NFL Week 3

[Guest Felonies!]

See, "Beautiful Day." That's what you play when you resurrect a stadium from being a bowl of human waste. Not some Bush-bashing shit.

ITS A BEAUTIFUL DAY WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Slayer]

The American Idiot cd will never die.

I thought that was getting regular rotation in your Escort

[devo]

And now they're going to play a football game? Wow!

[snuffbox]

Heh?

[HarleyQuinn]

According to some reports I've read, QB Bruce Gradkowski (a guy I was high on in the draft) should be starting Week 5 while Chris Simms remains injured. He's in the same mold as Jeff Garcia/Drew Brees for anybody needing a comparison.

[Guest Felonies!]

I would've gone with "Desire," "When Love Comes To Town," and "Beautiful Day," and told the 35-year-old emo co-opters to go fuck themselves. I just like U2 a lot, though.

[snuffbox]

Really milking it now...

[Hawk 34]

Really, what song from Green Day's catalouge fit the situation? None. They had no point in playing other then being a trendy act that ESPN booked.

[Edwin MacPhisto]

Would it have killed Tirico to just say "resilience"? I know "resiliency" is technically a word, but it's a shitty word.

I don't particularly like either band very well, but at least U2 doesn't look like a bunch of guys who'd be getting donut-punched at the Oz up the street from the 'Dome.

 

Seriously... Eyeliner and goth makeup on a punk band? Pillowbiters.

[devo]

Man, it'd be nice if the Falcons just destroyed the Saints tonight. Not that I have anything against New Orleans; it'd just be really funny, is all.

Kayne West should have played and wrote a special song for the occasion.

U2 makes perfect sense, a jazz act would have made perfect sense, Green Day made ZERO sense and shouldn't have been allowed in the city.

[teke184]

Man, it'd be nice if the Falcons just destroyed the Saints tonight. Not that I have anything against New Orleans; it'd just be really funny, is all.

 

They won't do that...

 

They (either the NFL or ESPN themselves) called the Witness Protection Program and booked the refs from that Oregon-Oklahoma game in order to keep the Saints in the game.

[Guest Felonies!]

Well, at least U2 had that "we're obsessed with America" trilogy of albums, and even though they were focused on Memphis, they're at least on the right river, so they have some credibility. Green Day only manages to capture the zeitgeist of middle school.

[teke184]

Was that Garrett Morris on-screen when they cut to a commercial break?

 

I know he's from New Orleans, which is about the only reason I'd expect him to make a random appearance on-screen.

[Hawkius Maximus]

I don't think the Seahawks losing Alexander is going to hurt them too much.

 

I know that sounds silly to say, since almost the only thing you hear out of Seattle from the team is about Shaun Alexander...Problem is, Shaun wasn't a huge force during the post season last year, including getting knocked out of Seattle' first PO game with a concussion. Hasselbeck picked up the ball and ran with it. During the regular season, Shaun was a huge force but I think Seattle's proved their capable of winning games without Shaun.

 

On their first three games this season, it hasn't been Shaun doing most of the work rushing. It's mostly been Morris and Strong. Shaun has a great ability to power in there, then run like hell, but he's good because of Seattle's line. Seattle's not great because of Shaun.

 

Now, if Hasselbeck keeps getting banged up on games (Near the end of Giants/Seattle he had hurt ribs and his arm seemed to be bothering him from a Giant's pass block when they hit his arm), WITH Shaun being out? Seattle's fucked.

 

Well, they probably are already, but it's good to hope.

[MFer]

Let the Reggie Bush suckfest begin!

[Guest]

I want Reggie Bush to have 200 yards and 5 touchdowns.

[snuffbox]

Springsteen would have fit in the moment better, and is probably far more popular with the NFL's demographic than Green Day.

 

I should mention that I enjoy (though not as much as when I was younger) a large amount of Green Day's earlier material, and thought American Idiot was decent/fun pop crap when I first heard it...but it was run really deep into the ground almost two years ago. They just seem so desperate to fit in these days, and playing in tonight's setting was awful. Gotta clear that up before resident librarian Slayer comes in here with a dozen links to stuff I might've posted about American Idiot in 2004 to back up his bizarre Escort joke.

 

And they're nearing 40.

[teke184]

Let the Reggie Bush suckfest begin!

 

I need to see if YouTube has the proper clip from Oz to commermorate the occasion...

[snuffbox]

Hey, they did get Allen Toussaint.

[devo]

Hey, there's Allan Touissaint!

[Guest Felonies!]

Boy, this sounds Casioriffic. They couldn't roll out a real piano?

[Hawk 34]

ESPN was 2/3 with the musical acts. At least it wasn't Pink, right?

[snuffbox]

Consider yourself lucky to at least get an actual NOLA musician on screen.

[Guest Felonies!]

Much like Berman calls the NFC North the Norris Division, can we rename the NFC South the Blowjob Division? Between Reggie Bush, the city of New Orleans, STEVE SMITH STEVE SMITH STEVE SMITH, Jake DAYLIGHT COME YOU GOTTA DELHOMME AH HA HA, Chris Simms, Jon Gruden, and Michael Vick, it's just a lot of slobber.

[Guest]

Did anyone hear Berman's Josh Scobee nickname last night.

[snuffbox]

Still fucking milking the hype teet...

[teke184]

Bocephus is back
