Open Thread: Week 8

Subplots galore. Eli and JR do battle again, Dave Tomke aims for the his second consecutive win, and Andrew Stem trots out what is officially the worst running back group to ever grace a fantasy football roster. In any league. At any point in time.

Justin Fargas
Vernon Hayes
Shaun Alexander


A backup on the worst team in the NFL, a third-stringer, and a guy who has already been ruled out of action.

Good work, Stem.

This week's open thread is sponsored by an obviously wasted Connie Chung singing her farewell song when she left MSNBC. Thanks for the memories, Connie. And thanks for giving a bad name to every Asian that Dave Tomke has ever owned.



EDIT: Who knew the 49ers were wearing green sweaters today?

Strong winds are expected for the Giants-Bucs game Sunday.
Giants Stadium is often home to windy conditions, and there are reports the winds could top 40 MPH Sunday. If it happens, this won't help the passing games for either team. The Bucs should be avoided if possible and Amani Toomer is a questionable start.


Looks like it's Romo time.

I'd like to help kick things off by telling Dave a nice, hearty "fuck you."

That's right Dave- fuck you. Fuck you and anyone or anything else that resides in, resides near, passes by, looks at, or even thinks about your stupid peice of shit city or their peice of shit Tigers.

Thanks for nothing, asshole.

Why aren't comments showing up on the main page?

Damnit, Blogger.

Eli said...

Okay guys, no need to worry. The Bears are awesome again.

Dave Tomke said...

Ouch, Ed.

Also, how's this for a swing:
Reggie Bush just attempted to pass it to Marques Colston in the endzone. That would have been a shit-ton, yes a shit-ton, of points.

Instead, it was intercepted.

But Muhsin just got a TD. Thanks, buddy.

Dave Tomke said...

I know the 49ers are awful, but god damn, the Bears look like the most dominant team I've ever seen...

Through the first quarter.

Eli said...

Another Bears score.

And like Tomke said, the 49ers are freaking horrible -- but holy crap.

Who needs in-game highlights when you've got Yahoo sports one-line summaries?

"Dustin Colquitt rushed up the middle for no gain. Dustin Colquitt fumbled. Dustin Colquitt recovered fumble. Dustin Colquitt fumbled. Kelly Herndon recovered fumble and returned for 61 yards (Josh Brown made PAT)."

Colston?

JR said...

LaMont Jordan is taint.

Eli said...

I'm so sick of fantasy football. I hate it. If Mike Shanahan ever came to my door, I would not think twice about goring his intestines from his body with a meat cleaver.

I'm going to start selling my players off for drugs.

Edwin said...

Stem holds a one point edge on Larry Johnson through the afternoon games.

Eli said...

That must be disappointing for Stem. He was probably counting on big things from Shaun Alexander today.

JR said...

BEARS!
