...because it's football (I'd have put "finally" in there, but quite honestly, I'm one year closer to reading more books.
...because the Holiday Inn Express Apopka continues to have schitty 27" t.v's---they ARE in color at least.
...because even Brak can pick this game up with his antenna on NBC (if he points it toward Aiken)
PS. Apologies on thread title....I'm not in mid-season form.

NBC on the TV and the US Open on the laptop.
...and a thunderstorm delays kick-off.
Sorry boss...I'm sleeping in.
Play the first game in a dome... (unless it's Lambeau's turn).

Maybe they will cancel the game and play a double header later. I'd buy a ticket for that.
Instead, NFL network has a program about someone named Emmett Smith.

If you would've only played more in Week 3......
Nothing like holding up a Lombardi at home on opening night.
Sorry Viking fans.

Professional stiff arm.
That's the only time "Viking fans" and Super Bowl trophy have ever been used in the same sentence.
Um.....take the points.

Do you think "Eagles and Falcons Dog Fight for Early NFL Supremacy" would have been any better?
I discarded that one for "wordiness"

Ha ha dude. It was good enough for me and mine in the 70's, good enough for us now. Church, the last half of Homer Formby, and the NFL on CBS.
Wow, Marquand Manuel is an nfl coordinator? That was one bad safety.
Looks like week 5 of the preseason.
This game reminded me how bad the NFL is getting in general....
Philly fans booing their team at the half. They are legendary.
This game is terrible.
The last 5 minutes of Q2 took 35 minutes to complete.
Welcome to the new NFL. Whatta bust!
I really wish the players would think again about how they structured practices in the last CBA.
I can't argue they are removing some risk of injury, but the quality of the product during the first few weeks in sub-par. Surely there is a compromise to be made.
Yawner, hope I can stay awake for Fallon and McCartney.
Starters playing fewer series in the preseason is a growing trend in the NFL. It really shows the first two weeks of the regular season
I'm surprised that NBC is willing to broadcast a pre-season game on prime time.
We can put a man on the moon...
And the NFL can't figure out what a catch is?
There’s no way Nick Foles played in the Super Bowl. It was someone wearing his jersey.
Tonight is the real Nick Foles.
What a great receiver Foles is! He can do it all!!
Some trash ass football in this game...
WTF is up with Matt Ryan’s arm? Every ball is a lazy floater. Looks like Manning his last year in Denver.
Thanks collective bargaining agreement.
Nobody plays in Pre-Season. 1st 2 weeks suck.
These refs need to seriously relax with the flags. This is getting ridiculous
Good Lord....Sproles looked like Linda Blair on that facemask. Scary!
Game sucked until the last 4 minutes.
:16 seconds left.
Nice to have my first pick of the season correct.

25 accepted penalties. Man.

Not sure what the solution is. Jerry Jones' idea of cutting the preseason and playing 18 regular season games won't fix the fact that the first 2-3 weeks will suck as the OL gets used to communicating on stunts, etc. Even if they play sucks, if I'm a GM or coach I'd rather sit guys in preseason that lose guys to injuries in meaningless games. At least every team is in the same boat.
suits clamor for fewer preseason games but teams are using them for player evaluation more than preparation for the season so we end up with 6 preseason games - 4 actual and the first 2 of the regular.
SNAFU - per usual with the NFL
I rooted for the Eagles in this one because of 6:22. Excuse me, I meant to say 38 to 7. Also, because I hate Atlanta. Way too many penalties in this game! I did not like the Aaron Rodgers reference from Al Michaels when he spoke of how this season, refs will be blowing plays dead--like when Aaron Rodgers would quickly call a play while the other team had 12 men on the field, instead of letting the play progress. I never like it when Aaron is mentioned when a change in the rules is brought up. The tackle the Eagle's pass rusher made on Ryan when he "put his full weight on" the QB when tackling him was a reference to Barr driving Rodgers into the turf. Also another 'was it a catch?" debate. The League has to get their sh_t together.
If Matty Ice is a $30 million/year QB; what is ARod actually worth?
