Dawgs By Nature

I won’t be watching. I have a flag football game tonight at 9:20 and dinner/some practice before then. My number is 16. Any guesses as to why? :)

Sadly, our team got signed up into the competitive, not the recreational, league. So… it’ll be interesting…

Dude, that is so totally awesome!

Kudos!

Oh man.

We were awful.

I mean, it was the first game and we haven’t really had an official practice so it was ROUGH. I caught one pass, completed none of my passes (out of maybe 5), and rushed 3 times for maybe 9 yards. I know how Tim Couch felt- we had no blocking whatsoever. I’d get the ball snapped to me and my flag would be gone before I even had time to look up.

It was fun, though. Hopefully we get better.

My freshman year I played flag football. A bunch of kids on my floor decided to start a team, but realized right before the first game we had no idea who would play QB. while trying to figure it out, we all tried to throw as far as we could. I magically have a cannon arm apparently, so I was the quarterback. we went on to win the championship and get free T-shirts.

/cool story bro

I find it funny that the 2 comments to emily (a girl), one starts off with dude, and the other ends with bro.

Ya I played for a year myself, it was awesome.

I’m a bigger dude, but have always been quick for my size. One game we started with 2 passes to me playing center ( after 5 secs I could release as a receiver). After that we lined up and the one dude was like “watch the center, he’s got sneaky speed!” Still a joke with my friends till this day.

But we had one game where my team (decently athletic people, but weren’t on organized teams) played some jocks (all had been part of state champ HS teams, Mooney). We all knew eachother and it was intense as shit, we had people ejected on both sides. We ended up winning by one point (2 pt. Conv.) Outside of being in a real game, it was crazy!

Wish I could get back on a team though.

I have a decent arm, and I’m pretty accurate. Now, I’m only 5’4" and we’re playing with a collegiate sized football, so I can’t throw more than 20 yards probably. But they need a girl and boy QB (it’s a co-ed team), so I guess I’m the girl one. Hopefully next game I have time to actually throw!

That last sentence sounds like you’re channeling your inner Colt McCoy

year of the elf - September 9, 2010 via mobile reply

second/third.

i would love to be playing some flag football.

Go AP and Minnesota D!

Guys! Hurry!

Berrian or Driver!?

This is tough….. Driver.

did it.

London Silly Nannies is going down.

I shall not be held responsible for mental breakdowns if Berrian goes for 70+ yards and 2 TDs.

You’re wrong my friend.

I’ve got 3 players in this game, so I will be watching.

I have two so Berrian or Driver?! Help!

Berrian and Favre never had much chemistry for some reason

That could all change this year, but I doubt it

pl4tinum - September 9, 2010 reply

it could have changed if favre went to TC…

Berrian.

i see him having a slightly better season than last year with the MIN injuries.

he and driver are both #2 wrs, so it’s a wash. I’d go Berrian just to be excited tonight.

flip a coin and roll with the winner.

Your reply button working?

And I flipped Driver. I like him with Rodgers.

yep…plus, I consider him much more of a reliable receiver; in real life and in fantasy.

I don’t think I’m into having such a high stakes game as the first game for these two clubs when the first game means a lot for each’s moral.

I for one, LOVE IT.

Seriously, if it was Oakland vs. Detroit or something, I ~~probably wouldn’t be watching.~~ Ok ok, I’d still watch, but it wouldn’t be very interesting.

About to start!

This is super funny

Whatever stream I’m getting has a british announcer. It’s very odd.

Ha.

Watching the same one for now. The quality is fantastic though.

yes, it is quite awesome.

You guys aren’t in the United States with NBC? Also in the past, NBC.com would stream their games for free; not sure if they’re doing that this year.

I don’t have cable and because i live in the middle of a bunch of brick apartment buildings, it’s near impossible to get reception.

If you must know…. I’m answering natures call.

hooray Colston!

I do love NBC’s football games though. For camera usage and graphics.

The music too. It pumps me up.

Let’s throw to Meachem kthxbye.

every pass to Colston.

Jon Stinchomb is the best pass blocking right tackle in football.

Why couldn’t that TD been to Meachem?

Damnit.

I’m sure there will be more.

Well, I think I should’ve drafted Drew Brees.

Romo better kick some ass.

I passed on him for Rodgers… really hoping I don’t regret that.

don’t panic yet…

That was pretty quick

Who saves up to buy a Corolla?

And she said she’s buying it for the quality.

Bullshit.

my stream has got to be european. The lottery is in euros.

NOOO! There’s efing ants in my room. Great. Stupid california.

East coast houses get roaches so feel lucky.

in ohio we get ants, but not roaches, unless you’re really dirty.

I meant atlantic east coast.

I know, I was just saying what we get in ohio.

time to get traps.

I think theyre just passing through. nothing for them in here. vacumed their asses.

a couple years ago when the japanese beatles hit real hard I vacuumed a bunch up, and then when I went to dump it they all flew away.

I hate those little fuckers.

wtf? lol

Last year I remember ladbyugs hit Ohio hard (in the fall I believe). I think I heard they were transported from japan…

they look like ladybugs, but aren’t actually ladybugs.

oh…

I knew there was a ladybug infestation and I remember hearing they were imported to the US from japan so I just was putting 1 and 1 together and thought maybe we were thinking of the same thing.

we probably are. Most people mistake them for ladybugs. They have less spots and are slightly orange, but they’re identical otherwise.

could be. I just heard them described as ‘ladybugs’ when they invaded a year ago (I was reading some articles on them)

North Coast Flea - September 10, 2010 reply

Japanese Ladybird Beetles.

A lot of things aren’t native to Ohio that are in Ohio.

Those Ladybugs, Carp…

Hell, even our flower, the Carnation, isn’t from Ohio.

pretty much any plant you would consider a weed was brought over from europe.

Yes but the Carnation was brought to Ohio as an experiment and was let to grow freely on accident.

same with black squirrels.

I like the KSU connection. =D

I have lots of KSU connections. My mom, dad, 2 aunts, an uncle, 2 cousins, all went to KSU

And you, the black sheep, said no?

Also, I know a lot about the carnation because my city is the one who gave Ohio the flower.

haha, my mom works at case, so the free tuition trumps all.

That is interesting, what city would that be?

Why do you think I go to KSU? ;D They also have one of the best education programs too but free tuition trumps all indeed.

Alliance, Ohio. You know about Mount Union, don’t you? Haha.

haha oh yes.

2 uncles, 2 cousins…thats it for me.

damn it, I need Peterson to start kicking ass next series.

Colinsworth tries his best Madden impression… “Favre is a magician!”

I would laugh at that photoshop.

If only Colinsworth would retire too so I dont have to hear that punk.

http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/

thanks, but I’m rather enjoying british commercials. It’s the nbc announcers for play-by-play, but everything else is european.

Oh, I see.

Some of their commercials are t same as ours, but with limey dub overs.

same with telemundo (one of two channels I get)

I’m aware of that too. It’s funny.

I’m actually back to my television now, but thanks.

FYI, this is the feed thing that gives you multiple camera angles to look from.

I’m losing 1-0 already.

Damn.

the favre love is thick already.

I can taste it through my tv.

I hate Dan Snyder and Jerry Jones.

The british analysts are much more intelligent than the normal guys on US tv. they know their Xs and Os

The in studio guys during the breaks?

yeah, they seem much more knowledgeable.

Yeah, they’re cool. They’re less hype and more straight forward.

they were aware of the importance of the vikings losing their nickle corner/backup safety.

I have noticed there is a growing niche market in Britain for football and their football literacy has gone up a lot. Did you happen to catch any of their names?

The Ohio State University is well represented tonight.

THEE…Ohio State University.

Damn strait.

You want to know what happens when you miss all of training camp?

Brett Favre’s throwing.

seriously. it’s noticable.

That was a great run… all for nothing.

I need AP to break a few.

there we go.

Hey, should I drop gaffney and pick up Ginn?

I’d stick with Gaffney for now.

That’s a helluva lot of flags already.

I started Farve over Palmer in my NFL.com FF team. He better step it up.

Uh, no.

I bet Payton is chewing Juicy Fruit…

I love Juicy Fruit.

I like Green Apple from Extra… Which is produced by Wringly’s… Which produces Juicy Fruit.

So I guess me too?

I do Polar Ice. Covers cig breath really well.

See, I just don’t smoke.

Much easier.

Much easier to not smoke in the first place than it is to quit. Keep staying clean.

Always.

I don’t drink the poison drink either.

cofee?

That and alcohol.

oh, I don’t drink Irish cofee either.

Take the tape off your glasses and you’ll be cool.

Naw. If my body is going to die from any drink, it’ll be pop thank you.

and thank you for saying pop.

Fuck soda and potato fries. THEY’RE CALLED JOJO’S.

Soda is way worse than beer for you.

This is false.

Soda eats your tummy up.

and makes you really, really fat, unless it’s made with real sugar.

In moderation or in a controlled manner it’s fine.

this can be said of almost anything.

heard of a beer gut?

No such thing.

so beer is calorie free?

Beer gut is a fallacy.

how? gaining weight from beer is impossible?

no, the idea that the weight is concentrated in your stomach is wrong.

that may be true…don’t know where the weight goes specifically.

Not to the gut, which technically is not a body part.

THE BEER GUT IS A FALLACY.

Jesus, can you read?

LETS HAVE A YELLING CONTEST!!!

I wrote it caps so you could read.

I could read. I just didn’t know why specifically it was a fallacy, which NTN pointed out.

I can still drive and drink pop at the same time just fine, thank you.

I used to be addicted to soda.

I’ve known a couple people like that.

like 6-12 cans a day. I quit cold turkey a few years back.

I’ve gotten myself off MD and drink it very every so often.

I drink dark pop a bit.

md?

Dew of the mountain.

Ahhh, I hated that stuff. Looks like cow pee.

mountain dew throwback is pretty good though.

No.

It tasted disgusting.

I like the non-syrupy taste myself.

Tasted like Heaven though.

I hate the damn spin off though. All of them.

not really. its not like beer doesn’t have sugar in it or carbs that can spike your blood sugar.

well, most beer doesn’t have NEARLY as much sugar, because it’s made by having yeast eat all the sugars. Also, I would be extremely surprised to see a beer made with HFCS

I’d assume it’d be terrible.

I might try it, just for the novelty.

totally agree…might want to try it once (like Golden Wheat, which isn’t half bad) but I would assume the same.

I like wheat beers quite a bit.

me too, but not as much as darker beers.

yeah. beer has natural sugars and less of it…but it still has sugar and poison that slowly will rot your liver if you drink too much of it.

A beer is almost as bad for a diabetic as a can of regular pop (my dad is one).

Liver’s don’t rot. They regenerate just fine.

And Beer doesn’t have much sugar, the yeast eats it. why do you think they ferment it?

then where does the spike in blood sugar and 145 calories in budweiser come from?

calories come from other things than sugar.

like fat and protein and other carbohydrates (and even things with low sugar but high in carbs can spike blood sugar too)? I don’t think there is any fat in beer and I doubt there is much protein.

other carbohydrates

more specifically, think starch.

Ugh, a woman’s thighs worst nightmare.

You do not get calories from protein.

actually, you do.

No.

we can argue yes or no without evidence all we want, but go to your box of cereal in your cabinet. many of them have something somewhere where it has a measure of calories. it lists fat as 9 and carbs as 4. it also lists protein.

Do you ever understand how you receive protein from an item?

It’s a by product from dissolving the alcohol in the blood. Go to chemistry.

rebuilding year - September 9, 2010 reply

The calories come from the alcohol.

Not hfcs, but miller is brewed with straight corn in the mash. Bud uses rice. Ends up with more calories than pop, but most of it is from the alcohol itself. That means Guinness has fewer calories than bud.

rebuilding year - September 9, 2010 reply

Beer doesn’t rot ur teeth or metals either.

Fucks your brain though.

Not in moderation

No, regardless, it messes with your brain.

which is more important, a few teeth or your whole liver?

Liver grows back.

And technically, you only need half a liver.

you’re leaving out the effects of caffeine addiction.

to be clear, Beer is worse, but soda still messes you up.

definitely.

This is what gets me but honestly, the caffeine has no more adrenaline effect on me anymore.

They’re both replacable. It’s ALLLLLL good.

For 2 mins then gets a new piece when the flavor leaves?

two minutes is generous.

Watch America’s Game… Then you’ll know.

You don’t need to watch America’s Game, you only need to watch 5 minutes of the NFL Network to see the commercial.

…SHUT UP!

How do you think I know?

MEACHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Haha, fumbles the ball, scoop it up, float it down the sideline for a big gain.

This is something no Browns QB can do…

2.6-1 YESSSS

So how about we talk about the football game that’s going on right now, shall we?

I’m loving this defense on the Saints. AP isn’t getting it done.

AP isn’t getting it done.

much to my chagrin.

Much to your Chagrin falls, Ohio?…

Instantrimshot.com

This made me giggle a little.

Does this look like a football blog to you?

That depends on whether you judge it by front page content or comments.

Soda and bugs or GTFO!

This is not looking good for my Viking guys.

same.

Haha!

In my money league I’m playing AP this week so I’m happy with what I’m seeing.

At least Shancoe is giving me some yards in our league.

Up 3.2-1

AP’s hitting the holes pretty well.

I need AP to get in the end zone.

56 yards already.

Don’t be greedy.

My other RBs are Ricky Williams and Felix Jones. I’m going to be greedy.

…Wow.

My team is top loaded.

I took a few waivers and feeling more confident.

there aren’t any FA running backs that would be better.

I wouldn’t mind a broken ankle instead.

Or an Adriumble.

Berrian lacks the ability to just bring it in, despite coverage.

There’s the one Viking I don’t mind at all scoring points. Ryan Longwell, my kicker.

I was happy too; I’ve got Longwell in the DBN league.

Jon Stinchcomb doesn’t hold.

Defender ripped his helmet off after missing the pick and slammed it against the ground. Shouldn’t that have been a 15-yard penalty?

I thought this as well.

I remember this lost us a game a few years back.

Good no call, even if it’s in the rulebook.

Good no call, even if it’s in the rulebook.

This is a paradox.

Not really, if it’s a rule I don’t really care about and doesn’t have a major impact, than I think it’s good for the ref to let it go and not cost the defense a stop.

What? Grammatically, that was a paradox.

Right.

So, not quite the offensive shootout yet I expected. Still have the second half though.

Both of these teams with great offenses have damn good defenses to compliment them.

So Fujita is laughing his ass off.

Halftime Show: Jersey Shore

Special Guest appearance by Guido Kicker, Jeff Reed.

/sarc

Whew, great touch pass by Favre to Shiancoe.

Shiancoe BABY!!

Good call.

13.6 points so far.

YES!!!!!!

Shiancoe is so money.

Longwell, although is not.

Damn that block cost me a point. But, yeah if it was a block, how do you blame the kicker?

Should’ve angled it higher.

Damn Farve

I hate that douchebag.

kingcrimson2 - September 9, 2010 reply

Is Jeremy Shockey always hurt?

It’s looking like starting Favre in my other league wasn’t a great idea. I’m gonna probably give him another week, and see how Alex Smith does for a couple weeks.

The Saints D is pretty good.

their O line is doing quite well. :-/

I’m sorry, but what.the.f&#@ was that Ray Lewis commercial?

The dumb Old Spice one?

I don’t know, but he murdered Saturn.

As much as I hate him, I thought it was pretty funny. If it had been Terry Crews I’d have laughed my ass off.

I love the terry crews ones.

p-p-p-p-p

Block, building kick, EEEEEEEEXPLOOOOOOOOOSIOOOOOOOON!!!!!

does NBC always do the link? great stuff.

anyone else around? or did the third quarter just suck that much?

yo dawg

where in pa do you happen to be stuck? i know the feeling.

Bellefonte. Like 15 minutes from Penn State.

Bradford here…. NW pa…. hr and a half east of Erie.

Oh, so almost NY. Cool. I always like knowing I’m not alone dealing with all the pittsburgh fans.

Yes! That’s awesome. We say that shit all the time.

Punctuation is key here…

Where did you find this? I have to show it to a friend.

Google Images.

I keep trying. I can’t find this one.

I searched “yo dawg” in google images and it’s a few rows down.

Of course it would be that simple.

This is the best one ever, by the way.

Hahaha awesome.

Amazing.

Fanshot this.

started watching breaking bad on my CPU

Great show.

kingcrimson2 - September 9, 2010 reply

yep. I am about halfway through season 2…about the point where badger has some legal problems…

mmmm.. could be a catch there….

i have my audio off, but i thought if the ball doesn’t hit the ground…. it’s a catch. incomplete b/c he trapped it?

the Saints are picking these guys apart. Ridiculous.

And this is a good D.

I want more points out of Longwell… but I definitely don’t want Peterson to rack up more yards.

I want more points out of Hartley, that’s not going well.

I’m rooting against Brees, Bush and Berrian.

I hate Chris Collinsworth.

“A Welker type”

So what…. every white receiver is a Welker-Type now? Michaels would deny it, but the only reason he made the comparison is because they are both white receivers.

Both Welker and Camarillio are slot receivers. Also, they both played in Miami.

That may be true but had I’m not buying that as Michaels’ reasoning. “A Welker-Type” c’mon now… that refers to ex-Miami slot receivers? Nope, not buying it.

Well, Welker is the current prototype at that position; the best in the league the last few years.

So, the requirement is that you be white?

I’m not convinced. I agree Welker is the best slot receiver in the league. Percy Harvin, for example, is a much more prevalent (compared to Cam) up and coming slot receiver and Michaels has announced games in the past (and this one) without ever calling him a “Weker-Type.”

The truth is, he made this comparison because they are both white.

Why do you think Edelman is welker’s backup?

White.

Furrey. White.

Jurevicious. White.

(I like instigating.)

Pierre Thomas has given me 12 points. I went with Aromashodu over Meachem.

Correction: 14

Looks like the old gunslinger should go back to hunting ’dillas.

kingcrimson2 - September 9, 2010 reply

That was a boring game.

I tuned out after the second half.

first half*

Agreed. The first half wasn’t to bad.

Definitely not as exciting as last seasons’ opener.
