NFL Week 8: Steve Young is calling

Which one is the Thanksgiving game?

 

Titans.

 

That'll be the one.

 

We'll always remember.

 

BOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

 

C'mon. I love me some cheez

 

Ain't no mountain high enough, NM.

 

Let's see: The Chiefs are sitting Larry Johnson for Sunday's game. Quarterbacks Brodie Croyle and now Damon Huard are on IR and done for the season. Their punter, Dustin Colquitt, is hurt. And Tyler Thigpen, who never saw a quadruple-cover that he wouldn't try to throw into, is the starting QB.

No wonder Tony Gonzalez wanted out of that fucking disaster. It's time to clean fucking house, from GM Carl Peterson to the whole coaching staff -- and maybe even the equipment manager. Nuke the whole fucking thing and start over.

God damn, this is even worse than the shitty days of the mid- to late 1980s before snaggle-toothed Schottenheimer arrived.

Tyler Fucking Thigpen. Shoot me now.

 

I've got Falcons-Eagles this weekend.
Gonna be fun dealing with the hockey and baseball crowd Saturday and the baseball crowd on the way out Sunday.

 

The suspension was handed down by the Browns, not the NFL.

And if you're the Browns, how can you possibly think your course of action here has been a good idea? Yet another one of your players gets a staph infection - a star player for the second time, no less - and you tell him to be hush-hush about it. You then outright lie to the public, saying it was a mutual decision with Winslow not to reveal what his ailment was, when it was actually just the organization not wanting word to get out that they had yet ANOTHER staph problem. (They didn't even tell the rest of the team what was wrong with Winslow... seriously, what the hell is that?)

So Winslow is recovering from a second staph infection, being told not to say anything and his teammates don't know what's going on. Meanwhile, rumors are circulating like wildfire that he's dealing with everything from swollen testicles to an STD.

Winslow reaches a boiling point, tells the truth in a postgame interview... and the team suspends him for it.

Now, before you even get into the ineptitude of the coaching staff and the lack of on-field success during their entire run since returning in 1999, if you're a free agent and you see how the Browns treated Winslow, why in the blue hell would you ever want to sign with this team?

 

Good point. Besides, the free agent would have to agree to play in Cleveland. That is already enough of a deterrant.
