Some of our brethren are enjoying the sweaty, seedy favours of the fine town of Las Vegas this weekend. Say a prayer for them, will you? Here’s hoping none of them are flying back home wearing nothing but a barrel held up by suspenders. I wonder what they’ll be doing this afternoon… TO THE GAMES!
SF/CHI: The Niners are going ahead with their plan to be led by a 40-ish female comedian into the future. Somehow the Bears have fooled 3 separate teams into losing to them. Three! How they did that, I’ve no ideer. Probably involves mirrors or some such.
DEN/MIA: These two squadoos have chalked up 12 consecutive losses between them. Woot! Somebody will waddle out of this fixture with a W. A W that means nothing to no one.
TB/GB: Qb Winston is back from a shoulder ouchie and he faces a generous secondary that hands out an average of 304 yards thru the air over the last 5 games. His counterpart Hundley gets to wrestle with the league’s very worst 3rd down D. Plenty to not watch here.
KC/NYJ: Coachella Reid has magically transformed a 5-0 start into a 6-5 miasma. But lo, Revis Island will halt the skid, won’t he. Nope. The Jets are the Jets that we’ve all come to point and laugh at.
IND/JAX: The Jags have themselves a comfy three game homestand at just the right time as they tussle with the Titans for the leadership of the AFC South.
DET/BAL: Both teams are 6-5-the Ravens own the last playoff spot in the AFC and the Lions are just one game behind the Falcons for the coveted “last tean in” designation.
NE/BUF: You can do this, Bills! (they will not)
HOU/TEN: Qb Savage’s practice of charging the opposing team 100 smackers for every turnover he commits has netted him a sweet $1200 over his last 6 games. I’m guessing he’s taking the Titans and the points today so that he can increase his wallet bulge.
MIN/ATL: After crafting a 7 game win spree despite a 2-2 start the Vikes are just one game behind Philly for home field advantage throughout the post-season. Them Falcons are holding onto the last spot with a tenuous grip.
Makea da noise down below.
FUlly expect Matt Ryan to disappoint me again this afternoon
I’ve got a hundy on that very outcome.
Bills got this.
It’s Mahomes time people.
Fake News Spur!
Alex Smith has tiny hands too
That’s what David Duke calls it whenever he sees a black person wearing blue.
Tooooooooo the Games!!!!!!
Hi, Bitey!
Alright. Time to watch V Alabama play Buffalo.
I would make a bring back BCS joke, but I’m pretty certain Alabama would’ve made it in that too.
Ohio State and USC as well.
Kind of scared that the Bills are gonna get a win. Oh well we shall see.
Our Glorious Leader is in full meltdown mode on Twitter. He’ll fire Mueller tonight.
Come on Pence. Mental Instability. Invoke #25.
Fuck that guy, too
Agreed, but it at least it’ll get Trump away from the Nuclear Football and into a straightjacket.
my Sportsbook has not updated its JV section and I am fucking annoyed
“We don’t look at conference affiliations.”
I’ll give him credit. He said it with a straight face.
They should – as an ACC fan, they are giving Son of Clem WAY too much credit.
I think in that case, they are the last team to lose. They’re only there because the floated to the top.
I hate that they used that, too (the bank teller line method). Was also unfair to Alabama, I just didn’t complain about it, because fuck ’em.
Order should be OU, Georgia, then Bama/Clem in whichever order 3/4
Andy Reid has surrendered playcalling duties? START that Khunt.
I pity the team that Ohio State plays in the bowl game. Buckeyes will be out for blood.
Troi Boiz pretty locked in. Might be the best non-playoff fixture.
Troi Boiz gonna rollllll!!!!!
I think #5 (Ohio State) automatically plays #6 (Wiscy)? If so, what a turd of a rematch.
I don’t think the Bowls allow for intraconference games. If so, OSU-Michigan would’ve play multiple times when possible.
Every bowl game. Doesn’t matter.
I would love to see The Game in a Dec. 19 bowl in a 50,000 stadium. It would be interesting.
Pretty sure there’s an allowance for B1G and PAC wherever possible. It will be tOSU/Troi
Hell yeah, Hippo’s right, I forgot.
I hope the Eagles’ new overly elaborate celebration for tonight is an in-depth analysis on the effects of extreme heat on the structural integrity of steel
That or fake throwing a fish. I would approve of that as well. Did you know they throw fish in Seattle?
Ertz is gonna throw on a Jimmy Graham jersey and miss some free throws
I hope jet fuel and a raging fire in Wentz’s ginger bro-beard are featured.
Here, some of you may enjoy this:

Sad Urban Meyer is SAD
I like that Kneel before our GOD post! ……Its the CHick Fil A cow riding a Blimp.
I kind of want Boomer Sooner to win so Baker Mayfield goes off. I would enjoy that.
Fuck Oklahoma.
If you haven’t noticed, I hate Alabama. I hate them more than I hate the Steelers.
So according to the Committee, having a Conference Championship game hurts your chances. Alabama didn’t play in theirs and their in. If Big 10 didn’t have a Championship game, Wisconsin would’ve won last week and stayed #4 at 12-0.
some years it helps, some years it hurts. Ask the Big Twaaaaaalve (ish). There was a reason they started having one.
In my view, they got it right. As someone who watched a fuckton of JV NFL, these are the best 4 sides. The real surprise was UGA beating Auburn in the rematch, but they did it, so full credit to them. It also shows how one game on a campus site isn’t the end-all, be-all. Just one data point.
/I hate Son of Clem as much as Redshit hates Bama. That Syracuse loss is worse than any loss the others have and I scratch my head at how they are #1, coming from the shittiest conference.
Ugh…i have to root for Dabo.
only v. U*NC and ND
If you are selecting the 4 best teams, I think that’s pretty clearly correct. The problem is, it should be 16.
it’s not like there is a full month of Saturdays they are play on
Think about their studies!
Hee hee. It all worked perfect for 1-AA. Would be great for 1-A. Gets in all the good 2-loss teams and possible mid-major “sleepers” and conference champs who meet certain defined criteria.
Regular season would still be vital because first two rounds would be home games.
Fuck it! Go Clemson. Put 3-digits on the Fucking Elephants!
Bama it is.
Mark Warner is the worst charades player I’ve ever seen. I have no idea what this pregame show is.
Of course. SEC rules all.
Bama did not win it’s division nor its conference. Let’s put in UCF
at 16, sure. Bama could beat Team Jeebus Camp, so hoping for them. Troi Boiz also ok.
I was three minutes from flying to Vegas last night.
Morning Folks. I’ve been sick all week. I did not get a chance to meet any of the DFOs in Vegas this week.
me sick too. Congrats on the pending National Championship.
National Championship? TTU and Boise were bad this year.
Shit is together now, I expect two ass-beatings. Only complete side left.
I turn on NFL Network and Heisenberg is doing analysis. TV is odd these days.
He is the one who takes #ThePauls and the points?
Andy Reid is the one who knockwursts.
He was actually mocking RAMMIT for leaving in the 90’s and expecting him to give a fuck when they came back
how dare he!!
Watch it be USC ending up #4
I’m perfectly fine with that as long as it’s not Alabama.
I’m fine so long as not tOSU or Wiscy (or any B1G) after yesterday. That was putrid stuff.
“We have the rankings now, We’ll building the graphics now.”
Who cares about pretty colors? Just say the names. Four or five words!
I am surprised GAMBLOR doesn’t have already.
Oh man I missed out some solid CHL talk last night.
Saginaw was down 6-0 to Sarnia (#1 CHL and just smashing motherfuckers in the OHL) late in the second. And then this happened:
The Spirit have been dogshit all year to the point that I haven’t even bothered going to see any of their games. It’s good to see they decided to score all their goals in a single period.
Empty netter in OT? And not on a delayed penalty considering there being assists?
Yeah, I don’t know why the fuck that was there, it wasn’t an empty netter.
That’d be awesome if it were though.
Dear ESPN College Football Playoff Selection Show,
How in the hell do you have people connected to the schools in the Playoff Committee? That’s like Robert Mueller calling the Trump children to act as Grand Jurors.
Am I resting my Divisional Title playoff hopes on Devontae Booker like a moe-ron? Sure am, Other Hippo!
/also gonna bet my remaining stake (aside from what’s out on today’s NFL slate) on Oooooooklahoma! once the semifinal pairings and lines are out. They good.
//not betting Bama/Son of Clem, too biased
Time to see if the CFB Playoff Committee pisses off Columbus or the rest of the nation.
Inadvertently sleeping through church lets me sleep off the hangover, but, forces me to listen to my mother-in-law scream haplessly at my nephew while he destroys their Christmas tree.
Well played, God.
I love the word “hapless”.
That’s why I always go out to eat on Sunday afternoon. It gets me out of the house for some “me time”.
He has that kind of sense of humour ,, heathens forget that
Holy shit. Trump had a helluva morning on the Twitter machine. Even for him.
He sounds like a scared old man.
heh, “sounds like”
He seems to be sure we’re all protective of Hillary Clinton. If she committed crimes, haul her away too! Don’t give a shit!
Agreed! All corrupt assholes are equal before the law.
He’s LITERALLY (well, outside of her inner circle of weirdos and the wackiest of the Bernie Bros, which I believe are mostly Russian bots) the last motherfucker who still gives a tin shit about HillyBob.

Ok start two of the following: DeSean Jackson, Marqise Lee, Josh Gordon. Leaning DeSean and Josh. Looking for wisdom of the crowd.
Jackson & Gordon. Jax might not need much from the passing game today. I stink, though.
I agree with Fronkenshteen.
Jeremy Piven is a scumbag.
Oh, you meant fantasy tips? Can’t help you.
agree w/ leanings
Also, between throwing the election to Trump (I know, I know, according to KT McFarlane it was actually Russia that did that) and opening the door for either Alabama OR Ohio State to get into the playoff, Wisconsin is without a doubt my most hated state* right now.
*Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, West Virginia, Texas, and South Carolina not included.
So I read the book that the movie above was based on “Magic” and while I enjoyed it, I was disappointed in the ending because the main character made some big points in the middle about how a magic trick was all about “the setup” so I was disappointed in the end when it turned out he was just crazy instead of it having been a grand setup the whole time.
You might be right, but go…nope. That’s about right.
That Silverdome failed implosion reminds me of that time my brother and I made dry ice bombs and didn’t put enough dry ice in one of them. The plastic bottle swelled up but didn’t detonate. We didn’t know what the hell to do – nobody was going to get near it, but we couldn’t just leave it sitting there. So instead we threw rocks at it until someone hit it hard enough that it finally blew.
Probably would have been a good job for an air rifle, but ours was so old and busted that it couldn’t shoot straight. I accidentally killed a mockingbird that was harrassing my cat in the exact same scenario as in that Simpsons episode (i.e. I didn’t think I was aiming anywhere near it) and felt terrible about it. Which is funny, cause these days when my cat kills things I barely bat an eyelash.

There are two types of people in this world: those who remove the foil covering IN ITS ENTIRETY from a multi-serving container of yogurt, and those who deserve to burn in hell for all of eternity.
I never thought we would have a sitting president so stupid as to publicly broadcast that he obstructed justice…
I also love how it sound like something straight out of RQBOCOP.
LMAO
Wow. It does.
But actually right now his lawyer John Dowd is claiming to have authored the tweet.
“That’s right, potential future clients. I advised my current client to openly confess to a crime via twitter.”
I’ve never heard of an attorney, no matter how shitty, ever advocating to a client to talk to the media when a case in ongoing. This is the dumbest cover story ever.
Eventually he runs out of people willing to land on his grenades right?
I have no idea what Dowd is doing here: this could lead to either disbarrment or a malpractice suit.
I’m sure that Dowd knows what he’s doing (or at least THINKS he does) but it always seems to fall into the same pattern and lesson: if you get involved with Donald Trump, he will ruin your life.
Of course it did

Is this morning’s report on McAdoo having an effect on the NYG/OAK line?
It has. It was Raiders minus 7 1/2 last night now it’s Raiders -9.
Like those guys were going to play hard for Ben McAdieu (ok, I liked that line from the article) anyway.
Fuck you MGM, those are NOT blackout curtains.
Now now, Denver and Miami could tie
We were looking at the betting sheet in the bar last night and Vegas isn’t touching that game. Same with the bays of Tampa and Green.
If Vegas isn’t taking action on it stay the fuck away.

Proof that you cannot destroy Derp; you can only delay it.
If I was betting this next match, I’d bet City 4-1 with Lanzini scoring for West Ham. What’s that, about 30-1?
In all seriousness I was going to make a bet that Bournemouth would tie today. Stupid alcohol!
I must of woke up in the 1980’s. Badgers sucked yesterday, GB and TB are playing and both suck. Where’s my zubaz n zima?
How about some Boones wine!
Boones Farm Strawberry Hill was vastly superior to Annie Green Springs.
Jesus, I just made my own stomach roll over.

/Strawberry Hill was sweet enough to put one into a diabetic coma FFS
A four-pack of Bartles and James and an EST seminar on VHS seems about right.
How about some Seagram’s wine coolers instead?

I got up early to get some work done so I could justify whiling away the rest of the day in beer-related footbaw pursuits. After looking over the selections, I feel ripped off. The whole thing really. Like why should I care any about any of this shit? I’m starting to forget why I started to forget why I even cared in the first place.
