Kansas City-Denver (Sunday Night Game)

bad call, but Theisman is a moron for not knowing the rule. He infuriates me, ALWAYS.

Also, in the intro I love Theisman calling Kansas City-Denver "the greatest rivalry in the NFL." Are you kidding me? It's up there, but would ANYONE call it the greatest rivalry in the NFL?

He's the king of exaggeration.

"The NFL Competion Committee needs to make this challengeable."

Uh, Joe - do you understand why that type of play can't be challanged - because it was fucking whistled DEAD.

Holmes works for me (although I think he may have been stopped short).

Mr. Drama makes it sound like going for it on 4th and 1 foot from your opponents 40 is the ballsiest move ever.

edit: against the returning worst defense in the league, no less.

No thank you...in my work fantasy league I'm three points up on the guy I'm playing and he has Gonzalez left to play. Hope he gets shut down...

This kid has been underrated all of his life. He wasn't even recruited out of high school. Ask the Texas Longhorn fans what they think of him now.

Nice interception by Bailey. At this moment the trade is looking like the right move for both teams.

Bailey's interception was amazing- I thought that ball was well over him. Looking like a deal that makes everyone happy.

I've never seen an instance of the refs forgetting to mark off a penalty...does the rulebook cover this?

they should really fake the field goal now, I definitely think they could catch the Broncos napping.

I really don't know, but I imagine the refs have a fair amount of leeway in terms of deciding how to make a screw up good.

honestly, how did NO ONE say something before the field goal attempt? Trent Green, the kicker, Vermeil... no one noticed until the kick was attempted?

Or maybe Green did notice and figured the kicker would get two cracks at it this way.

Nice pick by the Chiefs MLB.

Joe Theisman - "Gunther Cunningham has got to just be tickled by what his defense has just done."

You know, I was just telling the wife, "I'm so glad there's an announcer that's not afraid to throw a little football lingo around once in a while."

Just tickled!

you didn't start him against the K.C. defense? I hope you have Tomlinson and Holmes on your roster.

I figure my strategy in the high/low contest is to pick against KC every week - should be fun.

cthomer5000, i think he meant choosing the team playing against them as the high so the only duplicates are the 3 divisional foes. Not to pick KC every week. But I could be wrong.

Yeah, the only bet I could even seriously consider was the over. I had (and still have) no idea who will win this game, but for some reason "defensive battle" didn't exactly come to mind.

that was amazing- wonderful running.

and Si, thanks- that's what I meant. until Kc plays against the same team a second team, Im picking the high as the team that opposes them.

I'm getting tired of the announcers so it's time to mute the tv and listen to Mitch Holtis.
