Football Night in America Live Blog Week 3 (9/27)
Okay, Keith and Dan are here, so let's get started.
Jaguars 31, Texans 24: The soon to be Los Angeles Jaguars won over a team dressed like Santa Claus because every day is Christmas.
Jets 24, Titans 17: Or, given the uniforms worn today Titans of New York 24, Oilers 17.
Packers 36, Lambs 17: The Rams are 0-3, easily the worst team in the NFL.
Ravens 34, Browns 3: Eric Mankini looked like a UPS delivery man.
Giants 24, Bucs 0: The Giants won on the first day since 1984 where the Giants and Jets played at the same time due to Woody Johnson's request to move Titans-Jets to 1 PM for Yom Kippur,
Lions 19, Redskins 14: Does Redskin owner Dan Snyder have Joe Gibbs' phone number on speed dial?
Patriots 26, Falcons 10: "Holy Don Pardo's Pants, Batman!" Olbermann jokes about Tom Brady's forthcoming birth of a child with Giselle Bunchen.
Eagles 34, Chiefs 14: The boycott of yours truly on the Eagles continues on a certain dog fighting gambling magnate making his return.
Vikings 27, 49ers 24: This Favre guy's pretty good, and led the Vikings to the win thanks to Greg Lewis's catch. Next week, The Judas meets The Packers. Let the hype begin.
Broncos 23, Raiders 3: How many feuds are the Raiders in with the media? Denver made them look bad. Then again, everyone looks good against the Raiders.

Number 4: One year ago, the faux pas that is the Good Oldgirlsandboys Party on that health care stuff, now the need for new troops in Afghanistan, as Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) complained. Jonathon Alter, any idea?
Oddball: Who did McCain be replaced by? Olbermann. In Nottingham, england, roll down a ball on a hill. Or drive a tank. in India, an elephant attacked three cars. Cash for Clunkers not available.
Number 3: Michael Moore's here to plug his new film, Capitalism: A Love Story.
Number 2 (Worst Person in the World)
Silver - Chuck Norris wants to take down your 50-star flag and replace it with a tea bag-stained Old Glory. Bob Barker would dissaprove, and needs to spay and neuter Norris' mind.
Gold - Prof. Harold Hill wants to legalize slavery. The book title is ideal for him: Arguing with Idiots.
Number 1: Tina Fey's Evil Twin Sister went to Hong Kong and spoke about death panels to the youth in Asia. Sorry, no music by The Grateful Dead. Craig Crawford, please straighten her out...
See you on Sunday for FNiA.

Football Night in America Live Blog Week 2 (9/20): Live From JerryWorld
Okay, Keith and Dan, take it away, please!
Raiders 13, Chiefs 10: This once great rivalry was reduced to a Kanye West rant where he took the football away.
Texans 34, Titans 31: The old Houston team lost to the new Houston team. Chris Johnson had 284 yards total offense but still lost.
Redskins 9, Rams 7: Bore fest indeed. The unneccessary use of violence against goalposts has been approved.
Bengals 31, Packers 24: Chad Johnson said he would leap into Lambeau's stands. He did.
Cardinals 31, Jaguars 17: Only two point one percent of the country saw this game. All of it was in Arizona.
Vikings 27, Lying Downs 13: Nineteen straight losses for the Jim Rome is Burninating Lying Downs. Eight more losses needed to surpass the 0-26 Creamsicle Buccos.
Saints 48, Eagles 22: It's deep and I think it's playable. The Beagles looked pathetic. Norm Snead will start next week.
Falcons 28, Panthers 20: To confuse Jake Delhomme even more from last week, the Falcons wore their 1966 throwback uniforms.
Jets 16, Pats 9: In the old days, Bob would have handled the highlights on this one. I'll bet Tiki would have had a field day on this one.
Bills 33, Bucs 20: Tampa's first visit to Buffalo was bad. And TO made it worse.
Ravens 31, Chargers 26: Phillip Rivers had 436 yards passing, but the Ravens' defense knocked the Chargers silly.
49ers 23, Seahawks 10: GORE! GORE! GORE! 225 yards and two TDs. Elizabeth Hasselbeck's brother-in-law had bruised ribs and the Seahawks lost.
Broncos 27, Browns 6: The Browns looked awful. Maybe it was the brown pants. You thought those were bad, wait 'til October 11 when the Broncos wear their 1960 throwbacks, er, throwups complete with Oompa Loompa socks.
Bears 17, Steelers 14: No Palamalu, no Urlacher. No offense, either. Robbie Gold wins it with 15 seconds left.
Enjoy the Giants and the Cowboys and the history.
UPDATE: In front of 105,131 people, Lawrence Tynes' walkoff field goal gave the Giants a 33-31 win over the Cowboys at Jerry's Ediface Complex.

And Jim Rome Is Burning Is No Star Wars Fan
The Los Angeles Dodgers will pay tribute to George Lucas' "galaxy far, far away" with a special STAR WARS(R) Night on Saturday, Oct. 3. Fans will have the opportunity to sit in a special My Town section - labeled DodgertownTM, Star Wars: The Clone WarsTM - and receive a free T-shirt featuring Jedi Master Yoda. In addition, the themed evening will feature pre-game ceremonies, photo opportunities, and in-game elements including STAR WARS characters, trivia, clips, music, and more. The event will take place prior to and during the Dodgers' 7:10 p.m. game with the National League West rival Colorado Rockies.
The STAR WARS festivities will start before the game with appearances by STAR WARS and Star Wars: The Clone Wars characters in Autograph Alley. The pre-game on-field ceremonies will include these characters, one of whom will also throw a ceremonial first pitch.
Dodgertown, Star Wars: The Clone Wars will be located in the Lower Reserve sections 56 and 60. All fans sitting in this section will receive the free T-shirt and enjoy unlimited ballpark favorites such as Dodger dogs, nachos, peanuts, popcorn, and soft drinks, as well as a STAR WARS themed menu including Cloneburgers with cheese, R2-BBQ pulled pork sandwiches, and Ice Sabers (popsicles). Group tickets for the section are $35 and individual seats are $45. Full details can be found at www.dodgers.com/starwars.
Fans are encouraged to dress in their own STAR WARS costumes and for this special night only, are permitted to wear STAR WARS masks only in the My Town section. No Lightsabers will be allowed inside Dodger Stadium.
Throughout the game, Star Wars: The Clone Wars video clips will be shown on DodgerVision and lucky fans will receive Star Wars: The Clone Wars gift packs. STAR WARS and Clone Wars characters will visit sections throughout the stadium and there will be STAR WARS themed music and trivia all game long.
The Dodgers regularly feature two STAR WARS themes during their home games. Set to the iconic STAR WARS main title theme, a video of Kirk Gibson's dramatic home run in Game 1 of the 1988 World Series is often played to spark a ninth inning rally. In addition, the "Imperial March" is sometimes played underneath the public address announcer whenever an opposing teams' lineup is introduced. Both themes were composed by Academy Award winner and noted baseball enthusiast John Williams.
Dodger pitcher Randy Wolf, an avid STAR WARS fan, has a life-sized Stormtrooper in his Hollywood home.
And Jim Rome is Burning hates it. He believes that it is so 1977. And ranted about it in his fianl burn on his ESPN show. Can I introduce you to Chris Evert?
Looking for the 76ers OTA? Forget About It
Saturday night conflicts between the Flyers and 76ers will have road games or earlier starts on WPHL-TV. And that is because the Sixers will go all cable all the time in 2009-10. That means 71 games on CSN Philly, ten on
Jason Whitlock is a Racist Fucktard
Don't call this the race card. It's the star card. I'll be very interested to see how the NFL responds to Donovan McNabb's season-opening injury in comparison to Tom Brady's a year ago.
The rulebook was basically re-written after Bernard Pollard hit Brady in the knee and ended Brady's 2008 season. Now you can't hit a quarterback below the knees, especially if you've been blocked to the ground.
Hmm. So McNabb scores a touchdown last Sunday and two Panthers linemen jump on him in the end zone for no reason, cracking one of McNabb's ribs.
Will we see a rules change?
Last year there was even a discussion about fining Pollard after his legal and ethical hit on Brady. The hit on McNabb was unethical and borderline illegal, but I don't hear any discussion about fining anyone.
Bullshit. It is about race. Tom Brady is white, Whitlock's boy, Donovan F. McNabb is black. There should have been a fifteen yard late hit penalty thrown by Jeff Triplette - yes, the same Jeff Triplette that was attacked by an angry Cleveland Browns player a decade ago. And Whitlock's a black guy.

Number 5: Earth-Shattering Breaking News - Jimmy Carter denounces racism, which he believes still exists, saying they believe black people are not fit to run the country, and dubs it "an abominable circumstance". Lawrence O'Donnell, what says you? DailyKos.com founder Marcos Moulitsas also joins us, and Billo's talking about ACORN.
Meanwhile, Rep Joe The Heckler Wilson (R-SC) was given a wrist slap by his fellow congress members in a party-line vote.
Number 4: Insurance companies are cancelling your premiums and rejecting new ones, especially women (also known as "recission") that would be legal under a Senate proposal. And as usual, the Good Oldboysandgirls Party are against it. Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) joins us to tell all.
We have a recap on Jimmy Carter's racism comments.
Best Persons: 3 - Bob McDonnell running for the Commonwealth of Virginia governorship drops the F-Bomb. 2 - Guess who has sent a letter to criticized Caesar Chavez, speaking from the great beyond.. 1 - Prof. Harold Hill's logo for three red fists on a logo simular to a communist party with a tip o' the cap to Christopher Knight of the Los Angeles Times.
Musical Segue: Go Go White Sox.
Number 3: And speaking of the good Professor, where exactly was he Saturday (9/12) for his rally in Washington? Was he (and the others over at the
Number 2 (Worst Persons in the World)
Number 1: There's been an Adolph XLIII sighting! He said both Obama and Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) were unqualified to be in The White House, and called Miss Wasilla 1984 "the governor of Guam". Hey Adolph, you're off by a few thousand miles just like that "Iraqi War" on her governorship, but the rest of Emmy Award Winning Tina Fey's Evil Twin Sister's criticism...spot on! *Cue Joey Styles screaming "OHMYGOD!" please* Matt Lattimer's new book Speechless told all about it as it is ready to be printed. Craig Crawford, did Adolph XLIII call himself the man who redefined the GOP an asshole? Yup
And we'll see you tomorrow night!
