Football

most tv sucks these days, but there are some shining examples of good writing, acting, camera work, etc... we call those Deadwood and Arrested Development. Family Guy sucks ass, though...

Moderators: Batman, Zero, John Madden, Bob Ross, General Zod, Richard Simmons

Ooof. Denver would like to thank the Buffalo Bills for beating the Buffalo Bills.

Ugh. I don't even want to talk about it.

They fired the OC, who's only NFL experience was QB coach and replaced him with the QB coach.

Would they have fired him if they hadn’t had twelve men on the field when the other team missed their field goal and thus would’ve otherwise won the game?

He was the offensive coordinator, so he didn't have anything to do with the field goal. His play calling has been horrible and hasn't had the offense prepared for the games. They had trouble moving the ball, even against crappy teams like the Giants. From what I heard, the players were available to the media today, and they didn't seem to be too upset about him getting canned.

I guess you can play 57 minutes of shitshow football, as long as you play 3 minutes of excellent football at the end. That was fun.
Rooting for the Chiefs tomorrow.

Lions win was about as convincing as Michigan's win over Maryland.... but once again they're wins. Michigan has Ohio State next week if you want to warm up for Sunday on Saturday.

The only time its acceptable to want Ohio State to win.

Most Michigan fans are insufferable twits.
Fuck Harbaugh and his lying, cheating ass.

The MNF halftime round up guy pointed out that the last time Detroit and Cleveland had a combined record this good(8-2 and 7-3) at this point in the season, we hadn’t been to the moon yet. Lol.

I like the fact that JFK had only missed 1 Lions playoff win.

Just watched the Bye Bye Barry documentary on Prime.
It recaps Barry Sanders being drafted in 1989 after winning the Heisman at Oklahoma, his decade long stint with the Lions, and his abrupt retirement.
In between interviews with Barry himself, there’s a few celebrity Detroiters like Eminem and Jeff Daniels talking about his time from their perspective. And his four sons take a trip with him to London to discuss the reasons why he quit. It’s mostly a pretty rad 90 minute highlight reel of his games, including their one and only playoff win, and his single season rushing stat of 2053 yards. The dude just made everyone look foolish on the field. I know they’re only showing the best of the best of his runs, but holy smokes!

The best there ever was at making something out of nothing. Not even up for debate.

What is amazing is that he put up all of those crazy numbers and that it could have been way more. He had 145 runs where he lost a total of 615 yards.

I so very very rarely watch College ball. But those guys hate each other soooo much, and both coming in with 11-0 records, I had to tune in.
