Evening all. I know this usually starts with a quick recap the of the afternoon “games”, but as of writing this post, most are still in the first half and I won’t be around for much of the second halves (damn kids and family dinner). If there was only a way to, like, look somewhere, for this kind of information. So, you’re on your own to find out the scores and anything funny that happened. Or, have some patience and wait for Mr Hippo’s post early tomorrow. ( look boss, I’m plugging the site and to have them come back. page hits, baby). Enough of me rambling, on to the event.
NO/MIN
Will Bresus through for a zillion yards? Will he break whatever record the talking heads keep blathering about? Will Cousins like that? Will Thielen continue that +100 receiving years streak? Looking at my fantasy leagues, I see Diggs and Kamara in one and Bresus in the other. So what I would like to see is the Minny defense shut The Aints down and then the Minny offense run up the score to keep Diggs and Kamara out of it and hope that Brees doesn’t have a good game. But, things like that never happen for me, so congrats to whoever has those three. They’re going off today fantasy wise.
As for the actual game itself, it’s prob going to be watchable with a good offense against a good defense , but what do I know. But still hoping for the tie.
Is it wrong for me to think of Garret Morris’s Chico Escuela when I listen to Eduardo Nunez’s interview? Probably.
I’m just curious, but it seems, at least to me, that there are a lot of Red Sox fans here tonight. Or at least there are a lot of commenters who are happy the Red Sox won, for whatever reason (hometown, gambling, alcoholism, etc).
Am I wrong?
There is enough Boston hate to make up for it.
I think it’s because the Dodgers managed to have more hateable players on their team. Plus, Roberts was just horrible.
Wow, you have to be pretty bad that people root for the Red Sox as the “good” team. I guess I live in a bubble.
Agreed, except about the bubble…. allergies.
Cirque de Soleil is fucking weird.
I’m not happy they won persay, but they were my childhood team so I’m not sad.
Congrats Petronel and any of the rest of you who root for the Sox.
You guys kicked ass, I gotta admit.
Why do they think it’s necessary to give a $60K pickup truck to someone who can afford cars that cost into 6 figures? “I’ll give that shit to my yardboy Juan.”
Rich folks in L.A. have Japanese gardeners.
That’s why they lost
Rich folks never lose.
I’m sure it’s some kind of tax scam.
On the bright side, no more baseball?
July 28, 2019:
Lil’ Nel: Waaaaaaaa! BAWSTAHN RUUULES!!
Ain’t gonna happen, but if it did:
Just…. shit.
Woohoo!
Another year perhaps.
Dodgers halfway to being the Buffalo Bills!
Yeah but the weather is nicer.
Until the earthquakes show up.
Or the droughts, mudslides, and wildfires.
You guys watch too much TV.
My father grew up in Lackawanna when it was a steel town and I still have relatives there who did well for themselves. I love Buffalo, I really do.
I dated a nice Jewish girl from Buffalo for 15 years. Unfortunately she started to turn into her father, and I decided that I didn’t want to spend the rest of my life with a bossy cranky old Jewish guy from Buffalo, so I pulled the plug.
If you date someone for 15 years you are married. Been there. Possibly with the same woman.
She wanted to stay in the city and didn’t want to move out to the country with me. We never lived together, so I consider it a long unfinished betrothal.
Also, speaking as a good Catholic boy, nice Jewish girls are awesome girlfriends.
I went to high school for three years in Redlands. I fucking loved it and was horrified when my dad got orders to Texas.
But that doesn’t prevent me from playing the “falling into the sea” narrative whenever I can make a stereotyping snarky comment on the internet!
See you down in Arizona Bay!
All the Dodgers hopes rest on the shoulders of an asshole.
I know most non-New Englanders will probably disagree, but both Dirty Water and Shipping Up to Boston are kickass tunes.
Did I tell you the story of when I was on stage with the Dropkick Murphy’s on my birthday?
It goes something like this: I was on stage with the Dropkick Murphy’s on my birth day.
That’s all I got.
That’s a fucking awesome story!!!
No one (in Boston) denies this.

Go wild BAHSTAWN

Saints…good? Bearistocrats! Back into prophetic position!
Looks like all sporting events will be finished at a decent hour tonight.
More Collinsworth shlobbing Brady’s knob. DRINK!
Wow. This couldn’t be happening to a nicer or more deserving team and fan base.
Are you watching the NHRA Finals in Vegas too?
Of course. Love the quarter mile.
That’s a normally aspirated engine now.
KERBLAMMOO!!
Day after the warantee expires too.
Now go home and get yer fuckin’ shine box

In a parallel universe they don’t even keep score, and the winner of a game is entirely derived from social media “impressions” or sum such.
why teh rush, Dingleberry?
This is some good clock wasting right here.
when ur down 3 scores, PERFECT time to use up 60% of the remaining clock!
Did someone set this game to 10 minute quarters? It might be over in less than 3 hours.
Same old Fiona Apple!
Anorexic and AIDS ridden?
Kinda sucks that Saints/RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAM IT!! ain’t a SNF or MNF fixture, but ’tis the only 4:25 option, so everyone without a blackout will get it.
Another solo home run by Boston.
I still have a puncher’s chance, you late QB swapper!!
Criminally underrated movie
I for one welcome our new Taysom Hill overlords!
Who needs coffee and booze anyway?
eh, perhaps he’s one of them Jack Mormons. They PARTY!
The Mormon Church?
Let’s play a game. Every time Collinsworth manages to fit a Brady reference into this Patriot-free game…DRINK!
How was your aviation immersion this weekend?
Outstanding thank you! Just got off the train a little while ago, DC is pretty whack, in a good way.
My hometown! Well, Arlington is.
Spent the night in Alexandria with my sis-in-law and her husband, she dropped me off in Old Town this morning to hang out, really nice but $$$.
It is now. Didn’t used to be.
I feel like that facebook portal thing is collecting data about me just from me watching the ad for it.
Quiet, you!! – Doktor Z.
Escaping family drama to confirm the Saints’ ascendance to a tier above the Viking folk.
Did Hippo lose a bet he couldn’t pay?
That’s not Hippo. That one still has his thumbs.
Same tits.
gravity is a bitch, chuh chuh
I might finally have a win in the league of paper champions!
I know you’re not Litre because I’m kicking his ass this week
I take pride in our tie in two decimal place scoring.
That really was an awesome thing to behold.
Yep, a swift boot in the ass from the only one of you that I know really exists.
Wooooooo!!!!!
/remembers he’s about lose for the 6th straight week
(wooo)
Who’s more likely to secretly have capitves in his basement, Brees or Cousins?
Brees by a mile.
Sure they can, Sweetie, sure they can.
Cousins. His fucked up steak cooking is a cover for eating transients he keeps in the basement.
Cousins. He flings the basement door open and throws food from a Wendy’s dumpster at them and yells “YOU LIKE THAT!?”
deffo Cousins, he seems like a possible “wearer of others’ skins”
I ate dinner and am still hungry. Trying to have self restraint is overrated.
No, you had an appetizer. Still need to have the main course.
you can always purge later if’n ya feel fat!
Sup.
Yo.
-gi. Yogi.
Shake it, Miss Alien, you won’t break it.
Pickerception!
Cousins felt bad about the fumble overturned, so he throws an INT
lol kirk
lol Cousins.
Just realized that the only 3 non-division games the Eagles have during the second half are Rams, Saints, and Texans. Fuuuuuuuuuuck.
I’d pencil them in for 1-2 if it helps.
Davenport with a potential strip sack, but was it Najeh or Lindsey? Couldn’t tell.
Lindsey Buckingham?
No fumbre
WTH are you doing Cousins?
All runs scored off home runs? WEIRD.
Prepare yourselves for Maximum Massholes
It’ll be even worse if’n “we” win the SB in February as well.
Darkest Timeline.
You’re a Pats fan? In Texas? Root for whoever you want but I thought stuff like that was illegal in Texas.
Native Masshole, been a Pats fan since I was 8 years old (over half a century now). I make no excuses or offer any apologies. But since I’ve been in TX for over 40 years, I don’t come across as your average mouth-breathing Sully..
No apologies needed. I was just curious about the narrative. Embrace your Massholeness.
Of course, the Dodgers (as of this writing) haven’t lost yet and can still win the series, and then the Rams win the Superb Owl, and then LeBron and the Lakers and that guy and the Kings both win, and then all bets are off on smugness.
