Me, too. They made me chuckle.

In other news, any prop bets for a team scoring on the first play of both halves? Or would the opening kickoff mess that up?

Run on 3rd and 10? Quite a few head scratchers this game.

the kicker for the seahawks might feel bad enough to try to throw a touchdown pass to denver during a blocked field goal… (yes, that did happen, to the undefeated dolphins).

Why did they punt that?! Just to reduce how much they’ll potentially lose by?

Direct TV just lost my Fox feed. I guess even they couldn’t watch this blow out. Probably just my local station Fox 16 KLRT

I will reiterate. Denver’s defense has been solid.

Little Rock. Fox has been down about 10 minutes so far. I’m following the game on the Internet until they get the feed back up. Could be the icy weather we’ve had today.

Manning hasn’t been great but Thomas has three beetle headed decisions thus far. Only one cost them, however.

Eh, it could be worse; the game could be on CBS, and instead of those two we’d have Nantz and Simms, and instead of New Girl coming up next we’d have 2 Broke Girls, and instead of 24 teasers we’d have NCIS, and…

Also, that fumble might be my favorite yet. First signs of hope, crushed!

When SNL spoofed CBS’ work during the blackout last year, they mercilessly mocked the network’s shameless promotion of 2 Broke Girls. I still quote Kenan sometimes, in jest: “Two Broke Girls. Funny show.”

This game is hella low on Sad Elway shots. So far I’ve only seen one.
