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.

Here we are st First Church of Football's new home: Sunday Night Collinsworth Smugfest. I've been waiting all day (not really). Have you?

Straight From the Jacket Predictions: Week 9

After a well-deserved bye week from the Straight From the Jacket Predictions (what?  Ok fine.  YOU drive from Boston to Denver in 5 days, while having to stay in Kansas for a night because every Interstate into Colorado was more snowpacked than the road up to the hotel in The Shining.  Yeah, that's what I thought.), we here at POFD are back and ready for some action from the Lord's Sport. 

Hot action.

Sweaty action.

Lofty action.

Here are your 100% lead pipe, lock-down, guaranteed predictions for the NFL's Week 9 slate of games.

Rams Find New QB in Unexpected Place

 

     During an emotional win over the Detroit Lions on Sunday, the St. Louis Rams may have discovered a franchise quarterback.

That Makes Me a Sad Cutler: Adventures in Majestic Pigskin Fuck-ups

(Chicago Sun-Times)

Each Monday, in honor of Jay Cutler, master of the team-crippling interception, Punting on First Down chronicles football players fucking up so badly, that you can blame them single-handedly for their team's loss. Exaggerations and hyperbole abound.

Will the Eagles be able to overcome the powerhouse Redskins now that they don't have to face the posthumous kickoff coverage of the empigeoned Marquis Cooper?

POFD Fireside Chats: Philip Rivers

 

Occasionally, Punting on First Down asks an NFL star to come sit down by the fire, grab a glass of pinot noir, maybe take off some clothes, and GET FUCKING REAL. No PR reps or lawyers allowed.

Good evening, friends. This week we get to know Philip Rivers...

Straight From the Jacket Predictions: Week 7

Though the most neck-bearded team in football is currently enjoying its bye week, thus rendering the remaining schedule virtually meaningless to those in the Forgotten Time Zone, the rest of the schedule of games will still go on.  They will survive.  For today, they celebrate, their independence day.

Sorry, Bill Pullman always gets to me...

Let's get this shindig started.  Here are your 100%, guaranteed, gun-toting, git-r-dun predictions for Week 7...
