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...

The Raiders got a safety on the Dolphins this past Sunday. It was the first time in NFL history that there was a safety on a completed pass that wasn't a fumble. The Dolphins tried a screen pass from their 1 yard line. The guy caught it while he was in the endzone and was tackled immediately. I'd say that has to be worse than losing on a record breaking field goal.

Not so sure about that. The safety happened fairly early in the game and they had plenty of opportunities to win or lose after that.

Different than being in a position to win with less than a minute to go and the other team being 4th and 39 or whatever, and then a couple plays later a freak physics accident that will never happen again snatches victory away. Bleh

Turned on the news this morning and they were covering a fatal car accident. It was a few blocks south of my new office. Didn't think much of it since it wasn't going to effect my drive in. Turns out that was the accident caused by Ruggs from the Raiders. That area is mostly businesses, strip malls, and shopping centers, so it seems like a strange place to be at 3:30 AM.

Doing over 150mph 2 seconds before the crash & blood alcohol more than double the legal limit. Go to jail. Go directly to jail. Do not collect $200.

At least Kirk Cousins and Cole Beasley were honest about their point of view. Rodgers just straight up lied about it.

It has been a year since their last win, so they probably forgot what it was like to win, too.

Watching the fans and players celebrating, they were acting like they won the Super Bowl.

CFL action - my (current) home town Saskatchewan Roughriders lost in the Western final to bitter rivals the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

In the east, my (former) home town Hamilton Tiger Cats blew away bitter rivals the Toronto Argonauts to advance to the 108th Grey Cup... which will be played in Hamilton.

Back to your regularly scheduled American Football action & discussion.

Fun trivia fact. The Eagles beat the Jets today; their all time head-to-head record 12-0. They first played each other in 1973 and NYJ has lost every game.

Haha. Ouch.
