Death From Above

Hands up if you thought Browns/Vikings would be an early game of the week contender.

The announcers just said the Lions have never won a road game in Washington. Ever.

The Redskins seriously cannot tackle.

I started their stupid running back in place of broken Ray Rice. My fantasy season is as bad as the Browns real one at this point, since I also benched Brady (w/ no weapons) this week for Eli.

Bengals seem thoroughly unimpressed with Green Bay so far.

That hit was why cars come with air bags.

Sam Gagner got his jaw broken last night on a high stick, so Vancouver have accomplished pretty much what they set out to do with that "team" they brought to Edmonton last night.

I watched that Fox Football Daily show once in the last week and I was kind of shocked how openly the ex-players are cracking pot jokes now. They sure seemed pretty gleeful about it.

Had a request to rescue these from the void, so here you go. This is a direct copy/paste of my notes pretty much so nothing fancy to be seen, "hv" stands for high vote if that isn't obvious. There were a couple minor format changes between two of the polls so if some of the extra info seems confusing just ignore it. The rankings are the same as originally posted. 1960's: 1970's: 1980's: 1990's: 2000's: Dirty, but there you go.

Honestly I had one of those feelings when somehow Edmonton escaped that first half only down by 9 when it should have been a hell of a lot more.

I feel dirty. That's so terrible. I almost want to get a console just for this game, as ridiculous a purchase as that would be.

I haven't seen Hearts of Darkness since high school so couldn't vote for it in good faith. Good documentary though. It stood out a ton in the days before DVDs came with a lot of "making of" features. Only comparable thing I've seen might be Dangerous Days: Making Blade Runner for the scope of it, though that lacks, you know, being in the jungle and helicopters and all that good stuff.

Sounds fun, where do I sign up?

Why hasn't there been a sitcom based around the NCAA yet?

Cab missions are always essential when new for learning city layout IMO. Especially around areas with overpasses the maps are never really that clear and any mistakes you make cab driving usually come in handy later. Plus they are a good way to get a little cash at the start of games too.

Reading people try and review the song is fabulous, as it's basically a bunch of 20-somethings giving away that they have no idea what the internet is for or how to use it, and that they're completely oblivious that they've become their parents.

This exists. I don't know what that means.

God bless my foreign friends who randomly reference things like this from their past:

Yeah Cruz is one of my favourite WR in football right now. Doesn't make a ton of catches because he's always out wide but seems good for a TD almost every game that I watch. He's one of those guys that if he has 7 or 8 catches, you've probably given up enough that you've lost.

The Cowboys could honestly win the division this year. And it's not like they've done anything to suggest they are actually improving, really.

This was like pure Alex Smith football. Pretty? No. Should have scored more? Yes. Turned the ball over? No. Efficiently ate the clock when needed? Yes. He's really become this interesting figure to me in what a strange career he's had and because he doesn't play an aesthetically pleasing game no one ever wants to give him any credit for anything. Not a pretty win but pretty amazing Chiefs won 2 games last year and are already 3-0.

She ain't worth it. 100%.

That play never gets old. Just wish the Giants had scored on it.

This is the most interesting Thursday night game in ages to me. Hopefully this one delivers.
