Chargers vs. Titans, Second Half and Goodnight


It's been a while since I last checked in, but it's still the same football game. We're well into the third quarter of the final game of Wild Card Weekend '08 Bukkake and this game is dragging along with a score of 6-3. Tennessee is winning, Floats (pictured) i really crappy, and LaDainian is still lacking swag. If anything actually happens I'll be happy to provide updates after the jump (if not, it's been an interesting weekend and I thank you for reading)... More »

Chargers vs. Titans, This Time It's For Real

You thought Philip Rivers was needlessly cocky before? Well it's playoff time baby, time to step up the douche! The real key is to see just how close Norv Turner can keep this thing. Nobody holds back a dynamic team in the playoffs like Norv Turner! Enjoy, and stay tuned after the jump... More »

Bucs vs. Giants, The Second Half!


It was either this, or a picture of four Tampa cheerleaders. I like to think I made the right decision (thanks to Getty Images for the choice though). Since we last saw each other at halftime things have taken an interesting turn. The Bucs botched the opening kickoff giving the Giants an incredible opportunity to capitalize, but like the Redskins things got dicey in the red zone. Eli picked up a crucial delay penalty and the third down play was thrown underneath and it never had a chance. The Giants settled for a field goal and we've arrived at the score of 17-7. The Giants had a chance to move the ball at the end of the first half and the blew a chance at a touchdown that could bury the opponent. Let's see what happens next, after the jump... More »

Bucs vs. Giants! Yar, They Blow!

It's that time again, and I'm positively pumped for this one! New York and Tampa are taking the field and the air is alive with excitement! Who am I kidding? I'm watching Pitt play Nova while taping the Wizards and the Sonics. Don't worry though, I've brought in a reinforcement television and I'll be keeping you up to date on all the action in case you're stuck at work, church, or some other unenviable commitment. Or perhaps you just love the companionship offered by a computer. You should stick around regardless, because I'll be providing occasional updates and commentary. Also, punch and pie... More »

Keeping Up With Wild Card Weekend

If you happen to find yourself in contact with a fan of the Steelers or the Redskins you should probably just give them their space. It wasn't a good night, and judging from the stuff I've already heard on ESPN, it's not going to be a good morning or afternoon. The Steelers stormed back from an 18 point deficit only to see David Garrard set up Josh Scobee for what would be the game winning field goal. The Steelers had another chance but Big Ben lost the football on a sack and that was that, and that blows if you're a yinzer.

Seattle vs. Washington: Second Half

I hope you enjoyed that first half, because I sure as shit didn't. The Redskins punted the ball at a breakneck pace and once Seattle got on the board their offense began to slow down. Then at the very end of the half master timekeeper Mike Holmgren decided he didn't want to leave any of his timeouts unused. But finally we're back and we're ready to go for the second half. The Redskins need to run the damn ball and get on the board, from there the game should open up a bit. However, their first task will be stopping the Seahawks on their opening drive. Join along with the fun after the jump for updates... More »

Seattle vs. Washington: First Half

It's just about that time and my fingers are shaking from the anticipation... and the delirium tremens. The Seahawks and their alleged 12th Man have opened up Qwest field to the visiting Redskins and the kickoff of the 2008 NFLplayoffs are just moments away. I won't actually "live blog" the action but I will provide updates, highlights, and reactions in this space throughout the first half of action. If I haven't become a physical threat to myself by that point I plan to start all over for the second half. Assuming all goes well I'll even be around for the late games. So get comfortable and join me for the fun, after the jump... More »

Jenny Hendrix Loves Jags, Anal

The Jacksonville Jaguars have stormed into the playoffs with a bandwagon that has quickly filled near capacity. Well now they've got something even better going for them. When the Jags take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in the second game of today's wild card double header they'll have a porn star in their corner. Thanks to the indispensable Lion In Oil for relaying this story (via Walk Off Balk) about Jenny Hendrix, internet radio, and Jack Del Rio's hotel room habits... More »
