    Annnnnnd Crosby missed again. Terrible decision making by LaFleur.

    Yup. Crosby has the yips. Not the first time, though it's rare.

    Is it just me or did someone place a curse on NFL kickers?

    We all knew this team was going to suck. I just hope they can sneak 1 win in here so we don't become the first team to go 0-17. Though I guess that would be the Lion-est thing that could happen. First to 0-16, might as well secure the 0-17.

    Holy shit, in Cincy.

    If Crosby misses in overtime, he better stay in Ohio.

    So, anyone in Ohio gotta spare room?

    Settling for long field goals might be the dumbest thing highly paid coaches do.

    That spot was terrible and would have been 4th and inches. Bad decision to go for the FG.

    FOX is dumping the game to go to Dallas. Thanks, Obama!

    I am extremely annoyed he made that, because Matt LaFleur did not deserve it.

    Yup. The game should have ended in a tie.

    But I am glad for Crosby. He's done a lot for the team, and to have it end with that would have been shit.

    I love that they've miked up the uprights, so the audio of the doink matches the visual. It's definitely funnier.

    I've never seen someone manage to hit the flag on top of the upright before today.

    Saquan Barclay injured again.

    It's pretty gruesome.
    Don't say I didn't warn you.
    I mean it.
    Last chance.

    Kyle Shanahan is going to kill Trey Lance. I'm not sure he finishes the game at the rate that he's being put at risk, let alone the season.

    Can we please prevent Fox from broadcasting football? Just missed a TD because they didn't come back from commercials on time.

    It’s Giants-Cowboys, right? Who cares? :P

    Especially when Daniel Jones and Saquan Barclay look like they're out for the game.

    Still, it was a score tying TD by the Giants, from about 2yds out, so it was stupid as fuck to miss. It's not like it's a massive distance that was unrealistic.

    FOX isn't about broadcasting sports. They're about broadcasting the commercials they get paid for.

    I just saw on a screen crawl that the league may look into punishing Gruden for the e-mail he sent when he was not in the league.

    Don't forget the "fox nation" promos! Pretty sure they're "free," and yet so important

    I'm more grumpy because they fuck up Big Ten games on the regular and that I actually care about.

    Your local community broadcaster is more capable than FOX 'sports'.

    Chargers smartly fail their 2 point conversion, leaving the Browns ahead so they go super conservative.

    EDIT: Or smartly missed the PAT.

    Did the NFL spike the kicker's water or something? Chargers kicker missed extra point to tie the game. It's his 2nd.

    God, Sunday night is the consistently worst broadcast

    First you’ve got Tweedledee and Tweedledum saying unrelated bullshit over what’s happening on the field, then you’ve got that godawful shitkicker theme song, and finally they go to commercial more often than any of the daytime broadcasts.

    Just take sports away from NBC as a whole. They’re stuck in the past and they suck.

    Yeah but that one is from The Last Boyscout and it slaps.

    The Sunday night song is way too twangy and feels like it has neither verses nor a chorus. It’s a song that’s 100% bridge.

    That bit is a parody of what was new(ish) at the time. Monday Night Football began using Hank Williams Jr for their opening theme and it was considered goofy. So they wrote a song in the same vein and got Bill Medley to sing it for the movie. Now, every X Night Football has to have some kind of intro song because reasons. They all pretty much suck and they're all interchangeable.

    Here's the original:
    Here's the famous one:
    Here's what they decided to 'spruce it up' with for year 20:
    And here, more directly, was what Last Boy Scout was spoofing:
    So we shouldn't pretend that these opening themes have suddenly become crap for no reason.

    Footbaw clips, reaction shots, musician cameos, and hero poses. Are you ready for some footbaw?

    Guys. I think the Browns might not be very good this year.

    But they also might not be very bad.


    Are they turning into the Cowboys?
