Last game of the pre-season. Still, I'm paying attention. In fact, I'll be watching it. Got my cable re-connected yesterday.
Do you go with zero TV in the offseason? Or just get rid of the non-public channels?
I cut it totally. It's a nice change. And it's also nice to turn it back on.
Will it be pouring out there?
Yeah, when it's all shtein the first time around, not much sense in paying for it a second time.
Still, I like a few shows (MythBusters, for example) which I watch year round. Plus, Spongebob is a great babysitter when the toilet needs attention.
One nice thing about living in NYC is that I get every game TWO local teams play. One of which happens to be in the same division as the Eagles. So I get to see a lot of football, and more of the Eagles than most people who aren't in Philly, and aren't paying for the special satellite or cable packages.

Stallworth is dressed....no word on if he'll play or not.
Garcia = 1st quarter
Feeley = 2nd quarter
Chang = 2nd half
Begin 12 minutes of televised pre-kickoff nonsense ... now!
Damn that's an empty stadium.
Ian Eagle and Greg Buttle are hyping us about how Mickens and BJ Askew are on the bubble, "fighting for a job."
This one could get awful wet. Ha.
Jets signed Hank Poteat. Fascinating.
The starters aren't playing, but McNabb is dressed. Why?
Spads says Reid is planning on running the ball. Woo.
Reed and Moats to recieve the kick off. Reed makes it to about the 26. 23 yard return.
Raining, windy and exactly 7 people in the stands.
LET's GO MOATS AND TAPEH!
3 and 5 yard runs from Moats so far.
Tapeh got a carry. I have a FB boner now.
Not only did he get the ball, he made a first down. Garcia scrambles for the first down. Nice.
Two first downs without a single pass.

Spads says Reid is planning on running the ball. Woo.
I think he may be right this time.
Greg Buttle just said some stupid shtein like "Garcia has been much maligned in recent years, and here he is now in a good situation as a solid back up in Philadelphia. He could have a job here for the next ten years."
Eagle said, "Well, he'd be 46."
Garcia has not completed a pass 5 minutes into the game. Cut him.
Avant was juuuust over thrown on that failed Garcia pass.
Baskett would have caught it. And had sex with a cheerleader. He'd have to bring his own for this game, but still.
Jesus Christ.
Defense looks like shtein.
Well, the moment I say that, they actually get a stop.
It was nice to see all four linemen Mamula on the same play. That QB is going to have some serious windburn after this game.
Avant with the holding call, negates a nice Moats run.
Wasted time out.
The FedEx caveman/dinosaur ad is excellent.
Seriously. Cut Garcia.
Did Baskett just pull up?
BRING IN AAAAAAA JAYYYYY!!
Wait, why am I watching this?

Because Dirty Dancing 2 isn't on.
Dude I don't even have a controller. I don't know where TBS is.
What a Hoyda.
Rayburn is the first lineman this preseason to know the offense is going for a screen pass.
I've always liked him.
And follows it up by being lined up completely offsides on that run.
Every lineman gets a .25 sack
I think Mel Brooks yelled gang bang on that play.
Gus Johnson calls Tapeh, Thomas Toupee
Wow, look at all these runs they're calling now.
Three times Garcia has gone deep, three times he's overthrown by mere inches.
Dirk Johnson just face masked the shtein outta that punk.
Diggler called for a facemask. :yay
Jeez...
Nice return by Washington but there is 37 flags.
Probably be called back. Diggler runs him down and facemasks him
Dirk Diggler with the face mask
Play of the game right there.
Oh great, Diggler's hurt.
Figures.
Diggler gets a contract and hurts himself.
Get Landeta on the horn. and bust out the creepy pic of him too.
Strickland did a good job on that stop.
Good tackle by Strickland.
Good fair catch by Reed.
These idiot announcers aren't talking about Dirk at all, of course. What are they saying in the Philly broadcast?
They're looking at Dirk's knee. Mostly they're poking at it.
Nothing really, Dio. Gus and Jaws aren't saying anything either except how Akers and Bartrum love Dirk.
AJ is in.
Moats getting lots of carries already. Good. Work him.
9 yards on that carry for Moats.
Tapeh fighting hard for his yards.
Pass slapped down barely after he throws it. Tell me he couldn't see that guy there.
Nice throw by AJ.
great catch by Avant :yay
A couple of good catches by Avant. I insist again that Garcia should be cut.
Great catch by Avant.
Moats looks alright.
Diggler held for the PAT, so I guess he's okay.
Maybe now the Moats sucks crowd will shut it...
BM,
Yeah, really. The AJ jersey's are back out - WIP is firing up the phone lines and preparing McNabb's funeral.
Jason Short just told Dirk that if he doesn't stop being a pansy about turfburn he's going to eat his lungs.
Mmmmm. Lungs.
Lungs + farva beans + a nice chianti ------mmmmmmm.
That's more of a liver drink.
Doug who?
Bad call by Reed that time. Can't win 'em all.
Reed farged that up something awful. Almost as bad as this Gatorade Rain/Peyton Manning born from a Football commercial. Jesus farg!!
Jay Feely picked up a few on that run to get out of the endzone.
Trotter being interviewed.
I can hear GF's head exploding. :D
McCants just sealed his roster spot.
Oh man, McCants needs to stay on the roster after that.
Cut Greg Lewis.
For the love of god CUT GREG LEWIS AND KEEP MCCANTS!!
Keep throwing it to McCants.
I seriously hate Greg Lewis. Keep McCants, please.
I'm feeling good. Moats and Feeley are both making me feel good. And that McCants play was fun as hell to watch.
Who's this Gaffney guy?
Christ. Feeley to Gaffney. Goodbye Greg Lewis. Please, goodbye Lewis.
Quote from: General_Failure on September 01, 2006, 08:04:36 PM
Who's this Gaffney guy?
Just another guy better than Fast Greggie
AJ looks to me like someone that will be caught with a 13 year old girl after he retires.
Eyes a little close together, yeah?
NFL.com's gamecenter still isn't listing a second QB for the Eagles.
"AJ Feeley is having fun out there" - Ian Eagle
Moats is hurt. They're gonna bring out a stretcher for him. Look at him limp. He must be dead.
He said that before the toss to McCants.
Bye Greggie!
McCants.
Excellent
First and goal. AJ calls for timeout. I don't suppose he remembers ALL the plays yet.
Timeout called by the future child molester.
Tapeh in at RB fat Nick Cole in at FB
Tapeh with the TD.
Cole & Tapeh in the backfield. Tapeh walks in. Football wood.
Football jizz, you mean. You've had football wood for him since you saw him in uniform at the start of the game.
Fat NIck just killed someone. Holy shtein. TD TOUPEE!
96yd drive lead by Mr. Mitts.
The Jets fans didn't like that :-D
I like the idea of a 350lb FB and a 250lb RB.
Quote from: Diomedes on September 01, 2006, 08:11:10 PM

I can neither confirm or deny that until I wash up.
Are the cameras flaking out or is my dish acting up?
Daniels with a very satisfying tackle, loss of five.
Followed by a gain of 8. Third and seven. Two minute warning.
Nice pick.
Dexter Wynn shows Bon Jovi that he can, in fact, play a little. You next starting CB for the Soul...Dex Wynn.
I want to have McCants' man-babies.
Jesus, McCants and Feeley are putting on a show.

You're half way there.....ohhhhhhh, ohhhhhh....
Geez, Feeley looks pretty damn good for a last second trash picking pick up.
Gaffney and Moats doing their part as well. Feeley is happy to run the two minute drill, because he knows it's Chang for the second half. Thorn is down. Oh well.
Thorn may have just earned himself an IR spot.
Akers will go to the NFL Hall of Fame.
They're over-analyzing Digger as the holder. I really wish they'd start drinking before the game.
65 yards on 15 carries for Moats. 61 yards, 3 receptions for McCants. Garcia went 1/6 passing. Good first half.
McCants guaranteed his spot.
See ya Gaffney, unless they trade Lewis.
Also, do you guys think Tapeh is going to make it over Parry?
But it is vanilla! And no scheme! They should be scoring ZERO points and gaining ZERO yars like the taterskins. I mean, that is the way to go through pre-season, right?

Stupid Eagles don't even know how to lose right.
Timmy Chang time.
DonHo is throwing a party in Hawaii!
I got parts of the game on NFL Network No Huddle because I dont live in Philadelphia. That was one nice farging catch by Avant.
And lolzZz @ Wynn thinking hes good.
Hanson may have lost his job tonight. I hope not because that one long pass wasn't his fault. The field was slippery and he got pushed and couldn't keep his footing. Would've happened to anyone.
moats has looked pretty good tonight. so has feely... in fact he has looked awesome as if he never left. compared to garcia he looks like a more capable backup but its only one game against the jets.
i hope they keep gaffney and mccants and cut lewis.
They're playing Wolfmother clips as the audio when the come back from commercial.
They're playing their canned techno music here.
is buck going to play tonight?
and dio i live in nyc also...do u know if we get to see the eagles texans game week 1? giants play a sunday night game and the jets i think play a 1pm game. usually if the jets play at 1pm, fox doesnt show a game but who knows week 1 they might.
McCants is definitely going to make it with tonight's performance. Does it really matter who makes it between Lewis and Gaffney? Neither is going to play hardly at all anyway.
Quote from: Magical_Retard on September 01, 2006, 08:34:27 PM
i hope they keep gaffney and mccants and cut lewis stallworth.
Fixed. Stupid piece of shtein didnt do shtein today.
Yes, it matters. Gaffney is preferable.
Why would they play Buck on the turf in the rain with a bionic knee?
Gus Johnson blowing Joe Gibbs. I can't even get away from hearing Gibbs gets annointed as a saint while watching the local broadcast.

Gaither down! :-\
Gaither hurt.
shtein.
McCants should stay here
Greg Lewis needs to pack his shtein
Still, poop beats them both
I'll be here all night, folks.
Someone find that kid a remote!

Gus Johnson is a farging dumbass. He works for the Bills Television Network too.
What happened to Gaither?
Jets acquired Bobby Hamilton DE, from Oakland. Fascinating.
Ramsey is playing better on that handoff than any taterskins QB this preseason.
I sense some hatred
Maybe I ought to stop this
On second thought, no
Houston is doin' alright.

Diomedes, eh
Why all the hate my good man?
Must be tampon
Jaws must have seen an entirely different play than I did.
GameCenter finally added stats for a third QB: Ramsey.
Drop a sonnet and I'll show respect. Haiku is for chumps.
In the Cincinatti @ Indianapolis game, Quincy Wilson just had about a 20 yard run and his face was like a foot from the ground the entire time.
Oh Jesus, who gave Banner a headset?
Glad I don't have to hear that.
He should be sued for being such a stereotype.
Avant with another catch, fighting for more yards.
Avant with a nice stiff arm. I could get used to liking this guy.
Avant does a good job on that catch and run, Gaffney there to cheer him on after the play. Perry with a big run, flag on the play. Gotta be holding. Yep.
Perry making one last ditch effort to keep a job. That long run is coming back. Shame too, he used his blockers well.
Quote from: General_Failure on September 01, 2006, 08:50:16 PM
Oh Jesus, who gave Banner a headset?
Jesus himself did.
Perry >>>> Mahe
Goddamn Justin Jenkins called for holding. fargin bum.
Is anyone reading this thread NOT watching the game?
GameCenter added Chang, still no AJ. I know you all care.
The backups, much like the starters, are not very good against the run.
Get Houston!!
Houston, btw, likes the spin move too much. Just sayin'.

33 yard penalty on a bad call. What did Ware do wrong there?
Ramsey, on that awful pass, has still outplayed the taterskins' QBs this preseason.
You're not saying much, Big Brother.
Do any of these linemen know how to tackle?
Oh, Rayburn does.

I can pinpoint you as the reasin for my upcoming eating disorder.
Chang has twice as many completions and nearly 7 times as many yards as Garcia.
The last quarter of the pre season is under way, praise be to Satan.
Who's down?
Rodgers.
Who??
The guy that's limping off the field.
Whatever. Good luck, Rodgers. Chang tosses a gorgeous pick.
There goes Chang.
Quote from: General_Failure on September 01, 2006, 09:15:31 PM
Rodgers.
Isn't he the answer to Spadaro's trivia question earlier this week? haha
P.S. Feeley was insane with all the hand signals and ish during the 2-minute drill. Making himself right at home.
7 guys with their hands on the runner, nobody gets him until he gets to the first down marker. Pathetic.
Jason Short.
Houston is looking like a Pro Bowl player out there. Or at least being made to look like one.
Reed dropped an easy one and threw his gloves away.
He was disgusted with those gloves. Just horrible things, those bad, bad things.
Moats on the kick return. Reed is being held out because he threw away his gloves, costing the equipment department unnecessary expenditure.
That might cost him a roster spot. They should trade him.
Oh no, Mr. Bill!!
Chang picked off again right after Jaws said he'd take him on the Soul.
Chang picked off by a rookie from Texas Christian.
BAM!
Who is Lee?
And here I was thinking they might cut that McNabb fellow and go with Chang.
No, but they're certainly going with AJ to start the season.
Quote from: Diomedes on September 01, 2006, 09:35:40 PM

Darrell Lee (http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/501476)
Wow, this guy Ian Eagle is awful excited to calll a touchdown for the Jets.
Wynn just got knocked back by a QB. He should be ashamed of himself.
Andy is visualizing cutting guys right now. I'm talking about ear to ear with a hunting knife.
Short gets dibs on the blood. He puts it in his cereal.
And by *cereal*, you mean human remains or excrement.
Finger bones and entrails.
Perry goes STRAIGHT for the sideline.
Jenkins was very excited about that catch.
Might as well try to win the game.
GameCenter credited Stallworth with that catch.
Oh great. A review. upon first replay, it's clear to me that he caught it.
Quick review.
Preseason drama. Feel the excitement!
Helmet off! Helmet off! Where's the flag?! These things are important, damnit!

Perry got stuffed.
What happened there besides the obvious?
Bad blocking, bad handoff, nowhere to run.
Houston got his 100th yard on his 23rd carry.
Wynn lets the punt bounce, roll down the field, and the clock tick away.
Chang is pressued by the one man rush into throwing another pick to end the game.
Way to do Hawaii proud Timmy! Thank god for Victorino.
Wynn and Chang can carpool back home out west on Sunday.
A little concerned about Bunkley sucking wind on the sidelines. I hope he's in shape.

Don't sweat it. FSU DT's always are shining examples of peak physical conditioning. :paranoid
Bunkley was out there far more than he will be during any game this season.
Yeah, I guess that's true. Him and Walker will split the time.
Why do you think Andy played him so much though? To whip his ass into shape or because Andy wanted to see more out of Bunkley?
Well, it's obvious to any real fan that he stole a page from Gibbs again. He wanted to send a message to Bunkley, put him in a position to get worn out, then gloat over him. It will build character, make him humble yet also eager to prove everyone wrong. Everyone, even the people that said he's going to be a stud.
AJ Feeley kicks ass.
Timmy Chang is shtein.
Thomas Tapeh for MVP.
Avant is better than Gaffney.
Tank Daniels should have a shot to win a roster spot.
Dexter Wynn still hearts pen16.
Quintin Mikell hits like a motherfarger.
Sam Rayburn is good.
i listened to the first half on jets radio and didnt see any of the game can someone give me a bullet summary of the game with all the important goings on...
Garcia sucks
AJ played like he never left
Nick Cole is the starting FB
Bunkley is out of shape

Brett Myers type hit or Leisuresuit Larry type hit?
eagles/jets replay is on nfl network right now...and i know you want to watch that masterpiece again.
McCants must feel like shtein. He had a good game. It is obvious to me that he was a dead man walking already.
We can only hope that Greggie gets hurt soon.
At least he's the 5th WR. Basically goes from catching a TD in the superbowl to starting to barely making the team and playing special teams. next stop: the cfl.
