Even though tonight’s NFL opener features a couple of teams I loathe despise hate with a passion don’t care much about, I’ll be watching.  But as far as I’m concerned it’s not really the season opener until the Cowboys — the team of teams, America’s Team itself — has played.  That happens Sunday in Maryland, I mean, Washington.

Consider this your open thread for smack talk, fantasy tabulating and otherwise opening game night comment brawling.

If you’re in the mood for some political hard knocks, check out Chris Christie’s latest jailbreak rush on the New Jersey teachers union.  This man is a leader who isn’t afraid to open up a 55-gallon drum of whoop on anybody.  I LOVE it.

  1. Ack! Another year of the Raiders losing while Al ponders why Kenny Stabler isn’t out there throwing the bomb during the last 5 seconds of the game for a win.

  2. Actually, these days, I tend to think that Al still believes that Kenny, Fred, Jim Otto and Blanda are still playing each week…

  3. I would have preferred to watch someone besides the Saints and Vikings on opening night, but since its football, Im sitting right in front of the TV with my laptop. For what I consider to be the REAL opening game, I have to wait until Monday night to watch my Ravens kick the living snot out loudmouth Rex Ryan and his overrated Jets.

    I luvz Chris Christie! Watching that libs head literally SPIN when he started answering her question made my day!

    Add this one to the Christie pr0n file!

  5. I finally had a chance to watch the above clip of Gov. Christie in action, and that’s awesome, awesome stuff. I wonder if the teachers’ unions in NJ realizes how badly they’re losing the optics of this battle.

    Nice first half. The Vikes did the Minute to Win It thing to go ahead, only to get blocked on the EP.

    Re Christie, Ed, no, I don’t think they do. He’s just crushing them and they only know one response: Whine.

    When you compare him to that skinny, swishy one, Chris is the man! OK, he could loose a little weight, just to make sure hes healthy and is around for a long, long time. Imagine sending emails to pray that he dies! I hope he breaks the teachers union into little pieces.

    The Republican Party needs a few hundred leaders like Gov. Christie.

      Dont be greedy. Start with 10.

      • Polly

        WRONG! Work for 100; if 10′s all you can manage, live with it, be thankful for it, and keep working for 100!

        GET GREEDY! There’s no such thing as too much common sense.

    The Ray Lewis Old Spice ad was full of awesome.

    Excuse me, but the Dallas Cowboys are the locus of all that is evil in the modern world.

    GO RAVENS

    Well since you mixed football and Christie in the same article, I’ll do the same:

    I think Christie would have made a GREAT football coach if he wasn’t in politics.

    He knows how to motivate, inspire, and he knows what it takes to WIN! Even when he’s the “underdog” he never lets up, and strategizes the heck out of the opposition!

    Kind of reminds me of a cross between John Madden and Bill Parcells.

    Maybe someday he’ll bring that magic to Washington and in the words of Reagan:
    “Win one for the Gipper”

    Why is there no roof on Texas Stadium?…so God may watch his team play.

    I can’t believe you would have the gaul to mention “Cowboys” and “Chris Christie” in the same post. Chris Christie is the most amazing politician this country has seen since, well, maybe ever. The Cowboys, well, they just suck. Christie 2012.
    E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES 2011!

    May the Jets be humbled like no other team this season.
    Go Dolphins!

  15. 15. Rex Ryan

    Hey, #@S@!~**# the Ravens! We’re the ^&@#~* Super Bowl champs in waiting!
    I’m the Chris Christie of football! And I’m $@!~+`#@ humble too!
    &*#@@%@~ teacher unions!

  16. 16. 1TallGuy

    Hmmmm… You never saw Bruce Wayne and Batman together, Clark Kent and Superman together… and you never see Chris Christie and Rex Ryan together.

    A refreshing breeze from the Garden State. If we could fill the Congress with guys like this we might get back to the America the Founders envisioned in a hurry. How cool would that be.

  18. It’s the Iggles year.

  19. Ohhhhhhhhh, Baby!!!!!!!!! Am I ready!!!!!!!!!!!

  20. 20. Bogusbob

    Sadly, I’ll remember that Cowboy-Skin game last night for a long time.
