Sunday NFL Countdown Drinking Game for October 3rd, 2010

Hey everyone, after a long hiatus ADM is back!. And in our first new weekly feature we're coming up with a drinking game for every week for either NFL sunday Countdown or ESPN College Gameday, and this week we're starting out at the professional level.

Drink- Every time they mention "Philly Fans" "Booing" and "Donovan McNabb" "Andy Reid (also eat a McGriddle)"

Jesus, can this story go away? Who cares if they boo him? Fans of any Philadelphia sports team don't really need much of an excuse to boo ANYTHING. Should they boo him? No, the most accomplished member of that franchise said before he was traded that he wanted to finish out his career there and at the end of the day it was fromt office decision (one that lead to them drafting NFL defensive rookie for the month of september Nate Allen). I also wouldn't blame anyone for booing him, His remarks that came out in the following months made it feel like he was pushed out the door (which, maybe he was) and making it seem like no one ever supported him during his tenure. Look, no one supported AJ Feeley, He sucked and was 3rd on the depth chart behind Koy Deitmer, You were the face of a franchise for a decade, even though a vocal minority of fans never had faith in you, there were a lot of us that did, and now that it's over, it's time to move on.

Drink- when they mention "Dez Bryant" "Dinner" "Rookie Hazing" and "Economy"

As was pointed out by ESPN's Adam Schefter, Dez Bryant's base Salary is 320,000, that dinner tab he paid for his teammates? $55,000. 17% of the money the guy knows he's gonna make that year? gone because some fat fuck linemen decided it was funny to make the rookie pay for it. Besides the fact that the guy has a 5-Year 11.8 million dollar contract (8.5 of which is guaranteed, which is something of a misnomer because there are no guaranteed contracts in the NFL and in all likelihood we're gonna be facing a lock-out next season) his contract is bonus heavy, I have the guy on my fantasy team, and a lot of you who may have drafted him will also know he's not doing anyone a lot of favors right now, including himself (158 yrds receiving and 0 TD's, if your league counts return yards and return TD's you're in a pussy league.)

Drink- at the mention of "Anquan Boldin" "Joe Flacco" "NFL Record"
I might be mentioning this because Boldin and I are both FSU alums. But last week he beat Marvin Harrison's mark for 600 career receptions by 4 games. You figure on average teams throw the ball about 20 times a game, and in Arizona he wasn't even the #1 target and missed several games because of that scary hit to the dome he took in '08 that resulted in him having a steel plate in his head while a member of the Buzzsaw that is the Arizona Cardinals, he could have theoretically done this last year. Now as a member of a team that for a lot of years was thought of as a run first team (Jamaal Lewis, Willis McGahee Ray Rice) him and Donte Stallworth are two weapons that make the Ravens a serious contender in the AFC again.

Drink- at the mention of "Garrett Hartley" "Matt Bryant" "John Carney" "Sean Peyton mistake" CHUG if- "Boomer shrugs when talking about kickers"

The Saints and Falcons game last week went into overtime where Garrett Hartley missed a 29-yard FG attempt, The Falcons then take possession, march downfield, line up for the field goal, field goal is blocked, however, Sean Peyton (the saints coach) attempted to "ice" the kicker and called a time out before the snap, Falcons line up again after the TO, Falcons are penalized for a false start, back up 5 yards, line up again, kick field goal, win game. That happened in the span of 30 seconds (of game clock, so 15 min real time).

and of course, at 10 pm on AMC there is the Mad Men Drinking Game.
