Running NFL Week XVI thread

400 yards? You're being too kind to the Vikings' secondary.

 

Bears-Packers is an old-fashioned rivalry game. Bears had better win by 30.

Vikings are now in full draft mode. Lose Vikings so you improve the draft positioning!

 

And fuck up the pick.

 

Mike Tice isn't there to mess things up or to sell his Super Bowl tickets. He's Jacksonville's worry now.

 

Whatever it is, it ain't TO's fault. Just ask him:

His frustration was evident after a 23-7 loss, when he scored the only Dallas touchdown, then complained several times that not enough passes are coming his way.

"I just feel like I'm not involved early in the game," Owens said. "Everybody knows that's what I do. Every team that I've played on, I've been involved early and often. It's hard to get in the flow when you're getting a ball here, a ball there."

And of course, it's also not his fault when the ball is thrown to him and he can't catch it:

After the Eagles stretched their lead to 16-7 in the third quarter, Owens let an almost perfectly thrown deep ball by Tony Romo go right through his hands along the sideline. He said there should have been a penalty on Brian Dawkins, who was defending him.

"He bumped me way down the field and I started to regroup. By the time I looked up and located the ball, it was right on me," Owens said.

Earth to TO: "Fuck off, asshole."

 

I hate ESPN more for covering TO's every move.

Earth to ESPN: We.Don't.Care.

 

You can start by choosing not to acknowledge him by that ridiculous "nickname."

 

It's faster and simpler than spelling out his name.

LJB.

 

There is NO WAY the Giants are winning Saturday. None. It's a guaranteed loss.

 

Would the Redskins have any heart, though? Do they care enough about this game or the rivalry to win it?

 

Gibbs ain't quittin. Let's not forget how he took an 0-5 team to 8-8 the year before the Skins' first Super Bowl win.

Plus, the Skins have plenty of heart. They stunned the Saints and nearly beat the Rams. If Deuce and Reggie Bush can eat up the Giants, Ladell Bates might rush for 300.

This one will get real ugly, real fast.

 

His players might not.
