Yes. He did curse. Something that ESPN gives no shits about.

Bill might not meet your standards, but he is not pretentious and he is still rather funny and clever. Far from a blowhard.

He's not for everybody at all times.

I've ridden the roller coaster of hating and loving the same reporters including stephen A, Jay Mariotti, CCowheard, and even Kruck.

Bill can some off as a jerk, but he means what he says. He's an expert in oration in my eyeballs.

Now MIKE & MIKE. What a turd that is.

I'll watch this one. By far my favorite rivalry in the NFL.

Defense was horrid today - not having Allen didn't help, Conte was still clearly not himself, and some really disgusting calls including 2 personal fouls on 3rd downs that turned punts into first downs and both were not penalties - even per the announcers. A holding penaly on a field goal that turned into a touchdown (this one was a legit hold, but as the announcer said...that happens on every single field goal try and is rarely called unless much more egregious).

The Bennet non-touchdown at the end of the half probably should have been a touchdown, but hard to overturn the call on the field.

The onside kick that was executed perfectly ... except the part where you fall on it.

The Jordy Nelson first down that was clearly a full yard short.

A lot of things went poorly today.

However, as my dad always says, "Son, how good to do you have to be? (pauses) Good enough to beat the other team and the refs." Today we weren't.

Conte is pretty bad most of the time. They have been calling for his head awhile now. He constantly misses assignments.

Conte doesn't miss assignments, at least not more or less than the majority of safeties, the issue is he tries to tackle the ball, sometimes when it isn't a good situation (ie, last line of defense), or he just gets run over, but once or twice a game, almost every game, he does something that explains why he is a starter in the NFL. When he's gimpy, like today, he's beyond useless.
