Det @ Sea: The Rams upset of the Cards yesterday makes it imperative for the ‘Hawks to grab this one. (And I thought the NFC East is a mess-which it is) With Lynch out Thomas Rawls (who?) gets the ball. He’s 5’9″ and 215 lbs. and hails from Central Michigan GO CHIPPEWAS! (I guess?) Anyone mamember Melvin McLaughlin? Of course you don’t-he is only the leading career scorer for their basketball team! After giving up more than 60 points in their first two games the Seattle D threw a zero at the Bears so they may be rounding into shape OR the Bears are going scoreless from here on out and the Seahawks got in on the ground floor. According to Pro Football Focus the Lions have the most “wave to the defensive player as he runs by and gets pressure on the QB”. (may want to tighten up that terminology a bit, PFF) I look forward to Stafford doing his best impression of a fat kid trying to avoid being run over by an ice cream truck.

So Peyton manning not only sings random things…he actually gets lost with a GPS in his car?
Fucking fucking fucking fuck
Every coach really, really has such a hard-on for making the FB dive work.
They think its like fake field goal #2.
#workseverytime
The other team’s defense telling you “Hey you guys suck…and you are going to suck in the next quarter” is NOT the same as predicting your playbook.
I’m not ready to say the refs in this game are blind or anything to blatant Seattle holding but they’re pretty fucking blind….
Peyton’s gotta retire after this year, right?
oh, abso-fucking-lutely
He’s as fragile as my positive feelings about myself.
As long as he has the arm strength to lift a pen, so he can sign the retirement papers, yes.
Can we get lynch to be in the next republican presidential debate?
He’d probably win
“I’m just here to make Bobby Jindal uncomfortable.”
I read that Ryan Leaf and Todd Marinovich are planning to start their own janitorial services company called the Legion of Broom.
When will they be in business? Beats me. When they get their shit together, I guess. So…don’t hold your breath.
This game is gonna get out of control, it’s gonna get out of control and we’ll be lucky to live through it…
I really hope megatron just talks shit to Sherman about that dominos ad
I really hope Sherman starts talking shit to Stephen A. Smith about the jerky ad they’re in.
All I want is 8 points from Baldwin. IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK???
EIGHT POINTS from Baldwin?
Oh hunni. . .
/hugs
ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FARTBALL?
Just offered a trade in one of my leagues. $75 for AP. I have $92. Thats crazy high right?
Ok which Seahawk’s player’s wife will fuck Tate later?
Who is she, I must know.
She’s a sexy nerd girl whose name escapes me.
Veronica Belmont
fuckin saved
Hey, uh, that Rick and Morty finale was kinda dark.
BUT YAY MISTER POOPY BUTTHOLE LIKES OPIATES TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m currently 3 down, but when this game goes to shit I’ll watch them.
Poop and opiates don’t tend to go hand-in-hand, so to speak.
They has never impacted (hee hee, turn of phrase) me that way.
Indeed it was….As was the Strain.
with Leftovers in the queue, it may be Friday before I muddle my cracker ass to The Strain
Awesome use of Nine Inch Nails…
Man that show has really hit its stride. I didn’t like it at first but I think its brilliant. Sure as shit better than anything by Fox.
Thats the way the news goes I guess
New Lily ad:
Who is this Lily girl and how can I get to know her better?
She’s the brunette in the AT&T ads:

Don’t get me wrong, GMC, I like that song. I just don’t think it’s a good idea to advertise a product with music that prominently features the lyrics “it’s a put on”.

Finally, a halfway decent anthem that didn’t sound like someone was auditioning for The Voice.

Whatever Allin was trying to accomplish he was quite successful.
Do you think Tirico has learned Muy Thai or something to protect himself from the moment when Gruden loses it and tries to beat him to death with his headset?
Homemade vindaloo for dinner. It’s actually quite good, but, I think I put too much curry in it. Not bad for a first try.
THE FUCK YOU DOIN’ BOYS (AND OCCASIONAL LADY)?!
Vindaloo should definitely not be over curry-y.
You’re gonna have fun tomorrow.
I’m gonna roast some squash.
Ah, Vinda Loo, Soo Lin’s Indian-born half-sister.
Best/worst ‘shroom experience?
I ended up watching “The Serpent and the Rainbow” by myself and ended up walking up and down the street in bare feet in the dead of winter.
Tripping on acid and watching “In the Mouth of Madness”……needless to say, turned into a bad trip pretty fast.
Getting arrested trying to sneak beer into my dorm.
Never done ’em.
Watch the movie Suicide Club from Japan…while on shrooms and drinking Southern Comfort.
Fucked me up royally something good.
Never had a worst on ‘shrooms.
Best was many years ago now. Stayed up all night watching TV and laughing my ass off. Forced everyone to stay up and watch Die Hard over and over, and explained why they should be rooting for Hans Gruber to win this time.
I never trusted anyone enough to go shroomin’
Now I would cause don’t give a fuck. But too old, the opportunity no longer presents itself.
We can turn it into a web series.

Seattle is a pretty cool city, but nah let’s just show the fish market
– ESPN producers
Is there a non-zero probability of this game NOT being godawful?
Technically.

Lead vocalist Michael Jackson:
Good evening everyone
Seattle is the only place in the world called Seattle.
Seattle. Sponsored by DraftKings
12th man, 12th man, basketball player, jesus, wilson, 12th man, pike’s market, 12th man, beef moe, 12th man. aaaaaaaarrrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhhhhh
evening gents.
hey
It’s as if Seattle invented that or something.
THROW! THAT! FISH!
If you could only have one pizza topping for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Cocaine
dilaudid!
also, cheese is gross. I would prefer just sauce and ground chorizo with my dilaudid. but just dilaudid would work.
I assume cheese is a given… if not, cheese.
Otherwise, pepperoni.
shrooms. They takes like shit but I would never get tired of tripping balls.
Naive cheerleaders, for sure.
Bourbon?
Bourbon.
Most of these are not ACTUAL pizza toppings you guys…
Pepperoni then.
Fine. Worldly cheerleaders then.
Peppers
Apropos of nothing-I’m not a fan of fennel.
I thought you were Italian-Canadian.
No Italian here.
Ah. Your attention to detail in your sauce-making led me to believe otherwise.
I have a butt-ton of basil growing in pots right now.
PESTO PESTO PESTO
That’s what I was thinking. I wonder if I could sub pumpkin seeds for pine nuts?
I don’t see why not, I’ve made tasty pesto with walnuts before.
How the fuck you doin’ boys?! First attempt at rive brogging via mobile in a bar. Wish me drunk. Luck, I mean luck.
Hmmmm….I wonder if I should fan duel game draft kind this game….
Not stupid drunk enough yet. Actually…I never get stupid drunk enough…
Please just be a good game.
I don’t see that happening but I’ll still watch.
How is everyone? I skipped my AA meeting and went straight to the ABC store instead. Not sure if you folks are sick of hearing about my dysfunctional work stories…I got a hell of a doozy today…
hey guys
sup

i just washed the weekend dishes
yo
i was away this weekend
Up in my neck of the woods I would get Chippewa games on the local PBS channel. Melvin was a 6’1″ shooting guard who defined for me at a young age the term “streak shooter”. When he was on…wow. One thing he did that was unique was that if he was playing against a significantly taller defender he would shoot his jumper on the way up which fucked up his opponent’s timing. The only other player I ever saw do that was Bernard King.
/cool observation, bro?
You definitely know some arcane shit from your slice of Canadia.
I was a six foot white kid with no athletic talent that was obsessed with being a good ball player-every little move I saw I tried to use because I sure as hell wasn’t going to race by/jump over anyone.

*day
Canadian TV sounds strange and magical. Shame aboot the language barrier.
So, the past two weekends I have gone to weddings on Saturday AND Sunday (fun fact: Both weddings on Sunday featured a groom who is a fan of the Pats since they joined the league in 2000). The last wedding basically ended with my family breaking up and my 84 year old grand mother falling down 5 stairs made of gravel and landing on concrete (miraculously, she’s only badly bruised and nothing was broken). On the plus side, my Christmas is going to be way more enjoyable not having to deal with certain family members, so that’s nice.
So . . Football Sonics win 28-10 tonight? Also, thank god I have no more weddings on Sunday because that’s some grade A bullshit.
The best part of living in the South is most people have the sense not to get married during football season.
The best part of being a divorced recluse is that I just refuse to go to 99.999% of all such social obligations and don’t care that people talk about hat a weirdo I am.
Free hat!
My only wedding thoughts:
1) Can you believe she’s wearing white?
2) That’s a pretty big dowry.
Repeat until no more invites arrive.
Hey, weddings are decent pay for about an hour of ceremony work.
I didn’t re-up on booze. This decision will surely come back to haunt.
Fortunately, this game should be over by mid-1st quarter, and since it isn’t the ass end of MANDATORY 14-HOUR FOOTBAW DAY, I can go nighty night.
If you have sugar and water, put some sugar in the water and invite some natural yeasties to the party. By gametime you might have something with… 0.001% alcohol by volume. But if you have a big enough volume…
Fuck if I didn’t.
I spent the latter part of the day chasing an incontinent 97 year old around Walmart, among other places. Amazingly he did not commit vehicular homicide with those little charge up scooter thingys.
Another similar day tomorrow is on the docket, as he gets to go to the dermatologist to find out wtf is growing out of his old goddamned neck. As if anything will/should be done no matter wtf it is. FML.
So yeah, re-upped on the alkyhol on the way home, and plan to get hammered tonight.
Last minute flex advice: Calvin Johnson or Thomas Rawls.
I don’t know why I had the foresight to put Megatron in a flex slot, but since rawls is starting, should I let the running game do its work
I would still roll with Megatron in PPR fo sho. Non-PPR is tough call. Then I would say Rawls is safer, Megatron if you need a monster game.
I’m rolling with Rawls in my Flex over Tate. Not, the same I know, but I just don’t trust Stafford to throw the ball against good defenses. Until they get that sorted out, I don’t see a ton of upside for Megatron or any of their WR corps.
Note: I’ve already won my fantasy match up this week, so grain of salt and all that.
I benched Tate this week, even in PPR. I started James Jones and Crabtree at WR, and Clay (cha-ching!) at Flex. Considered Ginn and even Ty Montgomery as Crabtree substitutes, but not Tate.
But Tate is no Megatron.
I’m also a Stafford owner, (this is what I get for betting the Lions would have a decent/good offense this year) so I’ve been pretty watchful of the entire offense so far this year. I think in two weeks you can start playing Lions players with confidence again as they had a really tough first six weeks against good passing D’s, but that changes quickly when they play the Bears and beyond.
And of course, Tate is no Calvin, but their production has been pretty similar so far this year.
True. There is a part of me that wonders if Megatron has lost that half-step that has now made him permanently mortal. Or just no longer immune to the Stafford factor.
Still had a pretty good game against Denver, though the Donks very specifically gameplanned to keep him to shorter completions and not give up the big play. Not really the Hawks’ style.
The thing thats really sticking me is how much will johnson be targeted, and Seattle’s gameplan
Rawls.
Pete Caroll called Rawls a HEAT SEEKING Missile, which means Rawls believes Jet fuel can’t melt steel. I think they’ll give him a lot of good touches and hope he can be seen as Beef Mo’s replacement next year.
Good point-they don’t seem to be that enamoured of Lynch, do they? Although replacing him with a smallish guy doesn’t seem to be that smart.
“Although replacing him with a smallish guy doesn’t seem to be that smart.”
I’ll say! – Don Majkowski
