Week 1 Running NFL Thread (Warren Moon edition)

We've survived another string of months without any quality football. I look forward to chatting with all of the pro football regulars tonight, and on Sundays and Mondays throughout the season.

Now for my stone cold lock of the week: Under 4.5

As in, it will be under 4.5 pages before Zag/Oop get a thread locked because of Jay Cutler's stats at Vanderbilt/The Pittsburgh Steelers.

Just kidding. Hopefully we can go the entire season without killing each other. Oh I almost forgot: Go Lions!

 

Weeping tears of heroin he can't get a thread named after him.

 

I would be lying if I told you I knew who that was. I even googled "frolicking Buccaneers player + possibly a kicker" in google images. Got nothing.

 

Donald Igwebuike, right?

(Ray Perkins always called him "Donald Kicker" because he couldn't pronounce his last name).

 

Tom Brady in a car accident:

Perhaps Giselle was chasing him with a football helmet after finding out he banged the bar maid at Boston Beer Works ...

 

Seems like Brady wasn't injured in the car accident which is great news.

I have him as my starting QB in two of my Fantasy Football teams.

 

I'll be pulling off the KC double on Monday; Royals by day, Chiefs by night. Other than that, I got nothing.

 

You paid money for tickets to see both the Royals and Chiefs? In the same day?

Are you also into masochism?

 

Ah, Donald. He was with the Vikes when he got busted. At least he was acquitted. When it comes to kickers - especially No. 1s - gone bad, Rafael Septien is still king.

 

You got nothing either way.

 

So I'm in a hotel room and I have ESPNwhatever on the tube this morning.

Colin Cowherd tells me that Jay Cutler is in a love triangle with some reality TV babe.

I see that as a sign of impending doom for the Bears this season.

 

What could go wrong?
