The Other Team in Red in Black Sunday Caption Contest & Open Thread

Here is a WIDE open thread to talk about anything that crosses your mind. You can start with the Atlanta Falcons, a team in red and black with trouble in the big games and an anemic Offense on the road. Maybe you have a good Sunday recipe; I am cooking some lasagna myself. Or did you order some pizza, or break out the grill? Inspired by your Sunday services? Here you go, rant/vent/discuss/talk away. After the Falcons you have the Pittsburgh Steelers with Hines Ward out running explosions to watch and discuss or maybe you just feel like taking shots at Tim Tebow as a linbacker turned QB for the Denver Broncos and enjoy some sweet Tebow post season tears.
This afternoon at 2:00pm EST the 15th ranked Georgia Bulldogs face the Auburn Tigers in basketball in East Alabama and look to get some payback in the SEC. This game can be viewed live on ESPN 3.
Still not enough for you? Guess what, we still have College Football tonight in the GoDaddy.com Bowl featuring Arkansas State vs Northern Illinois. I don't even know what GoDaddy is except that they have very "enticing" commercials to go to their website.
Feel like doing some reading and not watching or posting? Don't forget Cherokee's Grip Ode to First Downs.
Not entertained enough by this NFL Wildcard and Toilet Bowl Action - I've added a picture for you to go at it in a caption contest. The winner will receive an autographed play book by Coach Bobo. Bring your creative juices to bear with Aaron White's epic TD score.

I always thought
Tebow to be more of a tight end.

That . . .
. . . is truly, deeply, thought-provokingly disturbing.
And I mean that as a compliment.

The beauty of it is that "Beetlejuice" was a Tim Burton movie, . . .
. . . and Christopher Nolan rescued the “Batman” franchise from a string of movies Burton started (which originally starred Michael Keaton).
So it works on many levels.

Speaking of Tim Burton.....
I ran into a guy walking down the street yesterday at lunch time in full Edward Scissorhands costume…very convincing. I did not know what to make of it.

That would be awesome.
See, we really need to get more people on this blog to fall in line behind this Liverpool/Everton thing.
Both clubs are ancient (in soccer terms), both have historic stadia that are directly across a park from each other, and both have followers that are known for their extreme loyalty to one club and animosity for the other.
It’s just like our other little rivalry. :-)

Who's a Gunner?
And I guess we’re leaving RedCrake at home, since there’s no White Hart Lane on your list.
http://sportsandgrits.com/
Arsenal's logo includes a cannon...
… so they’re colloquially called the “Gunners.”
The local accent with which people say that name, however, also causes them to be referred to as the “Gooners.”

Oops, nevermind.

What, no time for a visit to Fratton Park?
(I know, I know. Where?)
I will say that I’d put Portsmouth-Southampton up against any of those other great derbies. They just don’t play that often — so there’s a Georgia parallel there, too.
Frackin' Park?
Hey, I mean, that’s great and all, but if we’re visiting stadia that house crappy teams on the British coastline, I’m going to insist upon Caledonian Stadium. (More for the town than the match, but that’s why all non-locals go to Scottish soccer matches.)

As long as we're hosting an all-sports thread, anyway, . . .

For the caption contest:
Hey! Don’t you walk away from me, Coach Bobo said to look everywhere for the halftime adjustments.
Or:
Hey Coach Meyer, yeah it’s Orson Charles, remember that time when I broke the national championship trophy when you were at Florida and you told me it was a one in a million shot that I could so badly damage a piece of football iconography with my butt? Yeah, better make it two in a million.
Or:
Coach Richt: As I was saying Mike, we need to re-think our whole offensive philosophy not just little details. I think we’re missing the forest through the trees.

Georgia 30, AU 17 at the half. In the meantime, Atlanta is trying to understand why their playbook got switched out with a green notebook.

oldcat70, We appreciate you dropping by but we are skiddish of use of personal name of other non public people.
Sorry, but this isn’t a site to search for folks. I just did some internet searches and was able to get a little bit of data without much effort. I am hiding you comment because while an individual may choose to post their real names, we don’t like other people that are not public figures to be posted for privacy and security reasons. I suggest you dig through some white pages and/or family and friends.

Any Georgia fans actually pulling for Tebow, or would be if he wasn't facing a favorite pro Dawg?

The whole Tebow thing is so over blown. I hope he loses just so they can quit talking about it.
by mdhenshaw on Jan 8, 2012 4:37 PM EST via Android app up reply actions
Agreed.
For me, it’s less about Tim Tebow than it is about the media adulation of Tim Tebow. As Mr. Sanchez noted below, a Georgia fan conscientiously could root for the Broncos because of Champ Bailey and Knowshon Rockwell Moreno, but any Georgia fan who roots for Tebow as Tebow against Hines Ward ought to have his University of Georgia degree revoked.
The frustrating thing is the way the media hype two rival quarterbacks for opposite reasons. Tim Tebow is great, even though he plays 55 crappy minutes of football while his defense keeps him in it for his five minutes of heroics to matter at the end, because he wins, but Cameron Newton is also great, even though his team loses, because he plays well. Which is it? Pick one, so I only have to hear about one rival quarterback at a time.
Manager, Dawg Sports, SB Nation's Georgia Bulldogs weblog.
Go 'Dawgs!
I should add I’m a Panthers fan so pulling for Newton is a work in progress. However he’s much better than u thought he would be.
I don’t think Tebow is a horrible QB. The only reason he’s a story is his religious background. John Fox is an outstanding coach. That’s been lost in all the hype.

You forget, they also have Champ Bailey

They’ve also had Dawgs for a long time from Clarence Kay, to Champ, etc.

And I've always kind of liked the Broncos, in spite of their awful choice in color scheme
it started with Clarence Kay, but Terrell Davis and Olandis Gary, now Champ. Liking NFL teams with Georgia players on them makes me like most every NFL team.
