News And Notes From Week 11 in the NFL....
Sunday Night Football: Chargers @ Broncos
You've got LaDainian Tomlinson trying to be the fastest to get to 100 TDs, you've got a struggling Jake Plummer trying to hold onto his starting job, you've got an important game between two AFC teams with legit Super Bowl hopes... but I don't think game previews get any more insightful or poignant ...
NFL Week Eleven, Update #4
• Dallas is taking knees now, and the talk of an Indy undefeated season can now be put to bed. Dallas wins 24-21, and I doubt that the Colts really mind that much. Not that they ever want to lose, but at least they won't have to deal with those questions the rest of the year. Peyton Manning had a pr...
NFL Week Eleven, Update #3
• This is not a score that I saw coming. The 49ers have ripped open a 20-0 lead over the Seahawks, despite the return of Shaun Alexander. Alexander's carried 7 times for 9 yards, and Seneca Wallace has thrown two interceptions. Frank Gore's making a pretty solid case these past two weeks for best ru...
NFL Week Eleven, Update #2
• The game, for some reason, is taking a painfully long time... but with no Donovan McNabb, I'm thinking a comeback is unlikely. Pac-Man Jones had an incredible punt return for a touchdown, showing why he's worth keeping around even if his assault on the Nashville legal system continues. As for McNa...
NFL Week Eleven, Update #1
• Alright, it's time for an NFL update that you'll probably never see because the damn site is broken. I think the actual blogging software is rejecting the notion that Mike Tyson is now fucking for money... the blogging software is sad, and it doesn't feel like working today. I understand....
NFL Week 11 Preview: Emotional Returns
• Seeing Green. Center Casey Weigmann will have a familiar pair of hands nestled against his taint on Sunday as Trent Green returns to the Chiefs lineup. I personally felt like the job should've been Damon Huard's, as he's been playing so well. Now you've got an older quarterback coming off a major ...
Taking Down The Field Goal Posts: Thanks Anyway, Rutgers
Well, that was one of the better Cinderella stories in recent years. Unfortunately, it had to end sooner or later... and perhaps its less painful to be crushed by Cincinnati now than to be denied a shot at a national championship despite an undefeated season. Rutgers lost—nay, got hammered—in Cinc...
Hugh Johnson Update: Bonus Edition
And somewhere, Maurice Clarett asks his cellmate to get off him for a second, so he can check out the final score and smile....
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 4
I swear I just saw Maurice Clarett putting down that new sod as part of a work release program. - VanillaThrilla6...
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 3
Inappropriate conversation of the moment (and words I may be eating later): Friend1: I'm not worried about this Bo thing. Troy Smith does not respect your dead elders! Friend 2: Troy Smith feasts on your tears! - Leebert1981...
Bo's Had Enough Time To Get Settled In By Now, So Let's Do This
That'll just about do it for the masturbation. It's time to get at it. Kickoff's in just a few minutes, and I honestly don't feel overwhelmed by the hype. The game is big enough that a week of ESPN-brand hype wasn't enough to kill it for me—and that doesn't happen often. Give Brent Musberger a few m...
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 2
He doesn't diddle Brady Quinn's sister, but Paul Poslunzy is earning my respect, he is much better than AJ Hawk. For the sake of comparison let's hope that he's all over Chad Henne's sister. - John L. Smith's back-hand slap...
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 1
Corso's Gameday Math: Rutgers loses to the 'Ville by 51 last year + Wins by 3 this year = 48 point turnaround. Oh that Corso sure is a master of mathematics... 51+3=48, Incredible. - Ian, Lexington, KY...
Meow Meow Meow Meow
Every Day Should Be Saturday, whose daily brilliance might be what we'll miss most about college football once it's gone, directs us to this clip from last night's West Virginia-Pittsburgh game, in which quarterback Pat White does his best impersonation of Halle Berry in Catwoman. It's one thing to ...
Schembechler Dead at 77
Some scary news out of Detroit: Former Michigan coach Bo Schembechler is listed in critical condition after collapsing with an undisclosed ailment this morning. Radio stations in the area have reported that Schembechler had just filmed a game promo for a local ABC affiliate when he collapsed....
Valenti's Great Leap Forward
You might remember the great, mad meltdown of Michigan State Spartans broadcaster Mike Valenti after his team lost to Notre Dame earlier this year. Well, The Wizard Of Odds has found a YouTube of Valenti's demented rant set to music and Spartans football "highlights." Not only is it wonderful to rev...
Joe Namath Regrets Nothing!
So Joe Namath, heretofore known as The Guy Who Tries To Ruin A Perfectly Brilliant Moment With Talk Of Drinking "Problems," is out promoting his new book, "Namath," and during his "60 Minutes" interview this Sunday, he discusses the incident that, if nothing else, launched Kissing Suzy Kolber and ...
Just Two More Days Until Mayhem Reigns
Time to wrap up today with a little game you might have heard about. We were scooped dramatically by ESPN on the Dead Schembechlers, but we will still try to keep up....
