BUZZSAW!!!!!!!

i went to a wedding reception on Saturday night after watching the 1st half of the Arizona and Carolina game in a daze. someone came up to me and saw that i was on my phone checking the score the make sure it was for real. he'd been at the wedding all day and had no idea what was going on in the game. "Hey what's the score of the Panthers' Cardinals' game?" he asked me. "30 to 7" i replied. "oh man, poor Arizona. the Panthers are killing them." was his response. i just looked at him and shook my head, "nah dude. the motherfucking Buzzsaw is destroying them." to say he looked shocked was an understatement.

with the Falcons outta the playoffs and me having zero rooting interest for any of the teams left, i am officially jumping on the Buzzsaw Bandwagon. not for real. i mean i could care less if they make it to the Super Bowl or not, but this whole Arizona Cardinals kicking people's asses and ruling in the playoffs thing has me totally amused. like Vanderbilt Football, The LA Clippers, and the Kansas City Royals, Arizona is always gonna hold a soft spot in my heart and get some rooting interest from me. long suffering/apathetic fanbases all deserve a moment of glory...no matter how fleeting. it's just kind of mind blowing to watch these Cardinals rip the ass off the (hated) Carolina Panthers and feed it back to them. i guess it's a good time to be a Jesus Freak QB in football right now. Tebow and Warner, God favors you both over all others.

as for the other 3 teams in the playoffs, i have various degrees of hatred towards all of them. Baltimore is just the most fucking boring team this side of a Michigan/Ohio State football game, the Eagles are of the City of Philadelphia which puts them just one spot behind any Boston area teams for regional hatred, and then Pittsburgh is just a team that i'm sick of. granted i grew up outside Pittsburgh in Beaver Falls and loved the Steelers as a child, but that was a long time ago and my heart belongs to the Falcons now. besides nobody likes seeing their old girlfriend doing well for herself.

possible Super Bowl story lines that i am already sick of even though they haven't started yet....
1. The Eagles vs. Steelers in the all Pennsylvania Super Bowl.
2. if the Ravens get in the whole "is Joe Flacco the Greatest Rookie QB ever?" angle.
3. Arizona vs. Pittsburgh with the whole Ken Whisenhunt used to be the Steelers offensive coordinator and was passed up for the job and now he's facing his old team. blah blah blah.
4. Can Donovan McNabb win a Super Bowl? when Andy Reid benched him it really woke up a fire inside him. he's a warrior. blah blah blah blah
5. all the comparisons this year's Eagles team is getting to last year's Giants team.
6. Ravens vs. Eagles. Hey It's 2 6th seeds in a Super Bowl. that's never happened before. let's talk about it.

FALCONS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hell to the Yes. It's Playoff time! Arizona, we are coming to whip your ass today...and by We i mean Michael Turner, Matt Ryan, Roddy White, John Abraham, and the rest of the Falcons...i'll be at home drinking and doing the Dirty Bird.

KICK OUT THE JAMS, MOTHERFUCKER!

I <3 Them Falcons

with Auburn's season in the toilet and my fantasy team totally proving itself to be sucktastic, it gives me a great since of relief to know that the Atlanta Falcons can go out on a Sunday and just kick someone's fucking ass like they did against that alleged NFL franchise out in Oakland. also watching De'Angelo Hall get burned multiple times in the game just added to the pleasure of the Falcons' blowout victory over the Raiders. i can't believe it, but this team rules. a win next week over the Saints and the Playoffs look like a very real possibility. at this point i gotta believe this team is gonna at least go 9-7. the Falcons are entering the toughest part of their schedule with 2 games against the Saints, the Broncos and Panthers coming to ATL, and a trip out to San Diego over the next 5 weeks. if the Falcons can go 3-2 in that stretch then you have to think they are a legitimate playoff contender.

it's 100% official, following the most painful season in Falcons history, Atlanta made possibly the 3 best moves in franchise history by hiring Mike Smith, signing Michael Turner, and drafting Matt Fucking Ryan (aka Fucknuts McWhitey aka the MOST AWESOME QB IN FALCONS HISTORY BESIDES MIKE VICK ON MADDEN). i have never been so happy to be so wrong about this team.

Favre is still Shitty...just so you know

i was gonna write this really long post about Favre's crappy performance last night and how i think that last year was just a big fucking mirage, but those boys over at KSK pretty much nailed it, so i ain't got to much else to add. i bet Chad Pennington and Aaron Rogers were text each other during the game and laughing their asses off.

So Brutal It Should Be Considered a Snuff Film

i sorta watched the game between the Giants and Redskins last night...but mostly i was caught up in the whole Vandy knocking off the Gamecocks deal. from what i could tell the game wasn't very exciting and Jason Campbell can't seem to figure out how far he needs to throw the ball to get a 1st down. such is the misery of a former Auburn QB residing in the NFL (it's a short list). luckily Brandon Jacobs represented for the Auburn Tigers fully last night by running the fuck over former LSU Tiger Laron Landry.

Beware: not safe for small children or Laron Landry's mother.
