Monday Night, the Snow, and Buffalo
NFL November 17th. 2008, 6:15pm
How did Buffalo and Cleveland look remotely appealing to ESPN back when the TV schedules were being determined? A mid-November game in Buffalo? Yes, snow is expected.
Reasons to watch:
* Football in the snow can be fun!
* Maybe Buffalo can duplicate its last MNF appearance?
* Great defensive opponent for Trent Edwards to snap out of his funk!
* Maybe Kornheiser will reference Brady Quinn’s greatest hits
* Lee Evans should torch dancing Brandon McDonald a few times
We will be watching Chuck again (Jordana Brewster’s on the show for a second week in a row; she could be on Star Trek and we’d watch), so we’ll be late to the comments section party.

Places 20-40 miles south of Buffalo have almost 2 feet of snow right now. It could be an amusing watch tonight, just for that fact…
It may also be quite fun to watch Irish squirm when the Browns are beating up the Bills for the 1st 3 quarters.
It will likely be less fun when Spencer loses the bet due to another 4th quarter collapse…

@Wally: Just a little “Lake effect”, nothing to worry about. My concern is how many fans will be frozen in place like snowmen due to excessive alcohol consumption that started around Friday night. (Un?)fortunately, I will be home in Florida watching the game
November 17th, 2008 at 6:36 pm
If Brewster was on Stark Trek, I probably wouldn’t watch. If she was on Battlestar Galactica, however, I probably would.
November 17th, 2008 at 6:36 pm
Star Trek* Dammit. Been a bad spelling day for I.

So who’s the 13th Cylon?
November 17th, 2008 at 6:45 pm
…..It’s gotta be Gaius right? I mean, they made it seem like too obvious a choice, but it’s gotta be him…or Rosalyn.
November 17th, 2008 at 6:45 pm
Or Starbuck.
November 17th, 2008 at 6:46 pm
Or Apollo.
November 17th, 2008 at 6:46 pm
Or the Scottish lawyer.
November 17th, 2008 at 6:48 pm
I hope it’s not Starbuck. Or Apollo.
November 17th, 2008 at 6:49 pm
GEEK CONVENTION!
November 17th, 2008 at 6:49 pm
I heard the lady who plays Rosalyn’s not signed on for the TV movie after this last season, so I’m guessing she buys it.

You’re gonna watch “Chuck.” TBL, I’d venture to say you watch too much television. Read a book — not one about sports or media fellatio — once a year, bro. Might I suggest the new biography of Hugh Hefner?
November 17th, 2008 at 7:06 pm
If we’re doing the book recommendation, might I suggest this. (SFW)
November 17th, 2008 at 7:08 pm
fact: never seen an episode of Star Trek in my life.
also, never seen an ep of ER.
November 17th, 2008 at 7:10 pm
already reading 2 books – Winesberg, Oh and The World According to Garp. behind on both of those. plus, 2 mags back on New Yorker and haven’t even cracked the new Esquire.
with the world coming to an end, i actually think the current economy trumps both of those. got a couple other things in the hopper, plus a wife, plus the holidays, plus TBL!
i watch nothing on Tues (3 eps backed up on 90210) or Wed or Friday or Saturday.
November 17th, 2008 at 7:13 pm
TBL
- Enjoy Garp, it’s Irving’s best book, IMO. Movie’s not too bad, either.
November 17th, 2008 at 7:13 pm
TBL, you’re reading Winesberg, Oh? That’s a great book. I always took you for someone with the worst taste in the whole wide world. Now you’ve fallen into at least second place.
November 17th, 2008 at 7:16 pm
TBL
- If you’re looking for a good sports book you can knock out in a few hours, read “The GM,” by Tom Callahan. Great look at what it entails to put together an NFL team.
November 17th, 2008 at 7:21 pm
If you’re looking for quality literature, might I suggest Dean Koontz?

Man, is it just me or does Chris Carter always look like he’s pissed off about something?
November 17th, 2008 at 7:47 pm
Haha, Chris Carter just said “we’re fightin’ for inches!” He did not cite Pacino or Oliver Stone, though.
November 17th, 2008 at 7:48 pm
“On this team, we craaaaaaawl with our fiiiiiiiiiingernails for that inch!”
November 17th, 2008 at 7:51 pm
Man, is it just me or does Chris Carter always look like he’s pissed off about something?
I heard him say something today to punk Greenburg about his EXXXTRA LONG sideburns on M&M this morning that completely shut Greenburg down. I only caught about 10 seconds of it, but Greenburg should be cutting them in the next week or so, based on how self-conscious he sounded after Carter razzed him.

one thing that never seems to take a hit during hard economic times seems to be the box office. The highest opening ever for a Bond movie this past weekend. Look back around 1989 and Batman made killer money. the late 70s and early 80s with Star Wars and ET. people never stop going to the movies.
November 17th, 2008 at 9:29 pm
Sparty
- True. And this summer, when the economy was shit and gas was $4 a gallon, The Dark Knight rode multiple viewings to the number two domestic box office tally of all time (not adjusted for inflation, of course). Sadly, more and more people are going to the movies, while fewer and fewer of the films released theatrically in the majority of the country are worth seeing.
November 17th, 2008 at 9:30 pm

He is living on past success (albeit, for the most part, success in horrible movies). He’s through. He seems like a really good guy, but when he willfully plays almost the exact same character in each movie for a payday, it is easy to lose any respect.
Fuck it. He is taking dumps in solid gold toilets. Good for him. No disrespect to his success, he was a jokester and made a ton of money. I don’t have to watch his movies.

Kim – He does this every Monday. This is the NFL. It has become a 4th quarter league much like another pro league. Sketchy ref calls late in games? Check. Bunches of points scored in the 4th quarter in an otherwise boring game? Check. This game isn’t over. Although, it needs more snow.
November 17th, 2008 at 9:37 pm
Yeah, where is all the snow?
November 17th, 2008 at 9:38 pm
jpq – i could care less if they win or not. if they dont win by 6, it means nothing to me. at this rate, they’d need 3 TDs and nothing from the browns.
Buffalo, through 4 drives, has shown nothing on offense. the idea that they’re going to rattle off 3 TDs in the final 2.5 qtrs absurd.
edwards is terrified about throwing downfield because of 3 early picks.
on the plus side, Jackson rattles off 20.

I know what you mean. On Sunday, it was 55 degrees and sunny out so I decided to start my big ass burn pile and sit out there with a lawn chair, beer, and the Sunday paper. I would come in every now and again to check fantasty stats. And I was getting killed at that. So, basically burning shit and drinking beer was better than the NFL yesterday. This hasn’t been true every Sunday, but yesterday was garbage.
November 17th, 2008 at 9:46 pm

@KC: Yeah, I basically saw 3,000 people getting their picture taken in front of a $450,000 McLaren they couldn’t afford in 12 lifetimes, then wander over to talk to the Suzuki & Kia dealer when no one was looking.

Not to sound like Bill Simmons, but this is exactly out of his playbook, every time Quinn doesn’t get a flag thrown on a pass he has a funny ass look in his face that screams, “but they always threw that when I was at Notre Dame! WTF!”
November 17th, 2008 at 9:51 pm
Ah, Simmons and his infamous Manning Face catchphrase. That probably hasn’t been as funny to him at the end of the last two postseasons.

Humor was not lost in this translation, but we only had 2 games on yesterday. KC v Saints early and Chargers v Steelers for the 3:15 game. I’m not sure why. Usually, we get two games in the time slot the Chief’s aren’t playing in. They may have shown the end of the game after the other game ended, but I had fire, booze, and nice weather. One of those things is going away soon. Hint… I have an outdoor fireplace and drive by about 27 liquor stores on the commute home from work.

So Dawson hits the field goal, but really three straight throws, not understanding that?

Bills are going to win this game. 4th fucking quarter league. Fuck. Glad I stayed up. Very entertaining and I don’t know 56 yard field goal could be fixed.

The Browns will choke again. Too much time. This is awful defense.

Jaws just said good clock management, why wasn’t he running the ball before the field goal? There’s your fix. Give the home team enough time for a winning drive.
