Well, the games are always on a Sunday night when I'm playing pool in the Pub. It is rare that I get the chance to watch it from home. In fact tonight, I'm going to miss watching the second half of my beloved Bungles as we are playing away in some shithole in Tremorfa

The Bengals have called a terrible game here. 16 points down late in the third quarter they kick a FG from the Viking 4, basically running up the white flag for the game. THen with 7 minutes to play, down by 13 they punt on a 4th and 3. Feeble. Absolutely feeble. |

Yep, do it, it's a classic and includes Carlson getting pretty animated over some of the officiating and having to apologise for his (admittedly very mild) language. |

The Packers will get a 10th win against Seattle. So yeah, 1 win is highly unlikely to get the Giants in. However, week 17 at Minnesota may sound bad but they have their division sown up and may very well be benching some players, so if the Giants are still alive after week 16 then don't completely rule out a 10-6 finish for them. |

As someone who has somewhat unwittingly turned into something of a cowboys fan over the season (aided by not being able to see any seahawks games for a long time) can I just say: Yay. (Don't lose against the redskins, please) |

The Giants result wasn't good, but the people of New York are tolerant and understanding so it will soon be forgotten. NOT! Packers clinch, Cowboys have two chances to win a game to clinch... but  at the wildcard race in the AFC, it's two from about 6 going into week 17.

a nice farewell to the stadium, eh.. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/28/sport ... ref=sports Quote: The franchise personality is one of loyalty, but times are tough and the Giants are marketing expensive seats and luxury suites in a new stadium. and the Jets got some bonus Quote: But at least some of the Jets did not even realize it when, with 5 minutes 36 seconds remaining in the third quarter, the Jets received the biggest assist of the season. That was when Colts Coach Jim Caldwell made a curious decision: he pulled Peyton Manning from the game with an undefeated season still on the line, and a victory very much in doubt, and inserted the rookie Curtis Painter, who is not even Manning’s regular backup. go new orleans! |

Wake me up when it's the new season. Pah, I mock your pain. I've now read two articles which relate the steady decline of the Raiders to the Fall of the House of Usher. Check these numbers out for Russell... Russell (w/ Oak) - 6 yrs./$61 million/$32 million guaranteed (in comparison Ryan Leaf was given a four year 31 million contract with 11 guaranteed)...oh and we don't have a first round pick for the next two years. I mock your pain. |

Well, the Bengals deserve to lose in the first round of the playoffs, as they laid down and let the Jets destroy them, even though Houston had handed them the 3rd seed on a silver plate. As low down as I thought the Bengals were, stealing Houston's first ever play-offs from them. That's just nasty. |

Watching the jets/bengals game, I'd be pretty embarrassed if I were a bengals fan right now. They either were really, really rubbish, or really cynical. It certainly appeared as if the offense were trying to lose the ball. |

| Post subject: | Re: Yankee Rules Throwball |
I'm also expecting the Bengals to beat the Jets, and that's not just fatalism talking. They're getting back a couple of defensive starters who were missing for last week's game (and, lest we forget, Cedric Benson), and if ever there was motivation to step up their game getting humiliated on national television is it. That being said, for me personally there couldn't have been a more fitting way to (probably) say goodbye to Five's single decent program in their entire history. I saw my first ever Jets win on Five (well, mostly. They actually had to stop broadcasting before the winning field goal, but STILL), and so finishing with one of the more comprehensive arse-kickings of recent memory pretty much brought things full circle. Other than John Madden I can't think of another individual who's done more to shape my NFL fandom than Mike Carlson. If Sky had any sort of sense at all they'd snap him up as their permanent third chair pronto. |

What's the story here? Everyone expects 5 not to continue with their coverage (having lost the Monday match this season). Even the presenters don't know what's going to happen so it looks like it's adios to NFL on terrestial TV, unless the beeb pick it up (fingers crossed). I have no idea what the NFL is doing, they want two or more matches in the UK, possibly even site a franchise here (unlikely me thinks in the medium to long term) but this last season we've had less access on either terrestial or digital to NFL content than at any other point in the last decade. |

Five is giving up on sports in general I think. They dropped their very well-received MLB coverage out of the blue this season without losing the rights to anything, I guess they just don't consider night hawks and immigrants worth catering to any more. Fortunately the internet cures all ills. |

Stupid Bungles. They make me cross. That offense needs seriously sorting out - an improved line and better WRs and Palmer needs a kick up the arse. Ah well, I have no emotional involvement in the rest of the season, so I guess I can enjoy it now... |

Plus they knocked out the Pats, which has got to be a good thing) Cardinals (Well, I chose three other teams beginning with a C, so I may as well go for the lot. Not fussed here) |
