If they keep going to London gently caress that I had to get up at 6 AM to watch two teams retard slap each other.

When you get up at 4am to watch Mike Shula and Ron Rivera throw away a game against the falcons on a motherfucking monday then you can complain.

There's two really good games that are going to be on Thanksgiving. Lions / Bears might be good if the Bears make it competitive, but I'm really looking forward to Eagles / Cowboys and then my blood pressure will spike for the Hawks / 9ers game.

What are the chances the script gets flipped and Cowboys Eagles ends up some 13 to 9 defensive bullshit and 49ers / Hawks ends up 35 to 31 shootout.

Jerry Jones shouldn't be anywhere near that list, and it's stupid how they write off the Herschel Walker trade as just good luck while admonish him for not taking Randy Moss, which most teams in the league didn't do.

I think this was posted in the sportswriting thread in SAS, but belongs here as well (if I missed it sorry) about Priest Holmes' life after football by Joe Posnanski: http://sportsworld.nbcsports.com/priest-holmes-real-life-or-fantasy/

quote:

Priest Holmes talks to himself while he waits. Talks to himself. “Come on arms,” he whispers to his arms. “I’m bigger than this injury,” he says to his mind. “I’m stronger than what’s happening to me,” he says to his body. When the feeling comes back, it comes slowly, a few centimeters of life prickling at a time, and once all feeling returns he gingerly gets out of bed. There is no more sleeping this night.

Transcript for those who don't like to spend time watching:

TRANSCRIPT:

(Removed: A few seconds of banter before the “skit” got under way.)

Sherman: “You know, the other day, Marshawn Lynch got fined $100,000. Did you know that? $100,000. And it’s like, they wouldn’t have even paid him $100,000 if he had talked, if he had spoken. Doug, do you think they would have paid him $100,000?”

Baldwin: “No, they sure wouldn’t have!”

Sherman: “Jeez, Louise. But you know who does pay me a lot of money? Beats by Dre, the wonderful headphones that I wear.”

Baldwin: “I like those headphones.”

Sherman: “But the league doesn’t let me say anything about them. Doug, why is that?”

Baldwin: “I don’t know. Sounds kind of hypocritical to me.”

Sherman: “Yeah, sounds a little bit hypocritical! It seems like we’re in a league where they say: ‘Players, you know, you don’t endorse any alcohol. Please don’t endorse alcohol; no DUIs please.’ But yet, a beer sponsor is their biggest sponsor! Doug, how do you feel about that?”

Baldwin: “Like I said: Sounds very hypocritical.”

Sherman: “Yeah, it’s interesting. It’s very, very interesting. It’s crazy. But, you know, in this offseason, you have a good time. You get to wear Neff shades, you get to wear Neff beanies, you get to eat some Campbell’s Soup. My girl was sick this week; she got some Campbell’s Soup in her and, you know, that’s always good. So kids, when you get sick, be sure to get your Campbell’s Soup in you. It’s always a great deal, very healthy, very good for you. Chicken noodle soup around this time — it’s flu season.”

Baldwin: “Speaking of health, how do you feel about the NFL making me play two games in five days?”

Sherman: “Oh my god! Jeez! I almost didn’t realize that, because they’ve been talking about player safety so much. And it’s like, two games in five days doesn’t seem like you care about player safety. It’s a little bit much for me.

“But Doug, you look pretty healthy. You look like you’ve been having a good time. You look like you’ve been eating good. What kind of sandwiches have you been having?”

Baldwin: “You know, I like to eat fresh, so I eat my Subway. And I also like to wash my Subway down with a bottle of Martinelli’s.”

Sherman: “Oh my god, Martinelli’s? Sounds like a great beverage!

“It’s fun. It’s fun to use your time in the NFL to speak about something you care about, right? Right? Because then you don’t get fined $100,000. You don’t get fined at all for this. This is how they want us to talk, right? This is what they want us to do: They want us to advertise, right Doug?”

Baldwin: “Sounds about right to me!”

Sherman: “Alright! Gotta make some money. Gotta not get fined. Anybody got any questions?”

Baldwin: “Nope, I don’t think so!”

Sherman: “Alright!”

Baldwin (to media): “Have a good day.”

Sherman (to media): “Thank you.”
