NFL 2016-17 playoffs running thread

Kraft's BAC above or below's Michael Floyd's when he was arrested?

This e-mail just arrived:

STATEMENT BY AN NFL SPOKESPERSON:


Randy Gregory of the Dallas Cowboys has been suspended without pay for at least one year for violating the NFL Policy and Program for Substances of Abuse.


The guy is just a ****ing idiot.

 

[Shropshire Slasher]

Gregory just needs to retire and move to Colorado. He's done for life with his next test anyway.

If the Patriots had drafted Gregory, his **** would be as clear as a Kristallweizen.

(1) No caffeine IV.

(2) Not sure he was rooting for a tie.

******* stole my line. Browns gotta Brown.

As much as I love my home town, one of the good things about moving so often as a kid is that I never talked like a Yinzer.

That patois ... is that really a thing? I guess I've never really heard it.

That patois ... is that really a thing? I guess I've never really heard it.

Back when I covered the NFL many, many moons ago, it seemed like half of the league's coaches, GMs, personnel guys and even the writers were from that part of Pennsylvania. And you knew which ones the minute they opened their mouths.

 

[outofplace]

It's not even all of Western Pa, but some parts of it. I'm sure Zag can go on a nice rant about Yinzers.

 

[Steak Snabler]

Doesn't necessarily belong on the playoff thread, but I thought this was inspired. Name-checks all the Browns QBs since 1999 to "We Didn't Start the Fire."

 

[Riptide]

"You ever been to Houston? I'm trying to get there in February."

 

[Songbird]

That was pretty funny.

"Did you poo poo today?"

 

[Songbird]

Which means they'll win 42-7 just because.

 

[I Should Coco]

Quick prediction: Dallas vs. Kansas City in Super Bowl LI.

Enjoy this weekend's skirmishes between also-rans, everybody!

 

[MileHigh]

I'll revise my S.B. pick and go with Green Bay-Pittsburgh, which means it will be Patriots-Giants. Enjoy the games.
