Thursday night football. Doesn’t have quite the same ring as Sunday or Monday, but it’ll have to do. The Jets blew a 24-6 lead, allowed the Pats to tie the game on a touchdown with one second remaining in regulation, then went on to win in overtime 34-31. As was said in last night’s live-blog at KSK, it was the most boring division rivalry overtime game to determine first place played in primetime, ever.
Matt Cassel somehow threw for 400 yards and three touchdown passes, which is odd, because watching the game the only thing I could think was “career backup.” Don’t ask that guy for anything longer than a 15-yard completion. On the other side of the ball, Brett Favre didn’t even throw an interception, so you KNOW it wasn’t a fun game to watch.
There are only two ways you cared about this game. One was you had fantasy players involved. The other is you’re a douchebag. Sorry. Facts is facts.

I did have fantasy players involved. I watched the MLS playoffs instead, and THAT was less boring than this.
Yeah, huge 3rd quarter comeback, high scoring NFL game, and a last second controversial touchdown to send the game to OT…
400+ yds passing 60+ yds rushing – I’m pretty sure quite a few NFL GMs might not agree with your “career backup” assessment.
Love the blog, but the number of ___ game was boring posts is a little much sometimes. What isn’t boring to you? World Series is. Most NFL games are. Superbowl? Was last year’s Superbowl enough excitement?
Can someone burry these cat turds already, please?
I was rooting for the asteroid but apparently that didn’t win.
Ahem…
With Leather is a blog about all the assholes and idiots in the world of sports, and the hot chicks who date them. People who get offended or take too much pride in their favorite team should probably just leave now, because I hate you already.
Oh Lord, Oh Lord, when are people gonna wise up and get Cris Collinsworth off the air. He was valedictorian of his class at the John Madden school of Idiocy.
I’d love to laugh at racist Boston sports fan right now, but then it would seem like I was happy about Brett Favre winning. I guess the only option here is genocide.
Did Brett Farve look like he was having fun out there?
I’d like to congratulate Welker and Thomas Jones for both going over 100 yards and with Jones snapping up a TD allowing me to open up an early 31 point lead.
Ok, so I’m a douchebag. Is that a crime now?
the nfl network blows. no wonder they usually get the shitty games.
