We're only gonna score 17 points?

Can Eli even count to 17, or is he so inbred over the generations that he thinks the number after 10 is jell-o? edit: just realized that joke was subconsciously ripped from Chris Rock. Must be noted as such.

You're right, this country would be fucked if you multiplied me by a gazillion.

You are aware it's a football game and not a math contest, correct?

The D line for the Giants won that game for them. I give props to those guys, not Eli. And you're right, it's not a math contest. But when Eli is being discussed on ESPN as an early-season MVP candidate with 11 interceptions, something's not right. The team is doing well because of the defense, not the moron under center. Helen Keller would throw fewer than 11 picks to this point in the season.

By the way, it's always great bullshitting with you kids. I'm tired of talking football with people who all agree on stuff.

I think something like 7 of this first 10 interceptions were passes that hit the hands of the receiver.

Dammit Cliffy, why do you always have to poke holes in my theories?

I was going to respond the same way.

Well, the better team did win that day. Okay, I just said that to piss of Pats fans. And yes, if we had won, it would have been a gazillion years of shit talking. It would be the Pats spreading butt cheeks over all 31 other teams for at least the rest of my lifetime.

Fixed.

I still think the jets suck and have next to no shot of coming out of the AFC. stranger things have happened, but I'm not sold. I'm looking forward to wagering heavily against sanchez in the playoffs...even though this strategy backfired big time for me last year.

I like the Giants as underdogs. I.e., 2008 playoffs.

Nice. The Giants D is brutal to opponents lately.

i think the Bears prediction is pretty much spot on with the start of the season and that was an middle of the pack year with the Bears missing the playoffs for the 4th straight year and the coaching/gm staff getting the heave ho.

but yeah, it would be nice to be in the playoff picture discussion.

sports guy. he's only worth reading on fridays during football season for gems like this:

(Quick tangent: Of all the weird things that happened during Moss' career, wasn't his blowup about the chicken/ribs/beef spread from the St. Paul caterer the single weirdest? My buddy Jacoby and I dissected this saga for 10 minutes this week, repeatedly wondering the same thing: Has anyone in the history of mankind ever complained about a chicken/ribs/beef spread before? Let's give Moss the benefit of the doubt and say it was terrible ... how terrible could it have possibly been for him to flip out? Equal to prison food? Worse than prison food? Did Moss have exceptionally high standards for a chicken/ribs/beef spread? Is there anyone in your life who would flip out on someone who just provided them with free food? Did he catch a whiff of the Favre-Childress duo for three weeks and decide to sabotage his way out of Minnesota any way he could? And how could I possibly LIKE the waiver claim by Tennessee -- and I did -- after typing everything in this paragraph???)
