Hey, Shayne Graham, go fuck yourself. Stop those fucking field goals, jack-ass.

EDIT: Ray Rice and Joe Flacco picked quite the week to suck.

Tim Tebow played in the 666th MNF game.

Tell me that wasn't planned out prior to the season.

Not sure where I saw this clip posted (hell, it might have been one of you), but it's fantastic. The East team gets redundant, but stick around through the West team.

Two fantasy games for me this week, both of which made me want to kill someone...

1) I'm up 89-88 on Sunday night with no players left for either myself or my opponent. Monday morning says I lose 87-88. FUCK YOU, score correction. FUCK YOU.

2) I have Owen Daniels vs. Shayne Graham and Andre Johnson. Due to Johnson sucking and Daniels doing awesome, looks like I'm going to eeek out a victory. Then the Texans line up TWO FUCKING FIELD GOALS in the last half of the game, one of which could easily have been Daniels's second TD. I fucking tied that one.

Bah... I lost by 2 points.

At least my fantasy team's as bad as my real teams.

"Played" is such a strong word.

LT to Tebow: you need to get laid.

EDIT: As the article points out...
Earlier in the show, Brown did ask Taylor about his May 2010 incident with an underage prostitute. In 2011, Taylor pleaded guilty to sexual misconduct and patronizing a 16-year-old prostitute.

Looks like the Vikings D took another day off for a stripper cruise again. On the plus side, I'm 27 points up with Owen Daniels v. Arian Foster tonight. I expect that shit to be down to the wire because both Crabtree and Lynch tanked for me.

Speaking of teams whose defense isn't showing up, goddamn, Houston.

I'm behind in both my games, but still have guys to go Monday night, and I'm not behind by much. In fact, in one league the guy I'm playing has scored the most points this week, and I'm 6 points behind him with Philip Rivers still to play, and Jordy Nelson in play now.

Looks like Foster's out unless the game gets close. C'mon, Owen. It's not like they're throwing less when they're behind.

Last week would be the week I dropped the Denver defense.

I needed 5 points from Rivers tonight, and he gave me 9 in his worst performance all year. I scored the most points in my one league, and beat the guy who scored the second most. I've been there, and I know that stings.

In my other league I had McGahee and Floyd, while he had Gates. I had the lead before the game, Gates scored 18 to give him a big lead, and with 2 minutes and change left Floyd got that 12 yarder to put me up by 2 points.

Two close wins...unless there are corrections tomorrow.

Every league has at least one evil motherfucker that everyone wants to see have a losing record for once. This week, I played that dude in one of my leagues. I'm up by thirty or so points with Daniels, Crabtree, and Lynch up against just seemingly Arian Foster. He proceeds to have a pedestrian game and the evil mofo forgets to start Jermichael Finley for Sunday night's game. Figure I'm golden. He gets Joel fucking Dreessen off waivers and needs him to put up 18 points (which would be 150% of Joel's best game this year). First half, Joel does next to nothing. Then, he lights up in the third quarter as the Broncos get the momentum shift after halftime. Goes from two points to eleven in about five minutes, still a full quarter and two-thirds to go. Then he wasn't heard from again.

Fucking victory over evil, netting me first in my division. Got stomped in the other league because I was playing Jordy Nelson and dropped the Broncos D last week (which would've easily gotten me a win there, too).

A couple comments from the nfl.com board during the game (which are normally 100% worthless smack talk)...

1) "Who's going to score more TDs, Peyton or the Denver D?"
2) From a Saints fan, "We got Drees Brees coasting to the Hall of Fame while San Diego is stuck with a petulant child."

WSJ published an article today stating that if the NFL teams were replaced by 50-50 coin flips , there would be 10 3-3 teams on average.

11 teams in the NFL are 3-3

I'm going to win both my games this week, I think.

One of them is by far the shittiest showing I've had in a bit.

Ray Rice
Crabtree
Lynch
Phil Dawson

The only dude who's done above average is Owen Daniels. Got Big Ben, Denarius Moore, and Welker to go. Opponent's somehow doing worse. Up on me by 3 with Baron Batch to go. I like those odds.

I've got the Jets D to go... and a 7 point lead. I'm screwed.
