To: Impy; All

I propose a new name for this charlatan of a QB: “Dirty Slutler”.

I texted Coach BRRUUUUUCCCCCEEEEE (we’re buds) and he replied “LOL” when I asked if he would sign Clausen. He also wrote back: “He’s perfect for CHI!”

It’s an obvious sign, starting Claussen, that trestman? is gone; I’m sure he’s been told already, just like Footman Rex.

It’ll cost CHI $15 million against next year’s salary cap to cut Dirty Slutler. Let’s see if they bite the bullet and do what needs to be done.

I’d say Claussen’s a top 30 3rd stringer.

In MLB/Cuba news...expect more Cubanos:

So you’re saying we should cut off his arm and graft it onto someone else’s body? I like it! ;p

It appears to me Green Bay is effed and out of the playoffs if they lose to Lovie’s Somali Salami Smugging Barbary Coast Bottom Boys, even if they then beat the Lions.

But I think their chances of losing that game are similar to Chris Chistie’s odds of looking down and seeing his junk anytime soon.

may substitute JJ Watt

JJ may not be a QB, but could you imagine a safety trying to sack him? That would be worth the price of admission.

153 passing yards against the Clown Car Saints secondary last Monday, may be the one worst QB performance of this entire year.

I was pleasantly shocked. However, watch Matt Ryan triple that quantity this week in NOLA.

The Pack will win. As for Cutler...even if this is it for him as a QB, he’s a Vanderbilt guy, he’ll be able to find another line of work.

I've tried Denver and Chicago... Maybe I need to play somewhere warm.

Dan Snyder always has his checkbook out and ready....

Cutler for Griffin trade? That’s an idea. Probably a bad one but it’s an idea.

Why not?

Slutler is the modern day Jeff George, no question.

you are making beginner mistakes!

GB could be out regardless of which game they lose ...

PHI 11-5 GETS DIV
DAL 11-5 lost to INDY

DET 11-5 GETS DIV
GB 11-5 lost to DET OR TB

DALLAS GETS THE WILDCARD OVER GB IN the above. (Due to Common games over GB.)

if DAL 5th loss is to Redskins (a conf game), then GB is the wildcard. (Due to conf record over DAL.)

XXX = no tie is possible.

The bold ones are clinched tiebreakers.
Also, lower case indicates a lead, but not a clinch.
example GB vs DAL:
gb-L3 dal-L4
MEANS DAL leads in Common games. GB leads in CONF record. ATL VS N.O.: ATL-2. Atlanta has clinched tiebreaker over Saints due to DIV record

TEN-JAX wasn’t as horrible as I thought it would be.

But, damn...there is A LOT of bad football played in the NFL. Those NFL Films of crappy plays from decades past aren’t any worse than what’s being played today’s bad teams.

Dirty Slutler knows the end is near: http://espn.go.com/chicago/nfl/story/_/id/12048720/jay-cutler-chicago-bears-hopes-remain-team-being-benched

Who’s contract is worse, his or ARoids?

1- ...HEAD-TO-HEAD
2- ...DIV REC
3- ...CONF REC
4- ...COMMON GAMES
READ ACROSS. Example, the Dolphins have clinched the tiebreaker vs. BUFF & PITT & CLEVE. And SD.
The 3-way tie MIA-SD-PITT goes to conference games where SD could still tie (SD currently trails MI & PT in conference record at 9-7 finish) ... then it goes to Common games where SD wins it due to common games over MIAMI & PITT.

CLEVELAND BROWNS
are already eliminated from the playoffs (in normal circumstances). they can only get in if:

PITT 10-6
CLE 9-7
BALT 9-7


KC 8-7-1
SD 8-7-1

HOUS BUFF MIA also cannot win 9 games.

BROWNS GET 2nd place over BALT in above case and get #6.
But KC-SD game must end in a tie.
if KC SD OR BUFF or BALT win this week, it is over for CLE.

Cutler’s contract is worse because MLB has no salary cap.

That is freaky.

Now please go over the #1 pick scenarios.

Yeah, good point.

And at least ARoid was good at one point.
