It’s hard not to be excited for this one, isn’t it? But first, let’s do
Fallout:
-Foles is in and we’ve likely seen the last of Truth Biscuit in a Bears uni, barring injury. Looks like he becomes just another backup that floats around and you hear his name and say, “He’s still in the league?”.
-Another candidate must be Team’s Haskins. His QBR is 28, 10 points behind backup Kyle Allen’s 38. His percentage of uncatchable passes sits at 31.1% which is 10 points higher than the next in line.
-More qb news? Okay, Carson Wentz has also been all kinds of awful-on passes beyond 10 yards he throws an uncatchable ball an amazing 62.2% of the time. The next worst guy is at 50%.
-Josh Allen made believers out of some folks but not me. But then I looked at one stat and did a double-take. He sits at 13th in the league in adjusted pass completions and his PFF passing grade is 5th so far this year at 83.9. You know what might help to improve his play even more? (see below)
-I’ve whined about it, and Hippo has made mention as well-GIVE THE BALL TO SINGLETARY MORE! Yesterday he ran 13 times and had a 5.5 ypc average. He was also thrown to 4 times and made off with a 12.5 yard average. You add that up and it’s 17 touches. I’m not pointing this out as a fantasy guy but as a football fan. I just don’t get it-he’s a dynamic back that simply doesn’t get the opportunity to show what he can do. Gah!
TO THE GAME!
Chiefs/Ravens:
-there’s so much to talk about it’s hard to identify what is most salient but I’ll kick a few cans around.
-K.C. must be stout on early downs so that the Ravens are put in 3rd and long situations. The Ravens convert on 44% of 3rd downs which is a middle of the pack number but are still successful. That’s due to the fact that they don’t see that many because they’re getting fresh downs earlier in the possession. On 4th downs Baltimore led the league in conversions with a gaudy 71% success rate.
-The Chiefs need to target the lb unit because it consists of two rooks and 30 yr old L.J. Fort. Tight ends for the Texans and Browns have feasted to the tune of 16/148/2 so far this year.
-Speaking of te’s, Mark Andrews lines up in the slot 66% of the time so he should see plenty of Honey Badger. That matchup should be interesting.
-You figure this one will be close and high-scoring which means that someone will have to make a play to get the W. Lamar? Pat? Tyreek? Chris Jones? Dobbins? CEH? Who’s it gonna be?
CAN’T WAIT! for you to provide commentary below.
Sleepy drunky time is here. Nighters!
Last time the Lightning won the cup, there was a lockout the following year. This time there’s an expansion team next(ish) year.
RELEASE THE KRAKEN!
(After another season)
If I can’t hear the guys I know who are working at the arena boo Gary Bettman I will be terribly disappointed in them.
Doc Emrick going on and on about the noble tradition of the post-game handshakes like it’s a hari kari ritual by defeated warriors and not a bunch of sweaty guys shaking hands before going out and getting drunk.
On top of Corey Perry losing, which is nice, former Bruin Tyler Seguin ALSO loses. Which is nice.
Also the Bruins already lost, so it’s like the winning never stops.
Fantasy owners of WRs and RBs have to be hating this game.
Greetings from the new casa right San Pedro dojo. We’re in. Goddamn I haven’t been this beat up since the last DFO gathering. I can see the Vincent Thomas bridge from my porch!
Fuck that moving shit with a broken rake.
Oddly enough I broke a rake last time I moved.
Will also accept new rake as a housewarming gift.
Weird thing is I’m not kidding, also broke a table.
So far not a single plate, glass or anything has been sacrificed. Best of all two days after the move all of my fishies are still alive and swimming.
Why didn’t we set up a go fund me for yeah right to afford movers. No one should have to move their own crap.
We had movers do the heavy shit today but we’ve moved boxes, kitchen appliances and a goddamn fish tank ourselves just to be safe.
The traditional way to move a fish tank is to take the fish and water out, first.
Laurel and Hardy would like a word.
We did. Three five gallon buckets of their original water but you can’t add the additional 25 gallons of water too quick without killing the whole tank
We’re up to about 30 gallons and it’s a 40. Long haul project.
Feels like Dallas has had the puck in the offensive zone for 90% of this period, and NOTHIGN to show for it.
YARD SALE!!!
Chiefs offense line more fantasy relevant than the Giants
Jeez, this is on the verge of being a Rodney King-level beatdown.
King was losing by 37 until the settlement.
FATDOWN!
The best kind of touchdown
ppl forget Edmonton won more Cups after trading Gretzky than Gretzky did.
/I think.
You are correct. 1990 Edmonton beat Boston. 1993 LA Lost to Montreal
NAWT FAHHHHHH
The last Canadian*/Canadien Cup! The Gretzky Curse!
*: if Montreal even counts as such
1990 was the one where the ice was melting in the fahkin Gahden and there was fog all over the place. I think they had to postpone a game because of it.
Edmonton has won 5 total, 4 with Gretzky.
I had to look that up, but I can tell right away how many Hartford won.
I always narrow it down to Messier-he won 2 more cups, one with the Oilers and another with the Rangers.
Heather Thomas has not won any Stanley Cups, but probably should have.
She still won a couple great cups in life
Dallas down 2, deep in the Tampa Bay zone with less than 5 minutes to go and passing the puck back and forth. Didn’t realize Mike McCarthy was coaching the Stars, too.
Are they hoping that Dan Quinn is coaching the Lightning too?
“And in a remarkable display of confidence Dan Quinn has pulled his goalie wit 8 minutes left and a 2 goal lead! I’ve never seen anything like it!!”
Mahomes with more poise in the pocket than Alanis morisette
Ironic, dontcha think?
You jerkoffs. Take your +1s and go take a celebration piss.
I think he likes me!
I lost track of which season I last watched of Fargo. To be honest, I’ve seen so little TV if you told me there was a long-running sitcom about Walmart I wouldn’t blink an eye.
I only watched 3 all the way through, thought it was great.
I’ve heard season 4 started very slowly. Which would make sense, given that episode 1 aired last night.
Geez. The first round of Image Comics had a less glacial release schedule.
If someone told me 3 years ago that Ryan McDonagh and Kevin Shattenkirk would be Stanley Cup champions together, I would’ve lost my shit.
Ha ha, the joke’s on the pope: Gene Simmons is a Jewish guy from Israel!!!
As we say; that’s the jo………….
New line; of KISS branded communion hosts he released
TURNS OUT BALLS HAS A CAT!
GET ON THE GUS BUS!!

Synchronicity 3
Latest season of Westworld looks bad.
Looks like a step up from the mess that was Season 3.
yeah, I haven’t even finished it.
There was a good idea in there.
Exactly how Hue Jackson drew it up in the huddle.
I could never understand why someone would name their child after a city in central Vietnam that was the capital of Đàng Trong from 1738 to 1775 and of the Nguyen Dynasty from 1802 to 1945. Lots of US Marines died there at one point, as well, but they were losers and/or suckers.
Check it out! Viva Raza is Jared Kushner!
Only the last sentence, but only after being informed.
SLIGHT CHANGE!

Geese are notoriously territorial
Geese are assholes.
I think you should sing your swan song.
Damn it
Bjork threw more punches there than in the last 10 baseball brawls combined.
Certainly more accurate and powerful.
Jesus. This will haunt me
“You kids wanna see a dead body?”
You mean that thing is alive?

My bad, coach.
I had that same reaction in the men’s room at work last week.
Gate Flies Open, the site for Rodeo satire and dick jokes.
This sorta needs banner consideration.
PRAISE BLEERGH
FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW
PBUH!!!
Chiefs don’t need a dominant D, just an opportunistic one that gets turnovers here and there.
I’m convinced, Lamar Jackson can run the option
SUDDEN CHANGE that probably won’t really make any difference.
Sudden change….?
Immediate giveback in 3…2…1…
Damn close.
I call this game the Karma Sutra cuz the Chiefs are fucking the Ravens in every position
Pat Mahomes might have a career at this. Just a thought.
If it doesn’t work out, he can probably milk the State Farm ads for a couple of years anyway, and smart investment could make sure he has a comfortable life.
Still a Top 5
Just let go of the bike kid
He never wanted to have kids, anyway.
This seems like the most lopsided season I’ve ever watched. Just skip to the conference championships already.
Bears-Packers then
Bills Chefs? WHO IS THE BURLIEST?????
Whoa, the pathetic jockeying for first place in the NFC East is worth its weight in Rosie O’Donnell.
This is why you don’t stage dive at a James Taylor concert.
If that’s the rain, what’s the fire?
Chris Berman.

I thought that dude retired a decade ago.
He did, and they brought him BACK
He is the unbald.
Matron Saint looking lovely as always.

Lamar! starting to look like he wants no part of this.
WWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
The asshole not paying attention deserved everything he got…. so yes, I agree.
This is a bigger mismatch than the debate tomorrow.
(j/k Lamar ain’t a worthless cumstain)
Sometin wrong with LAMAR.
The Butler didn’t do it
HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYO!

Can’t wait for the line when the Cheifs play the Jets later this season
I just checked Vegas and they are 57.5 over the Donks.
Would not bet.
As it get closer they will push it up to get cents on the Donks.
Donks or at all?
Asking the real questions.
Hippo will bet the coin he flips.
Per the internet The largest spread ever was in 1976 when the Pittsburgh Steelers were 27-point favorites over the expansion Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who finished 0-14 that year and might be the worst team in modern NFL history (at least for now).
Coach John McKay:
“Well, we couldn’t pass, and we couldn’t run, but we made up for it by not tackling.”
triple digits?
