Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

Far be it for me to defend anyone associated, past, present, or future, with the Dallas Cowboys (tom Landry is the exception), but, I always thought Turner was a good OC for them.  It doesn't hurt when you have talent, but, I thought he designed a good scheme and game plan.  He's totally lost me with the Vikes this tear though.  Granted, it's not Aikman, Irvin and Smith, but, Cordarrelle Patterson, Jerick McKinon and Teddy Bridgewater should be growing together and I just don't see it.

I actually don't think Patterson is that good. He seems to be just another version of a receiver drafted because "OHMYGOD, WHAT AN ATHLETE!", but he doesn't have a clue when it comes to things like running pass routes, catching the ball over his shoulder, or knowing how to work himself open. So the only time he gets the ball is when the offense draws up a gimmick play that the clueless oaf is actually capable of doing most of the time. See also : Austin, Tavon.

NC State made Patterson a first-round pick when he torched David Amerson in the opening night game the year after Amerson was a first-team All-American for intercepting 18 passes or something crazy.  NC State took a pretty good defense and revamped the entire scheme, and Amerson was left on an island all night against a guy that had 6 inches on him, and got hosed with no safety help over the top.  Patterson laughed all the way to 200+ yards in that one game and a first-round pick.  Amerson is playing for the Redskins, but like the rest of their roster, doesn't admit it in public if he can help it.

Are we sure that really happened?  I thought I'd somehow accidentally transported to an alternate universe or something when I woke up yesterday evening and saw the score.  :o

WTF was that blocked punt in the Packers game? I have NEVER seen a punt blocked before the ball even gets to the punters foot.

Every year in the off-season, I miss football and look forward to it starting again.

Every year when the season starts, the Texans do something early on to blow it, so I lose interest. (I become a RAGE-oholic when the Texans screw up, and God knows that's all they have done for 10+ years now; I do not need more anger in my life, so I purposefully stop watching to avoid that.)

As I stop watching, my interest wanes, and I end up most of the time forgetting that there's football on television.

The playoffs appear and I go, "Oh, yeah...who cares, those teams are YAAWWWNN..."

The Super Bowl rolls around and I ignore the first six hours of BS press hype coverage. I watch a quarter, tops, and get bored and think, "I could be playing a game," and go do that instead.

Admittedly my football passions were HUGE before I was married and were strong in the first 10 years or so, but that all waned. Not due to her - but due to the fact that all my buddies were in San Antonio and scattered to the four winds soon after I left. I've been in Houston 20+ years and know exactly nobody to hang out with and watch games. That would go a long way to restoring my passions, but without anyone to share that with...I'm pretty meh on football now.

An interesting article...and a surprising one. 


I didn't realize our country had apparently become *that* obsessed with the sport.  Because the following bit still describes my football viewing habits: 

Quote
you paid attention to your team and the teams in your division and maaayyybe the better teams in your conference and a few of the Big Important Games in the other conference, but mostly it was an internal battle between you and your own miserable birthright team
Perhaps I'm in the minority, but my football TV routine is pretty much the same now as it was 15 years ago.  The main difference is who I watch it with (which is usually nobody these days, since my pals moved out of their house earlier this year and scattered to the four winds :( ). 



Don't get me wrong:  I will cheerfully admit to a strong -- and probably irrational -- love of football.  I enjoy watching during the season (even when my Viqueens suck harder than an Amsterdam prostitute), I miss it terribly during the off-season, and I welcome Opening Weekend with far more joy than is probably warranted. 

But even I cannot fathom an obsession with the game to the extent described in the article.  That is simply beyond my comprehension.  ???
