2017 Quotables – Divisional Round (Results)

blaxabbath - January 19, 2018January 19, 2018

One of my favorite things about the postseason is that this is when stars are made. I mean, say what you will about Blake Bortles, he's an NFL quarterback for a conference championship game participant. What happened to Dak and Zeke since flaming out to an 0-1 playoff record in 2016?

blaxabbath - January 16, 2018January 16, 2018

I've not much to say that hasn't already been presented this week. Like many of you, I'm rooting for Jags v Vikings in the Super Bowl (and I expect the Vikings to just take directly to the streets if they win) but we all know it's going to be N*E

2017 Quotables – Wild Card Round (Results)

blaxabbath - January 12, 2018January 12, 2018

Nah, it's just the image. I don't actually have anything to say about the officials this postseason. I mean, nothing that hasn't been said already. Personally, I think they should just get rid of replay -- with the exception of coach's challenges, scoring plays, turnovers, and inside two minutes (which I

Six Seven Restaurant & Lounge, 8:47 am, January 11th, 2017 John Schneider: ...So I'm telling Traci, look, we really did expect to be in the playoffs this year. That I didn't make us plans for MLK Day isn't me neglecting the boys. Pete Carroll: Yeah, family is weird. Complain that you're working or complain that you're

Playoffs huh? I'm more of a Browns 0-16 Parade kind of guy myself. Well, I'm not here to comment on the quality of the games, gamesmanship, or game day experience. Though I will admit that I did watch the Bills game to the extend that I turned it on, literally, one

2017 Quotables – Week 17 (Results)

blaxabbath - January 5, 2018January 5, 2018

Congrats to those of you who made it through another successful regular season. The fans -- the silent heroes of the NFL (except in Seattle where they are just so loud/throw fish) -- I don't think get enough credit for the mental anguish they experience every year. I mean, Browns

On last night's open thread, BeerLoverPops mentioned: After first wondering, what kind of accommodating America First policy is it for the CFL to honour the NFL's 4-game ban (btw, we all questioning the source of Harrison's longevity now that he's in blue?), then wondering what the details were (nothing released but

Mother Lode, WeHo. 2:47 am, December 26th, 2017 A single patron enters the bar, immediately swiveling his head in all directions to ascertain the conditions of his surroundings, the young man immediately notices two things. First, the bar is decked out in festive -- though slightly different than his own tastes

Let me start off this week by saying that there is no buttception gif. I saw it, I got it, but then I realized that, in the NFL, butt stuff is only funny when it's tragic. Maybe if the pass had hit the receiver in the derrière, knocking him to

2017 Quotables – Week 15 (Submissions)

blaxabbath - December 19, 2017December 19, 2017

I'm still sore about being tossed off results last week, even though Balls did a fine job. This week though -- man. I don't have much to offer anyone. Selection was weak but, hey, if anyone is going to make lemonade out of lemons, it's all of you all. All of you

Tomi Lahren’s Final Thoughts: Heroes of Unlikely Skin Colors

blaxabbath - December 18, 2017December 18, 2017

Well, I do have some final thoughts on the Week 15 NFL side. Somehow, even though the league initials stand for No Fans Left, foolish advertisers are still paying gobs of money to see ungrateful athletes execute pre-determined game plans that results in rigged game outcomes! Think I'm wrong? What's

Welcome to your Week 14 Quotables submissions. Here in Cardinals Country, we're hanging on the final threads of, "If Atlanta and Seattle lose out, then we've only gotta have 14 other scenarios play out and we're getting a wild card!" So, naturally, most fan energy is focused on the Roy
