All I can say is that the Angels dodged one huge, kamikaze bullet by not having to go up against the Diceman.  Remember what he did to them last time they squared off?  It's okay if you don't, because I can remind you (0 ER, 3 Hits, 3 BB, 5 K, 1 W).  To be honest, I would have led off with Daisuke in game 1 and then probably brought him back for game 3, as well.  Steve Berthaiume agrees.

Sayonara means Go Fuck Yourself!

Go Bombers.

Why Hockey is Better than your Favorite Sport

Because everyone knows what sudden death means.

Recently in the NFL, there has been a rash of retardation when it comes to overtime situations.  Beginning with Donovan McNabb who apparently didn't know that there is, in fact, tying in football.  Then, Marvin Lewis felt the need to punt the ball with about a minute to go in OT two weeks ago, only to be persuaded to kick a field goal instead.  Apparently, he thought they would have the upper-hand in the second OT.  During that same game, former player, professional dickhead, and current analyst Rich Gannon feared that if the Bengals left too much time on the clock, then the Browns could offer a rebuttal, either tying or winning the game in the process.

THE SHEET®: Week 5 Results

You all had fair warning, but one of you decided that it was worth rolling the dice.  Jables Durst decided it was more important to cuddle up with his anal squeeze all Saturday night, rather than to jump on the 'Net  and get his picks in appropriately and punctually.  Well, let's just say that we don't expect him to make the same mistake twice...

Wait, this is the second time he's done this already?

Well, let's just say it won't... Oh, who the fuck am I kidding?  Anyway, when it does happen again, he can expect the same treatment he received this time through.

Speaking of Jables, who's on Sheet duty this week?  Ohhh shit.  So, tell you what I'm going to do: I'm going to place and maintain your expectations at the lowest position possible.  After all, this is his first time as The Sheetmaster® and he's really not funny nor is he all that entertaining of a human being,   So in all seriousness, don't expect much from THE SHEET® this week.  We'll try and make it up to you come week 7, of course.

Oh yeah, and in other news, Le Gina is the winner this week, but that's really a contradiction in terms so don't take it to heart.

We're all waiting, Jables; impatient and shuddersome.  Good luck...

You're gonna need it!

32 Things

As you may or may not have noticed, this blog is strongly biased toward two things in life: football and music.  We try to unify the two in print as well as we do in our own minds, but these things do not necessarily translate all that well when traveling between the abstract to the tangible.  But this new segment appears to be prepped for success and understanding.  It combines our favorite sport with one of our favorite songs and the two get along just fine, even if it is also combined with one of our least favorite things; NFL recap posts.  Regardless, it's 32 Things!

32 Things - moe.

1.  Bills - How. Fucking. Sad.

2.  Saints - Two consecutive below average performances from Drew Brees, and here come the Giants

3.  Vikings - Is it possible to wish upon a stroke?

Daily, er, Weekly Bills

The Buffalo Bills are a sad sack organization. They have a great fanbase, but it is a tortured one. If the Bills aren't wallowing in the basement of the AFC East, well then they are off losing consecutive Super Bowls four at a time. Sadly, this is the most interesting point of note for the entire organization. Don't believe it? Well then allow us to extend an invitation so that you may find out for yourself. You are ALL invited to bear witness to the wretched hilarity that is the Buffalo Bills Daily calendar.

Coming off a week where the Bills running backs combined for 46 yards on 17 carries (even with the settings on Beast Mode!), we thought this would be applicable.

Bills Fact

The Bills' Thurman Thomas (1988-1999) ranks third among all players in NFL history with 1,422 yard rushing in post season games.

-- 

To be fair, I could probably be in the top 10 in playoff rushing yards considering how many playoff games the Bills appeared in (and lost) during the good old Thermal days.  But since in the eyes of TO the Bills are still a playoff team, maybe Freddy and Shawny can still make a dent in TT's records.

And while we here at FSD won't be bringing these interesting factoids (and trivia!)... daily, we will do you the favor of cherry-picking the GEMS such as the one above, so that you are able to know only the truly important details concerning this sad bastard franchise. Until next time, Go Billies!
