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.

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

TR said...

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

T.J. said...

Iron Maiden concert on DirecTV channel 101 right now.

Geoff said...

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

T.J. said...

No Romo. No.

TR said...

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.

Geoff said...

Miles Austin has enough gums for a hundred mouths.

rob said...

first play of the season: missed tackle. osaka!

mayhugh said...

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

Geoff said...

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

mayhugh said...

Williams looks absolutely enormous in the huddle.

mayhugh said...

Derrick Dockery struggled saying his name. Nice.

rob said...

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

mayhugh said...

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

Mark said...

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

T.J. said...

McWheels!!!

mayhugh said...

Hi there, wheels. Nice to see you.

Geoff said...

Mildly aroused.

Mark said...

Or a dinner party at Geoff's...

mayhugh said...

Dammit, TJ.

T.J. said...

Hi Mayhugh!

mayhugh said...

6 to midnight.

Geoff said...

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

rob said...

williams! road grader.

mayhugh said...

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

rob said...

gano, add it up

mayhugh said...

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

Shlara said...

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.

mayhugh said...

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

mayhugh said...

Poop call.

Geoff said...

Deangelo Hall, professional asshole.

rob said...

this is football, right?

zman said...

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.

zman said...

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

mayhugh said...

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.

mayhugh said...

watch fake pass draw

T.J. said...

Skins gonna get flagged on 3rd down snap?

Geoff said...

Ballsy declining that. Stupid and ballsy.

T.J. said...

Frye? Frye?

mayhugh said...

nice.

Geoff said...

Anyone? Buehller? (Was I first?)

T.J. said...

That guy is zman's kicker.

mayhugh said...

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

T.J. said...

Albert Haynesworth needs to stop being a fucking pussy.

mayhugh said...

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

rob said...

shanahan's gonna grind haynesworth into a fine powder

mayhugh said...

I think it will be pretty chunky powder, actually.

zman said...

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

Geoff said...

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

Mark said...

Mmmm, fine powder.

T.J. said...

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

mayhugh said...

Orakpo has been quiet.

Geoff said...

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

mayhugh said...

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

Geoff said...

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

mayhugh said...

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

Donny M looks really fast out there.

T.J. said...

Al Michaels doing schtick.

T.J. said...

Albert looks...disinterested.

mayhugh said...

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

mayhugh said...

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

Geoff said...

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

mayhugh said...

Fast half.

Geoff said...

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

mayhugh said...

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

Geoff said...

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

mayhugh said...

Excellent point, Geoff. Encourages gutsy calls like that.

mayhugh said...

Skins getting A LOT of calls.

mayhugh said...

WOOOOOAAAAH

Geoff said...

Holy fuck!

rob said...

ohhhhhhhhh!!!!

TNT said...

Hahaha. F the Cowboys!

T.J. said...

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

rob said...

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

mayhugh said...

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.

rob said...

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

TNT said...

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

T.J. said...

This halftime show sucks.

T.J. said...

Bill Dwyer has never been nor will ever be funny.

Geoff said...

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

Clarence said...

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.

mayhugh said...

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

rob said...

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

Geoff said...

Jinxed them on the time outs.

mayhugh said...

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

T.J. said...

Zorn-saka!

Geoff said...

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.

Geoff said...

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

mayhugh said...

Cowboys will not be one-upped on incompetence.

T.J. said...

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

mayhugh said...

Portis's YPC has to be around 1.9.

mayhugh said...

I'm really enjoying getting bailed out repeatedly.

Geoff said...

What I said before.

Geoff said...

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

mayhugh said...

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.

Geoff said...

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

Geoff said...

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

Geoff said...

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

mayhugh said...

Thank God Roy Williams in playing for the Cowboys.

mayhugh said...

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

mayhugh said...

Big fill by Landry there.

Geoff said...

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

Geoff said...

Nepotism. White hot.

Clarence said...

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

Geoff said...

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

mayhugh said...

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

Geoff said...

Is Durant Brooks available?

Clarence said...

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.

mayhugh said...

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

rob said...

that 'when leading' part really wasn't necessary

Clarence said...

This game has 21-10 written all over it.

Geoff said...

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

Clarence said...

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

Geoff said...

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

Clarence said...

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

rob said...

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

Geoff said...

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

T.J. said...

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

rob said...

portis' running style is best described as 'burrowing'

T.J. said...

As are many of McNabb's passes.

Clarence said...

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

Geoff said...

This will not end well.

Geoff said...

Laron Landry sucks.

Clarence said...

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

Clarence said...

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?

Geoff said...

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

Clarence said...

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

T.J. said...

Tony Romo, please turn the ball over. Please.

Greg said...

Philly Philly buch buch

Geoff said...

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

T.J. said...

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

mayhugh said...

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.

T.J. said...

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

mayhugh said...

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

Geoff said...

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

mayhugh said...

Good grief.

zman said...

Catching is over-rated.

Clarence said...

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

mayhugh said...

This punter is not very good at his job.

T.J. said...

Throw a pick pansy.

mayhugh said...

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

zman said...

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

Geoff said...

Flirtation?

Clarence said...

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.

mayhugh said...

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

zman said...

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.

mayhugh said...

Move the ball, dickheads.

mayhugh said...

That first down felt like a birthing.

Geoff said...

Larry Johnson...slow...but shitty.

Clarence said...

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

Geoff said...

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

Clarence said...

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

Geoff said...

There is a Satan. His name is Seacrest.

Geoff said...

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

Clarence said...

Uncooley

mayhugh said...

Wow. Portis. Where did that come from?

Clarence said...

Horrible call. Fuck you, ref.

mayhugh said...

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

T.J. said...

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

Geoff said...

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

mayhugh said...

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

mayhugh said...

Geoff, pour it back in the bottle, please.

mayhugh said...

Onions, Gano. Onions.

T.J. said...

Wow. Nice kick kid.

Geoff said...

You Gano it.

Geoff said...

14-13...14-13...14-13...

mayhugh said...

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

T.J. said...

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

Clarence said...

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

Clarence said...

I

Hate

This

mayhugh said...

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

Geoff said...

Ugh...this feels wrong.

mayhugh said...

SO MUCH TIME LEFT.

Clarence said...

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

mayhugh said...

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...

Clarence said...

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

mayhugh said...

Goddammit. Hall costs us even through injury.

mayhugh said...

EFFING STONE HANDS ROGERS

Geoff said...

Remember that drop.

Clarence said...

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

Geoff said...

Remember that drop as well.

mayhugh said...

A sack ends the game, effectively.

Clarence said...

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

T.J. said...

Romo WANTS to give this away...

mayhugh said...

this is agonizing.

mayhugh said...

Ohmygodohmygodohmygod

T.J. said...

WTF!! Cover their #1 guy.

Geoff said...

Fuck x1000

mayhugh said...

2 more plays...

mayhugh said...

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

mayhugh said...

I can't watch.

T.J. said...

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

Clarence said...

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

mayhugh said...

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

mayhugh said...

MOTHEREFFER

T.J. said...

Um...

mayhugh said...

WOW, WHAT A TURN OF EVENTS.

Geoff said...

Weirdest ending to a game ever?

mayhugh said...

Thank goodness. Game over. I need an IV.

mayhugh said...

I might take a shot instead.

Clarence said...

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