Slight Emergence Into Reality – Saturday Open Thread

I actually turned on my teevee box these past two days, and boy howdy, did it feel weird.  Actual sportsball content!  Plus a veritable marathon to come this afternoon.  This will certainly not heal our land, but I will take the brief interlude of distraction.

What else goes on in our sheltered, shut-in lives?

I was slightly annoyed by Donks WOO!!! going back to the WR well in Round 2, but realize my judgment is likely clouded by my much stronger irritation in how much of a bust our last Paedo State receiver pick has been.  But then to get Cushenberry in Round 3?  ALL IS FORGIVEN, HAIL TO OUR EQUINE LORD AND SAVIOUR.

The QB Jakes continue to slide precipitously.  Poor fuckers.  When will good looking, athletic white guys ever catch a break (smh)?

Still some small school OTs on the board, and a developmental guy could make lots of sense for Denver.  We can likely afford a redshirt year, especially with expanded rosters coming in 2020 (assuming we can has gamez at all).

Pretend Everton continues to charge forward.  We brought Lucas Digne back to the squad for a 2nd act, and he’s been quite tidy.  DCL and Mason Holgate are beginning to slow down now, and that makes me sad.  But fuck, I need them to make it to their testimonials.  What a special, simulated day that will be.  About time to finish my fixture away to Carlo Ancelotti’s (yes, he went back) Chelski.  A win likely takes me back to the top of the table.

Still haven’t won Shempions League A or the fucking cursed Caribou Cup, but we did win last season’s FA Cup in an absolute cracker of a tie with Arsenal.  Nil-nil after normal time, each side scored TWICE in extras.  Including a Leroy Sane breakaway, full-length of pitch charge to equalize for the Mighty Blues.  At the very, very death.  Whistle blew right after the ball came back into play.  And I won on pennos, thanks to the also slowing down Jordan Pickford.  He’s now playing like 40% of the time, I brought in a hotshot Chilean kid who somehow has an even bigger chip on his shoulder.

James Madisson joins at the NYD start of the January transfer window.  Should be the final piece of a real Prem/Shempions A contender.  Will I stay up all night to find out?  MAYBE.

Enjoy the Draft, and whatever else gets you through your Unabomber Bunker Day.
