It’s finally here! That joyous and wonderful week when all things become good and pure again! Week 1 of the 2008 NFL season kicks off tonight as the World Champion New York Football Giants begin the defense of their title against the ‘Skins … who says there ain’t no god?

We’ve all managed to survive yet another dark and hideous off-season replete with silly baseball fans, the meaningless borefest of the Olympics, and an endless stream of maddeningly pointless Peter King commentary. And your inconsistent and idiotic pals The Armchair Quarterbacks are ready to celebrate with a shockingly EARLY and ON-TIME episode.

In this week’s show, you’ll find out that Benglish and Peter King are alike in something other than morbid obesity. You’ll also hear Dino hedging on the fact that he believes that Dallas will rocket through the ‘08 campaign to a Super Bowl title (yes, like all Cowboys fans, Dino is full of shit).

And of course there’s the usual offensive commentary, half-assed “analysis” (emphasis on the “anal”), and hard-to-follow conversation that makes AQB one of the Inter-web’s most unlistenable podcasts. So sit back, relax and enjoy the cackling, moronic NFL hatefest that makes up Show #42 of The Armchair Quarterbacks!

As you know, we were late due to technical reasons on Friday. Unfortunately for you, those problems have been fixed, and now you have full access to what is by far one of our worst shows … EVER. This tragic bit of audio will make you wonder why we bothered to waste the power of modern technology to post it.

The Paraguayan Javelin Chick seen here was a big topic of conversation during this week’s show, which should give you an idea of just how bad this show is. But you’ll also meet Vinnie the Jets fan for the first time, which should give you a laugh or too … as long as you’re not easily offended.
Hopefully, we’ll have a new show up this Friday. And on that show you can hear Benglish moaning about the Giants loss of Osi for the season while Dino titters with barely contained glee. And then you will hear the actual sound of Dino’s trachea being ripped out. So that should be fun for all. Stay tuned.

Also, please let us know if you’re interested in staring a listener Fantasy League. We’ve had some responses, but not enough, and time is running out! If you guys could please post to the site to let us know if you’d like to be a part of it, we’ll set up an online draft ASAP. Could be good for a few laughs. And who knows? Maybe — just maybe — it could help prevent the show from sucking again.

OK, probably not. But let’s try anyway.

In the meantime, buckle in for a rollicking borefest of quasi-football related crap (WHEN WILL THE REGULAR SEASON GET HERE!?), also known as Show #41 of The Armchair Quarterbacks!

OK, we’re lying. There were technical issues that got in the way of posting this week’s show. We did record a show. No, really. We did. And that show will be posted - funny bits and all - this coming Monday, August 25th. So the fact that you have nothing to download has nothing to do with Gene Upshaw’s death. We just figured we’d be like our heroes at ESPN and jump on the “Upshaw’s dead” bandwagon, and fill every conceivable football segment with tributes to Upshaw, talk of Upshaw, waxing poetic about Upshaw, and reflections on the life of Upshaw by - who else? - Peter fucking King.

Yeah, it’s a bummer that Upshaw died. He was, no doubt, a great player and as head of the NFLPA did things that forged the modern game. And his input will definitely be missed during the incredibly critical negotiations over the NFL’s new collective bargaining agreement. But did Upshaw’s unexpected passing delay the show? Of course not.

In fact, immediately upon hearing of Upshaw’s demise, Dino went out and bought cupcakes - and not the garden-variety kind of cupcakes, either - the fancy ones with the cream in the middle.

In case you haven’t guessed, Dino is one coldblooded motherfucker.

The bottom line? You’ll all have to wait until Monday to download the latest chunk of NFL-based hilarity that we’ve dreamed up for you good folks. We hope you’ll be patient with us. We’re really busy with the cupcake buying and all. It’s been hell.

Stay tuned! Thanks for checking for the show! And check back on Monday, August 25th for the latest episode of the worst NFL podcast on the worldwide Intranet thing - The Armchair Quarterbacks!
