Chris Mortenson reported that Tony Romo would be the 3rd quarterback this morning on ESPN.

Jay Glazer said that the report on another network was incorrect and Romo will be the backup.

Now ESPN has changed their story, that sources close to Ed Werder report that Romo will be backup.

"The Buffalo Bills will be headed to London after this game to take on the New Orleans Saints. If you were the Chargers, would you be concerned dealing with this long trip?" - Greg Gumbel, confused as to what team's leaving the country.

"being 0-6 has hit them across head" - Kevin Harlan on the Bengals

"theyve been inconsistent in all phases" - Rich Gannon, no being 0-6 means yourre consistently bad

"theyre in a tight bunch" - Gannon
on the Steelers formation

Ack. Power outage in Buffalo! (or some such)

Charissa is fantastic. So much better than EA.

I was supposed to get G-Men/9ers, and was looking forward to seein my boy VD now that he's healthy... But Fox decided to show the Roy Williams Monopoly instead.

And CBS with the MIA "Paper Planes" Remix at the bump... Theres no way Macatee or Beurlein had any idea what it was.

Brandon Jacobs is hard to tackle, but the Niners suck at tackling too.

7-0, G-men.

The Juggernaut is awake. 7-0, G-Men.

Sam Rosen as Fox goes to commercial: "Lions and Bears the rivalry continues..."

I know my Vikings are struggling, but please don't call them the Lions, Sam. Also, Charissa made was on screen a bit ago, sporting the glasses...HOT.

Macatee is the CBS Joe Buck...
In the most mundane voice ever.
"Here come the Dolphins. [Pause. Pause. Pause.] Sack. [Pause. Pause. Pause.] Fumble."

Then, "We have the Wild Cat and now the option- we're going back in time."

somebody pay the power bill in buffalo.

I have heard the word "penetration" in the Ravens/Fins game at least 6 times already.

why is WPGH in Pittsburgh showing the Cowboys opposite the Steelers, aren"t they supposed to show the late game Taxans-Lions.. At least they might get some audience for that game, everyone in PGH is watching the STeelers at 1pm.. Is the 506.com site not working

Kenny Albert on the time Bulger has in the pocket, while watching the replay...
"One thousand-1, one thousand-2... one thousand-7. That's eight seconds."

anybody wanna get me a screengrab of thompson today?

If youre 0-6, maybe the punter should have had plenty of practice, but Cincy's just had a 15 yd shank.

"Rothlesberger is like a young Brett Favre" - Gannon, so does that mean in 15 yrs we get the annual retirement drama ?

If you have Brandon Jacobs on your fantasy team, you're having a good day so far.

14-0, Big Blue.

Nobody wants to watch Lions-Texans

excuse me, 14-3. Nedney did kick an FG earlier.

Okay, a 76 yard run by a punter?

Another wonderful job by FOX. Coming back late and we miss the Juggernaut's 2nd TD of the day.

Chad Pennington was just called "The most accurate QB in NFL history."

It doesn't matter what game I watch, there is a clock malfunction.

And then Chad threw a TD pass... To the guys in purple.
T-Sizzle housed it, and Frank Walker has the best non-scoring player celebration ever, jumping up and sitting on Suggs's shoulders for about 20 seconds.

What exactly is "Out-Physicaled", Mr. Stockton?

2 TD's for the Bears DST already...and Hester was involved in neither of them.

"Usually, rookie wide receivers aren't that up for contact, but [Josh Morgan] is taking cheap shots already." - Aikman

Beurlein: "There was a penalty called. We couldn't hear what it was."

That's because he was too busy not shutting the hell up. And the worst part was half of it was stuttering.

1:30 left in 1st half, and Cincy just ran its first play in Steelers territory. When does the Marvin Lewis getting fired pool start ?

"Hochuli had an interesting call a couple of weeks ago. " - Harlan and he was referencing Saints / Vikings, not the Broncos / Chargers

Who would have picked Chicago-Minny as an offensive shootout. 27-24 Bears at half.

Hope you can get this screen grab: At the end of the brief time CBS did broadcast the Bills-Chargers game, they showed a fan with a great "Unplug the Chargers!" sign -- and then the power went out again, and the network is back to Steelers-Benglas.

The still image of that sign hung frozen on the screen before the network blacked out, so I hope someone catches it...

"They just ground the ball out on the ground." -Beurlein

Haha, James Brown is doing play-by-play of Chargers/Bills in the studio!

"Hello everyone, Greg Gumbel, Dan Dierdorf here. We're gonna talk really fast before the power goes out again." - Gumbel

Break up the Rams!

"Fred Jackson gets stoned." - Greg Gumbel

Niners just blocked a FG, returned for TD and a Niner player at midfield was celebrating, while Nate Clemens was still 20 yds from end zone

LOL..

Tony Siragusa: The Rams better not let this team (the Cowboys) get some confidence or momentum or they COULD lose this game.
*With less than 3 mins left in the 3rd quarter and a score of 31-7*

I love how home markets never get switched to better games during blowouts; stuck watching 31-7 Rams and 27-0 Titans leads

LENDALE WHITE IS SITTING ON MY BENCH WITH 3 TDS.

Fuck me.

"The Niners are not the team the Giants are"


"Coaches dont like penalties"
- Aikman employing the power of understatement

I think Gus Johnson nearly blew a gasket calling Chris Johnson's TD run to make it 34-3.

"Let's take a look here at Tyler Thigpen showing off his great legs." - Gus Johnson

Thanks Fox for not taking those of us watching the Giants-49ers game to the end of the Vikings-Bears game....

"He's an unselfish player. Talk about a position with selfish players." - Rich Gannon on Steelers WR Hines Ward

And the Titans had a bye week...playing the Chefs. BYE!

I'm thinking Tim Brown and Gannon don't exchange Christmas cards.
