Is the swinger site profile widely reported? It talks about how Rex likes to watch his wife take it in all 3 holes and her hairy "blounde" pussy.

The San Francisco 49ers have finally gotten their guy.

The 49ers have scheduled a 6:30 p.m. ET Friday news conference to announce they’ve hired Stanford’s Jim Harbaugh as their next head coach.

Its a risky gamble that can pay off big, or slip the 49ers further into irrelevance.

Still can't blame Harbaugh. Could you turn down $25 million and not have to move out of your house?

I wonder who the Browns will hire for their next head coach? And how many have they gone throuugh since they've been back?

They've offered the job to Sarah Palin with the condition that she stay for the whole season.

Dolphins offered more but he'd be in the same division as Belichick and Brady, and Rex Ryan.

49ers are in an easy division and they have 22 draft picks in the next few years. Plus they were close to where all of his coaching jobs have been. San Diego St, Oakland, Stanford, San Fransisco.

I think he will do pretty well, maybe even back into the playoffs next year. 49ers desperately need a QB though.

Seahawks up by 4 at halftime.

Go Seahawks! The Line was ridiculous on this game, but it is only half time. Still plenty of time for the Saints to exploit Seattle's defense that I could find a soft spot in the zone in.

Good job Saints, you didn't just fail to defend your Super Bowl championship, you're the first team to lose in the playoffs to the first losing-record playoff-making team in NFL history.

Jim Caldwell is a moron robot and needs to be fired. He got outcoached in the super bowl last year and has lost at least 2 games this year with his shitty time management and coaching. Fuck.

Peyton Manning being 9-10 in the playoffs is goddamned ridiculous and it is because of the coach and GM. Give him a fucking defense and special teams that isn't somewhere between mediocre and horrible.

Rex Ryan is the LAST person on the planet that needs to be talking smack to Tom Brady.

Ryan vs. Brady

Ryan is just too vulnerable to a comeback. I mean if Brady REALLY wanted to go after Ryan all he'd have to say is "Rex, how's the wife..." and go on from there. whistle

What is it about the whole Jets organization that just screams out "no class"? They seem to be an unruly frat house running amok.

They have none, Mark.

And beating a nearly crippled Colts team by one point (and if not for that mind numbingly stupid running into the kicker, the Colts would have won the game) means nothing.

If the Pats don't win by at least three touchdowns this Sunday, I'll be SHOCKED. Brady and Belichick are going to run this one up. You can take that to the bank.

If you want to show your team spirit at this school, it had better be the right team.

A Washington state schoolboy was sent home Friday after wearing a Pittsburgh Steelers jersey on a specially designated day of support for the local Seattle Seahawks, according to a report.

Grendon Bailie, a 13-year-old at Tacoma's Truman Middle School, was sent home Friday for what school administrators deemed inappropriate clothing, Seattle's komonews.com reported.

The school has a strict dress code and said it had lifted it that day only for Seahawks apparel or colors. The school had also specifically warned students not to wear anything besides their uniforms or Seahawks garb, and Bailie even asked if it was acceptable to wear Steelers gear but was told no, the report said.

After the Bears destroy the Seahawks tomorrow, the school can go back to their starched brown shirt uniforms and goose stepping through the halls on Monday. Middle school is exactly the age/time that kids to start rebelling, come on give me a break! rolleyes
PS - I wouldn't be surprised if it was a stunt for the kid's family to get some Steelers tickets/gear. Smart move,kid! wink

There are three certainties in life:
Death
Taxes
and Roethlisberger beating the Ravens.

Steelers over the Jets; Packers over the Bears.

Back in August Dr. Z at Sports Illustrated caught a lot of grief for picking a Packer/Steeler Super Bowl.

It's about time for Ray Lewis to call it a career. I love the guy but he's lost more than a step or two. 15 years is a long time to play NFL football. As far as I can tell he's beaten the odds as far as serious injury or neurological damage so why not walk away before he really starts to embarrass himself or gets hurt.

As far as coaching skills running in the family everyone that was ga-ga over Jim Harbaugh should probably look at the meltdown that John Harbaugh presided over. Baltimore had Pittsburgh on the ropes and could not put them away. The defense couldn't get off the field and the offense couldn't stay on the field. Tomlin outcoached Harbaugh.

Almost everything Pittsburgh did in the second half worked and looked easy while Baltimore had to work to get a 3 yard run. Say what you like about Roethlisburger but on the field he's got heart. Fighting for a first down against linebackers and defensive tackles with every intention of trying to cripple you says something.

Speaking of running the NFL needs to allow running to become a bigger part of the game again. This could be made easier by letting defensive backs and safeties be more physical with wide receivers and tight ends. As it is now I have seen too many instances where the offensive player gives the defensive player shots down the field, including shots to the facemask with no call. Let a few of those wide receivers get jacked up hard a few times and you'll start seeing more running plays. Or at least you might see Hines Ward stop running his mouth. The game is tilted too much to the offense.

I didn't really care who won this game. I just wanted to see good smashmouth football, which I did to a point. The mental meltdown in the second half sorta spoiled things but otherwise this game was a throwback to the days of old when men were men and Greene and Lambert roamed the field...

Very nice post, Lilo. I've been watching the Steeler/Raven rivalry grow over the past several years, and it has become the fiercest in the sport. They have been the best, most physical defenses this decade, and their regular season matchups and postseason games are almost always classics.

I agree that Tomlin outcoached Harbaugh, but even with a fourteen point lead, I didn't think that the Ravens had the game under control as the lead resulted from weird circumstances. Baltimore didn't really move the ball easily in the first half and managed only 28 yards in the second half. For them to win the game they would have needed another crazy play or two.

And, yes, Roethlisberger is an amazing competitor, who'll do whatever it takes to win. His offensive line has provided substandard protection for the past three seasons, but he consistently sheds tackles, extends plays, and comes up big in the fourth quarter. He is certainly a big game player.

You raise an interesting point about getting the league to return to a running oriented game. I'm not sure if you're old enough to remember the NFL in the 70s, but the great qbs of the era - Staubach, Bradshaw, Stabler, Tarkenton - all were capable of scrambling and picking up yards on their own or throwing on the run. This was necessary because offensive linemen couldn't extend their arms in peass protection, defensive linemen could head slap the o-line and cornerbacks could hit receivers all the way down the field. At the end of the decade the league sought to assist the passing game by enacting the Mel Blount riule, and liberalizing pass protection. It was no coincidence that the West Coast offense was immediately born as it could not havesucceeded in the prior decade. Star qbs of today, namely Brady and Peyton Manning, would not nearly be as successful under the 70s rules as they are today as they are not very mobile and are vulnerable out of the pocket.

Kly, I am just old enough to remember the Steel Curtain. My younger brother was a Cowboys fan so that made for some interesting game days... lol


"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
