From Bad to Worse: Merriman’s Done
NFL September 10th. 2008, 11:15am
Guess this should have been expected: Merriman gave it a shot with one leg, and then called it a season. Not to get too – bad pun alert – knee-jerk, but San Diego-Denver is a crucial game Sunday. The Broncos get Brandon Marshall back and are at home; the following week, Favre visits San Diego. We’d have to check the record books, but how many Super Bowl champs have started 0-2 or 0-3?
[No other place to put this: Pretty tremendous interview Howard Stern had this morning with sports radio guy Chris Russo. It was 37x better than Russo's terrible appearance on Letterman last night. Not that this is a surprise, but Russo came off as a giant nerd with zero ego, which makes him the polar opposite of his former partner (who took one on the chin from Letterman last night about his weight). If you can listen to the replay later, we highly recommend it. Mark's Friggin will have a recap later.]

I wanted to be a Merriman fan since he’s a Maryland guy and all, but between the steroids, and possibly being legally retarded, I’ve completely written him off. Whatta tool.
September 10th, 2008 at 11:18 AM
And he has an Aisian symbol tattoo. Ugh. Can’t stress how “My New Haircut” that is enough.

You just had to feed the NYG fans didn’t you…
September 10th, 2008 at 11:19 AM
You’re already writing them off for the next two games?

how many std’s are in that pic?

Is that Jenna Jameson? Is this an audition for the 50 Guy Cream Pie?
September 10th, 2008 at 11:21 AM
Who didn’t see this coming?
Does this signal a return to NFC dominance?
September 10th, 2008 at 11:21 AM
Am I the only one who can see Merriman in some Israeli clinic getting stem cells shot directly into the knee?
September 10th, 2008 at 11:21 AM
the jump from std’s to 50 guy cream pie didn’t take very long did it?
September 10th, 2008 at 11:24 AM
Cool_rick-your porn knowledge disgust me and Jenna Jameson doesn’t do black guys.
September 10th, 2008 at 11:25 AM
The Reigning World Champions will not have to worry about a slight 0-2 hole as the defend their title..
September 10th, 2008 at 11:26 AM
The only shots Isreal gives is AR-15 shots to kids with rocks.

“We’d have to check the record books, but how many Super Bowl champs have started 0-2 or 0-3?”
Looking better and better that my, “San Diego will be this year’s Chicago” will pan out. Just wait till the team turns on Rivers.

Speaking of this, what’s the actual policy in Hef’s/her “relationship”? Obviously, he’s fucking (I use that term loosely since he seems pretty old/frail at this point) any Playmate that enters the house that catches his fancy. Does she have carte blanche to sleep around as well? Or, as a “girlfriend”, is she expected to remain faithful?

Off the top of my head, the ‘01 Pats, the ‘07 Giants, and that’s just this decade..

Rivers, LT, Gates and one of the best o-lines in the game, compared to … Grossmann, Benson, Berrian and CHI’s brutal line? Really?

Berkley tree fuckers removed after 21 months of douchebaggery
Unfortunately it ended peacefully… just how they like it! Now it’s time to mow those trees down (memo to hippies: if you really want to ‘help’, plant new trees) and build a sports complex.

Granted, the chick in the pink is hot, but for some reason Holly just is always absurd to me. No clue why.
September 10th, 2008 at 11:46 AM
August – didn’t the school agree at the beginning to plant 3 trees for every 1 torn down?
September 10th, 2008 at 11:48 AM
I fuckin’ hope so.
September 10th, 2008 at 11:48 AM
Anyone else hear that Brad Childress totally blew off the post game hand shake with Mike Mccarthy? Is someone still mad about those tampering charges? Too bad this wasn’t Belichick, ESPN would be all over it.

“Obviously, he’s fucking (I use that term loosely since he seems pretty old/frail at this point) any Playmate that enters the house that catches his fancy.” Roeth
I don’t know. I think it is all a big marketing thing. Sure, maybe he dips his beef stick every now and again in the Holly chick. Also, he is still married.
Mike NYC – Back in the Summer, TBL ran something along the lines of a team that is projected to be really good, Super Bowl good, yet fails. Chicago was that team last year. It has nothing to do with actual players. Just meaningless gut instinct. Watch the Chargers go 15 – 1 and then lose to Jax in the playoffs.

I offered to do the surgery for free if he lends me Kendra for a weekend…still waiting on the deal.

Even without Merriman the Chargers should handily beat Denver and the Jets.
September 10th, 2008 at 11:57 AM
Even WITH Merriman, the Chargers SHOULD have handily beat Carolina
September 10th, 2008 at 12:00 PM
“Even WITH Merriman, the Chargers SHOULD have handily beat Carolina” Triston
Bingo! Bad coach. Moody Quarterback. RB that has had too long of a stretch of good health. Flip side… get to play KC and Oakland twice.
September 10th, 2008 at 12:00 PM
Lets see, Merriman plays in Cali. USC is also in Cali, and that is where OSU is going to win 21-17.
Lets talk college football please
September 10th, 2008 at 12:01 PM
KC, saw one of your comments on the VY thread about late night spots. How could you leave out Burrito King?
September 10th, 2008 at 12:03 PM
I agree…just not OSU football.
September 10th, 2008 at 12:04 PM
I’m goin’ Cal vs. Maryland Saturday, where I went from thinking Maryland looks solid to expecting to get raped by Cal in the course of one week. Thus, I’m going to get hammered, then stay hammered on campus all night to drown away my sports sorrows. I guess I might as well get excited to be goin’ to Maryland in a year.
September 10th, 2008 at 12:08 PM
Billy- Yea that game will be bad for you. Maryland should have scheduled Cal for after week 6.(When Cal always shits the bed)
September 10th, 2008 at 12:09 PM
Yeah, I’m somewhat less than thrilled after last week’s loss to Middle Tenn. Fuck life.
September 10th, 2008 at 12:09 PM
From the Russo interview, courtesy of a reader:
Howard: “Do you masturbate?”
Russo: “I can’t deny it.”
Artie: “To Willie McCovey?”
September 10th, 2008 at 12:12 PM
@Triston: Good call. I saw that as well and thought the same thing about the BK, but I was still catching up with things in my West Coast timezone.
September 10th, 2008 at 12:12 PM

I love OSU, but I can talk UT and the SEC too. Dont mind it at all
September 10th, 2008 at 12:13 PM
Triston:

Excellent point. I used to live on 7th and Michigan and it was a convienent stop on the way home from Mass St. at 2 in the morning. I don’t think I’ve ever eaten one sober.
September 10th, 2008 at 12:17 PM
@blazers – I enjoy talking about good teams in college football so I don’t mind talking OSU. things tend to get a little carried away around here when you sprinkle a little Michigan in with that OSU talk. by the way, did you ever find that aerial shot of Neyland Stadium for your wifey?
September 10th, 2008 at 12:27 PM
Yup. These pricks are most worthless people I could possibly imagine. As Bill Maher once put it so perfectly: activism has become narcissism. These people are doing it so that everyone will praise them for how much they care, not because they care to make any substantive difference.
September 10th, 2008 at 12:37 PM
Sorry August but fuck Bill Maher, and not because of his view on truee huggers.
September 10th, 2008 at 1:07 PM
TBL, I was waiting for Howard to ask Russo about Imus, but that never came up.
September 10th, 2008 at 1:12 PM
no luck with the aerial shot. We are going with a field shot of the title game in 98. enough to make the wife happy
September 10th, 2008 at 1:56 PM
“Looking better and better that my, “San Diego will be this year’s Chicago†will pan out. Just wait till the team turns on Rivers.”
Why would the team turn on Rivers? He had 3 touchdowns and a pretty fine game in week one coming off knee surgery. They ‘SHOULD’ have beaten Carolina, but there was a gaping vag of a hole in the middle of the field where the linebackers should be and the defense was absolutely gassed at the end. Such is the way of week one, so let’s not get all crazy about the Chargers not being the favorite in that awful division just yet… and the Raiders are good for what ails any team, Cutler looked good against them yes, but again, let’s not get all crazy after week one just yet… Week two, whole different story.*
*not really.
