First Church of Football: A Semi-Live Webbed Logging of the Lord's Sport

Punting on First Down presents a sort of live web log of the NFL action on most Sundays. At least the ones on which I have internet access and I don't have to work. So probably not every week but from time to time. 

 Well, we missed some of the game (one quarter to be specific) but we're back for the media Brady-Manning masturbatory salute starring Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth.




Let's party...

  1. Here kitty kitty. God damn, you NFL network. If I were a Dolphins fan, I'd be furious about how the Dolphins are only a wildcat team now and nothing else. Jesus.

  2. Look a white wide receiver! He must be just like Wes Welker in every way!

    ReplyDelete
  3. Hmmm... there's an awful lot of punting in this game for these two supposed QB masters. Let's get the TD show on the road for fucksake.

    ReplyDelete
  4. Although, Punting on First Down is obviously a strong proponent of punting frequently and, often, needlessly.

  5. Tom Brady was a sixth round pick? My God! I never knew! I certainly haven't heard that said about him 8000 times a day.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Brady threw an incomplete pass. Just saying, since nobody seems to think it has ever happened.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Ha Ha! Ballet! What a zinger from Collinsworth!

    ReplyDelete
  8. Why is Julian Edelman so open all the time? He has terrible, terrible gaaas.

    ReplyDelete
  9. I like how in the trailer for ninja assas... assasss... asas... killed a guy cites a critic who called the movie "violent" as if that was self-evidently a good thing. The critic probably said, "This movie is so disgustingly violent, it made me sick to my stomach. Even the moments that weren't drenched in blood and human entrails were awful and unbearable. Don't ever see this pile of excrement."

  10. Also, the Colts corners are trying to sneak up on Edelman from behind to try and steal his Jew gold!

    ReplyDelete
  11. "My Sharona is blasting in the background, but it was the Patriots who had "the knack" for scoring in the first half..."

    Oh Bob Costas, you've been doing this too long.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Huh? What? Oh, sorry. I must have nodded off for a second. Tony Dungy started talking. And it didn't involve homo-bashing.

    ReplyDelete
  13. But it did involve absolutely no camera presence whatsoever.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Bobby Costas with the Bengals prison joke! That's what he's paid for, folks.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Let's see: the Lions are really bad, the Bengals get in trouble with the law often, and what's with these airplane peanuts? Am I right?

    ReplyDelete
  16. Take my wife, please....I tell ya, I get no respect...

    ReplyDelete
  17. Sebastian Vollmer, starting left tackle, New England Patriots, immigrant. Jesus, no American job is safe anymore!

    ReplyDelete
  18. They need to bring back the "football move" rule. This two step or whatever thing is horse crud. Nothing more hilarious than announcers mulling over a challenge, trying to decide what constitutes a football move.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Well, it's obvious that Wes Welker's "football moves" would be much less "hip" and more "square" than say, Randy Moss' ghetto freestylin' moves.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Even Collinsworth was shocked, SHOCKED, that Sir Tom of Brady misread a defense! It must be a misprint, good sir!

    ReplyDelete
  21. It's Brady vs. Manning...anything you can do I can do shittier...

    ReplyDelete
  22. Peyton Manning's throw on the interception? Chris Simms-esque.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Ah yes. The double pick. That's what you call a momentum killer. And after Bethea stupidly came out of the endzone on the first pick. This kind of shit always happens to the Patriots and they somehow get credit for it.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Bill Belichick invented football. You didn't know that?

    ReplyDelete
  25. I wonder if Sebastian Vollmer is playing tonight. Haven't really heard his name mentioned yet.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I can't wait to watch the Today Show tomorrow where Meredith Viera interviews a lady who was attacked by a chimp......Seriously? That qualifies as news? I was bitten by a squirrel once. Can I be on tv?

    ReplyDelete
  27. Wow. Another impressive turnover. Let's hope these teams just keep driving back and forth and turning the ball over for the rest of the night. That'd be tailgate approved!

    ReplyDelete
  28. If I were Peyton Manning, I would have come up with better audible codes specifically suited to the Patriots. "AIDS! AIDS! I gave Giselle AIDS on 3!" or "Belichick is a cunt! He's a fat stupid cunt! 58 is the mike!"

    ReplyDelete
  29. That was a pretty scrappy run-back by Wes Welker. He should win the Eckstein Award for Scrappiness.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Or "Wes Welker almost poetically symbolizes the racism prevalent in the greater Boston area."

    ReplyDelete
  31. If you have a sudden decrease in vision. You probably shouldn't be boning in your medical situation. Please don't take Cialis, for God's sake.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I was wondering why there weren't any people of color at that Red Sox game I went to....that term still flies, right? In Boston it did...

    ReplyDelete
  33. Ninja Killed A Guy also is "gory" according to a critic. It's all like: society, here's a mirror.

    ReplyDelete
  34. I believe "negroes" is the politically correct term in Boston.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I wish that production company wouldn't have stolen my home movies from my trip to Japan...

    ReplyDelete
  36. This game should be directed by Roland Emmerich. It would most definitely have much more massive walls of water and huge explosions chasing people. That would certainly speed up some of these drives.

    ReplyDelete
  37. But that would involve TV execs listening, and Roland only takes productions where we didn't, in fact, listen.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Hello, I'm a PC. And I don't start doing incredibly annoying shit for no reason when you are trying to do something else.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Bill Belichick inspired his team? No way. He probably just played that Pacino speech from the end of Any Given Sunday again.

    ReplyDelete
  40. If Santa got me a Mercedes, I would believe in him.

    ReplyDelete
  41. I'm guessing that won't happen, though, because Santa seems like one of those things that you have to believe in it for it to exist--like God.

    ReplyDelete
  42. If you had a Mercedes, you would probably have a seat reserved on the ark once the world goes to the shitter. You wouldn't even need a Tibetan monk to sneak you in through the hydraulic chamber.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Manning: "Gator! Gator! Bruschi is a huge pussy! Hike!"

    ReplyDelete
  44. Awww sheeeeit. Ain't over yet. The Colts should drive down the field, score a TD, then go for two. Let's make that happen. Go.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Al Michaels is "stunned times 5" that the Pats went for it on 4th down. Collinsworth retorted by saying he's "stunned times infinity."

    ReplyDelete
  46. That old guy just stared at that girl's ass on the Fidelity add.

    ReplyDelete
  47. So can we just admit Belichick made a stupid decision? Or is that heresy and banishment to Siberia?

    ReplyDelete
  48. If they get in, they better go for two.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Damn it. Lame. Jim Caldwell is a coward, I tell you.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Tom Brady is so handsome in defeat. Dreamy.

    ReplyDelete
  51. His buttchin needs a new coat of sheen.

    ReplyDelete
  52. I believe it. Cause it happened.... I find stuff happening quite believable, in spite of Cris and Al.

    ReplyDelete
  53. But incredulity is a key for any broadcaster. It was actually in the handbook I received when I first got my job with the Nationals. Right in front of the hyperbole chapter.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Is Andrea Kraemer wearing a leather zipper-covered purple jacket? Tribute to Michael Jackson perhaps?

    ReplyDelete
  55. And that must be after the drive the retarded mini stories into the ground chapter.

    ReplyDelete
  56. That was a bad coaching decision by Bill Belichick! What insightful analysis from everyone on the NBC staff! I never would have even thought about that!

    ReplyDelete
  57. Here's a preview of Al and Cris' thoughts: Al: "That was a yooooooooge decision by Belichick. You're excited? Feel these nipples." Cris: "Sebastian Vollmer for league MVP, hyuck hyuck. I mean, this guy is good. And I should know. I'm a genius."

    ReplyDelete
  58. Alright, that about does it, folks. We bid you adieu.
