Jesus Christ. :beaten:

Retired. He played for the '84 Niners.

Oh, quick note on that World Bowl of American Football.

I don't have many details, but the average age of the Japanese players was 30 yrs. old. The average age of the Americans was 24.

I don't know if the Japanese team was a pro or semi pro team, but they had company logos all over their jerseys, so they definately had some major sponsorship.

As to the way the Americans behaved... they even went so far as to do that hockey thing where all the players line up at the end of the game, and one by one walk past the other team and give them a hand shake or a "good game".

The U.S. team was very careful to do things the international or Japanese way, in an attempt to make a good impression.

The Japanese team, for their part, looked sullen, depressed, and more than a little pissed off. I liked that. I don't think guys who aren't pissed off about losing should be playing.

Also, I'm at work. :mrgreen:

They show football games in Japan. Of course, they are dubbed in Japanese and they continually explain the ref calls with Japanese "subtitles" :D

I didn't see a score, but I guess they lost... Too bad.

Reeling from last week's stunning loss to Appalachian State, Michigan is getting hammered by Oregon, 32-7.

:hehe: :hehe: :hehe:

Chargers finally pull away from the Bears in the second half and win, 14-3, in a turnover-laden game. :sweat:

Pats look even more dangerous this season with Randy Moss, as they whip the Jets, 38-14...

I know. 2 seasons ago I had digital cable and I was able to see a lot of games. Right now I only have the basic channels, so I don't get any NFL games. :shamefulcry:

Raiders lose to the Lions, 36-21. :victory: :hehe:

Just lose, baby. :rofl:

Another pretty entertaining weekend of college football (unless you're a Michigan or Notre Dame fan).

Oregon is another fun PAC 10 team to watch; they've put together a nice offensive package. Just waiting for them to change their nickname from Ducks to Nike.

Don't know if Georgia is overrated or South Carolina is underrated, but it was a huge win for the Gamecocks. Very good defense played by USC, which is probably news to Steve Spurrier since he's been known to spend virtually no time with the defenses of teams that he has been head coach of.

LSU looked terrific, but then they usually are when playing on a Saturday night in Baton Rouge. Cholly Mac must be smiling somewhere.

An alphabet school from CA beat an alphabet school from UT which was a big disappointment for LDS.

Hawaii beat Louisiana Tech in overtime. Given the passing proclivity of the Warriors, that game could have lasted longer than cialis. Big game for UH next week; they travel to Sin City to play UNLV which gave highly ranked Wisconsin a scare. With all the expatriates from Hawaii living in Vegas, it's likely there will be more Warrior fans than Rebel fans. Shaka brah!

LOL.

But if the game lasted over four hours, everyone would have to see their doctor... :beaten: :hehe: :rofl:

Meh... Looks like T.O. is gonna ruin my fantasy team's chance of winning this week. :grumble:

haha the raiders just suck.

san diego is able to pull off a win!

I didn't realize that the Giants/Cowboys game would be played without defenders on the field. :hehe: 38-22 with over 7 minutes left and Giants in the redzone... [/u]

Unfortunate.

I don't like the Giants much, but I despise the Plowboys. :bleh:

Being a Steeler fan, I also hate the Cowboys, though I did pick them to win. I was rather hoping that they could do so without big games from T.O. or Witten, who are on my opponent's fantasy team. :grumble:

I'm fickle when it comes to the Steelers: I rooted for them when Cowher's team played the Plowboys in the Super Bowl, but I wanted them to lose against the Seahawks... Mainly because they beat the Colts in the AFC Championship game.... :beaten:

With the score 38-28 after the Giants fail a 2 pt try Romo hands the ball back in Dallas territory... :doh: Not exactly protecting the lead... :hehe:

Jr. Manning tosses TD number 4, his third to Plaxico Burress and the Dallas lead shrinks to 3. :doh:
