10.13.08 MONDAY SUCK-OFF: KICKIN’ BALLS, TAKIN’ NAMES
Three teams lost at the feet of kickers and their last second field goals yesterday, but if you’re a fan of the Lions, Redskins, or Bears (oh my!), you might already know that. And if so, congratulations on not committing suicide last night! We all know you had the perfect opportunity after watching New England get destroyed last night. Man, that game would have been so satisfying, had it happened in Week One, but with Matt Cassel dragging that team down to Special Olympian status, even the confused face of Bill Belichick couldn’t bring me the joy that flipping to another game would have.
You know who else sucked yesterday? The AFC North. Baltimore got whipped by an Indy team that’s been struggling all year, while Favre’s two picks and one fumble weren’t generous enough to get a Carson Palmer-less Cincinnati team past the Jets. As for Pittsburgh and Cleveland? Those turds didn’t even play.
The Tom Cable Era got off the only way it possibly could have, with the Raiders losing in a blowout to the Saints. San Francisco’s not quite ready for prime time, as the Niners let the Westbrook-less Eagles hang 23 points on them in the fourth quarter in a come-from-ahead loss. And Carolina lost a big division game against Jeff Garcia, who may have played well enough to usurp Brian Griese as the Bucs’ starting quarterback next week against Seattle.
If we were going to hand out some suck-off medals, the bronze would go to clockblocker Ken Whisenhunt, whose last-second timeout in regulation damn near cost his team a win. Any silver would be set aside for the officials of the Packers-Seahawks game, who seem hellbent on screwing Mike Holmgren on every conceivable gray-area call that arises. I suppose Dan Orlovsky could have made it here, too, but there was just so much novelty in unintentionally wandering out of the end zone…that’s more like “trailblazing” than “sucking” to me.
But the gold would have to go to the Miami Dolphins defense, who let Matt Schaub and his three picks drive down the field on them for the game-winning touchdown in the last minute.
Congrats to everyone that sucked this week. You are what makes watching the NFL so awesome.
This will be an abbreviated posting day because of the holiday. Seriously. WL will return in full force on Tuesday.

“This will be an abbreviated posting day because of the holiday. WL will return in full force on Tuesday.”
Seriously?
Holiday, eh?
I wonder if McDonalds is still going to be open to sell me McMuffins?
This is a concern.
Holiday??? Is WL a bank? or is in in honor of the Canadia Thanksgiving?
What fucking holiday, I’m still at work, diligently working hard…
Ugh, that niners highlight hurts me on the inside.
I’d rather fill my dick hole with concrete than be at work right now.
It’s less a “holiday” in the sense that we get to enjoy a day off and more a “holiday in the sense that we won’t get any mail and a parade will make traffic a disaster for most of the day.
And, the 3 Raiders RB’s combined for 74 yards of rushing offense. If that isn’t suck-off gold medal worthy, I’m not sure what is.
Fucking Columbusians. It’s bad enough they’re taking our jobs, now they’ve got their own holiday too!
Abbreviated posting day for Columbus Day, eh? Fuck that, maybe if he would have killed more Indians.
Ugh, Smello…I’m sorry about your team. We used to have Jamarcus Russell on our team, too. His name was Aaron Brooks.
Geaux Saints.
@ smello - you didn’t enjoy watching jamarcus overthrow every open receiver? i fucking hate that guy. for now.
Good news.
I had McMuffins for lunch today.
Crisis averted.
I must say, I am extremely disappointed with you, WL.
Great news.
Romo’s out four weeks.
I’m disappointed in the Redskins. Way to fuck up my Suicide Pool.
Is Romo Italian? He’ll have to move his ring to his other hand.
The guy I play next week in my fantasy league has Romo as his #1 and his backup is Kurt Warner (bye). Thank you Jebus that I checked WL so as to grab Brad Johnson and stuff him on my bench. Now the guy has the choice between Joe Flacco and Brodie Croyle.
Thanks WL users!!
Other benefits of checking With Leather: rape jokes, pedophilia jokes, racial intolerance and Gina Carano.
Tony Romo is the Inspector Gadget to my Dr. Claw.
Dude, with WL pulling a fake sick day, my productivity at work totally shot up about 4% today to a grand total of 6% of my max capability.
Taking a very long crap is productive, right?
If not, please disregard this comment.
As long as this keeps the “lingerie football league” photo on the front page I’m OK with it.That one girls thighs are stronger then Xenia Onatopp’s (from Goldeneye).
As opposed to Xenia Onatopp from My Two Dads?
Blogging is so difficult. I understand that a three day weekend is something every blogger needs, if only to let the scabs from overabundant masturbating heal.
The sad thing is I keep checking to see if there’s a new post.
I’m glad the Browns didn’t take the day off! (I will live to regret that.)
Matt went to Europe for Columbus Day? Better never run for office as a Democrat, the GOP will crucify you with that kinda stuff.
It’s amazing how fast this site has gone downhill, I fear the golden age of sports blogs behind us.
