Let’s get right at it… TO THE GAMES!
Pats/Fins:
Guh. Nice start. The spread in this game is 19, which is about 19 more points than my level of interest. Btw, Brady’s record in Miami is 7-10.
Cards/Ravens:
What’s better than young love? Only a battle between young, dynamic qb’s, that’s what. That reckless hypothesis will be tested today.
Niners/Bengals:
Kittle owners had to be pissed that 2 TD’s were called back on penalty-but fear not, he was targeted more than twice as often as the next wideout. Jimmy G had a trash day a week ago but every opponent should be loving Cincy’s secondary. It’s almost as bad as the Giants.
Bears/Lions:
T.J. Hockenson had the very best day that any rook te ever had in his splashy debut. I’ll bet that the Bears lay some pads on him, unlike the Cards.
Vikes/Pack:
Cousins threw a mere 10 times last week. You knew that they were committed to the run but that’s crazy. Thing is, they got up by 14 very early and could do whatever they liked and what they liked was running down the clock starting in the second quarter. Don’t worry, wr’s Theilen and Diggs are still there and will be used.
Jags/Texans:
The Constant Gardner Minshew gets his very first starty-start quite a bit earlier than even his mom expected. And she expects a lot! You would think that de Watt will spoil his milk but he had exactly one pressure last week and nary a a sackeroo.
Bills/Giants:
What can you say about this game that hasn’t already been said by the spittle running down the chin of a homeless heroin addict? Yeah, I’m gonna watch.
Seahawks/Steelers:
Speaking of talent-less secondaries (see, Giants above) Seattle’s has a distinctive lack of BOOM these days-expect the Steelers passing game and their talented wr’s to have a pleasant bounce back.
Colts/Titans:
With Devin Funchess gone, (he’s always been a ‘meh’ guy to me) Deon Cain looks to step in and make a difference. What happened to Parris Campbell?
Cowboys/Potato Skins:
Dallas backers are all agog regarding Dak’s newfound passing prowess but those TD’s last week were the result of missed tackles and assignments. (Antonio Hamilton is a bum) Dak only threw into the endzone once all game. Maybe OC Kellen Moore is onto something but in my books the ‘Boys qb is a glorified game manager.
Well, there you have it-everything you could possibly need to watch the early afternoon slate aside from pills, booze, dope and munchies. Have at it!
Just changed the bulb in my projector, as the old one finally just quit (after 6000+ hours, so pretty damn good). Now I feel super handy and good with a screwdriver!
A screwdriver sounds like a fine idea.
But I don’t have any vodka and clean out of orange juice.
HELLO BEER!!!!!
Shame I can only watch 8 more minutes of this bananacakes Villadolid/Osasuna match
Your pills are fighting each other???

This morning, at a local convenience store, I crossed paths with an Orange County (NC) Sheriff’s Deputy. We began talking and kinda hit it off, so to speak. Now before you say anything, this was a FEMALE deputy.
We talked for a bit and I could tell….well, ya know. And I’ll admit she was quite pretty. Her sidearm even had a cute little pink handle on it. I thought that was cute. I considered asking her out.
Then I remembered all the weed plants I’ve got growing here, and I got the hell outta there.
There was never any doubt.
One never knows.
You don’t have to bring her home immediately. You could wait till after the harvest.
Yeah, but then I’d be high and paranoid.
As opposed to when, exactly?
That is what I was thinking. Let get to know the usual you. If she finds any, blame it on your mom (medicinal).
Brian Billick has aged into a movie villain who’s being haunted by all the people he’s killed in the past
He was Ray Lewis the whole time!
Well, it’s kickoff time. Or for me, nap time.
Arsenal looking like 3rd position challengers, at least
I have three different Patriots (Brown, running backs) playing today so I can confidently guarantee a final score in the Patriots-Dolphins game of 13-3.
Nah, 2-0, we only score a safety to win it.
Oh, thanks for the reminder!
[starts Patriots’ defense]
They let you pick refs in FFL?
4-2
I put $30 on the Qardinals to win first half (+325), because I have Balmer in both survivor pools
Hey Grat – thinking I have to bench TheSean Jackson, because ATL will weight their coverage towards him (so as to not get embarrassed at home) and also the “Week 1 Waiver Claim” jinx. Whut say yeeeewwww?
Never trust Jackson in back to back weeks. However, the last two games between these two have been defensive dog fights, so I expect them to both go balls out and derp it up in the air.
plus I would have to bench Bleeding Kansas against Los Gigantes’ paper mache secondary (already starting Brokeback QB, too) or Brandin Cooks at home against the Saints.
GOAT
You can’t see it, but Doug Martin is wearing an expression of approval.
Always makes me giggle.
The best part about having a shitty fantasy team is that it doesn’t matter who you play or bench, they’re all gonna shit the bed.
Hey Scotchy? Sorry but gonna be that guy.
Les Chargers are playing the Lions, Bears be up against Denver.
Hope you had a lofty hike.
Blarf! My mistake will stand as typed.
Oh my god. PFT as Ben Shapiro.

“Where should Mesut Ozil play?”
Germany.
Outer Mongolia?
May as well, for all the attention he seems to pay to the game.
I used to love his game but, lately, goddamn is he frustrating to watch. Not sure if it’s him, the game plan, the organization, or what, but I have to believe everyone would be better off if he got a new start somewhere else.
How do so many people who throw out the first pitch have absolutely no idea how to throw a ball?
Time to take the dog for a long walk and come back to a 2-0 Arsenal leHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA….
Oh man. Almost finished that.
Awwww, I thought we lost only 2-0 … U BASTARDO, the game hasn’t started yet so we can lose by moar…BASTARDOOOOOO 😛
I know I will bench the absolute best of my 4 good WRs. Hopkins, Bleeding Kansas, Too Many Cooks, TheSean Jackson
I benched Thielen for Gallup and am already regretting it
You almost HAVE TO play Gallup. He’s really good. I only have him in DFO-ball, am very mad at myself
Also have Ridley and Edelman.
And Mixon. Who I have benched for Bernard, so you can book Mixon for 120 yards, TD, and probably assault and battery after the game.
I am starting ex-SD’s Jackson because of the Mixon/Gio morass
Diggs always has career days against the “team that will not be mentioned” so that may be a good idea.
Going against my conscience and putting AB in since I’m facing Saquon against the fucking Bills.
If you’re playing FF you have to give your conscience the day off.
Time to go for a non-football related ‘hike’. See ya in a bit.
Btw, guys, you should really be rooting for the Pats this season. After all, if we go 19-0 it’s odds on Belichik and Brady would retire and their long reign of terror over your teams would end… Well, excluding how the team is built to last, McDaniels would stay and Stidham seems like a serviceable heir apparent to Brady until we work out the kinks of the Brady Gen3 clones
Counterpoint: No

You fool! If I’m immune to the MAGA kool aid, what makes you think the Patriots kool aid would have any effect?
Ours has nanobubbles… or was that Russell Wilson’s ?
Cheer for the Pats? I’ll hang on to what remains of my dignity, thank you very much!
But the dark side is so much better… we actually win stuff !
this is why I allow myself #BFIB. Donks, Everton, and NC State clearly balance my Sports Karma
See Fulham futbol.
HOLY CATS ADDED TIME GOAL FOAR SPAL WOO!!!!!!
almost 5-to-1 home dogs against not-Juve, HAD TO BET IT
My talisman side!
Time to track my Dunav Ruse bet. I like them because I imagined a team chant based on that once-ubiquitous “Bulletproof” song
… mate, I am from Ruse (pronounced Sh-eee-itt Hhh-ooool) and you really need an intervention if you’re betting on those incompetent shits 😀
THE ODDS ARE RITE!!
/also, I had often wondered whether the town was “Dunav” or “Ruse” so thanks for clearing that up
also, Litre will mail you a Chinese slave chill’uns-made Dunav Ruse shirt, should you win one of our tipping pools.
Dunav is the bulgarian spelling of Danube, Ruse is well, truthfully pronounced as Ruh-sey (or thereabouts, I really suck at writing phonetic spelling). Still a shithole and still a crappy team. Slavia’s usually the better team too (and way more capable of paying off the refs)
Remembering the time WWE took a Bulgarian and turned him into a Russian because they had just annexed Crimea. He did get to ride into a stadium on a tank though, so I guess it was worth it.
WWE? Sorry, I’m older than 12, so I don’t watch WWE
Ah, a man of more sophisticated tastes. Let’s get something a little more your speed, then.
I hope that’s a dummy.
Kenny Omega? Depends on who you ask.
Actually I get my entertainment the way any redblooded IT guy does… By gawking at tech specs in industry periodicals and websites 😀 … Also wifey, because I’m (as far as I’ve been told) very happily married 😀
I hate all this Cowboy talk. They’re playing Washington who ALWAYS give them trouble.
Very interested to see if Slurs come back with fire after last week’s collapse or if they’ve already packed their bags for the offseason
HE KICKED IWOBI IN THE STOMACH, HOW IS THAT NOT A PENNO??
Iwobi isn’t named ‘Harry Kane’?
and of course ” ’cause he black” ?
the preferred nomenclature is Harry Fuckface Kane
/still would have lost 3-2, I just would have gotten my hopes up
So is Brown actually playing today or is this just New England being shitty and manipulative?
YES
He’ll play. Belichek is a troll genius.
I’d expect the opening drive to be 6 passes to AB, including the TD.
Bill’s gonna have a special #metoo sleeveless hoodie just for the occasion
He’s playing . Will he have a loaded pistol in his waistband, maybe.
Brown will play but he won’t be a factor. It’s still Edelman’s team as far as touches go.
Well, I’m told his people do run the world, so…
The Rothschild Offense can be sneaky at times.

Also good afternoon
THERE IS A LIGHT AND IT NEVAR GOES OUT
Everton: Hold our beers!
ok, KMFDM are back in front at least. If SPAL would do the same, I might get off the ledge. Until Donks WOO play, anyway.
Fuck me. Is that Mike Ditka trying to do Chris Farley’s superfans character? I’m fucking mad online.
ONE OF US! ONE OF US!!!!
FUCK EVERYTHING YOU MOTHERFUCKING SHITASSES
Cheer up, Arsenal will arse things up again tonight… And the Patriots? We’re playing in Miami, so we can lose on a fluke play (or well.. win by a 100)
AND I HAVE TO START JUSTIN JACKSON IN FANTASY BECAUSE OF MIXON TRYING TO PLAY THROUGH HIS ANKLE OWIE
I’m already dreading seeing how Arsenal are going to fuck this up.
For the last time, your mother came on to ME!!
Well that’s good for Yeah Right I guess.

In honor of the former Bengals player killed last week, they should change to the Bengals jerseys they wore when he played for them. And in honor of taste, they should keep wearing them and not change back.
Eh, I suggest in his honor (checks career stats… Uh… right… still….) to fire Marvin Lewis from a howitzer 😀
Nah. Marvin did enough to live. Just tie him to a barge and send him down to the Mississippi.
Eh, Ask Bungles fans – they’d say that he did enough to fly … straight into a woodchipper 😀

You just tolerate me so you can classify DFO as bipartisan and all-inclusive.
It’s too soon. They don’t remember LeBeau, Coslet or Shula years.
Need sommet from talismanic skank Leann Reims, too

It’s good to see Big Boi from Outkast still getting work though.
Fun observation – how dense do you have to be, to be hoping to take good snaps on iPhones and S10’s at range, so that you get actively pissed off every time it doesn’t happen, lol. I’m shooting light, lol and it’s on the fence (EOS200D with a couple of telephoto lenses) and yet people keep trying to snap away with their smartphones 😀
I have a decent camera, with a telephoto lens, and do I ever remember to bring it? No, I do not.
So when I’m next to you, swearing away while trying to take photos with my 8-year old phone, I’m really cursing at myself.
And for most “spur of the moment” photo opportunities, it’s understandable not to be bringing a camera… Except that this one’s announced way in advance and people here ought to know any better*
*I’m totally ignoring that even at such events, the vast majority of visitors are normal and sane people, not nutters like me that basically pitch a tent when they hear the R2800 on a P-47D roar to life 😀
Edit: Speaking of which, I got a fun series of photos of the kiddos struggling against the prop-wash of a Sea Fury doing engine run-up “a safe distance” away 😀 THEY LOVED IT XD
The worst part of football season is seeing commercials again for the first time since spring. Using STP to sell Dodge trucks? smgdh
Hippo Header!
DCL really needed to break his duck, too.
Is “dynamic” the new euphemism to replace “athletic”?
Or for “running around like a headless chicken… with about as much tactical positioning as one too”
[scribbles reminder to call Josh Allen ‘dynamic’ next week]
That’s not how you spell ‘raycesst’
Whoa, whoa, whoa… You can’t call Josh Allen dynamic, he white, yo! He’s got “high motor” 😀
First guy in, last guy out. Has intangibles that you can’t argue with.
“He white and he’s not sidelined with Mono”?
GOAL – Bournemouth 1-0 Everton
Soooo, Ehhh… not a good start
Good start for yearRight, not good for teh Hippo.
at least KMFDM have their peckers in front, I bet the shit out of them
godfuckingdamnit
HELLO TILT!!
Ok, I will bite, is KMFDM actually KFUM Oslo?
si, es verdad. I started betting them because it made me think of KMFDM. They are usually pretty reliable.
Greetings from sunny Germany (yes, I know, I’m a goddamn mini EU, sue me sideways and call me BoJo 😀 )
bring some of that heroine ya muling over this way!
No heroine, lol, just a meetup of old planes near Stuttgart, lol. Kiddos are definitely loving it so far and the guys at the flight line are a delight (as in let my kiddos in behind the stick of a Hurricane, Mustang, Spitfire….. type of delightful)
Also here’s another pic for all ya fine folks here:
“This image failed to load”, repeatedly, so you truly are Boris Johnson, in that you’ve made multiple promises and failed to deliver on any of them.
Although I suspect you have better hair.
Perhaps your computer is refusing to open links to imgur or something, because it opens them here, lol. Also my hair is actually markedly worse than BoJo’s, for I have “fresh boot” hair atm XD
Edit: Goddamn, It opens on two computers, doesn’t on 2 phones, so … anyone know of a good image upload site?
Edit2: Does it open now?
There it is.
I had to refresh but it indeed opened. ARE ZE GERMANS COMING???
be nice, it seems he was in the Luftwaffe!!
Unfortunately, nope… I’m slowly building a Yak-9 in Sweden as a hobby (and also because it’d appear that wifey would never let me buy myself a Mach2-capable Ex-Soviet Interceptor)
Hey yeah right – you ready to get yer Cherry arses…inevitably drawn? 😀
Ready, Mr. Hippo!
Damn-made a mental note yesterday to mention the other footballing.
There’s other footballing going on now that will dovetail into the other football later.
