Who's up for some
exhibition preseason NFL action tonight? Or maybe it's ESPN's 100th broadcast this season of Yanks/Sawx. Who does Al Michaels have tonight? Will Joe Morgan take credit for the building of New Yankee Stadium? Is Don Draper going to regret banging the new secretary? Leave comments and enjoy the mayhem!
Dallas Cowboys vs Cincinnati Bengals 8:00 (NBC- Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth SR: Andrea Kremer)
Boston Red Sox at New York Yankees 8:00 (ESPN- Jon Miller, Joe Morgan, Orel Hershiser)
I don't care if this is a meaningless preseason game between two teams I dislike. But dammit, it's football and I've missed football in my life.
ReplyDeleteI'll watch a little, but I have a feeling I'm going to tire of TO and Chad 85 pretty quickly tonight.
ReplyDelete@Kris: I'll probably only watch the 1st quarter then change channels.
ReplyDeleteNBC must really be struggling to take EA's money for a Madden promo
ReplyDeleteMichaels about Collinsworth: "He's passed his conditioning test. His larynx is ready to go."
ReplyDeleteLeon Hall being abused like he's playing Appalachian State all over again.
ReplyDelete/Sorry RJBO
That Appy State loss is now part of the salad days for Michigan.
ReplyDelete/not much to look forward to sports wise
//or otherwise
I still can't believe the Lions fleeced the Cowboys for a 1st, 3rd & 6th for Roy Williams.
ReplyDelete/first (and only) time for everything
When does Hard Knocks premiere? This week?
ReplyDeleteWednesday at 10pm if I'm not mistaken.
ReplyDeleteThe Bungles are already shooting themselves in the foot
ReplyDeleteNickel-dimer offside call on Fanene.
ReplyDeleteSeeing TO and Rice together reminds me of those late 90's Niners teams. TO never pulled any crap on those teams because he knew he couldn't get away with it with Rice around. Also he looked up to Rice like a father figure. Once Jerry left, then you saw TO throwing QB's under the bus and pulling sharpie's out of his socks.
ReplyDeleteNot the split-screen commercials again!
ReplyDelete/2008 NBA Playoffs'd
...Agreed on TO, Keith.
2nd teamers in now for Dallas, as expected.
ReplyDeleteI'm always excited for the first preseason game of the year, then I don't care. Just get on with the season.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea Jon Kitna was still in the league.
ReplyDeleteAnd now, Bengals D players are dropping like flies
I wonder how badly the Red Sox-Yankees game gets thrashed in the ratings?

ReplyDeleteAlex Barron with the Three Stooges move on Odom.
ReplyDeletePalmer (who for some reason is still in) has basically thrown every ball to TO tonight.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's just me, but I think if Russ Grimm got hired as a head coach he'd be the new Rod Marinelli.
ReplyDeleteYou gotta get LOW, kt!
ReplyDeleteBill Hall doing his best Kitna impersonation to 1st allows the Yankees to get on the board.
@KT: I agree. Line coaches never make good head coaches. Marinelli was a disaster, Mike Tice sucked, and Art Shell had his moments but his teams eventually sucked.
ReplyDeleteThey're just not creative enough and they don't carry the same respect as other coaches.
@Keith Don't forget Joe Bugel on that list
ReplyDeleteDerek Jeter now has more hits than Babe Ruth.
ReplyDelete/why am I watching this?
@Kris: Haha.........Only Al Davis would make a offensive line coach the head coach. Art Shell, Joe Bugel, and now Tom Cable.
ReplyDelete@Keith wasn't Madden a defensive line coach before Al picked him to be head caoch?
ReplyDeleteMichaels: "Some WAGs said that Williams should've carried Bryant's pads off the field, but Roy would've drop them. But some WAGs said that."
ReplyDeleteHollywood Wags?
They're going to the inspirational route for the Madden commercials this year?
ReplyDelete@Kris: No. Madden was actually a secondary coach.
ReplyDeleteThat was the Just Turnovers O'Sullivan I remember.
Jon: "As soon as you mention Dodgers, Joe just shuts down."
ReplyDeleteJoe: "No, when you mention dummies I shut down."
Better than opening your mouth to remove all doubt.
@Keith we were both wrong. Madden was linebackers coach for the Raiders.
ReplyDelete/Wikipedia never lies'd
@Kris: I knew it had to do with something on defense besides the line.
ReplyDeleteI guess it's preseason for the TV crews, too.
ReplyDeleteWade Phillips lost 40 pounds on NutraSystem?
Michaels: "He hardly looks emaciated."
...and ESPN just showed Spike Lee on camera with some Sally Jesse Raphael glasses on.
ReplyDelete6-0 Boys at the Half. Save me, Joe Morgan!
ReplyDeleteThe only two Super Bowls the Niners played in that were competitive were against the Bengals.
ReplyDeleteLoved how Emmitt pandered to the Gators tonight after not mentioning them during last night's speech.
ReplyDelete@RJBO: That made me laugh. After a bunch of complaining by Gator fans, Emmitt pandered to them.
ReplyDeleteIt's the 4th quarter of a snooze of an exhibition game, and it's STILL too early to talk about F@#%e.
