That's what you get for having a cat - doesn't matter if it's the right cat - as your avatar. You let your team down.

Proof that being an asshole and being a good football coach are NOT mutually exclusive. The 49ers owners/front office were stupid and petty for chasing Harbaugh away.
relegate the AFC South to Division I
Panthers almost gave me a heart attack several times last night. It was a great comeback by Indy. Aided by some bad calls by the refs, but what game doesn't have some borderline or outright wrong calls? Anyway, Panthers found that little extra to pull out the win.
And may I just say that Mike Tirico and Gruden really needed to stop repeating the same phrases. They wouldn't shut up about how Cam Newton is a big man and he can run the ball early on and then they wouldn't stop repeating that if Indy got the win, it'd be huge and just the turn around they'd need. Over and over and over.

Reminds me of the guy on the B (or is it C?) crew on Baseball Tonight. Kept using "on the bump" referring to the pitcher over and over and over and over again. Find another cliche, dude.
Another week, another nail-biting finish for the Panthers. We can't keep doing this. Need to put teams away or we are going to start losing games instead of pulling out a win.

Looking at the rest of your schedule, I think you need to just relax and enjoy the fun team they're putting in the field. You guys lost your best receiver before the season started and your best running back is your quarterback. And you're undefeated. Have fun. Football is fun. And I'm saying this as a lions fan.
Yeah, still have to play Atlanta twice, but they just lost to the Titans of all people. It's hard for me to relax watching the Panthers because I have been a fan of theirs since the beginning and I remember all those seasons when we did really well at the start and then tanked the second half. I know, new coach, new players, and all that, but it still nags at me.
Don't get me wrong, I think daily fantasy is very much gambling (in the same way as horse racing), but I find it very interesting that the two states with the biggest problems with it are Nevada and NY, with it's rather large horse racing interest. At least Nevada was honest about how they just want licensing money from them.
Oh no doubt, but according to the State Attorney General in the article DA linked it's not. It's about protecting the community for the dangers and horrors of gambling. (and keeping Lottery revenue up no doubt)

I just like how my governor tried a free round one weekend and decided it was a game of skill and not gambling.
Rex Ryan makes it hard for me to cheer for the Bills . . . and yet the playoffs are actually in reach.

Fucking, really??
I am a Panthers fan and I loved the win today, but did not like seeing Romo go down again. Sad to see him go out like that after just getting back.
I recall a doctor commenting on ESPN about how long Romo would be out the first time, and how often previous patients of his would re-break their clavicles if they came back before about 8 weeks.
