Running NFL Week XVI thread

[Oz]

I've had my head focused on knocking out tomorrow's pages, so pardon me for asking but ... who is Cleo Lemon? And what is he doing in this game?

 

[sportschick]

I've heard he once over threw his receiver so badly in college that he hit the warning track not once, but twice.

 

[Chuck~Taylor]

Cleo Lemon.


What a great name.

 

[shotglass]

With apologies to my buddies to the north, I always said that nobody would stun me as a starting NFL quarterback after Spurgeon Wynn.

Then again, Cleo Lemon hasn't started yet.

 

[Chuck~Taylor]

Don't hate. Cleo Lemon can throw a football over dem mountains

 

[shotglass]

You know, Chuck, prior to his NFL career, Mr. Lemon was the lead singer of a bad '80s band called Letters From Cleo...

 

[shotglass]

OK, Letters TO Cleo. They were going in the other direction.

 

[Chuck~Taylor]

Did Harrington get injured?

 

[shotglass]

No. They just made the change at halftime.

You know, a close game is emerging out of this offensive holocaust...

 

[shotglass]

And now, friends, we see if a quarterback can run a two-minute drill with five-minute passes...

(**** Theismann. CP can barely get a 12-yard out to the sideline.)

I think his tailor had incriminating photos.

Now -- what is up with Suzie Kolber's hair?

rain, rain, rain. it'll wreck the blow-dried studio 'do every time.

Yeah, what he said.

Been bad in the Liquid Sunshine State today --- lotsa rain, tornadoes destroying houses (and allegedly my brother's place of employment), the works. Big fun.

 

[shotglass]

Is this how the Jets won most of their games?

The passes Chad Pennington threw tonight ... they were the type of passes your high school quarterback threw before being moved to free safety in his first week of college ball.

Good news! The clock hitting double-zeros means only one thing ... Tony Kornheiser won't be analyzing any more games this season.

Good news! The clock hitting double-zeros means only one thing ... Joe Theismann won't be analyzing any more games this season.

The NFL moved the Packers-Bears game to Sunday night on NBC. Green Bay might have no playoff shot at this point (if the Giants win and the Packers can't have a better strength of schedule), so it will be even more fawning over Brett Favre by John Madden in this case. Either way, prepare yourself for some Favre love that night.

Eventually we had to agree on something. Wow, it was a painful year in the ESPN booth.

Tony K. and Theistard were hurling some barbs at each other near the end of tonight's excruciating broadcast. Maybe they were good-natured.

But wow, these ftards are one-dimensional. Nothing like a 3.5-hour analysis of the QBs. Deep, guys.

Except in the playoffs.

My dream next week is to see the Giants (at Redskins), Packers (at Bears), Panthers (at Saints), Rams (at Vikings) and Falcons (at Eagles) all lose next week, thus ensuring a 7-9 team in the playoffs.

 

[shotglass]

Damn. I was hoping the schedule would finish at 7 p.m. Sunday night, with New Year's Eve deadlines and all.

It was, gulp, my first Monday Night Football game in two years. I started watching after the half, and I was ready to throw things at the TV by the start of the fourth quarter. What was the deal with discussing Pennington's arm for so long? My lord. Move on, please.

 

[Webster]

I'm a die hard Jets fan, but I couldn't make it through the whole game. Fell asleep late in the 3rd quarter before all of the scoring and woke up after the game ended.
