Take that, Chowderheads!

[Seabiscuit]

Chargers 14, Pats 3.

Next week, Bolts vs. Colts.

Today, Bolts vs. Dolts.

[Seabiscuit]

1. OK, OK, New England just scored. Flame away, already!

[bigwillq]

2. It's kind of early to talk shit isn't it?

:shrug:

[Seabiscuit]

5. Never too early to talk shit when you live in San Diego.

We're just a buncha shit-kicking shit-talkers.

[Seabiscuit]

23. In retrospect, make that...

a buncha shit-talkin' shit-kickers.

[deucemagnet]

3. Well, they're covering the spread, at least.

I got a little better than 5/2 on a straight-up Pats win, and covered the bet with Pats + 4-1/2 points in case they don't win. I've only got about $10 riding on this, but it makes the game a little more interesting. :P

[Seabiscuit]

4. yep ..covering the spread

I have a buddy in Boston, Mass. I think doing the same except he's got thousands riding on this. I'm not really a big football enthusiast but watching the Chargers do what they did this year has been fun to watch.

BTW, I never bet on sports.

I just talk trash. :)

6. this may turn out to be

a premature exclamation :evilgrin:

[hijinx87]

7. just thought of something

if SD hangs on, the big winner will probably be peyton
manning. poor baby won't have to play in the cold in
horrid new england.

[Cush]

8. San Diego is doing its best to blow this one

[hijinx87]

9. looks like l'il peyton may have to pack his long johns

after all :evilgrin:

on edit: never mind. I think indy has home field if NE wins. so, GO BOLTS!!

[havocmom]

:banghead:

The Chargers sucked today. How many dropped balls???

[havocmom]

12. I don't watch. My pet New Englander yells enough that I don't have to.

Did look in now and then. Saw lots of slippin 'n slidin. Did it rain there? Fog?

[Seabiscuit]

16. Just one of the worst played games in NFL playoff history, that's all.

The Chargers just lost bigger than New England.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

18. That one drive was really awful.

The one near the very end. The Pats got a TD off of it, but there were 2 or 3 turnovers on one drive!

:eyes:

[hijinx87]

14. just the two on phillip rivers

:evilgrin:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

13. Ahem.

Never bet against Belichick.

:P

[Seabiscuit]

15. I just lost all interest in the playoffs this year.

Chicago?

New Orleans?

Indianapolis?

New England?

Not much there to get excited about.

Back to watching the paint peel for the next three weeks.

[pokerfan]

28. Rex Grossman for Superbowel MVP

I can see it now.

[Redstone]

17. Ahem. Charge THIS: 24 to 21.

Redstone

[Seabiscuit]

19. Sorry. I'm clean outta lighting bolts.

Got my shit-talkin' clock cleaned today.

[Redstone]

20. And you're man enough to admit it, with no excuses. Unlike most sports fans. I like that.

Redstone

[Seabiscuit]

22. No biggie. I'm not much of a football fan. Just goofin' around about the

Chargers, which happen to be my home team, because there's been so much Charger mania around here this week.

They have a bunch of young talented players who just choked under pressure today. Worst outing by far this year.

[Redstone]

24. The Mania will grip you, won't it? Even if you're not a big fan. Happens everywhere in the world.

Here in the US, it's football or baseball. Everywhere else, soccer.

What is it about sports that siezes people's minds, do you think?

Redstone

[Seabiscuit]

25. I don't know about the rest of the world, but here in SD

you couldn't drive anywhere without seeing some building with a big "GO CHARGERS" banner on it. I hadn't paid much attention to the NFL season until that happened. Then I noticed - hey, the Chargers are in the playoffs? WTF??? Poof! Instant fan! :)

As for those poor souls who are die-hard fans of some sports team or another day-in and day-out, year after year, well... I can only speculate about how boring their lives must be... - I guess I always had the most pity for those Boston fans who believed in "the curse of the Bambino".

OTOH, I must confess deep admiration for the sheer grace and athleticism of winter and summer Olympic competitors. Some small portion of that is present in football and baseball, I suppose.

[Redstone]

26. That will happen. But now that the game is over, you can go back to real life.

And we Patriots fans (such as Mrs R, and by extension me, have to continue to suffer).

Redstone

[Seabiscuit]

27. Yeah - as I said earlier, watching paint peel for the next 3 weeks. As for

you and your wife, enjoy your well-deserved suffering. :)

[havocmom]

21. Ah, my second favorite New Englander finally dropped in

:hi: Redstone. Are ya doin a happy dance? Havocdad celebrated by firing up some power tools and making a couple new holes in the floor.

At least he waited till AFTER that to pop the cork on some wine. :D

[sniffa]

29. nice thread

:woohoo:

[trof]

30. BWAAHAAHAAHAAHAAHAA!!!!!!!!!!!
