Sunday was my best football day of the year! I got to see my Cowboys win in the early game, the Broncos (with my Peyton ) win in the late afternoon/evening game, and my Ravens beat the Steelers on SNF. I am still smiling. ;D

It was a good day! ;D

Not for my Packers.

But good for you all.

[wvugurl26]

Well the stupid Cowboys lost. I have no idea how I did in pick em league.

My fantasy team though did well led by Stafford and the NE defense. I am currently winning.

[spydah]

Did you catch highlights of the niners beating on the Aints? ;D

[Deleted]

Hey Diddle Diddle, Ray Rice up the middle. ;D

[wvugurl26]

My personal favorite of highlights was Mark Sanchez running into his own guy.

Hey fam I saw a stat, the Steelers are 0-6 when anyone besides Ben starts against the Ravens. Hope they make it 0-7 Sunday!

[Deleted]

Ben says he is going to try to start on Sunday. If his injury was as bad as he first said "he could have died", I think coming back too soon is a stupid move. Suggs will be waiting for him. Anyway, no matter who is starting, I'm looking forward to it. It will probably be another heart stopper though.

[wvugurl26]

I saw that last night that it was 50-50 on Ben playing Sunday. I thought Suggs came back too soon but he did well in the first game back.

[daisylu]

Fam, did you see the shirt Rice had made to benefit his charity?


I was worried about Suggs as well, but he was on Fire Sunday! And they are now expecting Ray Lewis back, possibly as early as Dec 16th.

[Wisconsin Beth]

I'm hoping to get Clay Matthew back this week. And Jennings soon after.

I did see the shirt Daisy! It is awesome. ;D You know that Suggs gets the most fired up to see Ben, so I hope he plays.

I hope Ray takes his time so he is fine for the playoffs.

[wvugurl26]

I saw the shirt on ESPN at lunch. It was odd because I asked a coworker if he'd seen it then ESPN showed it a few minutes later.

One of my favorite Ravens t-shirts that I ever saw had this written on it:

"God can have his soul, but his ass belongs to me." T-Suggs
"And Big Ben, he is coming for you."

[wvugurl26]

Omg daisy I just snorted water out of my nose. My coworkers are gonna love that saying!

[daisylu]

The first part is an actual quote from Suggs from just before their first meeting of the 2011 season.

This is not the shirt I saw, but here is a sample that I found here www.marylands-team.com/items/god-can-have-your-soul-tee/ :



DD wants the "Tuck Yeah" shirt on that site.

[wvugurl26]

One of my coworkers told me it was a quote he'd said earlier.

[Deleted]

LOL at the shirt!

Wow, Drew Brees looked baaad last night!

I caught the tail end of a blip on news about Airport workers throwing eggs at the Saints players. I should go back and see if I can find the whole story but that was the gist of it. Maybe the Saints players could borrow the AINT'S brown bags from fans - the ones they wore to games years ago

[daisylu]

NNP, this is the article that I read:
sports.yahoo.com/news/nfl--atlanta-new-orleans--the-nfl-s-next-great-rivalry--162214985.html;_ylt=A2KJ3CY89LlQ_UYA7DHQtDMD

When it comes to New Orleans Saints vs. Atlanta Falcons, the rivalry doesn't start with the opening kickoff. No, it begins the moment the visiting team arrives in enemy territory. And if this week is any indication, Thursday night's game ought to be a beauty.

Wednesday night, the Saints had deplaned at Hartsfield-Jackson Airport in Atlanta and were boarding their team bus when they experienced a new kind of heckling: eggs. Seriously. Airport workers were throwing eggs at them. Saints players responded quickly on Twitter:

"Guess they really do hate us!" tweeted backup QB Chase Daniel.

"Classy!" added tight end Jimmy Graham.

EggGate is now the latest salvo in what's fast becoming one of the NFL's most compelling rivalries, a battle both on field and off. Appropriately enough for its Southern locale, it's the rivalry that most resembles college football, where attitude and personality play key roles, and where everyone – fan and player alike – is a combatant.

What a terrible game! We were horrible on offense and defense and Suggs got hurt. FAIL!

[Wisconsin Beth]

I think I saw about 30 seconds of the game. I did stuff and then crashed.

Yeah that didn't go as planned. Hopefully Suggs is ok.

The good news is everyone in my pick em league put 14 or more points on the Ravens winning. Who would have thought they'd lose to a 3rd string quarterback.

[BeenThere...DoneThat...]

...whew...

[daisylu]

So Suggs may be out on the week that Lewis returns to practice?!!

Going to be a late night for me - I always stay up to watch Peyton's press conference. Why must the Broncos have so many night games!

[Iggy aka IG]

Broncos vs Raiders tonight. Local fans are predicting the Broncos are going all the way to the Bowl this year.

[Wisconsin Beth]

Go Raiders!

Lol, good luck Raiders, but it is not looking good.

...if not the Broncos, then the Texans, Steelers, Ravens, or Patriots... and if not them, then who knows?

...we should see an AFC SB winner this year, imo...

;D

...please be us...
