Cam Newton is a [expletive] idiot

Signs your team is [expletive]: when you know a play is a touchdown before the back's even to the LOS. Matt Forte would've been a pretty solid fantasy play.

Setting aside the obvious part about jumping way ahead of himself on that, it probably would be the biggest since that USC/Texas 2005 game. But Finebaum is a Bama honk so of course he feels that way.

I take back every negative thing I ever said about you, Brian Kelly. You are the man for this job. This game was a work of [expletive] art.

This would be a really painful loss if it happens. All kinds of chances to put it away.

Sure looks like it. @ TCU is probably their toughest game left. If this happens does a one loss sec team jump them? No. K-State has played a legitimate schedule.

Florida/Georgia is a crime against QB play. Driskel and Murray both with horrendous interceptions.

I absolutely cannot afford any kind of season tickets. I'm hoping by the time 15K more people pass I'll at least be able to front the money before selling off to family and friends. The nights-and-weekends plan would be pretty terrific.

I haven't seen the Bears much, but I find it very hard to believe that Cutler has been worse than Cam by any objective measure.

I just checked mine, and I'm at 15003. I signed up sometime around 03-04, IIRC. How much did you move up in the last year? I must have signed up just before you, because as of now I'm 14,930 or something like that.

I have carried my phones in my pants pocket for 6 years. 2 of them died, but both were due to overwhelming water exposure (1 drop, 1 me getting rained on like crazy on assignment last week). I think you're good.

ND may yet get crushed, but going in, I couldn't love any more that no pundit thinks the Sooners win by less than 2 TDs.

My opinion is irrelevant to them, but I'd totally be on board with 4 pm EST start times on Friday.

For Derek Anderson? For Jimmy Clausen? Unlikely. Besides, the lines and the secondary are far bigger issues.

Don't worry, guys, I'll try not to post too much misery porn in this thread. This game's going to be a destruction.

Barring disaster, the World Series will be watchable. Glorious day.

Malarkey for Barkley? I was trying to come up with one and got nothing. That's probably as good as one can do with Barkley's name so I'll roll with it. Chiefs might have to get in line behind Carolina, though. They play later in the season.

In what I assume is part of an all-out plan to tank for Matt Barkley, the Chiefs are starting Brady Quinn this week.

Moreover, Freeman was in the pocket when the shove was made, so technically it was illegal contact on top of it. Right, any way you look at it, it's a blown call. It has to at least be illegal contact When they had Pereira on TV afterword he said that Freeman was out of the pocket when the shove occurred so there was no illegal contact, and that since the shove was legal the receiver still can't be the first one to touch it when he reestablishes himself. I can't see the replay right now to see if he was right about when the shove occurred. Pereira was wrong. There was a picture somewhere, and I wish I could find it, that put a bright yellow square where the pocket was, and Freeman was a step or two inside it when the picture shows Williams being shoved.

Long overdue. And I wouldn't miss Rivera either. Whole organization needs an overhaul.

I'm less worried about the defense than the offense. It'll take at least 3 offensive TDs to win.
