We're baaaack! And so is Hard Knocks, baby
B.’s highlights from the first episode:
1) Rex Ryan is the best TV personality of all time. He is incredible. Like when he knocks on the door where Revis should be, and he’s like “Hello? Hello?”
2) There is a practice in the rain, and they do this slow-mo shot of hot Sanchez all wet and sexy.
3) They shoot the Jets management driving to Revis negotiation, but ...

It's going to 11
Week 11. Nearly three months into this injury-laden season, and with the exception of New Orleans, there is not one team I can truly get behind sitting atop their division. And insult to injury, neither the Giants nor the Jets seem likely to have much of a post-season. So now what?
I’m still liking Pittsburgh and Green Bay, two teams that always provide marquee Sunday entertainment....
NY in Crisis
Just watched the first few series of the Jets game…things are not looking good. And don’t get me started on the Giants, no team could use a bye more.
What is wrong? Both teams’ early seasons sang with hope, more Ws and great moments than anyone could have anticipated. And then over the last several weeks, the wheels have fallen off ye olde NY cart. Is it that this city can only...

7 week itch
Here we are, almost two months into the regular season, and it seems I know absolutely nothing about the NFL. Last week’s NY losses baffle and befuddle and make me question my belief in a benevolent god.
But when uncertainty abounds, I go back to basics, so this week I’m back and picking New York across the board (including the Yankees to clinch the division tonight). The Jets will...

Monday Night ...
… Game Pick Genius Desperation.
Here’s what we’re picking tonight. (Don’t ask us about Giants or Jets, or for that matter that Pats score, because you’ll just get a terse “no comment” at best.)
FIMB R.: Broncos
FIMB B.: Broncos
Little M: Chargers (21 to a Broncos score of 19, if you’re into specifics)
ESPN Expert (Adam Schefter): Broncos
Dog:...
5-0 Smackdown
Greetings from B. in Montego Bay, Jamaica!
Despite a gorgeous Caribbean sunrise, my first thought upon waking was…Can the Giants beat the Saints? The answer: yes. Although turncoat Phil Simms picked the Saints. Et tu, Phil?
Also feeling the Jets will make minced meat of the Bills, despite that heartbreaking MNF loss against the Dolphins. And seriously hoping the Ravens will upset the 5-0...
Late MNF picks...
Forgive us for the tardy picking:
B: Jets
R: Jets
The Dog: Dolphins
Little M: Jets 20, Dolphins 16
Ditka: Dolphins
And we’re only 5 minutes in….Not bad.
OBAMA IS THE FIRST FAN
And he just name-checked Sanchez….Viva la Mexico!
We speak Sanchez!
So he wants to go to South America or Mexico City to learn his mother tongue (hmmm, tongue). But whatevs, he may not speak Spanish, yet, but we speak Sanchez. Go Jets! J-E-T-S! JETS! JETS! JETS!

FIMB B.: 1
Dog: 0

“When you find yourself down 21-0 on the road—”
– And then we stopped reading. That’s quite enough from you, Phillip Rivers.
Week 4: One month in!!
RAVENS! RAVENS! RAVENS! And I look forward to this man serving the Patriots a slice of humble pie. Foxboro is not an easy place to win, but I definitely have my eye on this burgeoning Baltimore dynasty. And I am crushing on Harbaugh. He’s kind of hot, no?
Also picking the Giants, the Jets over the Saints (and this is by far the most fraught in terms of nerves - the Rookie wunderkind vs....

Already sweating...
Jets and Saints smackdown this weekend is giving me all kinds of anxiety. I’m not saying I need a Xanax or anything, but well, I kind of do. Then I picked up the Post, and I took one.

Week 3, you magical beast (plus Cats concerns)
So it’s week 3 and the Brooklyn weather is making it really feel like football season, sunny and cool, and we sense the scent of Buffalo wings…but we digress.
FIRST UP: Today’s game. The Northwestern Wildcats. It’s been nearly 15 years since their Cinderella season, and not much has changed. Last week’s final-seconds loss to Syracuse had me scratching my head. At...

The Night We Met the S.B. XXI M.V.P.
We met this dude on Monday night. He wasn’t exactly smiling like this, but that’s OK. Let’s just say that Mr. Simms has that “dark” sense of humor. We were thoroughly entertained by his rants… I mean, insight into things such as the Wildcat formation, Mark Sanchez, Jon Gruden (cough, cough), how good it feels to be on the football field, and Boomer...
Is it Sunday yet?
I just woke up sad that I have to wait 4 days for Sunday. How to fill my time? —B., from my bed in Brooklyn

J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS
Also I’m picking the Jets and the Giants to win tomorrow. I hate Romo, I hate Brady, I love Eli and I love Sanchez. I will work on making that into a haiku once I’m back on the East Coast.

The Mark Schlereth Positivity Hour
Enjoy the smile while it lasts.
We’re avid watchers of NFL Live, and quite like listening to Trey Wingo and co. recap, preview, and generally sound off about the week’s games and player news. At first we thought Mark Schlereth was a sensible, no-nonsense guy with good insight and the balls to call things like they are. But after weeks of this in the off-season, and more in the pre-season, we...

The Kid is Winning. And Brady is an Ass.
Apologies for not posting yesterday but we were simply too sad after our game-watching on Monday Night. We needed to mourn.
We almost had it in the Bills-Pats game. And we were devastated by the end result. How dare Tom Brady come back like that. (Also: How dare Belichick wear his regular cut-off hoodie when everyone else played ball in the throwback uniforms. Another also!: How dare Tom Brady...

FIMB's MNF Game Picks Genius
In what will be a regular feature on FIMB, we make our picks, and also invite a 6-year-old girl, a dog, and an ESPN expert (which we’ll rotate, just for kicks) to weigh in alongside us. (At the end of the season, this highly scientific study will prove who is the best football genius.)
Excuse our lateness tonight, but without further ado …
Patriots vs. Bills
FIMB B. picks BILLS
...
And they’re tied. We don’t like baby-mama-leaving Tom Brady or the cut-off-sweatshirt-wearing Bill Belichick. Sorry!
Go Bills! Great TD. Awesome start.
Sanchez has opening game to believe in...
A fantastic opener for America’s Next Top QB (and sexpants) Mark Sanchez. His post-game interview demonstrated that this kid is wise and skilled beyond his years, and he has the game ball to prove it. Nice work, Jets!

Watching the Game Tonight? Hell, Yeah. Tweetin'... →
Come and join us on Twitter at 8:30 pm EST for a whole lot of Terrible Towels vs. Tennessee Titans talk.
(We promise we’ll be tanked, too, but only because it helps us with this alliteration.)
Shopping? Don't Insult Us.
If you live in New York City or read Vogue, or give one shit about fashion, you probably heard about this big shopping extravaganza, Fashion’s Night Out, taking place on this 10th day of September, one of the holiest days of the year.
When we first heard about it, we thought “hmm, we like cocktails, and we like to buy shoes and lipstick, maybe we should go to one of these...

Week One: B. Has Big Ben on the Brain.
What’s on B.’s mind on the eve of the 2009 Season Opener.
I want to hate the Steelers, but I can’t and I’m looking for them to win tomorrow despite their loss to the Titans after their most recent matchup last December. Home-field advantage with all those terrible towels, Big Ben is back and healthy, and coming off a Superbowl victory? Steelers, natch.
Can’t wait...

A certain Maxim contributor (cough, cough) wrote this kick-ass (har har) piece on punters and other dudes with thankless positions but much significance.

Welcome to FIMB!
Bookmark us, follow us, spread the word about us, and come talk football with us!
We love football. We love football so much we’d marry it if we could. We love the players, the play-making, the drama, the tension, the touchdowns, and the wings. We love the wings. We also love to drink beer and scream obscenities at Phillip Rivers and Tom Brady and Bill Belichick.
Since we do this all...
