Week 2 NFL Running Thread: Flutie 24, Cowboys 10

The greatest football name, ever.

And Larry Csonka can kiss my ass.

 

Bronko ran a gas station up in International Falls for years.

As a lad I was once in the same hockey arena as Mr. Nagurski.

 

There's a pretty good book on Bronko by Jim Dent, titled "Monster of the Midway" For all his toughness on the field, Bronko was actually a pretty quiet, humble man who spent a lot of his time in the offseason hunting and fishing in the woods in minus-50 degree weather.

And he was also a two-time NWA world heavyweight champion.

 

Philly giving 3
Green Bay giving....well, whatever the number is now.

 

Scene outside my condo after work today: 6-year-old neighbors doing cheerleading routines for the Steelers.

Me: "This is a Cleveland Browns house."

6-year old girl: "The Steelers have six rings!"

Me: ....

(Let me tell you something: There are worse things than getting owned by a 6-year-old girl on a sports debate, but it's a pretty short bleeping list.)

 

You could've come back with, 'At least our QB doesn't take advantage of drunk girls.'

 

Well, he was raised in Ohio.

 

I hate Roethlisraper, the Steelers and most of all OOP , but oh man, did OOP ever crush that one.

 

Minor fantasy rant:

Dr. J and I went on vacation this week when it was announced that Ryan Grant was out for the year. I had Ryan Grant. I discoved that our hotel was the only one in America that didn't have wireless. I could drop Grant on my phone, but I couldn't pick up Brandon Jackson.

Ah, technology.

Oh, and the Bills won't score more than 50 points this season.

 

If he doesn't get hurt, Spiller will have a couple good games. I bet the Bills reach triple digits sometime in December.

 

But will they win a game?

They've got some winnable non-division games so they should eke out a win or two. But man the Bills look horrendous.

Steelers will try to stop Chris Johnson without nose tackle Casey Hampton, who has a bad hamstring. Thinking this will not go well.
