kudos to the samaruai dude. I have no idea what the proper technique is for one of those but holding it kinda Kill Bill style makes you look badass and more threatening for sure

Best front-running QB this side of Jay Cutler, although he managed to be bad even with a lead last night

I had not realized there was anything to discuss today other than the ALCS and the World Series.

C’mon. The story is how the Yankees lost and the future of Alex Rodriguez.
/ESPN’d
October 19th, 2012 at 9:15 AM
Still not sure who won yesterday’s ALCS game. The only thing I’ve seen on TV and the interwebs is that the Yankees lost.
October 19th, 2012 at 9:16 AM
They will when Kaepernick takes over.
October 19th, 2012 at 9:16 AM
that was awesome. I love that they were going to give him a carton of smokes just for showing up.

This guy witnessed Lincoln getting assassinated.

Those history wormholes are pretty nuts. Just think, in the year 2106 there will be someone just like this guy who was 5 years old and remembered watching 9/11 happen on live TV. 2106
October 19th, 2012 at 9:19 AM
Chet Haze, legend.
Fair or not I’m picturing you as the guy who got outed by the way, even though I know you’re not Texan.
October 19th, 2012 at 9:19 AM
I applaud Harbaugh not taking the safety last night for the sure victory formation.
Buying the hook on -7.5 was a good idea after all.
October 19th, 2012 at 9:19 AM
You went yesterday, right? How was the atmosphere in the D? I’m living down in Tampa and I’m bummed to be missing all of the excitement.

I did take a moment during the Yankee schadenfreude though to get pissed off all over again thinking about how the Sox led the Tigers for over 4 months of the season before The Troubles
October 19th, 2012 at 9:20 AM
And, if I could gamble, I would hit LSU -3.5 so hard this weekend
I think they beat A&M by 7, possibly 10.
It’ll be fun to watch JFF against that defense.
October 19th, 2012 at 9:20 AM
That’s the whole point, right.
October 19th, 2012 at 9:20 AM
Don’t go all Breesus on us. ESPN.com, SI.com, FoxSports.com and CBS Sports.com all lead with the Tigers as their main baseball story. Only Yahoo even mentions the Yankees.
October 19th, 2012 at 9:21 AM
Apparently that was Matt Damon’s grandfather who asked the first question.
October 19th, 2012 at 9:21 AM
you’re right, it’s silly to assume they can’t get to the super bowl when they were 1 game away last year (couple bad bounces of fumbles and bad non fumble call away from winning) and didn’t lose any major pieces from that run
October 19th, 2012 at 9:22 AM
“Think you gotta trade A-Rod and Hughes for Braun and Gallardo, whaddya think Mikey?”
October 19th, 2012 at 9:22 AM
They wouldn’t go with Kaepernick, either. Their glass ceiling is 2nd round of the playoffs.
October 19th, 2012 at 9:22 AM
I imagine the actual city of Detroit really couldn’t give a damn about the World Series. We all know brothas don’t watch baseball anymore. The suburban dads on the other hand, are probably going crazy right now.
October 19th, 2012 at 9:22 AM
I think they beat A&M by 7, possibly 10.
you do? if aggie gets any kind of lead, lsu is done. i dont think lsu’s d is really that awesome. good, not great.
October 19th, 2012 at 9:22 AM
I think Tom Hanks son is pretty good actor in his own right. He was good in Mad Men and that token part in Band of Brothers
best band of brothers scenes:
crossroads assault
that raid into german house to take prisoners
taking the eagles nest
sobel saluting winters in final episode
sobel being lost in training and responding to phony voice
October 19th, 2012 at 9:23 AM
49ers will not go to the SB with alex smith. sorry.
They wouldn’t go with Kaepernick, either. Their glass ceiling is 2nd round of the playoffs.
I don’t think he’s any good either, but Trent Dilfer has a super bowl ring; and it’s not like there are a bunch of juggernauts that the 49ers will have to face to get there. League is such a crap shoot this year.
October 19th, 2012 at 9:23 AM
Meh. He a’ight. I heard he was horrible on Dexter last season.
October 19th, 2012 at 9:24 AM
No no his other son, Chet Haze, the rapper.

Is he a legitimate Heisman contender with a big game?

Still not sure who won yesterday’s ALCS game

Was watching the 4th inning yesterday on the treadmill at the gym.
Needless to say, the cute girl next to me now thinks I’m a psycho with the amount clapping & fist pumping that took place that inning.
/F the Yankees
October 19th, 2012 at 9:24 AM
He was godawful in Dexter.
October 19th, 2012 at 9:24 AM
you’re right, it’s silly to assume they can’t get to the super bowl when they were 1 game away last year (couple bad bounces of fumbles and bad non fumble call away from winning) and didn’t lose any major pieces from that run
we will see if that run last year was a fluke. i think it was. they are a good team, but i cant think of one team in the last 10years with a shit qb even making the super bowl.

October 19th, 2012 at 9:26 AM
No no his other son, Chet Haze, the rapper.
NO idea this was Tom Hanks’ son. He doesn’t look anything like him. His other son… the bad actor… looks just like him.

Brad Johnson, Jake Delhomme, Rex Grossman
October 19th, 2012 at 9:26 AM
True, but going thru life, especially when you’re younger, you’re always trying to be the best and always think that right/good will prevail. As you get older, you find out, you’d rather be lucky than good.
Having said that, take TXAM +3.5. Game’s at 12 Noon and I believe the Aggies played FLA the way they’re gonna play the Tigers on Sat but 5 weeks later and a better OFF. TXAM gonna win outright an by double-digits.
/there, I said it
//crosses arms, waits for the haters
October 19th, 2012 at 9:27 AM
huh?
October 19th, 2012 at 9:27 AM
He really fell off in the end, but Delhomme had some pretty productive years.
October 19th, 2012 at 9:27 AM
I saw that as well, quite the resemblance. it looked like Damon from Oceans 11.
October 19th, 2012 at 9:27 AM
Brad Johnson, Jake Delhomme, Rex Grossman
How soon we forget. Rex Grossman’s team had an early lead in a super bowl, did they not?
October 19th, 2012 at 9:27 AM
Grossman would like a word.
Jake Delhomme just squeezes into this window
these two at that time are better than smith. delhomme was pretty good, but yeah, grossman was crap. obvious outlier.
October 19th, 2012 at 9:27 AM
Maybe Eric Roberts. I’d have to agree otherwise.
October 19th, 2012 at 9:27 AM
Grammar’d
He’s not that great, and I think I mentioned this before but a big part of the problem is how much he looks and sounds like his father, so he comes off as a cheap imitation of Tom. He’s okay in some stuff, but he can’t really carry a movie (see: Orange County).
October 19th, 2012 at 9:28 AM
That’s a dick move by Vandy. That was to be our home opener.
Franklin wants an easy non-conference schedule. They also dumped Northwestern for ’13-’14. The Buckeyes have been replaced by a home game against UAB.
/takes UAB
//pounds the under

October 19th, 2012 at 9:28 AM
I love that movie though
October 19th, 2012 at 9:29 AM
Brad Johnson was perfectly average, and had one great year with the Redskins. Delhomme’s last couple years have gotten him such a bad rep that it’s TAINTed (see what I did there) the rest of his career, but he was perfectly fine. Granted all he had to do was get the ball to Muhammad and Smith but still. And the Sex Cannon well… yeah.
October 19th, 2012 at 9:29 AM
the nation was very close to having a flacco/smith super bowl last year.
we won’t see a pass heavy or offense reliant team make it to the super bowl with a shitty QB, but teams with a dominant defense have been getting to the super bowl for decades.
October 19th, 2012 at 9:30 AM
Rapieburger was dogshit the SEA Super Bowl win. That whole year he wasnt good.
October 19th, 2012 at 9:30 AM
Drinking the Yankees’ milkshake always tastes so much better. Go Tigers.
October 19th, 2012 at 9:30 AM
really? I think aTm has a pretty good chance. LSU can’t do shit on offense, and even though their D is pretty stout, aTm is still going to score. it may not be much, but they won’t need a whole lot to keep with LSU.
October 19th, 2012 at 9:30 AM
Yes, I was at the game last night. Was incredible. I would probably put it as #2 on my list of all-time great games to see in person. Game 4 versus Oakland in 2006 is still #1, but last night was great.
The fact that the World Series will not start until next Wednesday is pretty stupid, especially if the Cards win tonight. Both teams ready and sitting around for 5 days? Stupid.
October 19th, 2012 at 9:31 AM
Fuck you Chip Kelly – run that shit up. I had OVER 68 – we’re at 50 at the half – WTF is a scoreless 2nd half going to do.
I did bail on the SF -7.5 and took the moneyline instead. One good move I guess.
October 19th, 2012 at 9:31 AM
Hanks best work…Bosom Buddies & Bachelor Party
October 19th, 2012 at 9:32 AM
From The Tennessean:
Asked what role coach James Franklin’s desire to drop Ohio State in favor of a more manageable non-conference schedule played in the end result, Williams said: “He is my football coach and my job is to try and make it for him and his athletes to have what they need. You can read into that whatever you choose. Some of you will read into it that we’re a giant group of pussies.”
/might have added a line
October 19th, 2012 at 9:32 AM
but teams with a dominant defense have been getting to the super bowl for decades.
true, but in the past 10 years, most of the dominant defenses that have crap qbs have not made it. there are a few exceptions, but it hasnt happened since grossman.
October 19th, 2012 at 9:32 AM
Rapieburger was dogshit the SEA Super Bowl win. That whole year he wasnt good.
he was bad in that Superbowl. He was the best player on the field in their playoff games leading up to it.
October 19th, 2012 at 9:33 AM
Fuck Bobby Knight. One of the biggest pieces of shit in sports history. Abusive, over-rated, hypocritical asshole. DIAMFF you fucking hag.

I reflect back on A&M’s blown lead against Florida, and wonder if that scenario doesn’t play out again.
Sumlin & Manziel are personalities that A&M hasn’t ever had on a team before, though, so it may play out different this time.
October 19th, 2012 at 9:34 AM

I doubt it. A&M won’t have a Heisman hopeful until they go 12-0 and win the MNC. The media dopes see only Texas & OU (and Bob Griffin) in this part of the country.

some of the older people i work with that are ags say they havent been this pumped about a qb since bucky.
October 19th, 2012 at 9:38 AM
I will be back Monday to high five the fuck outta you if it goes down this way.
I was there the last time LSU played @ A&M. My first game as a student. That was awesome, even though Corey Pullig was a complete fucking dud QB.
October 19th, 2012 at 9:38 AM
That better be tongue-in-cheek.
October 19th, 2012 at 9:38 AM
Gets a little misty in that softball game scene. I cant remember the Welsh tank scene. The DDay scene is very frantic. I realize the intent but it’s hard to take away the superb execution of the raid from it.

Bidding on any auction item with more than 10 seconds left in the bidding is a sucka move.
October 19th, 2012 at 9:39 AM
We might go….and with the NFL as it is this season, we might even win….but, that’s only if Gore and the defense carry the team there. I have zero faith in Alex winning a game for us by himself. Last season wasn’t a fluke….but the New Orleans game might have been.
October 19th, 2012 at 9:40 AM
Oh yeah. As someone who grew up there and watched that fucking piece of shit get worshipped despite assaulting young men, verbally harassing reporters and fans, and carry himself daily with a surly demeanor, there’s still at least half the state who’d welcome him back TODAY as head coach of the preseason No. 1 team.
October 19th, 2012 at 9:41 AM
If you took a survey of all black males under the age of 30, how many would tell you that baseball is their favorite sport? I don’t have the numbers, but it has to be really low.

Before my time, but I’ve heard the stories. A lot of people think Stephen McGee would’ve been Bucky if it weren’t for Franchione/Sherman.

The scuttlebutt is that SEC is going to 9-game schedule in 2014. That’s why they tabled the switching of the permanent opponents till 2014 (SC/TAMU & ARK/MIZZOU)

I was watching that game in the dorms up at MSU. When Maglio hit that bomb with two outs in the 9th, It got so loud that it felt like the building was shaking.
Going back up for the Nebraska game (Nov. 3), but I wish I could be there while the series was going on.

There’s no doubt in my mind that The Genital was behind 36-year-old Neil Reed’s untimely death.

There are enough teams out there that can score enough points that would make it difficult for Alex Smith to keep up. If the 49er’s were to somehow win the Super Bowl this year, Smith would replace Dilfer as the most mediocre QB to win the big one.

I would think to further publicly illustrate that he doesn’t give a fuck about Indiana would be a top contender. I could truly see him getting a thrill from this.

exactly, especially in the nfc.
October 19th, 2012 at 9:50 AM
Bwahahaha that is awesome
October 19th, 2012 at 9:51 AM
I was ready to argue this…so I checked Dilfer’s Wiki page….he made it to a Pro Bowl at least…..jesus….Alex hasn’t even done that.
October 19th, 2012 at 9:52 AM

okay. I still think it’s silly to say he’ll never get there when he was 2 fumbles by a kick returner away from going there last year, but whatever.
October 19th, 2012 at 9:53 AM
You do realize there is a difference between your two points, don’t you? A poll on the favorite sport has nothing to do with whether or not the brothas watch Baseball at all.
October 19th, 2012 at 9:53 AM
He did it just fine in the playoffs against the Saints following the Jake Delhomme formula: Get the ball to your best guys. Although he really only had one best guy, Vernon Davis.
October 19th, 2012 at 9:54 AM
Do any bloggers sound like Barry White?
October 19th, 2012 at 9:55 AM
yeah, he has no way of winning against, say, a record setting QB who throws for almost 500 yards against the 49ers in a playoff game…
look, i’m no 49ers fan, but that team can win on defense w/o a stellar performance from Smith. if you ask me the NFC is the 49ers, giants, bears and everyone else a good distance behind them.
October 19th, 2012 at 9:55 AM
And none of that would have mattered if it wasn’t for the bullshit quick whistle on the Bradshaw fumble.
Harbaugh knows what he’s working with. As long as Alex doesn’t do dipshit things like that red zone INT last night, we can win*.
*As long as we control the tempo of the game

/Can someone please kill Chris Dodd already
October 19th, 2012 at 9:56 AM
okay, so if everything goes perfectly for him on defense and special teams, and you have a rainy day with a muddy field to help minimize the 49er disadvantage at the QB position, he’ll have a chance to make the Super Bowl again.

Thanks for the investigative reporting, Jason.
Oops, that wasn’t from Jason.

I don’t care that Vandy dropped OSU and Northwestern. However, the fact that they did so by US MAIL, just 10 months before both games are scheduled to be played is just chicken shit.
And someone may not know Alessandra Ambrosio’s name, but how on Earth do you not recognize her? And, to make matters worse for any other woman on the face of the Earth, she had a baby about 4 months ago and looks as perfect now as she did before.

And the Niners are one of the few, if not only teams that are built on both sides of the ball to win on the road if they have to. Especially in January.
October 19th, 2012 at 10:00 AM
Giving up 18 4th quarter points and 462 passing yards went just perfectly for the defense against the Saints.
Because that never happens in January.

Franklin is doing good things there, but he’s proven he’s kind of a douche. Curious, are you a fan of either team that was cancelled?

You’ll get no argument from me. If Jerry Rice isn’t listed as the best receiver, then that list is bullshit. I’m guessing Jim Brown is the greatest RB.

I can imagine Rick Reilly’s internet explorer completely overrun with malware and has like 14 different search engines embedded in his toolbars and like 45 software shortcuts all blanketing his monitor desktop, all partially blocking a picture of himself as his background display. The picture of himself is also an odd shape so it doesnt sit centered on his screen.

Am I the only one a little disheartened by the fact that the mother just left her baby there? But yeah, the sight of the baby sprinting to the mother was awesome.
October 19th, 2012 at 10:15 AM
Apparently that was Matt Damon’s grandfather who asked the first question.

She didn’t just leave her there. She tried to sit on the car!! And during the filming the chick says the baby’s mom keeps calling to the baby.

I still think the puppies keeping the lost down’s syndrome child warm story was better than the baby elephant.
October 19th, 2012 at 10:19 AM
I also like how the elephant mom turned and stared down the cars as soon as she reunited with the baby. She was all, “Just TRY to fuck with my baby. Try it. I will end you.”
October 19th, 2012 at 10:20 AM
Elephants can communicate with low-level elctronmagnetic pulses that are inaudible to the human ear. That mom could have easily still known where the baby was. People with pacemakers and such can sometimes feel the elephants talking at zoos and such.
October 19th, 2012 at 10:20 AM
Nobody knows for sure if the puppies kept the kid warm. People are just assuming they did.

Grandmother grew up cooking with lard and eating salt, fat, etc.. lived into her 90s.
