Philip and NORV! are probably going to need one of these by halftime. Hi folks. Here's an open thread for Bolts-Colts, as you watch the douchebag Philip Rivers, LDT, and the greatness that is NORV! take on Peyton & Co. in the RCA Dome. (I think I've already made it very clear who I'm pulling for.) Your announcers today are the CBS 2nd team: Greg Gumbel and Dan Dierdorf; while much ...
TD or not TD? That was the question, CBS —
Sports stories from Newsday
I'd have mentioned this in my Tuesday newspaper column if it weren't for the fact it is kind of full of Giants stuff, but . . .
I thought Dan Dierdorf could have done a better job on CBS Sunday of analyzing the pros and cons of Tony Dungy's decision to go for a touchdown rather than a field goal trailing by four points with two minutes and three timeouts left.
Greg Gumbel tried to ...
Philip Rivers as Chachi from Happy Days —
The World of Isaac

Its almost a cross between "guy who got picked on when he was little" and "angry drunken frat guy".

Chargers Beat Indy on Pure Heart! —
San Diego Chargers

The defense came up big at the end. The backups played their tails off. This team overcame adversity. This team that everyone in the national media had given up on about 10 minutes after the game against Tennessee ended ...

The Big Lead
Here we are for Game 3 of Round 2 in the Divisional Playoffs. It’s the Chargers at the Colts. You know the history between the two teams. This is a game that will be packed with hard hit after hard hit. If I had my way, WWE play-by-play man Jim Ross would be calling the game for CBS.
If you like defense and Dan Dierdorf, this is the game for you. There will be injuries, blood and ...
Simms & Dierdorf —
Extra Points
CBS analysts Phil Simms and Dan Dierdorf shared their thoughts on the Jaguars-Patriots matchup on a conference call today.
Here is some of what they had to say, courtesy of CBS' media relations department:
Phil Simms
(On Jacksonville) "If they're looking for a physical football game, they're going to the right spot. The Patriots love the action. I always say be afraid of the people ...
