NFL Football Thread - Are You Ready For Some Wild Cards????

The NFL playoffs have begun and that means one thing - College basketball is king and the countdown to Spring Training can begin! Erm, I mean, there will be great football on today. Yeah, that's the ticket.
Anywho, today's Titanic Struggles are as follows:
Bengals @ Texans, 4:30 PM, NBC - The Bengals look for their first playoff win since the first Bush was president. The last time the Bengals won a playoff game, their opponent? You guessed it, Houston. My Prediction - Bengals 24, Texans 10. This game would be completely different if Houston had a decent QB. I'm really happy for Andre Johnson though.
Lions @ Saints, 8:30 PM, NBC - I have a feeling this game's going to get ugly. My Prediction - Saints 41, Lions 14.
As is the case with these types of threads, if yoou don't want to talk football that's cool too. College basketball is in full swing, with UK hosting South Carolina at 4:00, Ohio State at Iowa at 3:00, Notre Dame visiting Louisville at 4:00, and #18 Murray State visiting Austin Peay tonight at 8:00 on ESPNU. I'm curious to see Murray St. play, there's talk of them going undefeated through the regular season.
So what are your predictions for today's games? What did you want to be when you grew up? Do you have any Grey Poupon?

Yeah, either I misread NFL.com or their info was wrong when I wrote this. Fixed now though.

I am ready for some footing-ball
and, yeah, giant game is tomorrow and both of today’s games are on NBC.
My predictions...
Bengals: 24
Texans: 20
Saints: 38
Lions: 28
Shits I give: 0
Bring on base ball.
I don’t really remember what I wanted to be growing up.
I do not have any Grey Poupon.
I’m so bored.
Bengals 28
Texans 16
AJ has two TDs, and Cedric holds onto the ball
Saints 38
Lions 31
Brees is his normal self
Fuck Murray Chass
But what of the Grey Poupon?!
I kind of want to change my prediction for the first game. Someone needs to give the Texans some love.
I don't think I've ever had Grey Poupon
I wanted to be a cop for awhile when I was younger, but I’m majoring in GIS right now.

Texans 14, Bengals 13

i'm sticking with cowher
because he’s the best coach they can get & the colts are the best team he can coach.
also, they don’t have a gm, so they can give him all the power he wants
No on Cowher
Although it’s slightly more realistic now that the Polians aren’t in charge

Wow, so Iowa plays in a basketball-type game today?
I didn’t follow college basketball when I was IN college. Bring on the football!
I predict a close first game that Houston eeks out a win, and a Saints blowout of the Lions.
darthmom: It's like sabremetrics, but for boobs.
Bengals 24
Texans 23
Lions 50
Saints 49
Bengals win on a missed XP, Lions win on a two point conversion with no time left on the clock.
I realize this probably won’t happen, but I can’t pick against my two teams.

I guess I'll root for the Bengals
They’re close enough to where I grew up and I still have love for Munoz and Boomer.
And I’d really like to see the Lions beat the Saints. I love what they’re putting together in Detroit. That, and I just can’t stand the Saints. I’ve never liked Brees and I can’t stand Gregg Williams. And they beat the Colts in the SB – that’s more than enough for me to root against them.

Jake Delhomme didn't look that bad last week, for what small part of the game I saw.
I hope he looks bad this week.
They are words that rhyme with "Yates," used in movie titles or dialogue
The first one is from the movie “Enemy at the Gates,” starring a favorite of yours, Ed Harris. The second is from “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” when someone tries to poison Dr. Jones. The scheme is discovered when the Nazi monkey eats one of the poisoned dates, and Indy’s friend Sallah says, “Bad dates.”
And now they’re funny!
And for some reason I thought this was 'tHan
So I dunno if Ed Harris is a favorite actor of yours or not, but ’tHan likes ’im.

When I was a kid there was one weekend..
..when I must have discovered the joys of rollerskating at a roller rink within hours of my mom throwing down a make-your-own-taco spread for dinner. And for about the next two weeks certain that some dastardly grown-up was going to steal my idea to open the first ever roller rink/ taco bar before I had a chance to do it myself.
I drew up some plans on graph paper and everything.

I'm not in the know re:NFL... Are the Texans not capable of scoring a lot of points?
I know that the Bengals’ D is playoff-worthy but I sense an ass-kicking coming on.
How about you agree to waive the fine and I promise not to email you the remaining eighty six photos of my dog dressed as a bear.
high scoring isn't in the TX gameplan
without schaub, they are having to rely on grinding it out with their premier backs, hence a shorter game, hence, not as many points. bengals/texans match up well in this aspect as the bengals have a pretty shitty secondary, but focus on stopping the run. just have to keep daniels in check and not give up any big plays this afternoon.

If they re-sign Simpson, they won't need to spend a high pick on one
Hawkins is a nice slot receiver and if Shipley comes back, they may be ok
simpson just isn't very good
hawkins is too small to depend on, though he has been a pleasant surprise.
shipley is an ok 3rd receiver
Vincent Jackson will be a free agent
There’s not much of a chance they’ll sign him, but he would be a great pickup

He's been alright in his first full season.
Simpson is still a work in process and his first two seasons were stunted by being inactive/Bratkowski, but there’s no reason why he can’t become a #2 receiver
I don't know why they won't try Hawkins
Maybe he hasn’t been good in practice, but it seems like he could be great in that role

If they bring back Jones next season, he could do it.
They removed him from punt return duties once they became decimated with injuries in the secondary. No reason to risk another injury with Jones.

Especially since I was predicting 0 wins for this season. This whole year has been a lot of fun and pleasant surprise.

Ryan Braun, 'roids, and herpes
Curiouser and curiouser. MLB.com didn’t mention the word herpes, but they did report that Braun admitted to taking the medication that caused the positive test result for a “private medical condition.”
But…even if he was prescribed testosterone because of herpes, it won’t get him off the hook. He either has to prove the test was wrong, or prove that the Brewers approved the drug. Sounds like the test wasn’t wrong – he admitted to taking whatever it was that caused the positive result – and the Brewers did not sign off on it.
And curiously, anabolic steroids are not a treatment for herpes. The drugs used for herpes don’t increase testosterone. This doctor says that the opposite is true: herpes treatment lowers testosterone. He speculates that Braun’s doctor may have given him synthetic testosterone to offset that drop. If so, it was very irresponsible – on the doctor’s part and on Braun’s.
Still, it does seem like Braun, unlike Clemens, Bonds, Pettitte, etc., wasn’t really trying to cheat. If this herpes story is true, anyway.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
That's kinda shitty, though
He obviously should have cleared it with the league, but I’m gonna take a guess that he wasn’t thinking about the league policy when he found out he had herpes
Fuck Murray Chass
unlike true love
Herpes is forever. He was being treated for herpes (supposedly). That doesn’t mean he just found out about it. Herpes symptoms recur periodically, so he could have known about it for years.
The more I think about it, the more it doesn’t make sense. You need to have four times the normal levels before the test result is considered positive. His people said his results were unlike anything seen before. Which I would surmise means they were way higher than four times normal. What doctor would prescribe that much? The drop in testosterone supposedly caused by acyclovir is so small that it may not even be real.
If this whole herpes thing is even true…I’m wondering if Braun saw it as the perfect cover for ’roiding.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
It makes you wonder
I would think that the players would be very cautious to have any meds signed off on by their team. And yeah, having a sexual transmitted disease would be embarrassing but if Braun uses that as an excuse for not wanting to inform the team of what meds he’s taking — I’m not buying it.
I don't know why my kids call me that. I think I'm a pretty nice mom.
Is the prescription for synthetic testosterone
to compensate for a drop in levels due to acyclovir all just one big rumor? How on earth would anyone know if Braun has herpes?
"Good luck, National League managers – I have no idea how you’re supposed to get this guy out." - Dave Cameron on Joey Votto
one of those celebrity gossip sites
reported it. It supposedly came from two people who work for the Brewers.
MLB.com reported that Braun admitted to taking it for a “private medical condition.” Everyone’s assuming it’s herpes. Partly because of the rumors, partly because they figure it has to be something embarrassing, or they’d say what it is, not call it a “private medical condition.”

And it’s not like testosterone is an approved treatment for herpes. It’s an off-label use at best. I can’t believe the doctor wouldn’t tell him what he was prescribing, and that the alarm bells wouldn’t go off for Braun at the idea of taking synthetic testosterone for any reason.
Also, I can’t believe it’s that embarrassing for a baseball player to have an STD. The way they sleep around, it must be pretty common.

I'm sure it'd be pretty embarrassing

The question was why he didn’t discuss it with the team medical staff.

Even if there was a reason he was prescribed ‘roids…he has to know there some things he can’t take without clearing it with MLB. There’s a list posted on the clubhouse wall. There’s a hotline that players can call if they’re not sure. There’s a procedure to follow if you really do need a drug on the banned list.

There's an 'urban' park near me that is rarely/never used in the cooler months of the year.
I take my dog there when it’s empty so that I can let him run off-leash without bothering anyone. A few weeks ago some kids were there and I was chatting up one of the two who hat nice new crisp clean Reds hats on. I figured that they weren’t necessarily fans of the team and I wanted to know what fashion statement they were making with their choice in headgear. (I’ve been told in the past that it’s not likely a gang thing because Bloods wear red but the Reds hat has a ‘C’ and supposedly no Blood would sport a ‘C’ because that might be construed as support for the Bloods’ main rival… But I’ve also been told that there aren’t Crips north or east of St Louis so that ‘rule’ doesn’t apply in the Midwest and East Coast..so who knows.)
Anyway, the kid told me that Reds hats have been really popular for about a year now since LIl Wayne wore one several times right after he got out of jail last year. Evidently LIl Wayne is usually affiliated with the Bloods even though he’s not a member (I have no idea how this works.. So you have gangs that you cheer for?) This kid I was talking to said it could be that at the time he was showing support for the Bloods who may have supported/protected him while he was in jail.
So when you see someone wearing a Reds hat it could be that they:
A] really like the Reds
B] are a member of the Bloods
C] are not a member of the Bloods but are fans of their work(?)
D] really like Lil Wayne or at least his style
E] really like the way it goes with their red or red-trimmed outfit
The kid told me that if it’s someone over the age of 25 it’s probably just ‘E.’
And I told him that it could also be ‘A.’
He didn’t say much to that which gave me the impression that he seemed to think that was not at all possible. So I didn’t bother asking him to start reading Red Reporter.

Ok, to get back to my original post
is it rude to just a girl if she is seeing someone?
I’ve known this girl for a few months (we worked together for awhile). She was in the midst of a 3 and half year relationship. Recently (past month) she has posted a number of negative statuses/blog posts alluding to relationship issues. She had a blog post two weeks ago about running into her (ex?) boyfriend and how uncomfortable it made her feel. So I immediately thought, “Here’s my chance! I’ll ask her on a date next time I see her.” I saw her last night but earlier this week she went skiing with a group of people that included her (ex?) boyfriend. Her lead photo on her blog was a picture of the two of them with his arm around her. WTF, right?
After we left the bar last night, she drunkenly texted a bunch of crap that either means a) she does like me or b) I’m in the friend zone (somewhat ambiguous). I’m fucking lost

she's undecided
One month is not enough time to recover from a 3-1/2 year relationship. If it’s really over, she’s still on the rebound. And it might not be over – they could get back together.
Don’t put too much weight on things she said when she was drunk. Men and women have that in common – they say things they don’t mean when they’re drunk.
In general, women take a lot longer to make up their minds about relationships than men. Men think women are leading them on, and sometimes that’s true, but mostly, we’re genuinely undecided. Interviews with married couples have shown that the man generally knew this was the woman for him by the fourth date. The woman usually isn’t sure even after sixth months of dating.
My guess is that she’s not sure if she likes you “that way,” and she’s not sure it’s over the with “ex.”

I probably should have just asked her today at lunch.
We went out, just the two of us, for an hour and a half or so. I should have just slipped it in. Oh well. At least I didn’t mention anything about Friday night during lunch.

She may have been hoping for you to mention something about Friday night.
I don't know why my kids call me that. I think I'm a pretty nice mom.
Now you're just messing with him, that's not nice :)
"Wait, you think I'm being mean to the pretend orangutan?" -- battlekow
I know! But it's not on purpose
My first thought when he said " At least I didn’t mention anything about Friday," was she’s probably thinking, "Why isn’t he mentioning anything about all those texts I sent him! He doesn’t like me :( "
Think about it. If someone is your friend and they drunk text you, you absolutely will talk about the next time you see them! So if a girl “drunk” texts you (drunk texts are often calculated even if you’re drunk because this is the thought process: Sober: I want this guy to know I like him but there is no way I’m putting myself out there. Drunk: I want this guy to know I like him but there is no way…. fuck it — I’m just going to text him right now!) and you ignore her drunk texts especially if she seemed to making a point in the texts about how she feels about you, she’s going to think that you think she likes you and you ignored the texts because you only want to be friends.
I don't know why my kids call me that. I think I'm a pretty nice mom.
This is exactly what I meant by my original comment
Bubba and yourself are coming at this issue from completely opposite angles

Dude....
despite her relationship issues, if she was truly into you, you’d know it. I my experience there is no ambiguity, if they really, truly want you, they don’t fuck with you. They jump you.

See, I have had the feeling she really liked me for at least a few months now.
Other people that have been around us have said the same thing, but I don’t want to waste my chance when the answer is going to be, “No, I’m dating another person.”

Although it seems difficult, you have to be direct.
Ask. Look, is this happening? Do I need to be wary of the -ex? What is the situation? If you get more bullshit back, cut your losses. It isn’t going to get better, or easier. Let some other dude help her grow up.

'Course
I don’t know her or the history there. I can’t read her facial expressions, but even if you are the rebound guy, that shit aint easy. You spend half your time either indirectly hearing about the -ex or worrying about him yourself. As she sorts out what she wants, your stomach stays in knots because of the beautiful agony of the impossible love sitting right next to you. In the end, rebound guy very, very rarely is the guy. Just some guy.

All the people I would normally ask
a) Have told me they have no fucking idea what to do
b) are way too busy right now to bother with this stuff
I talked to my sister about this and she had no idea what to do. My mother and sister are unbelievably direct and blunt. Neither of them play games with men and would both just tell someone exactly what they’re feeling when it comes to a friendship of any kind. However, very few women are like this so after years of being told exactly what one’s feelings are now I have to try discern intent from minutiae.

Ah, well there's your problem
You’re 22, you’re waaaaaaaaay overthinking this. I’m not trying to insult you at all, but you’ll look back in five or fewer years and laugh about putting so much thought into it no matter how it turns out.
At the end of the day we’re all a little arrogant, a little self-conscious, and a little scared of putting our ass on the line for fear of embarrassment. Just ask her if she wants to go on a date, work up enough gumption to make a move, and you’ll have your answer on whether she likes you or not.
Maybe. :)

what jch said
don’t overclub it
get some swagger, have it show as confidence, and if this current situation doesn’t pan out how you want it chances are she’ll remember how you handled yourself during it should things change into your favor down the road
assuming you stay in the friend zone periphery and will have contact with her as she grows up

I get asked out at my gym constantly. I’m not offended if someone asked if I’m seeing anyone-how else do you find out?

if you’re not ringed up (and some women take those off at the gym), how are men supposed to know if they don’t ask?

"they say things they don't mean when they're drunk"
OR we say EXACTLY what we mean when we’re drunk. That tends to be my experience. Her “drunken texts” may have been her way to tell you she likes you with an easy out if you didn’t feel the same way. She could be just as confused about your feelings as you are about hers. I agree with Bubba that she can’t possibly be “over” a 3 1/2 year relationship in a month but that doesn’t mean she wants to get back with him. It’s just that you can’t resolve all your feelings, good, bad, or whatever, that quickly. FWIW, the way a girl thinks when she is trying to figure out if a guy likes her for more than a friend is 1) Is he paying attention to me? Does he pay more attention to me than the other girls around? 2) Is he interested in what I’m saying? Is he interested in my thoughts and feelings about stuff? Is he interested in the things that are going on in my life? Basically, if you like her, make sure you ACT LIKE YOU LIKE HER! The bottom line is at some point you WILL have to make the first move — you’ll have to tell her you like her for more than a friend or you will have to kiss her, etc. Do you risk rejection? Yes, but ultimately, you have to man up! Here is a not so secret secret : WOMEN WANT TO BE PURSUED BY MEN! There are some women who do lead men on simply because it feels good to be wanted, but most women do not purposely lead men on — they are waiting for you to pursue them! The flirting etc. is an attempt to encourage you to pursue us. And by the way, if you want your relationship to be successful, never stop pursuing your girl, even if your married (maybe especially if your married!). And tell her she’s beautiful every single day. There is no woman in the world that can hear “your beautiful” too much.
I don't know why my kids call me that. I think I'm a pretty nice mom.

Really?
I am much more likely to tell the truth when I am drunk. I am incredibly honest because tact and responsibility goes out the window.
