2014 NFL SEASON

[konakathy]

Oh, yeah... it's that time of year again. The 2014 NFL opener starts next Thursday, September 4th with the 'World Champion Seattle Seahawks' vs. the moldy, cheesy Greenbay Packers.

Uh, huh! That's right ! Let the trash talk commence... I can't wait to watch the Thanksgiving Day game with the Seattle Seahawks vs. San Francisco 40whiners. Mr. Bowl, you might want to eat a lot of turkey that day, cuz
the Hawks are gonna put the Whiners to bed by the half and, well, you'll want excuse to go to bed early too, and cry yourself to sleep. :nuts::toung: Feel the love? ;)

All in good fun. Hey! Tom! Shouldn't that football pool be starting this week; since next week is the first game?

It's going to be a tough way to start the season for my Packers. Hopefully the refs don't give the game to the Seahags, again. Maybe the hags will man up and play one on the Frozen Tundra, some day. :P

[nasa1974]

Go Browns!!!

I was surprised how well the Packer's D played, and how poorly the O played.

The Hags look like they are going to be tough to beat.

[pamkk]

Are you sure you still want to play the Hawks on the "Frozen Tundra" again, Weenie?

[weatherweenie]

Sure, why not? The Hags are a different, but still a great, team away from Seattle, and on grass.

[burrocrat]

in about one and a half hours my steelers are going to start waxing the field with the browns. this is not going to be pretty.

[konakathy]

I'm remaining neutral on the teams today, so no trash talking from me. But since two teams were mentioned and they are rivals....here is a little equal opportunity trash talking. Steelers vs Browns

FLAG on the REF!!!!!!
A Ref Helped The Patriots Avoid A Penalty On The Jets' Game-Ending Blocked Field Goal — Here's Why:http://finance.yahoo.com/news/ref-helped-patriots-avoid-penalty-133404249.html

[maui21ice]

Been a crazy kinda NFL season so far with a buncha injuries to top players then of course the abuse situations with Peterson and Rice. Kind of a tough season to predict who's gonna end up on top in the end. I know a lot of people bank on Peyton Manning always riding his way to the Super Bowl, but New England's looking mighty decent this year after they got thumped by Kansas City.

Should be an interesting last 2 months.

[konakathy]

JUST. SAYIN'.

It's taking every fiber in my being to stay humble. The gloves will be off after we clinch the NFC Divison.

[burrocrat]

kk, i will lay you a bet. 1 ounce of tsptalk custom fine silver, worth about $20, that the seattle seahawks do not win the superbowl.

if you win i will arrrange delivery of the silky smooth metal to your door. since you chickened out on the tsptalk silver purchase, if you win i will accept in return a buffalo wild wings gift card as payment in full. some like it hot.

the offer is good until gametime at 3:05 pm et 01/18/15. take it or leave it.

p.s. i'm.sorry i accidentally put that ipod through the laundry with all those songs on it. it is a running joke in my family now whenever one of them comes on the radio... 'hey, i used to have that song... on my ipod'. freakin' little smartass never forgets anything.

[weatherweenie]

Packers fan here. We have a shot, as does any team. We are going to have to play mistake free football, and focus on getting our running game going, considering we have a one legged qb.

GO PACK GO!

want to bet on that?

[weatherweenie]

want to bet on that?

Nope. Don't want to jinx my boys.

[burrocrat]

as konakathy does not seem ready to make a deal, are there any other seahawks fans out there that want to bet? i am offering 1 ounce of custom tsptalk silver (currently valued at $21.78) that seattle does not win the superbowl.

of course i think the seahawks are the likely favorite, i lived there for years and got my degree from uw. but in order for me to lose the bet seattle has to win twice. in order for me to win they just have to lose once. and i am a gambling man so let's put it on the line. if you lose and do not have tsptalk silver to pay up you can order from tom or else i'll accept an approximately equal value buffalo wild wings gift card.

[konakathy]

I'm not making any bets on today's game. I'm pissed with myself because I'm going to miss watching the game due to the fact I'll be sitting on a plane heading back to Kona. AAARG !!!!! 😁 Who made these reservations? Burro I'll make that bet wit cha when Super Bowl comes around. And I
am gonna break my no trash talk til Super Bowl promise....just because I won't be able to yell at the TV.

[konakathy]

32060

[konakathy]

Last one...starting to board. 32061

[burrocrat]

no deal then kk. seahawks are the hands down favorite in my book. the bet only works in my favor if they have to win 2 in a row. if seattle wins this week then i am not betting against them in the superbowl. unless some unforeseen event like wilson breaking his leg happens or something.

I hate the Seahawks but I'll take your stinking bet for 1oz Silver. And as a gesture of goodwill, I'll even shake on it. ;)

to confirm: if seahawks win superbowl i pay you, if seaclucks do not win superbowl you pay me. deal?

how are you going to pay me when they lose anways? you don't got no tsptalk silver.

[maui21ice]

Really not a fan of any of these teams, but I'm pulling for Luck and the Colts. He's had a heck of a year, so if they don't I think I'd root for Tom Brady to win 1 more. Haven't been a big Aaron Rodgers fan, so I think the Pack is who I'm rooting against the most.

A few less Richard Sherman commercials here and there wouldn't be too bad either... :/

[jpcavin]

deal?

Deal!

No coins yet but I will because I sweet-talked some silver tongued devil into sending me some over the internet. ;)

[burrocrat]

deal.

you must be one heck of a sweet talker, them silver tongued devils don't come cheap.

[jpcavin]

Go Bears!

i mean Seahawks.

Go Seahawks! ;)

[burrocrat]

ha ha! if russel wilson was a bitch he would be aaron rodger's!

[burrocrat]

just what kind of name is 'ha ha clinton dicks' anyway?

[burrocrat]

o. m. g. i would be less surprised with the outcome if i had wasted the afternoon watching professional wrestling.

[burrocrat]

nfl is the same as wall street! totally rigged!

[rktect1]

I stopped watching with five minutes to go. Heard yelling and went back to tv with 1:12 to go and the Seahawks were up 3

[jpcavin]

I thought I was witnessing a miracle. Then, BOOM! Overtime! Just like that. Ugh :sick:

[rktect1]

And there it is.

[burrocrat]

ha! crap. seahawks still need one more win before i lose the bet though. that performance does not cause me much concern.

[burrocrat]

i wish konakathy's plane would land soon so she can check her phone and come in here and gloat all over the place and get it done with already.

[jpcavin]

I thought I was witnessing a miracle. Then, BOOM! Overtime! Just like that. Ugh :sick:

Dang, I didn't even have a chance to finish complaining about overtime before the Seahawks swooped down and clenched it. :laugh:

[jpcavin]

32062

I know, I know. There's still another game to be played and won. :cool:

[konakathy]

F-ING A !!!! YES!

wait until I get off the plane...my gloating has just begun!!

[PessOptimist]

Ya know I am old and confused but am thinking that the Colts should be from Baltimore and the Ravens ought to be called the Browns and from Cleveland and the Cards ought to be in St Louis and the Rams LA. Don't get me started on MLB, NBA or NHL. So the team that should be in Cleveland lost to the team that possibly should be in Miami and now the team that should be in Baltimore is playing the team that should be called the Boston Patriots but plays in Foxboro and has to be called the New England Patriots to include the poor people to the north. The winner of this game will play the team that maybe should be in Miami at a stadium named after a virtual college with no athletic teams where the team that should be in St Louis plays.

Sis! I keep tellin' ya... quit hanging with the losers, but ya just won't listen ! 😂😂😂

[konakathy]

ha ha! if russel wilson was a bitch he would be aaron rodger's!

What a maroon!

[konakathy]

I'm going to give kudos to the Packers. They played a great game and gave the Seahawks a run for their money. I'm an empathetic person and feel for the fans, that was a heartbreak losing game and probably the worst loss in franchise history.

Cheers to the cheese heads , from a devoted 12th man.

[konakathy]

15 points in 44 seconds ?!!! Unbelievable !! This team is awesome!

being pleased with a scripted rigged win like that is sort of like laughing when a haarp thunderstorm comes out of nowhere and the lightning causes grandma's pacemaker to lock up so you can roll your wheelchair across the finish line at the special olympics marathon first. what a joke of a game.

i don't know what you think you saw on the telly yesterday honey, but that was not sport. maybe a drama or sit com or something.

[burrocrat]

hey kk, you want even money? i say the seahawks lose to the patriots in the superbowl. for one ounce of tsptalk silver vs. a buffalo wild wings gift card? put your money where your mouf is. take it or leave it.

[pamkk]

Kathy... Sounds like the grapes aren't quite ripe in the Mule's neighborhood.... GO HAWKS!!!!

same deal for you too honey. 1 for 1.

offer is good for anybody up to the first 23 takers because that is all the silver i have left after settling my old debts.

[konakathy]

Sorry, loser. I offered to make that bet with you yesterday and you chickened out. No deal.

Besides, I don't want to read about your little temper tantrums.....honey. :laugh:

Just to add fuel to the fire, FBN just reported the NFL has video of the Patriots equipment manager going into the bathroom at Gillette Stadium and deflating those "questionable" footballs...Hmmm!!! All the more reason I'll be rooting for the Seahawks for this one. They're going to give a whole new meaning to Brady using deflated balls!!!:rolleyes:

[WorkFE]

The funniest part is Kraft saying the league owes them an apology. I have read nothing, to this point, where the league has actually accused the Patriots of cheating. Looks like they are merely investigating whether something inappropriate occurred.
lots of speculation from the media but not the league.
