I sure hope Rich-Rod works out long term, b/c he sure isn't doing it short term. If Lloyd hadn't retired, they'd be 5-1 right now (this assumes Ryan Mallet and Justin Born don''t transfer and Adrian Arrington stays for his senior year, all of which would've been high probability w/o the coaching change). But not to worry. I'm on record that we will beat Ohio State. And there's always that yearly automatic win that we have this weekend.

I love how RR leaves after a great season at WVU, goes up North, and sucks. And the team he left - also sucks. Way to screw two teams in one trip there, coach. Oh - and ND sucks too.

Wide right.

Wide right.

LOL, it still hurts you bastard. However, how many people can say they went to the Super Bowl 4 straight times? Anyone?

Your team? They were definitely a powerhouse. I always used them on Super Techmo Bowl Seriously though, even guys like Don Beebe were transcendent to the game. The only problem was during the 90's was NFC>AFC. It's all good though, because we seem to finally be back on track. Trent Edwards is looking Brady like, Lynch is a bruiser (he needs to learn how to avoid some of those hits if he wants to be a star like Thurman), Evans is a shorter Reed, Roscoe is a better player on special teams than Beebe(offensive wise), Schobel is no Bruce but he's a monster on the line, etc. The only problem I see so far is the coach. D Juaron rubs me the wrong way. Bring back Levy!

In honor of Jeff's request on the 2008 Football thread, I thought it would be great reading to have a Swamp smack talk thread but why limit this to Pro Football since there is so much to crack and smack. I plan to keep my smack to football (the US kind Lank but I've got some for you too with that bunch of scrubs at Newcastle ) since running smack from me would be in poor form and just plain stupid. Titans vaunted D will be exposed for the sham they are when Peyton and the boys hang 35 on them in two weeks. Of course they will have the best view in the house when he throws for 335 and 3 TD's. PSU is exposed for why they are winning. Jo Pa actually has his head set mic turned off in the booth and the more lucent (re octogenerian) coaches on staff are calling the plays. Once he figures this out and gets back to the daily work of coaching, they will drop one and get booted from THE BCS hunt. Michigan - oh who gives a rats ass. Their so lame this year it not even worth smack talking. Come back when you get a team that can beat someone from the MAC. That should prime the pump and as I read somewhere else here - What Now Bitches.

I am proud to say I haven't got the faintest idea what you are talking about.

Sorry Jules - too much Colonial stuff. Basically its like this - we could cheek on Leicester City but its no fun to harp on a league one club so soon after relegation. Better?

The Browns. Game on, folks.

Yikes, you're a Clevelend fan. Sorry for your loss.... I really thought the Browns would come out blazing this year with the weapons they have on offense. It's too bad they don't have the same puffball schedule they had last year. It doesn't help that Braylon is dropping balls and Derek is showing his true self. Was last night a view of things to come? I hope so, because I really don't want to see the Brady Quinn era anytime soon.

Was last night a view of things to come?

If it is, it will probably only last a couple of weeks. I'm not going to get excited just yet.
