NFL Whining
 

Put yours here, especially if its colored by who your rooting for.

Sanders gets fined for faking an injury at Cincinnati to avoid using a timeout. I can support that fine, but when Cruz fakes a head injury in NY to get a free touchdown, I've got that old home team gets the calls feeling.

Thursday/Sunday/Monday Night football are all too late at night. Thankfully I have a job to go to but it requires that I be sharp, Pittsburgh plays game after game of weird hours football. No thank you NFL, I'll take all my games Sunday afternoon.

Ok. In living color, or whatever color links are for you:

When the officials stole the game from the Seahawks and gave it to the Steelers, I was pretty upset. Wait, is it still whining if it's true?

Yeah, I'm still bitter, when I can manage to summon any feeling about football whatsoever.

I must have missed that game. ;)

riiiiight.

I think you need the "official" smiley, the one with both eyes closed.

Agree!

As for whining: The 2012 Philadelphia Eagles. Need I say more?

Again with the night football... Imma go to bed.

hmmm... now I'm hooked fer a bit.

NFL Whining
 

It exists.

You'll get over it.

You'll be dead!!!

Can the Eagles resign? Please?

Have I mentioned that Dan & I are going to all the Eagles games as Volunteers with MADD... of all the friggin seasons - seriously!
Looooooooooooooose out =New coaches and Excellent draft pick ... Hmm maybe this belongs in that silver lining somethingorother thread.

Any chance Dierdorf could just ignore the soon to retire murder bird, nope. Apparently the Jesus rehab is complete and he's now the grand old man of the league, who knew?

Stupit 9ers

Sorry Jim, 49ers were the first team I've rooted for to win this playoff season. At least I know who to root in the Superbowl, hmmm... Murderers v Cheaters for AFC title yippee <groan>.

Yeah, well. I don't like ANY of the final four...pulling for the Ravens because Flacco is jersey boy, and my sister and her husband like them.

Flacco is a real talent and not a rapist so he's got that going for him.

ok. Harbaugh Bowl is on. That's kinda cool.

Yep! Brother vs. brother!! Think about it...who knows better how a guy is gonna think/react than his own brudduh. They know each other's thoughts and thought processes. This could be awesome.

Never happened before, prolly never happen again.

I'm rooting for SanFran, btw, if for no other reason than maybe Ray Lewis loses the last game he will ever play. Also, Jim Harbaugh qb'd for my Bears, and coached at WKU, just up the road, for a minute.

Also, SanFran has never lost a Super Bowl.

Can you believe that ESPN is gonna put Ray Lewis on Monday Night Football?

maybe like Siragusa... down on the sidelines?

Well, now, I just hadn't gotten that far.

I was so taken aback, all I could picture was Lewis up there at the desk, like Michael Strahan (who pleasantly surprised me, I might add).

I really can't bitch too much...I don't even watch MNF.

On the Harbaugh front, here's a good story on how the Harbaugh brudders used their NFL connections to help their dad, Jack, build up WKU's football program.

I'm not whining, because i am no fan of the ravens...but the night the lights went out in N'orleans seems to be faring well for the niners.

Plenty of game left, but it sure got good.

So far i am not impressed by the commercials. I think Beyonce is awesome. That is all, for now.

Beyonce fabulous! Best Commercial > Dodge Ram

Weirdest Super Bowl Evar

Upside - - we have a new statistical category "... Since power outage"

oh and I forgot:

I ain't cleaning that up [/Berta]

There were a lot of WTF moments in that game

Whoa! You are right Big V: since the power outage. I was really rooting for the niners. It was a good game.

Fave commercial: the clydesdale baby that guy gave up and the parade...

Always the clydesdales. :)

They can bag that disgusting go daddy commercial any time now. The slurps are just too gross!

Thus is not whining.... I'm glad the ravens held on to the win. That power outage seriously altered the momentum of the game. Had the niners won, there would have been whining.

There would have been huge whining, for sure.

If god is with ya...

Blech.

All I can say is, I wish I could make the last two minutes of sex last as long as the last two minutes of the superbowl.

Loosen your grip. :p:

pretty sure Jesus hit the lights

Holy short!


I mean, He's a carpenter, right? dafaq does He think He is doing messing with the switches?

That commercial?

65 takes.

Smartest ginger nerd evah.

:hugnkiss:

It was disgusting. I've said it before, hearing other people's fucky kissy slurps is like smelling someone else's farts. I mean, it's fine if they're your own.

But that's all Godaddy can do: appeal to men's pants. I thought it was the shit stupidest commercial they've ever done. And nasty, to boot.

:vomit:

Made me laugh this morning.
Sky TV (being Murdoch owned) were all over the Superbowl.
I mean some people in this country watch it - my bro being one, but he goes to America at least once a year and likes Merkin sports.
But to most people it's akin to Kabbadi finals (which got press here as our women did so well).

Went upstairs to shower and switched on 5 Live (BBC radio.)
Rachel Burden was just talking about Beyonce's hair. About how BIG it was. How did she get such big hair? It was just enormously big.

Now, Burden knows her rugby and football (soccer) - she's not a bim. So it was funny to me that the most prolonged conversation on a national radio station was one that expressed sheer bewilderment at hair. Even George Riley (sports correspondant) admitted to not staying up to watch the game. He couldn't sleep and wandered down to catch the score, but happened on the blackout.

We're all over the FA Cup at present. The best domestic cup competition in the world apparently, because it produces so many giant-slayers.

The Financial Aid Cup? Cool?

Is it a soccer thing? They brought that over here so the untalented kids had something to do. "Here's your trophy, kid...way to get out of the car!" :lol:

Oh, sorry, this thread is about NFL stuff...please to excuse. ;)

Snicker.
It was an American who said that about the Football Association cup.
I'm just to lazy to trawl t'internet for it :)

I don't watch football on TV myself.
No Bouncy half-time shows.

But it's one of the FEW that you remember. and one of the even fewer that you remember who the commercial is for. I think I must have seen at least 3 that I had to make an effort to figure out who the ad was promoting. (the one with the lucky chair especially.)

I've ONLY ever seen GoDaddy commercials on the Superbowl. I think they must spend their entire advertising budget on that one ad each year. which is fucking brilliant, IMO.

I'm not sure how brilliant it is. GoDaddy is a service that 99.9% of the Super Bowl viewing population will never need. What does it matter if we remember them? And if I do decide to register a domain name, I'm going to take at least 5 minutes to research different services. I've seen a bit of negative press about GoDaddy's services, so you would think they would be better served by cleaning up their act than by force-feeding commercials to people who will never register a domain.

And I have a domain that I never use. It's just that my brother owns it and registered it.

well, they've stayed afloat this long somehow.

And my point was really about the advertising tactic, not the company that employs it. I would think that spending 2million for a 15 second spot on the superbowl would be more effective than spending 20k on 100 spots that air during the times we actively ignore them.

linkie

I'm more inclined to buy more Budweiser because of the baby Clydesdale than I will be inclined to register a domain name because of a beautiful woman sucking some nerd's face off. Beer ads often use beautiful women and perfect men (drink this and you'll look like this) but I don't usually turn my head in disgust over a tactic that's supposed to be shockier than the year before for a target audience of...what? Prepubescent males?

Call me a prude, but if I WERE to want to register a domain name, I would not use GoDaddy. If I were male, I would like to think I wouldn't be swayed by such a stupid commercial, and would be a more pragmatic, glattlike, man.

Long ago advertising started to see that 'if it makes you remember' then it's a good ad. But there's only so far that will go with some people.

I might remember an ad for condoms depicting a date rape ("Don't leave any evidence behind...buy Spartans!") but I certainly wouldn't buy the product.

I'm just saying that without those ads you would never have even heard of them.

That's true. And if you don't have a big budget, a single memorable spot in the Superbowl is a good idea. We're talking about them after all.

Point taken.

But it was still gross. ;)

Plus I can't think of another show where people look forward to, and actively watch, the commercials.

Men buy domain names. It's what we do.
