Hear ye, hear ye, I don’t have any Sunday morning errands/chores to do because football starts so early! Of course the down side of this is that I should be ‘football-ed out’ by about 7:30 this evening. Whatever. This London game is great in theory-NFL fans in the U.K. get to watch a game live. It’s a treat. Sure the games have not been of the best quality nor has the field been in the best of shape (I recall a Fins/Giants tilt from a few years back that was a mushy, slippery, rain-drenched eyeball-scorching travesty of an affair) but..I have nothing to end this sentence with. (aside from a preposition) TO THE GAME!
Indy/Jax-The Colts have a comfy 21-9 series lead and their entire starting D on the field for the first time this year. Their goal? Be average. That’s all it will take to beat a Bortles that has clearly regressed from last year. Opposing D’s have locked down on wr Robinson, limiting the damage he can do and Blake has time and again misfired on passes to Hurns (he of the 1000+ yards and 10 TD’s last year) and Lee. This is where a young running back should be stepping up and Yeldon has done so 2.5 yards per carry at a time. So the Jags are gonna lose. So do they fire Bradley? Probably. But this brings up the issue of who replaces him. The OC Greg Olson doesn’t look like a ready candidate and DC Todd Wash was just promoted from D-Line coach in January. No matter what happens, the Jags seem likely to have lost one year of competitive football.
Now take a big swig of that Bloody Mary and LET’S GET GOING!
Bright side for Pagano…if the Colts leave him in London he can see a real savings on post-cancer follow-up care with NHS.
Yeah, about that …
So apparently the 2 minute drill for Jax depends on the defense going fucking insane and giving away penalty yards.
And the Colts are going along with the plan.
BLOODY ‘ELL! Wanker penalty!!!
Can’t wait for halftime to be told what a great game this is…
But do the fans in London really love what they’re seeing?
Trump would blame it on the acoustics. “Of course this a great game. Probably one of the greatest games played this week. Many people have been saying this to me.”
Believe me.
Having watched nearly every game since he’s joined the Humps…I honestly can’t think of a single time where Luck spotted the blitz and made a quick adjustment to beat it.
They said the same thing about Neville Chamberlain
That was good. Bravo.
he doesn’t cotton to your hurried notion of time, English
Kevin James is funny like Donald Trump is rich–you hear a lot about it from people who like them, but they both refuse to release any proof to back up their claims.

Looks like Al Pastor. Good stuff.
When you deliver a representation of your national pastime to a foreign land, it’s always wise to send the finest examples available for obvious reasons.
So we sent Blake Bortles and Hodor…brilliant.
That was a great play fake. Well done.
the Jaguras faithful liked that
Every time ESPN, (I really can’t be blamed for changing the channel on this game), shows Britt McHenry I keep hoping to see her car being slowly towed through the background.
Low on tight ends already..
just what this fixture needed, another stoppage in play
So D’qwell got a free helmet hit on Robinson?
well, he DID spin the ball in response. Totes equivalent.
/the catch goes away too, fucking fantasy owners
Fucking fantasy owners.
Isn’t that the name of Mike Tolbert’s biography? (ok, that is dated, still going with it)
Try adjective.
This close to France, you’d think all those flags would be white.

That fucking rug can vacuum itself; Momma’s callin’ it a day!
I know we’re talking shitty football, but shitty baseball is a thing too. Thanks for blowing a 3-0 lead in the Bronx last night Baltimore. Now I not only gotta sweat today, but maybe tomorrow and the next day too!!! Jerks.

I’m hoping the Yankees roll over for the O’s just to fuck over the Jays.
Bravo saves a pen to keep it a 2-nil
Is this game just all commercial breaks?

oh my
I think Joe Strummer prophesized this game when he wrote “London Calling”.
“Tell them I’m not home.”
Is Vinateri ever gonna get old?

I seriously did not do enough with my younger “wild” years.

You’d think after all we’ve done for the U.K. over the years they’d have the common courtesy to be on the same time zone.
Surprised Gore didn’t draw a yellow for simulation there.
If I scored a TD in a London game, my celebration would be the Ian Curtis epilepsy dance. Britons would love it.
(I’m aware I won’t be scoring any TDs in a London game.)
Rough day for Ian, in addition to being dead, he’s also a City fan, FFS
Shit, now you fuckers got me listening to Joy Division.
This is not good for my overall depressive state, assholes.
Are we to the point where we throw in the towel on Luck? That he’s good and can put up some numbers — but the clots aren’t winning any championships with him?
Phillip Rivers II: The Politening?
I’d like to see the front office throw some money at the D before I adopt that stance.
and/or the OL
So they need to become the Saints?

Jax Fact: Bortles not only refers to the starting QB for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Terminal syphilis patients develop painful pockets of pus under their skin all over their body. When they break open, the virus is very easy to spread and will cause further loss of tissue. These pockets of pus are known as “Bortles”.
Shown above are two patients from the turn of the century with large numbers of Bortles on their face.
Required listening before attending any Saints game.
Lord knows I’ve attended a few. That damn DJ Taj and his bad influences.
Shit. I forgot to get cigs for today. Or I lost a pack. I think it was the latter. I have to make a run at halftime
Bunch of people sitting around in random NFL jerseys for a terrible on-field game product outside the the continental US?
Is this the Pro Bowl?
I was thinking the LA Coliseum.
I thought I read that the Raiders were still pulling a large (if not larger than RAMIT) share of the LA tv viewership from OAK.
I can confirm that there are more Raiders fans than Rams fans here.
It helps explain the random gang shootings as well.
Once Hillary takes away our guns, the next thing she’s gonna go after is our Raiders!!
Heh heh heh heh heh……insert.
There’s a war of attrition going on in London and no one invited me?

OK, dump is over. I’m doing as TSG suggested and getting my ass back to bed. Catch y’all in a few hours.
Wash your hands before masturbating. Just saying.
I heard the Colts cheerleaders couldn’t make the game, so they hired a local replacement:

Stupid MTWV, I should have gone British girls when I got bored/annoyed/hungry/etc, I could have still gone redheads anyways.
I’m starting to think Blake Bortles isn’t very good, guys…
I really like to imagine that Peyton Manning is constantly being harassed by random people who just redo his fucking annoying pitches right back at him.
Here is a British girl version of Colts vs. Jags:

Do they just get really really close yet never score?
Early morning football?
Colts vs. Jags?

Here’s the genius of the NFL. You’d never catch me watching Colts-Jags, but put it on at 9:30 in the morning when there’s nothing else but political talk shows, infomercials, and local news, and I’m all in.
I set my alarm for it
The joy of being an insomniac is never having to throw the alarm clock thru the window.
Broken clock being right and all…

I’m all for respect, but while playing you are At Attention when you’re playing. The first condition is Standing Upright.
they should at least have British commentators and Rebecc-er Lowe in the studio FOAR London games.

I am shocked SHOCKED I TELL YOU that RTD is awake at this hour and watching the Jaguras. The rest of you, I think, are on East Coast time so you finally get a taste of life in the West Coast.
RTD, you have no excuse. As for me, I’m taking a dump. No, that’s not a euphemism for watching this game, I’m literally doing my old man duty.
Just keep the fingers clear.
HALT THE FECAL ORAL TRANSMISSION ROUTE PPL…NEVAR GO ASS TO MOUTH.
Well, almost nevar.

Jesus, you can see men scrambling all over the side of the ship before the explosion. Nightmare shit.
A little while back I made a joke about Trent Green attempting to answer a brick. I regret that now. Out of respect for the London game, I should have referred to it as a “cobble”.
