Chicago - NO should be a good one...could be a lot of points!

[Captain Obvious]

Are you keeping score? That's the hard part, I don't know how I did last time - probably not so good. I gotta get back into the groove.



;D

Sunday September 18, 2011

Cleveland (0-1, Road: 0-0) 1:00 pm EDT
Indianapolis (0-1, Home: 0-0) CBS
Indy - Queebland is going 1-15 this year, they'll win over the hapless shehawks at home.

Tampa Bay (0-1, Road: 0-0) 1:00 pm EDT
Minnesota (0-1, Home: 0-0) FOX
This is a tough one, both lost their home opener and both have some qualities but aren't that good overall. I'll go with the home team Vikes. McNabb is awful though, I might regret this pick.

Green Bay (1-0, Road: 0-0) 1:00 pm EDT
Carolina (0-1, Home: 0-0) FOX
Green Bay, rookie Cam Newton can't have a second highlight reel start.

Seattle (0-1, Road: 0-1) 1:00 pm EDT
Pittsburgh (0-1, Home: 0-0) FOX
Steelers are going to vent their frustrations on the shehawks at home, mark my word. It will be ugly. Plus, we have our favorite ref calling the game.

Jacksonville (1-0, Road: 0-0) 1:00 pm EDT
NY Jets (1-0, Home: 1-0) CBS
J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets


Baltimore (1-0, Road: 0-0) 1:00 pm EDT
Tennessee (0-1, Home: 0-0) CBS
Fucking rats

Kansas City (0-1, Road: 0-0) 1:00 pm EDT
Detroit (1-0, Home: 0-0) CBS
Detroit - KC sucks donkey dick

Arizona (1-0, Road: 0-0) 1:00 pm EDT
Washington (1-0, Home: 1-0) FOX
Yeah, I'll go Steelers West - I don't trust the deadskins to win two in a row

Chicago (1-0, Road: 0-0) 1:00 pm EDT
New Orleans (0-1, Home: 0-0) FOX
NO - da Bears are probably over-confident at this point

Oakland (1-0, Road: 1-0) 1:00 pm EDT
Buffalo (1-0, Home: 0-0) CBS
Oakland - Buffalo can't repeat that success two games in a row and I'm starting to buy what Oakland is selling - believe it or not.

Dallas (0-1, Road: 0-1) 4:05 pm EDT
San Francisco (1-0, Home: 1-0) FOX
Here's a tough game. Girls looked pretty good against the Jets but they're on the road - short trip though. I'll go with the girls.

Cincinnati (1-0, Road: 1-0) 4:15 pm EDT
Denver (0-1, Home: 0-1) CBS
Easy one - Denver. At home and the bungles suck.

San Diego (1-0, Road: 0-0) 4:15 pm EDT
New England (1-0, Home: 0-0) CBS
My gut says the cheats but my heart says the bolts. Go with the bolts (and my gut).

Houston (1-0, Road: 0-0) 4:15 pm EDT
Miami (0-1, Home: 0-1) CBS
Another tough pick. While I tend to want to take the home team here, I'll go with Houston.

Philadelphia (1-0, Road: 1-0) 8:20 pm EDT
Atlanta (0-1, Home: 0-0) NBC
Wow - another tough one. I'll take Philly on the road.

Monday September 19, 2011

St. Louis (0-1, Road: 0-0) 8:30 pm EDT
NY Giants (0-1, Home: 0-0) ESPN
Man, these are hard. Rams.

[Conley]

I haven't been keeping score because for a while it looked like it was just going to be me and MMC.

Would be fun to make a contest of it...I guess we could just do SU not against the spread, and if people miss a week no big deal because we can just use the winning percentage at the end of the season. That'd be fun. I didn't make picks for week 1 but I could start with week 2.

[MMC]

I will make mine sometime after tomorrow morning. Depending on how much they got me doped up.

I'm sure he regrets that. :D


Even other team's QBs are mocking him:

Mark Sanchez laughed off comments Wednesday from Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who said Sanchez's photo spread in GQ magazine is "embarrassing" and "terrible."

"I think he was, obviously, making a joke out of it, and that's fine, giving me a good ribbing like the guys on our team," the New York Jets' quarterback said. "That's totally understandable, but I'm just happy that it ended up working out for a good cause and we got to partner with two great companies and one great charity."

Rodgers didn't sound like he was joking. During an interview with ESPN Milwaukee, the reigning Super Bowl MVP was handed a copy of the magazine.

"I mean, look at this here," Rodgers said. "That's embarrassing. Page 94 of the GQ thing here. That's terrible."

Rodgers went on to say that's "not really my style," and that he likes to maintain his privacy in the offseason.

:rofl:

[Mister D]

Who would allow that picture to be taken!? Well I guess Mark Sanchez would but I mean...c'mon. That is embarrassing.

[Captain Obvious]

I had a great pic of Tony Romo but photobucket deleted. "Violated terms of service" apparently.

[MMC]

White Pants and a black sport with white Trim..... ::)

This is not the picture of hustler. GQ.....my, how times Have changed. "What" we catering to the lame with flame. O0

[Conley]

Doesn't he know the rule? No white after Labor Day! 8)

Someone needs to remind him of Scarface and Tony Montana.....at least it had a white blazer to go with it. :D O0

[Conley]

Sad Day for Urlacher :(

http://espn.go.com/chicago/nfl/story/_/id/6968988/chicago-bears-linebacker-brian-urlacher-leaves-team-death-mother

Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher left the team to be with his family Tuesday after his mother, Lavoyda Lenard, died at her home outside of Mount Pleasant, Texas.

"My mother, Lavoyda, unexpectedly passed away Monday at her home in Texas," Urlacher said in a statement. "My first priority right now is to be with my family as we mourn her loss and make the arrangements to lay her to rest. This is a very difficult and emotional time for us and I sincerely ask that you respect our privacy. Thank you."

Lenard was 51. Lt. Brent Smith of the Titus County (Texas) Sheriff's Office said there was no evidence of foul play.

"Our thoughts and prayers going out to Brian and his family" read a tweet from Bears quarterback Jay Cutler.

[Mister D]

51 :-\

[MMC]

51 :-\


Holy Cow.....51 sheesh. I dunno, I am seeing a lot of younger people dying. Actors and actresses I grew up watching on black and white TV to. Sports celebs and Musicians. Funny how when you get older you start to notice these things a little more.

[Mister D]

:roflmao: Apparentl, Bruschi was going off on Ochocinco and thught this was funny.


But it's some kind of crime for Ocho to be impressed with Tom Brady? He's not allowed to marvel at a 517-yard passing performance? The man was a Cincinnati Bengal for 10 years. It's like someone gets released from a Malaysian prison after 10 years, then moves into Oprah's house, and you expect him not to notice that the flooring is a little bit nicer.

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdown_corner/post/Tedy-Bruschi-is-mad-at-Ochocinco-for-appreciatin?urn=nfl-wp7080

[Conley]

:rofl:

That's a hilarious comparison. I had heard about Brushci but the article above makes a good point. :D

[Conley]

Unsuspecting Chargers fans in two sections of Qualcomm Stadium were showered with money during the San Francisco 49er preseason game. When Club level server Heather Allison tripped on a stair, about $1,000 flew out of her hands landing under seats, in laps and sailing over the railing into the lower Field section.

“All my customers began screaming over the railing to the people below: ‘That’s the servers’ money,’ ” recalls Allison, who has sold refreshments in Sections 36 and 37 for five years. Fans helped collect the stray bills and, amazingly, so did the crowd below. Within 10 minutes, a security officer brought a stack of cash back up to her. “It was all there,” says the mother of four and full-time student who, after paying the concession, still pocketed $170 tips. “Chargers fans are amazing,” she says. “We’re like a family.”

http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2011/sep/14/money-rains-on-chargers-fans-in-freak-accident/

Ah yes, San Diego, where everyone is so friendly and nice. Even the football fans. Which is why half the stadium is full of the other team's fans and why we have no home field advantage to speak of. >:D OK, I'm kidding it is great that this lady got her money back, that is more important than winning a game.

[MMC]

Yeah and at the end of the Video could we see Rivers throwing a football and then hitting her in the head with it.....Autographed Football with a Message. Hold on to ya money. She smiles and then waves to Phillp. >:D

:D :D Pretty sure she would not be smiling after getting pegged in the head with a football, but maybe the women you hang out with in Chitown are tougher than our betties here in Cali. >:D

I can't even imagine caring about football after losing my Moms...but if I were in his shoes it would be a good distraction. Whenever I played it shut my mind off to everything outside the field and that was a good thing. May be the same for him.

Yeah and what better way to take out one's frustrations on another human being. Thats why I could Never be a boxer. I would be fighting and talkin to much. Start kickin the guys azz and be talkin about oh yeah you remember that shit don't you. Remember 76 mofo.....oh yeah you going to pay for that one. Blaze out his face with a flurry of punches. Yeah how you like it now. Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide.

I could hear the ring commentator now.....8 rounds to 1 in favor of MMC. We gave the other guy that last round when MMC started talkin to the ring post as if he was holding a conversation. :D

[Conley]

Haha...hey now plenty of champs been trash talkers now.

Bears D beats be counting him for one pick per game at the least.....Yes soon game time will be here and I expect this place will die down then.
Da Bears win this one they jusent a message to the league in the NFC. That would be the top 2 teams in the NFC they have taken out already. With the Packers coming up next week. Which it's payback time. Leaving only Philly to get in the way. But just like last year.....Da Bears. Got the Answer for Vick. ;)

[Conley]

I think Philly is better than either the Aints or the Dirty Birds.

I'd put the other NFC teams (besides Da Bears) like this:

1. GB
2. Philly
3. Aints
4. Dirty Bs

I hopes Urlacher and Co knock em all out.

All of Fox's crew pick the Saints to win.....Game Time My brutha's. Plus break time. Da Bears now just needs to make Jimmy Howie and Terry and Frank all look like the chumps they are. GO BEARS!

[Mister D]

Watching the Jets now.

[Mister D]

Looks like the Steelers are going to lay a serious bitch slap down on the "Shehawks" today.

[Conley]

Yep, there are some really bad teams this year and I think Seattle is one of them.

KC and Jacksonville too.

When I turned on the Jets I thought I was watching the wrong game. What's with those blue uniforms?

Throwbacks to what though? They are a relatively new team and I remember Joe Namath's uniform. When the camera zooms out it looks like a Chargers game. Dark blue jerseys and gold pantaloons. Anyway, the Jets are spanking the Jags. The Chargers are on next.

[Mister D]

Ohhh its' the Chargers and the Pats. :o

Yep, I hope the Chargers have a chance...but I think they are going down.

MMC's Bears and Cutler in particular look pretty rough :(

Weeell...I appreciate that but even tho the score is 7-7 Tom Shady is having all day to throw. SD had to work a lot harder to get their score. We'll see but I still think the Pats win by 7+

Yeah, Brady is amazing to watch. He runs that offense so quickly. :o

Yep I was stunned Brady didn't complete it...we got lucky.

Urrgh. I hate the Cheats. >:( >:(

Heh...I do but the play calls on 2nd, 3rd and 4th were terrible. Especially the two times running right into the heart of the NE D. Stretch it wide and they don't have the speed to pursue. Our Head Coach Norv Turner is horrible. He hasn't even won half of his games. He tries to be well liked by his players...until he's fired they don't have a chance at the Super Bowl

[Conley]

FTS...turning off the TV

:D C'mon! The Chargers are driving right now. I bet they score. 8)

The Chargers and I are gonna stick this out. >:(

OK that interception hurt.

Hey, they are making this a game.


:D Oh, D. I love your enthusiasm...wish I shared it. These are the Chargers. I've been watching them snatch defeat from the jaws of victory for a few years now. Three boneheaded turnovers and another TD for the Pats. :(

I don't know, bro. This is still game. 5:40 left and down by a touchdown. Plenty of time to pull ahead. Now they have to go after Brady. Bury his punk ass under an avalanche of large, frenzied Negroes! >:(

The good news for the real AFC contenders like Pitt and the Jets is that the NE D is pretty crappy.

and MMC wonders why my post count is so high :D >:D 8)

[Mister D]

You can see how they're a frustrating team to cheer for though, right? All the talent in the world and the collective intelligence of a golden retriever :-\


So much for my enthusiasm. It was valiant effort in my eyes but you are obviously much more familiar with the Chargers. Frequent close losses are frustrating.

Yeah I have likened it to Charlie Brown asking Lucy to hold the football...year after year of this bs and it takes all the fun out of it. You can't even enjoy the wins that much because they're against teams they should beat, and you know if they make the playoffs they'll just choke again. Sorry I sound so negative! Sometimes I enjoy games where my teams aren't playing more than ones I am emotionally invested in.

It's been a long while since I followed a team but I think I can understand. I honestly enjoy not having a team. You never get angry and the close games are almost always enjoyable.

In any case, I'm enjoying this season so far. Why next week I think I'll order me up some wings and pizza. :o 8)

Danny White and the Cowboys, actually! My brother and father are Giants fans so we always had fun Sundays. ;D

He has close to a 1000 yards in two games! :o

Glad you are enjoying the season so far..you should make your own pizza and wings! just get a boboli crust.

Randy White was on the same team. ;D

Ah, pizza is one of those things I would never make at home. I could probably make good wings with some practice but I know you have to keep tabs on them. I've heard horror stories about the fat starting to burn and generating a lot of smoke.

It might even be the method. Maybe you aren't supposed to cook them above a certain temp at first?

I thin that's it. I remember seeing a cooking show about this and I'm pretty sure it was something about the temperature.

[Conley]

Also:

"Alton Brown has a recipe over on FoodNetwork.com that calls for steaming the wings beforehand, then refrigerating them for an hour before baking.

I've made them this way a couple of times, and they've come out really excellent -- the steaming pulls out enough fat that the skin then dries out a little in the fridge (I left mine for 2 hours and it made a huge difference)...then they get really crispy in the oven."

There is a great discussion on different methods / recipes here:

http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/741271

I may have to give it a go.

I think it might have been his show called Good Eats. I used to watch that show although I don't watch the Food Network much anymore. It's getting to be like MTV in the sense that they have all this special BS on now. Contests and reality crap. I just want to watch a cooking show.

Anyway, thanks. I may try this too. The way it's described it seems like you can actually make wings into a healthy snack. If the texture is the same or close enough I may cook the often. It's all about the taste though. It's one of the few bad foods I eat so I'm not giving up deep fried wings for an inferior baked version.

[Conley]

I had to go on a run to vent my Brady Hate >:D

Yeah, if you can actually make them crispy by baking them then I'd be very interested. Texture is important.

[Captain Obvious]

I'm the wing king, it's my fix. Found a new wing joint, they make them on Mondays. A little pricier than the last joint but way better.

Wings - if you're deep frying them, the oil has to be hot. I'm not sure how hot actually but it's tough to do on a stove top, commercial fryers work better.

If I'm making them indoors, I bake them - at around 400, 450 or so. The only problem is that the grease is sticky, they stick - even to glass baking dishes.

I generally grill them, way easier. On charcoal and I just cut the tips off - keep both segments together, makes it easier to deal with on the grill. High heat coals, flip often until they're almost burned. Then I just make a sauce - I do basic buffalo wing sauce, half margarine (not butter), half Franks. My wife makes her own, some tutti fruity shit.

They're fantastic, I'll take a pic of the next batch I do.

[Captain Obvious]

Man, that SD game sucked. I turned it on half way in and thought the bolts might, might just pull one out.

They pulled out alright.

[Captain Obvious]

Oh yeah, and I hit those wings with standard season salt. I use basic season salt on most everything I grill, I get more compliments when doing so.

Grilled some steaks yesterday and just put some of that salt on them and yeah, they were outstanding.

Right on...when I bake I use foil because yeah, you will never get that grease off.

They're f'ing morons. Even usually reliable Rivers made a few bonehead plays. It's the same chit, new year. ::) Hopefully your Stillers can knock em out of the Playoffs.

[Conley]

just turned on the game

what happened to vick the prick?

he got hurt already? figured it'd take a few weeks. kafka is in.

looks like a good one.

[Conley]

I thought Vince Young was the backup too.

[MMC]

OK that interception hurt.


Now that was funny D.....ok.....that interception hurt. :D :D ;D

Yean and I saw ya hit the TV CL......no need to beat up the electronic devices. ;)

[MMC]

Looks like the Steelers are going to lay a serious bitch slap down on the "Shehawks" today.


They did too.....

I ended up 9-6 going into tonights game. I have the Giants winning.

1st week - 10 wins 6 losses
2nd week- 9 wins 6 losses.

[MMC]

Well Da Bears had their azz handed to them. Started off alright. Then on that 3rd and 12 Brees got lucky with the Bomb and that changed the whole complection of the game.

Did you see how Cutler acted thru-out the game. Sitting on the bench, bitching, and throwing an attitude. Then they showed the whole team standing down on one side of the field and Cutler down by himself on the other end. Then in the 3rd quarter Cutler was just throwing the ball away. I sat and listened to WUSS-ASS Troy Aikmen make all kinds of Excuses for Cutler and then deflected to all the sacks wuss man takes. Then they kept talking about the Bears line. All the changes etc etc. He ended up with 6 sacks getting put on his ass. He did not throw an interception but he did fumble. So 2 games and two turnovers. If his ass was a real QB he wouldnt have took have the sacks. He would be able to read the blitz, which he just cannot seem to do.

Problem is Da Bears proved they could run block even if they couldn't pass block. So to me it is the Head Coach's job to do what it takes to win. Notice Lovey Dovey didn't do a damn thing. Except to run out for a couple Big Macs afterwards. What a biznitch.

He should have pulled Cutler in the 2nd quarter and handed the reins to Hanie. Moreover he should have contacted Martz's azz in the Box and told him to start running the ball. Then Cutler would not have fumbled. Here he gets two first downs just threw the ball 5 times and now comes back with a first and ten. Then has Cutler throw again. What a joke that was.

If I was the owner I would call DeAngelo, Lovey, and Martz to my office immediately and laid down some law to their asses. They grab all these defensive line guys. But have none for the offensive line and none for linebackers and cornerbacks. That is the General Mgr and the Head Coach's fault.

[MMC]

I thought for sure the Ravens would beat TN. Then I thought the Vikings had that game won. TB coming back was a :o.

The Falcons was a surprise as well. The Miami game was my 50-50 same with Indy. Or I should say my Iffy Games. Thought Miami would win with being the home team. But for some reason they just cannot win at home.

Vick gets concussed. Cutler get bum-rushed. But two of the Bears Offensive line guys went down. Heard something happened to Big Ben too.

[Conley]

It was entirely personal. The coach and GM didn't get along, and rather than work it out they decided to fire the coach. ::) There was never a legit explanation given and due to the timing of it (late in the year), the only coach they could get was this ex-Raider and Redskin guy who is absolute dogmeat.

It happened four seasons ago and each year they've gotten progressively worse. The year he was fired we were a few minutes away from the AFC championship. With the new coach, here's how each season has gone: his first year, 2 playoff wins, next season 1 play off win, 3rd season lost the first game of the playoffs, and last year didn't even make the playoffs. See a trend there? :D

I'd expect a lot of people to be up in arms over that. Not just pissed off fans either. a lot of money is at stake, WTF?

[Conley]

I know...people who take it seriously have gotten pissed. There's nothing really anyone can do about it.

Interesting that you bring up money. There are some (more than a few actually) who think that the team isn't trying as hard as it could because they want to move the team to Los Angeles. The owners can make a lot more money if the team is moved there (much larger market), but they have to justify it. A crappy team means fewer fans in the seats, which gives them the justification to move the team (the other NFL owners have to approve the move). I'm not saying that's what's going on but there are certainly economic factors in the mix. I think the team will end up in Los Angeles regardless though. See, the NFL is a thinking man's game, with all the intrigue of world politics! ;D

It's such an incredible waste of time. I recognize this and yet...for some reason I follow it. I don't even enjoy my own team! >:( ??? :D

I know...people who take it seriously have gotten pissed. There's nothing really anyone can do about it.

Interesting that you bring up money. There are some (more than a few actually) who think that the team isn't trying as hard as it could because they want to move the team to Los Angeles. The owners can make a lot more money if the team is moved there (much larger market), but they have to justify it. A crappy team means fewer fans in the seats, which gives them the justification to move the team (the other NFL owners have to approve the move). I'm not saying that's what's going on but there are certainly economic factors in the mix. I think the team will end up in Los Angeles regardless though.

Not if you enjoy the game. Honestly, as much as I tend to agree with some cultural critics that it's a bread and circuses distraction I really don't want everyone involved in politics. Then again, at this point the more outrage the better. Rise up!

Back to football. We can take the politics elsewhere.
