The Chargers really are spectacularly creative in the ways they blow games in the fourth quarter.

I know they are controlling this game right now but how is this packers offense sustainable? Rodgers just hops/runs around for 5 seconds until someone maybe gets open. He then hits them on the run with a wrist flick. its like watching a bunch of twelve year olds at recess.

Eli Manning is Blake Bortles with a much better surrounding cast. He doesn't hit a single pass that isn't perfectly set up. How the fuck did this guy win 2 SB?????????????

Someday during a game, the earth will open and Satan will collect Eli's soul. That is how I explain it.

On the news tonight here in Denver a local sportscaster literally opened his Patriots highlight package with the following:

"Today, Tom Brady returned from that insanely stupid suspension he was forced to serve..."

When sports figures in DENVER are saying that I think it's safe to say that most of the (fairly intelligent) sports fans around the country even know the NFL pulled a complete an utter bullahit move.

Rodgers and his 3.3 sec release is in for a rude awakening when they play a good team.

Derek Anderson just made the worst throw I've ever seen. Forces a ball on first down for an INT from the 1 yard line. Holy shit.

just got back from Red Sox, and I see the Panthers actually lost this game.

Unbelievable frauds. we would have taken them to town even with our shitty OL if we had survived Denver last year.

Whole league has like five good teams that appear to be playing a different sport than what the rest of the league offers on most days.
The salary cap was supposed to bring parity but it has had the opposite effect because if you're incompetent as a coach or a GM, there is no way to buy yourself out of the mess. Mistakes are catastrophic.

Frauds? They were starting Derek F'n Anderson at QB and jettisoned their lockdown CB in the offseason. Last night's team wasn't at all the same team that lost to DEN.

Yup - the real problem is that there aren't any real financial consequences to being terrible - shitty teams with shitty owners still make tons of money, so they don't get replaced.
