You see the Patriots offense is like Senator Armstrong from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance because they're big and powerful and should be running this country.

Speaking of the Browns, that Joe Thomas article ESPN wrote is depressing as gently caress.

Joe Thomas article posted:

On Sunday nights, Thomas goes home, lies down with his wife and three kids and watches the late football games. He is happy that his children are all under the age of 4 and don't know whether he's won or lost. They kiss his wounds and take his mind off of the sacks and the scoreboard and the large bags of ice wrapped around his knees.

"I hope that someday the kids will think what he did for a living was pretty cool," Annie says in an email. "But for right now they just think he wears a funny helmet and tights."

Maybe someday, they'll know why Thomas did this, why he kept pushing that boulder up even though it kept crashing down on him.

"I'm hired to do a job," he says. "They expect me to do a job, and that job requires me to get my butt up and get back to the huddle, get the play and go do it another time. And until I can't physically get up, I'm going to do that.

"Until they pull me out of the game and say, 'You're not doing it well enough,' I'm going to just keep getting up."

SNF will flex one in. Normally the networks can protect one game from being flexed, but that rule does not apply to week 17. SNF can choose whichever game which historically has been a game where the winner makes the playoffs.

I was talking about like... Call of Duty 2 and before, wtf is this after Modern Warfare 3 poo poo?

I'm talking about a game that barely even tried to get multiplayer out there, because at the time, Half-Life Day of Defeat was the penultimate WWII PVP shooter experience and you played that poo poo with a mouse and keyboard.

For the record. You heathens that started playing shooters with Halo on the X-box can suck my red vs blue nuts.

They also try and move in a game that has implications for everyone else, to reduce the number of teams that know their fate.

I'd give high odds to Giants - Washington or Broncos - Raiders being the flexed game because of that.

Nikita Whitlock called for an end to “oppression, violence, racism, hatred” the day after vandals scrawled racist messages on the walls of his Bergen County, N.J., apartment during a break-in.

Whitlock, a 25-year-old running back for the New York Giants, found “KKK,” “Go back to Africa,” “f—— n—–” and a swastika were left behind in his basement apartment while he, his wife and two young children were out Tuesday evening.

Jiminy Christmas! Shoes! posted:

Texans because their garbage QB has a big ol' salary that means that they can't look anywhere else without wasting tons of money. Jets are in second for roughly the same reason. Browns just have a bunch of cheap old broken dudes and guys who have started like, one game in their career.

Jets. There's a theoretical possibility RG3 is the answer if he gets lucky and avoids an injury for a year (of course, what will actually happen is he'll be just good enough to bump them down in the draft while making them think they don't need to use their 1st on a franchise QB, then break next preseason). There is zero possibility anyone on the Jets' roster is the answer.

The Packers are a below average team playing an above average team in Seattle and a Vikings team that gives them fits. It's very possible they lose both.
