..
that's the kind of move I'm going to use to get out of going to Mass but the wife is not as easily faked out.; 12/24/11, 3:21 PM
traditionalguy said...: It makes sense that he would hop over the defender since the team Quarterback is a famous Frog.

Is he from Caleverous County?; 12/24/11, 3:28 PM

Well, if it is sweet baby Jesus's doing that a guy that has an IQ of 75 and high leaping ability and jackrabbit speed can make over a million a year....
Maybe sweet baby Jesus can do something about His buffoon dealing drugs out of his own house.

The old joke about the NFL?

What would be the impact of an NFL strike?
The crime rate would go up.; 12/24/11, 4:01 PM
DADvocate said...: Unbelievable! I wish he had done that last week when I was at the game. These guys are athletes.; 12/24/11, 4:38 PM
Penny said...: "The crime rate would go up."

Right before it goes down?

I learned that in physics. :); 12/24/11, 5:54 PM
Penny said...: The amazing thing is that it STUCK after all these years.; 12/24/11, 5:54 PM
Bob_R said...: Some guys will really go out of their way not to get hit.; 12/24/11, 6:11 PM
Craig said...: Does he run with the Hurd?; 12/24/11, 6:42 PM
Penny said...: So tell me why someone wants to hang out with good folks who don't mind getting 'hit'?

I HATE getting hit.

Don't you?; 12/24/11, 7:23 PM
Penny said...: Anyone care to take a SHOT at the meaning of "getting hit"?

No?

Oh, go ahead! Take a STAB at it!; 12/24/11, 7:31 PM
Penny said...: There is good reason that we 'talk'.

Politely, or not.; 12/24/11, 7:39 PM
bagoh20 said...: Sounds like the eggnog is righteous and strong this year.; 12/24/11, 7:53 PM
jacksonjay said...: Amazing, remarkable, unbelievable, etc..., BUT are defenders throwing blocks at ball carriers instead of tackling them. Seems to me that the defenders are afraid or reluctant to TACKLE.

While I'm on the subject, how many tackles are missed because defenders are focused on trying to strip the ball instead of tackle the runner.

While I'm on the subject, if a player wants to lead cheers, he should get a short skirt, pom-poms and move over to the sidelines. Focus on the damn game and leave the cheerleading to the pretty GIRLS!; 12/24/11, 8:19 PM
Mark said...: Can't say I care for his lack of ball protection, but he did stick the landing. I give it a 9.0 (ball protection is important, after all).; 12/24/11, 8:51 PM
Penny said...: Landing on your feet is highly overrated.; 12/24/11, 9:08 PM
Penny said...: Watch and wonder!; 12/24/11, 9:09 PM
traditionalguy said...: We ate dinner at the son's and caught up on TCU football.

No more having to go 11 and 0 for TCU (a 6700 student private school) to get into major bowl games and torment the major schools conference winners.

They paid 5 million to cancel their Big East membership and slide right into a Big Twelve membership where their TV revenue jumped from one million a year to twenty million a year.

In the past Texas refused to play TCU, but now they have asked to make TCU into Texas' traditional opponent on the Thanksgiving game replacing Texas A&M.

Texas Tech wanted that game, but the Horned Frogs got it. Poor Texas will have to learn the hard way.

That was a lot of good results in one year from stopping Wisconsin's desperation two point conversion with 2 minutes to go and preserving last year's Rose Bowl victory.; 12/24/11, 10:01 PM
Penny said...: Damn, that didn't work?; 12/24/11, 10:02 PM
Penny said...: CLUELESS!; 12/24/11, 10:03 PM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: A Titus Bait?

Penny said...: Lem?

Need to catch you early, and as often as I can.; 12/24/11, 11:31 PM
Penny said...: As for Titus?

OMG I am stuck in his chit!

HOPE me!

PLEASE homey!

Git me outta this woohoo doo doo!; 12/24/11, 11:38 PM
bagoh20 said...: "Focus on the damn game and leave the cheerleading to the pretty GIRLS!"

This is closed-minded. There are old fat guys who could be exceptional cheer leaders if given a chance...a chance to live a dream...a chance to do what they were born to do - to inspire, to lift us, and yes even to excite us.

Santa, all I want this year is the same thing I've been asking for for 40 years: Pom Poms, a little opportunity and respect.

The cookies and scotch are ready as always, kind sir.; 12/25/11, 12:38 AM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: That move reminds me of hall-of-famer Ozzy Smith aka the Wizard.

.. also visions of cowboys getting thrown off a horse or a bull in competition.

(Honestly I'm just trying to segway into a favorite country music set I want to do); 12/25/11, 12:40 AM
Scott M said...: This is what happens when you a)take your eyes off the guy you're going to hit and b) don't tackle with your shoulders AND arms.

It was a horrible attempted tackle, the likes of which are all too common with DB's nowadays.

Why, in my day, we tackled with both arma AND legs, going uphill in a snowstorm, both ways. And if you try and tell that to a youngster today, why...they won't even believe you.; 12/25/11, 12:43 AM
Penny said...: OK, someone needs a hug, and me and Ann are here to WILLYfulla oblige.; 12/25/11, 12:58 AM
Penny said...: "they won't even believe you."

Happy to be think otherwise.

Give me a reason to believe to believe?; 12/25/11, 1:05 AM
Penny said...: lol Wow!

Someone is singing for me!

Gonna trust you with that.; 12/25/11, 1:07 AM
