Another Sunday without football. There are too many of these. Screw 18 game seasons. Let's go for 32, double the number of playoff teams, and make each round a best 2 out of 3.

That should pretty much fill out the entire year.

I have to say if Europe had US marketing and network executives, there's no way in the world they wouldn't have England/France on today. Putting it on a Monday really limits the potential audience.

I also kind of wonder how ESPN makes money on this. There's no commercials, and I doubt they get a cut of all the advertising in the stadium and on the players.

Isn't there a different thread for this shit?

Better not crowd out all the exciting NFL news.

Stopping the Spain offensive play must be daunting. I would hate to be a defender against them

It's better than pages and pages of Freeman joke/you people/racist or "GO EAT A BAG OF DICKS CAUSE I DON'T GIVE A FUCK BIIIIIIIIIIIIIITCH!" posts

But if it really offends you, we can instead gossip about Tebow getting invited to Jets West or ponder if Chad Ochocinco will ever get his Starbucks Gold Card back.

They do the Wave over in Europe too? When will that piece of crap die the miserable death it deserves?

Of course. We also call it "The La Ola Wave", which is so ridiculously redundant it makes me smile.

Protip: don't take fan tips from one of the worst sports fans on GAF. Six team Squicken shouldn't be giving advice.

Second: DWADE!!!

As old as the Fatman/you people thing has gotten it is magnitudes more entertaining than soccer.

They're considered a national team. No matter how much they suck, the league makes sure to put them on primetime a few games a year. I probably should have added the Saints, but they'll be getting reamed all year so he would have earned his fanship.

Yeah they're a national team, but when somebody spins the lifelong roulette the Bears don't come up anywhere near as often as those other teams.

They're from a big market, but I'd never put them in the same category as the other teams you listed.

I will then change my answer to trying to steer him away from rooting for Jay Cutler and giving up on the sport after 10 minutes.

btw this Italy Spain game is 100 times better than the Netherlands and Germany games. Clearly the EU problems really are from the northern countries conspiring against their innocent southern neighbors

Ok what the hell...so Nike took over the NFL jerseys now? and We can't buy Authentic Jerseys anymore? the hell...

 

[brentech]

Some NFL player/gaming stuff:

Players pick their favorite "oldschool" games.

Okay, that starts to make me feel a little old.
"My favorite old school game...."
2 name Goldeneye and 1 says Mario Kart 64.
I guess I just forget these dudes coming into the league are actually 90's babies. I'm not THAT much older than them, but fuck.

Holy shit why are so many Eagles' fans at the Euro Cup?

Analyzing every detail of Slo's Allen Plate pic is more entertaining than soccer.

Reminds me of when someone asked Soulja Boy what his favorite oldschool hip hop song was. His answer?

"In Da Club"

I think today we should focus on Jared's bedroom eyes.

Yup, which is why all jersey designs are going to be at least somewhat different starting this season.

Nike NFL is the new UFL.

 

[Bowser]

Speaking of new uniforms, looks like EA might've leaked a new Panthers alternate look:

One step closer to all black unis!

 

[brentech]

As ESPN.com points out, the Packers opted not to go along with the new changes. The primary alterations did not change the logo, color scheme or much else with the look of the uniform, rather Nike made changes to the fabric, feel and performance of the jersey.

Yet, the Packers aren't going along with those either. "The Green Bay Packers have chosen to stay with their traditional design aesthetic as well as their former uniform fabrication for the coming season," the Packers' page on Nike.com reads. "In addition to serving as the Packers on-field supplier for uniforms, sideline apparel, practice wear and baselayer, Nike will provide both men's and women's fan wear apparel."

In fact, a Packers spokesperson told ESPN.com that the only change in the Packers' uniforms next season will be the Nike logo in place of where the Reebok logo used to be. Reebok had been the apparel supplier of the NFL until this year.

I haven't followed it much since the preview, but I don't think many teams allowed much of any change.

Did they not have black pants before?

Nope, just black tops

They didnt but I HATE the collar on the Texans jersey:

It was 1/4 that wide on the reebok jerseys.

Cool. All black will be bad ass.

 

[Bowser]

Cool. All black will be bad ass.

Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of mixing a silver helmet, blue tops and black pants, but if this is a real alternate then we just need black helmets for the all black uni dream to come true.

They can just borrow the Ravens uniform.

Has there ever been a good South Park game? As far as I remember they have all been total crap.

Agree on the black unis.

All black always looks great.

Not black pants though. I think only the Ravens have an all black.

Falcons used to have all black as well:

Been years since they've worn this though.

 

[Fox318]

Why would you want a team outdoors in the south to wear all black?

Players will get hot as hell.

 

[brentech]

Ordered my Vita. Gotta pick up MLB The Show. Only baseball I enjoy video games and actually playing it.

Prometheus pissed me off. It's dialogue was corny and the storytelling treated the audience like they were retarded.

Dont get me wrong, it was solid. But as a R. Scott movie it severely disappointed me.

Spoiler

Things I hated:

The "This is just my job, I didnt sign on for this" geologist.

The "biologist" who acted like a child and was cooing, "oye baaaybe" at the snake monster

Complete lack of build up. Everything that happened was pretty much resolved 5-10 minutes later.

Things I liked:

David. Interesting character.

Art direction.

The camera work was great for the most part.

 

[Buckethead]

I liked it but yeah it was frustrating.

Yeah that was absolutely horrible.

If they thought nobody figured that out, thats a damn shame. A damn shame.

That's the worst part of the movie for me.

It spells out the completely or relatively obvious but leaves the most difficult questions of life up to interpretation and debate.

Fuck off Lindelof.
