[in the voice of Sir David Attenborough, noted documentarian]
“Here we see the common North American football fan in its lair. Sprawled amongst the bedsheets, it has had a mostly pleasant evening. Recent advances in the field of Dreamology indicate that the visions it has during the night consist primarily of unprotected and consequence-free sex with friend’s wives/husbands, teachers from high school, co-workers, waitresses, bus drivers, hobos, major political figures, deli clerks, people that held the door open, hair dressers, folks at the gym and individuals that have the STOP/SLOW sign at construction sites. There may be others but this area of Dreamology is getting bogged down in details to be honest. As it rises to face a new day it yawns and performs the ritualistic ‘vigorous scratching of the hind quarters’ and of course it must mark its porcelain territory as well.” [to be continued]
NYJ @ Mia: Miami has the home field advantage over in London but Ivory and Revis are back so that should even things out a bit. The Fins D has made Fitz-type (mediocre) QB’s look good. Tyrod and Bortles averaged a 92 QBR in their games against Miami. There’s talk already on fan sites that things are spinning out of control under Philbin. This implies that they were in a controlled spin before the season started which sounds about right. Seriously, a loss here will go quite far in determining how quickly/long they will #occupyAFCEastbasement. Across the field/ocean there’s plenty of huzzahs for Mr. Bowles who has applied a steady hand to the team in general and the D specifically. This sure looks like a sloppy romp by the Jets, doesn’t it?

Men…oh, men. Oh, I have a hangover like you wouldn’t believe.
So it turns out that gin-and-tonic martini wasn’t the best idea in the whole wide world of best ideas?
No, doing shots of that clear liquid in the bottle with all the Greek letters on it (courtesy of Balls of Steel) was what put me over the top.
TANNY FANNYDOWN!

The cheerleaders are too far from the fans/stands. In Jerry World they basically give you a lap dance.
They have to block off a load of seats, because it’s a soccer stadium with the front row of seats at field level, so if they put people sitting in them they wouldn’t be able to see shit.
Lamar Miller isn’t doing shit all day, is he?
Are there a lot of football fans in London? Or are they at the game because it’s a couple times a year thing, like baseball in the fall?
I honestly think they just enjoy Americans beating the shit out of each other.
Evidently because the NFL is hellbent on putting a franchise there before L.A.
There are a lot of fans, but if they move a team over they won’t fill a stadium the size of Wembley. A lot of the people there are NFL fans, rather than Dolphins or Jets fans.
From my informal survey on the Everton forum, the most popular teams are the 49ers and the Raiders.
Pass interference? So if the receiver didn’t fall down he was going to dive forward 7 yards?
Miami is finally unveiling the tried and true yellow offense.
Miami’s trying to top Chicago’s 10 punts
All you East coasters get to experience football for breakfast like we do in the West coast, except we get better games to watch. Go Boise State!
Yup. I’m glad they get the true West Coast experience. Bloody Marys for all?
This football for breakfast is almost like having an actual football for breakfast…
That’s Tower Bridge you moron.
Be happy he got “Tower” right.
How the hell did Paysinger get through British customs?
I can’t wait to find out Draft Kings funds ISIS and that Fan Duel is a North Korean-Iranian joint venture.
Wait, sober people under the age of 70 eat at McD’s?

DRINK!
Awful early for you, isn’t it Balls? Is it yesterday?
Hey, when you have a time traveling couch surfer, time is a four-side cube
I’m still on Australian time, so it’s tomorrow. Gotta go to work soon.
In addition to this game filled with drunk ass Americans, London is hosting a rugby World Cup match of Italy vs. Ireland . There haven’t been this may drunken non English types in London since World War II.
Brandon Marshall is my new favorite receiver because he got up after the incompletion and DIDN’T immediately make the “throw a flag” gesture.
GODFUCKINGDAMNIT

So, infuriating turnovers? Got it.

But does run with…56mL of fury???
“Survivor” and “2 Broke Girls” are still on TV. Would’ve thought the chick with the huge hooters would have found a new home on Skinemax already.
“Supergirl needs to be needlessly darker” – Zach Synder
So, we are in agreement that Draft Kings and Fan Duel have purchased the NFL, right?
This game has all the enthusiasm and pulse-pounding excitement of 1970’s era Masterpiece Theater
Does Fouts seem derpier than normal today?
He’s lost his fucking mind.
CTE is a hell of a disease
Wasn’t a ball carrier lowering their head supposed to draw a penalty?
I don’t see why it isn’t.
And the blood is….a bunch of dolphins. Dynamite drop-in Fouts.
Fitz is channeling his inner monarch today

Fitzmagic should’ve went for this look for the game in London
Fitzpatrick just pulled a Microsoft Surface Pro out of his beard.
Landry had a few too many Newcastle Brown’s
[HA! Yes!]
No such thing as too many of those.
Would love to know the UK equivalent of Mike Carey.
Cockney Birmingham ref?
That’s SIR Cockney Birmingham to you, you stupid Yank!
The refs tend to have final say on matters, and are usually a bit more animated in their dealings with players: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_K0ts859I4w
Oh thank fuckidy christ the in-game commercials are done in British.

Congrats to the 2 people who have Ivory on their fantasy team.
I somehow turned him into Jimmy Graham.

1-1 in the Derby, but Everton have the better run of play since going level.
May the London game stay shite until I can join.
Is the London game punishment or reward for the Officiating Crew?
I guess it’s a good thing they’re wearing black pants, you don’t want to be too far from a loo after an English breakfast…. lunch or dinner.
How many “Jet”-lag jokes before you guys kick me out?
One? Okay.
Landryhands!
Landry would’ve caught that in America….oh, nevermind.
Go Everton!
I’m taking Tonga over Arg. in the rugby because I like saying Tonga.
Tongatongatongatongatongatongatongatongatongatongatongatongatongatongatongatongatongatonga.
All the players and coaches look REAL happy to be on this side of the atlantic
HOW THE FUCK YOU DOIohhhhhh God, my head. Wineover. Too early for this shit….
Luck is OUT. That Jags game should be some quality teevee
Oof! Tanks! I’ll have to go with Palmer. (Pagano was adamant Luck was starting this week.
How come no one told me chugging Jager bombs in your mid-forties is not such a good idea? I wish there were someone I could sue.
I think after 35 you have to think like the tortoise-slow and steady wins the race.
Yea, I’m too old to keep going with this strategy….

The Italians are the lovers,
The French cook the food,
The Swiss run the hotels,
The Germans are the mechanics,
And the English are the police.

Don’t like the look of those pucks…
