More of a liquor guy
maybe that’s why I passed out (or at least my memories ended) at a somewhat acceptable hour.
Football cures everything right?

I hope so
Should take a gander over at the steelers fan site. We are getting disses left and right. One dude called us punks. They have their stupid one armed QB takle to tho else but nick harper who had been stabed in his legg the night before, lol. We need a win so we can erase the stupid memories that come with playing the steelers. 1995 – steelers wide reciever clearly out of the end zone when td pass was caught, 1995 – Colts wide reciever dropps last secound td ball in endzone. 2006 – Tripp tackle, 2006 – Mike Vander WHO?, Mike Vander WHAT?

A lot of VERY INTERESTING games this week, a lot of picks which could go either way.
I’ll be gladly wrong if the Colts win, but I just don’t see it happening today. I think it’ll be close though.

NFC North is one tricky division

I'm glad to be back in the saddle
Two weeks without Sunday Ticket was way too long.
And of course, CHI-TEN is the local game here. I’ll probably watch some of BUF-NE as well.
Lions Fail
LOL, Sunday Ticket just crapped on the Lions. There are eight games, but on the game mix, the Lions/Jags doesn’t get a spot, instead the “Red Zone Channel”
Brutal.

from what I've heard the Red Zone Channel is amazing

It's with Sunday Ticket Superfan
It basically switches from game to game, which ever one is closest to scoring usually.
That’s not the reason I love Sunday Ticket. Game Mix (8 games, one screen!) is fantastic! I won’t get this the next 4 years, so I have to savor it while I can.

They switch between games
with the goal of showing whenever a team is inside the opposing 20

Going for it on 4th and 1 in the red zone. Don’t beat yourself.

Jags are self destructing
Former Colts Mike Peterson was sent home after interrupting Del Rio while he was yelling at the team for their poor performance. He is sitting today. Del Rio also took away the team’s locker room music and dominoes privileges.
Lions are inside the 5 with a chance to go up 7-3

The playcall was dumb
but I’m fine with the call. They have a great shot at a safety here and if their D doesn’t massively screw up the O will have good field position.

It turns out they made the wrong choice, but at the time
Lilja over him made total sense.
Lilja wasn’t expected to miss any time, he’s a year younger, 1 mil a year cheaper and signed on for a year longer.

as of right now
they wouldn’t fit under the cap with Scotts deal. They have 3.8 mil in space and Scott is getting 5 mil a year

We only have 3.8 mil???
Visit FanIQ.com for sports news, bloggings, polls, and more!
Yeah
That’s plenty to have in season where you are only picking up minimum salary guys. They had a ton for a little window before Sanders, Clark and Lilja were resigned. Then the draft picks and undrafted FAs ate up a couple mil

That's reassuring for a team thinking of giving him a big contract
