NFL is BACK! Let's Go!!!!

Welcome to 2017




It should be mandatory that the Bills are at home in Week 1 of every season. We also should consider doing the draft in Buffalo the night before, abandoning all guys playing the first Thursday night, and tailgate for the game Sunday.

What else was #BillsMafia up to Sunday?



Casual wedding. Duh nuh nuh nuh nuh (the bo$$, the bo$$).




It was a very wild football Sunday despite the unbelievable lack of points. I actually found myself yelling something I don't believe I ever yelled before on a Sunday.

After an Eagles TD to extend their lead to 11, Doug Pederson decides to go for 2, sending me into an absolute frenzy. I'm SCREAMING

"TIME OUT!!! SOMEBODY HELP HIM!! DOUG!! NO!!! SOMEBODY GAVE HIM THE WRONG CHART!! HELP HIM!!" Despite my yelling, he refused to cease. The Eagles went for two and ultimately got it. But it's still the wrong call. Details emerged Monday afternoon that the Eagles' idiot kicker injured himself and was unavailable. As BG put it, "The sad thing is that everyone assumed he was that dumb". That's who we've got. At least he's not Ben McAdoo. This guy:




The best performance of Sunday, however, was the wizardry of Tony Romo. You have to listen to this. Absolute must.




Interesting conversation at work today, that got me thinking. Somebody asked another guy if he saw the games yesterday. Guy responds "I'm boycotting the NFL It's a bad product. I saw the scores though." So you're... not boycotting? If you're looking at scores and know who won and who lost, you're interested.

As much as I've complained about football being terrible in the past, nobody is giving up the NFL. Doesn't matter how many guys turn into vegetables. Every Texans tight end was concussed on Sunday. Doesn't matter how many penalties they call. Doesn't matter that there are probably 15 serviceable QBs on 32 teams. The stadiums are always packed. Fans are animals. There was a Browns party at the bar I was at. A guy had to be CARRIED OUT of the bar at 3:10 PM. That's insane! That's how bad people want football.

I mean, look at Dosh at the BC game on Saturday:



Guy can't get enough he's so hype.

Friday morning, the league had their email spammed by 2016 runner-up and 2017 #1 pick holder, Phil Imbesi. He was crowing, if you will. Ezekiel Elliott had been cleared of wrongdoing by a court, claiming his employer couldn't suspend him for pulling out a woman's titty mere seconds before she intended to do the same thing. Or was it the false allegations by a jealous ex. I don't know. But apparently this revelation led Phil to believing he was destined for a title.

How does karma bite back? David Johnson, #1 overall pick. Injured. Could be out for the season. I love the guy. I had him last year. But that's some karma right there. Never count your chickens before they hatch in the EFFL.

Look at this headline:

http://www.rotoworld.com/headlines/nfl/362741/rams-extend-face-of-franchise-johnny-hekker?ls=roto:NFL:topheadlines

"Rams extend face of franchise Johnny Hekker". He's the fucking punter! This team has #1 overall pick from last year Jared Goff. They have Todd Gurley. They have Sammy Watkins (fuck you). And the face of the franchise is the punter?!?!? That tells you all you need to know about the state of the Rams. You can also look at pictures of their attendance, which is terrible.

It's time

Beef of the Week: Al Michaels

I know what you're thinking: This can't be the beef of the week again. It can't be true. Oh, but it is. The same fucking thing every year. Giants Sunday night game. He refuses to pronounce the word Manning correctly. Just refuses to do it! It's deja vu all over again. They have a video package where every player introduces himself to the millions of drunk fans watching. He pronounces his own name exactly how it's pronounced. And then Al Michaels just continues to say it differently for the duration of the game.

It's wrong! I just don't understand. What's your name? Matt Atallian. Alright, we've got Matt Himalayan here. How does he not get in trouble for this?

But Mr. Himalayan and I talked. The NBC Cris and Al broadcast has truly gotten so stale to the point of unwatchable. Michaels is senile and offers absolutely nothing in the way of understanding. Collinsworth has the same stupid comments week after week. The jingle sucks. I don't care for Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk. Tony Dungy is bland. Rodney Harrison is bland. It's just a poor broadcast all around, and if anyone starts someone during Sunday Night Football against me, you will immediately be docked in the power rankings.

And what the fuck is ESPN doing? Going from Donovan McNabb to Rex Ryan in a span of 3 minutes? How is this possible?A

Power Rankings

I'm gonna keep it short this year. Power Rankings always take the most time to write as I say the same shit about your team week after week.

1. The King's Crusaders (1-0) - Previous: 1
Best team heading into the season performed the best. No reason to reconsider.

2. Pork Chop Express (1-0) - Previous: 6
I said it was risky. But before the guys get injured, it looks good. Same as every year. I'll move you down as more guys get hurt.

3. Team Bartholomew (1-0) - Previous: 9
I may have been a bit harsh. But probably correct. Like Ben, I expected you to be strong to start. Gurley and Lynch looked like a good combo so far.

4. Bo$$town Cutter (1-0) - Previous: 3
Lost Ajayi in Week 1 to Irma and still looked good. Didn't even get a solid performance from Brady. Still like it.

5. Old Ball Sack (0-1) - Previous: 12
Some players with potential. Got slammed by Woody. That sucks. I think you'll be OK.

6. Dueling Pylons (0-1) - Previous: 4
Felt like a really shitty performance despite being near the top or middle of points for the week. Things should get better.

7. A Lot O'Tatz (0-1) - Previous: 11
Another season-ending injury already. Just a bad week. I think you have plenty of good players.

8. Tequila Party Gnomes (0-1) - Previous: 5
Living and dying with the Redskins. Rawls is just about back. Gruden loves Kamara. Still could use some help via waiver wire.

9. Tiny Hands (1-0) - Previous: 8
I need to analyze this team going forward. No David Johnson and not getting 30 points from a defense is going to put a big dent in this team.

10. Team BG (1-0) - Previous: 7
Same as Phil. Losing Allen Robinson sucks. But the Patriots will probably be better in every single game. Carr looked good. Pryor looked good.

11. QB Carousel (0-1) - Previous: 2
I have no clue what I was looking at after the draft. I think there are going to be a lot of weeks where you fail to break 80 points. It's 10:30 PM Monday night, and your 3 QBs have combined for 9 fantasy points.

12. TITTY (0-1) - Previous: 10
Snead suspended. Now Woodhead out for a long time. Chris Hogan and Eric Decker is not going to get it done. And if DeMarco is washed up, could be in a world of hurt. I'm concerned.

13. Geno 911 (1-0) - Previous: 13
Team was just as bad as expected. I love that your opponent, with you in Peru, was able to change his lineup, but you were not.

14. Stanky Monkeys (0-1) - Previous: 14
Eddie Lacy is already benched. Brandon Marshall was, in fact, a bad pick. I remain concerned with so many players on bad teams.


We'll be back with more blog next week. Hope you enjoyed your morning commute or BM.
