Should I pass this message along to ESPN?

If the Giants win the Super Bowl, you get a real Philadelphia cheesesteak on me.

Any friendly wagers? Hmmm...? The current line is KC by 3.5 over Pittsburgh. I'll take KC and give 3 points for a twenty spot, payable via PayPal...

Counter proposal. No points. Loser has to start a thread by writing a sincere sounding Ode to the winners ball club.

Elspode · 09-14-2003, 06:16 PM

I accept your proposal, Griff! Start writing!

The Steelers didn't get beaten as badly as the score of 41 to 20 might indicate. But they did get beaten.

elSicomoro · 09-14-2003, 06:27 PM

Eh, I don't think it counts now...you didn't initially accept.

That was a hell of a game, from what I watched. They ran that scoreboard up real nice in the first half.

And let the QB controversy start again in St. Louis--Bulger had a solid game, picking up from last year. I'll have to read the Post-Dispatch and listen to St. Louis radio tomorrow.

Elspode · 09-14-2003, 06:38 PM

Yeah, darn it...I forget to look in on this thread last night. It would have been fun to have a nice little written tribute from Griff to my boys in red.

It wouldn't have been real hard for me to do the same for the Steelers...they're my third favorite team, actually, behind the Chiefs and Green Bay.

Griff · 09-14-2003, 07:06 PM

Thanks fer the lawyerin' T$. I'll give Patrick another shot at it in the AFC championship game. That was a pretty exciting game but my guys really stank it up in the turnover dept. What I like about the new offense is that they can comeback on anybody, what I don't like (so far) is their inability to run the ball but its a new line so we'll see what happens.

Holmes really can kick butt, can't he? For a while there it looked like the Steelers were trying to tire him out by making him run for long yardages.

They'll stuff him next time.

Truluck got a big write up in my alumni newspaper a while back as the first guy in forever to go from Cortland to the NFL. Pretty cool going from Chugger Davis Field to the Show.

Eagles: it appears that McNabb has suddenly lost his ability to be a quarterback at all. It's like he's been replaced with an evil anti-McNabb. Suddenly he can't complete simple 10-yard passes to his open TE. Obvious blitzes confuse him. He overlooks open receivers and relies on his "out" option too often. He finished off his day by throwing the most obvious pick he's ever thrown, something he never ever does.

Nobody's figured him out so far. He's got great moves, and he is really, really quick out of the hole. I keep scratching my head over how anyone let this gem get away in the first place. Chiefs just rewrote his contract to reflect his stature and performance in our backfield. I think it safe to say that Priest Holmes is living comfortably when he's not making d-backs look like they're standing still.

Elspode · 09-28-2003, 06:21 PM

Just felt the need to point out that my Chiefs, after a tough defensive battle with a very scrappy Baltimore Ravens team, are now 4-0.

elSicomoro · 09-28-2003, 06:34 PM

That was luck...the Ravens fucked themselves, particularly with that interception by McCleon.

Bulger had a good game today, Rams win...of course, they were playing Arizona. Good for morale though, given how hated the Cardinals have been since Bidwell took them to the desert 15 years ago.

Griff · 09-28-2003, 07:52 PM

Wow! What a stinker by the Steelers today, almost enough to make me join the sports slangcott but I can't.... not with the evil twins of warchavia coming into NY.

I see the kidnappers returned McNabb today.

Return schmeturn. The majority of their yards and all of their TDs were rushing. McNabb's still tied up in the broom closet, Reid just gave the stand-in new marching orders.

Still. Washington, Philadelphia, and Dallas all won today. I hate this week already, and it's barely Monday.

Luck, schmuck. We won the game on yet another runback for a TD by the hottest kick-returner in the NFL today, and maybe ever, Dante Hall.

Okay, there was some luck involved. It was bad luck on the part of the Ravens. They've got a badass football team, and with another year under their belts together with their rookie QB, they're gonna be awesome. But this year, we won.

So, how about that Rush Limbaugh? I knew his mouth was big, but I didn't think it was big enough to get his foot into it all the way up to his hip!

Whoopsy! I love it when Rush says stupid shit!
