NFL Week 8 thread

The Vince Vaughn thing ticked me off more than anything else. I wanted to know why the guy didn't get a personal foul for taking his helmet off, but instead they're plugging V.V.'s movie (some Disney product, no doubt).

 

Nothing on ESPN can be as bad as SportsCenter's live bit between Stuart Scott and John Madden around five years ago.

Sometimes they even talked about Favre and Ray-Ray, too.

 

I also muted the Deanna Favre segment, and you all make good points. I guess I mistook everyone's gripes. I would have had no problem reliving Favre's Monday night moments, them talking him up ... if that was it. The childhood shit was ridiculous.

I would have loved to hear one of them ask her about the part where she details kicking him out right before he went to rehab.

Zeke, heckuva win. If I ditch the Mrs., want to meet me in Detroit for Thanksgiving? I've got two tickets. ... (I'm joking about the Mrs. thing. Maybe.)

 

Howard Cossell was great for a number of reasons and only an asshole for one(his massive ego intruding on his greatness). Cossell's main genius on MNF was the perception that he was Telling it like it is. NO ONE on the World Wide Fellators comes close to candor, criticism or conscientiousness.

It's hard to remember if Kornheiser was ever anything besides a droll tool.

 

Anyone think the NFL is lacking because the most exciting, athletic and revolutionary player in the game, is not in the game?

 

No. I think it's because the two best teams are head and shoulders above everyone else.

 

Lawrence Taylor has retired.

 

Sure.

What I would have given for Brady to have broken his leg in the fourth quarter, though.

What I would have given to hear Belichick explain his having Brady in there then.

Assmunch.

I mean... does that mean that with 35 seconds on the clock, say, and no timeouts, up by 45, he's still throwing? There's no difference.

 

Co-sell

 

Pete Gogolak has long since retired.
