Since some of you just can't talk about football...


This has been one of the weirdest college football seasons ever.


Games are close and people are losing to teams that they shouldn't

FP

By the end of October it will change again.
I think all sports are weird and unpredictable.
The point spread drives Vegas crazy.
I am glad Texas won, they were the better team and your team and
it was important to you.If it is important to you, it is important to me.

This game looks like a pre-season game . . . sloppy ugly messy . . .

overtime . . . joy

I have a feeling the pack and eggles will be the same

When the Texans' Kalu sacked KC's Huard, it looked like it would make a great "I can has cheeseburger" picture. Kalu leaped up in front of Huard with both arms stretched up in the air and pounced on him just like a cat in attack mode! It was great!

'Skins win in OT 16-13 . . .

I can has quarterback??

That is what we were thinking! It is a great sack. If it makes the highlight reel you will see what I mean.

Grossman still sucks.

cruzer wrote:Grossman still sucks.

Yup

Chargers are beginning to look assertive . . .

Holy cow!! Detroit is gonna beat Oakland!!!

Romo did pretty well, but he's still got a long way to go to redeem himself for flubbing that hold last year.

Go 'burgh! Can't say that out loud here in the Cleveland area; people get lynched for that.

Say it loud, say it proud.
There are Steeler fans everywhere.
Hope they can continue the trend.

In the closet is best in this area. They look at me cross-eyed when I wear a piece of Penguins apparel, but they let it slide since the closest NHL team is Columbus. I have been to the stadium for that game in the past and cars with PA plates or Steeler's decals are normally vandalized. The Brown's fans are over the top in their support of the team.

In talking with a friend who is a social worker the other day, she mentioned that the Cleveland police force has to ramp up for domestic violence calls on days when the Browns are projected to lose. It appears that the menfolk like to take out their frustrations on their wives/girl friends.

They should probably recruit some more manpower, based on today's game.
Where are you from in PA?

hmm, they just might be worse than the banana slugs' fans...

the Altoona area. Then State College and Harrisburg before the Akron/Cleveland area.

You sound like you also have an interest in the 'burgh. From the area as well?

I had to google that reference. UC Santa Cruz is the fighting Banana Slugs? I am holding back laughter to keep from waking up the family. What was going through their minds! Never mind...LSD.

Are you being sarcastic, or is their fan base less than pleasant?

Born in Penn Hills.
Grew up in the mountains near Seven Springs.
Went to high school near tall4 and pooflady.

actually i was referring to the buffalo sabres... their new logo looks more like a banana slug than a buffalo, so that's what we call them in derision... when they came down here and bought up the tickets to the Eastern Conference Finals, they were the most uncouth louts we'd ever seen... picking fights, even among their own fans... and i heard the RBC Center actually ran out of draft beer for the first home game... the upper level was all buffalo fans, and whenever any of their fellow fans entered the section before the game started, they cheered like the team had just come up to say hi... i was so glad they lost the game i went to...

but getting back to football, go Panthers! ...and let's not talk about my college teams, except for Oregon...

Ahhh....Yes it does at that. The Ducks had me laughing all day long yesterday.

What would make next Saturday even better would be if Michigan and Notre Dame both lost by some fluke of the universe. Guess that won't happen.

The Cowboys opened the Wade Phillips era with a 45-35 win Sunday against the New York Giants at Texas Stadium. The Cowboys are 1-0 for only the second time this century because when it was time to make plays, they made them, especially on offense...

neither defense looked so hot in this game.

I think TO caught two passes and made two td, not sure, he did have his earrings on though. I am sure that helped..
