Lions and Browns in the Super Bowl.

Satan should check on some good HVAC systems, just in case.

So Watson is making a guaranteed 46 million a year for 5 years? He's gotta be making like 8 million a start! Then Joe Flacco off of his couch. It's madness!

Butchie from Hamden is loudly advocating on local sports radio that clearly the Ravens made a mistake signing Lamar in the offseason when Joe was available to come back. I AM NOT JOKING.

Browns are gonna be the 5 seed - so if they win their playoff game against the AFC south winner (which they will probably be favored to do) and if the 2 and 3 seeds win then Flacco comes to Baltimore for divisional round of playoffs...and if Browns won that with Flacco at QB the talk radio around here would be especially horror-laden...

Last time the Lions and Browns were both in the playoffs was 1994.

Would have been Scott Mitchell for Detroit that year I think.

Do you mean Kelly Holcomb? That's way earlier. I think it was still Vinny Green Balls.

I sit corrected, it was Testaverde.

ETA: It's "Green head"

Yes. His Ronnie character is not a huge exaggeration from Butchie from Hamden (my character).

Ravens are honoring Ray Rice at their game tomorrow. So gross.

That’s great but it’s meaningless if the Ravens don’t acknowledge it during the ceremony. And even with all that still feels too soon.

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Sat Dec 30, 2023 8:57 pm

All right, all right, I’ll ask. Who is Jimmy Johnson?

L-Jam3 · Post by **L-Jam3** » Sat Dec 30, 2023 9:08 pm

7-time NASCAR champ. Bronto is not amused.

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Sat Dec 30, 2023 9:30 pm

I thought it was the sandwich shop guy, but that makes more sense.

rass · Post by **rass** » Sat Dec 30, 2023 9:38 pm

Is this ceremony just for Johnson or is it for Jones too or have Jones and Johnson not interacted in almost 30 years because Buck keeps mentioning Jones.

Post by **brian** » Sat Dec 30, 2023 9:46 pm

The reason the rest of the country hates the Cowboys so much is because no other team would get this reverential treatment for a guy that hasn’t coached in three decades. Fuck the Cowboys.

rass · Post by **rass** » Sat Dec 30, 2023 10:06 pm

This is dumb old man shit but I liked it better when the cowboys refused to wear blue at home.

WTF was with that 2 point conversion at the end of the game? Did the guy just forget to tell the ref he was eligible? Can’t believe they didn’t kick after the penalty, but I guess they already won the division.

Jerloma · Post by **Jerloma** » Sat Dec 30, 2023 11:31 pm

I wonder how far back they could go before Campbell would have kicked the XP.

They're also playing for HFA and a bye though.

They weren't. They didn't want to play an overtime period.

I think ref fucked up per every observer postgame.

feels like the simplest explanation is that the officials mistook Decker and Skipper somehow and that set off the chain of events

(not a defense, it just feels like the only way this makes sense without veering too off the rails)

Taking a lot of the heat off another McCarthy game management boondoggle.

Yea, it sucks that Detroit lost, but with the Dallas win, the Patriots have the 3rd pick currently...

It will be fascinating to see how the Bears handle things in the draft.

bfj · Post by **bfj** » Sun Dec 31, 2023 12:24 pm

Ravens starting safety Kyle Hamilton (knee), starting cornerback Brandon Stephens (ankle), and starting right guard Kevin Zeitler (knee/quad) are all inactive for the first time this season.

Not what you want to see facing Miami.

L-Jam3 · Post by **L-Jam3** » Sun Dec 31, 2023 2:29 pm

Nobody tell Julio Jones that it isn’t 2015 anymore.

Johnnie · Post by **Johnnie** » Sun Dec 31, 2023 2:45 pm

So what's Justin Fields going to fetch in a trade? The Bears can clinch the #1 pick today with a Carolina loss.
