Al Davis is dead.

Well, he was looking like a lich already, so . . .

Al Davis is dead.
He's running a 4.24 forty yard dash somewhere :cry:
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Jobs, Davis, I wonder who number 3 will be.  We need to start a Dead Pool.

Well, his health was poor, but that party of 15th-level adventurers that looted his crypt last night was just too much for him.

Looks like Jacksonville is favored by 1 point over the Bengals.  Jacksonville is bad, but I guess the oddsmakers are expecting the Bengals to be the Bengals :ph34r:

Can you post the full set of lines?

Best I can do right now is link you:

Damn with Davis dead, the Raiders are probably a lock for the Super bowl.

The Texans really need to win this one with games @Baltimore and @Tennessee coming up.

The San Diego and Green Bay lines look like easy money.  I also think Shittsburg is going to bounce back and cover.

I feel sorry for my Dad.  He's from St. Louis and he was overjoyed when the Rams came.  He had pretty much given up on the NFL after the Cards went to Phoenix.  And when the Ram first played, they weren't bad.  They even won the Superbowl back in 1999.  Now look at them.  Every time they play it just tortures him.  On Sunday I'll ask him, "Are the Rams playing?", and he responds, "Well, there's a game, and they are there, but they aren't really playing".  I wonder if they will win more games then they lose this year.   I wonder if they will win any games.  There was that one season two years ago where they won only one game.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I don't know.  If the Steelers can't pressure the QB, they can't win.  The Titans line is actually pretty good, and the Steelers are missing some firepower on defence lately.

The Steelers can't stop the run and are playing against Chris Johnson.

The Steelers' O-Line is horrible and the Titans are very good against the run.  Also Mendenhall isn't supposed to play.

The rapist is going to have to win this one on his own.

Chris Johnson hasn't impressed me so far.

This year or in general?  He hasn't done a whole lot this year outside of last week but he has shown that he is a very good back.  I will be surprised if he doesn't go for 100 yards tomorrow.
