I've been saying all week this game comes down to one thing, and one thing only really, because I believe the Jets and Steelers defenses and offenses basically wipe each other out. It's all about the goddamn kickers. And I'm telling you, I saw what this stadium did to Doug Brien 7 years ago (and what I almost did to Jerry's laptop on that final miss)...Nick Folk, this is our little corner of the internet putting you on blast. Please do not epically fuck this game up like I've told everyone you would do this week. Please man, make some kicks...
**Fun Update (unless you are Doug Brien):
That bastion of unchallenged internet truths, Wikipedia, informs us that Doug Brien is in fact "most well known" for missing the kicks I reference above. Well Doug, any press is good press, right? Right???
finger update: feeling has returned to my left thumb, but i still can't feel the tip of my left index finger. bizarre.
ReplyDeleteTom Jackson: "No one will affect the Jets' performance more than Dennis Byrd... other than the players on the field."
ReplyDeleteI expect better out of you, [non-Gheorge] TJ.
How are the Jets fans feeling about this game? Seems like a lot of people are picking them.
ReplyDeleteGo Steelers!!!
ReplyDeleterob - one of your nerves has possibly been "moved" or pinched, altering the ability of the brain to send the message to your finger that you actually have a finger.
ReplyDeletei have numbness in my right pinky. right now it's minor, but it gets worse as the year goes on (biking, on a tri-bike). by july - i won't be able to feel it at all. i went to the dr. last year where they identified the exact nerve thru a series of tests - i could have surgery to have it moved and most likely fixed permanently. it doesn't really bother me so i'm bypassing the knife.
i'm not a doctor. but i play one at home.
ReplyDeletethat was easier than a winchester girl
ReplyDeleteyeah. but not quite as easy as that first drive for g.b.
ReplyDeleteyes, danimal-san, that's what i meant
ReplyDeletevery well then.
ReplyDeleteGreat combo by the left guard there, shed onto the LB flawlessly.
ReplyDeletewhere are our roving bloggers the teej and the tee-are?
ReplyDeleteand speaking of missing bloggers -is igor still with us?
I haven't had feeling in the tip of my right index finger since May, due to the herniated disk in my neck and the nerve damage I suffered as a result. I'll probably never get it back. You get used to it.
ReplyDeleteOh, and in case anybody was wondering, my ribs are really fucking sore today. Somebody hit me in the ribs during pickup ball this morning and I thought I was going to cry.
ReplyDeleteI'm at Sports Cave...
ReplyDeleteigor is either in or on his way home from the bahamas
ReplyDeleteI'm on the commode, the only place in my house where I get peace. Meant to do a preview, but had no time. I really like the Jets chances, although a bit less so with the extreme weather. The beaten down Pitt line may be the one big NYJ advantage.
ReplyDeleteThis is the fourth AFC championship game I've watched my team play, and the first one I thought they could legitimately win.
I will go to radio silence at 6:09 for the game. Worked last week. Go Jets!
drove home from princeton this morning, passed a surprising number of jets fans on the way to pittsburgh. make of that what you will.
ReplyDeleteCutler's gotta put something together on this drive - decent field position - or this might get out of hand.
ReplyDeletethe packers are going to regret failing to take advantage of the great field position they've had most of the first half. unless cutler keeps making throws like that.
ReplyDeleteFeels like Rodgers can move the ball whenever he wants to, but yeah, I would have expected more points with the field position advantage.
ReplyDeleteAnd no one takes a shotgun snap as leisurely as Aaron Rodgers.
ReplyDeletenow that was weird
ReplyDeletejust cutler being cutler
ReplyDeleteThis is how GB started the game...
ReplyDeleteBears can forget about it if Todd Collins comes in.
ReplyDeleteTodd Collins = 100% chance Bears lose.
ReplyDeletewhat an unreal throw by rodgers
ReplyDeleteMay seem like chippy pass interference call, but I'll agree with the call.
ReplyDeleteWell then...
ReplyDeletethat's the only thing the pack absolutely couldn't do
ReplyDeleteCollins looks like he's 55.
ReplyDeletecalling bullshit on cutler's injury
ReplyDeleteLovie Smith looks like he's ready to go back to fighting John McClaine on the wing of a 747.
ReplyDeleteJennings is running the same route over and over and he's always open.
ReplyDeletethe packers are trying really hard to keep the bears in this game
ReplyDeletecollins, in his 16th season, is younger than me.
ReplyDeleteCaleb Hanie?
ReplyDeleteyeah, caleb hanie. or hannie. feeling real, real good about my bears bet, not that i was feeling much better earlier.
ReplyDeletecutler's beaver must hurt pretty bad.
ReplyDeletewhat???? someone explain to me the collins can't come back in rule b/c hanie came in w/a minute left in the 3rd?
ReplyDeletefor i am just a caveman
ReplyDeleteif the 3rd qb enters the game before the 4th quarter, neither of the other two can reenter.
ReplyDeleteand the pack windpipes just got a little narrower.
that's a gay rule.
ReplyDeletei need a gimp mask, modified. rather than a cue ball, i need a pacifier. so it will stop falling out. for my 2 month old.
Caleb hanie says suck a dick
ReplyDeleteIf the Bears somehow pull this out, how fast do you think Cutler informs the team that his knee feels better? Does he wait until they get into the locker room or does he just quickly tell everyone on the field?
ReplyDeleteand kiss my hanie
ReplyDeleterob, to return feeling to your finger, stick in the warmest hole in your body.
ReplyDeletewhat happens to the jets game if this goes into OT?
bullet dodged
ReplyDeleteThis is a monstrously impressive drive.
ReplyDeleteMark Sanchez just wiped a booger on Mark Brunell, captured on camera.
ReplyDeleteAnd smiled the whole time.
ReplyDeletei'm several minutes behind and just saw the booger wipe. brunell was very content w/the fact, happy almost. good stuff.
ReplyDeleteso no one made it to the game, as in the 2T's
this is an impressive asswhippery
ReplyDeleteGame. Over.
ReplyDeleteSo two of the last three NFL games of the year suck? Great. What a Sunday.
ReplyDeleteyeah - both pretty disappointing. the payoff tho is the super bowl where we could have a pick'em....aiming to find out of that has ever happened.
ReplyDeleteI'm content with Packers-Steelers, but I want to see what the Jets are made of here.
ReplyDeleteNantz and Simms paid it plenty of lip service, but the fact Ben has stayed in and played pretty competently after that thigh ding shouldn't be undersold. Those things hurt like a bitch.
ReplyDeleteI know they need a field goal at some point (most likely), but a TD means a lot more mentally here than a figgie.
ReplyDeleteThank you ray finkle
ReplyDeleteJets have 5 rushes for 1 yard at half.
ReplyDeletehey now
ReplyDeleteNice ball.
ReplyDeleteThey should run that play more.
ReplyDeleteIt's threatening to get interesting.
ReplyDeleteShut up mayhugh
ReplyDeleteGo cast a ballot, Teej.
ReplyDeleteteej - keep this in your back pocket to view later.

It looks dreadful, like a cheesier Kindergarten Cop.
rut ro, raggy
ReplyDeleteBen never mishandles a clit that way
ReplyDeleteshit.
ReplyDeletethis is a pretty impressive response to asswhippery
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmmm
ReplyDeletepour out a little creatine shake for jack lalanne
ReplyDeleteBut is Elaine LaLane still available?
ReplyDeleteGo green bay
ReplyDeleteIt's tough determining whom I'm going to root for. Wisconsin has cheese, football, and obesity. Pitssburgh has the steel industry, football, and obesity. Wisconsin was the fictional setting of That 70's Show. Pittsburgh was the fictional setting of Mr. Belvedere.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to stew on this for a while.
Sunday hangover? Where's my new reading material for Monday.
ReplyDeletejets fans are really sad today (while bandwagon fans like myself are completely unaffected).
ReplyDeletei think your haircut story is worth a cross-posting.
