How do you think I got here?
I’m the Commish’s official No Fun liaison to SBN.
I wonder why people think banning someone is a power trip
It’s more like the worst part of something I otherwise love to do.
The entire process of banning people bites.
The leadup, failing to reason with the person, finally having to pull the trigger. Every time it happens you have to wonder if there was anything you could have said or done differently to avoid it.
Coming from a regular reader and commenter.
I think you guys handle the bannings and what not extremely well, there is probably some behind the scenes stuff I don’t see, but I’ve never felt that a banned commenter didn’t deserve the banning.
SEA!
Enjoy the game, gents.
May the chance to watch two excellent QBs wash away the pain of a tough loss.
Whatever.
I’m watching for the Peyton/Timberlake Sony commercials.
Adrian Peterson is my favorite person to watch.
Ever hear Welker tell a Indy CB he “fucking sucks”? I’ll find the link.
Chris Johnson is fun, I agree.
But, as you said, he just burns people so much it isn’t as exciting for me. Watching Peterson stiff-arm is a joy to behold. Though when Chris Johnson changes directions while using his 4.28 speed my mouth drops.
'Bout to pop a bottle of Don De Dieu beer.
Anyone know anything about it? Unibroue Brewing? Is that French for Unibrow?
I bought it during half time.
I may have been the one to jinx us, I’ll admit. I’m using a Stein, which I feel might not do the flavor justice, but it makes my testicles swell with pride.
After tasting this brew, I will believe you.
It’s a little bit too coriander(maybe?) for my taste, but it is really good.
Figure you have to be the best player at your position for a few years or a quarterback.
So: Moss, Brady, Manning and maybe Wayne, Freeney and Saturday.
Williams will probably pass him after Favre leads him to his 6th ring
The NFL HoF is a really hard call, they’re already backed up on deserving players.
Stafford got beat to shit
and managed to stay cool and for the most part, looked decent.
It is what it is...
He really would have looked good in Hawks blue.
A lot more talent around him here plus he could of taken his lumps this season when Hasselbeck gets hurt.
SEA!
Yeah, I hope not too.
Just seems like Matt is one vicious hit away from having his career ended, and who better to do that than Dockett!? Maybe Jared Allen next week.
SEA!
I want someone to step in and tell him enough is enough
He’s determined to keep going no matter what but damn, I like him too much to watch him do this to himself.
Good accuracy, does well under pressure and while it's not great, I think his arm strength is good enough.
Plus I believe he’s been a four or three year starter at Texas, so we have a good sample size of his work.
SEA!
Thanks. I'm all for something new
A Stafford type experience would, at least, make the defeats meaningful, and the wins hopeful.
It is what it is...
Yup, I agree and it's part of the reason I'm mad we didn't have a chance at Stafford.
Losing and watching Stafford grow would be tons better than watching Seneca drop back 65 steps.
SEA!
I like
His quick release, pocket presence, mobility, athleticism, deep accuracy, and his starter experience. I don’t like his mediocre arm strength, lack of exp. under-center, havn’t seen his toughness, and I don’t like the system he plays in.
I would prefer Bradford, and even then I don’t really know. I don’t like Clausen or his face, but I could handle that pick.
I'm still sort of on the Claussen bandwagon.
Especially since he’s looked decent in a pro style offense and I sorta like his face, he makes for a good face of the franchise.
SEA!
Good show.
I hate wanting someone other than Hasselbeck. I remember the day I knew Seattle would be great because of him.
I’m getting old. So is Hass.
It is what it is...
Hass is my favorite player in the NFL.
Yes, I’m a homer. But he’s hilarious, he responds to me on Twitter, and he needs to start a show with Jared Allen when he retires.
Yes, Hasselbeck has a great life ahead of him
And he is a warrior. But he has taken many blows. I’m not sure I will love a Seahawk more than Hasselbeck.
It is what it is...
I watch his interviews and he comes off as an abrasive cocksucker.
His lips are annoying, his mouth is shaped weird. And seriously fellas when was the last time anyone drafted a totally awesome, good character, hard working, bad-ass player out of Notre Dame?
Plus, Force is a Chaplin for UW.
I would say God would be forced to be on our side, but we still have these injuries.
I don't think he could've been realistically expected to do more than he did
I was surprised he didn’t get knocked out of the game.
Why isn't there a greater outcry over how football games a shot?
They start out with a great view of the field, a nice wide shot, and immediately zoom in on the quarterback. There are all of these amazingly athletic players and we get to see the very end of all their work.
Sunday Ticket has this feature where you can choose your camera angle.
I enjoy putting it on the distant one and getting a view of the action. It really helps you see how inter-connected football is. Reciever play leads to sacks.
I wrote more to that, but it didn't show up.
My Gramps has it on his TV and I havn’t been over there in awhile. And he was always the one to do it. I’ll have to get back to you.
Yessir, he did it often while watching the Viks on Sunday Ticket.
I’m pretty sure. Could probably google it.
Well the good news is everyones old standard def t.v.s are getting close to the end of their operational life
Since they haven’t even really been making standard def tvs for the past few years.
Heh, this is the last week where teams have a bye.
32 teams playing the same week starting next Thursday.
Fire Bruce DeHaven.
That was a crazy awesome throw
quick turn, set feet, throw the out to the far flat.
It is what it is...
Well this one's over
Not being even remotely able to run the ball has screwed the Colts
Seriously, who sits in a bathtub in the middle of the woods?
Cialis confuses me.
Fire Bruce DeHaven.
Is the Patriots success due more to scheme or Brady?
If it’s scheme, I want me some. If it’s Brady, I’ll just have to wait.
It is what it is...
Can I least get a side order of Welker
There has to be lots of those dudes around.
It is what it is...
Why don't we run more spread
We have the players, and the QB. And it would suit ZBS well, no?
It is what it is...
This game is not over.
Every receiver should be so lucky to be drafted by the Colts and work hard.
It is what it is...
So, am I just drunk, lacking football intelligence
Or is Peyton Manning the GOAT for QBs? He blows my mind.
Depends if you factor in SB wins or not.
I’m not sure. Could be Manning. I like Montana quite a bit.
Some would say Brady, too.
I didn’t watch Montana as much as Manning. Based on my experience (and not factoring SB wins) it’s probably Manning. I watched his greatness more.
I was young during the Montana days
But SF won consistently. Montana was a game manager opposite to that of Manning. He was more Hasselbeck before anyone had seen anything like a Hasselbeck.
The thing that I remember from Montana is that he “always” found a way to get the win. He believed he could win every game. Just like Manning/Brady; all the greats.
It is what it is...
Yikes, I don't get it
Haven’t seen Manning float this many passes in a long time
If only we had drafted Crabtree and not Curry
Manning would be great tonight.
FIRE RUSKELL!
Fire Bruce DeHaven.
the only way Manning has a shot of getting his shit together
is if we hire Holmgren RIGHT NOW

No, but
There are very few games where you could honestly say “Man, Peyton made a few really shitty throws” because he is that great.
Sorry, that came off wrong, I'm not poking fun at you
I’m more making a joke at some posters in the past we’ve had on here. Indy is certainly a little out of sync tonight.

No problem
I have been more of a lurker here in the past so I don’t really understand the typical posting situation :P.
I'm a big go for it on 4th guy,
but I see no way that was a smart call. Buried in your own zone like that?
Ya, after some more thought I think your right
It let the Colts keep the run alive, it was just way too easy for them to bleed the clock, and Manning didn’t need to force a pass or hold on to the ball for any length of time. I figured the Colts would score either way and giving it to them there would give the Pats more time to respond. Obviously wasn’t the case.
And if both of them were still undefeated, I think my head would explode
but in any case, I think I would root for Brees

I want a stud QB in this next draft so bad
I hope we get one, I hope there is one, seems like a good class.
by B.B.Finnegan on Nov 15, 2009 8:48 PM PST up reply actions
I'm with you.
But I worry about some of the prospects. I want the element of deep passing, too. I don’t want another dink-and-dunk QB. Let’s start a new era in an exciting way.
I must remark on what now seems to be the most brilliant thing I've see on FG.
This. It was pretty on point then too, come to think of it. Good call, Finnegan.
I was sad after the Hawks today
then I went to the UW-Portland St. BB game and it put things in perspective. We just got beat this time
