Worth a read from the start! It's quite funny.

I love the Big Ben/potato comparison. Every time I see him I think, "damn that dude is ugly."

 

[Mark.]

Patriots fans at Gillette Stadium have startd up a “Where is Roger?!” chant.

Goodell is so dumb, he’ll probably tell them where he is. “Here I am! Want to hang out and be friends?” [gets hit with a brick]
Loved this one.

I kept thing of Will Ferrell playing a really dense beer league football player.

"Patriots 21-11 Steelers. 4:29 left in the 3rd.

Patriots drive stalls after Brady gets drilled on a sack by Will Allen. Somewhere, probably somewhere awful, Roger Goodell smiles.

Pittsburgh’s ball after the punt."

"Roethlisberger was limping a little bit after the 2-point play. His streak of limping a little bit at one point now extends to every game of his career."

This is totally true! I see it every time I see a steelers game!

"Patriots 21-3 Steelers. 10:37 left in 3rd.
Scott Chandler with a TD reception. The Patriots are so bored by Pittsburgh’s defense that they’re letting non-Gronks score now."

Thanks for the link! I hope the guy will do more Pats games:

"At the risk of becoming the millionth sportswriter to quote a line from The Wire, Omar Little said it best: “You come at the king, you best not miss.” Roger Goodell, in his unmatched incompetence, missed. Badly. He missed so bad his shot ricocheted off the courthouse wall and hit him square in his stupid face."

What an amazing blog!

Thanks for the blog, funny as hell! Not sure about british humor, but they seem to be making a lot of sarcastic comments about cheating, tongue-in-cheek like... or are they being serious? Like for example:

"13 plays, 90 yards, 7:03 elapsed. Brady hits Gronkowski on back-to-back passes to give the Patriots the first touchdown of 2015. It looked so easy, they had to be cheating, no?"

Some of my faves:

Josh Scobee misses 44-yard field goal attempt. Score 0-0.
Have to feel bad for Scobee. He played his whole career with the Jaguars before this. He hasn’t kicked many field goals that have meant anything.

NBC just interviewed Rob Gronkowski, and he successfully made words for three minutes. Even if the Steelers win, that’s the upset of the night.

The Steelers get the ball at the 20 after a touchback on the kickoff. They should be rested after the long Patriots drive and approximately 38 TV commercials.

Steelers are going for it on 4th and 3 from the New England 35. Patriots have called timeout. Apparently they didn’t steal Pittsburgh’s 4th down plays and have to scramble.

The thing I like about NFL halftime is that all of the commercials make it feel very much like game action.

Scott Chandler with a TD reception. The Patriots are so bored by Pittsburgh’s defense that they’re letting non-Gronks score now.

Roethlisberger was limping a little bit after the 2-point play. His streak of limping a little bit at one point now extends to every game of his career.

Dion Lewis fumbled at the goal line, but Gronk fell on it for a touchdown.

It’s good to see the Patriots finally get some breaks.

I like the caption on the GRONK photo at the top of the page:

"Rob Gronkowski resumes normal service."
