Well, here's an actual pic of a Skittles burger that you may find either amusing, ingenious or revolting.

And here's the Beast Burger I was talking about.


Meanwhile, Whisenhunt is going to Tennessee by the looks of it.

As long as the Skittles are fried into the burger, it's all good. Although once I did eat a Big Mac with Pop Rocks on it as a bet.

Jim Caldwell will be the Lions next head coach. That leaves the Vikings and Browns as the only teams still searching for a coach.

Wow

Wow

That's surprising actually. Well, not the commercials, but the game action.

 

[flynnibus]

Well a game can often be 150+ snaps.. that is 24 seconds per play.. including any clock run off before the play actually moves. If 11min after is right.. at 150 plays that is basically 4.4 seconds of 'action' per play.

This is also why as a wrestler in school.. we looked at our 6 minute matches as far more intense as football who get to take a breather twice or more per minute

 

[acishere]

Wow

That seems about right. Except for CBS games. For those games the chart needs commercials to be half the graph.

 

[PUSH]

The Giants named Packers QB coach, Ben McAdoo, as their new offensive coordinator.

 

[Megalodumb]

Wow

Soccer & Basketball players have to be laughing at this.

Wow

I wonder how that graph that compares to baseball. Baseball games usually lasts about the same time.

That's a good hire. The Giants were heavily linked with Mike Sullivan, the former Tampa OC, but I guess the Giants are trying something new, which is good.

I'm no expert on McAdoo, but dealing with the Rodgers/Wallace/Tolzien/Flynn situation this season probably helped his cause for an OC.

Baseball typically only has pauses twice a game tho... but I guess you could consider the time waiting for the pitch to be dead time?

Basketball is the one that gets screwed up by TV the most. The TV timeouts really change the pace of the game.

At the start of the season, I thought for sure it was going to be a Denver-New Orleans Super Bowl.

At least you got it half right.

 

[MOXOMUMD]

At least you got it half right.

Or did they?

 

[Hot Lava]

Or did they?

I pray to God, yes! Is there a fingers crossed emoticon here?

Depends which Broncos team shows up this week. If it is the team that played against Jacksonville, Indy, or SD the last 2x, who knows. And Broncos have even more injuries.

It makes me queasy just thinking about it!

My teams are out but I'm hoping San Fran is Super Bowl bound.

I am old, so it is still weird for me that Seattle is not still in the same division as Denver. And yeah, I know it has now been a loooooong time now, but they were in the same division in my formative years. I also still miss the Big 8 Conference, so i am mired in the past.

I should hate the Seahawks, since Wilson threw over the Rockies to play football; but he does seem like a nice kid.

I don't too much care who ends up on the other side as long as it is the Broncos on one!

 

[flynnibus]

I'm thinking the 49ers are just a tad more complete and 'in sych' right now vs the 'hawks. The 49ers have the hunger after getting so close last year.. and they are effectively the same team plus some upgrades.

The hawks look dominating at times.. but if the 49ers can run, and stop the beast like the defensive front played last week... I think the 49ers have the edge. Home field for the 'hawks erodes that some... but it's a tough call.

I still think kapernick is more deadly as a QB than wilson is. But the 49ers have not been blowing people out either. My emotional side says 49ers will rise up... my technical side says the 'hawks will neutralize the 49ers passing and keep them off the field.

The brady/manning game... brady is that wild card.. but the broncos are capable of just too many weapons. I think manning wins a shoot out. The newly discovered running strength of the patriots won't outscore the TDs manning can throw.

 

[PUSH]

Mike Zimmer, Bengals DC, is set to be the Vikings' new head coach. Now just the Browns! And the Bengals need a new OC and DC.

 

[PUSH]

Eddie Lacy will replace Adrian Peterson at the Pro Bowl. Peterson will not participate due to injury.

In coaching news: Detroit hired Jim Caldwell. Cleveland, we're waiting.....
