Another live blog about a game badly in need of flex scheduling, featuring:
*Will Leitch jokes!
*Gags about emotionally crippled individuals!
*Gags about normally crippled individuals!
*Inappropriate racial and sexual epithets!
*Me being happy that I picked up Tim Hightower in fantasy!
*Horrible memories of my father yelling at Tom Rathman!
*Nostalgia about the epic Shaun Hill years at Maryland!
Holy shit, that game was as crazy as it was horribly officiated. That had the look of the Cowboys-Bills dickpunch last year on Monday night, but the Buzzsaw D came up YUUUGE in overtime. Ken Whisenhunt fucked himself with the clockblock, Romo fumbled a good half dozen times, Fitzy had a small array of clutch catches and Wade burned some precious calories needlessly as time expired. As I said in the comments for the late game, even though Philly pulled out their game against the Niners, the ‘Boys losing to the Cards and the ‘Skins dropping one to the FUCKING RAMS has to take quite a bit of luster off the once-dominant NFC East.
State Farm unveiled a second version of it’s “Feeling Kinda Sunday” ad today (okay, it was new to me) that included this quick cut of a girl with a Buzzsaw bullseye on the small of her back. See, it’s things like these that make Kurt Warner wanna hang it up. I’d say the Cards don’t have much of a prayer (sorry again, Kurt) but after seeing the Rams pick up their first win today, who knows what the late games will bring? Hopefully a watchable game. Denver and Jacksonville likely provides the best chance of that.
Speaking of the back end non sequiturs, the girl from the omnipresent Lowe’s ad does all right for herself.
Update: YYYYEEEEEE HAAAAAAWWWW I AM FUCKING DEJECTED!
As per the usual this time of year, there is something amiss about the unforeseen occupants atop the standings. Certainly some of that is natural turnover from year to year, while others are simply enjoying a fleeting stay before their return to mediocrity. But which is which? We welcome a representative from each of the surprising 2-0 teams to make the case as to why they are here to stay. (more…)
