Down for an avatar bet, Grimm? I'm ready to wear something entirely predictable due to the amount of Steelers > Bengals images available. Plus whatever your creative mind can muster.

I actually think we have a decent chance of winning this game, but I can't get my hopes up against the Steelers. Plus Marvin Lewis always chokes in games like this.

Cowboys fan up for an avatar bet this weekend? FCFS.

I don't think the Giants nor the Bears are making the playoffs this year. Legit question: I'm not a bears fan but the whole world knows O line is their major, major weakness and to the best of my knowledge they've drafted like 1 O linemen that was supposed to make it better but it obviously isn't working. Why do they refuse to shore up the weak link that's ruined their playoff chances like 3 years in a row?

Absodutely. Might have to wait til Monday to get it from me though, whether I win or lose my fantasy championship Sunday I will likely end up hammered. That *could* lead to an amazing avatar though. I came up with Itlan's last one that way...

As for the Itlan/Araysar bet: If I remember it was loser can't post in the NFL threads until after the Super Bowl? Or was it until the 2013 NFL preseason thread? I dunno, if you can't be assed to hunt it down just agree on something here. I searched a bit and couldn't find anything definitive from FoH.

Super Bowl is fine.

NFL network talking about records that might be broken this year and failed to mention Witten is 5 receptions from the most receptions by a tight end in a single season ever, guess that record doesn't matter or isn't exciting. They sure as shit made big deals about most yards and TD's by a tight end last year. That are they figure since they will be facing the 31st ranked passing defense followed by the 30th ranked passing defense 5 receptions for Witten is a fucking lock.
I'm sure we'd hear more about it if it was a slightly older record and a little more iconic. Romo already targets Witten a ton and has been chucking the ball a ton this year (already more than he has in any other season)...although I do think it should get some attention since Megatron is benefiting from the same thing.

No one gives much of a shit about a position specific number like that. Fair or not, it's not THE catches record. I seriously had no idea he was racking up so many catches until a couple weeks ago browsing stats. Said to my fellow NFL dork brother "Jesus, did you realize Witten has 81 catches?" And he said "Nope."

And that kids, is how you weave a tale to keep people enthralled. Because no one gives a fuck about that "record". Any of you doing cartwheels at the idea of Larry Centers 101 catches?

It's the TE record? Yeah, sorry, I don't really give a shit about that.
Gonzalez's season was more impressive as well. Led the entire NFL as a TE in catches when he set the record in '04, was 7th in the entire NFL in receiving yards. More yards and TD's than Witten is on pace for this year too.

I spent way too long looking at playoff scenarios for the Vikings this morning. It's really frickin' complicated, but for anyone that cares, their best chance (assuming they win at least 1 of the next 2) is for Dallas to win this week against the Saints and lose to the Redskins in week 17.
Yeah, I know that sounds strange...just trust me...that scenario would help them more than the Vikings winning both of their final games. (Also, if both WAS and NYG win their last two games, it doesn't matter what MIN does.)

TLDR: Teams Vikings fans want to win this week are MIN, DAL, PHI, and BAL.

I know you guys don't give a shit about the record Witten is sure to break, I just found it odd as fuck that on the NFL Network in a segment about all the NFL records that could be broken this year they completely failed to mention the record Witten is pretty much guaranteed to break. I know it's not a TE thing because last year they were all over Graham and Gronkowski with the TD and Receiving yards record, trust me the last thing I expect this board to give a shit about is Dallas

Cowboys' O-line is so bad that Witten is usually pass/run blocking near the endzone so it's hard for him to get thrown TDs unless its from outside and he runs it in from 20-30 yards.

Otherwise, he's generally the Cowboys' chain mover, which allows him to rack up the receptions. Hell I think he broke the record for catches by a TE in a single game this year also, with 18.

So I have to give props to one of the Cowboys players. John Phillips, a TE, was here in KC visiting family at the KU medical center and called in twice to The Rocks morning show to donate money to a couple families during the radio stations "Hope for the Holidays" that they do every year. Dude paid a families rent for the next three months for one caller, then donated a grand to another family that was behind on their bills due to a server disease that had the father unable to work and the mom working two jobs just to keep the roof over their heads. It was nice to hear about that this morning.

I really wish you would go to morenetz, not that this thread was void of shit posters (thanks Azeth) but it sure as fuck was better with out you. The only reason people wanted you back was because the Saints have sucked major dick and they wanted to rub it in your face. I still get a good laugh that you thought the Saints would still be a playoff team before the season started and even thought they would be 13-3, I guess every thread needs its village idiot though so you do provide at least something around here.

You're on bro. Avatar bet for a week straight up?

I expect Cowboys to roll.... only to get blown out by the Redskins sans RGIII and miss the playoffs. Don't even know why I watch football anymore.
