Only Delhomme Lived Up to His End of the Turnover Bargain
And that’s too bad, because it would have been tremendous to watch Jerry see the first two games in his Colossatorium blow up in his leathery face. Not that Romo didn’t give the Panthers a host of chances at interceptions with a raft of ill-advised throws. So we were limited to one agonized Wade Phillips hunch down of defeat.
Remember, it is only still late September. There is plenty of tantalizing Cowboys failure to come. There’s not going to be a Delhomme to deposit the ball in Terrance Newman’s chest at critical moments every week.
As for Carolina, Tar Heels season isn’t that far in the offing.
[Thanks again to reader Rafael for the .giffage]
Without a doubt, that’s the most obvious sign ever handed out by ESPN producer. HOORAY TEAM-NEUTRAL PLACARD IN SUPPORT OF THE BROADCAST THAT I’M BEING PRESENTLY FEATURED ON!
And what’s this? On the same night that promotional pendants were distributed at the gates by desperate Ford execs who have paired up with the old Double J to instill confidence in the brand? What’re the odds?
“Don’t take my Ford logo. That’s the only way you know it’s a Ford!”
Not that Jerrah was getting identified correctly anyway. HEAD TRAININ’? NOT WHEN I GOT CAGE DANCERS TO DOUBLE TEAM IN THE PRIVATE JET!
UPDATE: Here are some reader submitted shots from the game. Hooray for crowdsourced pictures people take of their TV!
No Delhomme implosion is complete until its topped off with a trademark Cajun Flail of Exasperation.
Also, apparently Julius Peppers goes from glower to full-on golf course clownmouth almost instantaneously. Observe.
Don’t think they don’t measure that reaction time at the combine.

Just for fun, can you throw in the Jake Delhomme “Aw Shucks” FAIL-Gif?
September 29th, 2009 at 1:17 am
@Gamecocknballs
Delhomme auditioned a new “aw shucks” move tonight:

The guy in the Roy Williams jersey is sad that the store was all out of black face paint.

That stupid pick six cost me my fantasy game since my opponent had the Dallas D. More like Jake “day light come and you gotta fucking retire because you suck as a quarterback” delhomme.
September 29th, 2009 at 2:28 am
Please don’t use fucking used-up Berman words.
Nobody should be subject to those lame-assed attempts at being funny.
September 29th, 2009 at 3:02 am
@sportzak, yeah i feel your pain. I was all well only got the Dallas D on his team left to play and i’m up by 14.5 pts, should be fine. Bastards.
September 29th, 2009 at 3:23 am
I have Romo, Purple Jesus, Colston, Andre Johnson, Randy Moss, Giants D and a couple of others.
And LOST. 101.25-100.75.
Next week I get Marshawn back for the Bills.
September 29th, 2009 at 3:24 am
Oh and the Matron Saint looks quite spankable.
September 29th, 2009 at 8:48 am
I love watching Jake work himself into a Kenneth the Page style rage.
“Goldarnit!”
“Aw, applesauce!”
“For the love of Pete!”
September 29th, 2009 at 8:49 am
I have Romo, Purple Jesus, Colston, Andre Johnson, Randy Moss, Giants D and a couple of others.
Are you in a four-man league?
Next week I get Marshawn back for the Bills.
Enjoy the soothing cool of Fred Jackson’s shadow.

I was extremely disappointed by the lack of cage dancers shown in last night’s game. However, the “A” squad cheerleaders were there in full force.
September 29th, 2009 at 9:21 am
Otto – 8 people. I was out in the field that day so Yahoo auto-drafted for me.
September 29th, 2009 at 9:22 am
my favorite from the liveblog was “dawwww horsefeathers!”
September 29th, 2009 at 10:11 am
What’s Wade Phillips’ problem there? No post-game ding dongs?
September 29th, 2009 at 10:17 am
Well I did the sorta fannish, as much a fan as you can be of THE PAINTHERS!, of choosing Carolina in the suicide pool….because I totally forgot about other teams. But ANYWAYS…..I went out choosing a team I’m somewhat related to as a South Carolinian….so this is kind of like one of those dumbass sportsnation polls, and Colin Cowherd gets to call me fannish! Oh boy!
September 29th, 2009 at 10:21 am
Cheer up Carolina. The Chin is coming to save you!!!
September 29th, 2009 at 10:40 am
Julius musta got a good look at Suzy right there.
September 29th, 2009 at 10:57 am
After viewing that Julius Peppers pic, I now have “Black Hole Sun” stuck in my head.
September 29th, 2009 at 11:00 am
Julius is just following Jake’s lead on the Pennywise impressions.
September 29th, 2009 at 11:30 am
A coworker and myself had a discussion regarding Suzy’s hotness level during the whole Joe Willie episode. While we agreed that the Matron Saint is cute, we also agreed that if we had ingested 8 gin and tonics ala Joe Willie, she goes from a milfy 8 to a solid 9.5 through the gin-goggles.
September 29th, 2009 at 11:47 am
Suze is definitely looking good in that pic. ESPN needs to show a full body shot with the thick britches next time just so we can get the “full experience” nowhati’msayin?
Jake “Horsefeathers” Delhomme was just channeling his inner Neil O’Donnell last night. Newman played the part of Larry Brown. That and a heavy dose of double teaming on Steve Smith sure helped.
September 29th, 2009 at 11:50 am
I saw the Delhomme arm flail and was hoping that would be giffed up on KSK. Excellent work. He didn’t throw a twirl in there this time but a pretty consistent flail.
September 29th, 2009 at 12:25 pm
All Jerry needs now is the one ring to rule us all. He looks like Gollum in a suit, is what I’m sayin’.

As for Carolina, Tar Heels season isn’t that far in the offing.
Don’t lump my alma mater in with these doucheclowns from Charlotte. UNC basketball mirrors a pro team much more than the motherfucking Pain-thers…although I was happy that Delhomo threw that pick six; it kept Romo (opponent’s QB) off the field and I ended up winning by 0.3.
I think JPep can get transmissions from Jupiter with those Dumbo ears…
September 29th, 2009 at 8:51 pm
@ Dirty: Please don’t lump that Panther football team in with those bunch of assclowns from Chapel Hill. UNC may only be topped in jackasserie by those Durham-based douchebags.
September 30th, 2009 at 3:04 am
Panthers vs. Cowboys.
Suzy’s picture: Panthers vs. Cougars!
