Week 4 Math

The season is 1/4 over, and I think we are starting to see who is good. If the Colts, Patriots, or Cowboys don't win the Superbowl I will be shocked. So without further expert analysis, here is Week 4 Math

The Chicago Bears + Brian Griese at QB = The Chicago Bears + Rex Grossman at QB

The San Diego Chargers + Phillip Rivers at QB = The Chicago Bears + Rex Grossman at QB

Forrest Gump + Lennie from "Of Mice and Men" + Corky from "My So Called Life" = People smart enough not to kick the ball to Devin Hester...unlike the rest of the NFL

The San Diego Chargers - Marty + the misguided belief that Norv Turner can coach + a 1-3 record + an unhappy LT = Suck it, AJ Smith

Brett Favre + his play so far this year = Reports of my death were greatly exaggerated

Brett Favre + his play the rest of this year = We'll see...but I will admit that I made a bad call on his sucking, he looks really solid

Adrian Peterson - injury = Unanimous Offensive Rookie of the Year. This guy can play!

Romo + Owens + Barber + Witten + Crayton + a Healthy Terry Glenn - Bill Parcells = NFC Champion Dallas Cowboys

Dallas Cowboys + Julius Jones starting = WHY!?! Dallas O always struggles early, and this is the reason

Tony Romo + 4 weeks of kicking ass = People not bringing up the bobbled snap...except for NFL Math

9 million + 10 million + 14 million + 16 million + a 21 million dollar signing bonus = Romo's soon to be new contract

My love life + OJ Simpson + Britney Spears = things more pathetic than the AFC East - the Patriots

An exciting young coach + a solid defense + a strong running game + 2 straight wins = The Oakland Raiders...WAIT! DID I REALLY JUST WRITE THAT!?!?!?!

Mike Tomlin + a private detective friend in Hawaii who drives a Ferrari = TC from "Magnum, PI"

Ben Roethlisberger + his performance this week = I told you so

Warner + The revolving door at QB in AZ = A Big Fuck You to Leinert by his coaches...quit trying to fuck girls from "The Hills" and study film on your next opponent!!

Carolina + Their inconsistency + Them missing the playoffs...again = John Fox out + Bill Cowher in

The Baltimore Ravens + Their D giving up 27 points to the fucking Cleveland Browns = Billick's seat starting to get warm...and it's about goddamn time

My lunches from the 2nd to 4th grade + Groceries + Billy Martin with the Yankees = Things that have been sacked less times than Donovan McNabb was against the Giants

Super Dave Osbourne + An exasperated look on his face = Tom Coughlin

Bobby Petrino + 1 win in the NFL = 1 more win than that cunt deserves! Fuck you Houston! AND FUCK YOU PETRINO!!! YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE!!!!

DeAngelo Hall + last week's sideline tirade against Petrino = DeAngelo Hall being the official favorite player of NFL Math

Amelia Earhart + Chandra Levy = More likely to appear at an NFL game than the 49ers' offense

Trent Dilfer + his shitty decision making + his shitty QB skills = Wait...why isn't he playing for the Bears?

TD + TD + TD + FG + Kneel downs to end the game = Colts' 2nd half possessions

The above equation = A Happy NFL Math

Harrison hurt + Sanders hurt + Morris hurt + Addai hurt = An Unhappy NFL Math

Tampax + Victoria's Secret + New England Clam Chowder = The only products not currently endorsed by Peyton Manning

Dallas Clark + Joseph Addai = the new heart and soul of the Colts Offense

So that was the week in the NFL, talk to you after Monday Night's Bengals destruction at the hands of the Cheaters

Stand by your man, or how I learned to stop worrying about my franchise QB...and started weeping about it

With our team's first pick in the NFL Draft, we select...a failure.

It happens every year. Several QBs are taken by desparate teams looking for the face of a franchise. And three or four years later most of those same teams are still looking for that face in the crowd.

The QB pick is the hardest to get right, and unfortunately, it is also the most important. For every Peyton Manning there are 5 Ryan Leafs out there with promises of a strong arm or "good pocket presence". Of course they end up playing in Canada or attacking reporters or playing for the Buffalo Bills.

Which brings us to one Rex Grossman.

Rex has been benched, and there is little doubt that he will never be a starting QB in the NFL again. I mean, when fans are chanting the name of Brian Griese to replace you, you know you are never going to play starting QB again.

But why did it take so long? Rex Grossman has sucked for years. He cost the Bears the Superbowl by playing like...Rex Grossman. Trent Dilfer won the Superbowl with the Ravens. He WON THE GAME and he got released cause they didn't believe in him.

Why? Why do they hang on to the shitty QBs they draft when it is hopeless, but cut and run with the ones they bring in who are only mediocre? I really don't know.

Is it ego? Is it a need to be the one who drafted the franchise guy? The one who coached a franchise guy?

Grossman, Joey Harrington, JP Losman, Vick before the dogs...all these guys sucked, and I mean SUCKED for years, but they still got the pass. Harrington was finally let go by the Lions after 4 years of shit.

Dilfer, Plummer, Culpepper, Bledsoe...all were brought in an dumped in record amounts of time when they didn't perform well enough.

Maybe the thing is, nothing sticks to your franchise like drafting a bad QB. So maybe it is the need to wash away the stink of failure that causes these GMs and teams to stand by their men. I don't know.

But I do know this. If I were a fan of the Bills, 49ers, or Cardinals I would start weeping, cause your QB sucks and your management is not going to pull the plug for years.


---------------------------------------------------------------------
Postscript
I will say that that the only good QB to come into the league in the last 2 years is Vince Young. Cutler looks OK, but not spectacular, and Leinhart...sorry.

Bill Belichick is a fucking genius!

As a die hard Colts fan. If ever there were a time to pile on the worst human being in the world, Bill Belichick, it would be today. But there is a sinking feeling in my heart that perhaps Belichick did this for a reason.

Remember when the Pats 1st won the Superbowl. They cried, "Nobody believed in us!" Two years later they won again crying, "Nobody believed in us!" even though they were favored in the Superbowl. The next year they go on to win 21 games in a row, go 14-2, and they cried, "Nobody believed in us".

The last few years have been different. They didn't have the talent, but people still had the expectations. They faltered in the playoffs so they decide to go out and get Moss, Thomas, and Welker. By the time the prognostications came out there was nobody (Trust me I read and hear everything) who didn't pick the Patriots to win the Superbowl. They couldn't play the "Nobody believed in us" card anymore and be taken seriously as rational human beings. But it is that card, more than anything else, that gives the Patriots their power.

And this is where Belichick's Machiavellian genius comes in.

I think he planted that camera on the sidelines in plain view so that the Pats would be doubted again.

Listen to the talk shows and read the stories. Listen to the fans of the Eagles and Steelers. They're saying that the Patriots can't perform without their subterfuge. They
point to Belichick and scream that he can't do it without stealing signs. Brady sucks in real life, but the cheating makes him the star that he is.

And of course, the Superbowls are tainted.

Imagine being a Patriot right now and hearing all that. Imagine being told that you can't play for shit because of something that you probably had no knowledge of. Wouldn't you feel like NOBODY BELIEVED IN YOU?

So to Mr. Belichick, who has the most talented and now the most motivated roster in football, who is about to go undefeated and win the Superbowl by 60 points, I salute you, you magnificent bastard!

Week 1 Math - Monday Night Games

Here are some equations for the Monday night games

Tom Brady + same baby daddy issues - ability to thread a needle with a pass = Matt Leinart

Arizona Cardinals - ability to hold a lead in the 4th Quarter = They are who we thought they were

Steve McNair - the 2nd half ot the Superbowl he lost where he played great = the most average "great" QB ever

The drummer for Def Leppard + Captain Hook + a four year old girl = 3 people that can hold on to a football better than the Ravens

Ocho Cinco + lame TD celebration = On thin Ice

Johnson + Johnson + Johnson + Johnson + Johnson = the Cincinnatti Bengals

Espionage + Illegal Drugs + Poor Sportsmanship = The New England Patriots

One side note. I think this camera taping thing is getting misinterpreted. That guy was taping the defensive coach for the Jets so that Belichick could wack off to it when he gets back to the office. That's how Bill gets off, much like James Spader in Sex, Lies, and Videotape. As soon as Bill sees them call for a Cover 2...money shot!

See you next week!

16-13 = Score of Packers/Eagles = Score of Redskins/Dolphins = The score of every shitty SEC game I can remember

The dump you take after eating Taco Bell + a human form = Joey Harrington

The dump you take after eating Taco Bell + a human form - any shred of talent = Rex Grossman

Rivers throwing passes + Grossman throwing passes + LT throwing passes = Little doubt who the best QB in this group is

Notre Dame's offense + Michigan's defense = The 2007 Kansas City Chiefs

Introduction

Back when I worked for a big corporation, I used to send out some math problems dealing with the NFL season for my co-workers to enjoy. I called this little weekly email NFL Math. So now I have decided to bring this little feature to the masses. Let me lay down a few ground rules so that you guys (and gals) know how this works.

- I will try to have at least 1 equation about every team in the NFL every week...unless the team is as shitty as the Raiders or as boring as the Bucs were last year and then they get bumped for more interesting fodder.

- I am a huge Colts fan. HUGE! I want to kill when they lose, and I feel a vague sense of relief when they win. They will be mentioned every week. I call em like I see em with the team, but I am a homer and will praise them without regard to fairness. If reading nice sentiments about the Colts bothers you, go read Bill Simmons!

- I hate the Patriots, but I do realize they are a great organization and Brady, while being a full fledged cunt, is still one of the best QBs ever. That being said, bad things will be said about the Patriots throughout the season. If you don't like the Patriots being trashed as callow, poor spirited assholes, go read Bill Simmons!

- There are 3 other teams that will get at least 2 equations throughout the season because NFL math started for their fans, and they would be the Cowboys, Broncos, and Vikings. I know, the Cowboys are the Yankees of football. Everyone talks about them, but I have to in fairness to Jim and his constant optimism that this will be the first year in the last ten where the Cowboys were relevant again. For Mike I have to talk about the Broncos and that weird lazy eyed ego manic called Mike Shanahan. For years I hated the Broncos for having the biggest cunt in the league as their QB (Jake Plummer), since he retired...I still hate ego Mike! Fuck him in the ear! Fuck him in the other ear!!! And the Vikings, well, they are just...sorry to put you through that but Jack still sticks with them like a hundred dollar bill sticks to a stripper's ass when you make it rain on a boat in the middle of a scum filled Minnesota lake.

- This is done on my free time, so don't give me shit about spelling and grammer

- As the weeks progress, it will get funnier I promise

- Most equations involve addition and subtraction, and every now and then multiplication or division. If you want smarter NFL insight, read TMQ

- Here are the NFL's most worthless writers in alphabetical order:
King, Peter

- Brett Favre sucks

- Brett Favre really really really sucks

- Fantasy Football is ruining your life, stop playing and don't expect me to talk about a player ruining my season cause he didn't catch 12 passes for 200 yards with 4 TDs against the Bills like I thought he would. If you want to hear these bullshit stories, read Bill Simmons!

- Other topics will occasionally come in

- If you read this blog, please share it with other football fans

Thanks and let's have another great season...where the Colts win the Superbowl again and the Cowboys continue to suck on my balls!

Pre Game Math

Manning + Addai + Titans, Texans, and Jaguars = AFC South title for Colts by Dec 1

Colts D - a lot of players - a defensive player taken by the Colts before the 3rd round = Me crying in January cause we can't stop Urkel from getting 5 yards a carry

Dre Bly + Champ Bailey = Lots of passes thrown to tight ends by the Bronco's opponents

Inexperienced Cutler + Broncos crappy WRs = Lots of passes thrown to tight ends by the Broncos

Cowboys - Parcells + Phillips = A great coach with a shitty attitude being replaced by a shitty coach with a great attitude!

DWare + Wade Phillips schemes + a few illegal supplements = NFC's Shawn Merriman

Vikings + Peterson + Taylor + Moore = Wait, did our QB even attempt a pass in the 1st 3 weeks of the season?

Vikings + QB situation + fans = Let me get this straight, is our QB named Tito Jackson?

Texans + Schaub - Carr = Same shit, different QB

David Carr + Panthers + Jake Delhomme's inconsistentcy - the Shitty offensive line in Houston = Guarentee that David Carr has a better year than his namesake Lloyd Carr

Falcons - Vick + Harrington = 1st pick in NFL Draft 2008 (Brian Brohm)

Falcons + Brohm = FUCK YOU PETRINO YOU LYING BASTARD ASSHOLE!!!!!

Dogs - life + electricution + rape stand = Mike Vick learning what it is like to be someone's bitch

Steelers - Cowher + Tomlin = nothing cause Big Ben still sucks

Bengals + 88 days since last arrest = a new record

Browns + Brady Quinn + Joe Thomas = Irrelevant. The Browns will be as bad as Notre Dame is this year.

SF + Trendy pick to make the playoffs = a pissed off Seattle team that wants revenge and respect

Jets + Sopranos = Don Eric Mangini having Belichick whacked!

Rams + Lions + Dolphins + Bills + Titans + Raiders + Chiefs + Redskins = Not worth talking about

Ravens + McNair being a year older + D being a year older = I'm really not sure!

Packers - Green + another year of Favre being Farve = Retire you old selfish bastard!!!

Chucky + Shit year for Bucs again this year + 5 years since Superbowl win = You are fired Chucky!! And you did it all with a team that Dungy built you coattail riding little gross faced geek!!

Panthers + pick to win NFC + Delhomme = Why won't we ever learn? This team is a bigger cocktease than either of the Olsen twins before they became legal!

Giants - Tiki + Eli growing some balls = Nothing because Coughlin is still the biggest douchebag in the league!

Football + Madden on TV = a guarentee than 8 stupid things will be said on TV tonight and Sunday night

Eagles + Owners + Reid = 11 wins, just like every other year

Saints = NFC Champs

Chargers = Superbowl Champs

That's all for now, bitches. Enjoy the football tonight, Sunday, and Monday. I'll be back in the middle of next week for more (and much funnier) NFL Math.
