Roundup: Texting and Walking Can Be Dangerous and Ricky Gervais Slays at the Golden Globes
January Jones … Minneapolis is the gayest city in America … fired for telling the truth? … Cameron Diaz & A-Rod partied all weekend in Hollywood … “The yanked me out of the car, put a knee on my back, and checked my rectum several times” … what caused 200 cows to die? … what the heck’s going on in Tunisia? … crazy man has predictably crazy mugshot … how 50 Cent’s tweet impacted a penny stock … even if you work out regularly, sitting at a CPU all day is terribly unhealthy … what’s with the orange alligator? … Ricky Gervais killed it at the Golden Globes last night – his intro after the jump …

I threw up in my car on the way to work today. Happy fucking Monday.
January 17th, 2011 at 8:11 AM
I’ll give it another day of deep throating the Jets. Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you. Sanchez if god.
January 17th, 2011 at 8:13 AM
Leather or fabric?
January 17th, 2011 at 8:14 AM
Ricky Gervais owned. And pwned.
January 17th, 2011 at 8:16 AM
TBL & Jersey – congrats on the win last night. Glad you knocked out the Pats, but I did have to cuss out Folk for missing the first FG. would have been nice if he had done that a week ago
January 17th, 2011 at 8:18 AM
You do see how this:
Shows how this:
Doesn’t mean a whole helluva lot, don’t you?
January 17th, 2011 at 8:20 AM
I grabbed a shopping bag that was on the floor, luckily
January 17th, 2011 at 8:22 AM
CJ – as bad as you feel, i’m the opposite. I have seen the highlights 23 times now. I still cheer at the Sanchez-to-Holmes TD catch.
Such a great night. And a great morning.
January 17th, 2011 at 8:24 AM
Mantis – I was with some Steelers fans this weekend. They wanted to play the Jets. I told them be careful what you wish for.
I really felt worse about NY’s chances vs. Indy. I felt good about their chances vs New England. I feel good about their chances at Pitt.
but I’ll take a breather on the Jets – there will be plenty of posts about them today.
January 17th, 2011 at 8:24 AM
Great day of college basketball today. Kris Joseph didn’t make the trip with the team to Pitt, Cuse shorthanded.
January 17th, 2011 at 8:25 AM
That could have gone without saying.
January 17th, 2011 at 8:26 AM
Hey, that’s my mall!
January 17th, 2011 at 8:27 AM
Well NE and Brady has owned us the past decade, and I wanted another home playoff game. I’ll cover the game a little deeper this week, but if the Jets get a big play on special teams and win the turnover battle, they can do it.
January 17th, 2011 at 8:30 AM
I was with some Steelers fans this weekend. They wanted to play the Jets. I told them be careful what you wish for.
as a fan or a defense who would you rather face the next weekend, sanchez or brady?
January 17th, 2011 at 8:32 AM
i get it. totally.
but brady shredded them in the first meeting.
sanchez was solid in the second meeting.
but who do you fear more – Jets defense, or Brady’s offense? based on recent postseason performance (Jets last 4 games vs. Brady’s last 3 games), i’d say Jets.
January 17th, 2011 at 8:32 AM
The sky seems a bit more blue today. And this… this is rich. It’s like I’m living in another universe today or something.
January 17th, 2011 at 8:33 AM
Are you trying to make me throw up again?
January 17th, 2011 at 8:34 AM
Brady’s offense and it’s not even close. Especially the way he was playing the 2nd half of the season. Dink and dunk passes is the way to beat the Steelers defense and Brady does it to perfection.
January 17th, 2011 at 8:38 AM
Branch can kindly shut the fuck up. Maybe you shouldve run back to the huddle and get back to the line after a play instead of jawing to the Jets sideline when youre down by 10. Speaking of, the clock management in the 4th quarter was so incredibly Andy Reid-ian, it didnt seem real.
January 17th, 2011 at 8:38 AM
Hungover?
January 17th, 2011 at 8:41 AM
You’re hurting right now. I shall take no insult from this.
/the Jets defense was awesome and Brady choked hard the entire game
//where’s Hernia?
January 17th, 2011 at 8:43 AM
The worst kind of hungover
January 17th, 2011 at 8:45 AM
The kind where you’re worried you might be pregnant?
January 17th, 2011 at 8:45 AM
fair point. But the common theme among the final 4 teams standing isn’t offense. all four were top 10 in defense this year.
Man, i’d love it for a blog to do a mock burial of the Sanchez-JaMarcus Russell column. print it out, dig a grave, and bury the sucker. regardless of what happens in Pitt, i think we can all laugh at that one.
January 17th, 2011 at 8:45 AM
Ricky Gervais is proof that there is nothing more liberating than Fuck You money.
January 17th, 2011 at 8:46 AM
When will the media call Brady out for the choker he is? He’s lost 3 playoff games in a row, and 4 of his last 6.
January 17th, 2011 at 8:49 AM
This is a sweet picture I got from SI’s hot clicks of a backboard breaking in some EuroLeague game.
January 17th, 2011 at 8:50 AM
Actually, it’s from South America. Whoops.
January 17th, 2011 at 8:51 AM
If he’s a choker, what does that make Manning?
(JOKING)
Wonder if there will be a total of 50 points scored in both games Sunday. Can’t wait to see the weather forecast. Snow at both games?
January 17th, 2011 at 8:52 AM
DON’T EAT THE BROWN ACID
January 17th, 2011 at 8:52 AM
WTF?
January 17th, 2011 at 8:52 AM
That reminds me… MLJ Super Bowl Weekend 2011 is now accepting reservations. Location: TBD
January 17th, 2011 at 8:54 AM
BL – Kravitz wrote his annual, asinine, Manning is a playoff choker column this weekend. The takedowns of it, particularly after last night have been epic.
/you should be able to wager on which field will have shittier turf Sunday
January 17th, 2011 at 8:56 AM
Chicago will be worse by far – PIT just got a brand new turf after the winter classic. It’s only had 1 game on it, and I thought it was a non-issue on Sat.
January 17th, 2011 at 8:57 AM
Jets played a perfect game at Pitt last time and still were a backup TE drop away from losing. I like the Steelers chances.
January 17th, 2011 at 8:57 AM
can we vote on the biggest play yesterday?
* 2nd qtr. Sanchez to Edwards on 3rd and ? that gained 37 yards. Pats were up 3-0; INC pass would have meant a punt. Crucial 1st down. Jets scored on the drive.
* Debacled fake punt. Jets would score a few plays later to take shocking 14-3 lead. Chung saw 8 pats vs. 6 jets on the right side, called fake punt, but dropped ball, didn’t get 1st down.
* Pats score to make it 14-11 and Sanchez leads jets on 5-play, 75-yard drive, ending with CLUTCH Holmes TD catch in the corner
* Cromartie scooping onside kick and running 25 yards
January 17th, 2011 at 8:57 AM
Chicago has had the worst field in the league the entire year, from what I’ve seen. I’m not alone in that opinion.
January 17th, 2011 at 8:57 AM
It’s like no one remembers that Joe Montana had 12 other years in which he didnt win a Superbowl. But by all means, these days if you dont win every year you’re trash.
January 17th, 2011 at 8:58 AM
That was awful. I vote for that.
January 17th, 2011 at 8:58 AM
Too bad for him. Right call, it seemed. He just didn’t execute.
January 17th, 2011 at 8:59 AM
It’s going to be dead around here this week probably. Two most hated teams on here playing to go to the super bowl.
January 17th, 2011 at 8:59 AM
Serious question: was Braylon Edwards into gymnastics as a child?
January 17th, 2011 at 9:00 AM
All joking aside, let’s not count our chickens before they hatch, fellow Steelers’ fan.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:01 AM
Mantis, I realize I misread your post. My point still stands, though, in general.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:02 AM
Fake punt was the biggest play. Total Bill hubris, no reason to try that in that situation. Giving Jets points.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:03 AM
That was all Chung
January 17th, 2011 at 9:04 AM
Bill didn’t call it, from all available information. Chung has/had ability to call that at the line and he did. And it sure looked like it would have worked had he handled the ball.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:08 AM
“Welker better be glad he didn’t say anything about my wife”.
Or what, LaDainian?
January 17th, 2011 at 9:09 AM
I do love that out of ALLL the garbage that came from the Jets mouths this week, Welker makes a couple feet jokes and guys want to take a fucking bounty on him. Fucking hypocrites.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:11 AM
Holy tits….
January 17th, 2011 at 9:11 AM
I mean, even Belichick wasn’t that thrilled about it.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:12 AM
I mean, I get that professional athletes love to be motivated. But game’s over, fella. Your coach and his wife made videos and put them on YouTube for the world to see. This whole “crossing the line” thing is lame and whiny… and predictable.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:13 AM
I thought it was the dumbest fucking thing ever to bench the guy for one offensive series. What kind of punishment is that? If you’re really pissed then bench him for the whole game.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:13 AM
He has a strict policy. Jets players are making no fucking sense right now.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:13 AM
disagree. totally poppin’
as for Chung fake call … what i don’t get is why he’d call that at his own 35 yard line. midfield, maybe. but deep in your own territory, with a minute left in the half?
January 17th, 2011 at 9:14 AM
But then send him out to catch the first punt. Belichick must use the OSU/SEC punishment handbook.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:15 AM
It’s not that the Jets haven’t earned a position to be where they are. They’ve beat two quality opponents and will face a third next week. But I hope they get the shit kicked out of them in Pittsburgh. I can’t stand the shit talking. It drives me fucking crazy. And Edwards doing his little faggy gymnastics exhibition after the game made me want to puke.
That said, I’m not a Patriots fan by any means.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:15 AM
Huzzah for blowing out a 7-9 team!
/Hate Week begins
January 17th, 2011 at 9:15 AM
Dude they started talking wayyy before they won anything
January 17th, 2011 at 9:16 AM
I missed most of 3rd qtr through late in the 4th.
How did Ravens go from 21-7 to tied at 24?
Did the offense go into a shell?
Pitt defense?
January 17th, 2011 at 9:16 AM
The Steelers host a Sanchize-quarterbacked team coached by a narrator of foot fetish videos. Yeah, I’ll give you those three points.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:16 AM
Butters I’m all in with you. Packers SB or bust.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:17 AM
Hahahaha. This is awesome. CJ is sooo pissed this morning. Can’t blame her.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:17 AM
It’s certainly worth asking the value of giving a player the discretion to make those calls. I’m sure the Patriots will be reviewing it. You have to trust that player a heck of a lot, that’s for sure. And just to be clear, it was the 38.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:17 AM
It would have been much dumber to bench him for the whole game for making a few foot jokes.
/Go Bears
//Go Jets
January 17th, 2011 at 9:18 AM
Are you taking the Pats-fans route of ignoring when they lost to the Jets, too? By all means, oblige yourself.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:18 AM
Jersey I was pissed on Saturday. I’d hate the Jets no matter what. Face it, they can dish it but they can’t take it.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:19 AM
I think they had 2 or three terrible turnovers in a row.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:19 AM
Two turnovers directly led to 14 points, Rice fumbled for the first time in 400 touches (I laughed when he started the next series on the sidelines, no one’s perfect coach) and then Flacco did as Flacco does and laid up a duck…weird game in that the final score would have you think it was an offensive shootout when it was anything but
I like their chances, just don’t want the Bears to score 4 special teams touchdowns which isn’t beyond the realm of possibility
January 17th, 2011 at 9:20 AM
J Jones bringing the HEAT.
Orange aligator – while the unnamed biologest allegedly disagreed – true albino alligators almost never make it to adulthood b/c they stick out when young and get eaten. This could happen if that gator had few non-human enemies – especially other crocs. Pretty wild. Maybe an albino that got in some nasty water? Kind of like how you can change the color of a koi by the water and sediments/deposits in the water>
January 17th, 2011 at 9:20 AM
Ray Rice fumbles in our 30. Then Flacco commits two dumb turnover at the same spot.
/elite
January 17th, 2011 at 9:20 AM
As a Ravens fan, I will not watch another game until Cam Cameron is dead.
Strongly considering putting out a hit on him.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:20 AM
I feel like I’d enjoy them a lot more if Bart Scott and LDT weren’t the loudest voices. Need more Rex. Less those guys.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:21 AM
They’re like bullies. Self-conscious bullies. I won’t even lie about it. But I don’t fucking care. It’s taken 10 years to make any type of progress against the Patriots. I don’t care what it takes or what rode the players have to go down. As long as it ends in a SB.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:22 AM

January 17th, 2011 at 9:23 AM
Both teams left in the AFC can die. Can’t believe I’m resorting to rooting for an NFC team. Ugh.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:24 AM
Hey, it’s moving day, and I don’t feel like doing shit cuz I’m already tired. BALLS.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:25 AM
This. I enjoy Rex Ryan. I’d prefer to punch some of the players in the face.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:26 AM
Congrats to the Jets fans on here, yall put up with a lot of shit this week.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:26 AM
What does “strongly consider” mean to you? Are you looking for a professional in the TBL comments section?
January 17th, 2011 at 9:27 AM
I have to root for Pittsburgh this weekend, that makes me sick
January 17th, 2011 at 9:28 AM
Less of all three of those clowns. More Braylon, David Harris and Fireman Ed.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:28 AM
I haven’t verified these numbers, but I trust them:
Ravens scoring drives: 0yds (DTD), 16yds, 23yds
Steelers scoring drives: 22yds, 23yds, 6yds
January 17th, 2011 at 9:28 AM
Obviously those are a sampling and not all of the scoring
January 17th, 2011 at 9:30 AM
I’m celebrating my day off from work to go snowboarding, I think it’s what Dr. King would have wanted. BUT I wanted to stop by to take a little medicine because I don’t run and hide. Congrats Jersey, the Jets deserved it. I said from day 1 the Pats had to play mistake-free football in order to win and they did the last half of the regular season but did not last night.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:30 AM
I guess I should just quit my job to focus on my health.
I really hate these articles. I try to get to the gym 3-4 times a week for 60-90 minutes each time. Combine that with drive time to and from work, fixing dinner, doing other shit around the house, and watching a few tv shows each week, where else can I find time to be MORE active. Hell, I don’t even have kids. Couldn’t imagine how you people with kids do have time to be active.
Fatties.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:30 AM
Don’t forget two of the long scoring drives (one for each) were greatly helped by questionable DPI calls that resulted in 30+ yard gains.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:30 AM
Wait, what?
January 17th, 2011 at 9:30 AM
Thanks, Hakeem. Appreciate it. You are a very smart person.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:32 AM
I sincerely hope any usher that sees Fireman Ed coming into Heinz Field this weekend denies his entry.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:32 AM
Yup. The Ravens/Steelers game was one where I wanted to ambivalently watch a great match-up that would somehow end in a tie or natural disaster.
At least we can keep rooting for Braylon Edwards to pull a Braylon.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:32 AM
Thanks, Cleet. Have fun on the slopes. Where you going exactly?
January 17th, 2011 at 9:33 AM
Two Michigan Men and JHS probably has the Fireman Ed Iphone App.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:33 AM
David Harris and Braylon allow me to root for the Jets at this point. And, I’d rather see more of Fireman Ed that that bloated bag of hot air, Rex.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:34 AM
Just as the Steelers would rather face Brady than Sanchez
I’d much rather face Big Ben here than PManning/Brady
Steelers offense can be contained (see earlier meeeting with Jets)
January 17th, 2011 at 9:34 AM
There’s a small slope right near where I work. Nothing tremendous but it’s a ten minute drive. Little more than an hour north of the city.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:34 AM
You know the thing about hot air? It usually causes things to rise to the top.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:35 AM
No. Just no.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:36 AM
To be fair, the Jets are going to need to be more effective on offense. That shock and awe opening kr TD was ‘uge.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:36 AM
Just let this go people, please. It’s his day.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:36 AM
Oh dear.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:36 AM
Hey, at this point I want the Jets to win it all. They are my only hope to prevent a Steelers/Packers super bowl.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:36 AM
Wait, WHAT?
January 17th, 2011 at 9:37 AM
62 days until spring starts.

January 17th, 2011 at 9:38 AM
What? Brady owns that ass, the Steelers should have been ecstatic yesterday
We getting anything on the NFL’s oldest rivalry playing its biggest game ever this week or have we slipped into Jets Blog Mode again?
January 17th, 2011 at 9:38 AM
TBL, thanks for the January Jones pic. I about fell off my couch last night when she walked on stage to present. Yummy.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:38 AM
Ha, apologies
January 17th, 2011 at 9:39 AM
Yep, that’s my cue to leave, have a good Monday everyone.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:39 AM
TBL, is Lisk going to write a post about how shitty Joe Flacco is?
January 17th, 2011 at 9:40 AM
In his last 5 playoff games, Sanchez if 4-1. Brady is only 2-4 in his last 6.
/just saying
//can’t even type that with a straight face
January 17th, 2011 at 9:40 AM
I don’t think it is needed to waste energy on a 1500 word post. Everyone knows he is dogshit already.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:41 AM
God damn it.. I am catching wood from MMQB and I’m only like 4 graphs in.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:41 AM
Luckily the other 21 players on Pitt are much much better.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:41 AM
I’m not pleased with Flacco, but that collapse was on more than just him. That was a team effort…and Cam Cemeron.
What’s worse is that Harbaugh doesn’t have the stones to fire anybody. God dammit.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:41 AM
the best thing that could happen next weekend is for Soldier field to fall in on itself about 1 minute after kickoff.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:41 AM
So if his teammates had made plays (like Sanchez’s teammates did), would that mean he isn’t dogshit?
January 17th, 2011 at 9:42 AM
Worst playoffs ever. I hate every team except the Bears. Jets, Packers and Steelers fans are fucking awful.

Yea, I know the Ravens offense as a whole was poo-poo. But damn, that guy, I think, has been over-rated by some. Especially John Clayton, who’s called him a top QB for like two years.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:43 AM
I’d rather have a 1500 word post about how Woodhead and Brady are products of the system.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:44 AM
I want to root for the Bears cuz Chicago is awesome, but I can’t root for Jay Cutler. Just can’t be done.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:44 AM
Jesus Christ… really? Bears fans really do think their shit doesn’t stink.

Serious question: was Braylon Edwards into gymnastics as a child?
that and ice skating. He and Johnny Weir were tite
January 17th, 2011 at 9:44 AM
Aaron Rodgers is awful fun to watch.
I’m pretty close to adopting the Packers as my 2nd favorite team.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:44 AM
They hired the wrong Harbaugh.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:44 AM
Awwww poor Ravens fans. Just remember this, Ben owns that ass.

January 17th, 2011 at 9:45 AM
Dude, the players lost that game for the Ravens. Not the coaches. There were a whole series of events that, had someone made the play instead of not, the Ravens probably win that game.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:45 AM
So if his teammates had made plays (like Sanchez’s teammates did), would that mean he isn’t dogshit?
It was more the lofting a pass into double coverage and the fumbling a snap on the very next drive that made him dogshit to me.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:45 AM
They can’t hear you, too busy putting the Blackhawks jerseys back into the closet and dusting off the Bears one purchased during the 2006 playoffs…hoping to see at least 15K Packer fans at Soldier next week, if I hadn’t spent a shitload on the Rose Bowl trip would think about finding tickets myself
January 17th, 2011 at 9:46 AM
So what’s the most enjoyable Super Bowl matchup then?
I think Packers/Steelers might make for the best game. Jets and Bears was close a few weeks ago, but if I have to listen to the Jets talk for two weeks, I think I might kill myself.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:46 AM
Well yeah, Clayton is an idiot, he is by no means elite. I think he’s just good, and nothing more. Anybody who’s watched all their games could tell ya he isn’t special. Him as elite is laughable. He’ll get a little better, probably, and that’s his ceiling.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:47 AM
That 3rd and 19…. damn. I hate the shit out of that big fat cable-installing bastard, but that was incredible.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:47 AM
He good
The Bears have played him awfully tough in the last 5 games against them but I think the defense should be able to do a good enough job to deliver a win…the Seahawks defense they ain’t
January 17th, 2011 at 9:47 AM
I’m convinced they bought half the seats at the Falcons game. That was just ridiculous.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:48 AM
If the Ravens had the choice right now, with no other details, “Jim or John”… they’d say “John”. And it would be the right choice.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:48 AM
Of course. Roethlisberger is 9-2 in the post-season. That’s the guy you want to face!
January 17th, 2011 at 9:48 AM
No argument, I just want Cameron gone for the entire body of work over the course of the season. Saturday was just another example.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:48 AM
Jets-Packers for sure. It would just be funny to ensure that in Favre’s last year, one of his former employers will win a super bowl.

January 17th, 2011 at 9:49 AM
The Packers would be steamrolling through the playoffs if Grant and Finley were healthy. Do they lose anyone significant to free agency next year? If not, they are the preseason favorite in the NFC next year by a mile.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:49 AM
whoops, mis-typed. Steelers would obviously rather have faced Sanchez than Brady.

Jenn Sterger for the coin toss.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:51 AM
Guy next to me tried lifting me up after that play. Too bad he forget he was probably 150 and 40 pounds lighter than me. I feel down a row and my knee is fucking killing me. It was worth it.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:51 AM
Rodgers is a treat to watch. How awesome was that pass he made on the run to James Jones, who tip-toed down the line for like 20 more yards?
January 17th, 2011 at 9:51 AM
I’m clearly going to end up listening to RATM for the entire 3hr drive to my new place. I’m sure I’ll be in a fantastic mood by then.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:52 AM
Embrace the villan role, TBL. Don’t go back now.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:52 AM
TBL, last night should have provided you with a months worth of quality round up picks, don’t screw it up.
Out of the 4 remaining teams, the Packers is who I have to back. I love wrestling and Rodgers putting on the title belt is the best celebration in the NFL today.
/that is what I based my entire decision on.
//I thought Bart Scott was going to bite Sal’s head off.
///That was a great Seymour impression he did last night faking the injury.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:52 AM
My drunk self may have unmercifully mocked that 115 decibels goal during the second half and how the closet the stadium came to meeting it was after the John Kuhn touchdown
James Jones and AJ Hawk I believe have team options but otherwise not really, they locked up both Tramon Williams (how he’s not in the Pro Bowl remains a mystery) and Desmond Bishop during the season…the defense should only be getting better as Sam Shields continues to develop and BJ Raji comes ever closer to Beastmode
January 17th, 2011 at 9:52 AM
That’s fine. So have a lot of people. A lot of people can be wrong. Last night, por ejemplo.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:53 AM
Somehow we all forgot that the Patriots defense is not very good. The Steelers are the best defense in the league. The Jets are going to need some turnovers or big special teams plays to pull it off.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:54 AM
As a proud title belt owner, I can support this. But Bart Scott might as well be filming wrestling promos every week.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:54 AM
All of this. Good thing the Packers won by 27 on Saturday. Had that game been decided by 3 or less, they might have been in trouble. I think they beat Chicago by 10 on Sunday and the Steelers win by 4 over the Jets.
For all of you gamblers, it clearly means you should take the Bears and Jets. I’m horrible at picking games.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:54 AM
Well, I did say it without knowing who they would face in the playoffs. Just that I thought they were the AFC’s best team. But next Sunday is going to be fun. That Jets ass whoopin yesterday should give them all sorts of confidence (not that they were lacking).
January 17th, 2011 at 9:54 AM
Jesus, King is such a Pats homer sometimes.

John Abraham was apparently stripped of his title belt at half time.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:57 AM
I was at a house party that was 85% Falcons, 15% indifferent fans. I was the 15% and it was quite a treat to experience their dejection. This led to many chugging contests between folks, who seemed to want to drink away their sorrows.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:58 AM
Jersey, I see what YOU’RE saying, but did Troy Polamalu play in that game?
January 17th, 2011 at 9:59 AM
Do these two road playoffs wins, and three victories down the stretch to get into the playoffs, justify Rodgers and shut up haters like Cowterd?
I wonder what Cowterd will say today about the Patriots? He’s always been Belichick and Brady apologist.
January 17th, 2011 at 9:59 AM
Jets fans….(basically Jersey and TBL)
Are you guys worried that Sunday is a letdown game? They hate the Patriots with a passion. The whole 2nd biggest game in history, all the shit talking, etc.
Are you worried that they spent so much of themselves trying to beat the Patriots (and they get a little too full of themselves) that maybe Pittsburgh sneaks up and beats them by two scores? I know, it’s crazy to think about…..but still….
January 17th, 2011 at 10:00 AM
I see what you’re saying, but I couldn’t have been the only one who noticed how bad of a game (for him, especially) Polamalu had on Saturday?
January 17th, 2011 at 10:00 AM
JCK – of course. plus overconfidence since they already beat Pitt.
January 17th, 2011 at 10:00 AM
Considered listening to his show this morning out of curiosity but why break the streak? Also $20 says he keeps his first two segments on Sanchez/Brady
January 17th, 2011 at 10:01 AM
Nothing but Roger Ebert syndrome shuts Cowterd up.
As for everyone else, it should. I never understood all the Rodgers hate anyway.
January 17th, 2011 at 10:02 AM
The Jets beat Pgh by 5 points in a game without Polamalu and Heath Miller. Yes, I remember. And, unless I’m mistaken the Jets QB is still Mark Sanchez.
January 17th, 2011 at 10:02 AM
Yep, he had a bad game. I’m sure he’s had a few in his career. But has he ever had two in a row?
January 17th, 2011 at 10:03 AM
It’s going to happen.
January 17th, 2011 at 10:04 AM
Yeah, I don’t know. He obviously has a flare for the dramatic, so you’d expect him to show up next week certainly. But I was more wondering whether nagging injuries are really bothering him.
January 17th, 2011 at 10:05 AM
January Jones… giving new meaning to the words “Golden Globes”.
January 17th, 2011 at 10:05 AM
It was a treat to watch him get trucked by Ray Rice.

The 1500 word post is about a fictional QB named Paddy Ice. And yes, it is 1500 words.

Oh shit. Spence’s pants just tightened.
January 17th, 2011 at 10:23 AM
I give the Jets props. They confused the shit out of Brady, something not easily done (unless you are the Browns!).
If I were a Jets fan, my concern going forward would be as follows
1. They blew their load against the Pats
2. Blitzing Dick LeBeau gets Sanchez’s head spinning
3. Big Ben scrambling around, giving Mike Wallace time to get open 60 yards downfield on your safeties.
January 17th, 2011 at 10:25 AM
Cowherd gets it. And once again, fuck you Ravens.
January 17th, 2011 at 10:26 AM
I’m concerned about 1 and 3. The thing that goes unnoticed is that Callahan and Schotty actually do a great job of getting the line to protect Mierda. He’s done a great job of identifying the right throws to make. It’s just been, literally, a 50/50 of him actually connecting on said throw.
January 17th, 2011 at 10:26 AM

I know January Jones isn’t exactly a complete favorite around here, but God damn she looked hot last night.
Ricky Gervais was awesome last night. And while I like watching the award shows and Hollywood, blah blah blah, it’s always fun to see a host tear some folks a new asshole. I’ve actually heard or read some say, “oh no ricky went too far.” Two words: FUCK and YOU. Get Chris Rock from the Oscars out there.
And actually, I thought DeNiro was very funny as well.
