Kickoff
Aug 27, 2008 Babyeating-Sisterfuckers, Kickoff
Per usual, consider this an Almost-All-Eric edition.
Filed under Great News. I’m guilty of being part of the pessimistic crowd when it comes to the subject of Dunta’s return this year. Thankfully, this is one of those areas where I really hope I am wrong. According to this article, it appears that maybe—just maybe—I might be. “Robinson is running hard in practice and cutting sharply.” Next up, at some point in the coming weeks, is getting out there and trying to cover WRs. Once I see him do that, I’ll buy that he’s coming back in 2008. And then I’ll probably shed a couple tears of joy.
Gimme. Interesting blurb from ESPN’s Kuharsky, highlighting the AFC South’s contributions to the AFC’s overall edge in turnovers against the NFC. Two things jump out at me. First, we suck(ed) in this department. Second, between Garrard’s regression to the mean and Gregg Williams’ defenses’ inability to create turnovers (seriously, look it up), Jacksonville has to slide a bit this year. (Note: This stuff about J’ville? How it sounds like it could be part of a bigger post? That’s called “foreshadowing.”)
Not much to add. Word from the mothership about the first cuts. Of note, Rick Smith doesn’t believe in “just bringing bodies in” to training camp. Which suggests that Mike Bell, in theory, had a chance to make the team, had he not been a fat shit.
Drugs are bad, mmmkay? There’s goofy. There’s nuts. And there’s the off-the-deep-end kind of psychosis that leads one to believe that the Titans will be 9-1 through their first ten games. And they say meth isn’t a problem in Tennessee?
Finally. Hit it.

The no-look crotch grab rulez.

They seem to be offended I don’t think they’ll go 9-1.

Chow throwing VY and the Titans under the bus was great!

9-1 is extremely unlikely, no doubt, but here’s the schedule, and it’s not complete insanity.
http://www.nfl.com/teams/schedule?team=TEN&season=2008&seasonType=REG
Tough games will be MIN, IND, JAC(2). Less tough will be CIN, GRB, HOU. We should beat KC, BAL, and CHI.
I don’t think that we will be 9-1 come week 11, but if (a big “if” I realize), our Offense comes out clicking and plays Jeff Fisher style ball control football, we certainly have a shot.
Our schedule is one of the easiest we’ve had in several years.

Texans will have a better record after ten games than the Titans will.
That is all.

Eric-
Are you the guy that calls in on 104.5 all the time? If so, come over to the site and shoot me an email. I would like to ask you a few questions.

@Tman: @Matt: *sniff sniff* Is that a bet I smell? I think it is!

No Jimmy, I only laugh at the “spin” Frank Wycheck gives on the BE-SF. He was a sputtering fool this AM when Chow said that the moment VY was picked, he knew his day’s in Nashville we’re over. I don’t call the show but, I’ve been put on hold waiting to say something!?

I love when you use my lines.

Reading that again, it doesn’t make sense. I’ve tried to call but, have been put on hold…..{better]
Which site and what caller were you refering to?

The site that I run where we do meth (linked above).
The guy I am referring to calls every week when McClain is on the air.

Sorry Jimmy, that’s not me. But, I’ll gladly join into your fun at your site!
From Kuharsky’s blog about the Chow interview:

@Jimmy: There’s a comment in your blog where you seemed offended that BFD took a shot at Richard Justice. NFL loyalties aside, for the love of humanity, tell me that was a joke.

@Vega: I think the issue is that the only person who has a larger mancrush on VY than RJ is August.

And, for the record, August West is a great gay porn star name.

I am not offended. I have no reason to read his stuff so I don’t care about him at all. I have a reader who loves Richard Justice.

@Jimmy: Do you put that as a disclaimer for anything he writes on your blog? Does his name pop up with an asterisk that reads *Disclaimer: Reader likes Richard Justice? I would think this would save yourself some trouble.

Like if there were a commenter here who thought David Carr just needed a couple more weapons and he could have succeeded, I’m sure Matt and BFD would want to publicly distance themselves.

“Kevin Bentley. Out to here.”
“Really?”
“Really.”
