LOLtriots
I didn’t want to blog about the Patriots today, but the dastardly Dr. Atrios has left me no option. His crime? He dared to suggest that his Philadelphia Eagles will beat the 23.5-point spread in tonight’s Sunday night game.
Needless to say, this will not happen. Not only will the Patriots beat the Iggles by over 24 points tonight, but it will be incomparably, hysterically funny. Bill Belichick will run up the score. He will go for it on fourth down when up by more than 30 points. Tom Brady will still be tossing bombs to Randy Moss late in the third quarter. Mike Vrabel will catch another touchdown pass. Vince Wilfork will probably eat one of the Eagles’ players. And there is nothing that they can do about it. I will be sitting comfortably on my couch, LOLing for the whole game.
[Another update: El. Oh. El. The Bills lost today, which means that the Patriots have already clinched the AFC East. Wowsers.]
UPDATE: Anyone watching the Giants-Vikings game? How much money did the Gints waste on signing Eli Manning again?
UPDATE II: OMG Eli blows. 4 interceptions. He’s completing less than a third of his passes.
Just remember Bradley: THEY will win. YOU will only watch.
Nah. I dunno how they decide these things, but jesus christ’s tits in a mason jar, they’ve put some lousy football on my TV.
I got Raiders KC. Oh boy, now THAT’S intense, huh?
Then, of course, Niners Cardinals. I mean, why?
The other network game is Baltimore San Diego. Ugh.
Now that there’s some compelling matchups, eh?
mikey

You live in San Francisco. You’re allegedly supposed to be interested in that game 🙂
LOLPATS!
Or, as i meant to say, lolpats.
when Randy Moss played for the Vikes, we would speculate what his numbers would look like if he ever had a good quarterback throwing to him. Well now we know. And man, is it ever fun to watch!!!

You’d have to be a housebound syphilitic agoraphobic with advanced OCD and unmedicated paranoid schizophrenia to be interested in that game…

I’m looking forward to the Pats playing the Jets. If justice is to be served, the league will see what the Pats running up the score really looks like. Brady & Moss for 4 full quarters…. “Spycam” that.
Peter- I have money on Junior Seau scoring his first career touchdown in the game.
You’d have to be a housebound syphilitic agoraphobic with advanced OCD and unmedicated paranoid schizophrenia to be interested in that game…
I’m still not interested in that game.
Best Pats LOLs I’ve seen in a while.
Another suggestion for Bill “Sexy Beast” Belichick. I’m on ur sideline … bangin ur wife.
The Patriots are going to get theirs. If not today, then soon enough. And we will all rejoice. Karma, baby!
Note to the Eagles Re: Brady – “Sweep the Leg”!
Betting either way on any Patriots game from here on out is a suckers bet. For all we know, Belichick will start Cassel ’cause he already clinched the division.
And I’m of the shrinkingly small minority that Belichick isn’t actually running up the score. The Pats continue passing late in the game because they don’t have a running game worth squat. If you want to finish off an opponent, and you had to choose between handing the ball to Eckel or using all these weapons that you have in your passing game, what would you choose?
Syphilis epidemic? Plane crash? Eaten by wild dogs? Beheaded by Hoosier terrorists?
Surely you don’t mean … on the field? (Much as I’d like to see that, I’m skeptical.)
Am I the only person here who thinks World of Warcraft is far more interesting than football? Or only the one who’s dumb enough to say it aloud?

Possibly, but I think troll-baiting is more fun than football. It’s why I hang out poking the trolls with a stick and stay off the football threads.
Except for this comment.
“Possibly, but I think troll-baiting is more fun than football.”
Yeah, let’s go find Saul and leave these guys to their fun.
Yeah, let’s go find Saul and leave these guys to their fun.
Actually, I’m coming around to agree with Mikey and MzNicky et al that it’s best to leave the trolls to stew in their own juices and ignore them, like I ignore the football posts.
Right after this comment.
I’m a Giant fan and while this post has nothing to do with my following comment (so feel free to pass me by), I am sick of watching Eli Manning come apart when things get tough. He gets so rattled that you can’t get mad at him. It’s like making fun of the disabled. I have tickets to the next Giants home game and if he plays anything like this (3 touchdowns to the wrong team), I am going to try to start a chant of, “Jim Belushi” (Jim Bel-loooshi). I don’t know if it will catch on but it will be a tribute to all of the younger, less talented brothers who live off their big brother’s triumphs. OK maybe you can make fun of him.
I think that watching football is more fun than watching the CBS yapping crew expressing their disapproval of Chad Johnson’s antics. If you don’t like what he’s doing, don’t spend five minutes talking about it on national TV.
Peyton was in the stands puting teh hex on little brother. Maybe he could have come down and taken a few snaps.
BTW, a chant of “Jim Belushi, except Savador” would definitely fail.
err , “Salvador”.
Life is too short to spend any of it watching football. Just my two bits.
The fact is that football sucks goat balls. It’s much more interesting to discuss all of the way liberals are trying to destroy America.
Am I the only person here who thinks World of Warcraft is far more interesting than football? Or only the one who’s dumb enough to say it aloud?
I ask you, can’t both be true? ;-p
How much money did the Gints waste on signing Eli Manning again?
They traded Philip Rivers, who so far this season has fewer completions for fewer yards and fewer touchdowns than Manning. Your point…?
The fact is that football sucks goat balls.
Really, Gary? A real Murkin would be defending American football, a game that is played literally nowhere else.
Gary booted up in safe mode today, he won’t be back full strength until someone runs defrag.
The fact is, Eli Manning played a great game today and the Giants won by 21. Twisting the facts to fit your lib agenda as usual.
I disagree, I thought Fergie looked way worse on that Cosmo cover from 2005.
Shit, sorry guys — that post was meant for Go Fug Yourself. My aim is not so good today.
Belichick was married to Debby, but they divorced in the summer of 2006. They allegedly separated before the 2004 season, which was disclosed by the Patriots in July 2005. Belichick was also accused of maintaining a relationship with former Giants receptionist Sharon Shenocca which helped precipitate her divorce.

That’s okay, Bradrocket. When Favre and teh Pack crush New England in the Super Bowl (just like in XXXI), you will know it is I, HTML Mencken, who encompasses your doom!!1
I agree, though I am a die hard iggelz fan, you will get your cover today. But the cost will be dear. You get trashed in the super bowl in the unlikely event you get there.
It’s actually the NFL who decides what crappy games go on mikey’s tee vee. He’ll be gettting every Raiders & ‘Niners away game & all the sold out home games, love it or shove it. Here in L. A., we’re considered a “secondary” market for the Chargers, so I’m stuck w/ the ‘Bolts many a Sunday.
Isn’t the Dirty America-hating Hippie credibillity of this site being compromised w/ all this (once a wk., almost) football & sports talk? Or are the forces of cleanliness & godliness being lulled into complacency?

Is a “receptionist” an extra fancy wide out or tight end?

I think it further infuriates the Good America-Lovin’ Conservative Righteous that the DFHs would sully the freedomness of the game by talking about it. On the same page as making fun of them.

Not if everyone’s wearing the mandatory garter belt.
M. Bouffant, at least the Rams and Raiders moved away from LA, so you have one slot occupied by a team that has moments of brilliance and the other slot open for the nationally televised game.
Nah. This is the board for real, non-straw human american lefties.
We’ve had football threads, baseball threads, firearms threads, hell, even sammich threads.
One of the reasons the wingnuts hate us is we blow large, smoking holes in their silly mis-representation of the american political left as some kind of unwashed weenies.
Well, sure, no general consensus on the whole bathing thing, but in general even our weenies can kick them around the place.
They actually know this. But they hate being reminded of it….
mikey
Just to rub it in, w/ no “pro” teams in town, we get three free games Sunday morn & afternoon. Not that I’m ever awake for the 1000 game(s). And it’s 1523 & I’m still in my bathrobe, unshowered. It’s no mandatory garter belt, I’ll admit.
Firearms & sammiches!! Regulate that, ATF!
Too bad the Belicheat Pats will always be known as the outfit that had to cheat in order to win … er um, by like 24 points per game.
I just want to see the Pats go perfect at this point, just to make the conglomeration that is the Miami Dolphins, Gregg Easterbrook, and the New York Post cry.
Also because I love my Pats. I remember the Rod Rust days. I can’t remember whether I was that good of a fan (I may have been a Jets fan… shudder), but I remember being aware of Rod Rust.
Ha-ha
“I think they should forfeit, man,” Eagles running back Reno Mahe said earlier this year. “We won the Super Bowl. I think we should get it. I’m going to go trade my NFC championship ring for a Super Bowl ring.”
“I remember being aware of Rod Rust”

Sure, it’s stupid, cliched, and formulaic, but GODDAM I like to watch Faith Hill…

Bullshit follows:
Faith Hill was like a magical technological discovery in “new” country music – hey, if we put a really hot babe out in front of this hideous bland bullshit IT WILL SELL. Then Shania hit and showed more skin.
I can’t really recall such a sculpted person fronting that crap before Faith Hill, mind you I am grateful not to be a scholar of the genre. I can remember being mildly titillated by Tanya Tucker long long ago, and obviously Dolly Parton’s boobs meant something to her success, but surgical artistry in country music reached its first peak with Faith Hill.

It’s amazing what you guys will subject your ears to for a visual. (ST ranks with Celine Dion for worst singer songwriter ever.)
After reading the NYT article about Jets management allowing male fans to harass women at will, I want those Pats to run the score into the triple digits when they meet up in a couple weeks.
It’s amazing what you guys will subject your ears to for a visual.
Our lives as a whole work about the same way.
This is the game with the pointy brown ball, right?
Meanwhile, I enjoy actually playing any of the Great American Sports, and this has inspired me to develop the theory that only those games that–when you’re playing them–give you regular access to your beer will ever be enduringly popular in this country. Hence soccer faces an uphill battle, and whatever happened to hockey?
When the fraud Giants, the team the NFL really wants to be America’s Team, were 6-2, I thought they’d finish 8-8.
I may be wrong. They’re going 7-9.
It’s amazing what you guys will subject your ears to for a visual.
They issued us a Mark I Mode 0 Mute Button. We use it with abandon.
Our lives as a whole work about the same way.
Sadly, this is true. What? You think Pavlov’s research came as some kind of SURPRISE? Sheesh.
the theory that only those games that–when you’re playing them–give you regular access to your beer…
Two words. Softball. Infield.
I used to take a bottle of Smirnoff Silver out to play second base with me. My fielding percentage went down as the game progressed, but the laughter percentage went through the roof….

To paraphrase Nigel Tufnel: “great look, good singer.” Her songs mostly suck, though.
“It’s amazing what you guys will subject your ears to for a visual.”
Like Mikey sed, who needs sound? I hate country music.

You’re right. We should judge people by their shoes instead.

That’s not country – that’s Nashville. Bland sound-alike crap made for white conservative suburban yayhoos.
Real country is Hank Williams.
[…] Bradrocket’s silly man-crushes are up just a field goal (more on this later) on the Eagles at the half. This despite Bradrocket bragging his Pats would easily cover the 24-point spread. […]
I spent this Sunday afternoon at San Francisco’s Museum of Modern Art, contemplating the collage art of Joseph Cornell and the environmental art of Olafur Eliasson. The Raiders, 49ers AND Vikings all won (I’m a transplanted Minnesotan, btw.) Sounds like a formula for success. Let’s see how they do next Sunday when we go hear the Takacs String Quartet.
Hence soccer faces an uphill battle, and whatever happened to hockey?
The Flyers are tied for first place, and that’s all that matters.
31-28 Final.
Even though the Iggles lost, they did beat the spread….
Not only will the Patriots beat the Iggles by over 24 points tonight,
BTW, whatever did happen to Roger Clemens after he left Boston?
Moss has no luck. His backup players didn’t perform for him today, and the refs stole his TD. Sure, his team won, but who cares? Moss is the whole story.
BTW, whatever did happen to Roger Clemens after he left Boston?
He’s out on the celebrity golf circuit and doing AT&T commercials. A fate worse than death, to be certain.
Stop picking on Eli! He had 4 touchdown passes!
And wouldn’t it be hysterical if the Jets beat the Pats.
And wouldn’t it be hysterical if the Jets beat the Pats.
Does “hysterical” mean the same thing as “imaginary”? Then yes.
I have mixed feelings about the Jets beating the Pats. My expectations are so low that as long as the Jets have a better record than the Dolphins the season is a success. But it would be just like them to go up there and by winning fuck up their draft position and allow Shula, et al to have their annual champagne toast.
Anyway, fuck football.
eagles defense only allowed 24 points and the refs gave the patriots a td at the end of the half. jim johnson’s defenses always shut down and frustrate randy moss and youd know that if you really knew football. Too bad Feeley threw that pick to spot the patriots 7 and then even more stupidly threw the pick at the end. but thats why hes a backup. but reid should just run the ball on 2nd and 4 from the 30. the piece-o-shits lucked out.
