NFL News:
- Word broke over the weekend that Jerry Jones is leading a group of 17 owners “reviewing” Roger Goodell’s possible contract extension.
- Which, of course, has nothing to do whatsoever, no sir, not one bit, with the upcoming Ezekiel Elliott suspension appeal appeal.
- JESUS TAPDANCING CHRIST!
- Zach Miller almost lost his leg as a result of his dislocated knee in the endzone, implying he tore or otherwise damaged the femoral artery during the injury.
- They had to get a graft from his other leg to stabilize it.
- To quote cbssports.com, “to make matters worse: Miller’s touchdown didn’t count. After an official review, the touchdown was overturned, which seems absurd considering there definitely didn’t appear to be irrefutable evidence.”
- There is no goddamned way I am linking a gif or video of that here. It was gruesome.
- Zach Miller almost lost his leg as a result of his dislocated knee in the endzone, implying he tore or otherwise damaged the femoral artery during the injury.
- The World Series outdrew Sunday Night Football in the TV ratings.
- Well, duh – they had as much scoring, and more exciting plays.
- Sunday Night Football had Al Michaels making Jerome Bettis references, and Cris Collinsworth shilling his interest in Pro Football Focus without admitting his connection on the broadcast.
- Well, duh – they had as much scoring, and more exciting plays.
Game Preview: Broncos at Chiefs
This game seems part of a plot by Andy Reid to ensure no one wins the AFC West. The quality of opponent the Chiefs have faced during their losing streak is an escalating pile of shit. The Steelers that beat the Chiefs two weeks ago are a much better team today, although only beating the Lions by 5 points could be a troubling sign. The Raiders appeared cromulent in beating the Chiefs during the two-hour final seconds last Thursday, but then turned in a turd against the Bills. Tonight’s opponent has had only two good quarterbacks in the last 10 years, Peyton Manning V.2 & Tim Tebow J.3:16. Future saviour Paxton Lynch is inactive tonight, in favour of Brock Osweiler. The Broncos only average 18 points per game, the 18th best scoring offence in the NFL.
By design, this game should be an easy walk for the Chiefs.
AND YET!
Tonight marks the return of Jamaal Charles to KC, albeit in a Broncos uniform, so his season-ending injury may not occur until after halftime. But before that happens, look for the Broncos to try & get him going and take advantage of his desire to exact some measure of revenge. Denver defence seems designed exactly to mess with Alex Smith’s mind, and Von Miller has sacked Smith 8 times since 2014. So if the deep routes fail early look for him to revert to his previous title of the Checkdown King. Finally, Andy Reid is their head coach, so expect some quality timeout or time management fuckups issues at least once during the game.
It could either be a Chiefs 30-point blowout or a Broncos 2-point win. At least the NFL doesn’t have to worry about competing against baseball tonight.

I don’t know who bought MLB’s soul, but the based ball people have managed to put together two consecutive seasons of quality World Series’, and five not-bad ones total since 2012. (The Giants thumping the Tigers in 2012 was just awful; Verlander hasn’t forgotten.) Tonight’s NFL contest may make you long for another Astros-Dodgers game. HOW THE HELL DID THAT HAPPEN?!
Just because someone posted a gif of Buffalo Bob…anyone watch that Bob’s Burgers show?
My nieces got me on it. A recent episode was done where it was pretty much a retelling of Silence of the Lambs, but it involved the school guidance counselor and his therapy dolls getting destroyed.
It was a truly hilarious episode and its brilliant writing where I can get all these horrific reference while my young nieces are laughing about other shit completely oblivious.
That’s a surprisingly good show, I binge watched a bunch of it a while back and it’s smart writing.
The songs they do are insanely catchy and all the characters are amazingly complex.
Its the anti-current Simpsons.
I’m amazed they get away with what they do. So much better than family guy.
Family Guy is such low brow, lazy fucking writing. It comes off like a 8 year that has just started learning swear words…but they are using it all wrong.
Love Bob’s Burgers. Helps that H Jon Benjamin and Kristen Schaal could make a funeral funny. And not just like a clown funeral.
possibly best show on teevee
Um excuse me Hippo, but have you heard of a little show called “Young Sheld…”

Are the Broncos officially “rebuilding” now?
They’re not not rebuilding.
A few of them sure look to be headed to the glue factory after tonight.
They should trade for Garoppolo.
Woops
If you’re not winning, you’re rebuilding.
Or Cleveland.
Brock Lobster?

ok, I cackled
Flyera score twice in 38 seconds to tie it up with 15 seconds left. Lol ‘yotes.
So, games with non-spherical balls….do you think it was originally just because someone sucked at stitching together animal bladders and then pretended they meant to make it all oblong?
Easier to hold with one arm and run….. please the shape of a roughly sown goat.
Evening Folks. What I miss?
Spurs lost third in a row . Not happy-making.
yeah, they need The Claw back.
Good tune. Huh? There’s what…ah, oh!

Remember when Bill Squire ruined his career with the video for “Stroke”?
I thought it was “Rock Me Tonight”.
Potato, Potahto
Whichever one it was that had him sliding around by himself fucking some non-consenting silk sheets.
I’ll bet you that you’ll never find another person with combination of favorite teams.
Wonder where they are from?
Military people seem to have the most insane collection of fandoms.
I grew up an O’s and a Browns fan because that was before the Ravens existed and I am a fucking idiot. I am a Hurricanes fan from my time being stationed in Charleston for 2 years. And I like to follow the Knicks just for the hilarity.
Up here we make our choices sometimes based on locale or family ties or being a stupid kid. Saw the Iggles beat the Dolphins when I was 4 and my father was so angry that I instantly became an Iggles fan and have been one since 1980, and they have won fuck all.
Sounds like someone who chose their teams in the early to mid 2000s. Can’t explain the 76ers though.
This is a solid observation. The Sixers did make the Finals in 2001 with Iverson.
ohhhh yeah. Avs won in 2001 as well I think.
Yep.
I just laugh at the schmucks who got stuck with the White Sox.
ppl forget they won in 2005ish
Yes and it drives White Sox fans CRAZY,
I can’t think of anyone from that team. A pitcher named Jon and a last name starting with L? AJ Pierzynski? Sammy Sosa?
Frank Thomas
I think they had a pretty good first baseman named Paul.
Paul Konerko.
Yes, I did just look that up.
So is John Elway still seen by idiots as some brilliant front office manager?
I mean the rest of the world has finally figured out that he just lucked into getting Pey-pey his last year before his neck fully imploded. He has done fuck all successfully to fix the long term QB situation.
So the Patriots turned down the Browns offer for a 1st rounder to hang on to Jimmy Garropolo so that they could turn around and trade him the 49ers for s 2nd rounder.
That Bill Belichek is a goddamn genius I tells ya.
Eh…If I was a GM, I would never return a call from the Pats. More often than not, they make off like bandits, especially off the fucking Raiders.

Is it not officially a first down if the receiver doesn’t signal for it?

That’s not patriotic. Let your flag fly.
Reports coming in that, with Garoppoppalo going to us, Hoyer Country may be relocating.
Pats need a backup. Hoyer has done that.
We will see what happens.

Donks getting Chiefs and Eagles back to back is a brutal mid-season reality check for Captain Simian and the Space Monkeys.

Miller could have just leveled Smith there. Probably the correct play too, in the grander scheme of defending the read option.
Hippo, Moose, et. al. rn
Great ball security there Peters.
I just read the date on my laptop and was like “SHIT, is it 10:30 already?” I may really be imploding mentally.

Jeebus, I did that this morning.
GET OUTTA MY HEAD!!!!!
That was a nice toss by Siemian if he was wearing red.
Spiral could have been a little more tighter, but other than that, it was a good throw.
We want Brock, we want Brock!
Hell, they should settle for present day Bubby Brister

Bring back Plummer!
Alright KC, no more scoring unless Kelce is involved.
I can’t lose unless you decimate the Denver D sans Kelce.
Shit, he threw that to Todd Kelce? Does that mean I don’t get the points for Travis Kelce?
