Semana diez del NFL

Real men don't use armour in contact sports.

Touch football?  We have that too.

Yes, we do.  Whenever the New England Patriots play.

Lol... seemed that way for the Pats/Ravens game. But I also read in sports news that Patriot's players were complaining of the same thing regarding the Ravens QB, having to be so careful, even though I don't think the Pats got many penalties there, maybe one or something.

[KRonn]

What's the line on the Pats/Colts game?

This could turn out to be a rock fight, tough game. Probably will be and come down to the last minute. These two teams seem to be that way, especially if Manning and Brady are having good games, which both of them usually have as a given anyway.

Damn your Argentinian wife and their lack of Mexican slang!

I once met a girl nicknamed (by her girl friends) Chochopocho (chocho meaning cunt).

I once met a girl nicknamed (by her girl friends) Chochopocho (chocho meaning cunt). 

so her cunt is either rotten, loose, or excellent

[Iormlund]

I did my best not to find out (and succeeded despite her friends' insistence to the contrary). But I'm pretty sure it wasn't the latter meaning, which actually I had never heard of before today.

Never heard of chocho.  Is pusa just a Central American thing?

[Iormlund]

Never heard of pusa. I do know that in Argentina they say concha.  Another, more popular, alternative in Spain is coño.

Money for nothing: Fake $1 bribe costs Ochocinco $20,000

Chad Ochocinco's pretend $1 bribe is going to cost him a lot more. The Cincinnati Bengals receiver was fined $20,000 and reprimanded by the NFL for taking a dollar bill onto the field during an officials' review of one of his catches Sunday. Ochocinco held the dollar in his right hand at his side but didn't give it to the official, who motioned for him to stay away.

Ochocinco said he was just having fun, but the league didn't like it.

Ray Anderson, the league's executive vice president of football operations, sent Ochocinco a letter that said: "The very appearance of impropriety is not acceptable. Your conduct was unprofessional and unbecoming an NFL player."

The letter cited league rules that prohibit abusive, threatening or insulting language or gestures toward officials. The letter also noted that players are prohibited from taking items onto the field that are not part of their uniform. The league has cracked down on players using props for celebrations.

During the third quarter of Cincinnati's 17-7 win over the Ravens, officials initially ruled that Ochocinco got both feet down at the sideline for a 15-yard catch. The Ravens challenged, and the call was overturned when replays showed the receiver's toe landed on the sideline.

While the play was under review, Ochocinco walked toward the officials with the dollar bill.

I was surprised they waited until Friday to fine him for that.  It was funny though.

I nominate Jay Cutler for 49er of the year.


Edit: Smith had 16 completions to 49er catchers, Cutler had 5.

Cheap publicity for him.  And it gave him yet another thing to talk about on Twitter.

I like Ochocinco when he has his head on straight.  His bitching and moaning the last few years have been pretty immature but when he is playing well his jokes are good.  He wanted to send mustard packets to the Steelers because they wouldn't be able to ketchup.    Marvin Lewis told him not to.

Yeah, that's just it.  He's entertaining when things are good but a huge pain in the ass when things are bad.
