Jets-Fins starts at 1 PM. Up here in the Northeast, that will be followed by a compelling Cowboys-Browns match-up at 4:15. There is also some women's tennis and a Mets-Phillies day/night doubleheader that will bridge the gap into the 8 PM game tonight.
A quick trip to the supermarket this morning has filled my fridge with hummus, cheese, crackers, pork products and chips. My son is about to take a nap, and my wife is at the mall. It's down to me, 75 ozs. of Belgian beer, a 42" HD TV and some NFL action.
Enjoy the games today gents. My sobriety is waning, but my excitement is cresting.
One last note: Let's pay tribute to Chad Pennington, who gave 110% for the Jets for the better part of this decade. Let's hope he does a little bit more to help them win today.
Brett Favre!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDelete7-0 bitches...
footbawwwww!!!
ReplyDeleteThat pass wasn't exactly "on the money". I'm just sayin'...
ReplyDeleteSo, the Rams, 20 minutes into the 2008 season, look just as awful as last year.
ReplyDeleteWas it Favre looking great on an audible or the Fins secondary being so horrendous? Either way, I'll take it.
ReplyDeleteWill Allen should not be starting in the NFL.
You settle down Mayhugh...
ReplyDeletePennington: 1 for 6, -1 yard. Ouch.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't look like the Dolphins have made much improvement, either.
ReplyDeleteUm, what the hell is going on down in Atlanta? 14-0 Matt Ryans already?
ReplyDeleteHey, did you guys know Brett Favre and Bubba Franks used to be teammates in Green Bay?
ReplyDeleteBrady hurt!
ReplyDeleteWide Right Fever...Detroit City Shanker...
ReplyDeleteSettle down Jim Nantz...Bubba Franks can't be on both teams.
ReplyDeleteGod damn you Chad Pennington.
ReplyDeleteMatt Cassel having a good drive.
ReplyDeleteJesus christ...the kicker is hurt already...ugh.
ReplyDeleteNote to NFL coaches: enough already with the pleated pants.
ReplyDeleteThe Rams are sucktacular. Al Saunders is working his magic once again, I see.
Thank you to the Dolphins for whatever sort of defense that was.
ReplyDeleteLet Favre kick the PATs.
OK, this Jets kicking game is a bloody mess.
ReplyDeleteJim Nantz should be drawn and quartered for even trying to compare that Jets TD to the Tyree play.
ReplyDeleteOn the game in Philly, Kenny Albert just said "if anyone could come in and kick an extra point, its Brett Favre." Fuck you buddy. Fuck you...
ReplyDeleteThat is gold.
ReplyDeleteHOLY SHIT. Sheldon Brown just almost killed Jackson.
ReplyDeleteMore mobile: Chad Pennington or a TV tray?
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with single pleats there, Geoff.
ReplyDeleteDouble pleats, on the other hand, are reprehensible...
Moose just said "Damn they look sloppy" about the Rams. Yes..."damn"...
ReplyDeleteRhymo...we're just not doin the pleats any more with the khakis. Maybe with a suit...or if you are over 60...but that's it.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, what beats wasabi peas?
ReplyDelete21-0 Eagles. The Rams DBs are putting on quite a show.
ReplyDeleteBigger joke today - Rams DBs or Jets "kicking" game?
ReplyDeleteNote to Dan Marino: technically, every Pennington pass is a "touch" pass.
ReplyDeleteDick Enberg just said "Men's Semi". I'm giggling.
ReplyDeleteI'm getting the Eagles game on the Fox feed. I have no idea why they haven't switched to the Falcons game.
ReplyDeleteWhy go to a 31-21 game when you have a 31-0 game?
38-zip. Fox sticking to their guns.
ReplyDeleteWell, those Bengals really impressed in Week 1.
ReplyDeleteI can't be the only one thinking vintage Favre pick six here, right?
ReplyDeleteIf Favre throws an int for a td here, I'm opening the bottle of champagne that's been in my fridge for the last 8 months. Book it.
ReplyDeleteWell now. This is kind of interesting. Go Fins.
ReplyDeleteTomorrow, Skip Bayless is going to tell us there's a QB controversy in NE.
ReplyDelete"Nugent Ruins Favre Debut"
ReplyDeleteFucking Chad Pennington...
ReplyDeleteRookie CB has played over his head the whole day for the Jets. I think they go back at him these next 2 plays.
ReplyDeletePennington throwing some very questionable balls here...
ReplyDeleteWhile we have a moment, do we need to discuss FOX's new show Hole in the Wall? Its reminiscent of Touch the Stove...
ReplyDeleteWow, hell of a play by 24 there, while getting raped.
ReplyDeleteAttaboy...
ReplyDeleteSwitch to Fox...final play of TB-NO
ReplyDeleteYep...and its a Garcia pick.
ReplyDeleteso it's the first day of football season, and geoff's on again about fashion. i don't need to spell it out for you guys, do i?
ReplyDeletenot that there's anything wrong with that.
Rob...bi-curious and gay are very different things...
ReplyDeleteNot surprisingly, Dallas looks silly good.
ReplyDeletefair point.
ReplyDeletei have t.o. on my fantasy team this year. i feel so dirty.
The Browns might want to pressure Romo at least once this game.
ReplyDeleteIn one league I have Marion Barber and Romo...TO in another. I have no shame.
ReplyDeleteRob, in an interesting twist, he has you on his fantasy blogger team and feels the same way.
ReplyDeletethat was a shitty draft pick.
ReplyDeletemike martz' offense getting it done in san fran.
ReplyDeletebraylon edwards, that was poop.
ReplyDeleteBraylon, buddy, you have to catch that.
ReplyDeleteHow the hell did Seattle lose to Buffalo by 24? I thought they might lose that one...but I was confident they'd be competitive.
ReplyDeletecheaters never win, adam jones.
ReplyDeletethat cleveland drive was better than any we'll see out of the skins this year.
ReplyDelete(weeps silently)
Next week's Saints game will be a very good indicator of just how crappy the Skins are.
ReplyDeleteI have to admit I'm still enjoying the Mac/PC commercials.
ReplyDeleteAnd I want to hate the Mac guy that dated Drew Barrymore, but I know that the press he got from dating her is landing him all kinds of B-list action these days.
For the record, when you crack your 3rd Chimay, it kinda goes down smoothly. And quickly.
i still like that kid because he was in ed.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize there was a new post up so I'm repeating myself, but who cares...I just got home from Gainesville. Sweet Jeebus I love that town. It was electric there yesterday, justn overflowing with Gator and Hurricane fans. I also happened to stumble upon one of the greatest tailgate parties I've ever been a part of thanks to a buddy of mine. On top of all that, there's not anything much more exciting than an 8 pm game in The Swamp. Good times, though I did do a lot of cursing whilst watching the Gator offense stumble around for nearly 3 quarters.
ReplyDeleteI'm already counting down the days until I return to Gainesville for the LSU game on 10/10.
we're gonna need a few more details on the tailgate.
ReplyDeleteohhh, the fantasy fuck - and not the good kind. t.o. was in, dammit.
ReplyDeleteI'll provide a few details on the tailgate a bit later. First, I'm off to play a little basketball at the park so I can sweat the out the copious amounts of toxins coursing threw my veins right now.
ReplyDeletei had to check a kid this morning that was 6'3" and had the energy of a 15 year-old. because, well, he was 15 years old. luckily for me, he was also lazy as all get out, so i scored almost as much on him as he did on me.
ReplyDeletefor the record, i'm almost too old for full court runs. almost.
ReplyDeleteThe Jerry Seinfeld/Bill Gates commercial is refreshingly odd and hilarious.
ReplyDeleteJamal Lewis hasnt had that many guys on top of him since Shawshank.
ReplyDeleteIs that David Silver in the Terminator show?
ReplyDeleteRomeo Crennell...not a math major.
ReplyDeleteHave so many fantasy teams ever been so royally fucked so early in the season as they are today?
ReplyDeleteI say no.
Tracking the prognostications for this week's games, Team G:TB is currently 3-1, while Team Wheel is 2-2.
ReplyDeleteBoth teams are awaiting the results of tomorrow's two games, but it's safe to say that the Wheelhouse kisses penis.
Rhyme-O...that got me.
ReplyDeleteIts funny because its true.
I decided that continuing to drink in the parkinlot was preferable to fighting through the crowds to see the kickoff at Gillette yesterday. By the time got inside, bought two beers, and climbed to my seats in the 5th to last row of the stadium, Tom Brady was already out of the game. The mood was palpably different than that of last year's 8 regular season games. The fans were so demoralized that they barely heckled the 69-year-old Chiefs fans two rows ahead of me.
ReplyDeleteNot good times in Foxboro. Also not good times when you shelled out close to $2k to watch the best offense in the league and instead get to watch Matt Cassel and whatever dregs they bring in (Rattay, Simms) to back him up.
