I am bumping this, because I correctly predicted a Seahawks victory over the Broncos the year it happened, in September.

I did get the score a little incorrect.

I thought it was bullshit when a big portion of the television was blocked by a NBA Jam Tournament Edition arcade topper. I realize interior decorating advice from a guy who once considered decorating his apartment walls with things stolen from fast food restaurants a motif, but buying a 46" flat screen television and then blocking 16" of it with a piece of cardboard seems counter intuitive.

Flack and I caught the Saints/49ers game at the 2UP yesterday.

I thought it was bullshit when Corey White grabbed an interception, was knocked down by a 49er, went towards the end zone anyway and lost the ball out of bounds. That call went to San Francisco.

I thought it was bullshit when Kaepernick pulled some intentional grounding in the end zone at the end of the game and was not called for a safety.

I thought it was the right call when Brooks tried to take Brees's head off.

I seem to be the only person in the world who saw the game that way who has also posted about it on the internet.

We all have teams and fan bases we despise and mine is the SF 49ers team, fan and coach. What a bunch of crybaby BITCHES. Here is to them struggling to make the playoffs at 6-5.

Because this is the 30th anniversary of the Raiders last superbowl win, they are pushing the jerseys on their website. They all say "30 YEARS" on the tags or somewhere on the jerseys themselves if you look closely.

I've seen an uncommon number of Raider's jerseys at work: is something up that I should know about?

Mr. Bandwith-Melville's Tragic Loners was the fantasy equivalent of a Vikings-Raiders game played in quicksand.

by ICJ » Tue Oct 15, 2013 10:28 am

The computer that wrote up the game that I played against gsdgsd this week thinks we both suck.

A "good" week has a team scoring 100 points, for reference...
Mr. Bandwidth made sure that they didn't become the 5th straight team to lose to Melville's Tragic Loners. In the only close game this week, Mr. Bandwidth just barely got past Melville's Tragic Loners, winning 59.37 to 57.89. Coach Robb Sherwin should thank their lucky stars they drew Melville's Tragic Loners for this week's contest, since their squad would have lost to EVERY other team this week.

Mr. Bandwidth has now won five games in a row, which brings their record to 5 - 1. The loss drops Melville's Tragic Loners' record to 4 - 2.

Mr. Bandwidth had a terrible Sunday. They had eight laggards, with Robert Griffin III's 9 points being the worst performance. Underperforming is the new normal for RG3, who has gone three straight games without hitting his projected point total.

Mr. Bandwidth were also hurt by Cecil Shorts falling 9 points short of the average wide receiver. Shorts’ day was, well, short, playing only three snaps before leaving the game with a sprain in his AC joint.

Meanwhile, Melville's Tragic Loners were doing just as bad. James Jones was the worst of a seven man group of underperformers, scoring only 1 point. Jones got injured blocking on a routine sweep during the first quarter, but the good news is that it is a PCL sprain and he could play as early as next week.

It was absolutely anybody's game going into Monday night. Coach Robb Sherwin needed Danny Woodhead and Robert Mathis to outscore Andrew Luck by 0.6 points.

Luck was terrible, scoring 6 points, making it easy for Mr. Bandwidth. Woodhead and Mathis didn't do great, but they did enough, dropping 8.1 points to win the game.

Coach Robb Sherwin can pat themself on the back for this week's victory. They left Brandon Myers and his 3.9 expected points on the bench, favoring Benjamin Watson (1 point expected).

This decision boosted Mr. Bandwidth's final score by 5 points, which was the difference in the game. In winning the game, Coach Robb Sherwin repeated their week two performance, when their lineup moves pushed their squad over the top.

Melville's Tragic Loners will face off against Soul Cages next week. Good timing, as Soul Cages will come into the matchup on a three game losing streak. Melville's Tragic Loners was the hardest test Mr. Bandwidth will face for a while, as its next three games are against sub .500 teams, starting with BALLZ DEEP next week.

How does Tommy Brady get three tries to score in the last 3:20 of a football game?

I demand answers. I mainly demand answers because after he tossed the pick on the second attempt, I figured there was no way he'd get it back a third time so I stopped watching for three minutes, so I literally want to know the answer.

Also, more than any other year I can remember, every team is terrible, because every player was declared out for the season or a murderer during the first week into the preseason.

by Ice Cream Jonsey » Mon Sep 30, 2013 7:55 pm

It does seem like they clearly put the best team together and are getting a top-10 linebacker back in three games. The rest of us are playing out the string. Well, the players are.

by pinback » Mon Sep 30, 2013 10:08 am

Shouldn't they just cancel the rest of the season, save the time, and pronounce the Broncos the winners? What the hell is the point of this?

by Ice Cream Jonsey » Sun Sep 29, 2013 11:17 pm

I took my girl to the Broncos/Eagles game.

Or, I should say, the Broncos game.

by Ice Cream Jonsey » Thu Sep 26, 2013 10:55 am

Agreed. Nobody tell her, but I bought tickets for this Sunday's game as a surprise. So we're going to go see them stomp the Eagles. CAW CAW!

BRONCOS
They do look unbeatable. I said to my girl yesterday that the two best teams were the Broncos and Saints. She told me that Vegas odds have the Broncos and Seahawks as the most likely to go to the Super Bowl. How does she know Vegas odds, Tombstone????

I wonder if the Brits tune into ESPN for cricket matches and socc....football coverage.
I found a different site thanks to gsdgsd, so I haven't been back to the English announcers.

But for a time.... it was wonderful.

by Ice Cream Jonsey » Tue Sep 24, 2013 5:20 pm

I'll tell you what, I caught the first half of the Broncos game last night and they look invincible. And three of their top five players aren't playing.
