N.O./KC-The Saints O is a thing to behold-they churn out an average of 413 yards per game despite the fact their running game is near non-existent. “Don’t talk about the D. Don’t talk about the D”-Saints fans. Let’s talk about the D. “GODDAMN IT!”-Saints fans. It’s a piece of crap that hands out 419 yards per game to opposing O’s. Gulp. Well, at the very least it’s entertaining. Look for the Cooks/Peters match up in the secondary and for rb Charles to break one or two.
Ind/Ten-The Titans are 2-14 on the road. Scratch that-that would be their home record the last two years. How the hell do they sell tickets to their tripe? Yikes! That being typed, if they win today they’ll have put together their first 3 game win streak since 2011. They should give the run game a try-rb Murray is playing well and the Colts give up a half first down each time that someone runs the ball against them. Plus, 11 Colts are ruled out or questionable today. You sneaky buggers out there that do the fantasy should take a look at te Jack Doyle-the fella has 3 TD’s but what’s more impressive is that he’s got 20 grabs on only 23 targets.
Min/Phi-Rook qb Wentz will have to earn his animal crackers today against a Minny D that has 19 sacks and a +11 turnover differential. I’ll wager he gives up his 2nd intercept to outstanding cb Xavier Rhodes. The Eagles may want to steal this game because going forward they have the toughest strength of schedule based on current records. The Vikes passing game gets an upgrade with wr Diggs likely to return.
Cle/Cin-Oh woe is you if you is stuck with this game. What happens when an unwinnable lack of force meets an under-achieving object? We finally get the answer to this via the quotation marks battle of Ohio quotation marks.
Was/Det-The Redacteds started 0-2 and the calls for qb Cousins to be benched were numerous. Now that the team has reeled off 4 straight and he has 7 TD’s and only 3 Ints in that stretch, the soul-less supporters of the club have chosen to grumble to themselves. The Lions have won two squeakers at home and look to grab a third. Qb Chunky Butternubbins has tossed 7 TD’s with nary an intercept. He’ll have to put some points on the board because his team’s D is the same one that gave up 19 consecutive complete passes to something called a Case Keenum last week.
Oak/Jax-Much like this whole “evil clown” thing being a thing, Oakland being undefeated on the road took me by surprise. How did they accomplish that? It’s not Indy or the Saints with the most yards allowed so far this year-it’s Oakland with an average of 444 per game. Neither team can run the ball consistently so both Bortles and Carr should go for 350+ and wr’s Cooper, Crabtree, Hurns and Robinson should all have a bellyful of footballs by the end of this, say, 41-38 whizbang of a game.
Buf/Mia-I larfed myself silly when HC Ryan fired his OC because his D was such a mess. [record scratch] Huh, well would you look here-some team has run off 4 straight wins including a shutout of the Pats. I KNOW NOTHING! On another personal note, I ditched rb Ajayi heading into last week’s games. Woo! is not me. Don’t you think the Billys are going to run the ball down the Fins throat and end up with a W? Even though rb Shady has a hammy issue he’ll still get his.
Bal/NYJ-Qb Flacco’s status was up in the air but I saw a report this morning indicating he was ready to go. Jets HC Bowles benched his guy, Ryan McHarvardface knowing that Monday he wouldn’t have to watch horrible decision-making by the ‘leader’ of his O. Instead he’ll be treated to horrible decision-making by Geno Smith. It’s the little things that make going into work bearable, isn’t it? The many faces of Jets wr Marshall are downcast.
A jaunty hat tip to all those that commented during the early bird special but your work is far from over. Now take a break AND DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN!!!
Sam Bradford looks a lot like my uncle the Physics teacher, except he was pretty good at football.
Would it still seem spiteful of me to continue wishing nothing good to happen for Golden Tate? Because fuck Golden Tate. Not that I wish a career ending injury or anything, just that he keeps dropping balls, fumbling, missing key blocks, running the wrong route, only having one foot in bounds, etc.
Because still, fuck Golden Tate.
this is .also the position of both Russell Wilson, and his ex-wife…
Fine by me!
I do not know what to make of the Eaglea
I survive a day at the State Fair with my ADHD niece and my geriatric mother, to come home to see Joe Flacco float the ugliest pass ever…well no, but it was ugly…for a pick. Then I watch the Ratbirds get the stop via fumble, only to give it right back on fat guy re-fumble give backsies.
I should have stayed at that godforsaken fair. I need a drink.

Did anyone call child protective services?
Screw you both. She’s no worse for wear…mostly. And I saw the damned play anyway.
I’m headed to the freezer….which is where the vodka is stored.
Wait, you didn’t have the vodka before going to the fair? Only way I can handle the fair is in an altered state.
One is not allowed to take alcoholic beverages into the State Fair, therefore I plead da fif.
That being said, two mini bottles slammed before going in at ~9am only lasts so long. Or so I’ve heard.

Wendel Smallwood disappoints his girlfriend on the regular.
So you’re saying that it looks like Wendel’s NOT taking the ol’ log to the beaver?
On a scale of 0-KIRK that was a KIRK
Wouln’t that be Kirk to 10?
Kirk factor 10? I canna do it captain!

The fact that the Bengals have a play other than “Throw It To Green” shows what a crappy coach Marv Lewis is.
give BloodSugarFitzMagic the ball on the 4?
NAWT close enough!!
Mrs. Nobyl was just vacuuming the back bedroom when I heard a loud grinding sound, followed by momentary silence then a string of uncharacteristically colorful metaphors.
Guess I’d better go fetch my screwdriver and biggest hammer, this time I’ll remember to unplug it first so we won’t have to get yet another cat (long story).
You can get machines that are special made for that kind of thing you know, you don’t have to jury rig the hoover to do it.
She was actually using it for it’s intended purpose. Me and the ShopVac in the garage however…
Well of course, ShopVac has an attachment for that.
Flacco goes wacko, avoids sacko but INT breaks backo

Someone spoke in class ta-daaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy?
Are DFO shares still only worth $12? Trying to keep an eye on my target retirement time frame of tomorrow.
DFO seems like the kind of enterprise where you get killed by lofty nuggets two days from retirement.

Hey, you know what would be great? NOT TALKING ABOUT THE GODDAMN CUBS DURING A FOOTBALL GAME BETWEEN TWO TEAMS FROM TOTALLY DIFFERENT CITIES
I watched JV NFL on mute then finally went to bed last night b/c all anyone wanted to say as CUBSCUBSCUBSCUBS.
HEY, GUESS WHAT. I KNOW WHAT CHANNEL THAT’S ON AND AM AVOIDING IT ON FUCKING PURPOSE. DIE IN A FUCKING ACID FIRE.

Well, I have to pull for the Vikings D this week. I think I’ll switch to the news on Telemundo and see if the weather report started yet.
Family in town, terrible early games, Civ VI just came out, driveway needs to be swept, dog needs to be walked, red sauce needs to be made for pizza later…
Fuck adulting today. I’m gonna watch terrible football and drink scotch whilst hiding in my room with you upstanding purveyors of dick jokes.
Need company?
We can sit on my bed and make friendship bracelets as the sultry tones of Greg Gumbel inform us about the latest TD.
Beats my usual Sunday. I just came back from a stroll in the Pearl and would kill to be around normal humans for a change.
Civ VI fuck yeah!
I’ve only played an hour of it, but my initial impression is I don’t like it very much. Things like no city build queue, the camera snaps back to the capital city at every turn, not enough clear information on certain game details… are all very off putting.
There’s different stuff that annoys me, but I suspect a lot of this will eventually be updated. Remember, this is the first run, as opposed to Civ 5 which was actually really different when it first came out, that was fully tuned over years. I like what they’ve done with the districts, I think there will be much strategery. And bringing back armies? Good.
I play a lot of Endless Legend, so I do like the district system Civ VI is going for. I’m not gonna refund the game in a ragequit, I’ve been a Civ player since the 90s because I’m old and crotchety, I won’t give up on it yet.
As with every Civ game, I’ll give it a few months until an expansion makes it the best Civ game of all time. I need to get the expansions for Civ: After Earth yet, as well.
I might have gone for Civ VI and drinking if I knew it was out before just now
So, I’m on my third game, and I still only sort of know what’s going on in Civ6. I started at the easiest level and have been bumping it up by one each game. I keep accidentally winning a culture victory instead of whatever I’m actually going for. Also cycling through Civs. Like the Egyptians better than the French so far.
But which one will pay for the wall?
You know you can turn off some win conditions right? The world options in VI aren’t as comprehensive as V, at least I’m hoping for more in a future update.
Shit, we should try to do a DFO multiplayer Civ VI game.
Carson Wentz… legit? ELITE?!?!

Open … Your … Endzone …
Why are wide receivers such fucktarded dickwads who fuck over their teammates at every conceivable opportunity?
Running backs score as many TDs but you almost never see one get a taunting foul afterward.
uncatachable, bro
annnnnddddd that’s the sound of me going to 4-3, losing to a motherfucker who started an inactive TE.

More so that Matt Jones is Matt Jonesing… Kirk hasn’t done a Kirk yet
True. O-line is rockin it today though.

I can get behind this trend
Is the Vikings offensive line usually bad like this?
Oh god dammit. Fuck you Bengals. I can’t believe Lewis just got bailed out from terrible decision making.
I HAVEN’T SEEN AN AIKEN MAKE A GRAB LIKE THAT SINCE CLAY MET UP WITH RYAN SEACREST ON THE AMERICAN IDOL SOUNDSTAGE
What is up with the awful Dolphins argyle endzones?
Thank god. You are alive. I was worried the Cubs fans got you last night.
I was really close to testing the bounds of justifiable homicide on the guy right below my window who kept yelling “GO CUBBIES WOOOOOOOOOO”
Sorry that ICRM isn’t sorry.
Maybe it’s because they have such a hard time finding the endzone, the field crew wanted to make it really obvious to help them out.
Throwbacks, it seems
a pre-Advent salute to Grandma sweaters?
you stupid browns
oh, Factory.
