pam Posted August 20, 2009 Author Report Posted August 20, 2009 I actually like Madden as a commentator. I was disappointed when he announced his retirement. Quote
Jbs2763 Posted August 20, 2009 Report Posted August 20, 2009 Really? I thought you understood the finer points of football...not needing quips like "If they wanna win, they are gonna halfta score!" Quote
pam Posted August 20, 2009 Author Report Posted August 20, 2009 Simple minds ya know? And hey...that makes sense to me. Quote
Jbs2763 Posted August 20, 2009 Report Posted August 20, 2009 I personally like listening to the local color commentator on the Colts games on radio...you only have to listen for a few seconds to know how the game is going. Bob Lamey is either estatic or suicidal sounding....makes for great entertianment... Quote

Captain_Curmudgeon Posted August 23, 2009 Report Posted August 23, 2009 Every year lately, the owners propose to cut two preseason games and make the regular season 18 games. Every year, they back out. I've got a compromise. Make the preseason three games and you can make the regular season 18 games just by eliminating that stupid dead week before the Super Bowl. But the game Friday was so boring that I was watching a highschool game on SLC channel 14 and it was a blowout. Quote
Captain_Curmudgeon Posted August 28, 2009 Report Posted August 28, 2009 Another yawner last night and one scheduled tonight and one tomorrow. Is Alex Smith done? Done with the 49ers? As soon as Hill was named starting QB, he went out with a bad back, so I don't see the Niners trading or cutting Smith just yet. Insurance. But even if Hill goes down and Smith starts, I don't see him doing himself much good at SF. If I were he, I'd be looking for a trade to a team that wants to throw the ball. SF is going to be ball-control (old Bears) under Singletary. Josh Freeman, the first-round pick for the Bucs has a long way to go to make starting QB, but at 6-foot 6 and 250 pounds, he's a threat. Busted play last night and he went right through the line for six yards. This is one QB you don't try to arm tackle. With Favre, the 4 -12 Jets went 9 - 7 but missed the playoffs. Favre's coming sent Pennington to the 1 - 15 Fins, and they went 11 - 5 to win the division. So, who was the winner there? Now Favre is with the 10 - 6 Vikes who won the division. I'll bet that with Favre, they don't win it this year. Although, the sooner they bench him, the better chance they have. I look for the Bears (and hope for the Packers). Quote
pam Posted September 3, 2009 Author Report Posted September 3, 2009 Okay everyone..Regular season is getting REALLY close...Anyone else want to join us? Going once...going twice.... Quote
pam Posted September 8, 2009 Author Report Posted September 8, 2009 Don't forget for those that joined us..you need to make your pick for Thursdays game NLT than Thursday at 6:30 p.m. Quote
pam Posted September 13, 2009 Author Report Posted September 13, 2009 All I can say today is GO BENGALS!!! Of course they are playing the donkeys so as usual I cheer for any team that is playing against them. Quote
Guest Godless Posted September 13, 2009 Report Posted September 13, 2009 I'm at a mall outside Baltimore right now waiting for a friend to get off work. Everyone and their mom (literally) is wearing Ravens gear. After spending two weeks in Steeler Country, I'm finally home!!!!!!!GO RAVENS!!!!! Quote
pam Posted September 13, 2009 Author Report Posted September 13, 2009 So what say you Capn? What upset will we see today? You've always been pretty good calling them. Quote
Captain_Curmudgeon Posted September 13, 2009 Report Posted September 13, 2009 (edited) So what say you Capn? What upset will we see today?I just finished posting on the other site that the picks all seem obvious this week. Just go with the favs. That said, I'm worried about Green Bay. They're 4 to 4.5 favs over Chicago and playing at home, but Da Bears start this year without their usual QB controversy, Cutler has something to prove (although he wasn't that good in the pre-season and hasn't been part of the long rivalry between Da Bears and GB ), and the Packers are paying far too much attention to what's happening in Minnesota this year.Still, I did pick the Packers and I will be cheering for them, but maybe if I didn't have that share of GB stock, I might pick Da Bears.(Home Dogs are worthy of attention but not Cleveland nor Oakland. Eagles may have some trouble against Carolina.) Edited September 13, 2009 by Captain_Curmudgeon accidental smiley Quote
Dr T Posted September 13, 2009 Report Posted September 13, 2009 Yeah, I picked GB over Da Bears. Quote
Guest Godless Posted September 13, 2009 Report Posted September 13, 2009 I picked Green Bay as well. I also picked Indy as my Survivor team. That game's making me pretty nervous. Ravens are looking' good though! Quote
beefche Posted September 13, 2009 Report Posted September 13, 2009 I don't remember what I picked. Other than choosing Colts to win, I just looked at last year's records or picked home teams. I couldn't even tell you who I picked for my Survivor team... Quote
pam Posted September 13, 2009 Author Report Posted September 13, 2009 GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrr unbelievable play for Denver..but still...GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRrr Quote
Guest Godless Posted September 13, 2009 Report Posted September 13, 2009 I'm 7-2 so far today (7-3 if you count Thursday's game). I'm really kicking myself for picking Carolina to beat Philly. Oh well. Colts and Ravens won, so I really have nothing to complain about!!! Quote
beefche Posted September 13, 2009 Report Posted September 13, 2009 Not to brag or anything, but look who's leading our little challenge.... Quote
Jbs2763 Posted September 13, 2009 Report Posted September 13, 2009 not sure why i picked carolina over philly, and dallas to lose, other than i have a great dislike for the cowgirls, need to not pick with my heart.. even tho the Colts did win...ugly but its still a W Quote
pam Posted September 13, 2009 Author Report Posted September 13, 2009 Not to brag or anything, but look who's leading our little challenge.... Hush it Miss KnowNuttin Quote
Guest Godless Posted September 13, 2009 Report Posted September 13, 2009 Grr, the 4:15 games aren't looking good for me. C'mon Rams and Cards!!!! Quote
pam Posted September 13, 2009 Author Report Posted September 13, 2009 Oh I must go take a look. I think I picked pretty much the same games as you. Quote
pam Posted September 13, 2009 Author Report Posted September 13, 2009 I picked the Cards, Seattle and the Giants. Right now 2 of 3 doing okay. Quote
Dr T Posted September 14, 2009 Report Posted September 14, 2009 What happened to the "Groups" for the football pix on this site Pammy? I don't see it in there anymore. Quote
