    Underachieved how? How many coaches go to multiple Super Bowls? Yall act like that sort of thing is common. 

    Why McCarthy is deemed terrible and Payton is a genius? They are the same coach in almost every metric. If McCarthy wasted Rodgers, then Payton absolutely wasted Brees.

    Because Payton adapts his approach to the situation he has and every other NFL coach not named Payton, Belicheck, or Reid doesn’t

    That's bad ass. I got to meet Derrick Brooks, and he was an absolute gentleman. Saw Warren Sapp, but didn't meet him, and didn't want to. People always said he was an asshole, so I said nah, I'm good. 

    If there’s ever a combo Hall Of Fame for dudes that have HOF credentials solely as a football player but also for being a human being, Derrick Brooks will be in the inaugural class....

    I got a reservation at the Hampton Inn and Suites in downtown Baton Rouge. Through Hilton Honors they can be cancelled up to 4 days ahead. I might also look at L’Auberge in Lafayette. I haven’t been there since I went with the ex.

    Same here; was only 40K points per night which is insanely cheap given how much rooms are going for in BR for this weekend...

    In the comeback, Don Beebe ran out of bounds under his own power and then came back in to catch a TD pass. Refs missed the call.  Oilers didn't complain, because at the time, it didn't seem like it would matter. Nobody even talked about it after the game, but the officials were complete shit when they though the game was out of reach. 

    In short, the Bills can go fuck themselves and ask the league for a worthless league apology that all pro leagues are fond of giving Houston after we get screwed. 

    Fucking Don Beebe took three full strides out of bounds before coming back in.  Fuck the goddam Bills.  My regular haunt here in Brooklyn is a big Bills hangout; had a great time running smack on those fuckers last night, bout to head back for another round....

    Don’t get too excited. He’ll tweak the hammy or groin on the first play of the game.

    Quite possible.

    Stat of the game - once we went down 16-0, DeShaun was 13/14 for 193 and a TD, plus 41 yards rushing and a TD.  Fucking gamer....

    At this time 14 years ago I was wandering around the rose bowl grounds with $2400 on my hip trying to score 2 tickets. I failed, but had a backup plan at a party with all USC fans. Bittersweet day.

    I’ve attended literally hundreds of sporting events; this was the only one I can remember where there was virtually no secondary market.  We tailgated at the edge of a rose bowl parking lot next to some dude wearing a sandwich board reading “I will pay $1,500 for a ticket”.  He had no takers.....

  7. Unfortunately, it's the talent level as much as it is the coaching.  Our WR corps outside of Hopkins is weak.  We have nobody capable of rushing the passer.  Our secondary is average on a healthy good day.

    Hope I'm proven wrong, but I have zero confidence the Texans are going to come back and win this game.  It's going to require DeShaun to make some Superman plays and that ain't gonna happen unless (a) he can stop running for his life and (b) some motherfuckers can actually get open...

    Not at all. It's one of the few unique stadiums left in the country, and one of the few that actually has character and soul. The sightlines are great, it's generally easy and well run, and the food and drink are solid. Top 5 in the country, if not top 1.

    You can have your glass and stainless focus-grouped KB-Homes built atrocities. Give me Lambeau, the Superdome, and Fenway all day.

    Have you ever been to Lambeau?  Stand up for a big third down and see how many grey hairs scream at you to sit the fuck down while telling you how many years they’ve been going to games.

    Lambeau makes the lower west side of DKR look like Azteca....

    Was at the game last night with my family.  No way it was 60% full, it was much more than that.  Crowd was loud but not the typical Texas crowd that goes to games at DKR.  Many people, at least in my shitty section, didn't stand or know the words for the Eyes, didn't know Texas Fight, and didn't look like they'd ever set foot on the 40 acres.  But they were there and making noise.  

    The Alamodome is a fucking joke.  After going to the Superdome in January and Jerry World in December last year, I was shocked at how low-class the Alamodome was.  Restrooms, concessions, the overall dingy atmosphere in the concourse, absolutely pathetic.  Like comparing the Four Seasons to a Motel 6.

    The Superdome is a shithole too, it’s only because it’s full of hammered drunks making noise that you overlook it...

    Orlando sucks as a city.

    The pedo priest at my high school? Father Orlando.

    Tony Orlando and Dawn were terrible.

    There is a town in Oklahoma called Orlando.  

    And fuck Todd Orlando, too.

    And that pimpin’ ass Orlando from the club got what was comin’ to him in Baltimore....

    I didn't expect that so many fellow Surly football boarders to join me in shaking a fist at the NFL and being happily rid of what was once a pretty powerful addiction.

    On a sports bulletin board less secure in its masculinity (Texags, to use an extreme example), you might expect outrage at someone not heading down to the man cave (odious term; overcompensating inclination?) to watch games all day Sunday. Not here. You either watch 'em or you don't.

    It is nice spending Sundays with the beloved or just dicking around on my own. 

    You sound like a pussy...

  12. Was a place called Hyde’s on 5th street back in the 80s that was a big drug/dance/fuck place.  A doorman there would sell what he called an MX Missle - a hit of X and probably 1/1.5 grams of shrooms.  Had some great times with Jewish party chicks from my dorm (Dobie)...
