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...

I've never heard of a suicide league but it sounds intriguing.

We had one elsewhere a few years ago. I won in week 6.

Dear Detroit Special Teams,

Eat a dick. Stop giving up 70 yd+ runs that end in TDs you assholes!


*sigh* At least Houston is doing well. They're my 2 Team.

I've been playing fantasy football since the late 90s, but have never played for money. This year, some people I work with talked me into playing for money this year. Right out the gate, my team started off 0-3. I vowed that if my team didn't win this week, I was going to change my team name and logo. It is currently the Sand Squatches. Based on the alleged sighting of a bigfoot in the Nevada Desert. The logo is just a Sasquatch. Luckily for my team, they won this week. Otherwise the name would have changed to Classic Underachievers. The avatar would have been changed tp the worst think I could think of that could be shown at work....Scooter from the Go-Bots.

Dear NFL Refs,

Take a Gigantic Bag of Dicks.
Dip them in syrup(or honey, or jelly. Whatever. As long as its sticky.)
Roll the now sticky dicks in ground glass.

Now EAT THE ENTIRE BAG OF DICKS. :x

*sigh*

Even as the season progresses and your team is underperforming, you keep running scenarios in your head like "IF we win every single game left in the season and IF the other three teams in the division lose every single game left in the season, and IF key teams in the other divisions lose key games, then MAYBE you can squeeze into that last WildCard slot..."

Then the fucking Colts score with zero seconds left and you realize it's all over until next year. :(

And the part that stings is that just about every game was winnable. It's not like we're the fucking Kansas City Chiefs and suck from day one and the Playoffs were never a consideration.
We got THE best WR in the entire goddamn NFL. The QBs stats are good enough to be top five behind guys like Brady, Brees, and Rogers.
But every week it's a blown call here, a stupid penalty there.

Frustrated.

Mathematically, the Bills haven't been eliminated yet. They can technically make the playoffs with a combination of winning their remaining games and other teams losing. I'm not holding my breath. I expect them to get close, then Ryan Fitzpatrick will get picked off in the endzone in the would-be clinching game.

OH C'MON!!!

You can't even beat the GODDAMN CARDINALS?!? Aside from the Chiefs, they're the shittiest team in the NFL.

I can only assume you're deliberately pooching the rest of the season to get a better Draft placement. That's the only explanation.

In one of my fantasy football leagues, I picked up Detroit's Defense thinking it would be some easy points against a team with such an inept offence. I was wrong. Lucky for me, he started the Rams' defense, who did even worse. This is the first time I've put money into fantasy football. The league is a bunch of people I work with. It is the 1st round of the playoffs and I'm playing the #1 team. I'm up by 24 points, but he still has Colin Kaepernick from the 49ers to play.

What I'm really saying is that the Lions' D can go blow themselves. The same goes for any "expert" that thought the Lions were going to be good.

And yes, the Bills still suck. Usually by this time I can give up on them and focus on hockey.

I'm hoping Russell Wilson and the Seahawks knock Kaepernick's Niners out next week. It'd serve Harbaugh right for benching Alex Smith.

By the way how hilarious is it that Luck, RG3, and Wilson are all rookie QBs this season. Luck and RG3 both got $20M+ contracts and Wilson only got a $2M contract and he's doing better than both of them. Poor bastard got shafted. Hell, RG isn't even playing. His backup, Cousins, is doing all the work getting them to the Playoffs.

Crap. Beginning of the 4th quarter and he only needs 3.5 more points to win. It is going to be close. I'm almost expecting to lose now, but it looks like New Englands' defense finally decided to start playing

Some guy on the radio was wondering if Cousins performance today would hurt RG3's chance at getting the Rookie of the Year award.

The Bills' GM makes a weekly appearance on a radio show in Buffalo. A month or so back, he said he intended on drafting the QB of the future. Then a couple weeks ago, he said he may or may not draft a QB high in the upcoming draft. Earlier this week, he said he might trade up in the draft to get a QB. What he probably should do is take the best QB, linebacker, or offensive lineman that's there. Preferably a linebacker since the Bills defense still stinks. Then get a QB in the 2nd round so there is slightly less pressure for them to start him.
