Re: Football
Give my team to Mitch. It would mainly be on autopilot if I ran it. I'm likely to forget every week. Rarely watch football anymore.
Sorry to hear that loften but some Sundays...I feel like I've wasted the whole day.
I feel like I'm trending your way but I'm not done yet.
Re: Football
I just don't see the appeal anymore. To me it is not the same game of yesteryear. The game is at a different pace, ads up the wazoo, parity, players I care nothing about and couldn't name with a gun to my head, no more iconic coaches, most announcers suck, etc.
Last time I tried watching it I made it about 10 minutes. A 3 yard pass, they replayed it about five times in a row with announcers faking enthusiasm over nothing, then they broke for a Snickers commercial.

You should see how it's changed this season. Allegedly less commercials and breaks for commercials. Pittsburgh's got a real shot at beating NE this year, so I'm going to stay tuned.

Lol no they don't.
They have the best running back and receiver in the league. They're consistently ranked #2, right behind New England. If anyone can beat them, it's Pittsburgh.
Do I think it'll happen or is highly likely, no. But they're a solid bet to expect to win the Super Bowl behind NE.

Re: Football
I think teams like KC or Oakland stand a better chance of topping the Pats. Brady's track record against Pittsburgh in big games (or generally ever, except a road game in 2012 and 2004 from what I remember).
They have a good team, but Ben is already talking retirement and can't stay on the field. Guy has taken a beating over the years.

Yeah, Pitt's D is supposedly vastly improved but they haven't fared well against the Pats in recent years so I don't really see why this year would be any different.
Re: Football
I know it kind sucks making predictions after a game has been played (KC looked good BTW. Pretty funny about the RB who never fumbled in college, fumbled his first snap, then went on to have a monster game). But anyone got any SB Preddictions?
I'm going with Pittsburgh over Atlanta. Yep.
Re: Football
^ Hard to believe. A Smith is alright, he is what he is, and thats a good QB. Like Tony Romo, someone who can get you into the playoffs, 10/11 win seasons. He was a good pickup by Andy. I think Jax might be close to giving up on Bortles, only about 3 years in IIRC.
They showed a wierd stat about fewest 300 yard passing games by some form of reputable Qbs. Alex Smith was like 3rd fewest with only 8 inc last night. That's only like 1 every 2 years almost, not alot at all. Still an ok QB, just no one who's gonna light the stage on fire.
