LOSERS ASSEMBLE IN SMALL GROUPS AND COMPLAIN ABOUT THE COACHES AND OTHER PLAYERS - WEEK TEN 2009

^lol @ s/n cad

haha thx.

nice to see such a crisp rhythm to the game so far.

I remember it was called "The Adelphia Miracle" more often than not for the first year, and then the name of the stadium changed and it was suddenly always Music City.

i was referring to the oilers-bills playoff game where frank reich led the bills to an overtime win after being down 32 points in the third quarter

bud adams is one of the league's oldest, longest tenured owners and was a founding father of the afl, it seems pretty natural to me that he would look at the bills (and ralph wilson) as hated rivals~

TIMEOUT ADVANTAGE BROWNS

THIS IS OUR FUTURE

lolvens

wtf

Hauschka is probably not in Kicker of the Decade consideration.

gosh brady quinn is having just a ~tremendous~ game thus far

sorta interesting from the boston.com pats blog:

In another corner of the country, a high school coach named Kevin Kelley approved the move, too. Kelley has gained recognition for his aggressive, and successful, team at Pulaski Academy in Little Rock, Ark. He goes for it on every fourth down on every drive, at any spot on field, no matter the distance. And it works. They won the state championship two years ago. His team has a quarterfinals game this weekend. Just yesterday, Kelley sent film of his team to Texas Tech coach Mike Leach, at Leach’s request.

Kelley frames the debate of Belichick’s decision in an utterly novel way: What if we are making a category mistake about punting altogether?

“Let’s say you have never seen another punt,” Kelley said this evening in a telephone interview. “You didn’t know what a punt was. Belichick trots a guy who doesn’t look like he even plays football to kick it down to the other team. He didn’t try to keep the ball. He just gave it to the other team!

“People are programmed to think on fourth down and 2 on your own 28, you punt the ball. If people could grasp the percentages, that would change the mentality.”*

A handful of high-profile college and NFL coaches have reached Kelley to discuss his strategy. (“They don’t want to be named,” Kelley said.) Most of them find it intriguing, some of them find it tempting. They all have a similar ultimate reaction.

“They say, ‘I can’t do this. I’ll get fired,’ ” Kelley said. “It’s rough. When you think about that much money being involved at that level, they’re willing to sacrifice what they think because they don’t want to lose their jobs. Maybe I would, too.

Just yesterday, Kelley sent film of his team to Texas Tech coach Mike Leach, at Leach’s request.

YES

no receiver on the browns knows what is going on, they are confused. c'mon rooks

I do not know why my mind is so blown by this, but they just showed an ad for Australian PTI:

whoa weird

wtf is all this pre-snap shifting cleveland is doing

so i bet i missed a lot of great football here?

browns offense makes me nervous

I have spent the past 30 minutes wondering if I would not have been better off watching some of my friends compete for the Intramural championship of grad student flag football. (I would not have seen Australian commercials, though.)

it's like--maybe you should score an amount of offensive touchdowns in the two figures before you let brady quinn and a bunch of rookies run audibles?

<3 texas tech, we need to do some brainstorming here about crazy things teams can do & send mike leach some ideas

250k fine for adams damn

i liked when the browns audibled their WRs into a bunch right and brady quinn got sacked on that sad

side i mean, but sad works too

BROWNS :D

chuckie has a point! what if ravens wear throwbacks and thus become the cleveland browns.. wait, somehow i think that happened & explains this game

I fully support letting Texas Tech be the only team in I-A football allowed to run the A-11 offense. Really whatever formation Mike Leach devises should be considered legal, and wonderful. In return for this I demand one game per year between Texas Tech and either Georgia Tech or Navy, who are awesome for the exact opposite reason.

why are ravens so bad all of a sudden

COLD ZING

hahah yes!

OK come the fuck on the MNF Spotlight on Brady Quinn is getting Favreian, except that Brett Favre is not a mediocre quarterback for a bad team. (He is a horrible person, but that's not the point.) They would not be showing Age 4 photos of Derek Anderson.

he was 24 when he did that drawing its not that funny

what's going on with ravens and their 12th man

God I did not even realize that it is almost halftime. I feel like nothing has happened in this game, except that now I want to move to Australia a little, knowing that I will not miss football.

OK now I definitely do because this ad has just happened:

this game

it will make mugs of us all

the greatest game

Aww Tirico wanted to be all "David Tyree you guys! REMEMBER! He was in a Super Bowl once."

hahah yeah he wanted so badly to discuss that

"The longer you let the Cleveland Browns hang around...you're in trouble"

WHAT

(I gots mad love Brownie, but...I mean...Eric Mangini.)

WHEN YOU LET THE BROWNS HANG AROUND IT'S TROUBLE C-L, THAT IS THAT

weathering your brother won a local Emmy- props

Is there someplace on the net with clips from that Australian PTI?

I want to watch that thing.

OK if ESPN is going to show CFL playoff highlights, it is definitely time to put the actual games on ESPN2 or something. Come on, slightly unusual football with announcers making fun of Canada at all opportunities is worth televising.

Actually I think there was a website listed the last time they showed the ad. I forgot it, but there is inexplicably another half of this game left, so they'll probably show it again.

dunno if you watch 30 rock but the CFL gag they did last episode was teh funny imo
