NFL 2024

The Browns live to just bring some teams down from their high horses.

And here's to you, shirtless football fan in snowstorm.

 
It was mid-30s, so not that cold. Also, why is football the only sport where this happens? Never go to a baseball game with people without a shirt on. No shirtless people at hockey games or basketball games. Just football. And it is never people that can get away without the shirt. It is always the people that should be wearing a shirt!

I was surprised the Browns won this one. It didn't seem as obvious as the Ravens win. Chubbs might have gotten the rust off.
 
This season started out as the year of the kicker. But lately it's been the kicker apocalypse. Five misses in this game alone.

 
A recording of the last five minutes of the Dallas-Washington game needs to be stored in an underground vault so people can watch it 1,000 years from now and be amazed.
 
I'll tell you what wasn't an amazing finish. New England at Miami. The highlight for the Patriots was getting the game within two scores in the fourth quarter.
 
When the extra point was missed I thought of the old TV show 'Wide World Of Sports, 'The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat'.
 
They moved the extra points out so it wouldn't be as automatic. I still say they should have to kick it from wherever ball is "touched down" instead of this silly middle of the field crap. Same with field goals. Why are the hash marks even there. You get tackled, play the ball from that spot. Offset a little bit for out of bounds.
 
There were some good games Sunday. I am not really a fan of any team, I like to see competitive games.

Offense sells tickets and boosts ratings. That’s why they moved the hashmarks closer together decades ago.
 
Bears snatch defeat from the jaws of victory again with the worst clock management I’ve seen in years.. Lions looked like they spent halftime reading their press clippings. They sure didn’t look like the NFL’s top team.

Yeah, that was pretty stupid. But I'm a Lions fan so I don't mind. I'll take a stupid win over a loss anytime. Lions fans have plenty of experience with stupid losses.

I had to work, so I didn't see any of the game, but a buddy at work was keeping up with it (and wearing his Lions gear). I was surprised to hear they'd won. It is a Detroit Lions tradition on Thanksgiving to have a lead through the first 3/4, and then blow it at the end.

Traditions die hard. :D

Really -WTAF???!!!
How can they be so asleep at the wheel with 30 seconds left, and within FG range? And a time out in hand??!!
Was that game fixed or something?
 
3.5 hours until my Raiders get beatdown on a nationally televised "game."

I have this hopeless chore of putting together a bed I ordered via Amazon. It's like a manual labor puzzle with no instructions and I absolutely suck at it. It's been sitting in that room for about a month and I've set aside this day to do it. I was excited, but now the day is upon me.

Putting this goddamn thing together is going to be easier than watching the Raiders though.

Oh quit whining! The chefs are cooking … Broncos should have beaten them last week. I’ve had a soft spot for the Raiders since the Kenny Stabler era. They had a KILLER defense, and struck fear into all. And The Snake was so shifty …
Of course they were OAKLAND Raiders back then, which alone was more fearsome than “LA Raiders” or “LV Raiders” could ever be.

The Raiders were interesting to watch all the way back to the AFL days. Back then, they had wars with the Chiefs; they did stuff that today would not only be penalized, they'd probably result in criminal charges. Lamonica, Davidson, Otis Sistrunk, Willie Lanier, Otis Taylor, Mike Garrett. Those were the days.
