Or a floater 8 yards underthrown that the defender never expects, so he never turns around, while another guy picks it off.
I cannot believe the Pack gave that game away. I hope their punt team had to walk home.

Acting was good apart from Lively. I actually thought Hamm did a good job when he wasn’t trying to act tough (not buying it). The action scenes were well done though I thought the shaky camera fad had run its course.
The writing was pretty bad in parts though. The movie overall was just kind of meh. Given the way this movie season has played out though, I guess that’s better than average.

I know that the East-coasters probably feel differently about the Skins/Jets/Giants etc, but there really is nothing like having to deal with an insufferable Bears fan. When they are winning, they’re terrible to talk to and when they are losing, they mentally travel back to 1985.

Packer Nation a little bitter this morning. I’m still upset about Lovie going for it on 4th down and that’s twice they’ve failed from the 1. Also, take a knee on that last play before the FG. What’s the point of even trying to score the TD? Surprised McCarthy even lined up a defense.
September 28th, 2010 at 9:03 AM
So true. Central Illinois Packer fan here. The only time you hear the Bears fans is when they beat the Packers, or go to the Super Bowl. Half of them prolly think Rex Grossman is still the QB.
September 28th, 2010 at 9:04 AM

similar to that Braylon Edwards Sunday Night flag. Letter of the law, and the law drastically favors the receiver.

if anybody Bears fan comes up to you today and tells you how good Julius Peppers played last night, you can sure as hell agree with them. And you can tell them how bad the O line for the Pack sucks.
But Julius Peppers has wrecked shop in both games I’ve seen for Chicago.

Well that law sucks. Diabetes face got bailed the eff out several times by drops or penalties last night. He’s still an awful, awful decision maker.
September 28th, 2010 at 9:11 AM
The Steelers bandwagon is riding a lot lower to the ground, so perhaps you want to jump on.
Pep has been great thus far, I don’t know if it is the new surroundings/contract or if he is just biding his time until he takes plays off and becomes a non-factor. I did have to chuckle when Gruden called him “A great clutch performer” last night.
September 28th, 2010 at 9:11 AM
18 penalties. I’m guessing after number 10, it just became a learned response. Frustrating game to watch especially with the time of possession advantage GB had.
September 28th, 2010 at 9:11 AM
/still haven’t had a steelers game, but they sound scary
gotta keep Troy and Aaron Smith healthy, but yeah, they’re good.
September 28th, 2010 at 9:11 AM
Awww this is the first response to me that you haven’t been mean. I afree with you, Peppers had whoever was blocking him nervous as hell. There had to be 4 or 5 false start/holding penalties due to Peppers.
September 28th, 2010 at 9:12 AM
did anybody see Woodson punch the ball that one time where he just literally punched the ball, like the ball had insulted his momma’s cooking? That was wonky.
September 28th, 2010 at 9:12 AM
Not disagreeing that he got bailed out but that was the first appearance of Bad Jay this year. Having Clay ‘Sunshine’ Matthews in your face all night will do that. Both offensive lines looked like they had no interest in picking up a blitzes or sealing off a DE.
September 28th, 2010 at 9:14 AM
Well I’m just ready for Favre to make another trip to Lambeau. Hopefully Matthews knocks him out.

Not reaping, just funny when everyone complains about the refs and the rules. Jets got beat that week, didn’t make one complaint about the calls. Of course you read into that whatever you wanted, its early, you haven’t washed the douche out of your hair.
September 28th, 2010 at 9:20 AM
I’m speaking more in terms of how many half-assed games you see played in the NBA. There is requisite amount of intensity/effort required to play and survive an NFL or NHL game, even in the regular season. You can hide on the perimeter and avoid defence like the plague in an NBA game and slip under the radar for the most part.
September 28th, 2010 at 9:20 AM
The ESPN pregame show is an abortion, really time to knock off the Favre talk when discussing the Packers…we’re happy with Rodgers, thanks

I’ve never said shit. I’m far from a Colts yes man, I criticize them all the time. I think the PI rules are a joke now for the most part. It was a clear overreaction to, in fairness, what was an incredible display of mean mugging in a playoff game. Not that it mattered. Pats were a better, tougher, more complete team both of those years and if the Colts really wanted to beat them in the playoffs they shouldn’t have gagged in the regular season against them.

September 28th, 2010 at 9:27 AM
Tough to see that right now since the defense is still every bit as mistake prone as it was last year and the tackles on the offensive line are both 60 years old…also they really, really, really need to get a running back, the Bills need to stop being stupid and give up Lynch

Still hate the 4th down calls, still think Cutler is making some ill-advised throws and still think we have no semblance of a running game to lean on against teams with a good pass rush. Lots of things to be fixed, love the start to the season.

Thank you, Packers, for playing stupidly and committing a ridiculous amount of fouls last night.
September 28th, 2010 at 9:51 AM
By the way… Yahoo fantasy sports fucking blows. I gave up on the TBL fantasy hockey league draft after getting booted from that draft room every 30 seconds. I looked at my team this morning and realized it’s going to be a long year with Halak in net. Geez, where you at? Trade me Marian Hossa. I need Marian Hossa. NEED HIM.

Yikes, someone went shooty on the UT campus and killed himself, per The Clown’s Twitter.
September 28th, 2010 at 9:51 AM
I know it goes against that spirit. Hey, if someone is in trouble I am willing to give an effort to help them out. A buck, shirt off my back, moral support, all that. I’m just not willing to give them an organ out of my functioning body unless they are especially close with me. If I’m Schaivo’d, fine. If that makes me non-charitable than so be it.

September 28th, 2010 at 9:52 AM
Theres a post coming later about Price and Longoria
September 28th, 2010 at 9:52 AM
We gonna do this to every team that has poor attendance?
September 28th, 2010 at 9:53 AM
Isn’t part of that play call knowing that if you don’t score, the Packers start at the own goalline? Followed by a punt that normally would have the Bears starting in Packers territory, except the punt was boomed and gave Hester a full head of steam to go straight to the end zone.
September 28th, 2010 at 9:54 AM
I don’t get why everyone is up in arms about this. Put the Giants in San Mateo. Put the Twins in Minnetonka. Put the Rangers in Frisco and attendance should blow there too…

It was Founder’s Milk Stout mixed with Southern Tier’s Pumking. Like a half and half mix although I prefer a little more Stout. The concoction is called Stumking.

I’m blown away by how unprofessional the players are being about this. Bitching about fans going to games, big no no.
September 28th, 2010 at 9:55 AM
why wouldn’t you?
September 28th, 2010 at 9:55 AM
Yes. And I realize it was 6 points if Dez doesn’t drop the ball. In those instances a team should be able to push forward for a yard on a QB sneak and the Bears can’t do that with their offensive line.
In both instances this year the Bears were at home, relatively late in a game and had a chance to tie it. Take the points at home. On the road? Sure, give it a shot and go for it.

Missed the draft entirely. My son’s hockey game was pushed back due to problems with the zamboni gate. What’s my punishment? I get first pick and stuck with Ovechkin. I’m accepting trade offers as I don’t think I can pull for that guy under any circumstance.

Jonah Keri took to twitter last night saying that complaining about attendance is “offensive and counterproductive”. He’s got a point.

Tampa’s 22 out of 30 in average home attendance. What’s the cutoff? And where are you moving them to?
And the Braves are 15th in average home attendance.
September 28th, 2010 at 10:02 AM
Naw, but every home game should involve a team from the New York-New England general area,

Not being centrally located would kill attendance. It’s proven.

September 28th, 2010 at 10:03 AM
The White Sox are last on that list. That makes me confused.
September 28th, 2010 at 10:04 AM
Fuck I hate agreeing with you. Right above them is Cincy. Again, players complaining about attendance is petty and stupid. Don’t blame the fans who can watch it at home for cheaper. Blame your sales executives. Blame marketing. Blame the owner.
September 28th, 2010 at 10:05 AM
What confuses you? People see White Sox and say and “ooo, good night to wash my hair and vacuum”.
September 28th, 2010 at 10:05 AM
I don’t know or care, but the fact that 22 is a hell of alot closer to 30th than first, I’ll venture that it’s safe to say that they’re on the right side of that cutoff.
September 28th, 2010 at 10:06 AM
Geez, where you at? Trade me Marian Hossa. I need Marian Hossa. NEED HIM.

September 28th, 2010 at 10:06 AM
Yeah, I was thinking about this this morning – shouldnt it be in the team’s best interest to lower prices? I thought all these high ticket prices were based on supply and demand and if the fans are paying for it then it makes sense for them to raise prices. But if attendance is falling, shouldnt they be lowering them to maximize attendance?
September 28th, 2010 at 10:07 AM
Yahoo fantasy sports fucking blows. I gave up on the TBL fantasy hockey league draft after getting booted from that draft room every 30 seconds.
The interface was awful, got booted a couple times right before my turn to select. At least I had a couple guys queue’d up.
September 28th, 2010 at 10:07 AM
I’m 98% sure that it’s partially fake, like the Lebron behind the back full court shot and Vick throwing the football out of the stadium.
September 28th, 2010 at 10:08 AM
who washes their fucking vacuum? I’ve never even considered doing this.
September 28th, 2010 at 10:09 AM
Since moving the bottom 9 teams seems arbitrary, let’s make it a nice round number, and move the bottom ten. Here they are, maybe you all can figure out better markets for these teams: Reds, Rays, Nats, O’s, Pirates, Blue Jays, Royals, Marlins, A’s, Indians.
September 28th, 2010 at 10:10 AM

I almost took Kessel at one point – I felt shame for even considering it.

September 28th, 2010 at 10:14 AM
Exactly. If you’re priority is to fill up the stadium, cut the ticket prices. People will still come in and need to eat, park, all that other shit. You also have a better chance of repeat customers. But I mean obviously, if there are so many tickets available, it must mean that you have disloyal fans, not incorrect pricing.
September 28th, 2010 at 10:16 AM

September 28th, 2010 at 10:17 AM
It’s called the law of diminishing returns and it exists. You lower prices for teh cheap seats you bastardize the prices for the more expensive seats and you end up losing a shitload more than just filing the damn venue.

September 28th, 2010 at 10:20 AM
look, live sports are just not the draw they used to be. better tech and bad economy underline this. every time i’ve been at an NFL or college football game, i’ve been underwhelmed. big time hoops is cool, once in a great while, because of the size and athelticism of the players, and baseball is fine as long as you live close to the park. TV has it all when it comes to sports.
/this does not include the soul-warming benefits of tailgating with friends, quality time with kids, obv.
September 28th, 2010 at 10:20 AM
What does figuring out better markets have to do with the lack of attendance in Tampa? Also, other than the Reds (whose attendance has increased) those other teams are losing. Which one of those other teams are contending for the best record in the American League?
September 28th, 2010 at 10:22 AM
/perry’s bobos are real, right?
If they aren’t the doctor deserves a hearty handshake.
September 28th, 2010 at 10:24 AM
Stop putting logic and common economic sense in the way of ticket sales.
Cut early season and late season ticket prices. Lower prices during the week. Higher prices on weekends when more people are interested in coming. Supply and demand should now be based on when customers want to come to the park and make it irrestible to come at other times with better pricing…
September 28th, 2010 at 10:24 AM
I feel like it works differently for sports because it is more of a desire product than a need or want product. Like people who pay for expensive seats are going to pay for them regardless of what the other seats cost. Plus, these guys haven’t complained that no one is buying tickets. They are complaining about no one being there. Well if you want the stadium filled up, there is a very easy fix.
September 28th, 2010 at 10:29 AM
No one has said, let’s make every ticket the same. However, tickets for when the home team plays the Yankees hould be higher than tickets against the Royals. Supply and demand.
Tickets for weekends should be higher than those during the week. Supply and demand.
Tickets for summer games should be higher than those during the early spring and early fall. Supply and demand.
The net/net of all of those prices changes could be equal to what you would have charged for straight line pricing.
The same theory exists for years with movie theatres. Matinees are cheaper than at night. Why? It’s daytime. Who wants to see a movie? For some, the price change changed behavior.
September 28th, 2010 at 10:35 AM
You realize Target Field is not exactly centrally located. If it was farther out, then there would be more tailgaters going to the game. See Miller Park.
September 28th, 2010 at 10:38 AM
If a winning team isn’t going to bring people out to the park, some misguided interpretation of supply and demand won’t.
