Week 1 Running NFL Thread (Warren Moon edition)

Kinda convenient way of putting it, too, since those 10 markets contain half the teams.

 

The HOF is very nice. It's open, so you can wander through at any time. Lots of cool tidbits from both the Chiefs HOF-ers and those enshrined in Canton. There's also a ton of cool AFL stuff, including an original, game-used helmet from each team, and a jersey from each team displayed. Lombardi and original AFL Championship trophy on display. And too many other odds and ends to recall.

As for the game, it's one of the more flawed victories you'll ever likely see. But KC didn't turn the ball over, the defense held when it had to, and the return game was eeee-lectric. The Chargers got McCluster-fucked.

As an added bonus, a long night was made longer by having to yield to the freaking police-escorted Charger caravan to the airport on the way home. That was a treat.

 

As someone who doesn't watch them very much, nor the Bears, Cutler and Rivers have always come across as smarmy little dweebs every time I see them play. And I would love to know what their linemen and recievers really feel about them.

 

Since it hasn't been mentioned yet, the Patriots traded Laurence Maroney to Denver on Tuesday for a fourth-round pick in 2011. The Pats also sent over a sixth-rounder next year.
I guess that leaves the Pats thin at RB. They only have 23 different RBs on the roster now.

Teammates aren't much different from fans. When Cutler and Rivers are doing well, they' re well-liked, when they're not, well, they're not.

 

At least Rivers backs it up by winning. Zag was right: Cutler is a loser.

 

If you're tyring to piss me off, you succeeded.

 

Cutler strikes me as a guy possessing a seriously high douchebag factor.

 

Yep. What many people think of him will change, though, if he ever starts winning. Of course, he'd probably have to get traded again for that to happen. I have no problem with the Bears QB being a (relatively harmless) asshole; I just want one to be fucking successful for a change. If that's the case, he can become the freaking spokesman for Ed Hardy and Affliction. I don't give a fuck.

 

But he's under .500 going all the way back to college and doesn't seem equipped to be The Man.

Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy the fuck out of annoying you you douchebag , but the facts are not on Cutler's side.

 

I've been watching the Bears for 35 years and he's the most talented QB they've employed in that time.

Which says more about the Bears than it does about Jay Cutler.

 

This is a shitton of fun. Unless you're a Bears fan!
