PrintJust a general open thread for Sunday Funday talk. Topics to discuss if you're feeling verklempt:
RIP Joe Pa
An Idiot Abroad started season 2 last night.
Ravens/Patriots in a good game for the Super Bowl (Dannell Ellerbe is on Baltimore)
49ers/Giants on later this evening. (Demarcus Dobbs is on the 49ers and Danny Ware on the Giants)
We've got a bad basketball team, who probably gets demolished by Kentucky Tuesday, but baseball is less than a month away. And the girls hoops team is currently dominating Ole Miss.

After much consideration
I’ve decided that this has not been the best weekend for Georgia. The Commings arrest and our basketball team not showing up – in a winnable SEC game AT HOME, no less. The whole tragedy that has become the Joe Paterno story, and Liverpool playing like crap.
But you’re correct. Not a bad playoff game so far.

I could go for a nice bowl of table toffee.
Seriously, I have no idea what you people are talking about, but I’ll never forgive any of you for getting tankertoad to come out of the closet as a soccer fan; that revelation has completely destroyed my image of the man and caused me to wonder whether a McCarthyite purge of the U.S. military is in order.

that's, uh, mostly true. )
I would love to go to the Man U arena – it’s a hellava complex and always packed. But I won’t exactly lose sleep over anything in the EPL.

Professional soccer players don't make those kinds of accidents.
At that level of competition, you have enough control over your body to avoid kicking your foot back in the face of a man you know is lying behind you on the ground.

I watched the Man U with my lady friend today and she was laughing at the players laying on the ground.
Kyle would have loved it – she said “In real football we get up, rub some dirt on it and keep going” – lol.

Yeah, that's the most maddening thing about soccer.
Easily the worst part of the game. I’m just glad the Americans rarely do it. (And I yell at them just as much when they do as I yell at other teams.)

It got kind of silly at the end of the Man U game to be honest. For both teams.

And y'all have one of the worst
with Nani. I don’t particularly care for your left back either.

To be honest, historically it is the Mediterranean and Latin countries that have been the worst at diving.
And I’m including Portugal as a “Mediterranean country,” which is Nani’s home.

I'm at a loss for words on that loss to Bolton
so much promise with this team, and so much fail.

oh, you mean him too. Just make sure #9 isn’t at the bar with him, and sounds like a plan. And I love it when a plan comes together.
This is now the official anti-Kyle thread.

Anti-Kyle thread?

Captain Kirk thinks you're all . . .

I’m going to get podunkdawg to ban every last one of you!

Goes to see if I have the power to ban Kyle
and he does! This could be a soccer blog soon.

Next time he writes a 9k word post, I plan to change his name to mine.

All right, now that was funny!
Not “hailtogeorgia explaining why no one on the staff could pass a drug test” funny, but funny, nevertheless!

So, say we all ban each other in a fit of anger...
just leave the lunatics to run the asylum?

At least Walsh will get a chance in someone's camp
and if he’s over the yips, he’ll make a roster. Carolina should try to land him. Same with Atlanta.

With John Kasay gone from the Panthers, . . .
. . . they should sign Blair Walsh, just to get back in Bulldog Nation’s good graces.

Ah, the good old invalid fair catch penalty. Been a while for that one.

I got to get a DVR. All the shows I watch come on sunday night, and Luck on HBO is going to be on Sunday night.
I don’t know if Luck will be good, but it looks to be good and it’s Michael Mann, and I like all things Michael Mann.

Just checked netflix - of course it's disk only. I am so ready for all media to go streaming.

If you have OnDemand, it might be available through that...
and new episodes are coming on the Science Channel on Saturdays, with reruns throughout the week. Karl Pilkington is great.

Eli Manning managed to incomplete to two 49ers. wow.

Teh twitterz is blowing up...
… because it looks like Chip Kelly is about to leave Oregon for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Editor, Dawg Sports.
Go Dawgs!
If that comes to pass, . . .
. . . I hope Oregon hires Jon Gruden to replace him, because that would be nicely symmetrical. Plus, it would spare us from having Jon Gruden’s name mentioned for every future head coaching vacancy, college or pro, from now until the end of time.

THIS GUY knows how to coach some FOOTBALL, Kyle.
(As opposed to all the other rugby and cricket coaches a university would be looking to hire for their football team.)

plus, as a Falcons fan
I’m thinking it’ll be a horrible hire by a division rival.

They should hire Mike Bobo.

I immediately stole this and put it on twitter.
I do not apologize for the plagarism.
Editor, Dawg Sports.

by vineyarddawg on Jan 22, 2012 9:33 PM EST up reply actions
I dont understand how to use twitter anyhow.
But – there is some truth to it – Mike Bobo likes to throw the ball. He would have a wide open passing game against weak PAC 12 Ds. It’s a good fit. And it gets him about as far away from Athens as possible.
Editor, "Dawgsports"
"The ball ain't heavy." Herschel Walker
But once he realized heaving 1st and Bombs would work in the PAC 12
He would immediately commit himself to running dives on every down.

Wait - I got a better idea. If A&M fans will actually believe CMR was in College Station -
can we start a rumor Mike Bobo is going to Oregon? That would be so much fun.

We gotta pump up the comment numbers somehow.
Besides, recently we only seem to be good at bringing in Alabama trolls, so be careful what you wish for. :-)

If it wasnt for the fact (a good one) that Kyle wants accurate news posted -
I would front page “Oregon looks to hire Coach Bobo” right now and tweet it and FB it. I want to make it like the craig james thing.
As far as Alabama trolls, I am still baffled by some of that. “I believe you should win the SEC” “No you don’t believe that” “Um, yea, I really do and stuff” “You would feel differently if you won an NC” “No, i wouldnt.” “yes you would” begeezus.
