Kickoff
Jul 16, 2008 Babyeating-Sisterfuckers, Nigerian Mafia, Nnamdi Asomugha, The X Factor, Vince Young can't read this post
Somebody needs a hug: As much fun as it is to make fun of Vince Young, noted cheap-shot artist and Teh Schaub killer Albert Haynesworth truly deserves our scorn. With a h/t to Eric in the last thread, it appears that Haynesworth needs his favorite dolly and a nap after he and the BE-SFs couldn’t agree to terms on a long-term contract. Instead, he’ll be slapped with the franchise tag. If you go to the link, you can see him tearing up at the thought. He’ll be OK, though: he’s gonna go all Cruella Di Vil on a bag full of puppies to make him feel better.
More man-crush coverage: Stealing this link from Jordan, the league’s version of an aneroxic Methuselah, Al Davis, couldn’t reach terms on a long-term contract with Nnamdi Asomugha. A year is a long way from now, about a year, in fact, but since we drafted Antwaun Molden and signed Frenchy Reeves, I don’t think we’ll focus on CB next year. Oh well, but here’s hoping our CBs make the decision easy. As with Haynesworth, Asomugha gets the franchise tag.
9-7?: Tim at BRB takes his first shot at the season and comes up with a 9-7 season. Personally, I like BigBlueShoe’s prediction of a 10-11 season. Heh.
Vince Young != MVP, Cy Young, and Lady Byng all wrapped up into one neat little package: The 9-7 discussion led Chris to do a little look-back at a BE-SF prediction. No pollyannas were found.
The X Factor Cometh: Temporarily breaking the Comicle moratorium, Xavier Adibi signed a four-year deal. Finally, is it me or are some of the commenters at the chron, well, special? This person, with his in-depth analysis, is likely to be hired by the chron soon: “CaptainHook wrote: He’s going to suck!!!!” Hard hitting news you can trust.
Anyway, great news for the team getting him inked.

I strenuously object – there is no discussion of Brett Favre in today’s kickoff. I think this violates an NFL blogging rule.

Wow, I never read the comments on a Chron article, but those were AWESOME!! That must be what it’s like to watch Vince Young argue with Helen Keller. I was in static.

I think the moderator of Vega’s hypothetical argument would certainly have to be Ms. Anna-Megan.

@grungedave: Heck, you dont even need a moderator in that hypothetical argument. Just a couple bottles of Tequila and five naked, sweaty men. Oh wait, that would turn it into a VY party/gay bash.

@grungedave: Does this mean that BFD is going to start pooping cereal? Or was that poop in someone’s cereal?

Atexansblog- Where I can get all my Tennessee Titans News!
I’m not sure what’s worse, the fact that I come here and take abuse from a group who roots for one of the most pathetic teams in football, or the fact that the same group likes to talk about how gay Vince is more than their own team.
Tough call.

@Tman: Well Tman, Vince is pretty gay. So there ya go. No media coverage is definitely better than a ton of media coverage regarding the fudge-packing adventures of Wonderlic 6.

@Tman: I would go with the fact that you come here to take abuse from Texans fans. Talking about how gay VY is is just a fringe benefit.

@Tman: It’s the offseason and we’ve covered the shit out of our team for months now. At this point, ripping on the Sisterfuckers and, to a lesser extent, Peyton Manning’s homosexuality is all we’ve got left. At least until we sweep the Titans. Then we’ll have that to talk about.

@Matt: We can also talk shit about the University of Tennessee sucking and trying to steal the real UT’s name

@Lee – UofTOrange: Agreed. I went out to Bristol for the night race in 2003 and was wearing a Michigan hat. A dude said “We root for UT ’round here.” I said “Isn’t this place a long way from Austin?” He didn’t get it.

@Matt: Little known fact. Texas owns the copyright or trademark, (Dave is going to be pissed that I can’t remember which it is) to “UT”, we allow Tennessee to use it in certain parts of the country, and not in others.

@Matt: Oh, and F the SEC

July 18th, 2008 at 3:19 pm
@Lee – UofTOrange: I only tolerate SEC braggarts because they continue to gutfuck Ohio State. I would honestly root for a team composed entirely of rapists and murders if they played Ohio State. Sadly, Miami and Ohio State rarely meet.

@Matt: I’ve been to a Michigan/OSU (fuck them and their t) and there is no way on earth I would cheer for that team. Their fans are the biggest collection of dumbasses that don’t live in Philly
