Enough dilly-dallying! TO THE GAMES!
Raiders/Cards:
The Gruden-led (rhymes with rudderless) Oakland squad is not doing very well. Hell, when your te has a whopping 30% of your qb’s 10 passing TD’s, something’s gotta change. That change took the form of trading their lone offensive threat. Wha? Now because of injuries the Raiders are staring at the possibility of Dwayne Harris and Seth Roberts being their starting wideouts. Tis not a wonder they’ve scored but 147 points all year long. The Cards have something to say about that though. They’ve managed a paltry 124 total for an average of 13.7 per game. Still, they’ve got a rook qb that’s doing the usual struggly thing. Rb Johnson seems to be heating up, having got past the century mark in total yards the last two games. I can’t see him regressing vs. this lot. Christian Kirkwood would appear to be a rising talent, so one might say that there are pieces in place for the Cards.
Broncs/Bolts:
Here’s your hot AFC West action. Careful, it might burn up your chosen media device! Joey Bosa is scheduled to return, giving the Chargers something to bother Keenum about. On t’udder side, Chubbs and Miller are pressuring and sacking like no one’s business. I’m still trying to wrap my head around the reality that L.A. is 7-2 and only one game behind K.C.
Eagles/Saints:
Much like the Steelers/Jags tilt from the earlier slate, this was to be a lovely game to take in. Like the Jags, Philly just didn’t deliver. One can’t help but think that they’ll reel off 5 straight wins at some point but maybe not this week. If they somehow get the W they’ve got the Giants next and maybe they start rolling.
Polish your eyebulbs, there’s more work to do.
King Laserface been Chubb’d y’all
this will no doubt be the last happy tidings of the Donks WOO!! day
Ugh, having Apollo’s son fight Drago’s son is such a cheap premise for a sequel and I will absolutely watch that slop.
I’ve been meaning to watch Creed forever because I’ve heard so many good things about it, but just the existence of the sequel turns me off again.
Will you watch it with arms wide open?
Wouldn’t having him fight Clubber Lang be much better? I’m sure Mr. T is still in fighting shape.
Fox just did the confirmation crawler, Alex Smith out for the rest of the season following emergency surgery on not one but two broke leg bones. Ouch.
“Hey Alex it’s your old coach Andy, sorry to hear about the news…. wondering if you could donate your old tibia for a stock the missus is making for Thanksgiving. Call me back.”
Wow. Broken Tibia AND Fibula. RIP Checkdown King.
Not surprising….your leg don’t move like that if you have intact bones in the area. Set it, heal it, honestly it’s better than a soft tissue injury as far as long term prognosis. He’ll be making annoying guest appearances when he’s 80
He’ll be the Gallagher’s brother to Joe Theismann
Holy merde, a N’Awlins PUNT?
Christ, every time Brees’ arm cocks back, I’m waiting for a long TD
He’s good, his receivers, meh
When I cock back, I wait for an STD
How the fuck are there still new episodes of Family Guy? I love family guy. It was appointment TV for years. It’s not nearly good enough to deserve this kind of run.
There are how many Simpson’s series?
In my mind, they stopped right around the year 2000.
I think all long-running shows have a shelf for any one individual, you basically outgrow what you loved so much and then think any newer iterations suck. Simpsons, South Park, Family Guy, hell even (or especially) Saturday Night Live.
South Park completely rewrote its formula at least and switched to culturally relevant topics, although that’s been going on long enough that that’s getting stale as well.
I miss where you could just put on South Park randomly and you didn’t worry about an arching story.
Ugh. The Skins are not good. The Cowboys are not good. My fandom is….tempered, extremely tempered until someone murders the idiot Snyder, but I’ll still be pissed if they don’t kick the shit out of the Cows on T-giving. And hopefully put the pain on Zeke. Probably won’t watch, as I’ll be in Athens and it’s hard to find middle of the night American football in Europe, but go team I want to like but can’t!
“Ugh. The Skins are not good.”
Relax, Buffalo Bill.
VINTAGE SAINTS
That could mean SO MANY THINGS
And only some of them are felonies!
at least it’s not vintage Penn…
Seriously don’t understand how there aren’t more gay football players. If you’re getting sacked you might as well enjoy it
Gettin sacked is the whole point isn’t it?
Especially if they’re tackling you by the inner thigh

I did not realize that today was the MST3K Pre-Thanksgiving Day marathon. I think I will go and watch that.

Oh damn! New or old?
Both!
SO GOOD
New Jersey is playing so bad apparently that yahoo! sprots reduced them to a college team
God dammit, at least look like you are trying for fuck sakes.
Man, I think they are
You sound like all of my work supervisors ever
When did the Broncos D get so bad?
when we lost Two of the Good Ones
This is what I’ve been expecting since the bye
come on Carr. throw it to Cook!!!!!
The good news?
My knees are doing pretty good and back to the new normal.
The bad news? I fucking blew out my right shoulder at the gym.
Why do you hate me, Jesus?
Is it because of the whole agnostic thing?
Religious tolerance, Bro!
Hey, at least you aren’t a Redacted’s QB!
Who’s left? I saw the Colt McCoy show.
You probably have more functional limbs than the entire WAS QB corps right now, at least weighted to competence
That shit ain’t even fair
I know that I’m a bad person for liking the Steelers and being happy that they won.
He he he. Don’t feel bad. Enjoy it!
Did Darren Sharper dose the offense?

Got an extra seat at the table?
BYO Recliner
I’ve got a homemade stock that I spent 5 hours on yesterday, plus Grandmommie’s dressing, mashed potatoes and the green beans thing. Also debating homemade bread, son in law is smoking the turkey again plus Eldest right with dessert.
We’ve also got a couple of new folks who have no place to go in attendance. The usual.
I have yet to commit to the homemade stock portion–one of these years. Homemade bread is worth it, I think. Unless there’s a good bakery close by.
The stock is mandatory because smoked turkey does NOT make for a good stock.
Gots to have gravy plus the stock goes in the dressing.
That makes total sense.
Oh, also mac and cheese by request of Eldest granddaughter.
fuckin welp
Dakota Jeebus starting to pay for his thought process
At this point I’m happy at any Oakland good, because goddamn that must be a depressing team to be on right now
Saquon: *pays with contactless payment*
Eli: Oh WOW. How did you do that?
Saquon: Uh… the card is equipped to do that.
Eli: DOUBLE WOW! Can I see?
Saquon: Okay… *gives Eli his card*
Eli: *puts card in mouth and chews it like a teething ring*
Eli Manning would find a way to get his tongue stuck in the card chip reader.
Chargers in full “just WATCH us fuck up a game we should win with all the errors and sloppy play” mode. Like CLOCKWORK.
Donks will work hard to re-gift, though
It’s the battle of the SERIOUS INTERNAL DOUBTS! ONLY ONE CAN BE RIGHT (and therefore lose)!
Man, if it weren’t for that whole champions thing, I’d be fucking livid all season.
Yeah, I am so happy with last year that this year doesn’t make me fly in to a rage, which is great.
While I’ve definitely been an Eagles hater, I’ve never been an Eagles fan hater (although I do love to bring up the ass who purposely vomited on a little girl, but that was baseball) and y’all being rational just confirms the non-hatability
FLOATCEPTION WOO!!!
Did Alex Collins get hurt today? If not, did he lose his job to Gus Edwards?
Motown Philly NAWT back agin ,, smh
Gonna have Duce Staley out there playing safety soon
Gonna be one of these games
Mummer hurt
D-O-N-K-S!!
Thought you dug that sequence
Walk it off manny!
Reading post-wine texts from yesterday. Impressive.
Wine is a double edged sword, have a little and you are witty and bright, cross that line and have too much, look out.
Not a sword guy, but do any of them have a single edge?
/Also what’s the deal with airplane food?
Sabers
Katanas (and I think most Japanese swords)
Rapiers have no edge, they’re pointy only, no slashing

How could I have forgotten the Golok
come on wentz. throw it to ertz!
Since no one will buy my place in Chicago, because Chicago is the still animated corpse of city which is nevertheless still very fun to visit but thank whatever I don’t live there anymore, I can rent it out and cover my mortgage payment, but I’m not getting my down payment back, and therefore can’t buy a plot of land in VA wine country, or a condo in the French Quarter in NOLA, and that makes me sad. Especially the French Quarter condo. I could totally Air Bn’B that when not using it for weekends.
SET. IT. ON. FIRE!
I feel like “Lebanese Lightning” is a horrifically racist term to use, but damned if I haven’t seen it be repeatedly effective on a number of properties over the last couple years.
That is a very Halifax expression.
Great Chicago Fire…..REDUX
Just bring it with you

Where in VA wine country? Charlottesville-ish? You’ll love it here. Gorgeous, dripping with history, highly mockable sprots squadroons.
I was thinking somewhere near White’s Ferry
Looks beautiful. Hope you sell the other place.
4th and inches and Pederson doesn’t go for it?
Game over on bar napkin.
Could be worse.

I hope Sproles is being groomed for booger McFarland’s job. Not sure why. I’m high.
Shouldn’t have rage-dropped Fitz. That was impulsive, which is unlike me.
/ is struck by all the lightning
I did same thing
Well, when teams won’t come clean about injuries…
Something like 1/3 of all Raiders points were scored in the game against the Browns that I went to. I’m pretty happy I managed to go to the best game of the season for the Oaklands.
“The most important thing is we won. The second-most important thing is that the equipment manager gets the never-ending chocolate fountain going like he promised.”
-Matt Stafford
go go oakland RAIDERS!!!!
throw it to Jared Cook bababababyyyy!!!!
found a funny:
Just heard a guy at the dog park tell his dog “NO!” and then more quietly, “We talked about this!”
I totally have done this.
Steelers should have lost that game, but Ben just wouldn’t take no for an answer.
Not many folks know this but he fucked the ghost of Nancy Reagan just to put her in her place.
And the officials for enforcement of the laws, help him out. Still want to know how a damn roughing the passer negates an interception (or did that happen in another game), stupid migraine.
“Why am I not getting Raiders/Cards?”
-Nobody
Fucking Pittsburgh.
Either the Eagles turn their season around today or lose by 40.
Can they lose by 40 and kill Drew Brees?
That is a possibility.
Especially on this curse’d day
