Brett is a gunslinger. Sure, Brett sometimes throws without regard for the defense. But Brett can throw it far. Brett can throw it really far. Brett loves throwing it deep. Brett throws hard too. Real hard. How hard does Brett throw? Brett can put “mustard on the brat.”
Randy is fast. Randy is so fast. Randy is an athletic freak. A super freak. People may not like Randy, but that’s their problem. Randy does what Randy wants. Just ask Joe Buck, who is disgusted by Randy. And don’t forget that Randy is rich. How do we know he is rich? Because Randy pays “straight cash homey.”
Brett knows talent. Brett makes talent. Brett allowed Bill Schroeder to have nine touchdowns in 2001. NINE! Despite Brett’s 499 career touchdowns, he’s never had a hall-of-fame type receiver. That’s why Brett wants Randy. Brett has always wanted Randy.
Now Brett has his Randy. Brett throws far. Randy runs fast. Brett can nev—what? No, they are not past their prime. What kind of ridiculous statement is that!? Brett had 33 touchd—huh? Stop. Just stop. Oldest Show on Turf!?!? How dare you suggest such a nickname. Gunslingers don’t get old. And Randy is fast, remember? How fast is Randy? So fast he already caught a touchdown from Brett without anyone knowing about it.
Ladies and gentlemen, meet Chuck Cecil. Now in his 10th season with the Tennessee Titans, he is the team’s defensive coordinator. During yesterday’s game against the Broncos, Cecil apparently disagreed with a neutral zone infraction penalty called on Titans’ defensive end Jason Babin.
That’s one expensive peace sign. The NFL announced today that Cecil will be fined $40,000 for the gesture. Yet this isn’t the first time someone within the Titans organization has made use of their fingers to show disapproval.
For those who don’t remember, that was Titans owner Bud Adams giving his own “Hawaiian peace sign” to the Buffalo Bills during a game last season.
On a separate note, Kevin Harlan is one heck of an announcer. And major props to the camera man for somehow finding Cecil on the sideline.
The first weekend in October was a rough one for quarterbacks. Seven signal callers were sacked at least four times: Jay Cutler- 9, Kyle Orton-6, Max Hall-6, Carson Palmer-4, Sam Bradford-4, Matt Hasselbeck-4, Bruce Gradkowski-4. If you add Caleb Hanie’s sack, the Giants got to Chicago quarterbacks 10 times before they could get rid of the ball. It was only the third time in Giants history that the team recorded double digit sacks in a single game. From the world of people loading video of their own TV on to YouTube, here is what Jay Cutler went through last night:
UPDATE Thanks to Kissing Suzy Kolber, there is a slew of photos chronicling the Bears’ struggles to protect Cutler Sunday night. You really should check out the website. As a fan of Green Bay, the short commentary was one of the funnier things I’ve read in a while.
Games that will be televised in the Iowa City area are:
Noon: Balitmore at Pittsburgh, CBS
Detroit at Green Bay, FOX
3pm: Washington at Philadelphia, FOX
Hopefully the country is ready for McNabb’s return to Philadelphia, because everyone is going to see it.
Someone needs to remind the Kansas City Chiefs they’re the Kansas City Chiefs. They improved their record to 3-0 for the first time since 2003 yesterday after defeating the now Jimmy Raye-less 49ers 31-10. Iowa product Tony Moeaki continued the hot start to his NFL career with this ridiculous catch.
On a separate note, I’m not sure who is sitting at home recording a game they’re watching and then putting it on YouTube, but thanks. This seems to be quite the trend among YouTube users. God Bless them.
Thanks to some bonus coverage from CBS, parts of the country watched the Seahawks nearly blow Pete Carroll’s 35th career victory in the NFL. Clinging to a 27-20 lead, the Seahawks managed to stop San Diego on a 4th and 15 at the Seattle 19 with 2:28 left. Then this happened:
Seattle – 2:28
1st-10, SEA19 2:28 Seattle committed 5 yard penalty
1st-15, SEA14 2:28 J. Forsett rushed to the right for 5 yard gain
2nd-10, SEA19 2:24 M. Hasselbeck sacked by S. Phillips
3rd-16, SEA13 2:00 J. Forsett rushed to the left for no gain
4th-16, SEA13 1:38 J. Ryan punt. P. Crayton returned punt for 10 yards
And believe me, watching that debacle was much more painful than reading about it. Forsett’s run came off as an attempt to run clock, perhaps better suited for a situation with five seconds left, not two minutes. The running back simply took the ball and ran left, seeming to have little interest in gaining yardage. San Diego managed to drive back down into the redzone, only to have Philip Rivers throw a game-ending interception.
Oh, how times have changed.
Sebastian Janikowski missed what would have been a game-winning 32-yard FG after connecting earlier in the game from 54 yards out. This guy wanted to give you his best John Clayton…
:02- It shouldn’t. It’s the third game of the season. And you’re the Raiders.
:06- No, they didn’t. Your kicker blew it.
:11- Okay, so he isn’t completely clueless.
:16- Or is he? Did he watch the game? Janikowski’s kick was wide left.
:28- So let’s get this straight. Janikowski misses the kick, you’re team loses,…BUT HEY, AT LEAST YOU DIDN’T LOSE THE BET!
:34- Gambling degenerate alarm now sounding.
:39- And for posting this video on YouTube.
:58- Actually, it’s perfectly believable. The Raiders scored a mind-blowing 17 offensive touchdowns in ’09, good for dead last in the NFL.
1:04- It’s official. This guy really thinks Janikowski will be on your family’s dinner table come Thanksgiving.
1:10- The summary of this game is that Janikowski missed as many field goals as he made against the Cardinals – 3. When’s he going to point that out?
1:14- Obviously, you do.
1:17- WHOOAA!!
1:25- When it mattered? He must be referencing Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie’s 39-yard pass interference penalty that set up the potential game winner for Janikowski.
1:40- He’s starting to realize the Raiders will probably win no more than 4 games this year.
If only Brett could throw against blown coverage everytime, he would be…Brett.
And don’t even begin to think I’m making fun of Brett. How dare you. I love Brett. Brett is the man. No, I’m wrong. Brett is better than the man. Imagine being the man and thinking you’re the man. Really you’re looking up to Brett.
In the latest display of Chris Johnson’s freakish athletic ability, the man who says he’ll rush for 2,500 yards made #33 in the Silver & Black wish the Raiders roster wasn’t available online. On this play, Tyvon Branch (#33 on the replay) made a name for himself by looking like a typical Raider defender rushing up from the secondary, only to allow CJ to do what CJ does best.
In other senseless news from the NFL this past weekend…
Don’t ever open the door to your house for Keith Brooking. He will scare the kids.
Finally, the real reason Calvin Johnson’s touchdown was overturned Sunday in Chicago had nothing to do with this ‘catching the ball is a process’ nonsense. It had everything to do with screwing over fantasy owners of the Lions’ receiver.
As the NFL has done for the past eight years, the 2010 season kicked off on a Thursday night as the NFL hosted live musical performances and allowed a football game to break out Saints defeated the Vikings 14-9, in a rematch of last year’s thrilling NFC title game. NBC had an hour long pre-game show live from New Orleans. Host Bob Costas sat down during the pre-game show with Brian Williams to discuss how The Big Easy is doing five years after Hurricane Katrina. Williams initial response was…well…
Imagine that, people drinking before a football game. I could come with some more witty comments, but Costas’ reaction was pretty priceless.
