It's that time of year again when I realize I hate both NFL Network and my cable company for not meeting in the middle so I can watch a football game on Thursday nights. FUCK YA BOTH

glad I will be stuck in class so watching stat tracker will be more productive

damn i thought they finally settled with all the cable companies. or maybe i just stopped paying attention when they settled with mine.

I guess it's on here in SF on channel 44 (the CW) of all places. Not even sure if I get reception for it.

BEREA, Ohio -- Cleveland Browns running back Jamal Lewis said he's frustrated by another losing season and believes coach Eric Mangini is pushing his players too hard.

Lewis, who intends to retire after this season, said Thursday that he doesn't want to be a "babysitter" to Cleveland's younger players. He wants to win and expressed disappointment that two- and three-hour practices aren't translating into wins for the team, which has a 1-7 record.

"There's talent all over this locker room, young and old," he said before practice. "There's talent everywhere, but that talent has got to be ready for Sunday, it's got to be fresh for Sunday. You can work all day, but if you're going to work like that, you're probably not going to get what you want out of your players."

While Lewis doesn't mind working hard, he said Mangini is wearing out his players. The team captain said he hasn't approached his coach about making changes.

"This is his show, not mine," Lewis said. "You got to take care of your crop. If you don't, when it comes time to harvest, you're not going to make no money because the crop is no good. That's that."

Lewis said the length and intensity of Mangini's practices are not the issue, it's that the first-year coach's approach isn't producing wins.

"If I'm going to come out here and work the way I work, then I want results," Lewis said. "Right now, that's not what's going on. I feel like it's just a waste of time for me."

Earlier, Mangini said he has changed his approach and adjusted this season.

Lewis was asked to comment on the coach's stance.

"Next question," he said.

time to sign Larry Johnson. this is a football team that cannot pass defend, tackle, pass or run. stop complaining about having to practice.

when the answer is "sign Larry Johnson", there is no answer

looks like The Who are doing the SB halftime show this year

look, i've been on board for almost all of the dadrock acts they've pushed on us since tittygate (except mccartney fuck that dude), but this just... dang, man. your best dudes are dead as hell dogg. what are you gonna do about that. huh.

suggest ban halftime show

yeah this is straight-up awful. two og members, and a singer who cannot sing.

I always switch to Puppy Bowl at halftime unless Prince is performing, so this doesn't really matter to me.

man, the Who! ugh

BRING BACK PRINCE is what you gotta do

welcome to the autotrader.com PRINCETIME SHOW

it's always PRINCETIME

i never switch to the puppy bowl because its FUCKING BULLSHIT FUCK YOU PUPPIES

More for meeeeee

the vikings have played one game against a team that currently has a winning record. which they lost.

That sound kind of like the Jets start last year. That being said, I do think the Vikings defense is pretty stout.

how did mangini even get hired? i mean, how does someone leave the nyj and obv have something of a reputation and yet.. walks right into another head coach job?

randy lerner + pats mystique imo

Jay Cutler is currently your NFL leader in interceptions.

u_u

chalk up another for Cutler.

this might be the worst 5 minutes of football i've ever seen. was the first half like this?

he might have given up on the season

that was kind of brutal with the ref being there. didn't see that the first time.

yes i hate to admit that an int is not cutler's fault

this game is not very interesting

forgot this was on, really. fuck the nfl network and thursday night football in general

the telecast blows fwiw

and so do the chicago bears

ugh

fire lovie smith

*shoots self in head literally*

i am watching on a stream and glancing at the chat it went from.. uh.. talking about football, to arguing about vick, to racism that people thought was funny, to racism that people thought wasn't funny, to..
'i hate myself for watching this game'

jordan how many points are u gettin for cutler tonite

If the Niners lose this game, I mean...

did anyone deserve to win this game though? i mean, we already lost

It's true, but it takes a special team to lose a game when you're +3 on turnovers, at home.

jordan how many points are u gettin for cutler tonite

funny thing - the trade won't go through until tomorrow & i forgot to take favre out of my lineup for cutler, so he's on my bench tonight. i was originally mad about this because i was forced to pick up josh freeman for my other qb spot but i'm quite please right now

#5

loooooooooooooooooooool

omg

I didn't see it, but I was eyeing stat tracker. lol indeed.

jesus fucking christ

fitting end

god what an AWFUL decision

tell you what, i'm gonna win bigtime this week in i hate the nfl, i can feel it in my bones

I was willing to give Mangini time here but last night was pretty much it for me.

yeah i just feel bad for everyone on that team, i can't even rail against the shitty play of the QBs because i feel like a lot of what's wrong with the offense comes right back to mangini.

Since Mangini hired a nobody like Daboll to run the offense it does come back to him. It's hard to figure out what exactly the game plan was last night. It looked like it was built around throwing outside screens all night puncuated by the wildcat.

brownie if i could give the entire city of cleveland the tenderest of hugs i would

thanks

lol

i think mangini's hell will be ironic, like spending eternity lined up behind center, protected by their current o-line and forced to run his own plays.
