Well, you’ve probably heard by now that Tuesday Night Football has morphed into (first ever?) Wednesday Night Football. All it took was a bunch of plucky Ravens team members/staff testing positive for eight days in a row. What kind of hellfire will The Commish unleash on this team after the whole thing blows over? He seems like a petty sorta guy that doesn’t like or want change of any kind. Maybe a fine that would cover any number of costs incurred by moving the game? A draft pick or two? If it is the latter he should bring Thor’s hammer down soon to serve as a lesson (in his mind) to the rest of the teams that perhaps have some dumbass jarhead in their weight room spouting batshit conspiracy nonsense. (some of these folks aren’t well edjumicated) Why yes, I do like to paint with a broad brush.
Fallout:
-How does this affect fantasy leagues? Will the points still count towards your week 12 totals?
-I find it funny that as I type this NFL.com doesn’t have the news up yet. Somebody’s asleep at the monitor!
-Much is being made of poor quarterback play yesterday (the Hill/Hinton combo especially) but there was a shit ton of lousy coaching as well. For my own cheering purposes, the Giants play on extra special teams almost blew the game if not for a desperate tackle on a punt with less than 5 minutes left. As Hippo has noted, dumbasses taking no risks whatsoever in order to get the W seems to be achingly commonplace now.
-The Niners have finished Raising Arizona as a possible place to play. It’s now a go.
-Thanks to some very grateful Lions fans, The Deshaun Watson Foundation has had its coffers added to. A heartwarming gesture, to be sure.
TO THE GAME!
Seahawks/Eagles:
-Both the Cards and Rams pulled out their stumblebum routines yesterday, giving Wilson and Co. an opportunity to tighten things up in the NFC West this evening.
-Maybe we see some Jalen Hurts tonight? The clamor to have him in there keeps rising and rising. “Why is that?”, you ask.
-There’s this boob that goes by the name of Carson Wentz and it sure does look like his time is drawing near. He leads the league in intercepts, (14) fumbles on sacks (7) and dropped intercepts (10). You know what that is, right? That’s when a defender is so astonished at a pass headed his way he muffs it. Either that or a guy playing in the secondary is there for a reason-he’s got the Stone Paws. [pours acid on open wound] Oh, almost forgot, his uncatchable pass rate is 25%.(!) One of every four, folks.
-He might still be passable [snorts] in this game because Oof!, every team that has played Seattle has gone for 300 passing yards, 2 TD’s or both.
-Injury-wise, Ertz has the hook and Chris Carson and his hard-running style is back in after four weeks.
-The Eagles have gotten stingy with wr’s recently and haven’t allowed a TD to that position since week 7. I’ll bet both Lockett and Metcalf break that streak tonight.
What say you about all these shenanigans? Type away my friends.
If Wednesday’s game is postponed again, i win. If not, i need Wentz and DK to score some more tonight.
So we have a 3:30 Wed. afternoon game, no Thursday night game, and a triple header on Monday?
12:30 PT. Like NFL in London
Gumby has a doctor’s appointment at noon on Wednesday in Loma Linda. We’re going to miss the whole fucking game, assuming there is one.
We did a field trip to Loma Linda Med College or whatever the fuck it’s called, back about 1975 or so. They had this museum room full of freaky fetuses and such. Hydrocephalics, anencephalics, Siamese twins, you name it. Creeped me the fuck out. I wonder if they still have that room. All the displays were obscured until they raised a venetian blind in front of each one. Seventh Day Adventists, what will you?
Yeah, they’re weird as fuck but the docs there are the best around.
I actually was accepted at their university/medical school out of Redlands High but decided that medicine was not how I wanted to spend my life. Too much gross stuff to look at.
Evening.
We finally got a guy to rinse out the bad mouth Walsh.
Who in the philly secondary is making Lockett invisible tonight?
Maddox I think as Slay is on Metcalf.
Theres the DK fumble
So, is this drama with the BAL-PIT game merely the first domino of the ultimate cancellation of the season due to hurrying back to work too soon? I hope not, but I am not optimistic.
If they have to they’ll just call off a couple weeks then go playoff bubble(s). Way too much TV money on the table to close down the year
I heard the Ravens were threatening to not play. Is that true?
I read they were prepared to strike for the right to at least one physical practice before playing a game.
You’d think it would be the Steelers not wanting to play the Baltimore Typhoid Marys.
And?
If they don’t have the playoffs in a bubble situation, they’re nuts.
They’re only now considering a playoff bubble. They’re idiots.
It’s not like the other major sports went with that approach successfully already.
NSFW for harsh language.

This drama around the game is an indication of how desperately the NFL wants the season to continue no matter what. Certainly not a harbinger of the season collapsing.
If “I shouldn’t have eaten all that cheese” isn’t on my tombstone, then I’ll know I had no true friends in life.
Deep ball coming to Metcalf. Book it.
We’ll pound the rock first. Or try to
I wish Viva’s civil war came to pass.
2020 is not over yet.
We closed on our condo today and I’m already coming up with ideas for running cable through the walls to underutilized rooms.
Plus I need a spot for my server
That reminds me. I need to look into the fastest possible connection before the end of the year so I can write it off.
Oh, right. I’m too poor to get deductions thanks to the Republicans.
Telecom in this country is a fucking joke
No kidding.
Griese borrowed that fugly jacket from his dad.
These Goeddert points do help.
Theres the Region of Room.
Barry > Myles Sanders
Jeffery v Flowers should be used on every play. Flowers is bad
These ESPN graphics effects make me feel 20 years younger.
They’re programmed in LOGO
A course they use a break in play to show the Chiefs and Bucs highlights.
I’m kind of pulling for Iggles here, in thanks for the big va fanculo of votes they gave the Orangeman (that didn’t go to Syracuse) during this last election.
Plus if they win they’re back in first!
I neglected to mention that! Which also puts DAL in last place in the NFCE.
FLY EAGLES FLY
These are all good things
Welp, I guess we’ll do this all again on *checks sundial* Wednesday?
Later,Taters!
Ya know. I grew up on Sportscenter and Primetime; everyone did. Really trying to remember the last time Berman sounded good. Its been years for me. Maybe decades.
Yeah. This is sad.
Those shows used to be as cool as the other side of the pillow.
Back when the League was ruled by Favre, Elway, Young, Marino, and Kelly.
Joe Montana would not tolerate this slight, but he’s already gone upstairs for the night to masturbate.
Neil O’Donnell led the 1995 Pittsburgh Steelers to Super Bowl XXX.
And let’s not ignore the magnificent leadership of Stan Humphries.

Jeffrey Toobin needs some suggestions
PRAISE SHANK’LOR
Fantastic
Congrats on the nut, blind squirrel!

Derp
Guess I will watch the 2nd half.
Lookee there, a touchdown!
Touch … down?
If you don’t cut that out, you will end up with hairy palms in hell!
That’s an old wives tale. At 61, my palms are still hairless, despite…
I always wondered where that idea came from. Does anyone ever have hair on their palms?
Even lower primates don’t have hair on their palms, and if my visits to the zoo throughout my life are any indication, those guys are worse than 13-year-old human males about that activity.
Every lawyer here is looking down nervously.
Are you calling Sister Virginia a LIAR! She will bust a metal ruler over your knuckles and make you say fifty Hail Mary’s on your knees in the basement of the convent.
Good drive. Helped by the non call on grounding but Hox have had plenty of chances to get stops
Carson Wentz is that guy in your workplace that has been struggling, and things aren’t getting better despite the fact that he’s making a sincere effort. You and your fellow employees gather together at the writing on the wall that he doesn’t know about. A candle is burned.
So i should hold on to Jalen Hurts?
If the Eagles lose tonight the pressure to start him will be immense.
Grounding.
How the hell did Philly manage to win 3.5 games?
NFC East and crippled 49ers.
Griese wants to have Dakota Jeebus’ babies
So is this game anything close to good?
Not unless you’re praying at the altar of GAMBLOR tonight.
How much do you enjoy seeing dudes pile on Wentz?
Might be my favorite porno. No homo because clothes stay on.
Liking it so far. Spoiler: Hox fan
So, is that lady Baker Mayfield’s wife IRL, or just some actress?
If noted authority ‘the knot news’ is to believed
She must have pissed off the make up artist on those commercials. She looks a lot better in this photo.
She’s not doing the “ultra wide open eyes thing” that insurance (and most other) ad makers think is totes awesome.
She’ll probably end up, at some point, as the right wing blonde replacement for the Hasselbeck woman or Meghan McCain on The View.
are those map coordinates tattooed on her arm?
Highlander/Connor McLeod-like immortal who accidentally got caught up in the whole Dachau thing?
Takes a new meaning to “There can be only one.”
Of course, it may be a UPC code-bar, so maybe “There can be only ones and zeroes.”
Who has the ‘game over’ notebook? Best get writing in it
Chris effing Carson. Sucks he can’t stay healthy
He just doesn’t have the body type to run as frickin’ hard as he does but he does it anyway. Love that guy!
Threw it away too well
The charm was slung, indeed.
Penalties are not helping here.
So the O/U was 49.5 and Seattle -6.5
“We took the under!”
-Men At Work
+1 Vegemite sandwich
I tried that stuff when I was on liberty in Perth back in 1984. Shit was fucking awful.
It is absolutely the worst. Aussies say it is an acquired taste. Fuck acquiring that one.
Vegemite is god awful.
It made that Colin Hay singer dude from Men at Work get Marty Feldman Eye.
Wonder what the 2nd half line will be, given Philly’s inability to offense whatsoever?
ETA: it’s 3.5. Holy shit that seems low.
This MNF booth…seems like they’re trying just a little too hard?
One thing I really miss that Covid has taken away? Sitting down at a bar, drinking a cold draft beer, filling out a newspaper crossword and minding my own business.
The dive bar special
I mean he grabs the shoulderpad
ESPN really stirring the shit to set up their talking heads HAWT TAEKS with the consent zoom-ins of Hurts, the GM and Owner and now a graphic with Wentz’s salary.
JJD,artist’s concept:
last funny:
Republican senators who used to say they hadn’t seen Trump’s tweet that was read aloud 17 times on CNN every hour are suddenly going to be intimately familiar with years-old tweets from Biden nominees.
And if they had any balls they’d tell those Senators to go fuck themselves.
Can I say it? D.K. Metcalf is a Julio Jones that actually produces.
Metcalf hasn’t had his weekly fumble yet.
I would much rather keep seeing Wentz in there
just kick the FG now.
