The NFL Thread

It's one of those moments where you stare down into the abyss and the crushing reality of hopelessness hits you.

Damn dude. You need a hug. RG3 is going to be good. They need another solid draft and mostly cap management.

Dallas game was so frustrating last night.
The game was there to win and the team could not come up with the big plays when it counted the most.

Why does a guy like Orlando Standrick put himself in a position to make a play and fail to do so? Once was bad enough, but a second opportunity was just awful.

The falcons were able to run down the clock to a point where Dallas had very little chance to score a game winning TD.

I know to date Dallas has played the toughest schedule in the NFL and the schedule for them only gets easier for the remainder of the season, but at 3-5, the team has dug themselves a huge hole that might be impossible to escape.

You've got no #1 draft picks until 2015

That's what has to hurt right now. That 2013 pick is starting to look pretty high. Not saying RG3 wasn't worth it, but he did come with a steeper price tag than Luck or Newton.

Give me a hug.

I'm surrounded by fucking NY Giants fans here and nobody else is going to do it.

I am excited about attending the Cowboys/Eagles game in early December, in Dallas. Can't wait to visit the Death Star, and watch two almost as pathetic teams as the Redskins duke it out for second to last place, in the amazing techno-football palace Jerry Jones has created.

The Rams have to be licking their fucking chops.

Ratahan didn't make him complain about the media comparing him to scam.

Uhh, again, ok. RGIII just had the first bad game of his career, and his coach - with 7 games remaining - has just announced he's giving up on the season. If the guy is a little cranky and wants to bitch about something, hey, good for him. I've got no problem with RGIII and he's got a right to an opinion. He's still saying the right things - HE hasn't given up, even if his washed up coach and pathetic teammates have.

That was before the game. Obviously he was distracted.

Terry Bradshaw made the biggest fumble in the NFL on Sunday when he compared Reggie Bush TD run to "chasing a bucket of chicken" -- but the jaw-dropping comment was intended to be an inside joke .

Hall of Famer Bradshaw was describing Reggie's play during yesterday's halftime highlights show on FOX NFL Sunday -- when he spewed, "Look at this Jimmy, like he was chasing that bucket of chicken that the wind was blowing the other day."

If he was Irish and somebody said he was chasing a potato would anybody care?

Who actually says, "chasing a potato"?
But I do know that some white folks that are racists
will refer to a colored man and chicken in the same sentence.

[Crazy Levi]

Errr...wow...Bradshaw is no racist and probably had no idea what the hell he was talking about...but this will get fun I'm sure.

I can't wait for the apology.

Clearly, Bradshaw is so dumb he couldn't spell cat if you spotted him the C and the T.

well that sucks.

Still, I'll put that on about 432 on the list titled "Things That Trouble Crazy Levi Concerning the Redskins."

[WTF]

Sounds to me like he said "Look at that Jimmy. Like YOU was chasing that bucket of chicken..."

Maybe Reggie Bush likes chicken. I like chicken. Terry Bradssaw has been on tv since i was fucking born. Never ever as he once come off like a racist as far as I know. Now he says bucket of chicken and Reggie Bush in the same sentence and now he's a racist?

GTFO.

The whole calling a black guy a monkey thing is just another thing to take your eyes off real racism. Has Reggie Bush complained? I'd bet he doesn't give two shits. All the white people do though.

That remains to be seen.

Will everyone just leave the venerable old dumbass alone?

Or will this escalate into an old school Jesse Jackson shitstorm?

Honestly, it's not exactly a slow newsweek, with the election and Sandy and all. My bet is this one pretty much evaporates, as it should.

[Machado]

I dislike the Giants with a passion, but I don't want to see someone
get hurt intentionally.

That being said, this hit was "very clean".
Nothing dirty about the vicious hit on Cruz
Ref blew the call. Flag was for hit to the head. There was no hit
to the head.
Why can't replay be involved here to prove the ref made a bogus call?

Does the Jaguars defense really suck, or did the Lions finally find a running game?

I'm pretty sure even Jesse Jackson knows he is not a racist. Actually i'm betting Jessie loves chicken. Don't most of us?

The only thing about the Jags that doesn't suck is MJD.

They ran Rush Limbaugh off for a less inflammatory comment. Granted, Limbaugh is a douche that probably actually is a racist, but that's beside the point. I like Bradshaw. Who doesn't? I hope this thing blows over too.

Before yesterday I'd never heard somebody say "chasing a bucket of chicken" either. Just so you're aware Machado, you really can't call black people "colored" anymore. That's kind of a no no, kinda like chicken metaphors.

You're welcome.

WHen's the Reggie one gonna show up?

Exactly.

Anybody else who said what Rush said would've just had to make a public apology and it would've been all good.

Rush is a hypocritical assbag nobody but the rich fucks he's protecting like. Terry is a funny old former NFL QB that most people at least think is a decent and normal guy. Howard Cossell got run off for calling that Alvin Garrett a monkey even though he called Mike Adamle the same thing the year before. he was alos known to call his grandkids monkeys. Because they hated Cossell. Not me, I loved him. But his bosses hated him. meathead probabaly hated him too.

a) I love Cosell. A little before my time but clearly the greatest sportscaster ever. Why do you have to keep assuming things, politically, just to push your agenda? It's very sheep of you.

b) Cosell WASN'T "run off." Get your history straight you big buffoon. He didn't apologize, he stood his ground, and he wasn't fired.

But hey, just invent whatever you want to suit your political bias, as usual.

Who else besides bookies, online gamblers and fantasy football player sit down and watch the NFL Today or 3 hours of ESPN Gameday on Sunday?
Not me. Fuck all that b.s., double talk and "inside information".

LOl if you think he wasn't run off. I never claimed he was apologized or got fired. why would i think he would apologize? he didn't do anything wrong. You don't have to be fired to have been run off. Especially in that business.

You keep on believing he left because he stopped liking football. He most certainly was run off. Whether it was said or not, everybody knows that did him in.

He stopped liking football. I suggest you dig a little deeper than wikipedia, Meathead. And what does Howard have to do with politics? i don't even know if he was left, right or in the middle. But i know he didn't quit on his own.

I read his fucking book jerk off. You should read it, instead of sticking with wikipedia entries.

And he quit doing Boxing around the same time. I guess that's cause he was "run off" too by the liberal elite, not that he was disgusted by pro boxing? He also kept working for ABC for a couple of years after that. He called the fucking 1984 Olympics, which is my first actual memory of him.

Your contention is that the "liberal media" ran Cosell off because of his little monkey statement, and that simply isn't true. He survived it, and retired because he was sick of it, was old as fuck, and didn't want to deal with assholes anymore.

You are entitled to your opinion, but I don't appreciate when you assume shit about me and state it as fact. I apologized to you for doing the exact same thing - even if it was a mistaken identity - and I'd appreciate the same respect. Not that I'll get it.

I'm sure you'll try to convince me next that I didn't actually like Cosell.



And who are you voting for, anyway

WOW-Someone just was owned here and I'm glad it was not me.
Howard was "pushed out" and back in 1983 when this occured, ABC had not choice but to ask Howard to leave the booth.
I firmly believe what Howard said in his book, that he used the term "monkey" basically quite often around his family, kids, grandchildren, etc...
It was not meant a a 'racist' comment.
There are many racists in this world, but back in '83, Cossell was not one of them.
His poor choice of words on national t.v. cost him a job.
