The timekeeper is an NFL employee paid by the league and is a minor official, like the replay operator or anyone else who assists in game management. But his actions are controlled by the referee, who signals the ball as ready for play. In the event of malfunction of the clock, the referee can keep time on the field.
The offensive coordinator of the Niners is reportedly very interested in the Lions head coaching job.
But Regular season success has not translated into to more Super Bowl wins. The top ten have won only 7 super Bowl since 2002-2003 season.
the top 4 Gadzooks, big! The tears and wailing of the graveside service at Jerry World hasn't even faded away... 
and here you are bragging high and low about your Discount Daaaable Check Packers and Cheatin' Heart Pats--
Oh, well, guess I'd be doing the same if my Boys... 
had pulled off the blessed miracle last night--
So, I see your 'Discount Daaaable Check' and raise you her pair... 
as Margot and I enjoy a brief tropical island respite for me from the NFL strife and tussle and her from personal appearances for The Wolf of Wall Street.
See all y'all next weekend... 
for the Cowboyless playoffs--
I know I saw a number of Cowboys games growing up. Feel a loyalty to the division so I’m sure you two feel the same way as I do. The Eagles represent the Eastern Division so I will be cheering for them.
Black Monday axings’
Rob Chudzinski (actually Sunday night, poor bastard)
Mike Shanahan (Is he done?)
Greg Schiano (Tampa wants Lovey? Yikes)
Jim Schwartz (I’d have fired him last week!)
Leslie Frazier (arguably didn’t deserve it but was certain to be fired)
Bears defensive coordinator Mel Tucker and his Cowboys counterpart Monte Kiffin ought to be joining those head coaches on the unemployment lines and become a construction worker and a Walmart greeter, respectively.
Viqueens problem seems to be GM Rick Spielman, although Frazier seems no great shakes.
Takes five (or maybe four) seasons to make a final judgement on a head coach. (Frazier got 3-1/2). That said, this is just GM Spielman’s second year, and one could argue he’s entitled to bring in his own choices. Tough business, although the money involved always means the even the losers at the head coach and GM levels don’t really have to work much ever again.
Remember the Alamo Bowl, Texas gets creamed by the Ducks.
Texas Tech upsets AZ state though.
Gadzooks, this is going to be very, very hard on big.. 
ya know--
“Those aren’t pillows!”
Falcons fired offensive and defensive line coaches which is kind of unfair because neither line had an actual starting NFL player on it.
At least they’ve got him back under center for the playoffs.
I’ll avoid all jokes about connecting with wide receivers, tight ends and quarterback sneaks.
Just heard this talked about on sports radio, remember before the season started when they said some pro-football players might come out as gay?? Huh?? Anyway, I don’t think this will be a major story, no matter how it goes. It could be big but heck, that one summer with T.O. at training camp and he supposedly tried to kill himself, that was a bigger story than this would be. I think it will be pushed to the off-season.
Rodger's longtime girlfriend Destiny Newton on the left.
Which one... 
on the left, big... 
do you say is Destiny Newton?
I’m going to bet that this “story” originated in San Franfreako.....probably by the same “brain trust” that thought it would be a great idea to place some billboards up around Seattle.
It’s going to be fun to “welcome” these Village People to the FROZEN TUNDRA this coming Sunday afternoon. The high for the day will be a very PACKERS-like 9 degrees above zero. Forcast includes many bombs tossed to Jordy, Jones, Boykin and Cobb and interspersed with some body shaking runs by Lacy and Starks.
GO!! PACK!! GO!!
