Looking forward to the opener between our teams. But with my luck our CBS affiliate will probably be showing a tiddlywinks tournament or something instead.

...gee, maybe the Browns could win at THAT!.....
I was at the game the other night. Brownies did not look good.
Tastes funny when you take it off a floater?
What makes you think that dead bodies are left to be found?
.....and they're crawdads 'round here. I don't like them, either.
I did!!You do realize you have to say it in a Goodfellas De Niro tone of voice.
You don't know whatcha talkin' 'bout. Steamed crawdads with beer goes really well with a good football game.
Would you believe that I don't like beer either?......
...you hush yer mouf missy!!!!....
What is your opinion on the usage of 'youse?' As in... Youse guys have no friggin idea how bad them Jets gonna beat their skulls in come Sunday! (sticking with the football theme n'all)
"Youse" (you's?)(yous?)(sounds like "use"?) is to "y'all" like [deleted] is to "making love." It conveys the meaning, it has a place, but it's much less elegant and has a more vulgar sound.
It's also more regional. "Y'all" prevalance goes from Virginia along the Mason-Dixon line, all points south, up into Missouri, and to the New Mexico border. And thanks to migratory patterns, you can find it everywhere in the continental U.S. Whereas "Youse" is more regional to Joisey, parts of Penn, and the Den of Arrogance (aka southern NY).
My observation, anyway. I'm open to more demonstrative evidence.
Noah Webster’s wife, returning from a long trip, discovered the lexicographer ‘flagrante delicto’ with a pretty chambermaid.
“Mr. Webster!” she gasped. “I’m surprised!”
“No my dear” said Webster with a reproving smile, “You are shocked... I am surprised.”
There are reports the Jets are fielding calls from teams interested in Geno Smith. Chicago Bears and the Dallas Cowboys because of QB injuries, and the San Francisco 49ers who are considering cutting Colin Kaepernick.
Of course he could also be proving theorems as a member of MIT's janitorial staff during his suspension.

How desperate does someone have to be to want Geno Smith as a QB?!
An awfully desperate team.
He did look good on paper at the time and Jets had Mark "ButtFumble" Sanchez QB-ing for them, so...
