Yes, Yes: It's a New Template
Things have been hard for us this off-season. The winter arrived late, after February 4th. The cold re-doubled its efforts as we left Miami and the Super Bowl in our chronological rearview mirror, and here in New York City, the home of NFL headquarters, the snow persisted until mid-March. It was heavy with symbolism, representative of the milieu of NFL fans and KSK bloggers while basketball seasons trudged on, and hockey was played somewhere.
We had our moments, naturally. The mock drafts were a hell of a lot of fun, of course. And Big Daddy Drew presciently planned for a series of pot-fueled adventures for Michael Vick, even before Vick's water bottle incident at the airport began the most troubled offseason for a star player in history. Well, at least since Ray Lewis killed those people. But that was before Goodell's watch.
Anyway, the point is, we realize that we've been lazy and off-topic and generally uninspired.
But happenings are afoot. Play around in the archives, and you'll see that our momentous one-year anniversary is ticking ever closer. We've got some plans to have fun with it -- who doesn't like a birthday party? -- but more importantly, we're breathing down the neck of training camp. Hell, by my unscientific calculations, the beginning of the NFL season is less than a mere calendar season away.
Which brings us to the new template, the work of our own Monday Morning Punter. You can love it or hate it, but you're bound to get used to it. We happen to enjoy the sheen of pseudo-professionalism, the way the lettering stands out on the dark background, making for an easier read. Also nice: we no longer have to secretly swear vengeance upon other bloggers who choose to use our retired Template #897. And I can't speak for everyone on this one, but I know I'm a little more inspired now that the Patron Matron Saint and Broadway Joe are looking down on us from the header every day.
And that, friends, is enough to give me a bounce in my step as we continue this interminable march toward the second NFL season on Kissing Suzy Kolber's watch. So get your fantasy draft boards ready, and psyche yourself up for a new round of Peyton Manning commercials: KSK is going to stop sucking -- sometime in the next three months, but probably sooner.

Amen. Please be sure to humiliate my Chargers this year, as they were Bengals Lite last season and they were let off the hook. After the playoff debacle from January... they deserve that kind of attentiond. We've got guys who sell codeine, fake shoes, and punch their girlfriends. And we were supposed to win the super bowl last year. Funny how things work out sometimes.
Digging the new layout.
What's with the Hitler youth in the stadium photo sidebars though?

And by "we've", he really means "Matt Ufford has"
Much more gooder without the blue.
Three cheers to sudsyboy for the redesign.
And by "we've", he really means "Matt Ufford has"
+1 Drew.
You can do the math, but I think I've been much more productive this offseason than I was through Weeks 1 through 17 last year.
Also, it's not really a new template...
Matron saint.
i'm assuming that the birthday celebration includes the glorious return of one footsteps falco.
Amen, CC.
during the season you should change the color scheme to represent a predetermined "team of the week," that would be tits.
Eh, I'm color blind anyway.
you guys have been writing this whole offseason?
yeah, once your eyes adjust...I guess
still no way to take the word verification out of the hands of the retarded monkeys though, huh
I like the new color scheme and it does remind me of The Matrix a bit, but without all of the kung fu and shooting 'n stuff.
Hey, UM does this new template mean that you can't mess up the font size when you post?
And kinda off topic, but did CC mention his appearance on Fox News a few weeks back? Somebody's making power moves on the DL there...
Yeah, I think it is "Matron" saint. Unless I'm missing some shitty ettiquette title thing, like it's always "Chairman" even if said Chairman is a woman.
This sucks, change it back.
it's better than the 2012 london olympics logo. i suggest no one look at the new template when on extascy.
Somebody's making power moves on the DL there...
Ufford's dating A-Rod?
change scares me.
becky, WV is a small price to pay to share your wit & wisdom with the world
I appreciate that you're using snapshots from Dolphin Stadium for the background.
Can you figure out a way to have that camera flash/night vison goggle sound effect when the page loads? That would be sweet....
flub, I can't tell if that was a dig at me...or all? of us?
uh...I'll go w/ the latter
Loving the new layout. At the risk of getting banned I will say 2 things:
1. The backdrop of the stadium looks like a scene from the Matrix Trilogy.
2. the old layout looked like the North Korean flag.
Devang, I have no problem with either of those comments.
we realize that we've been lazy and off-topic and generally uninspired. . .
I'm surprised it took BDD three comments to respond to this. I thought for sure there was gonna be smoke coming out of the screen
And you might want to rethink the puke green/yellow tinge to the sides and at the top, otherwise . . . nice look.
becky, no dig-- but I admire your cynicism
This is the best MS Paint job ever.
@devang:
I posted that Matrix comment last night in the thread before this. And I'm still alive, so don't worry.
@matt,
Yeah I saw that after I posted my comment. Sorry to repeat.
the new template is also better than last nights sopranos.
I kinda like the new look; the green is a little jarring, but it's just around the margins, so no problem.
RE Sopranos: my ending would have been better. Maybe they're anticipating a Sopranos movie at some point in the future.
The green hurts my head a little, but it's nothing some cheerleader pictures won't distract me from.
This is the worst obstructed view seat ever.
can we turn this into a sopranos blog for the day or something, considering there is nothing entertaining for us to make fun of in the sports world right now. We need Jeff Garcia to come out or Annika Sorenstam to do beastiality porn or some shit
Sopranos: I heard on the radio this morning that everyone in the restaurant at the end was related to someone that Tony (or someone close to Tony) had previously killed. Anyone know anything more about that?
I just heard the same thing, Matt:
Not sure if this is true, but I just read online that the random characters at the end were all recurring cameos: the trucker was the brother of the guy who was robbed by Christopher in Season 2 for the DVD players. The trucker had to identify the body. The boy scouts were in the train store and the black guys were the ones who tried to kill Tony and only clipped him in the ear.
Not sure if that's true, but interesting.
@matt:
Stop ruining my name with Sopranos garbage. KSK does not promote such filth unless it's picking which female character you'd bang first.
@matt and @matt
Glad to see you guys aren't the same person. Didn't know that about the last scene, although if that was the case, then...OK, but then WTF?!?!? Screen going to black just sucked after a great episode up to that point.
WV: xardz. What happens to you after looking at the Olympic logo on X.
I'm on board with the new template.
So wait, the black and gold outline is for Christmas Ape, and the green backgrounfd is for Caveman's Seahawks?
Does this mean they're off making out somewhere? Because that would be awesome.
I like Shan's suggestion, weekly colors for an NFL team.
Good job, Sudsy.
The two Matts should settle this on the mat.
/ducks
43rd....oh, shit, that was last week's topic......
Nice new view.
2 matts enter, one matt leaves.
also, the ksk changing templates is like a hot girl changing hairstyles (within reason, not like britney spears) she will still be hot and you still will want to bang her. good anology ?
The two Matts should settle this on the mat.
Unless you're talking about this Mat.
@ beaver
Didn't work for the Felicity chick. Not that I watched or know what Felicity was.
i agree on the felicity thing burnsy, if i knew what you were talking about, thats why i said within reason.
With special guest referee Mat Hoffman?
Sweet, I'm in.
the issue between the two matts is settled. since i'm at work, i clearly had nothing better to do so i figured out how to use this and i changed my posting name.
so are you lazy dickheads going to use this whole 'template' change thing to avoid posting anything else all day? because that would be really fucking lame on your part...
matt the kid wins for his picture with the dog.
hey cc,
this weekend i was forced to drive through lovely cherry point and camp lejeune, north carolina. military base towns are always your one stop for pawn shops, strip clubs and cheap motels.
THE. OFFSEASON. IS. FUCKING. DRIVING. ME. FUCKING. CRAZY.
We need to kill the time somehow... Like all get together an prank someone else's site or something.
It's Drew protesting the inclusion of himself in the "we've been lazy", when there have been 334 posts in 2007 and Drew has 298 of them.
Or, he could have ACTUAL work to do, while, ya know, being at work.
Clearly wasting time on a MONDAY.
Di mei mao!
I had to bring this back one more time.
Looks like a Jets site. Blech.
we need to get something going on here for me to talk about. i'm not sure how many more "credit reference" calls i can make in the next 1 1/2 hours. i hate my job, but something has to pay for my weekend binges.
maybe there should be a police blotter report from roger goodell every monday.
for example, i saw today a stripper alledges shaun rogers gropped her. i know everyone is shocked.
Seriously...
At the very least can we get a "Let's Rip on Peter King's MMQB" feature?? Or did the lawyers already shut that down too?
I like the new template, myself. I'm looking at the green, blurry picture of the football stadium, and I imagine the bleachers are actually filled with thousands of pot bushes.
There's an obvious Ricky Williams joke in there somewhere.
or easterbrook's TMQ.
i'm not sure if any of you have seen this, but it had me in tears.

@the kid:
Mozart, beethoven, Robert Palmer...
funny shit
@beaverfever:
TMQ says that the TMQ ripoff was one of the top 5 posts ever on KSK. Cheer-babes and Trekkies rejoice!
Unless a black hole caused from Bill Gates' corporate jet swallows TMQ first.
Shit. I should have put
That poor attempt at insult
In a haiku form.
You should totally change the clock on the right to 4:20! You know, the time for getting weeded. Because that would be... lame.
I really should stop by more often, I can't believe it's been a year and you have yet to once say "I love you." You still "juss wanna kiss you," which is what makes this place so great.
