Or the way plummer coughs up the ball when you ... sneak up on him from behind.
O-line play is always under-rated. You forget this until you watch a football game from ground level, and realize most quarterbacks can barely see over their lineman from the pocket. It's all about timing and passing lanes.
The Bud ads which feature the dweebie guy who needs stunt equipment in order to do things like listen to his implausibly hot girlfriend are the most offensive I've ever seen.
Right, clearly, he got run down. But that's part of what made it so great -- they still scored, and thus it was False Hope for the Pats fans.
Anyway, clearly Plummer and Bailey are the most over-rated of the Underrated Broncos.
Oh, I get it. 2 picks, 1 fumble... it's the Flu.
That's handy. If you're a QB, your PR strategy before any big game has to be ... "I've got the flu." If you fail, then you were sick. If you win, then you're Bret Favre. No harm either way.
I haven't seen it, but I definitely know all the little things. ... yeah, it's the details in that ad, that make it Comedy Gold. The "my brother" line gets everyone, but I like the way he slaps that other guy on the ass. It's lal funny.

and yeah, the int last week was sweet, but i mean, he got run down!
Posted by tweedledopey | Link to this comment | 01-22-06 3:47 PM
Right, clearly, he got run down. But that's part of what made it so great -- they still scored, and thus it was False Hope for the Pats fans.
Anyway, clearly Plummer and Bailey are the most over-rated of the Underrated Broncos.
Oh, I get it. 2 picks, 1 fumble... it's the Flu.

Clearly this game wasn't designed -- it evolved.
There's too much useless cruft in the rules, terms and quirks that are relics of earlier, older, more primitive games embedded in its play and description, to look at a game of this complexity and assume it was designed.

Tia, people thought that it's bad taste when I hoped for the team plane to crash, so I now just pray for both teams to lose.
I'm a football burnout. I used to be something of a fan. Ja, the fact that I used to be a Vikings fan has something to do with it, all right.

I actually found myself intrigued my something sports-related, and it turned out to be a red herring. Damn you Emerson!

I was 0-2 for today, but still I'll hazard a guess: Seattle over Da Burgh.

Well, that was just disgraceful. Bill Simmons goes 0-12 over the last 12 games predicting Panthers' games. I should have known we were fucked when he picked us to advance. Asshole.
Pittsburgh 27, Seattle 17.

But he was right about Kobe giving up his only chance to score 80 points in a game.
