Or some shit like that. Gimme your guesses, and the winner gets a dream date, with kneepads, with Paul Williams. And a baby’s arm holding an apple. 2nd place is a weekend at Dennis’s. 3rd place is a week there.
I know there aren’t too many different options here, but hey, this looks like a great set of games for once. And, I tell ya one thing, it sure is a hell of a lot more fun having the Niners actually involved in the playoffs than watching them for strictly betting purposes. With a bye no less . . .
If you want to read my detailed breakdown of how I think the playoffs go (sure you do), just click the previous thread. I’ve gotten 3 predictions so far. Here’s the schedule of games:
Saturday, Jan. 7th
6.Bengals (9-7) vs. 3.Texans (10-6), 1:30 pm NBC
6.Lions (10-6) vs. 3.Saints (13-3), 5:00 pm NBC
Sunday, Jan. 8th
5.Falcons (10-6) vs. 4.Giants (9-7), 10:00 am FOX
5.Steelers (12-4) vs. 4.Broncos (8-8), 1:30 pm CBS
All times are Pacific Standard times. I have no idea when these games start in the Philippines.
Phil, did your internet palm tree connection fall down?
No it’s good. We had company visiting for a few days from the US, drove ’em all over the places we grew up in as their family and mine were here with Del Monte at the same time. Lots of laughs, fun.
Naw just a good time to kick back with the off week is all. Getting ready for the playoff run… Man can you believe a “playoff run”?
I could figure out the starting times but won’t be watching any games. The 9 hour time diff makes it troublesome and there’s only one team I really follow. It’s not the Cows or the Bronks…
Picking Steelers, Houston, Saints, Falcons
I’ll stick with the Texans but after reading Chuck’s blog on Houston/Cincy it seems the better bet are the Bengals
Detroit, Atlanta, Pittsburgh, Houston..
Looking at TF’s picks, you’d think he was trying to win a week with yours truly. Detroit? Yeah. You hope the Lions win. You’re praying that they win. You’re selling your soul craving and longing that they win. You want no part of Brees and Co. here next Saturday. To quote Dan Patrick, the Saints are “en fuego.”
The Saints, winners of eight straight and undefeated at home are now going to lose? Even a Tim Tebow novena couldn’t make that happen.
Eat shit. I posted long ago that the 49ers would defeat NO handily..
“Joker, Joker, Joker!” I loved that old game show. I bet this idiot contestant is picking the Lions as well…
I always liked Press Your Luck:
Yeah, The “whammies” were a hoot. I remember that guy who taped all their shows and found a certain sequence pattern. He eventually got on the show, spun like 35 times and amassed over $100K in cash and prizes and then said thank you very much.
This will a fun thread if Death Threat is starting in already.
Now that I know that your shrink is worried that you’ll kill yourself if you can’t post threats, I”ll go easy on you ,DTD . So anyway, what’s your pick in the Dallas game? Oh, wait…
Not if you chime in. You kill every goddamn joke. You’re Mr. No Fun Zone.
That’s why he’s AKA Lazarus = we gotta keep bringing the dead back to life, hahar…
Denny, you stopped being funny when you dug your poor Mom up to assist with your death threats. Leave the poor dear out of it, for shame..
So how much $$$ you got on the Lions at 9/2 on the ML?
Dear old Mom woulda booked your bet.
How did you get her past the nurses? I’ll send you some Fabreze…well, maybe ammonia
SB XLVI ODDS
GB 8/5
NE 7/2
NO 5/1
BAL 6/1
PIT 10/1
SF 12/1
NY 20/1
HOU 35/1
ATL 40/1
DET 50/1
DEN 60/1
CIN 70/1
How can the Steelers, a team that has to play this weekend, this weekend on the road no less. How can the Steelers, these same Steelers that the Niners just beat not three weeks ago. How can the Steelers be favored over the 49ers?
Must be the quarterback.
I think it may have something to do with playoff experience, Dennis.
If Worthlessberger isn’t moving well, he won’t make is past the AFC Championship game. By hook or crook, they’ll get by Denver.
So, what are your picks, Dennis?
I mean, NO and Denver are obvious.
Well, didn’t you pick the Saints 44-41, last team with ball likely wins? Doesn’t seem you think it *that* obvious, Chuck.
I’m referring to Dennis’ picks, Mike. I’m inferring that he thinks Detroit has no chance, and that the Annointed One beats Pittsburgh.
I’ve never even seen Tebow play (may explain everything) just rooting for the hometown boy. But I doubt they’re gonna get past Pittsburgh
Sorry. He hadn’t made any picks, so I thought it seemed that’s what you thought. Denver does scare me, though. Ben played like shit when he tried to go hurt against us, and Denver can run. It would set football back a century, we really need DTD to refocus his sights on T-Blow..
Still and all, even with a gimpy Worthlessberger, I still think Pittsburgh’s D doesn’t give up much to Timmy Two-Step, and out-scores Denver.
A low scoring affair I’m sure. . .
I don’t wager on football anymore, if I did I’d have Detroit and 10 1/2. Hey, it’s my understanding that no one has killed himself by jumping off the GG Bridge seaward. You’ll be famous if you go that way.
The only game I care about is NO/Detroit. I hope/expect the Saints to win. Then we can see what should be a titanic struggle of styles vs. the Niners. I believe in playing the best teams in the POs. In the good ol’ days, the path to the SB always seemed to route through Big D or SF, you just knew it would come down to that. And, the Niner/Cowboy games were epic, regardless of winner. Saints/Niners wouldn’t be at that level, but the run up and anticipation would be as good as we’ve seen in these parts in a long time…
18-20 years?
Saints will be a challenge but we’re gonna beat ’em
NO/Deetroit should be a pretty fun game to watch.
Seeing what Deetroit did on the road last week in GB (no defense notwithstanding) was pretty impressive. I just don’t know all that much about Atl. I mean, the Niners should have beat them LAST year. And that was with an inept coaching staff. If Detroit wins, I guss I’d rather see Atl than NY.
They lost by 2 TDs, but Stafford threw for over 400 yards against the Saints earlier. We all know the Lions can make dumb mistakes, but considering his age, I’d take Stafford over Brees or Rodgers hands down ( yes, DTD, even over Alex). If he doesn’t get playoff jitters, they can win in NO. What’s become a threat is the Saint’s running game, they need to control that…
After nearly a decade, I’m not too picky about who they face.
Bengals,Saints,Giants,Steelers, Book It!!
0-1 kat
That’s a good safe bet. Are you wagering?
Suh missed that game, didn’t he? He should help stop NO’s run game.
Well, the Pro Bowl slight has been rectified- Bowman joins a league high 5 49ers named as first team All Pros..
I’ll get my picks in tomorrow morning. I still haven’t got final confirmation from my NFL insider.
Translation: Frank’s asleep.
How’s this for an omen? I was looking at tomorrow’s PPs for Aqueduct when a Tim Tebow highlight appeared on the tube. It was one of those many shots of him “Tebowing.” Anyway, at that very moment I was looking at the #9, Trinity Warrior. I looked at his owners and it said, “Say A Prayer Stable.” I’ll be saying one alright…
For what?
The horse me thinks. Trinity Warrior. Or possibly Tebow leader of the other horses, the Bronks. Might be a prayer for the good fortune of all the Saints who I’m sure Denny’s got bucks on to beat Detroit.. Then again he might be praying to see if helps Lazarus rise from the dead.. I dunno.
I’ll follow the results of the games, read the commentary here and compare reality to Chuck’s previous column analyzing the Wild Card teams… See what came to pass on everyone’s picks
I think DTD is working up the guts to the right thing for NFL football- he must stop Tebow for good…true Christians and football fans eveywhere are praying for Death Threat’s success on this, his most important mission.
http://cbsdenver.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/skibowing.jpg?w=420&h=315
My personal opinion is Tebow is the spiritual grandson of the great Lebowski.
Ok jokes aside I do have a question: Can someone please tell me more about Lebowski who I vaguely recall only by his name (rhymes with Skibow). Chuck, Flavor?
LOL, googled ‘Lebowski’. Naw that ain’t happening…
Only possible connection I can see is the film The Great Lebowski was made by the Coen brothers. Think about this Coen = Cohn. Let me pray on it for a bit more…
Ok that’s weak but Phil is an easy guy to please.
I’m still waiting for the other shoe to drop re: our assistant coaches possibly leaving for greener pastures:
Matt Barrows sez- “…the longer the 49ers go in the playoffs, the more Roman and the other assistants become desirable for other teams. Roman obviously wants to go off on his own and has been very aggressive of late in putting his name and face over the airwaves. (His name surfaced in relation to the Penn State job just as O’Brien emerged as the top candidate. Coincidence? I think not.)”
http://blogs.sacbee.com/49ers/archives/2012/01/greg-roman-isnt-leaving-for-now.html
It would seem Harbaugh can cover for losing our OC Greg Roman or will be able to get a good replacement. This happened a lot with the BW teams: the assistant were in great demand. Maybe it comes to nothing and he (them) stays. Fangio is the one I really would hate to lose.
NINERS WILL REST!
When it comes to assistants……well frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn!
That’s the #1 movie quote of all-time according to the AFI.
1 “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn.” Rhett Butler Clark Gable Gone with the Wind 1939
2 “I’m going to make him an offer he can’t refuse.” Don Vito Corleone Marlon Brando The Godfather 1972
3 “You don’t understand! I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I could’ve been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am.”[2] Terry Malloy Marlon Brando On the Waterfront 1954
4 “Toto, I’ve got a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore.” Dorothy Gale Judy Garland The Wizard of Oz 1939
5 “Here’s looking at you, kid.” Rick Blaine Humphrey Bogart Casablanca 1942
6 “Go ahead, make my day” Harry Callahan Clint Eastwood Sudden Impact 1983
7 “All right, Mr. DeMille, I’m ready for my close-up.”[3] Norma Desmond Gloria Swanson Sunset Boulevard 1950
8 “May the Force be with you.” Han Solo Harrison Ford Star Wars 1977
9 “Fasten your seatbelts. It’s going to be a bumpy night.” Margo Channing Bette Davis All About Eve 1950
10 “You talkin’ to me?” Travis Bickle Robert De Niro Taxi Driver 1976
I’ll have to double check, but I don’t think “Stay thirsty” made it.
“You talkin’ to me?”
Actually Del “Stay thirsty” is the number one all-time quote over here at Phil’s place. But PLEASE don’t mention this to skeebs as you will accused of being a miserable alcoholic if not a sexual deviant. Mums the word, ok. Right then
BTW great post
10.5: “Are you men with the police?” “No ma’am. We’re musicians. We’re on a mission from God.”
11. “Oh, this is the worst-looking hat I ever saw. What, when you buy a hat like this I bet you get a free bowl of soup, huh? Ohhhhh, it looks good on you though.”
12. “Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son.”
I agree on those three great choices. But I don’t think the AFI does.
I think you’ll find those lines in the AMI. American Mook Institute.
I’m not too worried about Fangio leaving. He’s prety much a dyed-in-the-wool DC.
That’s the hope, anyway. Roman? Like I said earlier, Harbaugh can pick and choose from a bunch of guys who would love to be his DC.
Well good. See ya Roman.
Lord Vic we got a brand new contract for ya
So far I have:
Phil: Hou, NO, Atl, Pitts
TF: Hou, Det, Atl, Pitts
AK: Cincy, NO, NY, Pitts
Nip: Hou, NO, NY, Pitts
UC: Cincy, NO, Atl, Pitts
Flav: Cincy, NO, NY, Pitts
DTD: ?, NO, ?, Denver
Anyone else that I missed? Rob? Snarkk, Berger? Not much love for Denver . . .
Dennis, I need your last 2 predictions . . .
Chuck, you just assumed that I, I mean Frank, would pick the Broncos.
Frank doesn’t like the horses. He keeps reminding me that my gambling on said horses cuts into his Fancy Feast consumption. If I have to eat bologna, then Frank can eat generic.
That’s a lie. I’d never buy him that crap. Frank eats better than I do.
I can vouch for Berger, I talked to him this morning…he has the same four selections this weekend as I do. I mean as Frank does…
All three of us are doomed.
Yeah prolly but I’m guessing the last supper will be superb…
Right now we got a horse race between Nipper and Phil who called the first 2 wins correctly. Manana we’re gonna see the moment of truth. Atlanta or NY?
Whose gonna be da Prince of da Prognosticators?
And now the moment you’ve all been waiting for…No. I’m not announcing my retirement from Chuck’s blog. You should be so lucky. Without further ado, here’s Frank’s Fearless Feline Forecast:
Bengals. The Bengal Tiger and Siamese are like 3rd cousins. That’s an easy one.
Saints. You’d think Frank would go with another relative, the Lion. Wrong! King of the jungle?
Frank takes that as a personal affront. Frank’s King.
Giants. Although Frank likes birds, he likes little birds. Not those big 747 Falcons that’d swoop on down, swipe him up and have him for lunch. No Falcons!
Steelers. Although this may come as a bit of a surprise, there’s some rhyme and reason behind it. As most of you know, the cat was revered in Egypt. It was worshiped as a god. The Egyptians had many gods. Tim Tebow has only one God. Frank believes there’s strength in numbers.
“The needs of the many gods outweigh the needs of the few or one God.” —Frank Spock
Retire from Chuck’s blog? Shit Dennis I heard a rumor Chuck is considering you for the Comeback Blogger of the Year award.
Bengals? BENGALS? Frank now 0-1, joins elite company of Berger, DMD, LOL Cohn
Hey, I know we all have our Wild Card picks in, but how bout our SB picks?
I’ll, I mean Frank, will give it a shot…
AFC
CIN > HOU and PIT > DEN
NE > CIN and BAL > PIT
NE > BAL
NFC
NO > DET and NY > ATL
NY > GB and NO > SF
NO > NY
SB
NO > NE
“So it shall be written, so it shall be done.” —Yul Brynner as Rameses.
I’m just full of Egyptian catshit today…
If Frank was responsible for your 4-12 Niner calls, you might consider this for part of your Super Bowl buffet..
http://sorry-bad-taste.gone
You cease to amaze me. Last week it was the glorification a poor pizza deliveryman who got killed on his bicycle while witnessed by a nun and her Catholic school children. Today you’re promoting “braised cat.” Not any cat, but my Frank the cat.
You, and I’d imagine most everyone else on this, and every other blog knows how much Frank means to me. I think my latest attempt at picking this weekend’s winners as if it were Frank speaking would have conveyed that thought. Of course my intent was to *try* and inject some humor with my picks. But nonetheless, the mere fact that I gave Frank the floor should flip you the switch.
I only make threats. You, TF, carry them out. You killed another joke.
Is Frank a thirsty cat?
I change his water bowl thrice a day. You think stale beer is bad? You should listen to Frank bitch and moan about dirty water.
Go get me some goddamn ice. And Frank some Jonny Cat litter.
Spare me the phony outrage -you bring Mommy in to help you stab Alex, and you are freaked by a cat recipe. Cat’s tasty, BTW..
Precisely Del. You see Lazarus’ job is to kill things DEAD around here so we normal miracle workers can step in with just the right amount of humor and class and- SHAZAMM -bring the dead back to life. Happens several times a day right here. You seen the numbers of posts when the Sons aren’t around? Talk about dead.
BTW Del Mar do you fail to understand? Jokes are bad. Insults are good. Got it?
Okay fine
Gee, Mike. Pushing the envelope of taste, aren’t we?
Sorry. Didn’t like the link, or the previous pic of the unfortunate kid who was hit by a car.
Stomp your feet Chuck ……
Well Nip if he doesn’t this shit gonna continue until we all leave…
There was never a picture of a dead kid.
So? It’s a kid’s bike that was smashed by a car with crime scene tape aropund the entire intersection. They wouldn’t do that for a hurt kid. But they would for a dead one.
Please cease and desist from posting vile pictures or recipes.
Dipshit was pretendind the cat was making the calls, and I imagined what might be done with a cat who lost all your money. You’re both absolutuely FOS, there was nothing out of line…
Better avoid Animal Planet, Emergency ER ,and the 6:00 news..
That wasn/t a vile recipe, it looked pretty good really..
The other was Tony Romo fucking up a pizza delivery.
Chuck you let my nomination of Dennis for The Comeback Blogger of the Year Award go through, he and the rest of us miracle workers will clean up the messes sad old angry Lazarus keeps making here is his, ah…YOUR….playpen. Just a thought…
It’s a lot easier when we don’t have to keep raising the fucking dead around here Chuck.
Signed, Phil, one of the Sons
Eddie D finally made it the Football HOF finalist list of 15. Roger Craig, again, did not make it. Aeneas Williams and Dick Stanfel made it. Hmmm. Eddie D or Aeneas Williams or Dick Stanfel? Hard to figure who among ’em had the biggest impact on the NFL…
Wow. There’s a game-changer. i was going to say how nice TJ Yates was looking in getting the score tied. Now a gift TD by Texas’ defense. 10 points in 14 seconds . . .
Shit. GREAT play by J.J. Watt for that INT TD return.
That’s what I, I mean Frank gets for trusting a ginger. Are there any grey QBs like Frank? I think Warren Moon won five Grey Cups as an Eskimo up in Canada, eh?
But if Warren Moon had to be registered with The Jockey Club, he wouldn’t be labelled a grey horse. 😀
That play by Watt reminded me of our Justin Smith. That’s the highest compliment I can give. Just fantastic. Justin Smith, in Frank’s mind, is the NFL Defensive Player of the Year. Frank knows J. Allen will get much consideration, but J. Smith did what he did on a 13-3 team. Allen, for all his talents, his team finished just the opposite at 3-13.
Justin Smith for DPOY.
Smith isn’t going to win it, I don’t think, because he finished the year quietly. I know he’s been slowed by injuries but he didn’t do shit the last couple of weeks
Shit. The ginger and his offense seem just a bit rattled. Need to gain composure…now!
TF, I’m asking you sincerely and politely…please don’t bring up my dead Mother again.
Thank you.
You brought her up. To further another Death Threat “joke”. Fuck you.
But as long as you don’t use her a plot device in one of your hilarious Death Threats, I’ll honor your request.
Lazarus has an endless supply of negativity he never takes responsibility for. He just dumps it here and us miracle workers gotta bring the dead back to life.
Chuck help the Sons! You are our only hope! Help us Oh Grand Master!
Gets fucking old huh Denny? Chuck will never catch Flavor with all the energy we gotta spend mopping up endless shit from the Laz.
I asked Denny about his mom so actually I brought her up…
Chuck, change my NO pick to Detroit. I agree with twin about Stafford. And they both play on artificial turf so Detroit might be able to hang. I’m not betting on any of these playoff games but if I was I would hit Detroit +10.5 hard. Maybe even the $ line…
Then he used her to help kill Alex- now I know she couldn’t really do that, just I know I can’t insult a talking bookie cat… but Denny dearest- you kinda lose Mom as an “untouchable” when you have her stabbing our QB from the grave..
Flav, you might have brought up my Mom in the first place, but TF loves to beat her memory like a dead horse. Dead Mom? Dead horse? Dead cat? I’m sure TF has a link and photo for that recipe…
Add one Emily, one Lost in the Fog and one Frank the Cat. Preheat oven to 350, cover and baste every 15 mins. Using an approved FDA meat thermometer, check often. When the internal temp. reaches 150 degrees, take out the thermMOMeter and shove it straight up TF’s ass. Add pan gravy and enjoy…
I think you respectfully asked that he not bring her up anymore and I believe that he will honor that request. Of course, that’s just a guess.
I think that over the years we have all drawn our lines about topics that are off limits. For the most part, those lines aren’t crossed once defined….
As I said, the luster of Mommie’s memory loses some of it’s sheen when she has a knife in her hand..
You’re a hoot- you have Mommie Dearest leaving the grave to assist one in another of your Smith sicko threats ,but *I’m” beating her memory like a horse”. I actually chided you for disgracing your Mom. I have more respect than you do..
There you go again, taking everything so literal. You take that literalness and kill the joke. But not only this time did you once again squash the joke, you had to bring Mom into it.
I love a good joke as much as the next guy. Leave well enough alone…
Nice recipe.
Naw Lazarus will never shut up until Obi Wan the Chuckster gets off his ass and puts a cork in it. Limits would be good. I would never follow a Lazarus link for example. Or if I was the blogmeister and found it offensive I would perform my own little miracle and make that piece of shit disappear.
BUTT NO! Shit stays up making us all sick, angry and depressed. And Flavor’s posting lead remains secure. (No offense to Flavor, chuck will never catch ya at this rate). Chuck, Grant did a good job @ Inside da 9ers hacking off a few weird posts- he can show you. Please?
Drive the Sons away and it will be you and spitblood/Lazarus all alone….again.
Just to clarify: unless some things change, I’m done here. Anyone who wants to keep in touch, do it at Skeebersville or email me at grumpyninerfan at yahoo dot com. Life is too short to subject one’s self to endless horseshit. Sorry, Chuck.
Amen. Now. Can you, I and the “Tebow Tabernacle,” fulfill our mission?
Phil, little do they know that our and Tim Tebow’s mission is quite simple…
Shake the hand of the man or woman next to you and wish them the best.
That’s another Son down Chuck. Grumpy I’ll be in touch @ yer email for laughs. Sorry can’t make it to skeebs place, he’s not trustworthy.
Let’s see, Sons list of recently gone bloggers:
Rob- gone
Berger- gone
grumpyguy- gone
NJ49er- gone
Free advice: “Moderators should moderate neither taking one side or another too emphatically. Keep it safe by immediately removing offensive shit and chronic abusive attacks on members”
People like what is easy and fun. They do not like what is hard and unpleasant and those that make it so. Or as Denny AKA Frank might say “Shovel the shit outta the stables then you can run yer horses”.
Easiest thing in the world = having fun and being happy, spreading it around. Tebow agrees I checked…
Very surprised by how good Yates has been and how bad Dalton’s been. Chalk those 2 performances up to home/road effects
Detroit could surprise people with their defensive effort. The only real thing they’ve got going against them is there dumb shit coach
Their not there–big violation of my own pet peeve and I can’t edit the comment. Slow burn…
Cincy is getting pushed all over the field.
Harbaugh Reality Check: it pisses me off that Doug Baldwin and Ryan Whalen are playing in the NFL right now while we toil away with the worst receiving core in the league. Also, what’s our 6th round pick doing these days? Working at Sports Authority?
Woo hoo!
0-1 so far . . .
I think not being a great team must really be a negative when you play on the road in the playoffs. Green bay rolled through the road games last year but they gave proven to be a great team.
Despite that somewhat mundane epiphany, I’m still going with Detroit…
Foster has the worst hair cut ive ever seen
So are you taking the Lions +435 on the ML? If you did, you’re a better betting man than I am. The O/U has now reached 60. My initial instinct said it should be 76 trombones, Robert Preston. My instincts SUCK.
Saints 31 Lions 24. That’s a total of 55. That was Mom’s favorite number.
In not betting the game since I dont bet online anymore and my Reno buddy is out of town. All those college games though were on parlays that all cashed with 5 more set to fall on Monday night…
To keep the math simple for y’all: with $100 I’d bet $20 on the ML and $80 on the lions +10.5.
I hear ya. But I don’t like your distribution. If you really believe in the Lions, Frank and I would go 60% ML and 40% +10 1/2. But that’s just the raving lunacy of a cat and his master. Check that. A man and his cat master.
Good luck.
That’ s the prob with the Falcons. They can look so bad at times on the road. But so can NO. As evidenced by their baffling loss to the Rams. Which gives everyone hope.
I do have to say, I thought Deetroit was going to fold up like a cheap suit when things started going bad. But they did turn it around and get into the playoffs. Their schedule didn’t hurt though.
Still think NO wins.
side note: Faith Hill looked 10x better as a brunette.
If she would go ginger, she’d go through the roof…
I wanted Joan Jett…………..
side note No. 2: Al Michaels if the fucking best. Case closed.
I love him. But that’s a wig.
Speaking of Eddie D, think his copping a plea keeps him out of the HOF?
He should be in the HOF regardless. By the way, did u see the south Carolina bowl game. Their receiver and the cornerback for Nebraska both got kicked out of game for fighting early in the 3rd Q— then the south Carolina reciever who shamed himself and his team by getting booted got voted the player of the game and was on field holding trophy getting showered with praise by the bowl sponser rep. Weird scene.
He should, but I don’t know. These voters get skittish around gambling/payoffs/felonies.
Al michael’s wears a wig right? That’s not just dyed hair. The entire front half looks like a piece. How do guys think they are fooling anyone with those ridiculous things?
I think it’s paint.
Ha! That’s even worse!
I wish I could help you guys on that one. I’m bald myself. I just shave what I have left off.
I looked like Curly Howard. Or, to keep it in times, Nate Shitholtz.
You’ll never see Dennis with a comb over…
Fuck. GREAT opening drive by Stafford and his Lions.
I might have to go wake up Frank. He’s gonna be pissed…
That opening drive was huge. Stafford is legit and Detroit has several game changing play makers on their team. They just might pull this off.
Long way to go but not too early to start thinking about a talking gerbil for backup, DTD..
Funny you should mention a “gerbil.” I had the “pleasure” of meeting Richard Gere many moons ago. This meeting happened after both that supposed falsehood and the time when he made “An Officer and a Gentleman.”
I shook his hand and asked Richard what it was like to work with Debra Winger.
He said she was, “a delight.”
You know what’s not delightful? This fucking DET/NO game.
Give me, I mean Frank, a blindfold and cigarette…
I met him too. HE’S the size of a gerbil.
side note No. 3. No! I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting her, but I do love Debra’s role as to the (Award winning) daughter of Shirley MacLaine in “Terms of Endearment.”
Shirley was A #1. Her interaction with Jack, “the astronaut” was pure gold.
Shirley + Jack = pure gold. pure gold baby.
Detroit got a little jobbed there. The ref should have never blown that play dead. Cost Deetroit a TD.
Either of these teams could score 3 TDs in 5 minutes…against each other, not the 49ers…
Deetroit is making dumb mistakes down here.
My “Under” is looking good…Now.
NO follows with one of their own. Not sure why you throw a pass that forces the last TO.
Matters not, though. Should be a TD.
He never loses control even thought it touches the ground.
Uh, he does lose control.
What a wimpy call…
Saints could have 4 or 5 TOs, they’re living right..
Props to the DET D this first half. Hats off.
Good stuff, Maynard. Frank and I are thoroughly captured. So much so that we’re to going pour ourselves another drink.
Only 24 pts in the 1st half? Shhh. The Under is looking OK.
Don’t tell Frank, he’s still sleeping on it. 😛
Fuck. I can’t speak for the rest of you, but I’m in trouble for the 2nd half.
Frank just woke up. He’s now cleaning himself and is about to start kicking ass and take names…My defense? I’m loaded with Fancy Feast cans and head butts.
Frank’s response? He had Meachem on his FF team. Catch the goddamn ball!
And the TD goes to Henderson…he’s not on my, I mean, Frank’s FF team. Catshit!
In my experience there has never been a humble Siamese cat. Never. Pound for pound a Siamese has bigger stones than any beast. Even a fucking Lion.
I’m sure Frank would agree that you are a wise man to listen closely and follow his lead
NO has to feel good. Now up in points after giving up two turnovers in the first half. I’m not sure the offenses are this good, or the defenses are that crappy. Some of both, I guess….
Payton showed some cojones going for it on 4th and short with the Brees sneak on the NO side of the field. Then they hit the big pass and on into the Ezone right after. That kind of coaching wins PO games…
N.s
Relax Denny, NO Saints are now responding to yer prayers and are stepping on the gas.
Fearless prediction from the philmeister: 38- 31 Niners at the Stick this Saturday. Quote: “Saints ain’t no Lazarus. No rising from the dead after facing 9ers D”
Dbacks for Saints are Krap…
Dbacks for Lions are Krap…
Man among boys…Calvin Johnson total Stud has NO DB.s sniffing his Jock as he blows.by them.
Shit, who was the guy from Slobispo? Ramses? Dude was like 6’5″ 220. And fast. He was drafted a couple years ago in the 3rd round . . .
Ramses Barden 6’6″ – 224 lb. Giants drafted him . . .
Hasn’t done all that much.
Deetroit is tackling for shit . . .
If Deetroit could tackle, they’d be in good shape.
Wow. NO is dodging bullets all over the field.
Heh heh. Cute ad with the non-playoff J-E-T-S. Figures. Only in commercials are the Jets relevant. . .
If NO goes on to win this one, I’m feeling good. No way the Niner rushing D is giving up these long runs, and Niner LBs are so much better on short coverages and tackling, it’s crazy. Niners get a coupla turnovers, I like their chances against NO…
What the HELL was that play by the Lions? Plenty of time left, Stafford throws a duck?…
Yeah, I hear ya, Snarkk. I’ve never seen so many missed tackles sine the last Raider game.
And yeah, not the time to throw the panic deep ball. If you throw that, it HAS to be to Mergatroid.
Ouch. And the wheels fall off the Deetroit wagon.
Wow, Lions played ’em pretty even for 3+ quarters, then implode. That Stafford wounded duck pick was just nonsense, and a morale killer. Harbaugh was right, he focused on prepping for NO. Schwartz can shake his own hand into the offseason…
If the Niners Dbacks play like the Lions’ Dbacks did tonight Fangio will have an aneurysm — after he strangles somebody….
We won’t miss those TOs that Detroit blew. As I said a couple weeks ago, I look for them to handily beat NO..
well, I don’t know about *handily* but I will be happy to watch that unfold next Saturday. New Orleans has to tighten up a lot of shit to play us— our defense is a lot different than the Lions.
I call “handily” 10 points…like Chuckles and I both said, Brees will not get away with a game like tonight against us. 27-17 Niners…
It’s all about getting pressure on Brees. Deetroit didn’t get enough, and he still threw 3-4 balls that should have been picked. Like Snarkk said, the Niners don’t miss those tackles in the run game. Deetroit played flat and scared. Much like their head coach.
And still hung with them for 3 quarters.
Pedal to the metal…Detroit Wheels got 4 blown tires.
Here’s where Del Mar and I gonna part ways: 38-31 Niners and it won’t be that close. Niners advance to Championship Game.
Oh well, the Schwartz wasn’t with them tonight.
Schwartz didn’t even try to run, it was close enough most of the way to do it, just 6 rushes from a RB..
That doesn’t get old . . .
Love it, first time viewer
Phil, if you’re ever in Pinole, (the hometown of the Heisman Trophy Winner, Gino Torretta), please stop by and allow me to buy you a beer so I can can tell you how much his brother was better than that worthless, no good POS).
I went to HS (Salesian) and watched the elder Torretta play.
Gino? He was a mook and went to a public school like PVS.
Only the true Catholics, like Geoff and myself went to Salesian. 😀
The Torretta’s still own the Antlers Tavern. Their watering hole has, and will continue to be a staple of my life…but I digress…
Digress? No. I mean this from the bottom of my heart…if any of you Mooks ever happen to come by Pinole, I’d love to buy ya beer at the Antlers.
One of these days Denny I’m gonna make the trek over there again prolly with the wife n kid in tow but we’ll be sure to look you up and collect that beer my friend. Be happy to get you one in return. Maybe we can stop in and see the Bergermeister, try a little George Bricknell or sumptin’. You game?
By then the Niners will be gunning for Super Bowl win number X (10). In addition to being HC Harbaugh will be running his World Famous Handshaking School and Psych Job Institute. Long waiting list I’m thinking?
Opening line…Saints -3 1/2 with an O/U of 47 and 1/2.
Needless to say, I find both of those numbers not only low, but insulting.
If Chuckles allows you to troll all week, I’ll be ruining your jokes all week.
At least I tell jokes that you can attempt to ruin.You? Your tales are worse than fingernails across a chalkboard.
You think a dead relative stabbing Alex is a joke.
Let’s get the PBA ball rolling…Brees threw for 466 last night. That’s 2 and 1/2 good games for Alex. Retort?
As I said, if Chuckles allows your trolling, it will be a very unpleasant week on the blog. Your question? What Brees did last night is utterly irrelevant..however, against our defense he would have 3 interceptions so Brees throws for 400, Alex 200, Alex wins 27-17..
You’re telling the that Drew Brees and his Saints will only score 17 pts?
“You old ignorant fish-eyed fool.” —Aunt Esther
That one TD less than their average against ALL teams away from home. Our defense isn’t average, Wet Brain.
What’s the proper etiquette when you see a former girlfriend of yours in the obits?
Flowers? Carnations? White? White carnations in an arrangement that reads, “This is what you get for breaking my heart, you soulless bitch. I hope you rot in hell.”
Too much?
From you, perfect. You could add that you wish you could have offed her yourself. That would be especially effective in a card to her loved ones…
How many pts will it take for the Niners to win next week? And don’t crack wise by saying, “one more than the Saints get.”
I’m thinking 27, 28 minimum. Mum? Maybe I should send my dead ex-girlfriend some chrysanthemums? Reminds me of the joke if Obama took over for St. Peter at the Pearly Gates…
A White guy and a Black guy both die in a car accident and arrive at the gates of Heaven to be judged. Obama tells them “God believes in affirmative action and wants to give Blacks equal opportunity to get into Heaven as Whites. There are many beautiful flowers in Heaven, and in order to enter Heaven, all you have to do is be able to spell the flower that I ask you to spell.”
Obama turns to the black guy and says “Spell rose, Tyrone.”
Tyrone replies “Uhhh, R-O-Z-E”.
“Not quite. Try again, Tyrone.” Then Obama silently mouths the letter S.
“Oh, yeah, exclaims Tyrone. R-O-S-E!”
“Very good, Tyrone. Welcome to Heaven.”
Obama then turns to the white man and says “Spell chrysanthemum.”
Just make your pick and shut the pie hole you pretend to shove food into.
So the black guy can’t spell “rose”? Good joke for alcoholic racist pigs….
You’re telling me to make my pick on Sunday for a game that won’t be played until next Saturday? I might not be the best prognosticator in the world, but even I know better than that. I learned long ago that “good things come to those who wait.”
As for you wanting my pick now…you can just anticipate. Like the makers from Heinz.
Next week you might try the gerbil, a rat, a cockroach…Frank hasn’t done well for you, DTD..
Hey Dennis….How to you get a nun pregnant?
Ans……..Dress her up as an alter boy…
How are the picks going?
I’m 1-1
Kat 1-1
Death Threat 0-2 ( plus the regular season 4-12 on the 49ers)
Phil: 2-0
Nip 2-0
Chuckles 1-1
Flav 1-1
Excuse you? I’m 0-2? You better run those numbers through you Blogculicator 2012 PRO Model again.
And if you actually thought that I thought the 49ers would lose each time I picked against them…well, you missed out on yet another joke.
Was it as good as the black man who can’t spell “rose”?
There you go again, twisting things around. The joke and punchline was actually against the WHITE guy. The denigration of the black guy was what we in the industry call the “set up.” But you wouldn’t know about that. You’re NOT funny.
Hey, guys. Wanna hear the best joke I’ve heard all year? I know it’s still early in the year, but I think this one has legs to last to the end of December.
TF thinks that Brees and his Saints will only score 17 pts next Saturday.
Now that I think about it, I think they’ll only score 17 as well — in the 1st quarter!
You know what TF’s worst nightmare is? He won’t admit it, but I know it to be true…
If by the grace of God Tebow wins today and Alex loses next Saturday…I don’t think even your good friends and doctors at USF Medical could help you with those convulsions.
I know I, I mean Frank pick the Steel Curtain today. And he and I stand by that call. But if you don’t think that the two of us will be cheering on Tebow like the Second Coming of Christ…
“Eh, he don’t know me very well, do he?” —Bugs Bunny
I think losing next week would disappoint any 49er *fan*…
And it’s *UCSF”- brain tumor patients may get “seizures”, BTW. Sufferers of Wet Brain get those as well, but convulsions are more common and frequent.As Death Threat knows by now that distended belly can’t handle solid food…
Are you implying that I’m not a *fan*? that actually made me laugh. I know it wasn’t intentional on your part, but I’ll give you 1/2 credit anyway. Kids would love me if they had me as their teacher.
Kids would love me if they had me as their teacher.
See Kat’s “joke”…
What was it? I’m too fucking lazy to look it up. If it had anything to do with implying me with Jerry Sandusky, that’s just wrong. What that man did was sick and perverted. And, yes. If Jerry was standing in front of me right now — I’d have Frank kill him.
I don’t think Ryan got it on that 4th dn sneak.
3 inches short. I think that’s what keeps Chuck from scoring at the whorehouse.
Dennis, I get laid 3x a week. You? Maybe the same, but the knot-hole don’t count . . .
I think that’s a safety.
Good call by yours truly. 2-0 the Giants are losing. Feels like I’m watching a game from AT&T. I think we should PH for Timmeh with Shitholtz. And for the love of Christ, NO Whitey!
Why don;t you 2 get a room?
I understand that, as you said, he might be a danger to himself and others if he’s not allowed to post. I know very well that he posts a lot of his shit to annoy me, so really I’m helping him keep his head out of the oven. You’re welcome, DTD..
I told you, Chuckles- as long you allow DTD to troll, I’ll respond.
Troll? Fuck you. I pour my heart out to you and others on Chuck’s blog.
It IS therapy, and it DOES help. So kindly STFU and await my next response…
And as I said, I’m proud to be helping you stay off the ledge.
I don’t know if you have any out of pocket expenses for therapy but you could probably save some bucks by not drinking 20 hours a day..
