Posted a couple things downthread, not happening. Any idea why?

Damn you, Tbogg! I actually turned the TV machine, and there was Juicebox Jesus on my screen, and I think he just threw one into the dirt.

OK, I had the sound off, so they might just have been showing Tebow’s jersey while there was actual action on the field. The tv machine is off again.

Being another west coastie (no, not a coaster, that’s on the coffee table), I feel somewhat cheated out out of this ecumenical event on the teevee machine.

I was just thinking “gawd bless John Elway” but, then again, there seems to be an empty hole on the telly screen that only JuiceBox Jesus can fill.

Oh, also, too – the Jettisoning is bloody brill!

It’s the streak of cruel inhumanity that boils under the surface in us all. It’s only through the victory of our better angels that we can distract ourselves with an alternate target for ridicule rise above it.

I saw a comment in Dimes Worth of Difference. And I don’t see anything that is trapped inthe spam filter.

40-7 Jets.

Sanchez putting up Tebow-type numbers, well, if you condense an entire Tebow season into 1 game….

Is JuiceBox a rookie again this year?

It will be fun to watch Tebow fail at football this year, but nobody is going to come up with a better quote than Viking’s punter Chris Kluwe’s letter to Emmett C. Burns Jr.

I can assure you that gay people getting married will have zero effect on your life. They won’t come into your house and steal your children. They won’t magically turn you into a lustful cockmonster. They won’t even overthrow the government in an orgy of hedonistic debauchery…

Tebow probably has a sad that he’ll never be able to use the phrase ‘lustful cockmonster’ in public now. He’ll have to keep it in his prayers.

Could care less about t-bow, Go 9rs

The Lions’ Matthew Stafford probably played the worst 30 minutes of football in his entire career, throwing three interceptions (one returned for a TD). People around here are going gaga over the Lions, who are due to regress to the mean after improving from 2-14 to 10-6 in two seasons.

I don’t know. With ‘lustful cockmonster’ thoughts clouding his vision JuiceBox may try something crazy against SanFran in Week 4.

Or he’ll go out into the dens of iniquity and try to save people’s souls. And possibly get beaten up by them as don’t feel the need of his ministering.

Forsooth, is it not written that those of us who have strayed from The City for the fleshpot pleasures of La-La Land shall be denied the vision of Tebow on our bigscreens, even if we have satellite dishes on our garage roofs pointing to heaven? And is it not further written that the Jets could probably have done better getting a strong inside linebacker instead? Yea, though I have strayed from the East, I will follow the fortunes of the Jets (but more importantly, the Giants, the Jets just having been an expansion team although, hey, who can forget Joe Willie’s great run in the late ’60′s?) and thoughts of the Superbowl will linger forever and ever. Amen.

amen, amen, I say to you, can’t get into it yet; it is still baseball season and what the fuck happened to the yankees

Thank you,gbear, for that link. Made my day. Now, on to home repair chores. Have a good day Boggers, see you all later on.

Alas, with holes in his hands, The Mighty Tebow forsook him some baseball. Otherwise, he would go both ways in NYC (football and baseball that is).

In complete agreement in regards to the Bow of Te. As to your 2nd point — Go Pack!

I flashed on the Rev. Peter Shayne in Crimes of passion, drooling in the dens of inequity. Not that Tebow isn’t someones idea of a Christian, ’cause putting Psalms on your eye liner counts for something, not to mention righting backwards, right?

However, the Tebow threads are a nice break from the “How has Obama disappointed me today” trollery.

If you have DirecTV, NFL Sunday Ticket is free this first weekend. All the games are available up in the 700s.

TBogg, any friendly wagers on your Chargers against my Raiders tomorrow?

What I want to know is, can’t we please please please see the women’s final at the US Open instead of a meaningless, uncompetitive, 48-28 early season football game?

Upset of the week so far: Skins over Aints. I hate the Shanahan, but RG3 looks like a keeper.

Upset in the making: Browns over Iggles, 16-10 with 3 minutes to go, despite DeSean Jackson’s blatant offensive PI on Joe Haden just now. Ahahaha. Keep your fingers crossed.

Shit. Stupid Eagles.

lol!

Tebow’s gonna see the lowlights highlights of that game and wonder “if those two lustful cockmonsters can toss 4 INTs each why the gosh golly aren’t I a starting QB?”

I’m sure he’ll protest by prancing around, shirtless, for the paparazzi…

“Lustful cockmonster”. Great phrase. I caught that one yesterday, I think Kluwe won the weekend with it.

Yeah, Stafford had a bad game, but still managed to pull out a win at the end. I’ll take it.

Fuck the fucking Yankees. That is what happened to them. As it should be.

Speaking of fucked-up organizations, let us consider the NFL. The League has locked out its referees in order to make the officials’ Union eat shit at the bargaining table. Of course, the money needed in order to maintain current standards of compensation for the refs can be found under the owners’ sofa cushions.

And, as could have been anticipated by sentient beings, the officiating has been horrible all year, today included. This anti-union climate will ease some day, won’t it? It makes absolutely zero sense economically.

Actually I’m surprised the officiating has been as good as it has been all year these past few weeks, what with one ref having only worked 7-on-7 talent games.

NFL officiating has been pretty shitty for years. Hopefully, some of them will be put out to pasture or the new CBA helps them out with better vision benefits….

The few games I’ve seen, and things I’ve heard from others, causes me do disagree with you; the officiating has been worse this year. A major concern is misunderstanding of the sometimes labyrithian NFL rulebook. I saw a clear example today with the game on the line between Seattle and Arizona.

In fact, I disagree with you about the quality of past years’ officiating as well. They almost always get the calls right in an extremely chaotic, fast-paced sport. There are many times I’m sure they’ve blown the call but the replay shows them to have been correct.

The few games I’ve seen, and things I’ve heard from others, causes me do disagree with you; the officiating has been worse this year*.

I never said the officiating over the past few weeks (since replacement refs have been giving it a go) was better than before. I said I’m surprised it’s been as good as it has been.

* Are you considering the last Super Bowl part of this year?

In fact, I disagree with you about the quality of past years’ officiating as well

Really? Why has instant replay become such a large part of the game? Why are coaches allowed to challenge calls?

Exactly. And I notice that the scab refs haven’t got any better even though FOX and ESPN announcers have obviously been told to shut up about them screwing up the calls.

Thanks, Tom, it’s the damnedest thing I ever saw. The comment syatem simply shut down without explanation whenever I hit the submit button and for a moment there I was wondering if it was something I did. Or you did.

Seems to be okay now, as you say, so I’m once again free to be all that I can be. [menacing laughter] Yes, all that I can be [lightning bathes the scene, thunder is heard] Oh yes, absolutely all that I can be.

Yep, which leads down the slippery-player-safety-slope.

If Mr. Commissioner and The Owners are as dedicated to player safety as they claim then they need to make sure qualified officials are on the field.

Not all the officials from last season should be considered “qualified”.

When the Jets acquired Tim Tebow, I anticipated that it would light a fire under Mark Sanchez’s ass. With Sanchez’s performance against the Bills today, it was as if he was saying “Tebow? We don’t need no stinkin’ Tebow!” I felt a little sorry for Timmy, seeing him shuffled around playing different positions on offense and defense. While I’m sure there have been some before, I don’t recall a player ever being utilized like Tebow was today.

I’ve experienced a bit of lag time (with comments not being posted) when a blog first goes live (or if the blog has been posted and is being edited) in the past.

Not saying that’s what happened to you here. I’d suppose it’s more likely that Obummer bombed the fuck out of your comments from above just cuz he can!

JuiceBox is a baller. He’s just not an NFL QB….

Oh, and back in Denver, the Steelers are currently ahead 19-14, though there’s over 13 minutes left to go in the 4th.

And how about that! Tebow Manning brings The Donks back with a TD pass and 2 pt conversion!

22-19 Den, 9 minutes to go…

While I’m sure there have been some before, I don’t recall a player ever being utilized like Tebow was today.

This fascinates me.

Tebow’s an athlete, not an NFL quarterback, and the fact that his agent/posse convinced the Broncos to make him a first round draft pick (as a QB) was pretty amazing.

Looking at how JuiceBox was used today echoes how several of my Oregon Duck big and long and fast players were used in every situation possible during yesterday’s game. Put your best athletes on the field. In Tebow’s case, just don’t put him at QB because he is not an NFL QB…

A running back? Wide receiver? (Maybe not that last, that would require him to have working hands.)

Broncs player Tbowed tonight during their outsourcing of Pittsburgh. The baby Jeebus was unavailable for comment. Also.

Spoke too soon, did’n ya?

Tebow? Baseball? Would they bring him in when they need someone to throw a wild pitch?

They convinced the Broncos’ worshipful owner; Elway wanted no part of him.

Morning TBogg,
Thought you’d be interested in this tidbit:

Number 1. Creed has sold more records in the US than Jimi Hendrix

that is all.

Signs of Spring :Ditch the duvet, that damn cropduster starts droning overhead and TBogg starts kvetching about US football.
Meantime, in important news, Aus beats SA at rugby. Oh, the humiliation.Sob.

Very late– Harvey Araton: Sanchez Shows There Is No Quarterback Debate. Sharpest quote: “….maybe now we can at least believe Ryan, who has insisted since the beginning of Tebow that Sanchez would be his starter and that Tebow was here as a multipurpose player, a fancy toy with a huge and fanatical following.”

If you are not watching this men’s final, you are missing out :) Absolutely spectacular by both players.

Tbogg, if you thought you were helping John by putting this up, you are a good friend.

What? No pumps for 50 Cent?

Fitty bout the only thug can catch a bullet with his tongue (plus 8 more caps) and later walk away with a cool $100,000,000 after Coke pays $4 Billion for the vitamin water he repped…
