AAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Nothing like that beginning of the year homerism/optimism, eh Joisey. You crack me up!

Hey, would it really be that surprising?

Don't worry, the Cleveland series goes like this:

1-10: Dilfer pass intended for TE Heiden INTERCEPTED by B. Simmons, 40 yards, touchdown

Simmons is too overrated to do something like that.

Naw, Dilfer will move the ball 1/2 way down the field before Tory James "gets lucky" and intercepts the ball.

Is this supposed to be a fun excercise?

Here's what you oughta do:

On Sunday, head to your favorite sports bar/restruarant, preferrably a Damon's or BW3's.

Ask the waiter for a game pad. They're blue and look like mini-laptops.

Play the game where you can determine the play before it starts.

Rack up points.

Have fun.

Win stuff.

Wow! With Brat coordinating such a predictable offense, this is a great money making scheme. Thanks for the tip.

You guys have never played QB3 before? Trust me, it's a BLAST.

The premise is that you need to pick RUN vs. PASS prior to the snap of the ball. You get positive points for being right and negative for being wrong, and 0 for not picking or pre-snap penalties. Some nuances of the game: The more picks you get correct in a row, the higher the value of being right. Also you can attempt to be more specific (Right, Center, Left for all plays, Backfield, Short, and Long for Pass plays) to accrue more points. Once each drive you can select "Game Breaker", and get rewarded triple points for a 1st down and mega-points for a touchdown.

Statistics are kept in the venue and nation-wide for Home Team, Visitor Team, and Entire Game.

Best of all . . . . .it's free (unless you bet beers). They do college on Saturdays (very tough), 2 NFL games Sunday, and there's a National Contest for Monday Night games through the year. HAVE FUN!
