That’s because the “C” in “NYC” is implied. Stands for “choke”. Except for the Yanks AKA “The Bronx Bombers”-- here we can extrapolate that they are a New York City team since The Bronx is located in NYC.
The Jets are the worst, in my opinion. Every year they fill their fans with hopes and dreams only to trample them to smithereens. Manny’s right. They will lose tonight. Or, knowing them, they’ll win just to get our hopes up that much higher before so that it’s that much more painful when they crash and burn.
I know your feeling, pepperlandgirl…I’ve been a Bronco’s fan even before the Orange Crush days of yore. I was so hyped after the first few weeks of this year: beating almost everybody (I still think the Ravens game as an abberation), great defense, good solid offense…hell, this team had Super Bowl written all over it.
But f’chrissakes…in Jersey, I hardly ever get to watch the Broncos play. Their games just aren’t telecast out here. I have had the chance to watch 4 games, and yesterday was finally able to locate a station that carried the Broncos Network…total of 5 games that I was able to follow live.
Guess which games the Broncos have lost? All 5 of them.
They were discussing Favre’s throwing style (doesn’t always throw off of his back foot…throws on the run across his body blah blah blah) and mentioning that Favre says he uses a lot of torque to throw the ball that way. Darryl Johnson, the color guy wanted to know what the definition of torque was…insane hilarity ensued.
Then Johnson commented on Favre’s cute ass and how much he wishes he could give him his pre-game hummer…but I may have gotten that part wrong.
Atlanta must own Tampa Bay (too bad they can’t both lose)
I just hope Brooks and McAllister can stay healthy.
And by the way - that had to be exciting for Jake Delhomme last night - throwing only his second pass of the season, he got the first down and sealed the deal.
As a Redskins fan, I’ll join in the bitching. Though at 5-7, I think my team has found its level. I expect we’ll beat the Texans and the Cards again :), and lose to the Eagles (no matter who they have to play at QB) and the Cowboys (yet again:(), to go 7-9.
What bothers me isn’t that the Redskins are losing; they even had a losing year under Gibbs. The problem is that it’s hard to see how they’ll get back to being a good team. For a number of reasons, I don’t see it happening very quickly under Spurrier. And watching Snyder do a 180-degree turnabout on the team every year, year after year, I wonder how he ever got rich enough to buy the Redskins. Because if a business comes up with a completely different plan, every year for several years, on how it’s going to become profitable, chances are it won’t.
Substitute ‘football team’ and ‘win’ for ‘business’ and ‘become profitable’, and that’s the Redskins since The Danny took over.
I disagree: I think both teams can lose the game, and quite easily. Atlanta wins the game, but Vick is gone for the season. Seeing Vick go down would make baby Jesus cry.
Let’s work a deal. We’ll take care of the Steelers and you take care of the Saints for us. Apparently the Saints have our number this year.
And to all Saints fans: Great game last night. You really pulled it together in the second half: shut down Simeon Rice and found Brian Kelly’s blind spot. Deuce did just enough and Joe Horn looked amazing.
I can’t hate the Saints yet. Brooks is my fantasy QB for the second year in a row, although I might have to pick up his cousin next year…
Bah Brooks can go down and the offense will still click.
DelHomme is a QB I have been screaming for since he wailed on Dallas in his first start in the Ditka years. I am still waiting for DelHomme to get on over to a team and do some damage as a starter.
Oh it is Official The Cards had their worse defeat sunday since 1898. Yes folks 1898 Fucking pathetic PLUS the have lost another O-lineman to injury and another WR. Just great.
If they lose to Detroit I am Gonna be Sooo damn pissed.
If I may be so bold as to ask: Where the hell are all you guys every week? Nobody’s got nuttin’ to say in the weekly pick thread over at IMHO?
[sup]Of course I didn’t post to this week’s thread at all 'cuz I’ma girl and girls have to do things like cook and clean and shit during Thanksgiving week-- unlike all the butt scratching, coach potato guys. — Yes we girls gotta shit during Thanksgiving week.[/sup]
The only team I follow is the Vikings. And the idea of popping into IMHO once a week just to say Vikings-Opponent: Opponent by 20 just does not trip my trigger.
Sincerely,
chique
Queens fan
PS: Did I mention the big choking feeling I have in my throat?
So let’s talk about my Niners. We’ll start with the coronary…er secondary.
Look for the fuckin ball!!! I can’t believe how many times I’ve seen the receiver look up to make a catch, and the cornerback is looking the other freakin direction. Webster’s had a couple bounce off his helmut, can the point be any clearer. Oh and Rumph, here’s a little tip for you. Bump the goddamn receiver when he get’s off the line, it might give you a chance to keep the fuck up with him.
Hey Mooch, you know that loud-mouthed egotistical jerk wearing 81, he’s a play maker, Perhaps we could throw him the fucking ball occasionally. Oh, another thing, there are FOUR, count em, FOUR FUCKING QUARTERS in a game!!! How about having the team play all of them you enept moron.
Although the Steelers are leading their division, they are driving me nuts. Can a Cowher-coached team put an opponent away?
Every time this team gets up, it goes into a shell, their ass puckers, and they are clinging to a 2 point win (Jacksonville), blow a 17-point lead (Cincinnati), blow a 17 point, 4th quarter lead AT HOME to the Falcons… the list goes on and on. He continuously goes into his bullshit “trade points for time” and it drives me up a wall.
As for my other complaint… Michael Vick is what Kordell Stewart should have been. Instead, Kordell wanted to be a drop back, pocket QB instead of using his God-given talent to run like the wind… and Cowher let him. Thank goodness Dan Reeves is smart enough to let Mr. Vick go. And thank goodness Vick is taking advantage of his talent. If that was Stewart instead of Vick this Sunday, he would have stopped short of the line of scrimmage and threw an incompletion before he would run for a game-winning touchdown. (After all, he didn’t want to be a gimmick.)
<sigh> Here’s to another year of an early playoff loss… or worse… an AFC Championship game in Pittsburgh. Another painful end to the season.
And to think, my Lions want to give up our inept moron for your inept moron. Oh well, I still believe Detroit will go to Super Bowl XL and play the big game at home (that’s 2006, I believe). The only team worse than Detroit is Cincy, and I’m not totally sure we would beat them. I can handle our rookie quarterback not doing great, but get a frickin RB (and a few DBs too)!!! For the love of…
