We had one on the old board, we need one here. Speaking of which, someone needs to get Corey's ass over here.
Hines Ward just fumbled on the five yard line with a minute left. LULZ.

You know what guys? I want to get into american footbaaoow. I've been watching Friday Night Lights and if all footbaaoow players look like Taylor Kitsch then I'm in. Also I like the little trousers they wear. They really show off the bottom. The only thing I know about the game is that it appears you have to run into people as hard as you can and goddamn that looks fun.

Isn't the NFL trying to create a team in England?
Edit: Ughhhhhhhhhh Steelers won.

You've pretty much got it, Emma. That's about it.
I can't believe Ward fumbled there. Aye. But Skippy put it in.
I'm pretty sure this board has the only people who posted in the NFL thread anyway. Just dig up TJ and ryan. We're golden. I can ramble about my redskins again.

I used to have a sweet vintage Redskins t-shirt, but I had to sell it because Matt wouldn't talk to me when I wore it.

I'M SORRY. AT LEAST YOU BOTH LIKE THE CAPS. That's all I got.
You never liked him anyway, you're from DC.

I agree with Nick. No one should like anything that comes out of Philly.
A Philly animal shelter is donating 5 bags of dog food to local shelters for each time anyone tackles Vick. This rules so much. I hope he gets lambasted.

It was no surprise to me that the Philly trash had a standing ovation for that fucker. I mean, seriously? guh.

They had a nice winning drive. It was a really good game overall, the last two minutes of the first half were nuts.

I still can't believe Ward coughed up that ball. I felt so bad for anyone that was his blocking assignment on the following drive. He had to hurt a few people.

Could you people start talking about college football sometime soon? That's so much more interesting for me to lurk. Thanks.

Roethlisberger is hella clutch. Polamalu is nuts.
Kenny Britt has been way impressive for Tennessee so far.

Haha, I was watching the game with a few friends here while this whole thing was going down.
Anyway, It's always so weird how the Steelers manage to come through in clutch situations like that. They couldn't move the ball for most of the game and then their passing game looked almost unstoppable after the 2 minute warning in the first half. I was pretty impressed with Kerry Collins tonight, too. Nate Washington is making Justin Gage look like a fantastic receiver.

Only thing I'd be concerned about is your running game. Granted, it was against Tennessee, but they could not run the ball at all tonight. Big Ben was on fire after the first quarter, though. I think he was 30 for 39 or something. Heath Miller, Santonio Holmes and Hines Ward all had a great games.
oh, other concern, Troy Polomalu got hurt and had to leave the game.

Madden Curse, good sir. No one can avoid it.
I kinda want to pompously throw up my picks for sunday. I am so fucking giddy that football starts full swing THIS SUNDAY.
Miami v/ Atlanta Kansas City v/ Baltimore Philly v/ Carolina Denver v/ Cincy Minnesota v/ Cleveland Dallas v/ Tampa Bay NY Jets v/ Houston Jacksonville v/ Indy DETROIT v/ New Orleans San Fran v/ Arizona St. Louis v/ Seattle Chicago v/ Green Bay Washington v/ NY Giants
Buffalo v/ New England San Diego v/ Oakland.
Yep. Revel in how wrong I am come sunday night. Yes, I'm taking Stafford and Detroit to win. And Washington over NY Giants, and Buffalo over the mighty New England. Yes, I might be crazy.

FOOTBAAOOOOW
I actually looked it up on wikipedia, and the system seems really stupid. There are only fifteen teams and you can't move between leagues.
I can't get over those little trousers though. And how when they're in the scrimmage they do appear to have their hand on the other man's actual anus.

They seem designed to show off the bottom. They have a little panel directly in the middle. And Queer As Folk taught me that they're so tight so the other players don't have anything to grab on to, but I don't know. How are they anchored? I don't believe that a pair of lycra leggings can't be dismissed with a quink yank.
And what I mean about the conferences is that you can't get relegated. What if a team turns to shit, what, they get to stay in the top conference? And surely teams in the lower one get less money in sponsership and advertising so they can't afford the good players, which means in turn they make less money.
