Yeah, I might as well acknowledge you folks out west for once. But only just this once! These football-specific threads are always good for several hundred comments but I must tell you, the Saturday JV football/Footy thread is coming along quite nicely. Yesterday was hilarious on many fronts. All Hail King Hippo! and his gracious hosting-ness. Seriously, if you find yourself doing not much more than scratching your balls, you should have a look-see. As for today we must, as always, go… TO THE GAMES!
SF/Was: The Neeners are looking for the upset on the road that isn’t going to happen. Perchance they can take advantage of Dacteds cb Norman not being available. Just kidding-that would require competent play from one Bobby Hoying. That guy on the end of my fantasy bench gets his first call. Rook rb Perine will get the majority of the carries with Kelley out.
Chi/Bal: The Truth Biscuit era begins its second week. Those that dare to watch can tell their bored-to-death grandkids that they were there. I’ve a notion that the Ravens D will be dialing up more than a few looks that will confuse the youngster. Bally ftw.
Cle/Hou: (“They don’t pay me enough to do some of these game intros!”) Guh. Where are we? Right. This could have been a battle of the “How To Spell Your Qb’s First Name” but Kevin Hogan had to stick his nose in and ruin everything. HC Jackson, in his finite wisdom has decided that benching rook Kizer gives his team the best opportunity to ‘win’.
Mia/Atl: The Falcons have a shot at putting a bit of distance between themselves and Carolina in the NFC South today after booting their game vs. the Bills last week. That high-powered offense you keep reading about has only scored 15 more points than the D has given up. Miami? The most they’ve scored in a game this year is a measly 20.
Det/NO: The Saints have settled quite nicely into their inevitable 8-8 season by going 2-2 so far. You know the old saw-“You win some, you lose some, on alternating weeks for the duration of the season”. Puffy McStuffingface has actually thrown for one more TD (11) than the sentient robot arm that belongs to Drew Brees.
GB/Min: What is Aaron Rodgers going to do this week? I’ve no idea but I think the Packers are my new favourite one-man team.
NE/NYJ: The Jets are battling for first place six weeks into the season?! (“Try to use your words, scotchy”) I…this…NO!… (“Goddamnit!”) A certain Pats wr by the name of Chris Hogan has already surpassed his previous season-high for TD’s. He’s got 5 after just five games.
That’s all he wrote. Get crackin’, boys!
[*Redacted] s manage to shit the bed, but not bad enough to lose.
I’ll be on the road for the next game, Imaginary Internet Friends, but I plan to rejoin you for the last game of the evening.
Later, Taters!
And that’s it. Two points.
Spank my ass and call me Charlie no way did I think the Bears would pull that out
Better bend the fuck over Charlie, here I come!
So, A.A.Ron has a broken collarbone. It’s tough to put on ass-less chaps with just one arm.
He’ll audible to the loincloth.
PANTS OR CHAPS!
ASS-LESS PANTS ARE CHAPS!!

Today’s “Is it a catch?” bought to you by Miller Brewing Co…
This might just…happen. MAaaaaybe.
I will. I will dare hope that the first Niners game I see this year will be their first…not-loss. Fuggit.
Lions down by 7
SKINS DERPING
Bears 3 and out, Tucker FG, or Truth Biscuit turnover and Tucker FG?
Catch you all for the late game
Well, I’ll see all of you fine folks later tonight. Family function this afternoon, with alcohol so I’m going.
CJ CraigDOWN!!
The new celebration rules don’t prohibit goldfish, right?
Good miscellany memory hustle!!
Only in my dreams smh…
(crickets)
Oh, so none of you think power is sexy?
Well done, refs!

Jesus. 9 minutes to go and the Lions have the ball down 14.
Back to three points.
Very temporarily.
I’m surprised the refs didn’t rule that a backwards spike.
Wait. The lions are within 2 score. What the fuck?
Saints trying to out Falcon the Falcons
Thank you, CBS. I get to see the end of the Jets Screwjob.
They could start tanking for a decent 1st rou…who am I kidding. Slingblade would trade it for a 3rd, 4th, and three 7s in consecutive years.
Well carp.
No, pond. You find the carp in the pond.
THIS JUST IN: CHRISTIAN PONDER TO THE PACKERS!
“Enough with the swears!”

Have you burned out the lolbears tag yet?
Still smouldering the LOLJETS
“Triple holding against the Jets, 30 yard penalty…”
“Hyper False Start. Five point penalty, third down.”

So I got a ’99 jeep that I’m finally getting around to updating a bit. I’m thinking of plastidipping the wheels bc they’re alloy and I want to see how black looks before I decide to spend such money. The youtube videos make it looks pretty easy and with good results — anyone done it?
We all just saw green-haired Jets fan kid, yes?
Brett Hundley is really bad, y’all
Packers fan base is now down to four demands:
1. Sign Kaep
2. Beg Romo to leave the booth
3. WHAT’S MATT FLYNN DOING?!
4. Trade for Jay Cutler, since he has the most experience throwing to Packers.
Packers will still magically win that division al a 2013
5. McCarron would look lovely in Green and Yellow.
5. AH BET FAVRE STILL HAS A FEW MORE TEE-DEES LEFT IN THAT THERE ARM O’ HIS, GOTTA LOVE A GUNSLINGER WHO JUST LIKES TUH HAVE FUN OUT THERE
Would be worth it. It feels so long since the last time we all got to spam a live thread with “JUST HAVING FUN OUT THERE” during a multi-pick game.
Favre
5. Tebow, because at this point .. why the fuck not…
Is Majkowski still playing?
Rodgers with a broken collar bone?
ROMO TO GB?

(phones rings)
Uh, guys. The call may be correct. He fumbled on the 1 as he was falling out of bounds. Unless he still had two feet in bounds and nothing out of bounds when he recovered, the ball is out of bounds.
