NFL Week VII, Electric Boogaloo

[Neil]

You know, I'm torn by the Vikings-Steelers.  On one hand, the Vikings deserve a loss after their theft last week.  On the other hand, the Steelers are pure evil.

Whatever assists the Ravens' playoff hopes.

I suppose you're right.  We're at the point now where the Ravens have to fight for the playoffs.  Minnesota will get their comeuppance towards the end of the season.

No shut out!  Victory!

Any interesting local flavor in the NE-TB broadcast?  Any Poms invited into the booth, that sort of thing?

NFL Network has a Tommy calling in with regular reports.  Luckily, he's not using shit like "nil".

Phew. Steelers stopped Vikings on the 1 yrd line, forcing them into the field goal. Steelers still leading, 13-10.

A totally forgettable batch of games this afternoon. Bleh.

[CountDeMoney]

For a while, I thought the Vikes were playing the Patriots, what with the calls they're getting.
Then I remembered: it's the Patriots that get the calls against their opponents;  the Steelers just don't get any flags thrown, period.

LOL, the refs steal a Vikings touchdown.

So, when that stuff happens--namely, the refs take away a Vikes touchdown on a penalty that wasn't, and then a few plays later, the Steelers score a defensive touchdown--do you guys automatically jizz into those Terrible Towels, or just not worry about the effects on your afterlife, like Belichick and New England?

[Ed Anger]

Nice tackle by Jeff Reed. And a ref went down. 

[Barrister]

LOL, the refs steal a Vikings touchdown.

No shit.  And it turns into a Steelers TD moments later.

[Syt]

And a kick off return TD by the Vikings.

[Barrister]

Karma!

Also, why is it that whenever I see Tom Brady's face I feel like punching the tv? Why does he look so smug?
