The Princeton-Cornell game will probably be better football. (For those of you not familiar with Ivy League football, (1) it's terrible, and (2) Princeton and Cornell are terrible even for the Ivy League.)

The people I really feel sorry for are the ones who have to listen to Ian Eagle. Ever.

Oddly enough, Kitna actually looked halfway decent in the fourth quarter of the MNF game.

This sounds about right.
The FOX pregame shows fake laughs as much as you think
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on October 28, 2010 1:25 PM ET

Fake laughter has become a staple of every NFL pregame show, just like picking games and last minute injury news.

The true visionaries in the overlaughing era was FOX. They started the trend, and they continue to destroy the field in pretending to have a better time than they really are.

The Wall Street Journal did an analysis of the CBS and FOX pregame shows in Week Five. They determined that laughter took up 142 seconds of the FOX show or roughly 11.6% of the time that the five hosts on the show were seen together.

Terry Bradshaw led the way, laughing for over 92 seconds all by himself.

CBS' crew, who are about as funny as an episode of Two and a Half Men, only laughed for 43 seconds. Maybe they've learned not to force it.

Mike Ditka remains one of my favorite pregame analysts because he refuses to join in with the other ESPN guys when they are yukking it up. The look on Ditka's face while his cohorts are pretending to have an awesome time is legitimately hilarious.

meh.. he was only connecting on short underneath routes to extremely talented catch and runners.. jones, witten, and bryant. that is what the defense was allowing them since they were sitting back to prevent a big play (and lets be honest.. they probably thought the game was over).

he certainly did better than I thought he would, but I will wait to see his performance in a full (and close) game before I judge how well he moves that offense. he should be able to beat jax though.

The defense wasn't really sitting back, they actually brought a lot of pressure - they blitzed six on one of the TD passes to Bryant, seven on the other. You're right that it was mainly quick short routes though. Of course, Tom Brady is going to go to the Hall of Fame for throwing quick slants over and over and over.

well yeah, no doubt. i really meant the secondary was playing cautious. the pass rush was brutalizing the cowboys o-line all night; even more reason for those short throws. it was amazing how they completely neutralized miles austin all game.

I can't wait for the Youtube video that's just 92 seconds of Bradshaw busting a gut. They should move on to 5 minutes of Charles Barkley acting incredulous and 9 hours of Dick Vitale gesturing frantically.

In the WSJ story, there was a quote from this FOX exec that was something along the lines of "We can't get them to stop cracking jokes!"
Is that what those are?

Re: NFL 2010: Now Extended By Two More Posts

NFLN's top 100 show just went through 11-20. Dennis Miller had another very bizarre introduction, this time of Mean Joe Greene.

11. Ronnie Lott
12. Anthony Munoz
13. Joe Greene
14. Sammy Baugh
15. Deacon Jones
16. Otto Graham
17. Barry Sanders
18. Ray Lewis
19. Bronko Nagurski
20. Brett Favre

So that presumably leaves these as the top ten all-time players, in some order:

Jim Brown
Jerry Rice
Lawrence Taylor
Joe Montana
Don Hutson
Reggie White
Walter Payton
Peyton Manning
Johnny Unitas
Dick Butkus
 
Re: NFL 2010: Now Extended By Two More Posts

Just pulled off a great trade in fantasy football...got Chris Johnson for Knowshon Moreno and Thomas Jones!
 
Re: NFL 2010: Now Extended By Two More Posts

I'm sorry, but favre really belongs higher than 20. Although, looking at those above him, it's a toss-up.
