    The Bengals, like the Bills, are regressing to the mean anyways. This should be a walk for the Steelers.

    I didn’t see the play, but the rule is the throw is legal if the thrower has any portion of his body behind the line. So, if he even had one toe behind the line, the throw is legal.

    Bills are letting the Cowboys build a big lead to get Romo relaxed for his traditional second half interception storm. They better be careful or they might be facing Kitna or McGee in the 4th.

    @Steeplejack: Not really. One of them is Ravens-Seachickens. So unless you want to witness a slaughter, I suggest doing something else.

    But hey the Cougs won. :)

    Huh, that shorter is supposed to read: “… we should worry more about men’s feelings.”

    Ah, well. I’m outta here for the Manhattan BJ Wines & Spirits Drinkathon. Later, friends.

    And, in fact, the majority of women in the workplace are not tender creatures and are largely adept at dealing with all varieties of uncomfortable or hostile situations. Show me a smart, competent young professional woman who is utterly derailed by a verbal unwanted sexual advance or an inappropriate comment about her appearance, and I will show you a rare spotted owl.

    Today’s women have no problem going to a job interview where the prospective employer shoves their head into his crotch and asks “Do you want this job or not?” It’s just the playful banter between the sexes that has been going on since the dawn of time.

    Feminists just have no sense of humor. Maybe why that’s why they can never get a man.

    Dang. Great effort by Mendenhall. And happy to see my old friend Jericho Cotchery doing well, but I can’t root for Rapelesburger. I just can’t.

    Go Bengals!

    Switching back and forth between two very good games. Steelers Bengals and Falcons Saints. Thankfully it’s keeping my mind off of what I learned in the last post about the cover ups at Penn St

    Yes, but supply is vasty exceeding demand, and peak fuckheadedness isn’t yet on the horizon…

    I’ve got one football game on TV right now and it’s not the Steelers game. But I do have a good choice of infomercials to watch.

    I’d really love to see the reactions of all the brave oppressed men complaining about women just being overly sensitive react to a gay boss’s slapping their butts every time they walk by their cube or grabbing their head in a taxi and asking about how badly they want a raise. Yes, I know this particular idiot (with established idiocy drilling rights clearly established) is of the other persuasion, but there is a choir she’s pole-dancing to.

    Browns have just missed a 24-yard FG to take the lead on a bad snap. It’s the 2-minute warning. This was bizarre enough to mention.

    The dome din with the muffled stadium announcer must have an hurt the coaches head too. Onside kick with 4 minutes left? Their defense that bad?

    Also too, Pat Shurmur ran three very conservative running plays with 1st and goal inside the 10 because the Rams essentially had nothing doing on offense the whole second half and he thought he had the FG–and then he didn’t. So the fans are booing now.

    @Kathy:

    So, anyone want to talk Eagle’s/Cardinals? … Yeah, me neither.

    Imagine Larry Fitzgerald on the Saints or Packers. Well, that’s not really about the game itself, but imagining much different games. This game makes the mind wander.

  42. 42.

    Joel

    @Suffern ACE: or the Patriots, Cowboys, Steelers, Panthers even. Long story short, the Cardinals are awful (yet they have a good shot at beating the Eagles right now).

    Cardinals taking the lead on Philly. Andy Reid is supposed to be a genius, but he seems to have a talent for doing less with more, more so than any other head coach that I’ve seen.

    Oh no. Fox affiliate is switching to the 49er game right in the middle of over time. What kind of crap is that

    @Raven: Can I take that to mean that the Bears won? (I have family at the game so I always like to know the outcome and the google doesn’t seem to know the result yet.)
