Lesser Footy Before the Madness

Yes, it’s almost time to be consumed with our office pools and the like.  But first, there is some unfinished business in the Prem worth watching, like the amazing seasons of strikers Harry Kane (Spurs) and Romelu Lukaku (Everton).  It’s quite refreshing that neither of the marquee goal scorers plays for one of the “Sky Five” and one will get to see them face off head to head this Sunday at White Hart Lane (8:30, NBCSN).  Sunderland later host Man City (11:00, NBCSN), but the early fixture is the match of the weekend.

Not to worry, there are still Saturday fixtures.  If one wakes early (or has a West Coast Friday night bender that includes beak, as the Brits call it), yeah right’s Cherries start us off invading Old Trafford (7:30, NBCSN).  On 26 points through an equal number of matches, Bournemouth can feel the gravitational pull of the relegation zone, even from 14th position.

Speaking of said zone, Leicester/Hull is a classic “six pointer” and the lead dog of the 10:00 window (NBCSN).  Fellow plankton Palace take on 8th position West Brom (CNBC), along with various other mid/low-table rabble on Extra Time (Watford/Soton seeming mildly interesting to me).

4th position Arsenal invade Liverpool’s largest public outhouse to take on the 5th position Redshite at 12:30, but only get NBCSN coverage.  As well they should, given how lousy both these sides have been playing of late.

Finally, as if Stoke weren’t embarrassed enough last Sunday at WHL, they go to the Eithad to meet Man City for Monday Night Footy (3:00, NBCSN).  Prepare thine anuses, mutants.

Sorry, misread the schedule – that’s next week.  Tis the Hammers and Chelsea this Monday.  My bad.

I’m watching myself cook some eggs.

There’s eggs in vodka, right?

No, I’m preparing that separately.

But is there vodka in the eggs?

So gymnastics is on NBC.

Is anyone at all surprised by the sex abuse scandal hitting US women’s gymnastics other than it took this long for a scandal like this to come to light?

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I guess I’m surprised that the one coach had so many and that somebody didn’t gut him and make him eat his intestines as a last meal.

Met with my real estate agent to sign paperwork to send off a bid for the property I am interested in.

I felt like vomiting when it came to looking at the numbers.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Siemian is not the fucking problem.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

OL and middle of the D are priorities, and there is not much cap space to sign somebody without neglecting signing good players at positions of need. Siemian is the answer for next year unless Romo plays for a lot less than he could get almost anywhere.

Lynch has three years, then the option year on his contract; he could be a backup for another year easy. He is still very raw.

Also it was essentially Siemian’s rookie year; don’t be so quick to write him off. Mike McCoy – Offensive Coordinator and Bill Musgrave – Quarterbacks have gotten good years out of QBs before.

You are sounding like a typical Donks fan; quit it.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Cult following like Tebow? WTF? What are you smoking? He has a LOT more haters than people who actually evaluate him on his merits. He is a band aide starter and would be an excellent backup. He could flourish with an OL and running game like Dallas’, unfortunately the Donks are nowhere near that. If you had lived in Colorado during the Tebowtard years you’d realize how silly that statement is, come on, man.

LT may be a UUUUUGE problem again…. AGAIN. Fixing the OL has got to be the priority. The draft may pan out that they have to take best available rather than position simply because there is a shit ton of good TEs and WRs

I link a couple of articles you may want to check above.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Also; who gives a shit what the fans think; I went to a few practices and watched Tebow; one of the worst QBs I have seen in the passing game EVER (college & NFL), but you could hear them talking that the receivers were fucking up.

Anyway; let’s see what this coaching staff comes up with; I think it is a good staff to work with the offense.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Here is the current cap space estimate;
http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/cap/
Considering the priorities and the LT position I don’t think there will be a huge amount left to sign Romo, who is BA.
This asshole does a fair job cutting it down to available size:

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I just think combining him with the OL and paying that much for 8-10 games is too much, but I trust the Horse.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Agreed on the OL; they will have to make offers that other teams won’t match, so they will be slightly over-paid for value.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

They tried a few times for him, plus I think he is starting to break down body-wise. Still an improvement even if short-term.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Staley is a bit broken too. I don’t think they’ll have too many choices and it will be temporary and a WIP. Shit.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Don’t go Raiders of old on us.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

They do need someone in the slot, which they have been trying to fill since concussion man. If he can return well, that would be fine, but what I have seen in scouting reports is he needs route work and technique work, but that’s OK. McCaffery is versatile and athletic, I just don’t think he is 1st round material and he’ll be gone when their pick in the 2nd comes around. I think he’ll be a solid player, just not as good as a 1 or high 2rd round good.

Horatio Cornblower

Al Davis is going to return from the grave to draft him in the first, second and third rounds.

I’m cleaning the toilets at halftime. That makes me unfuckingtouchable for the rest of the day, right?

Pretty sure it means to up the cherry count to make the pie better…. less syrup and a higher cherry to crust ratio.

All right, as with every year during the combine I’m doing my own version. Due to the fact I have done ZERO training for it this year, I’m not expecting my numbers to be very good. I already did the vertical leap (24″ which is an inch less than last year and four off my peak) and will be doing the broad jump and 40 momentarily. Anyone got a soundtrack request for the eventual 40 video?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Also I’m a little hungover.

Watford with the late equalizer!

Never mind. Southampton up 3-2.

The Watford bench is so deflated, Brady just threw it to Edelman for a first down on 3rd and 11.
