I despise Deion. He’s loud, abrasive, incredibly annoying, and offers no real insight into football. He’s also dumber than a box of rocks. He’s the epitome of what is wrong in football announcing.

I agree…he’s absolutely horrible and painful to watch/listen to.

I’m surprised Arizona has 7 points on the spread against Cleveland. The more I think about it, the more I think Cleveland will win. I mean, it’s the worst possible outcome. Plus Seneca Wallace is underrated by everyone (it’s just assumed he’s in the category of Backup Quarterback even though he’s pretty decent when he sees the field). McCoy out, rally around the backup QB, win a totally fucking pointless game before getting ass kicked again by Pittsburgh and Balitmore… ugh.

I don’t know if you guys saw it, but Johnny Knox is in real trouble. I had heard comments about how he was folded in half, but then I saw the video and yes, he really was folded in half. If he ever walks again I’ll be absolutely stunned.

They just announced that he can move his arms and his legs.

How? How is that possible? I hope it’s true, but wow.

They just announced he’s going to be fine.
He was moving around on the field.

I’m kind of amazed that a Romeo Crennel coached team went for it on fourth down there.

Just one word about that hit; oh, shit! How is he not paralyzed?

Might as well. What do they have to lose?

Not watching the game - what the hell is going on in Kansas City? Right now Rodgers is only 5/14 for fifty yards.

The Chiefs’ defense is beast. They took it to the Steelers and almost salvaged Palko’s 4-turnover performance a few weeks ago. Highly underrated.

That Knox injury was gruesome.
Equally gruesome was Tarvaris Jackson pump faking in his own endzone and then standing around looking for an open receiver for another second or two before having the ball stripped for a defensive TD.

Saints had a wacky first half against the Vikings. Jimmy Graham fumbled, and then there was a miscommunication on a snap that sailed right by Brees. Up 21-13 at the half, moving the ball at will but need to hang on to the damn thing. Brees has 3 TD and 180 yards or so. Graham, Moores, and Sproles caught TDs.

There’s a Romeo Crennel challenge.

So I guess Indy decided they had the #1 pick locked up and they might as well not go 0-16.

They’re showing the Rams game here. Did anyone see that blooper?
A Rams lineman got flagged for holding. As the Ref is announcing it over his mic, you can very clearly hear the lineman say, “I know you didn’t call me for holding. That’s not fucking holding.” It was not only live on TV but broadcast over the stadium speakers. He got flagged again for Unsportsmanlike.

Why the hell are the Saints giving Sproles the ball inside the 2? You bastards!
ETA: Oh… it was overturned and Pierre Thomas got it instead.

Saints rolling, now up 42-13, they’ve pulled Brees to give Chase Daniels a chance to play. Brees finished with 5 TD and about a quarter mile of passing yards. Glad Brees is out of the game at this point. No need to risk an injury in garbage time.

Well, Packers, if there’s anyone who can fuck this situation up and let you win, it’s Romeo Crennel.
