    I admit to being extremely qualified for the job.
    One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

    I agree, his volume and soft voice make it hard to hear his entire comment and they do ramble. Harder when Nantz is waiting to start his next "joke".
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    He sounds like me if I would try announcing. Typical Wiscahnsin accent and diction. Everyone down here in Florida knows where I'm from as soon as I open my mouth. heh heh

    At least you and Tony say Wisconsin right. The guy doing TV for the Badgers yesterday was mangling it worse than Bob Griese.

    The only thing more lacking than competent NFL Game Officials is decent Broadcasting Teams.

    Colts and Cardinals tied 13 - 13. Cardinals line up for game winning FG. Colts call TO at last second. Guy makes kick. Then misses it on the second try. I really hate that TO. Bush League. They ought to do away with it.

    I agree completely. This "ice" the kicker crap really pisses me off and I love when it backfires on the coaches who do it. Who started it anyway?

    The same Bush League call cost the LA Chargers and their newly drafted Place Kicker Korean-born 'Younghoe Koo' in Week 1; and in exactly the same way. Are the Chargers cursed !?

    That Poor Young Man' missed a FG again yesterday (with 10 seconds left on the clock, Younghoe Koo just misses, wide right ) in their Game Vs Miami (Week 2) and at Home.

    Here is that miss on video, Gheeessh, I had the Chargers in my Pro Pickem':



    I checked the Media and reaction to this:

    The Cardinals this year are the after picture of what happens if you load up for a Super Bowl run and don't make it.

    Otherwise know as every team beside the Broncos.

    Poetic justice. Cardinals win in OT.

    Chargers May Not Sell Out 27,000-Seat Stadium For Opener

    They had, what, two decades to figure out how to succeed in LA and the Rams going back was the best idea they had. I think Chargers going back happened when they forgot to pay attention.

    LA is a horrible city for sports, it always has been unless the team is a champion, and it becomes a "thing" to be seen at games

    it was stupid to move one team there much less 2

    fyi, the rams game had a ton of empty seats today too

    Gronk got hurt too. Patriots are in serious receiver shortage. I wonder what Bellycheck will do.

    Pretty much everyone is inactive but Carlos Hyde. 6-6 after 3 quarters.

    Highlight: Dropped touchdown by Seattle.

    Guaranteed 9-6 or 12-9 win by Seattle. NOT must see TV; good for napping though.

    Given that SF is changing defensive schemes and ditched a couple of decent players just for fit, Seattle's offense must really suck. Looks like the Packers showing against them was nothing special.
    Fire Murphy, Gute, MLF, Barry, Senavich, etc!

    Just a typical Seattle home game, seems like it happens 3-4 times a year. They tear up the middle of the field until the 4th quarter and then get the one score they need. They actually scored early today, with about 6 minutes left, instead of on the last drive.
