about 50-60 yards in his first game. Pick: Cincy, 27-10

Denver vs. Miami - aside from a decent debut for Ronnie Brown, expect the Broncs to trample the Dolphins. Pick: Denver, 35-7

Houston vs. Buffalo - Houston has all the tools ready, but I think they have a poor first half before picking it up in the 4th Quarter against a mediocre Bills team. Pick: Houston, 24-16

New Orleans vs. Carolina - The Saints beat a Super Bowl-contending Carolina team for their fans spread across the Gulf. Pick: Saints 21-20

New York Jets vs. Kansas City - Kansas City's offense outscores that of the Jets. Both will win in double digits this year though. Pick: Chiefs 34-27

Seattle vs. Jacksonville - Byron Leftwitch and the Jags make a statement to the league by easily beating an overrated Seahawk team. Pick: Jags, 24-7

Tampa Bay vs. Minnesota - Moss who? Expect Daunte Culpepper to throw for 300 yards and Gruden continues to lose hair without a viable star at any of the 3 skill positions on offense. Pick: Vikings 41-13

Tennesee vs. Pittsburgh - Tennessee is also very overrated, Pittsburgh won't need much (as usual) to beat them. Pick: Steelers 17-10

Arizona vs. New York Giants - I think the Giants are a very improved team that has enough weapons on offense (Burress, Shockey, healthy Toomer, Barber) to beat this, again, highly overrated Cardinals team. Pick: Giants 24-10

Dallas vs. San Diego - Cowboys surprise everyone by beating a solid Charger team. With Peerless Price in the slot, all the 'boys need to win is for Bledsoe to be solid. Wouldn't surprise me if he threw for 250 and 3 scores. That Dallas "D" is scary. Pick: Cowboys, 28-9

Green Bay vs. Detroit - This is a tough one, but I think Joey Harrington gets the win, and has a better performance than he would with Garcia not breathing down his neck. Pick: Lions, 16-10

St. Louis vs. San Fransisco - No contest. Rams offense picks apart the Niners. Pick: Rams, 37-6

Colts vs. Ravens - I like the Ravens defense to win it at home. Pick: Ravens 17-13

Atlanta - Philly pick will come on Monday.

[rickey]

I agree on most of them.

As much as I want NO to win, I don't see it happening against a much improved Carolina team.

[Curtis]

no way NO wins, Buffalo will be horrible this year. JP Losman is a horrible QB. If he started every game he would easily throw 25 interceptions.

[kevin]

...and gus frerrote is SO much better

[Curtis]

lol ok I never said he was, I think Frerrote will do average/poor but Losman is just horrid. The guy has a bad attitude and has below average acuracy.

[kevin]

i agree, but it doesn't mean as much when all you really have to do is hand the ball to willis mcgahee, and let your defnse do the rest. bills will be fine

[Homer Jay]

How many games has the guy started?

[J.Re*]

i love the nfl live style speech impedements everyone has garnered

[Semaj]

The game has started; prepare to die, Texans! :devil:

[Curtis]

I was wrong on Losman (so far).

My lock of the week is looking good so far.

[Green_Peaness]

WOW! The Chiefs are kicking ass! Our defense (at least rushing) is soo much better than last year, this is awesome

Edit: This must be the first time we shut out another team in years

Edit#2: i love the nfl live style speech impedements everyone has garnered

Haha! Testosterone overcomes composure

Edit #3: Damnit, they got a TD with 29 seconds left...so close :'(

[Homer Jay]

I wouldn't take it too far, the Jets aren't going to be great

[Curtis]

fuck yes best dolphin game in four years

[Semaj]

MUWA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!!!!!!!!

Bills: 22
Texans: 7

[pat]

the vikings losing made up for the fact my picks have sucked so far. lions win would be super sweet.

just caught the end of the saints/panthers game. wild finish, but good for the saints.

[doyle]

shitty start

[huh?]

Well, at least the Bears did well on the defensive side of the ball. Offensive though, eurgh.

And I got virtually little production from my fantasy players today in nsf, yet Corey Dillon performance on Thursday has singlehandedly kept the lead for me

[pat]

<3 marcus pollard

[Curtis]

My lock of the week who you guys crticized won!


Miami Dolphins

Best Dolphin game I have seen in a long long time.

[DAntae]

if the saints can muster a pash rush each game they can win the nfc south. that offense can be lights out when they get rolling. great game.

did not have to evacuate...fucking news. they gave an update at 5pm yesterday that the storm likely would not make any landfall on s.c. so it worked out well.

love nfl sunday ticket. it is perhaps the greatest invention ever. I can watch the skins game and see all the other games scores, then check for team and individual stats during commercials and timeouts.

ok on to my skins. defense looks like it will be lights out again. portis was a beast. 20 extra pounds really showed. offensive line played well after the 1st qrtr. ramsey was throwing high again. brunell managed things well. if they find a way to get points out of the passing game then I will be happy. cooley was overthrown twice on potentially big plays. bears defense came to play as well. expected it to be low scoring aside from previous predicition. skins were lucky to win the game. however if the fumble never happened...we are talking about a shutout.

now I brace myself for a loss next week. its a division road game early in the season. you got to hope they find a way to score some points.

steelers looked nasty, very nasty. secondary was everywhere.

jets...what the hell happened? you let me down big time.

vikings losing to the bucs was a shocker for me.

so far a pretty good opening day.

eli to shockey for the td was gorgeous. gravy making sweet love to the tv.

[pat]

7-3 lead at halftime. with all the penalties the packers have taken, it makes me think that the game shouldn't be as close as it is, but they just haven't been able to rattle favre all that much. solid first half from harrington as well, I've really been happy with what I've been seeing from him today.

[thecapecoddah]

hell yeah saints, good for them


My lock of the week who you guys crticized won!

shouldn't have been highly criticized to begin with... broncos have never won in miami.

[pat]

and the broncos really aren't that great this year either. but I still thought they'd at least beat the dolphins. meh

[stevedude530]

I was 5-4 at 1PM

[Curtis]

Gus Frerotte impresse me today, Scott Linahans offense is solid. I like that we are passing more. Ronnie Brown got better as the game progressed and the defense was amazing.

[Homer Jay]

and the broncos really aren't that great this year either. but I still thought they'd at least beat the dolphins. mehThey might have the most overrated coach in the league, but he's got that job for life because of the two Super Bowls that the team won when he was there.

[gravymaster]

No one cares about the Dolphins, fats.

The Giants looked great on the first drive but the game has turned into a complete abortion. Hey offensive line.......give Eli some fucking time!

[Spartan]

I was wrong on Losman (so far).

My lock of the week is looking good so far.

great lock. I know it was a homer pick, but damn it paid off.

and yeah...you were really wrong on losman. he's gonna have a breakthru year.

[Curtis]

No ones cares about the Giants, New Yorks other team.

I kept watching the statline hoping for Losman to fuck up, he sure put egg on my face.

[pat]

No ones cares about the Giants, New Yorks other team.
is that why the two teams play at giants stadium?

/indifferent about both new york football teams

and this is looking like the lions of old... get within the 3 yard line, run 3 plays, and have to attempt a field goal. fuck.

[gravymaster]

No ones cares about the Giants, New Yorks other team.
You know nothing about NY football, stupid. Don't chime in about the Giants again.

21-13 Jints. Die of heart disease, curtis.

[Curtis]

I was just going back and forth with Gravy, I hate all the New York teams. There is a Miami - New York sports team feud.

[rickey]

Miami sucks. They have no outstanding defense that can help carry them into post season action.
I really want the J-E-T-S Jets to go far. They did a few years back.

[Curtis]

Miami sucks. They have no outstanding defense that can help carry them into post season action.
I really want the J-E-T-S Jets to go far. They did a few years back.

Nice to see such an objective observation.

[rickey]

Over/under on ounces of pot Rcky Williams smoked at Dolphins' expense:25.

[Curtis]

ok your point is?

[gravymaster]

There is a Miami - New York sports team feud.
Really? Why wasn't I informed?

If you are talking about Knicks/Heat, I wouldn't exactly still call that a feud.

[Curtis]

Dolphins - Jets
Heat - Knicks is still heated
Marlins - Yankees to an extent since they played in World Series.

[rickey]

So every team that plays each other in the World Series automatically strike up a rivalry with one another? You're joking right.

[gravymaster]

Dolphins - Jets
Heat - Knicks is still heated
Marlins - Yankees to an extent since they played in World Series.
Dolphins Jets is all you are getting.

[pat]

can't forget about the heated rivalry between the panthers and the islanders as well...

[kevin]

bears defense looked good today

but ouch on the offense

i expect the same type of game against the lions next week

kinda nice to say the lions are in first place, even though it means shit after the first week.

[Spartan]

wow...bulger is 34/56 today. did I miss something or what happened to stephen jackson?

at any rate, SF is gonna win, Bulger INT.

[kuumuus]

and just like that i'm out of survival football.

on the bright side, st louis and arizona looked much worse in defeat than seattle and none of the division title contenders gained a game on the hawks.

[gravymaster]

COWBOYS MOTHERFUCKER YEAH

http://www.siegler.net/cowboys/images/2003/capt.1060201766.cowboys_parcells_sa107.jpg
VERY lucky to get out of that game alive.

Giants giants giants! Eli was ok today, but the rest of the team was great. Hopefully Shockey's ankle is straight, but time will tell. Nice way to start the season.

[Rekart]

49ers, 49ers, 49ers! :-/

Not a good start for the Rams. At least the Cardinals and Seahawks both lost too. Looks like another weak division.

[Curtis]

You can tell Suzy Colber is starting to age...

Id still hit that though.

[stevedude530]

Giants 42-19. Good start, hafta do something about the secondary though, Larry Fitzgerald burned them. God, Michael Strahan got thin.

By the way, I'm 16, and it definitely feels like the people under 30, its about 65-30 Jet fan-Giant Fan.

I was 3-1 at 4PM in my picks, so 8-5 so far today.

[gravymaster]

You can tell Suzy Colber is starting to age...

Id still hit that though.
You've never hit anything. You're awful.

i've got to give myself props for picking him up on my fantasy team

anyway the colts looked sexy last night, especially the defense. for some reason jacksonville scares me a little bit, so next week's game should be a good one.

[kevin]

with the way the colts played last night, especially on d, they will be tough to beat

[Rekart]

Yeah, but remember. Peyton can't win the big game. Even Godfather said so.

Only two people are left in the Yahoo Survival Football. Did that many people just forget to do it this week, or did all the upsets kill everyone?

[BradyBunch12]

Don't fret everyone, my team will find a way to defeat the Colts!

[Spartan]

no no no no no no no no no no....

[gravymaster]

McNabb down! McNabb down!!

[DAntae]

the colts finally got a defense that will hit some receivers. all they needed was a more agressive secondary. I am officially on the colts bandwagon, well as far as picking them to win the afc.

gravy called that game, my hat if I had one on would be off to you sir.

giants offense just exploded. I swayre I saw bavarro out there catching passes.

ASO, I've read nearly your whole blog and I like it a great deal, but Penn State? Jesus, man.

Also: Chest bruise for your boy; Status to be determined.
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/story?columnist=pasquarelli_len&id=2160666

[AllSussedOut]

to clarify... that is indeed the one and only fred savage, circa austin powers 3, if i'm not mistaken.

as far as donovan-- i know, i know... he'll man up, though.

and re: penn state... i grew up in the philly burbs. it's just what's done, man. if it makes you feel better, or laugh, i'll tell you that my sister actually went to osu, setting off a virtual firestorm of intertownship brouhaha-age.

[:bang:]

just face it, penn state rules gravy

[gravymaster]

My hate for PSU comes from an Uncle who went there during Joe Pa's hayday. I have constantly been bombarded with Nittany Lion rhetoric my entire life and have successfully turned it all away. Also, being friends with many Penn State fans in college didn't help.

ASO, things with your sister could be much worse. You could have been a Michigan fan.

[AllSussedOut]

word

[Spartan]

penn state epitomizes northeastern college programs.

except other than the fact...y'know...they've won a lot.

[:bang:]

that and they play in a midwestern conference

[Spartan]

...where they still stand out like a sore thumb for 15 years now...

[:bang:]

other than the fact that they are the 11th member, not really. they are a similar school to ohio state, wisconsin and michigan, and western pennsylvania is more midwestern than northeastern anyway. if you put all of the northeastern schools in one conference, penn state would stick out more

[Rekart]

You know, the NCAA thread could use some posts...

[Homer Jay]

Too add to what hugh said. There are only four (five if you count Maryland) Northeast D-1A schools and Penn St. isn't one of them.

[gravymaster]

ASO: I am strictly a WFAN guy, but the other day I switched over to WIP to hear the reaction to the Monday night football game. Holy shit, it was like the team was 0-4 to some of these callers. All the Eagles fans I know bleed green and would never sound the way some of these guys sounded. Is this bridge-jumper mentality a regular occurrence among the Eagle faithful that call the station?

[Homer Jay]

Isn't bridge-jumper mentality a regular occurrence among all people who call talk radio?

[:bang:]

eagles fans are so fatalistic

[AllSussedOut]

Philly fans are passionate and intelligent... save those yahoos who call the radio station. I listen all the time (as I can while I work, and I tend to find it entertaining/masochistic), but calling would never be an option.

The people who call are in no way representative of the greater population. They are truly bridge-jumpers, and if they don't give Philly a bad name... they contribute more often than not.

[:bang:]

my favorite crowd shot ever was (can't remember where i saw it) of philly fans leaving the stadium after the nfc championship loss in 2004. one fan was yelling so hard he was bent over. "WHY DO YOU BREAK MY HEART EVERY FUCKING YEAR??? WHYYYYY??"

so great

I live for those moments. My one friend had a McNabb away jersey which he used to whipe his ass with after they lost to the Pathers two years ago. Fucking hysterical.

That or the "we are so great no one can beat us" mentality. There is no middle ground.

good news, everyone!

according to elias sports bureau, the next five games for the new england patriots is the toughest 5 game stretch in NFL history based on the away games and the records of the teams last season.

(at carolina, at pittsburgh, home at san diego, at atlanta, at denver)

[Mayor Quimby]

(at carolina, at pittsburgh, home at san diego, at atlanta, at denver)

I bet they win atleast 4 of those 5. Loss probably comes against Pittsburgh. They will make Vick's numbers look even worse than normal.

[rickey]

Go patriots. Fuck the Colts.

[J.Re*]

i say 4-2 in week 6. unless there is a bye in there somewhere (which i assume there is) 5-1 in week 7

[:bang:]

so basically if the pats can score points against tough defenses and stop the run they win all of those? sounds like a sure bet

[StrideR]

I'm deeply worried. With the staff changes and injuries, I'm scared the team isn't healthy enough for this kind of challenge.

[kuumuus]

looks like the pats won't enjoy homefield advantage throughout the playoffs, and possibly a first-round bye. i think barring injury the colts are a lock to be the #1 seed, so it's probably gonna be pittsburgh and NE fighting for #2. that is unless some other team surprises us (*cough* billsjagschiefs)

[:bang:]

kinda silly to make statements like that. colts beat a team with out a qb, steelers beat a superyoung team. plus three of those teams didn't show much in week one. its too hard to make predictions in week 1-7

[kuumuus]

that's just the way i'm seeing things right now at the top of the afc. that was my opinion before the season began too. but yeah, a lot of the conclusions people have jumped to after one week are bullshit and quite ridiculous.

Curtis the Jackass NFL Lock of the Week
San Diego will defeat the Broncos.

Although not a lock I also think the Dolphins will beat the Jets.

[gravymaster]

No one is betting on who will win or not. The "lock of the week" should have to do with the spread!

[:bang:]

hey e dub
Roethlisberger could start

Ben Roethlisberger practiced yesterday and he should be able to start tomorrow's game against the Texans.
Roethlisberger, who has a bone bruise on his left knee, remains questionable on the team's injury report. Roethlisberger and Steelers coach Bill Cowher did not speak with reporters yesterday, but Cowher relayed through the team's media relations department that Roethlisberger's status against the Texans will be a "game-time decision."
Roethlisberger's knee was injured in the Steelers' season-opening victory against Tennessee last week. He had been probable until Thursday, when he was downgraded to questionable.
If Roethlisberger cannot play, backup Tommy Maddox will run the team. Maddox started for the Steelers for most of the 2002 and '03 seasons. Roethlisberger listed as questionable.
http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/05260/573271.stm
also
"Obviously, Tommy can handle this team," Roethlisberger told The Tribune-Review on Thursday, "but I'm going to make sure that I'm out there."

holy cow, no shit man.

I won't be listening to any sportsradio tomorrow, that's for sure

EDIT: wait, we have life. back to the TV

[Cole]

yeah, you scored twice in about 30 seconds.

and to add insult to injury, harrington and jones run into each other on a fucking 4th & 1.

um that was a wierd goal line stand. Jets will get a saftey now though because our Oline is disgustingly bad.

seahawks dominating the falcons at the half 21-0. i thought they would run all over us today.

The loss hurts, but it is on the road and against an NFC team, so it doesn't count as much, but it still hurts.

I'm still not sure if the ball crossed the plane on the first Panther's touchdown.

oh it's on, it's on like donkey kong

brady and big ben or... how about bettis and vinatieri?

FUCK YEAH

[:bang:]

oh it's on, it's on like donkey kong

brady and big ben or... how about bettis and vinatieri?
bill vs bill?

[kevin]

ohhhhhhhh yeeeeaaaahhhhh

first place

[Homer Jay]

Farve might be the most overrated player in NFL history

[doyle]

joe namath

[DAntae]

speaking bad of favre and or namath instantly will earn you piss in the face from me.

[thecapecoddah]

bill vs bill?

sure thing, that works too

[Roarke]

yeah, favre was handed 50,000 yards

wait, what?

[Curtis]

Tom Brady is overated, he is a medocre QB in a great system.

[Homer Jay]

Yeah, having the best record ever in the postseason makes a quarterback overrated.

[Curtis]

You could say the same about any player who has been during the past 4 seasons. He is in an effective season otherwise he would just be another 20 TD 15 INT QB.

[kevin]

stats aren't everything. just ask peyton manning

[Curtis]

Peyton just needs a defense and his stats would mean something. I would take Peyton Manning, Donovan McNabb, Daunte Culpepper (Yes, I know he has started bad) and Michael Vick over Brady.

[pat]

um. the colts have a good defense, dude.

[Rekart]

I would take Manning and maybe Vick over Brady. That's it.

[rickey]

What an ugly game today. The Detroit game and the Patriots game both actually.

[HomertheGreat]

defense looked great again, offense struggled a bit, but edge still had a good game.

also, daunte culpepper needs to stop fucking up my fantasy team...

[terriyaki]

dudes is carson palmer the real deal or what?

[Spartan]

that he is. but good lord, what on earth is happening to minnesota?

[pat]

lack of a defense?

whatever is happening, it's putting a big grin on my face.

[AllSussedOut]

favre is overrated?!?

brady is overrated?!?

what is with you people? homer jay, you should know better, at least. good lord.
