Technico Support Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 I don't know who is more inconsolable: Me after the Steelers loss to the Saints or Rippa after the Giant's loss to the Jaguars. Probably me since this loss will probably kill our postseason hopes and the rest of the schedule does not look friendly. Man, I had to watch my team (The Ravens, I know, I know) lose by one point, too. And I knew it was coming. At some point in the game, the announcers touted this stat: "San Diego is 7/7 on 3rd down conversions." It was obvious to anyone that the vaunted (and overrated) Baltimore defense was shitting the bed all day, would have been blown out without two very lucky turnovers, and was going to lose the game for us. Even up by 10 with 5 minutes left, I knew it was over. I'd rather be blown out, turn this shit off at halftime and enjoy the rest of my day than stick with it for almost 4 hours and just be pissed all night. The NFL, man. And now Cincinatti will probably win the division because of a tie.
Lamp, broken circa 1988 Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 at least you didn't sit at the business end of 4th and 29
Craig H Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 I want Watt and GRONK to retire from football, form a wrestling tag team, and just fuck everyone up. Gronk can be the one with the sense of humor while Watt is the pure shit kicker with a heart of gold that does tons of Make a Wish stuff.
Technico Support Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 Watt is a mook who speaks in dumb footbaw cliches and I refuse to believe he wasn't actually created in a lab by Gregg Easterbrook types who wanted a great white hope to save the sport from "thugs" and "glory boys."
Burgundy LaRue Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 In other words, he's perfect for the Texas football scene! 1
Greggulator Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 I am not much of a football fan anymore. However, I am a huge fan of FOOTBALLZ, which is a podcast done by two of my best friends where the essentially do a MST3K rendition of the Monday Night game. I'm siting in with them in the studio tonight and would love it if you would listen!
Hail Sabin Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 Crap now I want to see Gronk and Watt face the Young Bucks or more likely Los Matadores I bet Watt could launch El Torito into like the 10th row.
Kevin Wilson Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 I feel the need to point out also that the Bills have now gotten past the "Vegas" over/under for how many wins they'd get this season. Suck it, Vegas. 1
dogwelder Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 So, really, how serious are Watt's MVP chances since he's basically been inhuman this year? Or does he get boned because of the 'he's playing for a team that won't make the playoffs' stigma?

Or does he get boned because of the 'he's playing for a team that won't make the playoffs' stigma? Watt has defensive MVP locked up right now but as for the NFL MVP it's Rodgers #1 and Brady #2. Watt will get some votes but will probably only finish in the Top 5 maybe.

Kevin Wilson Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 Watt's only chance would be if the Texans ended up 16-0 and was located in New York (or another heavy media market). And he set the sack record. I think that is what it would take for a defensive player to be considered for MVP.
BobbyWhioux Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 Silly rabbit, MVP Awards are for QBs [there is a much less prestigious "Defensive Player Of The Year" award that Watt can/will probably win]
BobbyWhioux Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 So far the best part of this game is U2 deliberately picking the two most Springsteen-compatible U2 songs for Springsteen to substitute-sing for the injured Bono at that Times Square AIDS Awareness concert. I'm okay with Springsteen replacing Bono more often if it means they'll stick to Joshua Tree cuts/their other old stuff in concert
Vincey Greene Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 Holy fuck, Chris Johnson just looked like CJ2K.
Lawful Metal Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 Watt is a mook who speaks in dumb footbaw cliches and I refuse to believe he wasn't actually created in a lab by Gregg Easterbrook types who wanted a great white hope to save the sport from "thugs" and "glory boys." So he's John Cena? I think he's novel enough to get a shot, but basically the Texans have to win out and get that last wildcard spot somehow for him to get MVP. Rodgers and Brady are awesome and all, but they've already won. Why not do something different, especially when you've got this Grade A White Meat Babyface right here? Besides, no other defensive lineman has ever scored 5 touchdowns since the 40s. And they played two-way back then! 1
Dolfan in NYC Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 Oh thank God. The game came down to Geno Smith's arm.
Josh Mann Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 Oh thank God. The game came down to Geno Smith's arm. That game gave my father a stroke and he's been dead for four years. 1

Watt will get some votes but will probably only finish in the Top 5 maybe.Pet Peeve alert: There is no such thing as Defensive MVP. There's the defensive player of the year (and the offensive player of the year at the same level) and then the MVP above that. Calling it Defensive MVP just excuses never giving it to a defensive player.

I'm okay with Springsteen replacing Bono more often if it means they'll stick to Joshua Tree cuts/their other old stuff in concert I'd never really thought about Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For as a Springsteen song before but it was actually pretty cool and a very good fit for him when you hear it. The game was, well, a game.
