The Slippery Soapbox

It's the beginning of the NFL season but we're 5 games into it. So the question is, what team has impressed you the most this season and which has disppointed the most?

Kansas has all victories and had a massive win at Boston.

[ctaulbee]

Chiefs often look good at the beginning of the season, they have been lucky so far like coming back from 10 down against Washington, you can do that against the Redskins you will be less fortunate against a top team, they won't finish as high as their four week numbers would suggest, kind of like the Panthers from a couple of years back who play in a weak division, they nearly went undefeated, looked great on the numbers, then got smashed when they hit the big time.

Patriots have been surprisingly bad, I know they lost Julian Edelman and Gronk has been sidelined a lot still they are used to that, they looked bad against the Bucs even though they won it was not pretty.

The shocker is the Giants at 0-4 they are having a terrible start.

On the surprise plus side, the Lions are looking like contenders but that been a trend for a little while now, I'm still not convinced that Stafford is worth the top pay in the NFL at 27 million per year, even Tom Brady only makes 20 million a year, just saying...

This must be common knowledge but does anyone know why the NFL season is so short? Like any league competition starts at October and ends on June, like the NBA.

Why does the NFL only have like 3 months worth of play?Seems strange. Does anyone know why?


Yeah The Patriots aren't good. Brady though is on fire.

[ctaulbee]

Simple answer is it's a brutal sport, there are limits on how much physical abuse each team can absorb in a given time frame.

Yankees closed out the Indians, happy about that  

Now let's see if the Cubs can do the same to the Nats.




Also it's Thursday Night Football Eagles vs Panthers

I'm not a Cam fan so go Eagles!

[topmeasure]

Grew up near D.C. so let's go Nats, also a Skins fan so I can't stand the beagles, not a big fan of Cam either but rather them beat the beagles.

[alienmem]

It's almost NBA's opening night. I wanna see Irving demolish the Cav's.

[ctaulbee]

Cam after the Eagles kick his ass at home, I'm so tickled right now!      

[ctaulbee]

Nats went down swinging lol, Cubs advance...

[ctaulbee]

The bad boys from Steeltown went to the undefeated Chiefs house and kicked their little tomahawk waving asses.

This is what it looks like when your QB gets man-handled by a Steeler on a mission.

Your welcome Mr. Smith, LMAO!

[alienmem]

Just wait until those Steelers visit Boston....

[ctaulbee]

The Chiefs came to Foxborough and beat the Patriots in Gillette stadium to open the season, so they are not invincible like many think...

I know. No team is unbeatable. i was just messing around with you. It was a great victory for the Steelers.

they did "steal" the game...hhee

[ctaulbee]

So do you think the Yankees can win now that they are back in NY?

[alienmem]

Well the Dodgers lost the World Series in game 7 and it was not even close, Tsk-tsk  

Bills lost, damn McCoy is killing me this week...

Let's see what else sucks in the world of sports...  

Hell that's no fun, hmmmm.....

Oh-oh I know since Baseball season is over and since the Astro's are the World Champs for the first time ever how about a shamelessly sexist image of the best part of the Astro's organization...

yeah that's right I'm talking about >>> The Dugout Girls.

I'll have my door wide open.

[alienmem]

God, she's stunning. Is she famous?

On a side note. Kyrie Irving continues his mass destruction last night. Boston made the trade of the century with Irving. Insane handles
