Still not sure why Jacksonville has a football team and L.A. does not.

My guess is that there's a whole lot of "chicken" that goes on in those back rooms, and sometimes somebody has to follow through on their threat in order to maintain credibility.

Oh look out Lennon here I come - land ahoy-hoy-hoy

Why would the NFL want a team in LA when they could have a team in London?

Many years ago we were tearing down an old shed out at my in-laws' farm, and we had a trailer alongside to hold all of the junk as we tore it down. My mother-in-law's cat was out there with us, and she was just laying underneath the trailer next to one of the tires. As we ripped up some part of the floor a little mouse ran out and sprinted for the first cover it saw, which of course was the trailer. The cat just laid there and opened her mouth, and the mouse ran right to her; it was one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

Anyway, I was reminded of that as I watched Gabbert spin out of the pocket and into Reed's arms at the goal line.

Doesn't seem to be as much posting here when the frequency of dick-stepping is low.
"(512) ybbodeus looks just as creepy in HD as in person."   That is a problem, and we are working on it.

I didn't get to see the game.  I was at the ranch, all ready to watch the game, and low and behold, the local channels on DirecTV were out.  And before you all get all worked up, my dish was installed by some yahoo holding it up over his head, spinning around in the field yelling at his wife through the window; "Anything?"

Of course I have Sunday Ticket, so I watched the Bucs/Giants and Cardinals/Pats games, and thought I was DVRing the game at home so I could watch it later that night.  But noooooo...the wife has to be recording whatever shit re-run she watches on Sunday morning.

So don't get me started.
The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

Not sure what that is.  But the Texans games are blacked out on Sunday Ticket.

I was at a mate's house just after Ike had passed - he had power...and a pool.  We got fucked up on beer and tequila, and he decided to climb up onto the roof to realign his dish that had been moved off kilter by the storm.  His plan was to look at where the other dishes were pointing, and adjust his accordingly.  Ignoring the many, many flaws in this fucked up plan, he was up and down that ladder onto the roof of his two storey suburban home like a pasty drunk monkey.  Of course, it didn't work.

The next day, with MNF looming and no sign of the dish people getting out there, he decided to try again.  This time, though, he was stone cold sober.  He got up there, but could not get down.  He told his wife that she's either going to have to call the fire department, or send up a bottle of tequila.

Anybody else who watched this game seriously impressed by the Jags rookie punter? fitting that the jaguars' best player would be a punter. he might end up being the best all-time before his career is over

Who's the best all-time now? Ray Guy? That guy who played for the Dolphins whose name I forget?

Reggie Roby is who you are thinking of (I think).  For all time best I would go with Shane Lechler

He better be - they spent a 3rd round pick on him.

Guy is the all-time best, Lechler is challenging and may take the throne.
I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing AstroTurf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, torture of Bud Selig.

I would say the Raiders had a pretty good draft that year...they shored up the kicking game for a decade!  As for Guy, the two are a toss-up at this point, assuming Lechler plays a few more years and his performance does not fall off a cliff, he will eventually go down as the all-time best.  Also was funny watching Madden call Raider's games...every single punt..."you know Lechler was a backup QB in college, they better be watching for the fake here!"

Not sure what that is.  But the Texans games are blacked out on Sunday Ticket.

The Sunday Ticket Max has 'Short Cuts' where they condense the game into 30 minutes. Texans Short Cut is next on channel 704 at 4p. Replays throughout the week.

Still not sure why Jacksonville has a football team and L.A. does not.

I think it had something to do with a removal of a scoreboard...
