Around the NFL: Week 5

The good news for Ponder is, at least he gets to go home and bang a hot chick.


The way Ponder played she might get intercepted on his way home. that's the kinda night he is having.

However hot you think she is on camera, double it. She is just, I mean every cliche about beauty applies to her.

She's almost smart and funny

Freudian slip - "almost"? Or should it have read "also"?

Pretty funny.

Pretty funny.

haha, whoops. Yeah also. Definitely also.

The NFL needs to dump these Thursday games and just leave it for Thanksgiving. The games suck, the players hate it, so do the coaches. I turned it off. Christian Ponder? No thanks.

So the NFL is supposed to know ahead of time that all these teams on the losing side of TNF would have had injured or suspended players?

I agree that the games are a big inconvenience for the teams. But some of the these blowouts took place due to unforeseen circumstances (injuries, suspended players, etc., etc.). The first two games were pretty competitive games. And coming up there are some evenly matched team on the docket.

thursday night games were a bad idea to begin with, the turnover is too quick. Teams are not prepared and guys are not 100%, it makes for bad football. The product is getting worse, but hey at least football is making a boatload of money. That what really matters.

Money ruined the NBA and has devastated Nascar. Nascar is barely watchable.

I can see how the NBA has changed, but what exactly has changed about NASCAR?

They really need to plan for the Thursday night teams to have byes before that game. I understand that nobody complains about the teams playing on Thanksgiving, but still, it's pretty brutal - especially if you're playing back to back division games.

Its really been amazing to watch, but a ton has changed and not overnight. I think in order to "family-tise" it for media and corporate sponsorship has done the most damage. Over haul of the image made it terrible. But if you look today, you have stuff like 4 car, multi team orgainizations where its become like a franchises which is horrible because we've eliminated the independents and smaller team which were the heart of the sport. The rules and regulations of basic racing has been terrible. Changes to the cars which made them basically all the same...the manufactures used to have more input, and cars were different. Also it less about the drivers and more about the cars...meaning the drivers and their driving styles have been eliminated. The points systems and the playoffs...cant find the right combo, but I think actually this year way makes the most sense.

There is alot more, but those are the beginning. Nascar has lost a ton of folks, ESPN has stepped away, folks arent going to the races like they use to...and its easy to see why.
