2013 NFL Season Thread

[Your Mom]

Christopher has been giving me dirty looks all game. Because of our damn Madden League I know more Niners than I do Bears

[LL!]

Oh shit! Chris is on to your cheating ways!

[Meacon Keaton]

Football sluuuuuuuuuuuut!

[HC]

Quit blaming Srar! Chicago can't satisfy her needs because they suck.

[VerbalPuke]

Go Broncos! (So the Lions can get this coaching vacancy filled, and Meacon, go Meacon).

[Chris2K]

Srar takes her NFL following habits from Ric Flair. She's supposed to support one team, but, y'know, 49ers.

As much as Phil Simms annoys me on Madden I do love the way he complete no-sells Jim Nantz's promos for CBS shows, about half a second after he's finished doing a promo Simms is back to talking about the game.

Maybe the Sky guys could learn something from that instead of talking about the Wembley games that are happening in nine months instead of the PLAY OFFS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.

[Plubby]

Go, team Ryan Clady! Even though there is no Ryan Clady.

[RFP.]

If the Chargers win this...

Let's now begin the Manning and Brady love fest on ESPN this week

[Plubby]

As opposed to other weeks?

[gunnar hendershow]

Let's begin the 49ers-Seahawks has picked up where Ravens-Steelers left off talk immediately.

That's the real fucking main event next Sunday.

[Maxx]

Little too perfectly scripted for my tastes this year.

[Plubby]

Imagine everyone's surprise when arguably the four best teams made the top 4.

[ThaBoss18]

As opposed to other weeks?

Well it's going to be even worse

[Plubby]

Even worse than usual?!

...Mother of god.

[Meacon Keaton]

I quit ESPN (aside from actual games) months ago and I've never looked back. ESPN is awful.

[Plubby]

I'm going to regret asking this, but where do you read stuff instead?

[HC]

The biggest problem with ESPN is that they've turned into TMZ for sports. I don't care about the exploits of Johnny Manziel. Just give me highlights! Everything is also LA and NY-centric, regardless of how bad many of those teams are. I hear more about the Lakers being mediocre than the Pacers having the best record in the league. All of their shows(excluding PTI and Around the Horn) are just plain awful. First Take is arguably the worst thing I've ever seen. Even SportsNation, which was quite fun for a while, is now terrible with the new hosts.

[Plubby]

First Take was passable when Jay Crawford was the host because he would close with something reasonable. Also that time Mark Cuban demonstrated just how little Skip knows about basketball.

There are millions of places. What do you mean by 'read stuff'? As in what is happening in the world of sports? There is NBC Sports, Fox Sports, or you can go to the individual league pages (www.nba.com or www.nfl.com etc.). In fact, I follow Notre Dame football religiously and ESPN is always at least hours behind information I hear elsewhere. And they even have a blogger dedicated to just Notre Dame football.

ESPN has become beyond bias, especially when it comes to college football, thanks to their deal with the SEC. That's the main reason I gave up on them because I got tired of everybody on ESPN slurping down Southeastern Cocks.

This is dead on. ESPN is sports TMZ. They'll talk more about Tim Tebow not playing football than anyone who actually is.
