The NFL thread 2008

[capt. scotty]

The NFL Network rules. I'm pretty sure that's the channel that I've watched 95 % of the time that my TV's been on for the last couple of weeks.

I've also been watching "Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Dallas Cowboys" on HBO for the last few weeks. I'm not sure that I saw all of them, but I think I saw most of them. I watched the last episode this morning. I hate that it's over with. I loved that show. Good stuff.

Oh, yeah. Did I mention that I got NFL Sunday Ticket?!?!?!  :)
My wife actually called and ordered it. She's the BOMB!

Hard Knocks was great. The only thing that surprised me was that I thought Keon Lattimore looked real good. I know theyre stacked at RB - by the way Corey, whenever we go head to head in fantasy this yr, you should bench your team and give me a win because taking Portis over Barber was a gift for you..it was my first draft of the year (had about 5 since then), and wasnt prepared/up to date at all..u stole MBIII - but I thought Lattimore looked very good.

I had an early birthday present today, I got the Sunday Ticket for FREE basically  ;D

Ive heard of DirecTV being very customer friendly, so I call them up. Ive only personally had DTV for 5 months, and 'tell' them I was considering getting the ticket but 290$ sounded ridiculous. I follow it with the deal they have where new customers get it free pretty much

The girl Im talkin to (who sounded cool from the get-go and I could actually understand everything she said), proceded with this as I kept pushing her:

Decreasing my 5 payments for Sunday Ticket from 74.99 to 57.99 (85$ saved)

Giving me free DVR for a year (72$ saved)

Taking 18$ off/month for a year (216$ saved)

The Ticket costs = 290$

$$$ I just saved  = 373$

So basically I just got Sunday Ticket for free, and have to pay 83$ less over the next year than I should of  ;D ;D ;D

God damn, that's a great deal! And yeah, they are super-friendly. My wife got all kinds of free shit when we switched to them from Comcast a few years ago. They also gave her some pretty sweet deals when she called to order the Sunday Ticket a few weeks ago.

Oh, and I don't have Barber. I wish like hell that I did. I ended up with McGahee and Grant as my starters, neither or which are at 100%. McGahee is still questionable for tomorrows game.   :-/
My back-ups are Kevin Faulk, who is suspended for the first game and Tim Castille, which was totally a Homer pick, but I did it anyway because there wasn't much left when I snagged him.

oh, my bad...for some reason I thought I remembered it being you drafting behind me

whoever it was landed Barber when I was a dumbass and took Portis instead

1 Day....WOOOHHOOOO

[AMightyCaporal]

I hope my Dolphins can at least make it back to.500 this season.

yes i hope so too, i watched them last night, so pissed that they lost- but they looked pretty sharp towards the end, where was that two-headed running monster we kept hearing about?

Sorry capn, that was me!  :D

[bearass]

pats are screwed

[corey]

Yep.
Brady = out for season
Croyle = out 2 to 4 weeks
V Young = out 2-4 weeks

It was a rough day for some QBs, but a great day for others.

Matt Ryan and Joe Flacco looked impressive in their starts as rookies. Romo and Favre were impressive as well... and McNabb! Who'da thunk it?  :D

[Taterbug]

Looks like I am gonna have to add a Matt Forte jersey to my closet with my Curtis Enis, Rashaam Salaam and  Cedric Benson jerseys. We won't even get into the Q.B  jerseys I have from the bears.  I had to rent a storage unit  for those.

GO BEARS !!!!!!!

Check out who guards my computer monitor...



It's the FRIDGE, Bitches!!!

[bearass]

nice is that a football mace?

I thought it was a trolling motor

[ycartrob]

Vince Young was sulking on the sidelines after his 2nd interception, before he got hurt. Pretty weird to see him do that.

[Taterbug]

Wow,   the fridge made G.I. Joe status.  He looks to happy, like he's lookin at a ham sandwich.  He could eat an apple thru a tennis racket with those teeth.

[corey]

Yeah, that's a football mace. Pretty bad-ass.

[easy way]

D E N V E R    B R O N C O S ! ! !

I saw my first game at mile high when I was 10 months old...we're lookin' good in OAK right now.  :D

[TheBigChicken]

Tampa could have their hands full with Atlanta this Sunday.... :-/

[pawpaw]

Fucking Raiders, that was a joke. I know Russell needs time, but the fucking receivers were pitiful, and the defensive secondary was disgusting. The whole day sucked yesterday, worked till 8:30, and get home to see that shit. Fuck. >:(

[TheBigChicken]

I bet Darth Raider was PISSED

[pawpaw]

I bet Darth Raider was PISSED

I bet he pissed his fuckin' Depends after the whoopin' his team got last night. That was a fucking embarrassment.
