I don’t know how we did it. We watched a quadruple-header yesterday and there are no urine stains on the sofa. Not only that, but we’re back to watch this. I don’t use the word “heroes” very often but damnit!, we are heroes. We’ve slogged through some lousy ref calls, brain-meltingly bad throws by QB’s, shortages of beer, the nagging of significant others, carb-heavy food choices, glasses of scotch that refuse to remain full, mystifying third down play calls, kids demanding to be fed, half-hour late delivery guys and fridges/bathrooms that are much farther away from the tv than they should be. How did we do it? I don’t know-it’s a question for the ages…
Bal @ Ari: The spread here is boysenberry and ten. The Ravens are 0-5-1 against both. They are the masters of squeaking out the close loss-they’ve done it by 6, 4, 4, 3 and 5 for an average of 4.4. Where did the .4 come from? I’m no mathemagician, but I’m guessing a failed on-side kick or a shared sack or some such. I’d just like to say a little something about Mr. Chris Johnson. The guy is 30 years old and was an afterthought when he was signed by the Cards-Ellington was the lead guy and there was this rook stud by the name of David Johnson in the wings just biding his time until he took over. CJ was done-that blazing Cop Speed that his game was predicated on was long gone. He’s not the back that can hit a home run at any given time any more because he changed his style. At 203 pounds he’s taking a pounding running up the middle. I just can’t see a similar back, say Jamaal Charles, doing the same thing at 30. Why? Because he’ll be out for the season with an injury that year as well. Well done, Chris.

Brett Favre is now doing commercials for a razor blade. They should’ve gone with Deanna; she knows more than most about shaving a few inches off of things.
Wouldn’t Ray Lewis be a better pitchman for a blade-related product?

I’m gonna splurge and get a box of Ritz crackers and some sardines. Can someone loan me two bucks to cover the rest?
When I was working in Australia, we had a couple of former Rhodesians on the work crew.
Not a happy group of people. Not at all…
What a bunch of miserable pricks; every one of them a hundred trilionaire and still not happy?
Very…racist. When I was working in one of the electrical rooms, my phone started ringing where I had it sitting on the counter. The one dude picked it up and saw my girlfriend at the time’s photo (she was the one ringing me).
I spent the rest of the time there watching out for those fuckers throwing shit at me from the top of the crane. They did not like the fact I was fucking a black chick in town.

There’s something you don’t see every day…. Justin Forsett in the end zone.
Of course this will be the last team Smith plays for…. Someone’s gonna sever his spinal cord one of these games.
I might have made my second Fajita too big. I filled it with everything left so it ended up being like 3 lbs and the shell doesn’t even come close to being functional.

Steve Smith Sr:
Dear Ravens, you can’t run the ball, plez throw it.
Sincerely Yours, The Elite League of Eliteraordinary Gentlemen
Well, the Reason they can’t run it is they can’t block anyone, and i hear you need blocking to pass.
Not if you’re elite you don’t
It was illegal, but do you wanna tell Steve Smith that?
Offensive interference by number….never mind…FIRST DOWN!
I was watching the rugby this weekend and some Maori on the New Zealand team got a yellow card and my son says “I wouldn’t give that guy a yellow card no matter what he did.”
Rugby players are fucking terrifying.

Part of me wants to move to Zimbabwe with $2,000 and see how much of the country I could buy.
But then I’d be stuck in Zimbabwe.
I went Vietnam in 2002. At the hotel I converted a US$100.00 travelers check, and they gave me one-point-five MILLION Dong, the local currency. A cab ride across town would cost 10,000 Dong, which was like 65 cents American.
I had a similar experience in South Africa. I changed some US money at the airport and all of a sudden I’m holding a brick of weird currency with animals on it and no shortage of people willing to haul my luggage.
It was like a Jerry Richardson wet dream.
Even Michael Sam thinks that’s a lot of dong.
Is that from the take-a-hundred-billion, leave-a-hundred-billion jar at the Zimbabwe 7-11 ?
It’s so much fun when “billion” becomes part of the name of the currency rather than the denomination.

It was so sad when you were in Oprah’s audience ONE DAY BEFORE she gave away emancipation from lockers.
That’s how I got my locker; I was in the audience and Oprah was all “YOU get a car and YOU get a car and YOU…uh, you get in this locker” and then security grabbed me and now here we are.
True story.
Should’ve worn pants.
Or at least underwear.
In today’s NCAA that would have drawn a “targeting” flag.
I can’t wait to see Ed Reed become the first college football head coach ejected for targeting.

Wow, a sign of life from the Ravens secondary.
Okay, I’ll say it: This has been an entertaining football game with a lot of fun plays and it doesn’t suck at all.
I don’t know where you are, but I’m already afraid of the devastation the lightning bolt you just called down will unleash.
The AM radio broadcast has been engaging.

Evening everyone.
Checking in on the last game to avoid…re-education…
This is the prelude to a back breaking 99 yard drive.
No no, if you want a backbreaking drive, you’re going to wait until Steve Smith and the Ravens get the ball back.
That’s a *heart*breaking drive.
No no, you’re thinking of Gary Kubiak calling the plays for a Broncos drive.
I think this week’s Thursday Night game should have to be played in costume.
Should’ve been Jags versus Tennessee as they’d be going in costume of pretend NFL teams.
The Steelers could go as that girl from the Blind Melon video.

Calais Campbell must be the best player 90% of NFL fans don’t know about.
Got him as my defensive player in my ESPN money league. He’s been pretty great this year.
I thought he changed his name to Mohammed Ali

So elite.
To be fair, that kind of inaccuracy IS rare, so he’s elite for all the wrong reasons.
You make a very good point there.
Steve Smith’s body must just naturally produce Cortizone at this point.
He’s the bastard with that six foot oxy I’ve been hunting.
He would fight it for being taller than him.
I believe Jay Cutler has had 5 different OCs during his tenure in Chicago.
I’ll just leave that here.
Yet, they all had the same plan: Throw deep, behind scarecrows.

Did I just see a fat guy who was born without a neck wearing cole bottle glasses with a white helmet on with Cortez written on the front of it in masking tape?
Pretty sure I did.
“Adversity usually brings out the best in Joe Flacco…”
Like the six hours he spent fretting when he realized he was out of lite mayo AND Miracle Whip for his white bread, mayo sandwich. He ultimately decided to order out for a box of raisins and a glass of lukewarm water.
WHOA WHOA WHOA… order out? ARE YOU CRAZY!?!?! That’s RISKY!
I forgot Marc Trestman was the Ravens offensive coordinator but that is how he likes it, the more indistinct he is the more likely the guy trying to pick him out of a police line up will fail.
He’s like the Windowless White Panel Van of coaches.
Baltimore police really aren’t concerned with middle-aged white guys, anyway.
