The How Many Times Can Ram Be Wrong Thread

Sorry Ram but anyone that knew Howard Cosell knew he was a heavy drinker. Al Michaels had so many stories almost half of the content of a book he wrote was about his drinking. I remember this story from when I was growing up.

Cosell and I worked together on a number of Monday Night Baseball games in the late 1970s. Our pairing became more regular in ’81, the year that the players went on strike in the middle of the season. Days before the work stoppage we were in Kansas City for a *Monday-night game between the Yankees and the Royals. Cosell and I both arrived at the Alameda Plaza Hotel on Sunday afternoon. The phone rang in my room, and I heard that unmistakable voice: “Alfalfa. What are you doing?”

Of course it was Cosell, using the nickname that Bob Uecker had conferred on me. “Nothing,” I said. “What’s up?”

“Dinn-uh. Let’s go to the Savoy Grill for dinn-uh.”

As usual, he consumed four or five glasses of vodka on the rocks before the food came. Cosell could hold his liquor very well, but by the end of dinner he’d had an aquarium’s worth.

In Kansas City the basic limos of the company that ABC used were stark white and twice the average size. We also had a regular driver there, a woman in her mid-50s named Peggy. Cosell and I finished dinner around 8:45, still twilight. We got into the backseat of the limo, and Peggy began to drive us back to the hotel. The route took us through a gritty neighborhood, and soon we came to a traffic light. On the sidewalk to our left we saw two boys, maybe 16 or 17 years old, in a serious fistfight, surrounded by other teenagers egging them on. Cosell opened his door and began to get out of the limo. Peggy screamed, “Mr. Cosell! Mr. Cosell! No!” I tried to grab him. It was too late. He was out of the car and onto the sidewalk.

I had a wife, an 11-year-old son and a seven-year-old daughter. Would I really fight a pack of teenagers to stick up for Howard Cosell? Should I tell Peggy to drive away? There were no cellphones in 1981; you couldn’t call a cop. Cosell was standing on the corner -- toupee on his head, cigar dangling from his mouth, ridiculous yellow blazer making him impossible not to notice. Suddenly the fight stopped. The kids looked at him dumbfounded, their eyes and mouths wide open. It was as if everyone was thinking, What the #%$*&?

Then Cosell spoke: “Now listen. It’s quite apparent to this trained observer that the young southpaw does not have a jab requisite for the continuation of this fray. Furthermore, his opponent is a man of inferior and diminishing skills. This confrontation is halted posthaste!”

Total silence followed. Then one kid said, “Howard Cosell? Howard Cosell!” An instant later they were all dancing around him as if he were a maypole. From somewhere a pen was produced, and Cosell signed autographs and patted the kids on their heads.

Reality officially had been suspended.

Cosell then reentered the limo and leaned back against the headrest in total satisfaction. Peggy was still in a state between shock and disbelief. I was just happy to be alive.

Peggy drove off, and about a block down the street she said, “Mr. Cosell, excuse me, but I have to tell you something. I have been driving for 25 years. I thought I had seen everything! I have never seen anything like that.”

Cosell took a long drag on his cigar. He looked straight ahead. “Pegaroo,” he said, “just remember one thing. I know who I am.”

1) Seattle is beating Cleveland

2) Neither the Rams or the Bucs will be playing for a playoff spot.

The Seahawks and whomever is 2nd in the NFC North are getting in.

since The Jets won tonight, I had to change my picks for the week.
I believe the final outcome/playoff setting may be closer to this.

of course this blows up if Seahawks win but I really dont think they are supposed to. Like I said, that just eliminates everyone for 2 weeks... and that's boring.

we shall see..but that loses a lot of fan interest for many teams for two weeks and I really dont think the league likes that.

wrong.

if Rams and Bucs win their next two games while Seattle loses the next 3(Sunday/ tomorrow)....the final Sunday has them all eligible depending on who wins other games.(Dallas could get Rams in)

now Soulja,..isnt that just too easy? all being decided in week 15 with 32 more glorious NFL games left?

Seattle would just win tomorrow and whether they won or lose the next 2 games,they would just keep the same fifth seed.
That's just not good business. Its not entertaining.

Is Mark Goldburg an alias? A few the images have your psychotic writing on them so I am guessing fantasy Wrestling name or you just borrowed it from one of your victims.

Also what kind of crack is Ram, Percy, Mark smoking thinking Carolina is going to lose two of the next three games?

Beckham Jr. = WWE

no one would act that way in front of thousands of people with the season on the line.....unless he was told to.
its too over the top. Its too blatant.

when the Patriots were pursuing an undefeated season,you heard about it day and night and everywhere.
The Panthers are still 3rd page unimportant news and they mention it in passing here and there.

Seriously?

Why hasn't anyone gotten in Doug Baldwin's ear? He's the most productive receiver in the NFL right now, yet when he scores a TD, he flips the ball to the ref.

I thought Bucs had this one. But the nfl is doing one better. They are making it so the Bucs and the Rams can play for a playoff spot in the final week.
Seattle plays Cleveland this weekend...of course its natural to think Seattle should win it But if Seattle wins that game,they dont have to win the last two weeks and they dont lose a spot. Just a 5 or six seed depending on winning or losing the next two game.
that of course would be boring and I really dont think the NFL wants that. I'm going against all conventional wisdom and taking Cleveland.

Wrong again dinkus magee

http://i5.walmartimages.com/dfw/dce0...5b711c6.v1.jpg

wowzers! thats fascinating...
they actually want to lead people on that Seattle still has a chance to get back to SB even before week 17.
Yes, I was wrong about that scenario but I know they will lose in the first round.
and I also know that if you picked the opposite teams to win in week 15 and 16 that the same desired set up happens for week 17.
in other words I know that the games I got wrong this week just means I have to pick the opposite next week of what I originally intended and I'll be fine.
I am going to get back the games I lost because I know which ones youll pick next week.
I know the Vikings will be in the Conference championship because they are hosting the SB next year with their new stadium ( the same circumstances as the Cardinals and 49ers in the past that you deny as another coincidence)
JB and CLW ,try and get your picks in so I can compare reasons for selection.

Chargers did win but I still find it odd that you picked them. I guess you think the point spread is some kind of gospel even though you keep getting screwed by it.

I know who will be in the conference championships. I just need to figure out the combination they intend to get there with.



the funny thing is...if Cleveland would have won you still would have bought it as real with your 'any given Sunday bullshit'...but since I said it would happen and it didnt,therefore I dont know what i'm talking about....?
That makes you intellectually inept hypocrites.

its staged regardless of outcome. I'm fascinated that you are so defensive and need desperately to believe its real, Without the slightest understanding of deception and propaganda.



in any case,stay safe and
Merry Christmas!

And still undefeated, with the Falcons and Bucs left on their schedule. They just beat the Falcons 38-0 a few weeks ago so good luck finding those two losses.

Anything to shut these guys up would be fan-fucking-tastic.

And again ram, where is your proof that it's staged? You have never once provided any kind of anything from any kind of credible source that clearly ppints to professional sports being staged. You have failed to do that and any time a legit source proves you wrong, you deny them.

You are the one that wants to believe they're all staged. You've brainwashed yourself into believing it's staged because you want it to be fake. Just accept it that you are wrong on this.

This Cardinals/Eagles game is hella dramatic http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/12...82981423c2.jpg

WWE

Odell is out but I still think Giants win so the week matters.
I know guys can't handle it but the fight was staged. Norman didn't even fall down

you of course believe all the brain spasms both teams are having during the final minute of the Eagles- Redskins game in the first half.
No one is that stupid,that often unless they are told to do it.

if they actually want Washington to win this game...I guess they intend to have Minn. lose to Steelers in the SB or have Seattle get there to lose to Steelers...?

I knew Minn. would go deep in playoffs. Building a new stadium and hosting the SB Next year...but I figured they would lose to NY in the nfc Championship.

this is odd. But it is after all for the owners and not for you.

If you believe all the stuff happening at the end of the Falcons game with the penalties stopping the clock to give the panthers a supposed chance to keep people glued to the screen.
You believe in fairy tales

The back pedaling in these last few posts is great. "This team will win.....well I guess they wanted this scenario instead....oops, I mean I mean they wanted this to happen......well I knew this would happen(after the fact of course)
