Yea he's down. 

 

[BobbyLayne]

Nope. I read that book. It's a great book. 

& the movie starring Alan Alda

there was a follow up book, too - Mad Ducks & Bears

Plimpton was a treasure 

 

[rockaction]

George Plimpton was the editor of the Paris Review for a while, and just a really good writer. That we used to take literature seriously accounts for his appearing in movies and on television, but he was not a dumbing down of anything. RIP.

I haven't see the movie yet nor read the second book. Hadn't heard of the second book, even. Paper Lion was recommended to me by a trusted friend as probably the greatest sports book this side of Cobb, which I could not get into, even though it was New Journalism, a style and era I love. 

Plimpton was a treasure, though. 

 

[rockaction]

These guys are going to six-yeard gain their way down the field, aren't they? 

 

[BassNBrew]

Damn...I know this is a bad game, but book reports and American Lit class here?

 

[rockaction]

Jeez, Saints, just fall on it. 

 

[Insein]

Wow. Went from gimme FG to a hard one. 

 

[rockaction]

Hey, I have Marcus Davenport going in an IDP league that doesn't care about my score anymore. 

 

[Insein]

Got it. 

10-0. Insurmountable?

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Tua fumbles in the RedZone, terrible pocket presence. 

Miami lucky to get a FG and extend the lead

 

[Tha Guru]

DL trying to be a hero and pick it up

 

[rockaction]

Damn...I know this is a bad game, but book reports and American Lit class here?

Notice I said nothing about the book. The only thing I remember about the book is Plimpton's fondness for Alex Karras. I read it in my twenties. Anything I read in my twenties I read drunk. I can't remember specifics about anything. 

So no report, sadly. :(

 

[BobbyLayne]

Tua fumbles in the RedZone, terrible pocket presence. 

This feels like a sentence that has been typed often

 

[Boston]

I may be the only one here old enough and a Lion fan to remember that

Alan Alda in the movie.

 

[Maik Jeaunz]

Just fall on the ball you big dummy!

If the Dolphins win tonight, they'll become the first team in NFL history to have at least a 7-game losing streak and 7-game winning streak in the same season.

A win would also propel them to 7th in the AFC's standings and into the third Wild Card spot.

 

[dmac37]

The game is at the Caesars dome, let's see more of the Halley Berry Caesars Cleopatra commercials please.

Defense will have to score at least once

I blame Peyton and Eli for taking the week off.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

2 Sacks

1 Interception

1 Pick-6 

1st Q and counting 

 

[Doug B]

Not on Book - Ruiz let his man go free 

 

[SengerCJ]

I’m ready for some Bortles Ball 

 

[Tha Guru]

Defense will have to score at least once

I agree, but that fat *** runs a 7 flat.  He wasn't making it to the end zone, lol

 

[JaxBill]

I’m ready for some Bortles Ball 

I'm predicting 2nd possession of 2nd Half. Possibly sooner if Book doesn't learn to throw it away

 

[ConnSKINS26]

Why do they no longer throw short passes to Kamara it’s baffling. Free yardage

 

[Insein]

Smart move to punt. NO offense has shown nothing so far. 

 

[belljr]

I’m ready for some Bortles Ball 

No way. They built this offense around the QB from 4 days ago!@!#!#!#

 

[Cobbler1]

Curious why that isn’t counted as a sack. 

 

[Todem]

So sick of this Brissett coming in on 3-1 crap. Enoguh already.

 

[themeistersinger]

I may be the only one here old enough and a Lion fan to remember that

I never read the book but I do remember it

 

[Insein]

I can't imagine Bortles could be this bad. I know he's bad but he's been in the NFL for a number of years. 

 

[Insein]

Surprised no personal foul on the tackle. 

 

[Insein]

I can't help but think Lance Moore is the QB. 

 

[Insein]

What did he do?

Kamara what the hell was that? Right in front of the ref. 

 

[Doug B]

What did he do?

Kamara what the hell was that? Right in front of the ref. 

Took em a good 30-count to throw the flag.

Dolphins D is playing chippy ... probably applying some mustard to Kamara  in the piles.

 

[dmac37]

Kamara usually a mellow dude, surprised he fell for that trick

 

[IHEARTFF]

surprised Kamara didn't get ejected. Guy is trying to wreck all his fantasy teams trying to make the finals.

Wilkins is a ####### clown. He's the guy that hurt Preston Williams last year but everybody denied it. Jumped on his back. 

Clod. Clown. 

 

[JaxBill]

That 355 movie looks really bad.

 

[Todem]

What ****ing hold???

 

[crushedspirit]

Phantom hold

 

[BobbyLayne]

bad officiating 

hate it when the refs kill a drive with phantom bs

 

[rzrback77]

"Book is smart"

-Brian Griese

Maybe “book smart”, but not football smart. Already two days is when he could have sailed a pass well out of bounds.

 

[SoBeDad]

Phantom hold

How long before smart robots replace humans at officiating?

 

[Shrugs]

Refs just stealing 2 points from Waddle. 

 

[dmac37]

Getting a sick feeling Tua can not outscore Gesicki by 5 points the rest of the way. Benching Wentz for Tua may kill my trip to the ship.

 

[crushedspirit]

How long before smart robots replace humans at officiating?

Can it be any worse?

 

[Insein]

Everything looks so hard for the Saints tonight. They exert so much effort to just get a first down. 

 

[dmac37]

How long before smart robots replace humans at officiating?

Willing to give a dumb robot a shot
