Yeah, up here in The Canada Don Cherry was fired because his last windy rant included the phrase ‘you people’. He was talking about poppies. Parse that out, Einstein. He’s been a divisive TV shouty person for 39 years and was once voted as the seventh greatest Canadian in a CBC poll/doc series. He was essentially your blowhard drunk uncle that barked louder and louder as the night wore on and he realized he was losing the argument that he brought up in the first place. Let’s head over to our usual thingy.
Fallout:
-The NFL delivered some highly entertaining games yesterday on the heels of some fantastic tilts the day previous. LSU and Minnesota delivered the W and were rewarded with the #1 and #7 spots in the AP poll. Fucking well done.
-Not well? That’d be David Johnson and Saquon Barkley. Both seem to be putting their team over their health and that never turns out fine.
-Charles Rogers was an extremely gifted wr at Michigan State that flamed out in the pros due to injuries, substance abuse and bump-ins with the law. He passed at the age of 38.
-Injuries? Too numerous to mention. Lots of guys in concussion protocol including at least 4 (!) Giants I’m aware of. Lots of MRI’s happening today as well.
-Pat Shurmur’s seat is getting hotter. Check this out-the backup left tackle that got torched by the Jets D after starter Nate Solder went down had no idea he was going to play that position because he’d always practiced as a ‘jumbo’ tight end on the right side. These little tidbits about players not being ‘coached up’ properly are leaking out which suggests to me that Shumur is about to lose the room.
TO THE GAME!
Seahawks/Niners:
Jimmy G went off last week but San Franny still averages a mere 28.75 pass attempts per game. Good luck to those of you that have either Coleman or Breida or both. Me? I’ve got Chris Carson and I hope he pulls a Kenyan Drake. The latter went for 110 and a TD vs. this vauntful D. Btw, that D has not yet faced a top 15 qb yet. I mean, yes, they’ve crushed the throats of teams they should have crushed but Russell Wilson is in another (in the convo of league MVP) category altogether.
Hey, let’s do some typing!
I’ve seen this game before. Seattle will come out hot after halftime. Don’t count your gold yet

What is with the gotdamn fascination with Josh Gordon? I just don’t get it. He had a great season 6 years ago. SIX YEARS AGO.

is this a mortal sin against the standard fiddle??
Actually yes! Or at least crippling sin. But I could use the alto clef work and we have zero violists so fuck it, gives me more to do.
Kittle might be out, but that doesn’t mean we don’t get Pentagon Jr gifs!

I’m in a working class bar in (the soon to be gentrified neighborhood of) Pointe Ste. Charles in a bar that will show a shitty OTT v CAR hockey game before an NFL game. It’s a matter of principle. I’m starting to recognize Québecois jokes by ear. 8 inches of snow expected tonight. Here’s the view out towards Charlevoix metro station.
You’re beginning to worry me.
Eh, he just filled with, how you say, ennui.
We’re gonna see him on one of the Lifetime Christmas movies I’m afraid.

Consider your wish granted.
So I started this game with a sizable lead in fantasy football, and I’ve calculated that both of my opponents players, Jimmy G. And the niners defense, both need to play above their season average in order for me to lose.
Watch as I descend into madness as the fantasy gods once again conspire to dick me over once again.
Take THAT, Phallocracy!!
Fuck. The Niners are scary good.
Deffo our only hope
Not true! The worst NFC East team can save the season, as has been proven.
Is it Thanksgiving week yet. Can we fast forward that shit please
Underappreciated facet, but He-mannuel Sanders is also a fantastic run blocker
He should get 10 bonus yards for losing the helmet.
AGREED. He’s a tough mofo.
I ordered a new sofa for “my room” today. It has fold down cupholders, a cooler, USB ports, and folds out into a bed (wooooo memory foam).

Saw a similar one today:
As a group of friends are gathered on the back patio for a bbq, a dead body suddenly falls from the sky. They look down to find a knife lodged in its back with a note that reads… “It’s a GIRL!!”

Still haven’t recovered from that shit show Dallas play calling last night. The mouth breathers this morning on sports talk tried to blame Zeke. Zeke doesn’t call the plays.
Week 16 against the Philly fucks will determine who goes to the playoffs
That Gingerballs idiot needs to accept that DAK! is his best offensive weapon, ham head or no. Especially with Cooper healthy.
Garrett is in that perfect position where he has enough talent on his team to come off as competent, but not nearly enough talent himself to ever do anything with it, so he just gets an unlimited number of tries
Evening Folks.
In spite of being a semi-wolven sort, someone must crush Russell Wilson early.
Dun
y’all’s front four be scary
That’ll work. For now.
But he’s just having fun out there.
Honestly, McLaughlin can’t be any worse than Gould.

Well with the SF MVP a.k.a. the penalty-tastic Seahawks D, we stand a chance.
Not, however, if we keep relying on Breida to get stuffed up the gut.

Hey scotchy, read sommet today in The Athletic about Saquon apparently being shit at pass pro and causing problems for the offense. A different (Rotowire) writer noted Danny Dimes not reading defenses properly and checking into good running situations and/or out of bad ones.
Wut say yeeeeeewwwwwww?
Por que no los dos?
Oh, he real bad at pass pro. Never had to do it at any level because ‘extraordinary talent’. As for second observation-not sure just yet. He’s (rightfully) got no faith in his O-line and his decision-making is fucked as a result. He’s just guessing right now.
yeah, if I was a GM, I would try to accumulate 3rd and 4th round picks, and just draft an unholy fuckton of OL.
All thru college and this year in the pros he has had to be a ‘first read’ guy or else he’d be swallowed up. If he had just a bit more time to process I think he’d be above average. He’s been really accurate under pressure.

My 7-2 money league team has an 85 point lead over the other guy but he has Wilson and Carson. [pretends to tremble]
/I just jinxed it, didn’t I?
If it was 60 I’d feel a pang of worry. 85 not so much.
I have 42.9 lead plus Tevin, against Carson and Myers. Similar level of irrational worry. This would get me to 8-2 and in charge of almost all foreseeable tie-breakers to cement a bye in Week 14.
Money league side is 2-8 because I suck at all facets of life.
I’m behind by 4, and I have Carson and Breida. Hopefully they don’t fight pregame and get disqualified.
what a bad beat story that would make, though!

An entire country sets its TV contrast levels back to normal in response
You being a hockey fan in the states, what is his level of exposure down there? I’m curious.
Non-existent unless you’re big on hockey/owning the libs
Most people never heard of him or of hockey either. I used to watch him back in the 90s in Los Angeles with friends who got the Hockey Night in Canada. I thought he was hysterically funny, especially when he busted on “You-karanians” taking hockey jobs away from Canadian boys. He was a blowhard but he was good at it and I liked him.
I’ve always compared him to John Madden in that he shook things up with his balls-out enthusiasm for the game when he first came on the scene but after a while it seemed contrived.
I thought he was like Charles Barkley. I still don’t know what’s wrong with saying “you people.” Aren’t they “those people?” I’m one of them people.
It’s pretty clear he’s being shitty towards immigrants. It would be really bad if it were anyone else, but it’s borderline progressive for him. McLean’s statement read like he was held hostage during the segment when he’s nodding right along on the video. I think it’s more context than anything. The week before, he responded to Sabourin getting stretchered off the ice with a shockingly dismissive “he just got knocked out. that’s all.” and pissed off a different large segment of people. They’re probably just tired of having to run an endless PR campaign behind every Don Cherry segment.
Yeah, it wasn’t the “you people” by itself, it was the “you come here….” that followed and made it clear he was singling out immigrants.
If it was just a rant about Canadians being too lazy/cheap/indifferent to wear a poppy, it would have been fine. He’s done that in past years. I kind of agree with it. But he was implying that it’s immigrants in particular who aren’t patriotic/don’t honor the sacrifices made, and it’s not like he took a scientific survey. He looked around his rapidly de-whitening Toronto neighborhood and freaked out.
