Opening Day Deserves A Post: UPDATE

But I'm too lazy to come up with much. My beloved Bills will be atrocious this year, as Jerry noted in his Wheelhouse. This woman may be the only person in America who will be this excited to cheer for the Bills this year.

Update: Glad to see zman throw a post up for kickoff weekend banter. I also had planned to get the world excited for Week 1 of the Inaugural Imaginary League. That's right folks, we haven't even called it fantasy football and you're already bored. But bear with us, briefly, and then jump in the comments to laugh at me for losing by 169 to Zman this week.

In brief, ten of us obviously wanted to waste more time on imaginary football at work, so here's the esteemed lineup of owners (with week 1 matchups):

Leinart Wig Company (TJ)
I couldn't even come up with a funny name. Great start to the season.
homeboys bonanza (zman)
I sense some very tense Monday and Tuesday conversations on "Zman and the Teej" over this league.

Sports! (Dennis)
I hope this is an homage to Huey Lewis.
Mr. Mashed Potatoes (GoldenBoy TNT)
Probably a reference I should get. Or not. Ted likes Philly. Enuff said.

JoeMontanaFishburne (Mark)
A great Week 1 matchup between the two clear winners in "Best Team Name"...
Paging Dr. Faggot (Geoff)
...though this name has to be #1 simply because it made it through the Yahoo filter unscathed.

Bears (Michael Jack Lang)
Worst. Name. Ever.
Shinola (Igor)
WILL HURRICANE IGOR RAVAGE THE LEAGUE WEEK 1!!!!! Jim Cantore will tell us at the half.

The Lumberjacks (Mayhugh)
Hopefully a reference to the classic Monty Python sketch.
The Seaward (WheelhouseJerry)
Not googling this one...don't think it's a Seinfeld reference...it is Jerry, so maybe Arrested Development. Just googled it...I guessed right.

I think we all agreed to chip in 20 bucks for this league. Excitement ensues.

  1. The Redskins got McNabb? Really? I must've totally not been paying attention.

  2. Mayhugh - unless I just missed something, you just commented on your erection. You may be on the wrong blog.

  3. Iron Maiden concert on DirecTV channel 101 right now.

  4. Can I please have the address of the blog where I can read about guys erections? Its for... ... a friend...

  5. Loving the Skins unis. Makes me think of the Super Bowl they lost to the Fins.

    What's up with Miles Austin ignoring Monmouth University? That's my home county. F him and the chlamydia he caught from Kim Kardashian.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Miles Austin has enough gums for a hundred mouths.

    ReplyDelete
  7. first play of the season: missed tackle. osaka!

    ReplyDelete
  8. Not a bad start. Bend but don't break, and all that.

    ReplyDelete
  9. No yards and a cloud of dust. Love it Portis.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Williams looks absolutely enormous in the huddle.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Derrick Dockery struggled saying his name. Nice.

    ReplyDelete
  12. was just thinking the same thing about williams. his ass weighs more than i do.

    ReplyDelete
  13. I like williams getting out on the backer there. I have a new crush.

    ReplyDelete
  14. The comments are getting weird. Erections, mens asses. It must be football season.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Hi there, wheels. Nice to see you.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Or a dinner party at Geoff's...

    ReplyDelete
  17. I remember in his rookie year when Joey Galloway burned Night Train Lane...that was tits.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Williams got worked by Bowen on that second down. Aside from that, he's looking quite solid.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I'd feel a tad better about the defense if Doughty wasn't starting out there.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Miles Austin is Kim Kardashian's new BF, right?

    And Brewster was sitting next to me in Morton's last night eating a t-bone steak.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Haynesworth looks disinterested. He was a full second late on the snap there.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Deangelo Hall, professional asshole.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Speaking of things being the tits, my new cable box rocks. I'm really glad I spent 4 hours with my head up my ass to get it. Three minutes till the True Blood season finale.

    ReplyDelete
  24. In other news, Dez Bryant's knees weren't down yet (ngs) so I don't think Fletcher's hit was unsportsmanlike.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Dockery is listed at 6'6", 325, Williams, at 6'5, 318. You tell me who is bigger when they line up next to each other.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Skins gonna get flagged on 3rd down snap?

    ReplyDelete
  27. Ballsy declining that. Stupid and ballsy.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Anyone? Buehller? (Was I first?)

    ReplyDelete
  29. Don't bother Zman with the complexities of fantasy football. He's watching True Blood.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Albert Haynesworth needs to stop being a fucking pussy.

    ReplyDelete
  31. There seems to be an over-abundance of goodwill between these teams. Lots of helping opponents up, tapping helmets, etc.

    ReplyDelete
  32. shanahan's gonna grind haynesworth into a fine powder

    ReplyDelete
  33. I think it will be pretty chunky powder, actually.

    ReplyDelete
  34. I may change my team name to The Bon Temps Fangbangers.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I lobbied Congressman Tiberi into a fine powder a couple weeks back.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I miss the faux Drew Bledsoe-written blog "TonyHomo.com"

    ReplyDelete
  37. At this point just tell me if the movie isn't available in 3D.

    ReplyDelete
  38. I'm not used to getting a flag thrown on a big skins play and having it be against the other team...

    ReplyDelete
  39. Anyone else notice Dockery and Jamaal Brown have taken series off and then returned. Injuries? Resting?

    ReplyDelete
  40. I noticed Heyer in there, and thought that might be bad.

    Donny M looks really fast out there.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Albert looks...disinterested.

    ReplyDelete
  42. They need to flag the center for hands to the face eventually.

    ReplyDelete
  43. I think they'll throw out the sweep again on third here.

    ReplyDelete
  44. If Dallas commits to the run, they'll score every possession. History says they won't do that.

    ReplyDelete
  45. If Jones and Snyber eat papa johns, I'm finding being a billionaire much less appealing.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Wow, not used to that call inside the 5 with 2 mins to go, either.

    ReplyDelete
  47. The Redskins have all their time outs...refreshing.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Excellent point, Geoff. Encourages gutsy calls like that.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

    ReplyDelete
  50. that shit's been happening *to* the skins for years

    ReplyDelete
  51. Great example of the point Jerry usually makes about end of half - why run any play if you're going to run that. The risk outweighs the reward by a hefty amount.

    ReplyDelete
  52. and when people start behaving like jerry, we'll know that skynet's taken over

    ReplyDelete
  53. You run it b/c you're an arrogant, overhyped team of assholes.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Bill Dwyer has never been nor will ever be funny.

    ReplyDelete
  55. David Caruso: Looks like Tashard (puts on sunglasses) made the wrong Choice.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Maybe we're all just Disciples o' Jerry, but there was not one GTBer who didn't think that any decision other than taking a knee would be retarded. And as Jon Lovitz said, we're reaping all the benefit. On the plus side, I had three people tell me they'd never seen me move that fast/jump that high when it happened. Not that there were any Carl Lewis comparisons.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Running game is still poop. i'd like to see someone aside from Portis back there.

    ReplyDelete
  58. timeout 49 seconds in? just want us to remember zorn.

    ReplyDelete
  59. The Cowboys look really unprepared and poorly coached. i know, it's a big surprise from a Wade-coached team.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Fred Davis blocking on that play looked like my wife nancing thru Neiman's looking for a new sweater.

    I really jinxed them on the time outs.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Holy shit--things going the Skins way. Almost justifies the 2nd timeout.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Cowboys will not be one-upped on incompetence.

    ReplyDelete
  63. This 5th preseason game is going poorly for the Cowboys.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Portis's YPC has to be around 1.9.

    ReplyDelete
  65. I'm really enjoying getting bailed out repeatedly.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Wade Phillips: "Awww, horsefeathers. Geez, guys!"

    ReplyDelete
  67. I'll be convinced things are starting to turn around if they score a TD here. This is a situation they'd screw it up in the past.

    ReplyDelete
  68. When you can't run the ball, red zone offense gets tougher.

    ReplyDelete
  69. New coach, new QB, new pants...same asshats.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Wherever Slater is, that shot of the Portis ass massage made him uncomfortable.

    ReplyDelete
  71. Thank God Roy Williams in playing for the Cowboys.

    ReplyDelete
  72. Good job by the corner taking out 2 blockers on that sweep.

    ReplyDelete
  73. Maybe the best play Landry's made in 2 years.

    ReplyDelete
  74. Certainly the first time his tackle was louder than his taunt.

    ReplyDelete
  75. I think I'm done with Mike Sellers...can't block, can't catch, bitches a lot.

    ReplyDelete
  76. It's really frustrating how poorly the Skins play when leading.

    ReplyDelete
  77. Every time Kyle Shanahan ever got laid, he wondered if it was because of his dad.

    Every time Wes Phillips ever got laid, he knew it was in spite of his dad.

    ReplyDelete
  78. Well, they didn't move the ball a yard but at least the punt was awful.

    ReplyDelete
  79. that 'when leading' part really wasn't necessary

    ReplyDelete
  80. This game has 21-10 written all over it.

    ReplyDelete
  81. Just a reminder--the Redskins offense hasn't done shit all night.

    ReplyDelete
  82. Thanks, Geoff. I was too busy watching Haynesworth getting bitchhandled to notice.

    ReplyDelete
  83. Answer with a TD here...or probably lose.

    ReplyDelete
  84. Reed Doughty's play ensures Sean Taylor will never be forgotten.

    ReplyDelete
  85. imaginary football dagger for gore's reluctant masseuses, my squad in a non-gtb league

    ReplyDelete
  86. They could have picked a hotter dude to play Gekko's daughter. Just sayin...

    ReplyDelete
  87. Romo just screwed over Team Gheorghe in my non-Imaginary league.

    ReplyDelete
  88. portis' running style is best described as 'burrowing'

    ReplyDelete
  89. As are many of McNabb's passes.

    ReplyDelete
  90. Every time they throw to Armstrong, something shitty happens. Might be numbering yourself 13, dickhead.

    ReplyDelete
  91. Geoff, I wish I could disagree. Fuck. F u c k.

    ReplyDelete
  92. They say that repeating the same behaviors and expecting a different outcome is the definition of insanity. So by rooting for this team to win this game, are we all lunatics?

    ReplyDelete
  93. It is shocking that they turned over the roster, coaching staff and front office and still produced the same on field product.

    ReplyDelete
  94. Well, one thing has remained constant: the dwarf in big boy clothes who sits in the owner's box. Jinxy LeSnyder.

    ReplyDelete
  95. Tony Romo, please turn the ball over. Please.

    ReplyDelete
  96. McNabb has looked pretty shitty tonight. Doesn't bode well.

    ReplyDelete
  97. Keith Brooking has good mic skills. Sign him up WWE.

    ReplyDelete
  98. Igor's prediction of 21-10 is way too merciful and conclusive. It's going to be 14-13, close enough for most of Skins fans to optimistically say they've turned a corner, but a huge dagger of a close loss.

    ReplyDelete
  99. As has been noted ad nauseum, the Skins ground game is poop.

    ReplyDelete
  100. Great blitz pickup by Portis, but Moss shat himself on the catch.

    ReplyDelete
  101. Michaels and Collinsworth have really missed the mark not mentioning that the Redskins starting LG and RT have missed most of the game.

    ReplyDelete
  102. Santana Moss-- you'll catch that once you get a few years under your belt in this league.

    ReplyDelete
  103. This punter is not very good at his job.

    ReplyDelete
  104. What possible reason could Romo have for throwing to Roy Williams repeatedly?

    ReplyDelete
  105. To screw one of my fantasy teams? Romo hates me.

    ReplyDelete
  106. Mayhugh, 14-13 would be fitting revenge for the boys from a few years ago and too painful to endure. God doesn't love me but he ain't that cruel.

    ReplyDelete
  107. The Cowboys' 3rd and short playcalling is a shade on the predictable side.

    ReplyDelete
  108. Speaking of which, Draper got his mojo back tonight immediately after getting a hummer in the back of a taxi. Remember that if you ever lose your mojo.

    ReplyDelete
  109. That first down felt like a birthing.

    ReplyDelete
  110. Larry Johnson...slow...but shitty.

    ReplyDelete
  111. If there is a Satan, please let Ware be seriously hurt.

    ReplyDelete
  112. Jay Ratliff's beard reminds me of a warm safe place...

    ReplyDelete
  113. Demarcus Ware is being checked for a spinal injury. So Jerry Jones takes the moment to hit the pisser. Stay classy, Jerry.

    ReplyDelete
  114. There is a Satan. His name is Seacrest.

    ReplyDelete
  115. I have no clue who this guy is playing RT for the Skins is.

    ReplyDelete
  116. Wow. Portis. Where did that come from?

    ReplyDelete
  117. Wade is an impressively bad coach. I agree with Al - gotta take a time out on the front end of the 2 min warning.

    ReplyDelete
  118. if the Skins run the clock out, I will be mighty impressed.

    ReplyDelete
  119. Just poured a celebratory glass of scotch. Haven't drank any yet.

    ReplyDelete
  120. Oh Trent. I've been gushing over you all night, and then you go and do something like that.

    ReplyDelete
  121. Geoff, pour it back in the bottle, please.

    ReplyDelete
  122. Did I see that right? Are Jones and Snyder in the same box?

    ReplyDelete
  123. Please Tony Romo, help out rob and Geoff and Mayhugh and Igor...and me...and throw a god damn pick.

    ReplyDelete
  124. I just poured a new vodka drink. Have not deemed it celebratory or misery-quenching. It will get consumed either way.

    ReplyDelete
  125. For the record, I hate the corner blitz, but I hate it more in this situation.

    ReplyDelete
  126. The very late deep corner blitz where there's not enough time for the guy to even get to the QB... Yes.

    ReplyDelete
  127. Stay up late because you talk yourself into a Skins win, only to have it snagged late, so you go wake up miserable and tired. No, this feels about right...

    ReplyDelete
  128. Satan, old friend. Call me on my cell. Let's talk.

    ReplyDelete
  129. Goddammit. Hall costs us even through injury.

    ReplyDelete
  130. If only Carlos Rogers had 10 fingers like everyone else...

    ReplyDelete
  131. A sack ends the game, effectively.

    ReplyDelete
  132. If only laRon Landry had 10 fingers like everyone else...

    ReplyDelete
  133. Romo WANTS to give this away...

    ReplyDelete
  134. Does God hate me enough to let them score on the last play?

    ReplyDelete
  135. I'm not even a Skins fan and this is excruciating.

    ReplyDelete
  136. My pimary care physician says this is very, very bad for me.

    ReplyDelete
  137. there's no reason they should complete a pass in the end zone here.

    ReplyDelete
  138. Weirdest ending to a game ever?

    ReplyDelete
  139. Thank goodness. Game over. I need an IV.

    ReplyDelete
  140. Never seen any shit like that. But I am chugging this drink gleefully.

    ReplyDelete
