Wildcard Throwball Weekend: Saturday

Today’s games are both on NBC and represent the end of this season’s Throwball schedule for them.  The early game at 4:30 pm pits the Who ‘Dats @ Seahawks, the late one at 8 pm features the Jets @ Bolts.

Now since I don’t care much about Throwball (the season is half over by the time the Series is), I make my post season picks based purely on sentimentality and loathing.  Take the Who ‘Dats, they had another tough year down on the bayou what with BP spewing up Billions of Barrels of Crude through a combination of incompetence and greed and the Obama administration is still busily covering it up, so I’m rooting for them.

Sorry Seahawks.  Have a Grande Mocha Latte on me (I’ll have a double Redeye, black as my soul).

As for loathing, there’s no easier team to hate than the Bolts.  Over Irsay?  I don’t think I’ll ever get over Irsay, Elaine.  The Jets also have the virtue of playing in the Tri-State Area which appeals to my inner Doofenschmirtz.

This is a live blog (for both games) which means I’ll kinda sorta be paying attention while I’m actually doing something else entirely and if I do impart some useful information you can console yourself with the knowledge that it’s just an accident.

      never thought of them that way before. Mostly just thought they were annoying.

    is this sets up a Bolts/Patsies matchup next week and it’s hard to decide who I hate more.

    I’m not quite sure what’s the point of blimp shots of domed stadiums.

    Do you want to see how full the parking lot is?

    Roughing the kicker on a punt.

    3:02 Jets’ ball.

    Not that I take much comfort in it.

    I’m looking at this all wrong.  If the Bolts face the Patsies I’m guaranteed at least one team I hate will lose.

      The Republican silence about the kind of campaign rhetoric espoused by these loons gave it tacit approval.

      Remember the report DHS that was from the Bush administration about the right wing hate groups? The Republicans screamed about it. I’ll bet you any money this kid was associated with one of those groups.

    I would have taken the early time out and a chance at the end zone.
