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!
Jesus, that was good pocket awareness + throw
Tool is coming to Vegas, Jan 17. Do i dare?
Why would you not is the real question.
That fucking robot needed an ass-kicking.
Is “Peyton’s Place” anything like “Casting Couch”?
Hey Mitch lets see those deep throws……
No, I will not catch this week’s NFL PrahmTahm, as, based upon the preview, I have no desire to have Berman screeching and squawking at me for the duration of the show.
He reminds me of a parrot with touretts.
I think it’s ironic that the only people who want to watch Berman anymore probably can’t figure out how to stream it.
All those people on their computers, fumblin and stumblin’ trying to get it to work is a funny image.
see aso, Q-Anon
Surprised they didn’t rename his highlight show to ok boomer yet

They don’t have mc Chris s Fettes Vette as theme
We’re really shilling foar Disney and Star Wars at teh half?
Really?
Really REALLY?
They need the exposure
Corporate synergy!
Fuck my life, seriously?
It’s bad enough a sea def td doesn’t count against the other teams defense, then that shit happens in the red zone.
I can hear the Santa Clara crowd now:
clap! clap! clap-clap-clapclapclap!
clap! clap! clap-clap-clapclapclap!
clap! clap! clap-clap-clapclapclap!
clap! clap! clap-clap-clapclapclap!
Is it really “victory formation” if it’s just halftime?
I mean, they did win the first half.

This is very enjoyable FITBAW to me.
They duking it out. Don’t need scores for a good game.
On the plus side, now we know the 49ers have a guy named “Jacquiski.” I wonder if he’s related to Jacquizz.
Ok, let’s not fuck this up too badly.
YAY
Hark…it’s the NC State mantra.
I thought it was Hold Our Beer!
Okay, this is a video review that actually should go for like 20 minutes.
(It seems like it should be a touchback to me, since he re-fumbles it going into the end zone before getting down.)
after further review, GOAL to Liverpool

Well this is interesting

SF Ball. Touchback.

SUDDEN CHANGE REVERSAL?
OK, I still have a 17 pt lead. If someone would just kill Russell Wilson at halftime…..I’m good.
I have Heaux +6.5 and the over, so no thanks…
Is that the line or did you tease that up?
That was the line
I stink at gambling.
SUDDEN CHANGE INTENSIFIES
I did six patrols in the engine room of this, in the North Atlantic and Arctic. Kiss my ass.
Plus you bravely attended that Clippers du Merde match and lived to BotG it!
Also a Rams game at the Coliseum, yet no one cared.

I’ve been packing for job interviews. (Suits, why, how?)
But I will repeat my sentiments from last week, fuck Don Cherry. Canadian soldiers died defending my birthplace and most Canadians don’t even know that there were Canadians fighting there. When the two units there were destroyed, the Canadian government just reconstituted them, but we remember them, and we came over here, scoring higher points on the immigration screen than most Canadians would.
My grandma kept every poppy she wore here, had a row of them in her room she’d pin to her calendar and then she’d move them over every year. We keep them downstairs in the kitchen now.
So fuck Don Cherry straight to hell, and then fuck him again.
Exactly. Cherry is standing by a claim that immigrants are less patriotic. It wasn’t a slip of the tongue or a “senior moment.” He honestly believes it. Yes, I’m sure he’s had his photo taken with an immigrant or two. Doesn’t mean he isn’t a racist. Getting tired of the apologists (not anyone here, just online generally).
Whole bunch of people who’ve never heard of HNIC have very strong feelings on the importance of Ron’s contribution to hockey right now
My old roommates, who watch way more hockey than I do, have been complaining about Don Cherry’s stupidity for literal decades now. Defending Don Cherry’s right to be on television is like defending a pig’s right to shit on your porch.
Conveniently, conservatives are huge fans of pigshit in general
So have there been any remote camera shots from the nursing home where the 72 Dolphins are gathered in anticipation of an SF loss?
I’M NOT SEEING #17 OUT THERE. COME ON SF MED STAFF….RUB SOME DIRT ON IT AND GET EMMANUEL BACK OUT THERE FFS!!!!!!!
An affront to GRIT, that dropsie.
There’s that familiar discontent!
That ball tumbled out out the pan. Sad

There’s an 18 year old PFC with the Japan Occupation Ribbon next to a Navy Cross?
Both are dressed Army. If they claimed to be Marine I’d start some shit
Time out quick question: Is it too early to put up Xmas decor? TWBS’s artificial tree purchase inspired me to go apeshit in buying decorations. I’ve never had Christmas and I am pretty sure I spent way too fucking much money and want to feel like less of a piece of shit and improve my cost/days enjoyed ratio. When is the right time to put it all up?
Yes. Don’t be a jerk wait til Thanksgiving.
The day of/day after Thanksgiving. Anything else and the terrorists win.
Yes. The day after thanksgiving is when it is appropriate
12 days is 12 days. NEVAR before Thanksgiving
Better splain “I’ve never had Christmas”. This seems important.
I’ve never celebrated holidays. I’m an only child of only children and holidays were just very, well, frivolous so we never had them, a tradition I have carried onward in my life, but my new mountain place begs for visitors and I want them to feel welcomed and not horrified by my complete lack of festiveness
You should celebrate every holiday. Go for it! Invite everyone!
Thanks for responding. You might want go very spare when you do decide to decorate. That would seem to reflect who you are and how you feel about this season.
Thanksgivings spent with the folks in your life who AREN’T spending the holiday with family can be the best parties! There’s 3 NFL games, so you set up a low-stakes fantasy football tournament, have a potluck dinner, pop the Stephen Colbert Christmas Special soundtrack in the hi-fi and get all BANGED UP! Happy Holidays!!!
If you’re my neighbors, it’s all hallow’s eve.
Don’t listen to these fuddy duddies.
Put them up when you want and leave them up as long as you want.
Easter is a perfectly acceptable time to take down Christmas decorations, especially if they’re outdoors
Some Kommentists just want to watch the world burn…
I always try to wait until after Thanksgiving to go Christmas Crazy. But you do you sweetheart.
As one my mentors used to say….do it until it feels good.
It already doesn’t feel good! How does green plastic cost so much.
Nah, don’t look at it that way. You said it all above.
You’ve carried onward. Do this for you. That’s really all that matters.
You studied under (heh, phrasing) Larry Nassar?
Put it up when you want to and take it down when you feel like it. Keep it up til June if you like.

OH great, Emmanuel heading to the lockerroom.
That’s ok, I didn’t want to win this week anyway.
You will still be tied for 1st.
Nope, Hippo all by hizzself with 2 losses. I’ll drop down with you peons with 3.
And by “peon” I mean….you guys are awesome.
I do have more points than you… FF is maddening.
No YOU shut up.
Yeah Santa Clara won’t put up enough points this half allowing a Seattle come back

yep, another useless thing trying to help assholes pat themselves on the back for doing square root of fuckall.
He takes some getting used to, but Booger isn’t the worst announcer out there.
I still like him quite a bit. Bit unpolished, but he’s fun and NOT A COMPANY MAN.
Far from the worst. I can think of many others I’d like to watch him eat.
No, he’s not the worst, merely among the worst. He must think he’s getting paid by the word.
Kevin Harlan and Tony Romo would be next years dream team.
A Romo for all seasons
I stand behind my philosophy that Jimmy G is a tepid QB, but Sala’s defense gives me lady boners!
Imagine a cocaine dance-off between him and Coked-Up RedZone guy…
Did the C-HOX O-line audible to the turnstile blocking scheme on that 3rd down?
No. Brocky is facing the niners defense.
