"NFL Week #1 Complaining Thread."
If you want to have any hope of enjoying the upcoming season, try not to read any really detailed articles about just how the league's concussion settlement will be dealt out. They settled for roughly three-quarters of a billion dollars -- and they won. It's enough to make me seek out Super Bowl tickets just so I can boo Goodell in person. Not that he'd ever hear me. Not that he hears much of anything which doesn't come with profit attached.

*sigh*

Well, it's pretty much a foregone conclusion that even if I go for the willful self-blindness, I'm not enjoying this season anyway. Put it this way: I'm waiting for the Jets to resign Tubya. As their actual best possible move. It's gone that far.

And for a less depressive complaint... lightly paraphrased radio comment: 'It's football season! The most exciting sport of all because it's the only one where on any given day, anything can truly happen! And now I will go through this entire schedule game by game, detail every upcoming win & loss, and let you know exactly where the locals will finish before anyone ever snaps a ball. Because anything can happen. But I say it won't. Now, Game One...'

...oh, shut up.

But since it's a game anyone can play, even when they shouldn't:

Giants: squeak out 10-6 on sheer nerve and get a wild card, out in the division round.

Jets: 4-12, then blow the draft pick. Rex fired, but not until the offseason.

Super Bowl weather: heh.

LAST EDITED ON 09-03-13 AT 12:43 PM (EST)

What is the purpose of the Jets signing Brady Quinn? Seems like they like to sign celebrity QB's with more celebrity than success in the NFL.

3. "RE: Brady Quinn?"
My theory is that Rex gets a per-headline salary bonus.

If he somehow lasts until 2018, he'll own the East Coast.

So let's see who's starting at quarterback for the Bills this week.

*checks*

Wow. Not even divine intervention can get Tubya a start in this league.

11. "Follow-up."
Maybe his deity had better start shouting. According to ESPN, Tubya was offered a job in the NFL -- one which came with a position switch. Turned it down. Quarterback in the CFL. Turned that down. USA Rugby came calling. Take a wild guess. He will only play if it's the NFL and he can be a quarterback. Nothing else.

There's such a thing as 'collecting a paycheck while you wait'. Unless he's trying to live on faith alone.

I've run my team-by-team predictions for this season in the span of an hour. End result? Two new division champs and one new playoff team, and a Manning brother wins it all. I'm taking Denver over Green Bay.

And the Dolphins are the first team out. By a hair. Another year of frustration redeemable only by laughing at the Jets and Eagles.

6. "Back to the false importance."
So I'm guessing that if you didn't start Peyton on your fantasy team, you're probably doing some major complaining.

That has to be a record for FF points.

You had to hear the head coach complaining after the game, talking about all the things they had to work on. Clearly the first item which needs tinkering is their passing attack...

In all of my years in playing FF, I've never seen a 60-point day until now.

In some leagues, he's at 57 points and in others he's at 60, depending on the scoring used. 462 yards = 18 points, 7 TDs = 42 points in the OT Rocks! league.

10. "Broadcast torture warning."
Last night, NBC had Ryan Seacrest announcing.

I'd say this is a good reason to never watch football on NBC again. Or anything else.

Come on, it's NBC. Like you'll ever notice.

12. "The strangely familiar-looking early career of Geno Smith"
Sure, anyone can fumble on their own 5-yard line.

And anyone can throw an interception on their next possession.

But after getting the ball back courtesy of your defense? Taking a sack which requires you to run nineteen yards directly backwards?

Now that's talent.

13. "Twenty-two players on offense."
So what do you think the final score of the Jets-Buccaneers game would have been if the entire Tampa Bay defense didn't have money on Gangrene? The entire game had the same pattern: "The Jets are stalling out on offense! Quick, someone commit an incredibly stupid penalty to get them another first down!" And so they did. Over and over and over again. It was amazing to watch, and it'll probably be even more fun to officially investigate.

*shrug* Well, there goes Clowney.

Where did you get that? Are there more? Please tell me there are more.

I think the greatest hidden part of that was noticing it was viewed through Rex Ryan's amazon account.

Greatest for you...

It's from Grantland and sadly, they only did the one. Pity. I don't know about turning it into a full-scale running gag, but I do think there was humor room for launching about two dozen in one article.

So no problem with the Santorum?

17. "RGThreeAndOut."
I say the Eagles last night were more about finally being rid of the Reidiot than the coaching powers of any replacement.

The Redskins, however, were just about the universe hating their owner. And you should too.
