Does this make any sense to anyone at all?

I can't imagine Dmitroff spending any serious coin on tailbacks anymore once Turner's let go.

Draft a guy (that can catch) that can pound to team up with Quizz. We're a passing team now, after all, and TB is commoditized in this league.

WTF, how do I make Madden fun on Defense.

if you're just playing the computer:

-bring your left end from one side to the other before the snap

-rush 3 and see how many picks you can get in a game

-randomly run FG block

They waited til his contract ran out and didn't renew it. He has been suspended since the comments.

Packers aren't going to draft a running back in the first round. Give me a break.

Haven't seen Lacy in any first round mocks. I'm sure everyone would love him as a 3rd round pick or something. Only silly teams waste first round picks on RB

That's true.

Man, I hope Turner is fresh and ready to go get about 150 yards Sunday. I'd love to see some of those Falcon clock killing drives.

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
Posted yet? Chris Kluwe's message to QA testers:

http://trenchescomic.com/tales/post/it-aint-all-fame-and-fortune

Submitted by: Anonymous punter for the MN Vikings, first initial Chris, last initial Kluwe

You want to hear some shit? Let me tell you about my average day. It starts off with waking up at 6:45 in the morning, which is waaaaaay before the sun comes up, which means it’s cold. Real cold. So cold that the steering wheel heater in my BMW takes at LEAST five minutes to warm up. Sometimes I even have to hit the three zone seat heater, which is not a step I take lightly. That thing chews right through ultra-premium gas.

Once the climate problems are dealt with, I have to fight my way through ten, maybe fifteen minutes of light traffic. Occasionally there’s an accident, some person in an Oldsmobile or something, and I have to drop down to 55mph. Let me tell you, there is nothing more depressing than driving past a broken down minivan filled with screaming children, and you can only do 55. Just awful.

Finally I get to work. My clothes are freshly laundered and hung in my locker, but the industrial strength drying machine they use sometimes shrinks my pants and I have to ask for a new pair. They always give me some, but it’s just so humiliating to actually have to talk to the equipment managers. Rarely, they’ll make eye contact, and what am I supposed to do then? Acknowledge them? Pretend to remember their names?

After that disaster, the only way to calm myself down is to head up to the cafeteria and order some freshly made pancakes and scrambled egg whites, but the kitchen staff create a very hostile environment. They also put out biscuits, gravy, waffles, hashbrowns, thick cut bacon, thin cut bacon, sausage patties, a fruit and yogurt bar, a cereal stand, croissants, english muffins, bacon, and fully made breakfast sandwiches. How am I supposed to look at all that and eat healthy at the same time? Some people just don’t get it.

Once breakfast is out of the way (and I’ve been forced to bus my own dishes over to the dishwasher), it’s time for meetings. These last for an agonizing forty five minutes before I can finally escape, and if I fall asleep during the meetings I get yelled at. It’s so unfair - don’t they know how early I had to wake up? Then I have to somehow find a way to fill the next two hours before lunch; usually the only option is to play dominos, but sometimes I lose and that really sucks. It’s super hard to stay focused in at work once you lose a domino game. It can ruin your entire day.

After lunch (with its measly selection of four different entrees, three side courses, a salad bar, a sandwich bar, a dessert bar, and an ice cream freezer) there’s another hour of dead time that I’m supposed to fill. Usually I’ll sneak into the equipment room and read the paper, but the couch there is getting old and the dryers are moderately loud so it’s a less than ideal environment. It’s really hard to focus on the crossword puzzle with a dryer rattling around. Other times I’ll go take a nap in the lounge, but there’s only the two couches so if it fills up quickly it’s a real bummer.

Then comes the worst part of the day: practice. I have to actually put on my cleats and go punt a football for THIRTY MINUTES.

Thirty minutes. I’ll let that sink in a little bit.

Don’t make the mistake of thinking that I’m done when the punting ends either - then I have to go inside and pretend to lift weights so I can sit down. The coaches don’t let us sit down on the field, and I think you’ll all agree that that’s basically indentured servitude. I’m considering filing an OSHA complaint.

After all that grueling work, practice finally ends and I have to hurry up and head home at three so I can avoid traffic. Exhausting. My only relief is to sit on the couch and play games until midnight to unwind from the stress.

So when you video game testers think you have it hard, in your air conditioned rooms with your fancy electronics, take a minute and think about us poor NFL punters. We deal with the real shit, out in the real world. Our trenches run deep.

Willis Mcgahee is practicing again. I am looking forward to them having a one-two punch to run over Ray Lewis' mechanical, rusty arm. Mcgehee was less flashy than Moreno, but he still manages more per drive. Hard to know who will be the broncos top runner.

McGahee is not eligible to play this game. He is eligible for the AFC Championship if we make it. I'm not entirely sure he would play though.

:jnc i love shit like this

If an NFL-GAFFER ever made it to the NFL this is the type of behavior i would expect. Likely from Eznark... except more shots at filthy poors

Kluwe is as close to GAF as it gets.
I'll not forget the time he guest starred on Kat Bailey's RPG podcast to talk about WoW.

Ray Guy is from this area of Georgia, he said (to a friend) it was kind of boring since he only had to work once in a while during the games. Especially when the Raiders played the cold weather teams, the sideline was cold and miserable.
Poor Ray, he sold his SB rings in 2011 for $96,000.

At the 1976 Pro Bowl, Guy became the first punter to hit the Louisiana Superdome video screen. Officials raised the screen from 90 feet to 200 feet. The NFC team pulled the ball and had it tested for helium; it was filled with regular air.
