Your “It’s World Series Eve!” Monday Night Football Open Thread

What, you thought I was going to reference this bukkakke-ganza of a game in the title? For shame…

Fallout:

-It would seem that Matt Ryan has just a regular old sprained ankle and not the ‘high’ kind. Soon to be not-coach Quinn indicated that he’s already running in a pool (of his own blood?) today.

-Fantasy owners everywhere were given the shaft when David Johnson couldn’t make a go of it yesterday. Chase Edmonds thanked the magical black custodian that believed in him when no one else did, after the game.

-Relatedly, the Cards have invited both Spencer Ware and Jay Ajayi to audition for an rb spot. The written portion consists of “can you carry an oblong ball several yards down the field?” and “did you get the ‘Rudy’ reference in an obscure football blog that was posted just now?”.

-Don’t tell me that Fin’s safety Bobby McCain doesn’t care about his team. He’ll be disciplined soon for spitting in the face of a Bills fan and exchanging words with a 13 year-old after Miami’s loss yesterday. This has clinched it for me-they’re gonna finish 1-15, not 0-16.

-Despite extremely poor qb play of late, the Bears ran the ball all of 7 (SEVEN!) times yesterday. According to reporters present after the game, coach Matt Nagy lifted his head to the sky and yelled, “I’M NOT AN IDIOT!” to the football gods. The lack of response from the gods was deafening.

TO THE GAME!

Pats/Jets:

What’s to say here? I sorta enjoy Booger McFarland’s incredibly *insistent!* announcing. The birds that live in Sam Darnold’s eyebrows sing a melodious tune. Bill Belichick’s favourite food is ‘cupcakes’. C.J. Mosley missed his calling as a private dick in late ’60’s Las Vegas. Yeah, that’s about it.

Type you beautiful mutherfuckers, type.
