Death From Above

I can understand a spanking going too far. I'm not saying I in any way condone it, but at least I can process how this happens, you know what I mean? I do not understand headbutting your wife and busting her up for not being in the mood. Sorry but that is just completely messed up and over any conceivable line to me. One of these was a very bad choice for which there will be consequences, the other was the kind of thing where we should probably be talking about the stigma around mental health issues.

Oh the Monday night game is missing from the original post but for reference it is Chicago vs. NY Jets.

Thursday, September 18 Tampa Bay at Atlanta Sunday, September 21 San Diego at Buffalo Tennessee at Cincinnati Baltimore at Cleveland Green Bay at Detroit Indianapolis at Jacksonville Oakland at New England Minnesota at New Orleans Houston at NY Giants Washington at Philadelphia Dallas at St. Louis San Francisco at Arizona Kansas City at Miami Denver at Seattle Pittsburgh at Carolina Monday, September 22 Chicago at NY Jets Tiebreaker #1: Team to score most points during week 3 Philadelphia Tiebreaker #2: More receiving yards: Antonio Gate or Sammy Watkins Watkins Tiebreaker #3: Russell Wilson combined yards (pass + rush + receiving) vs Denver 280

He doesn't have enough midichlorians in his blood to do that trick. Don't worry.

The Oilers have hired former Olympic figure skating medalist David Pelletier as a skating coach. This has really been an off-the-board summer at the club between that and the Dellow hiring.

Bayern/Man CIty hasn't quite been all I hoped, but it was almost worth it for Boateng's late burst of energy. It's also amazing seeing how many of Bayern's guys can just swap positions mid-game without missing a beat. I'm sure not beating Bayern will lead to another "what's wrong with City" article for me to ignore.

In this thread people will make LOUD NOISES on the internet. I'm out.

I think the Eagles win that division without too much trouble this year but they are a funny team. In that, I think if they don't have a top 5 offense in the league I don't see them having much hope, because they are going to give up a whole bunch of points. 30-27 over Indy is probably not that far off a template score for them.

"We'll pay you $400 000 and all you have to do is show up to practice.*" "Sounds like a great deal, where do I sign?" "Right here, son." *Terms and conditions may apply,

First half shots: Dortmund 15, Arsenal 1. A fairly accurate reflection of how that went, actually.

I think it was really interesting seeing the NFL media this week, how many of them have turned on Griffin and were running with the "Cousins is the better style for this offense anyway" angle. Seems like a bit of a hivemind thing.

Referee in Dortmund/Arsenal had the stones to (correctly, by the look of it) book a player for diving inside the first 6 minutes so I like this guy already.

It seems to be Mosconi Cup (USA vs. Europe 9-ball pool) season again on TSN. I don't follow pool at all otherwise, but this is the third or fourth year I'll be following that. Earl Strickland is wearing a random giant arm brace that is screaming for a wrestling angle, which seems about right for him.

Also who pays $3 per chicken wing? Fuck Hard Rock.

I like Amir Khan fine but I have no idea why anyone would want to see him fight Mayweather. It seems like a forgone conclusion how that goes to me. Floyd really is a guy out of interesting opponents since he won't ever fight you-know-who.

No Kettle Cooked Jalapeno Cheddar No Peace

Come on it's been obvious from the minute a mic got in front of him that it's destiny WInston will end up with the Raiders, surely.

Imagine how fast Darren Sproles would be if he had an adult man's legs.

This piece on Ben Utecht and the gaps in his memory is something else. Worth seeking out if you missed it.

I've had two friends tell me that FIFA 15's demo was better than the full version of NHL 15. And these are hockey nuts. No season mode is hilarious, bizarre, and pretty much indefensible.

Fuck the Bear Cutler jabroni forever.

That was some fucking catch. Honestly as the ball's in the air I thought Cutler had just chucked it away entirely and then bam, Inspector Gadget arms.

This seems a good time for me to ask. Is there some reason the play clock can't be wired to a buzzer a la the NBA shot clock? It seems, like, too simple a solution.

Packers win, Vikings get anihilated, Lions are the Lions, and Bears lose. It's a good week.

I had Charles but I also had Gates so it really, really doesn't matter at least this week.
