I'm not surprised. There seems to be a segment of every fan base that feels that way about announcers. It's amusing.

Good point. I merged the threads. Hunter, your post is now up-thread.

You know what Winston and Mariota have in common? Their first TD pass in the NFL was to a Titan player. :D

Glad to see Mariota come out and start his career with a decisive win.
I liked when Everson called him "Jameson" in the preseason game against the bucs. Leber didn't even seem to notice, but it was a hilarious moment.

Don't hate on my Buckeyes. Some of the best Vikings went to Ohio State.

Winston's first career pass was a TD... To the wrong team. I know everyone thinks the world of Winston, but in my limited views, the guy is Ryan Leaf.

Ah. Someone beat me to it.

Dude is pretty good.
I picked him up in fantasy in one of the late rounds. But I left him on the bench today. :steamed:

Then I post one about Palmer instead of one here.

I thought this thread was going to be about players committing felonies and Patriots cheating scandals, my apologies.

what a scintillating little field goal festival going on in Texas, huh?

:wink:

Maybe ESPN won't run a package about Odell Beckham Jr. three times an hour now?

I was thinking about Carson Palmer today, too. After he got hurt in the playoffs, he never quite seemed the same. Then he had that hold out and went to Oakland and his career seemed all but over. It looks like he's back to elite level now, and you're right, Hunter - the Cardinals could be a very scary team.

Also, this SNF game isn't terrible, but it just doesn't seem to be holding my attention.

Also, did anybody see Tyler Eifert's stats today? That could really open things up for AJ Green and make Andy Dalton look a lot better if they make the playoffs.

I thought the Cowboys were cream of the league and that the Giants were going to be an underachieving bum team.

I even had Dallas beating Giants as a "lock of the week" over at another board.
