Around SBN: Identifying The 19th-Best Team In Baseball

Monday Night Football - Open Thread

Two of the best young quarterbacks in football, Aaron Rodgers and Joe Flacco, face two of the best defenses in football, Green Bay and Baltimore. Both teams are contending for a wildcard spot. There's no bad blood or tacky media hype, just meaningful football. How boring.

Boring indeed.

Perhaps ‘less’ boring as each team is missing star defensive players.

There ain't no turning back when our train is off its track, and there's nothing we can do but watch it crash (watch it crash)
And there ain't no right and wrong when we know it won't be long, and there's nothing we can do but watch it crash

Before talking about Clay Matthews' footballin attributes

Millen tells us about Clay’s mustache and his hair looking like his father’s.

ME! BANE!

What?

Millen loves mustachios.

I always thought Alex Smith and Rodgers looked identical

The demise of the Broncos in '09 is our future. Pray hard.

Wow...

Thank God A-Rod decided to grow the beard. Looks like Ben Foster with a case of Trisomy 21.

That's actually B.J. Novak

Whoa!

You’re right! I even generally know him by look, I sort of just…I don;t know. He does look like Aaron Rodgers.

Subject line please.

Oh and you can tell the guy to Matthews’ right is wanting a piece of his ass.

ME! BANE!

ZBIKOWSKI WITH THE WHITE MAN HUSTLE INTERCEPTION!

Brian Russell’s lone Seahawks INT was like that.

ME! BANE!

I want to think this is a good defensive game.

Between two great defenses.

But this is a crap game thus far.

ME! BANE!

by SSreporters on Dec 7, 2009 6:45 PM PST reply actions  

That was the second play in that game

that was pure, incredibly luck by NO. And for some reason I can’t remember the first. But ya, New Orleans got very lucky in that game.

Also, watching Brees stiff arm a defender straight into the dirt is funny.

by Fear on Dec 7, 2009 8:09 PM PST up reply actions  

Heh

They showed the highlight of Mare missing the 34 yard FG in the barrage of missed short FGs by kickers.

Guess who hasn’t missed since?

ME! BANE!

by SSreporters on Dec 7, 2009 7:19 PM PST reply actions  

of the game*

And it’s a horrible call.

ME! BANE!

by SSreporters on Dec 7, 2009 8:33 PM PST up reply actions  

You have to let them have a little contact

I didn’t see clear pushing off there. He had the leverage.

ME! BANE!

by SSreporters on Dec 7, 2009 8:35 PM PST up reply actions  

It's defensible PI

But the thing is, if you whistle every little jostle – which is technically what you should do – you get this kind of ballgame. Which is why refs shouldn’t.

Go go Pack D. Goalline stand!

by Thomas Beekers on Dec 7, 2009 8:35 PM PST up reply actions  

He just did it again!

Gotta say, even in a bad game like this, I do love the Pack D. Not an easy team to play against.

by Thomas Beekers on Dec 7, 2009 8:43 PM PST up reply actions  

Might as well pull Flacco

And beat the next two powder puffs.

This is embarrassing.

ME! BANE!

by SSreporters on Dec 7, 2009 8:42 PM PST reply actions  

He's awesome

But he is up against Brian Cushing, who has been nothing short of awesome either.
