NFL 2012

[HaemishM]

They also need an offensive line and a QB. 

Also, Cleveland 

Of course they hired Norv. If you're going to fail anyway, you might as well fail as spectacularly as possible. They should have just grabbed Mike Martz.

[Sjofn]

It was all rumored and I never checked to see if it panned out. So the hints were there and I thought I'd make a funny reference to them. Egg, meet face.

That said, Norv is not a bad OC at all, just not a HC. This might actually work out well. (Leave me alone, I am a Browns fan - let me have my fantasies.)

edit to add:
Oh and I just noticed this gem of a website: http://factoryofsadness.co/

Yeah, the fact he was hired for the job he's actually decent at instead of the one he's ... not is a good sign. Goodish. Good-esque. I sincerely hope it works out for them, though, the Browns are one of those teams I always halfway felt warmly towards for absolutely no good reason (also in this category: the Cardinals).

[Tannhauser]

Norv went to the Browns?  BWHAHAHAHHA!

What's his official title: "Head Foreman of the Factory of Sadness"?

"Source" is reporting that the Colts will hire Stanford OC Pep Hamilton to replace Bruce Arians.

[Malakili]

Falcons off to an impressive start.

[Paelos]

Falcons off to an impressive start.

Yep their problem is usually finishing. We'll see how that goes.

[ghost]

Not well, apparently.

[Malakili]

Going to be another tight one.

[Ingmar]

They better not call that a catch.

EDIT: That's some serious bullshit right there.

[Paelos]

Doesn't matter. Two bad calls evened out.

The catch stood up when it wasn't. The drive stayed alive on a bullshit flag that grazed a facemask. In the end, the Niners played better to the finish.

[Trippy]

[Tannhauser]

Way to blow a 17-0 lead Failcons.  What a shitty year for my teams.  I think I'll start rooting for the Niners and Pats, that's sure to curse them.

[Malakili]

Weird last play.

[Paelos]

Ryan's shoulder was toast. He couldn't heave it.

[Ingmar]

Yeah, was the non throwing arm, but even that messes up your whole motion - it looked pretty bad the way he was holding it, maybe a separation?

[Trippy]

Yeah you could see it when he threw the last pass, he kept his left arm tucked into his body when he threw it and he couldn't put his body into it cause he was unbalanced.

[Nebu]

Yeah, was the non throwing arm, but even that messes up your whole motion - it looked pretty bad the way he was holding it, maybe a separation?

I would bet a separation.  He struggled to throw downfield that last play.  

[Paelos]

Anybody else think that Bad Flacco shows up and the Pats win by 30?

[Ingmar]

Harbaugh's reaction to that replay call:

[Trippy]

Anybody else notice that Terry Bradshaw's right hand trembles when he's holding a microphone?

[HaemishM]

Falcons tried so hard to lose that game... and did.

Seriously, what is wrong with this team that they can't play 4 quarters of football?

My interest in the Super Bowl may actually be at an all time low.

[Paelos]

If Baltimore pulls off a stunner because the Patriots can't get out of their own way to score, I will probably be watching the puppy bowl.

EDIT: Also what in the hell is wrong with the Pats offense? This game should be over 3 times by now.

[Paelos]

Harbaugh bowl.

This may be the first time I have no interest ever.

[Abagadro]

Nice Harbuagh v. Douche Harbaugh.

[Malakili]

Not particularly interested in this super bowl, but I actually think it will be a good game.

Storylines:

1) Har-bowl.

2) Ray Lewis



Yeah, I'm already out.  

[HaemishM]

Yep, Ravens just intercepted Brady in the end zone. The Har-Bowl it is.

Having New England not be in the Super Bowl only raises my interest slightly. About the only story worth giving a shit about is Kaepernick. And which Harbaugh is the Nice one? I thought they were both douches?

[Trippy]

John is the "nice" one. Jim is the "excitable" one

[Surlyboi]

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Go back to your box on the streetcorner, Bellichik, you fucking hobo. And seriously, the Patriots get completely blanked in the second half and the commentators are still blowing smoke up Brady's ass. What the fuck?

That said, now I'm torn. My adopted Bay Area vs any team that beats the Patriots.

[Paelos]

This could easily happen again if the Falcons make the NFC Championship. The problem with Atlanta is that if you're out after 2AM, and you are at any club, you have already made a very bad life decision. Knowing what we know about this city, that doesn't end well. Second, if you see a fight outside a club, run the fuck away. It's almost a given that after any huge event in this city, someone will end up dead by club violence.

Didn't even get to the clubs this time. I hate this city when they host things:

[Surlyboi]

Oh Jesus Christ, the comments.

[ghost]

I wonder if there's another Harbough brother out there for someone to hire.  Those guys clearly have it going on right now. 

[JWIV]

YES

There may or may not have just been an impromptu parade outside my house.  God I love living in the city sometimes.

[Ginaz]

Get ready for 2 weeks of nothing but feel good stories about the Harbough brothers and Ray Lewis.

[Trippy]

There's a sister, Joani, but she's not involved with football. Her husband, though, is the head coach of the Indiana men's basketball team.
