Brian Dawkins sez, You can’t sit there and dwell on the piddly-poo of tears. —— WEEK ELEVEN 2009

do you guys even know how hard I'd watch "Tipped Off"?

every time i see that commercial i think of you. obvs.

I think we should all make a pact that if one of us ever makes like a billion dollars somehow we will start the ILNFL channel, with the ILNFL Original Production "Tipped Off" as the offseason centerpiece program. Surely Adam Schefter and Chris Mortenson can be lured away with money and the promise that they don't have to live in Bristol Connecticut anymore.

I mean why does Mort fall down the stairs?! I want to know!

the mort coffee-spitting shot is a heroic alltime lol

if I ever win the lottery - which will happen as soon as I decide to buy a ticket, obviously - we're making a channel for sure. I will be a Ted Turner.

xpost and the hundreds of different years worth of phones that the Schef has...and the fake mustaches! IT's all a lol really.

Hahaha, Michigan, Texas, and Oklahoma (which you have to think is just Texas's bitch here) want the Lions-Cowboys Thanksgiving monopoly to continue, rest of America would rather not have the Cowboys vs. Raiders as the only thing on TV.

brainstorming @ the peyton manning script productions thread will come in handy, no doubt

dealing with my family vs watching dallas cowboys and detroit lions games

most years i'd take the cowboys and lions tbh

I like that that is the half-time debate! It is a better debate than Bob Costas trying to goad Dungy into saying he hates overtime, for sure! Because honestly, who isn't sick of the Cowboys/Lions monopoly? They should be forced to play each other every year.

xpost good point, in almost all cases you can choose rooting agsint the Cowboys + rooting for the Lions out of pity.

I can't complain because night game aka DRUNK GAME is the Giants.

anyway, i volunteer to cover BREAKING NEWS on the ilnfl channel

i'm thinking we just need to wait for that one big story to come around, an oj-level type of story, like if one day john madden goes on the lam in the maddencruiser and gets in a high speed police chase in a major metro area

oh, vince

did they treat it as if it was a new debate?? what about the scott mitchell lions? the qunicy carter cowboys? this has been a problem for YEARS

OMG if John just goes batshit and starts slow-speed cruising against the cops in his maddenbus...!! that will be it for me. i will DIE of DELIGHT.

that actually reminds me of a weird conversation with a coworker on the way to the subway where he confessed to frequently wanting to steal taxis and police cruisers when they get out the car, leaving the door open and the keys in, to like, get falafels from street vendors O_o

xpost they did treat it like a new debate! that was the amazing thing.

Yeah, I am pretty sure I am having Thanksgiving in a home with no televisions, and with people who disapprove of me devoting roughly 80% of my relaxation time to watching sports, so I am sure at some point I will be like "I wonder if the Cowboys are beating the Raiders." I do not know what this says about me, but I am fine with whatever it is.

for chrissakes this has been a problem since barry sanders retired!

it could be worse, they could instead gift thanksgiving to the steelers and the browns and then we'd have to watch them AGAIN on all our tvs (no offense brownie and mookie but c'mon man)

what the fuck happened to barry sanders anyway, is he like in goa or something at this point?

let's see, well for one thing:

He also stated that there were tears in his eyes as the Lions lost the final game of his career the season before he left, because he knew in his heart he was never going to play another NFL game - "I sobbed for 3 months."

since then apparently he's been hanging out in suburban detroit with his local news anchor wife?

maybe ilnfl network can do an investigative piece

3 months! :(

the piddly-poo of sobbing

Barry Sanders Jr. is an RB for some private school in OKC. And he looks like Smash Williams! http://newsok.com/article/3406065

Basically I guess this means Barry Sanders is living in a giant house in Oklahoma, hating the Detroit Lions management a little less every day.

I love how psyched all these dudes are for this game

aw barry sanders, jr!

ok i'm going to do a fashion program on ilnfl network, it's going to have crazy dressed fans, redesigning uniforms, shocking pink accessories, david garrard will show us what kind of hat to buy, that kind of thing

what a sweet throw/catch!

there's going to be a weekly montage of fans all SMH

in fact, there will be a weekly half-hour program of just 30 second clips suitable for gif making, so everyone on the interwebs who likes nfl can just record this program and then they'll be all set. it'll be like red zone channel, only for the goofy shit

as long as tony romo is never on "hatcat: the show" i'm down with the hat show.

Do you think we could hire Donovan McNabb to host "Donovan McNabb's Ridiculous Dancing Party featuring the Brian Westbrook Disapproves Band"? Because I would like to make that happen.

in order to promote this network, we will get some hackers to hack into cowboy terrordome video board, so that the next big game, the boards will show nothing but ilnfl promos and hatcat

mainly i think we should have a reverse "america's game" in which we count down the 20 worst super bowls and are like "WTF EVEN A SOCCER TEAM WOULD DO BETTER THAN THIS"

club ilnfl

even plaxico is invited

xp hahahaha

chuckie with the truth bomb
"that's some amazing useless information"

OK so I am watching a stream that is taken from "ESPN America", which appears to be Europe's ESPN satellite channel showing such wacky sports as football, and they keep on showing these NFL promos that are just some guy talking about how awesome Matt Ryan (or whoever, the last one was Matt Ryan, though) is over highlights of Matt Ryan taken from Madden. It is WEIRD, and I miss last week's ads for Australian PTI.

fred smoot gets his own show & can do whatever he wants

I am pro-Smoot, always.

haha someone gif the texans fan *shrugs* after 'there are two fouls on the play'

did you guys see that old dude who looked like beardless santa? i swear to god it was future jeff fisher.
