 | Denver (1-0) at Atlanta 1-0) discussion / predictions - MinnesotaTiger on 9/11/12 at 1:24 pm
Obviously a huge game for the Saints considering how solid the ATL looked in a tough road venue this past Sundy.
Monday Night Football - ESPN
Line - Atlanta by 3
I didn't see much of Atlanta's game but I did see the Broncos/Steelers game. I really want to pick Denver in this spot, but I fe...

| Why do Jordan, Ellis, Smith seem to consistently underperform? - MinnesotaTiger on 9/9/12 at 9:29 pm
Given what we have invested in these three guys it seems like we don't get much bang for our buck with them.
I'm mostly ignorant about line play - does anybody know what the problem is? It seems like all have the size and strength, but do they just lack the motor or the ability to be above avera...

| Tendency of officials to spot ball at 1-inch line instead of give TD - MinnesotaTiger on 9/8/12 at 10:17 pm
Has anybody else ever noticed it? I wonder if there's a psychological term for this tendency?
In case you don't know what I'm talking about, it seems to me that virtually every time there is a "50/50" call on a potential touchdown where the ballcarrier is kind of stumbling towards the goalline, ...

Mates, it's hard to compete with the big boys when your superior in-state rival with their superior coach, superior tradition, and superior facilities is swiping up all the talent in a 200 mile radius.
Luckily my Alma Mater in Baton Rouge will remain a stubborn check on Saban's SEC West dominance...

| How would "THARR SHE BLOWS!!!" rate as a signature home run call - MinnesotaTiger on 9/7/12 at 9:50 pm
It's so important for MLB radio guys to have a signature home run call.
Bob Uecker has "Get up! Get up! Get outta here!"
John Sterling has "It is high, It is far, it is GONE!"
Do you think that "THARRRR SHE BLOOOWWWWWWSSSSS!" would rate on this same level? :confused:

Mates, it sucks that I have no date tonight and really no chance of getting some pussy. But I tell you what - it's not all bad to sit home and watch/listen to Vin Scully with a rare road call of the Dodgers @ Giants in a key NL West game.
Dude is a fricking legend.

Don't see this too often anymore. I would suspect that if our Boys handle the Indigenous Tribesmen as handily as we all expect them to on Sunday that we'll creep up to a 1.5 or 2.5 point favorite by early next week.
As previously stated, I'm worried about this game, but I still think we have a s...

| Coaches who emphatically signal "GOING FOR 1 POINT" after a TD - MinnesotaTiger on 9/5/12 at 9:22 pm
Weird question, but one of my biggest pet peeves is when a head coach emphatically holds up his index finger after a touchdown, and screams "KICK! KICK!" to tell his team "we're kicking the extra point".
I may be wrong, but to me it seems like the shittier coaches are the ones who do this on a re...

Forgive me for looking ahead for a moment - but it seems like Week 2 in Carolina is kind of the catalyst for how our first 4 games go. As we've all heard, many NFL teams including our beloved Saints break down the season into four 4-game "quarters".
If we beat Carolina we will be at worst 3-1 ...
