That's a disgrace. I hope Tennessee never scores another point this season, and goes undefeated for 13 straight years, and then bankrupts itself, and then Nashville burns to the ground.
Did you mean winless? or do you actually want to see them go undefeated?

I meant winless... the negative aspects of the un prefix went into my mind first, and I added -defeated to it, thinking it sounded right.

Thanks for pointing that out, Drew. Pack up Tennessee and move it San Antonio, or Los Angeles. I can't stand horrible teams.

It reminds me of college blowouts, and that's the main reason I can't follow college football closely (and there's around 200 school programs or so).

Thank goodness Oakland got another win against a better team. Anything that gets people to stop talking about how bad they are.

Agreed.

But this is hilarious:

Brady threw five touchdown passes in the second quarter – an NFL record – and six overall; the Patriots (4-2) achieved franchise records in points and total yards (619); and they had the biggest halftime lead (45-0) in NFL history and the most lopsided victory since the Rams beat the Falcons by the same score in 1976. “We just helped New England move up in the BCS rankings,” Titans linebacker Keith Bulluck cracked via text.

I don't know if you guys have heard about the recent allegations of Raiders' head coach Tom Cable, but he is being accused (and actually admitted to) beating women. This is causing some people to call for his resignation. What do you guys think? Should he get fired?

See, this has two different things attached....we can look at it in this particular setting, only as it relates to Tom Cable...or talk about it more theoretically and break down organizational responsibility in matters like these.

I'll go with the first one just in case there is no interest in discussing the second lol...

Just because of all the other shit that surrounds this (him assualting an assistant coach, him being a first year coach, the raiders being 2-6) I do not see him being the coach there next year. I think they'll just fire him because he seems to be more of a distraction than a football coach right now, and as dysfunctional as the Raiders are...they don't need someone at head coach to be in the news this often for bad shit. They'll probably let him finish out the season....and I don't think this should mean his immediate firing...but he needs to go at season's end.

Pats vs Colts last night...

I personally liked the call to go for the win, not really the way that they tried...I hate it when a team needs 2 yards, and they fucking run a route that could even leave a doubt about the yardage...I don't like it when a call doesn't work, and everyone forgets that hindsight is 20/20...I'm like Bill, 30 yards, 70 yards...To a QB like Peyton Manning or Tom Brady, its all the same...Everyone will be on Bill's ass, but the truth of the matter is that the game shouldn't even have been that close, the Pats lost, the Colts didn't win...

The thing is, they weren't going for the win. They were already up by a touchdown, so if they would have gotten the first down, they could have just knelt the ball down and ended the game. With a close game, you don't go for it when you're winning on your own 27 yard line. That's pure stupidity.

And other than that call, the Pats were owning every aspect of the game! Peyton had thrown 2 INTs in the 2nd half. If the Pats would have punted it making the Colts go 70-80 yards in 1:30 instead of 28 yards, it would be a completely different story
