Football

most tv sucks these days, but there are some shining examples of good writing, acting, camera work, etc... we call those Deadwood and Arrested Development. Family Guy sucks ass, though...

When Boldin signed with the Bills, he said wanted to contribute, but he was also there to mentor the young WRs. He doesn't expect to be the #1 guy.

The Charges are playing in the same stadium as the LA Galaxy from MLS. For the first preseason game today, the Chargers had 21,054. The LA Galaxy had 25,667 last night.

I still think they should have moved the Chargers to Vegas and left the Raiders in Oakland.

Triple post. Am I still supposed to insult Grimlock?

Joey Belladonna from Anthrax sang the National Anthem at the Bills preseason game on Saturday. He did it in under 2 minutes, and it was good.

Boldin retired instead. Buffalo now has...uhmmmm...nobody on their WR depth chart.

Nope. Jordan Matthews immediately cracked his sternum after putting on the Bills jersey. They are basically down to Andre Holmes and the guy they drafted in the 2nd round. Buffalo Rumblings from SB Nation already posted an article about the top QBs in next year's draft class. Even for the Bills, that might be a record for giving up on the season. They still aren't going to out suck the Jets this year.

Matthew Stafford is now the highest paid player in the NFL. 5 year $135M deal with $92M guaranteed. It's $27M per year, which is $2M more than the next highest.

Motherfucker better start winnin' some Superbowls.

But probably not. Imagine if he'd left them some more salary cap space to put a team around him. Hope it doesn't backfire on them.

So basically, the Lions have given up for the next 5 years.

Lions win. Rams are BACK in LA, decisively. Bears & Cleveland hang in there against my expectations. Houston it appears, is the new worst team ever.

Not that beating the Jets is anything to brag about, but a win is a win. Amiright, Buffalo?

I was a little cagey when Detroit inaugurated their season with a pick six right off the bat, but they recovered nicely.

Matt Stafford is making over one mil per game. That's awesome.

No, it's not.
Stafford is a useless fuck.

The Bills have sole possession of first place in the AFC East. I don't even remember the last time anyone could say that. It most likely ends next week. They play Carolina.

I ended up with Stafford as my backup QB on one of my fantasy teams. Matt Ryan is my starter, so I'm only counting on Stafford for one game. Even with the pick-6, he would have gave me 17.75 points today.

Under Caldwell and JimBob, Stafford has really flourished as a QB. He hasn't been the problem with the team the last few years. It's the weak-ass O-line not giving him the time to make plays, and the general mediocrity of the defense. Also, no quality RB last year with Abdullah being gone.
Stafford actually breaks records every time he throws the ball. Fastest QB to reach XX amount of yards and XX completions, and other assorted records. He's basically breaking his own record each time.

Lions play the Giants next week. If they could sit OBJr for another game, that'd be super. Cowboys walked all over them last night and now they're gonna be salty next week and take it out on Detroit.

The good news; Buffalo held Carolina to just a few field goals.
The bad news, Carolina held Buffalo to just one.

Still, y'all are tied for first in your division still. (I'm assuming Jets and 'fins losses. Because Cutler and....who the fuck is even QB on the Jets. Is it a high school kid? BWAHAHAHAH. I just looked it up. Their QB depth chart is Hackenberg/Petty/McCown. Holy shit!! Lolololol)
