“WHO DAT SAY THEY GONNA SHOOT THAT TV? WHO DAT?!”
Watching football with my roommate is pretty entertaining
Him: Oh is that... what's that one dude's name? Vince something...
Me: (not really paying attention) Vince McMahon?
Him: No
Me: Vince Carter
Him: No the black quarterback... he got killed last year I think
Me: Steve McNair?
Him: Yeah, Vince McNair, is that him?
Me: No, that's Vince Young. Steve McNair is dead.

The Shins - Fighting in a Sack
So I decided to throw together lyrics for one of my NFL song parody ideas. So to help encourage the Jaguars’ defense, which currently has an abysmal 5 sacks on the season, here’s “Fighting for a Sack”:
Just last week I woke from some unconscionable game
And was pancaked to my back once again
To keep this team afloat
There are ends we can’t afford to keep
Oh I miss Marcus Stroud so much
But you’ll find those lingering tackles
Are just your GM’s attempt to make it all cheap and nice
And make a moron out of you
Walking a bridge with weakening cables
Huddled up in fear and hate because we know our fate
And it’s a lot to put us through.
Most linemen turn to dust
As there are few in which we all can trust
Haven’t you noticed they’ve been shedding tackles left and right?
So let’s abandon that track
And leave our linemen fighting for a sack
Cause we are way too inexperienced for that.
You might find some rookies on our depth chart
Learning the latest changes to the book
Of our plays in an attempt to penetrate
Marionettes on weakening cables
Huddled up with fear and hate
Because they know their fate and it’s a lot to put them through.
We’ve taken on a climb
And it’s long enough to put the best of us on our backs
Walking up a slide
And there are those we know who’d have us five games off the lead.
But you’ll find those lingering tackles
Are just your GM’s attempt to make it all cheap and nice
And make a moron out of you
Crossing the brindge on weakening cables
Huddled up with fear and hate because we know our fate
And it’s a lot to put us through

Rage Against The Machine - Kick Out the Jams (MC5)
Parody song idea: A song by Seahawks fans about the need to cut their mediocre backup runningback, entitled “Kick Out the (Edgerrin) James”
Apparently Lovie Smith said "We don't start really playing football until November and December"
They sure as hell aren’t gonna be playing in January and February.
This is the only way to watch NFL. I’m not sure how I still have this channel, but I really don’t know how I ever watched the NFL on anything else.
Shonn Greene went off today. To be fair, it was against the Raiders, but 144 yards and 2 TDs is 144 yards and 2 TDs.
Did anybody else see that?
After the game was over, a ref tossed a ball and it hit Shawne Merriman right in the head. He looked like he was about to go Tila Tequila on his ass.
ESPN just did a puff piece on Brandon Marshall...
And they had a little Newlywed Game-style thing to see who knew him better: his fiancee or Elvis Dumervil.
Of course, his fiancee won and Brandon commented, “I’m glad she won, because now I don’t have to beat her postpone the wedding.”
Realization
“Resign” (as in “I resigned from my position”) and “resign” (as in “I resigned with the Patriots”) are two completely different, pretty much opposite, things that Junior Seau does a lot.
It's official.
The Broncos are good football team. Heck, they may even be a great football team. I might even go so far as to say that Kyle Orton is a good quarterback. Not just a good “game manager,” a real good quarterback. He just didn’t have any receivers in Chicago, and even then he still won games.
