Yet, it is such an appropriate song for the franchise.
December 19th, 2010 at 8:11 PM ^
I am not really impressed with the Miami Dolphins fight song, although the cheerleaders are cool. Thy kinda gave me a tingly feeling!
December 19th, 2010 at 2:49 PM ^
When we have such an awesome fight song here, it's hard to listen to other fight songs. But even if we had a terrible fight song this would still be difficult to listen to.
December 19th, 2010 at 2:50 PM ^
Double post
December 19th, 2010 at 12:37 PM ^
without Brandon Graham.
Of course there's always Mario Manningham and Jason Avant, but they can't sack Eli.
December 19th, 2010 at 5:36 PM ^
It didn't lose it's luster after that comeback!!!! I normally love Mario, but could not have been happier (as an Eagles fan) when he fumbled that ball. He killed us in the first half though with his 2 touchdowns. It certainly wasn't on him with that fumble during that Giants collapse. Tough to be happier right now after that unreal comeback!!
December 19th, 2010 at 12:37 PM ^
Not too many good games today. I'm excited for Indy/Jax, NE/GB and of course Philly/NYG. Other than that, a lot of blowouts or pillowfights.

I am, I started the 2nd week down 27 because of Aaron Rodgers getting concussed and Dwayne Bowe putting up a goose egg. I need a dominant week to bridge the gap to make it to the finals, doesn't look good ... hopefully the Steelers D and Tom Brady both have amazing games.
December 19th, 2010 at 12:45 PM ^
Giants-Eagles. Huge showdown. Go Big Blue!!
December 19th, 2010 at 12:49 PM ^
Also of note, Gus Johnson has the Oakland/Denver game at 4:15 on CBS.
December 19th, 2010 at 2:12 PM ^
Can't stand Gus. What a blatant self-promoter.

I'm looking forward to seeing what they look like after Shwartz chewed them out this week.
I'm also going with Ochocinco in fantasy today despite him tweeting about cutting his hand this morning slicing oranges (can't make that up haha).
December 19th, 2010 at 1:05 PM ^
With the last pick in the draft, I was furious we took Tim Toon. As much as I love dreads, especially a white dude with dreads, we should have picked Legarrette Blount.
We could have a double headed monster back there with Jahvid and Blount
December 19th, 2010 at 1:10 PM ^
Good stop on 3rd down with a Freeman overthrow, Logan fair catches the punt, Lions will take over at the 19 yard line.
December 19th, 2010 at 1:11 PM ^
Marching out Stafford every week is soul crushing. It's like sitting at the strip club with your buddies and from behind the curtain walks... your sister.
December 19th, 2010 at 1:13 PM ^
I think you mean Stanton?
December 19th, 2010 at 1:15 PM ^
God dammit. Yes Stanton.
Joke = ruined.
Life = fuck mine.
December 19th, 2010 at 1:17 PM ^
3 plays for 2 quick 1st downs then drive stalls. Bucs take over after 2 yard return by Spurlock.
December 19th, 2010 at 1:19 PM ^
Indy 7-0 after Peyton TD
Saints up 7-0 after Bress TD
December 19th, 2010 at 1:20 PM ^
3rd and 5 Lions send 6 and Avril sacks Freeman.
December 19th, 2010 at 1:20 PM ^
So much for not having a Michigan player on defense: Avant made a tackle (after Vick throws interception). Mario reception on next play. Then a huge non-Graham sack of Eli. Philly punting on their next possession.
December 19th, 2010 at 1:23 PM ^
Browns up 7-0 on McCoy td pass to Eddie Royal
Titans up 7-0 on Collins td pass, threatening again on Houston's 5.
Cowboys up 3-0 on Redskins.
Rams up 3-0 on Chiefs.
Panthers 3-0.
Other two games 0-0
December 19th, 2010 at 1:25 PM ^
for 1st down. One of those pretty pointed-toe ballerina catches just inside the line.
December 19th, 2010 at 1:27 PM ^
TD Lions!!!!! Burleson 10 yard TD from Stanton! 7-0
December 19th, 2010 at 1:27 PM ^
but fight breaks out? (Not related to TD.) (penalty against Philly declined.)
December 19th, 2010 at 1:33 PM ^
...and this would be the first time all year I bench Manningham. DAMMIT
December 19th, 2010 at 1:29 PM ^
Burleson basically bulldozed his way into
<br>the endzone.
December 19th, 2010 at 1:30 PM ^
Titans add another TD, 14-0.
Rams add a FG 6-0.
Baltimore scores on Flacco TD pass, 7-7 vs Saints.
December 19th, 2010 at 1:33 PM ^
Panthers add FG, 3-0 over Cardinals.
Also Rayner's had two short kick in a row, wonder if that's on design to contain Spurlock.
December 19th, 2010 at 1:35 PM ^
i would love nothing more than to see Peyton and Indy lose to Jax today and basically be dead in terms of playoffs.
December 19th, 2010 at 1:45 PM ^
And so is Gabe Watson for AZ.

"They're like they're our little brother right now. They want to be the big brother," said running back Dominic Rhodes, who is in only his second week with the Colts this season but came to know Jacksonville well while with the Colts in 2001-06 and 2008.
December 19th, 2010 at 2:18 PM ^
between peyton having collie back and having garcon against jax this time.
incidentally, the NFL really needs to change the fair catch signaling rule. JAX just got a touchdown out of the rule being confusing, and that's the second time i've seen players confused by it just in the few games i've watched.
December 19th, 2010 at 2:25 PM ^
after catching 2 TD passes, collie just got his neck crunched and is currently surrounded by medical personnel on the field and not moving. this after missing 5 games because of concussions already this year.
edit: he eventually sat up, then eventually stood up, and walked back into the locker room. good signs all, but he's definitely headed for some imaging.
December 19th, 2010 at 2:37 PM ^
It's not an ambiguous rule. It has to be waved ABOVE your head. His arm slightly waved below his head. Therefore it's not a fair catch. I'm not sure what's so confusing about that.
December 19th, 2010 at 3:52 PM ^
i think it can be hard to decide at full speed whether a guy with his head tipped back waving his hand at neck level is waving it over his head or not. and the confusion it causes manifests in two ways, both of which are bad for the level of play. either he didn't signal and you think he did, and then it's free yards or points for him (as just happened in the colts game), or he does signal and you think he didn't, and then it's almost like polamalu-on-lockett territory.
December 19th, 2010 at 1:39 PM ^
End of 1st quarter, Bucs get an 18 yard gin on fluky 3rd and 13 play. Lions up 7-0.
Browns 7-0 over Bengals end of 1st.
COlts 7-0 over Jags end of 1st.
Rams 7-0 over Chiefs end of 1st.
Panthers 6-0 over Cards end of 1st
Miami 0-0 Buffalo in 2nd quarter.
December 19th, 2010 at 1:42 PM ^
the Lions of earlier years. False starts, delay of games, PI penalties.
Now that I say that they convert on 4th down though. Of course.
December 19th, 2010 at 1:44 PM ^
I just jinxed them. I'm done posting. I have finals to study for anyway.
December 19th, 2010 at 1:43 PM ^
Awful coverage on TD pass for Bucs after they convert a 4th and 2. 7-7
December 19th, 2010 at 1:49 PM ^
Mother fucking crap sandwich bitching suck.
December 19th, 2010 at 2:50 PM ^
And wives?
December 19th, 2010 at 1:57 PM ^
This time was long, curling run-after-the-catch. 14-3 Gints.
December 19th, 2010 at 1:57 PM ^
Wow, Refs are pandering to the Jags.
December 19th, 2010 at 1:59 PM ^
Pass it to Mario!!!
December 19th, 2010 at 1:59 PM ^
Is going to get himself killed if hes not careful here.
