Eminem is kind of annoying but some of his songs are alright. But then there is stuff like Fack which my coworkers told me about and that is awful shit.

The FCC should make themselves useful for once in their lives and ban that putrid new Taylor Swift song from the airwaves.

Some Dallas stats.

The Cowboys rush on 1st down 71% of the time. They average 5.2 yards per rush on first down. You want to get a 4+ yard average on first down run or pass.* I think the trend in the league was moving towards the quick passing game (high percentage passes) to get those 4+ yards on first down, so with Dallas gaining those yards running ball is a bit old school.

*In a coaching clinic Brian Billick talked about statistical factors (based on different studies on the game) that are conducive to winning. Things like winning the turnover battle, number of explosive plays etc. Averaging 4+ yards on first down is also one of those factors.

I hate being that guy but I found out my mother has cancer today.

She is already a survivor of a massive stroke, and worked her whole life to the bone to raise my sister and myself. She doesn't deserve this. Nobody does.

Wish her luck please. Life really isn't about all this.

Fuck :'(

Hoping for the best. Stay strong.

Fuck the Broncos.

Getting saltier every week.

Chargers got jobbed.

Peyton is a cunt that hates his fans.


Anyhow:

He's apart of those peeps that think Eminem fell off. So we definitely disagree in that regard. Honestly I stay away from Gaf-Hop or any other internet message board related hip hop community cause I just don't like their opinions.

Em did fall off, but his classics and lyricism forever changed the game.

But I grew up on West Coast G funk and listening to classics from Wu Tang to Nas to Outkast. Gafhop is miles ahead of any orher hip hop community though. Go to the Coli or KTT and see the 4chanish garbage posted.

Onto the Restoration of the Roar.

Lions started planning for the Falcons weeks ago

Not only are the Lions five hours ahead of you right now, they’re also weeks ahead in terms of game-planning for the Falcons.

According to Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press, the Lions adjusted the way they prepared for this game because of the time difference and travel lag. In addition to talking to military officers and a sleep specialists about the adjustment, they also changed the way they prepared a game-plan.

Coaches were given the option of staying late on Fridays and Saturdays, typically the shortest afternoons of the week, to work ahead on Falcons tape as opposed to cramming this week while they were flying and getting adjusted to the new schedule.

(Jets quarterback Geno Smith was not apparently consulted on this.)

“It does take quite a bit of preparation and time and you hope it doesn’t take away from the preparation of the present team that you were playing,” Caldwell said. “And I don’t think it hurt us a bit in that regard.”

In fact, the Lions have won two in a row, so any time they took away from previous weeks to get ready for the Falcons was obviously not a hindrance.

That allowed them to set up shop at a resort there, and have what amounts to a normal week of practice.

“You always have a few glitches here and there, but for the most part, it’s in place,” Caldwell said. “We have to work through a few bugs and I think we’ve gotten those worked out. But the difference is, anytime you relocate it’s bit of a challenge, right, logistically? But if you can adapt and adjust, you’ll be better for it. Our guys adjust very, very well.”

They didn’t talk to players about the Falcons at all until this week, but the fact coaches were willing to buck the “one game at a time” mantra shows an impressive flexibility on Caldwell’s part.

I love this coaching staff. Glad I was wrong about Whisenhunt.

There's no reason the Broncos shouldn't slaughter the Pats next week.

Pats hung around last year due to Broncs poor defense. Not as much of an issue this year. I don't buy that stadium garbage outside of uncontrollable factors like crowd noise and weather conditions which Denver should be prepared for anyway.
I am praying for an unusual cold front to blanket New England for the game.
Only noodle arm PeyPey is going to give us a chance.

That said, this Denver defense made Geno look good, so meh.

Bears scare me a lot.
Forte, Bennett, Marshall and Jeffrey are the ultimate Pats match up nightmares.

That's my experience. A lot of people from apartments do it. Mainly I think because apartment dwellers are single, hate kids and don't give out candy.
Sometimes you'll see a minivan pull up with what seems like 70-80 kids. That's when you panic, because there's no way you prepared for that many kids. My solution for a while was to reach into my empty bowl, pretend to put something in the bag, while grabbing a few candies from the kid's bag. You can get through the night doing that. It's not the greatest feeling, but it works.

I love all the people reacting to this in the Halloween Trick or Treat thread.

No its an anime shirt.

Say what?

I was just joking. If you looked at my post of Belichick a few posts before, I said he looked like a young Homer. So I just thought it was funny if I said the same for your pic.

Geno did okay against our defense,190 yards 2TDs and an int, but they only scored 17 points. In my mind, anything less than 20 is something I'd take every time.

Dameshek is the worst football comedian given a microphone in years. Worse than Caliendo, worse than the idiot FOX has now, worse than Shannon Sharpe.
