croyle to bowe!

The Chiefs players are pissed that they lost a game they could have one, but that was about as good as loss as you could have. Plus, Dwayne Bowe's so good, he can get both feet in bounds and catch the ball in his knees.

That's the play of the year for the Chiefs.

Here's Peyton's and Brodie's stats on the year:

It was Peyton's second-worst performance of the year and Croyle's best.

Maybe in the future, the Chiefs O-coordinator will actually call some plays down the field, instead of the same WR screen or draw play on 3rd and long. Just a thought.

tale of the tape: peyton vs brodie

Peyton vs Brodie
Height: 6-5 / 6-2
Weight: 230 / 206
Seasons: 10 / 2
Games: 153 / 5
Yards: 39,972 / 323
TD: 291 / 1
Rating: 94.2 / 56.3

But all is not lost.

Possible nicknames for Croyle that other people came up with:

Bro-Bro

Bro-Cro

Chef Broyardee

Backfoot Brodie

A Croyale with Cheese

Broyale with Cheese

Kansas City Croyals

Peanut Butter Brodie Time

what is this, some cruel joke?

This is the Chiefs game I get?


They couldn't possibly have aired the Chiefs vs the Raiders, or even the Bengals. And they certainly didn't give me the Chiefs vs the Chargers. But sure, give me the fucking Colts.

Are you kidding me? The week after Peyton throws 6 picks and comes home after losing 2 in a row. The first start for Brodie Croyle. This is the game I get. Thanks.

romance copy!

memo to the copywriter at kraft/kroger...when you write romance copy for a recipe, you don't actually write the words "romance copy"

Construda Playoffs Preview

With 4 weeks to go, there's 6 teams fighting for 4 spots. Who's in? Who's out? And who's hoping for a miracle?

East Division
Rishi and I are tied at 5-5 right now. Rishi already beat me, so if he wins again in week 13, he would own the tiebreaker and I would have to finish with a better record than him. But If I beat him, the tiebreaker would be total points scored, and I would own that. Based on my easy schedule down the stretch, in order for Rishi to make the playoffs he would have to upset me and win 2 of his other 3 games. But I'm not going to lose another game this regular season, I'll finish 9-5 winning the east, and Rishi will probably finish 7-7.

West Division
Mark has the West sewn up, and barring something strange, the #1 seed. Anish is fighting for a wild card with....

Central Division
Burnsy and Kirat are currently tied, but Burnsy already beat Kirat this year in a 98-97 slugfest with huge implications. Looking at the schedules, it's possible that Burnsy, Kirat and Anish could be 10-3 going in to the last game. Using that assumption, here's the scenario:

Mark has the #1 seed locked up and will play the wild-card in the first round.
Dave has the #3 seed locked up and will play the #2 seed in the first round.
The winner of Kirat-Burnsy will win the Central and be the #2 seed.
The loser of Kirat-Burnsy will be 10-4, but Anish owns the tiebreaker over both of them, so he doesn't even have to beat Mark to get the wild-card.

In other words, Anish gets the wild card if he gets to 10 wins (currently at 7-3). Assuming he does, it will come down to the Kirat vs Burnsy matchup to see who gets to the playoffs.

Projected playoffs:
#1 Mark vs #4 Anish
#3 Dave vs #2 Niraj

For the record, since my resurgence 4 weeks ago, here's how I've fared against the contenders:

2-2 vs Burnsy
3-0-1 vs Mark
4-0 vs Rishi
4-0 vs Anish
4-0 vs Kirat

So yeah, I'd rather not play Burnsy/Brady.

good work from jim caple

Just a fantastic little excerpt on page 2 that most people might not even see is there:

NFL Bonerjam Express

I'm just guessing that 4 rushing attempts for Kevin Jones and 45 passing attempts for Jon Kitna isn't the formula for success.



I'm also guessing that when the Bears signed Benson to a 5-year, 35-million dollar deal, they expected to get a player that could average more rushing yards than Vinny Testaverde. Currently there are 152 players who are averaging more rushing yards per carry than Cedric Benson.


Also, considering Ricky Williams averaged 4 yards a carry, you will not be mistaken for him. You are in fact, 75% of Ricky Williams.

In other news, LSU has scheduled the Miami Dolphins as a non-conference opponent for 2009.

the brodie croyle era is ready to begin

This is the face of the franchise:

On a completely unrelated note, I'm making the lock of the week the Colts covering up to 50 points at home against the Chiefs.

I think this is the right time to go with Croyle, and it worked out well that Huard got banged up, so it wasn't a big controversy.

The Chiefs are 2-3 at home this year. They lost 2 winnable games in a row at home. And now they're facing the Colts who are looking for someone to beat up. I just hope we don't have too many injuries this week.

Furthermore, we should've beaten them in 2002!

THE ohio state is not going to the Nat'l Championship this year, and maybe they shouldn't have gone in 2002. Here's the video evidence, and I swear that he's got control of the ball and a foot/knee down in the endzone.

the JUICE is LOOSE

We knew we could, we just didn't know if we would.

Notice anything unusual? (Besides the fact that Shanahan's picture was taken while he was on the toilet.)

Hoagie Central's Giant Fucking Lock of the Week: Week 10

I like a lot of teams to cover this week: Chiefs, Titans, Bears, Lions, Colts...but which one has the one that I like the most?

Chiefs -3 over Broncos

The Chiefs are 1-0 in the locks and this is one of those where I just know my team. This team will bounce back. The defense will be ready. This team won't lose back to back at home.
