Football just seems really bland overall this year, college and NFL. Looking over the scores for the games today, I realized how little I actually care. I've been doing laundry all day and I haven't missed watching the games at all. There are a few interesting things out there, but I mostly just feel indifferent.
Anybody else feeling a down year?
I honestly feel exactly the opposite, I love how any team can win at any time and I just overall love watching football. Rutgers and New Orleans are such fun to watch and cheer for.

Jay Cutler was born in Santa Claus, IN...the bronco fans are ready for a present....so far, plummer has been a fat lump of coal in the fans stocking.
now a 4th int, 3rd by washington...the refs robbed him of it, that is one of the clearest 2 feet in bounds plays ever and they straight up said incomplete WOW!!!!!! he had both in bounds clearly, everyone agreed, but he got robbed so thats 4 picks for plummer.
hahaha brandon jacobs runs the ball in, stuffs it under his jersey and pretends it's a baby - then the ref laughs at it, grinning ear to ear - and then they throw a flag.... what the?
And the Raiders couldn't help but lose the game at the last minute, although the refs sure did a good job of screwing them out of that last INT.
they did get burned on that INT, it was clear as day, even the announcers said it was a clear cut INT.... walter did what he could do, everyone knows what he can do when given time to throw - their offense just blows.
ugh, there were so many things wrong with the giants tonight. They shouldn't have let up with the pressure on rex they had going in the 1st quarter. Corey webster was getting lit up all game, he didn't even know what to do half the time. Eli sucked, he has tunnel vision on plax now, he really has to shake that. And *** is with not throwing the shockey, I was hoping he'd get a little more involved after his 8 ctahces or whatever it was last week, and the fact that we're down an important receiver. IT's not a coincidence that after he got his first and only catch the offense came a live for a little. They may as well trade shockey because he's not incorporated into the offense.....Madden was even commenting about getting him involved early in the game.
The one bright point of the game was the safeties, gibril and demps were both making good plays and getting after the ball.
I don't hate Eli, but I always thought he was over-rated. Plaxico sure makes him look good though with those amazing catches. The Giants have too many injuries. I guess the Bears quieted some of their critics tonight w/ a convincing win.
Romo is doing pretty well for the Cowboys. In about 3.5 games, he is just 40 yards shy of what Bledsoe had in 5.5 games, and he has 4 INTs versus Bledsoe's 8 (with 3 of Romo's coming in one game, which was the first significant playing time of his career). Of course, he has also been sacked 6 times versus Bledsoe's 7.
Alright guys, if your religious please pray for the Bucs and my sanity this Monday night!
Should be a good game though, even though we are so damn inconstant!
Sorry idiot, after Gruden left the raiders I'm on a "hate the bucs" rampage. ;)
Raiders should have won that game. that is all I have to say, stupid Broncos, i cant believe they are 7-2. I predict a huge loss next week agains the Chargers.
I don't know, the chargers pass D sucks hard and the broncos have a great defense.... doubt they can stop the LT train but they can probably stop rivers.Quote:

I don't get this love affair that basically all sportscasters have with the Charger's powder blue jerseys (I hear someone say they're the best uniforms in all of sports at least two or three times a week), but I think the Buc's home uniforms are freaking sweet looking.
Also, I'm going to go ahead and make my annual "ridiculously early surprise team pick of the season," and say that I think Tampa Bay will be great next year.
ocho cinco blew them up for 260 yards and 2 td's, they suck. 440 passing yards given up, they aspire to be average.
Looks like St. Louis lost Orlando Pace for the season. That's going to hurt, you don't just replace an all-pro LT. So much for their chances; watch, SF will actually pass them by this year.
Well I agree, and I will be the first to admit the bucs are only slightly better than the raiders this year, if that! Hell we are worse than that sack of crap team.Quote:

God what a horrible season! AHHHHHH! Frustrating, because we have the talent, but not the maturity to be 6-3 or better!
A lot of people in Tampa want to blame Gruden, and say he's a horrible coach. And then they say, well Tony Dungy made the Bucs good, and I agree, but then I say, well who made the raiders good in 2002? I don't think Gruden is a bad Coach, I think Gruden is a great coach with unexperienced players on his team.
And Tony Dungy, I really want the Colts to go 16-0 and win the Super Bowl, I love Dungy. He came into this town and really turned around this Team, all the best for him!
So quoting one game means they suck? I'm sure glad you're not a historian...Quote:

15th out of 32 teams? I'd say that's pretty ave...Quote:
