The NFL

“Go Vikings!”

“The Thursday night game between the Steelers and the Tennessee Titans that opened the 2009 NFL season was the most watched NFL Kickoff since the concept’s inception, according to official national ratings data released by Nielsen Media Research.

The Steelers won the game in overtime, 13-10, and the dramatics inherent in such a contest helped the telecast draw an average audience of 20.9 million viewers. The previous high for the NFL Kickoff was the 2006 edition between the Steelers and Dolphins – the first Thursday night NFL Kickoff game on NBC – and that was seen by 19.2 million people.

As for the top metered markets for Steelers-Titans, Pittsburgh was the runaway leader with a 49.6 rating and a 70 share. The share indicates that 70 percent of the televisions in use in the Pittsburgh market last Thursday were tuned to the Steelers game.”

“I'm pretty happy with my new favorite team, the 49ers. My old favorite team, the Cowboys, started the game playing like it was December, then must have seen a calendar and played brilliantly...

I can't help but root for Favre. It's the narcissist in me I suppose.”

“I root for him cuz I like football.

70% of the people in Pittsburgh with televisions do not have a life.”

“Can't wait to see the game vs. that Pack up in Green Bay. Their defense was all over the place last night against the Bears.

If AJ Hawk can get to Favre, he will put him back on the sauce.”

“Those will be two great games this year, if Farve uses his running backs properly, they should just march up and down the field, eating up the clock. It's going to be a fun year.”

“The Pack's defense will be ready for the run. They will make Farve beat them with the pass.”

“Matt Sanchez may be the quarterback Brady Quinn wishes he was.”

“@Nimblefoot, no chance for any blacked out games in Pittsburgh, because the stadium is always sold out. As a matter of fact in August 2008, ESPN.com ranked the Steelers' fans as the best in the NFL, citing their "unbelievable" sellout streak of 299 consecutive games.”

“Did you just say Pittsburgh fans are 'sellouts'? lol.”

“No, I take it they didn't teach reading comprehension in your school.”

“well, what else is there to do in pittsburgh? watch the steel grow?”

“Go Pats! A win is a win is a win. Ugly or not.”

“Too bad Brady did not tear his other ACL.”

“can't believe the bills let the pats disrespect them like that...pats didn't win, the bills lost”

“pats didn't win, the bills lost”

Well, at least they did a good job losing!”

“So any bets on how long it will take Owens to have a melt down??”

“�So any bets on how long it will take Owens to have a melt down??�

Won't be this year.

The Pats really whallopped that kid returning the kick at the end of the game to get a fumble. Did you hear Gruden hollering for him to get down in the end zone?”

““can't believe the bills let the pats disrespect them like that...pats didn't win, the bills lost”

When I checked ESPN the Pats had one in the W column.

Haters...:)”

“Here we go STEELERS, here we go! Here we go STEELERS, here we go!! Here we go STEELERS, here we go!!!”

“WAY TO GO PATS!!!!GOOD JOB STAYING OUT OF THE END ZONE”

“Go Vikes!”

“STEELERS FIELD GOAL NO GOOD!!!”

“Darn it! Steelers didn't get it done today. Next week watch out!!!”

“Snicker.”

“WHERES YOUR GOD NOW, STEELHEADS?”

“Go Vikes!”

“Ha Ha...bears suck too!”

“I got pasted today in the office pool. Damn the spread, today was upswet day.”

“�WAY TO GO PATS!!!!GOOD JOB STAYING OUT OF THE END ZONE�

pretty freakin' amazing. Not too surprising for me, after seeing them barely squeak past the Bills in Foxboro.”

“Don't worry Ped, I'm sure Brady went home and found some way to console himself. Maybe by looking at these.

“Meanwhile in Wisconsin; redheaded clown fan tries to mouth rape Ocho Sinco after a Bengals win at Lambo...

“good weekend to be a football fan (if youre me, that is)

irish won, hoosiers won, pats lost, steelheads lost, bears won, chargers lost, cowboys lost their 1 billion dollar home opener in front of 100k people, and 2 of the colts division rivals dropped to 0-2. now all we need is for the colts to take care of business against a team that, on paper, should not be difficult to beat. well, we all know how that goes. im predicting a colts win, but it wont be easy

“Who Dat!”

“Jets are on fire.”

“Don't worry Ped, I'm sure Brady went home and found some way to console himself. Maybe by looking at these.

He could have nailed his super model of a wife as well.”

““Who Dat!” - heard on the sideline when Sean Payton hollers for the defense to take the field.

“Jets are on fire.” - I'm way more impressed with Mark Sanchez this year than last year when he was at USC.

"cowboys lost their 1 billion dollar home opener in front of 100k people" - if Romo could consistently put the ball where it's supposed to go...if somebody could catch it...”

“whats even more impressiveis that hes a rookie”

“Too bad the Cowboys lost.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha”

“Dallas, Pittsburg, New England and Green Bay on the same weekend. Good weekend for me too.”

“It's been a good weekend of upsets so I feel a little more confident saying this:

GO DOLPHINS!”

“itll figure the phins pull the upset. all the teams i like won this weekend, and all the teams i dont like lost. it would be a big karmic boner if my favorite of all lost when they were heavy favorites”

“good game so far. nice job getting into fg position at the half”

“frickin cardiac colts”

“Good game! I like the ones that go down to the wire.”

“crappin onna cracker

colts are the master of getting dominated in a game and still finding a way to win”

“friggin 'fins”

“that was piss-poor timeclock management by the phins at the end of the game. they called 1 too many running plays, and let too much time expire between plays at the start of the drive”
