The 2010 NFL Thread

Don't need to go for top class OLs, just pick players who won't make stupid mistakes and celebrate every play like they're destroying the other team. Yes, Austin/Williams/Colombo, I'm looking at you.

The flag on the leapfrog celebration was utter bullshit.

He wasn't flagged. Sam Hurd was for (incorrectly) doing the "hook 'em horns" with Roy Williams in a "choreographed" display.

[Meacon Keaton]

Yeah, the ref was kind enough to clear up the wrong stupid call by letting us know of the actual stupid call.

[Cactus Drags]

Fuck, I think that's actually even worse.

[Lowerdeck]

Injury reports that said Gates and Campbell wouldn't start/play today cost me my undefeated mark in EWB Fantasy Football. I could understand if they were coached by Mangenius or Belicheat, but I expect more from the Raiders and Chargers and their beat reporters

Yeah, I got screwed on the Gates report in my other league. I ended up picking up Kellen Winslow and Chris Ivory to replace Gates and Mike Tolbert in the starting lineups. Dropped Kenny Britt to get Winslow, benched Gates. Tolbert had no yards but a TD, Ivory didn't have much. Winslow didn't do as good as Gates. And Britt fucking torched the Eagles.

I still won by 50 points, but now I gotta waste a waiver claim on Britt to try and get him back.

To be honest (or maybe I missed the entire thing), but I'm not quite sure how the Columbo thing the week prior was considered excessive, either.

When he fell down he went to the ground and that's an automatic no-no. That came up when they banned Jared Allen's calf roping celebration.

[Powerhart]

No more out-of-the-box celebration for Jared? Or is that another celebration?

So anybody else heading to Wembley on Sunday?

I'm going for the 2nd year in a row but we're flying out on the Saturfay this time, so I won't be tired during the game and it gives us more time to experience the whole thing.

[Meacon Keaton]

I hope you all are rooting for my Broncos.

[TCO]

I'd prefer the Broncos to win personally, but if it's anything like last year, they'll have almost everybody cheering on the home team eventually. I just don't want a blowout like last year's game was.

[Meacon Keaton]

Between how shitty my boys have played, and how shitty the Niners have played, I think the odds are in your favor to seeing a close, perhaps crappy, game.

[livid]

Except you have Troy Smith to deal with and clearly, he will lead the 49ers offense back to what it was in the 80s/90s!

What happend to Alex?

[livid]

Separated his non-throwing shoulder and is out 2-3 weeks.

Also, I love The Onion.

Interesting and kind of scary article.

JEFF GEORGE PEOPLE. PRAY FOR THE BEARS.

Wow, those are some striking similarities.

Thankfully, my family and I had the foresight to not buy tickets this year, so we won't be missing the worst Wembley game they've done. The Saints/Chargers one was wicked awesome, and I enjoyed the Bucs/Pats last year to a lesser extent. Regardless of the quality of the game though, the atmosphere is always brilliant.

[Meacon Keaton]

Screw you, Dragsy. Neckbeard doesn't want your support anyway.

[Cactus Drags]

They're playing the frigging Niners, he doesn't need it!

Besides, what on earth makes you think I'd root for Orton over Samurai Mike?

[Meacon Keaton]

I didn't know if you've been a Bears fan long enough to know the greatness that is Mike Singletary, honestly.
