A thread not really dedicated to one team or league, just somewhere we can post quick thoughts.

Just like, I thought this was hilarious...

Brett Favre / Detroit Lions.

Just wanted to add these random football things because I'm sure people won't hear enough of these two things this upcoming week.

Random Football Observation: You haven't posted in your Penn State thread in a few days.

3+ weeks to be exact, so don't go thinking your team in the wannabe Steeler jerseys are the reason. They just seem to have Penn State's number. It's disgusting and pathetic but it's true.

Speaking of disgusting and pathetic how about weekend (Thur-Sun) for all the teams in my signature.

Pitt Football - Embarassed @ NC State
PSU Football - Beat by Iowa again (and at home in front of 109,000+)
Steeler Football - Beat @ Cincy for the first time since 2001. Big Ben loses for the first time in Ohio as a pro. 10-1 now.
Pens Hockey - It's only preseason but lost both games.
Pirates Baseball - They actually went 2-2 and actually went on to win their series vs. the Dodger's today 3 games to 1. All this after dropping 6 in a row and were 3-18 in the month of September.

Choose an offense. Who would you choose to be on your offence? QB, RB, TE, and (4) WRs

QB: Tom Brady
RB: Adrian Peterson
TE: Alge Crumpler
WR: Randy Moss
WR: Andre Johnson
WR: Larry Fitzgerald
WR: Wes Welker

Alge Crumpler????

QB Peyton
RB Adrian Peterson
TE Dallas Clark
WR Wayne
WR Hines Ward
WR Andre Johnson
WR DeSean Jackson ( I want some youth)

Random:

I'd like a weekly show that I can DVR of Mike Pereira (VP of NFL officiating) that goes over all the important/difficult/wrong/under league review calls from the previous week.

He has one small segment on NFL Total Access and I never know when the segment is going to be on.

I mean, really? Crumpler? LOL.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that said "WTF?" to Crumpler.

QB: Drew Brees
RB: Adrian Peterson
TE: Dallas Clark
WR: Randy Moss
WR: Reggie Wayne
WR: Steve Smith of the Panthers
WR: Calvin Johnson

Not having Andre Johnson on there is pretty crazy.

lol Iowas QB may be one of the slowest I have seen in a while..

The 3rd and goal qb roll out play against Ark St was laughable.........hopefully Iowa hold on to beat them, would be an ugly loss

Yeah.. they wanted a TO bad on that play. They'll drop a few spots, but it was a pretty obvious trap game. OOC, right in between Michigan and Penn State. That QB's a 4 year starter.. Iowa tends to have problems with the spread. The pick 6 was terrible. Just terrible.

hey you guys got the win though......
so sick and depressed being a Georgia fan right now.......such a brutal swing of emotions......i'm just sick

I dig Legado Nene's name.

This is precisely what I said. Well.. I think I said.. Crumpler... what that ****? to be precise


I would want..


QB Peyton
RB AP
TE Lebron James
WR Calvin Johnson
WR Andre Johnson
WR Fitz
WR Moss

Nebraska.. not that good.

Obviously I say that and then Missouri blows coverage and then the Tigers QB just drills the Danggongbong Sue in the numbers on the 17 or so and Nebraska has the lead.

Standard.

Is there a worse throw back uni than the Denver Broncos?

Okay it's not a throwback but come on!

This ^

QB Peyton
RB AP
RB ronnie brown
TE Tony G
WR Andre Johnson
WR Fitz
WR Welker

I want two good RBs for flexibility, a TE that can catch and block, and a third WR who is an expert working out of the slot.

I like the call on Lebron.

WARNING WARNING WARNING MIAMI HOMER ALERT THIS IS NOT A DRILL

That said, ronnie brown is a really impressive runner, and probably the most underrated back in the league. Week after week I hear fantasy football experts recommend me bench him, week after week I ignore them ( out of necessity mostly) and week after week I am rewarded.


I think Miami has the best 1-2 punch in the league ( and by 1-2 punch I mean of an actual tandem, that has a run balance of 65%-35% or better.... Not the best starter and best back up combo, that would obv be AP/Taylor or somebody)

He is good in all phases of the game. I dont feel I am being a homer. He is ridiculously underrated. He is good in short yardage and an excellent blocker. You are going to need someone to do some dirty work on this team....brown can do that while still bringing pro bowl skills to the table. He is also a great receiver which is always useful.....Miami does not use him enough that way (because he is too busy running the wildcat I guess). He had a great catch on a fade route last night (that was nullified by a holding penalty).

I put some thought into it before posting because I knew I would get called a homer. He would be in sometimes with AP but he would be the 3rd down back. Remember, AP does not play on 3rd and long ever.

Yeah I'd rather have MJD or Chris Johnson as my number two, but i feel you about brown he's good .

MJD would be my second choice for that slot.

If South Florida played with discipline on either side of the ball, they could probably beat Cincinatti.

Edit: WITHIN 7 YOU SHITHEADS! YES!

Edit Again: South Florida is like the Oakland Raiders of Conference USA. Or Big East. Or Sun Belt, or wherever the cornbread **** they're at now.

Looks like the refs want Florida to stay undefeated.

AMEN!! The pass interference call was suspect, but the personal foul right after was just absolutely abysmal.. I mean, one of the most non-sensical calls I've ever, ever seen.

I hate the big 12.. the big 8 was much better.

I think you guys should give us Missouri and add TCU to even things out a bit.

pah, missouri we can beat. It's the texas teams i don't want.

I'm not a USC fan but the Big East officials they have ref'ing this game are pretty bad. Really questionable tic tac flags being thrown.

Unlikely that they were worse than the officials in the Florida/Arkansas game.

I wonder if Oklahoma will actually fall from the Top 25 now that they've got 3 losses or if they'll hold on at 25.

Atrocious.

SEC refs have been HORRIBLE all year long. Its the personal foul and excessive celebrations they they seem to be calling WAY too much.......

Let's put it this way.....my MOM called during football yesterday to ask how much Urban Meyer gives the refs before the game.

It was way above and beyond that.

Not in the AP. LOL.

Holy hell... The Vikings just imploded about 4 different ways.

And now they're back.. Wow.

i hate favre

Boy, I'm real impressed with Flacco. Just salty.

Just torched the Vikings D in the 2nd half.

Flacco and rice are good boy.. hellava comeback. Exposed the Vikings pass defense.

Here's a question.. why the **** isn't vince young starting. What on earth is Tenn playing for?

Football games take way too fucking long and why is there always one OT game in the late games? Delays the whole night schedule
