Yay, it’s here! And now we have all sorts of tilts with playoff and/or draft position implications.
TO THE GAMES!
Texans/Bears:
Whar is Bears D? After not allowing qb’s to get even 20 fantasy points in week’s 1-11 they’ve given 25 to Rodgers and 26 to Stafford-this bodes well for Watson who is playing out of his mind right now. Keke shone last week in the absence of Cooks but the latter is back after solving his concussion issues.
Cowboys/Bengals:
If you’re looking to stream a qb for your playoff game you’re in a tough spot just like me and you could do worse that Dalton. Due to Cincy’s inability to generate any kind of pressure he should have all day back there to throw to his mighty triumvirate of wr’s. This is probably the most underwhelming ‘Revenge’ game you’ll likely ever eyeball.
Chiefs/Fins:
I’m kinda curious as to what Flores is going to do in this spot. Miami is top 5 in generating pressure and might have the league’s top pair of cb’s in Howard and Jones but Kelce and Hill are nearly unguardable. Stay away from the Chiefs backfield though, it’s a fat mess.
Cards/Giants:
While great strides have been made the Giants o-line is one of only two (Hi, Jets!) that allows pressure on more than 40% of dropbacks. Hopkins has struggled recently when shadowed by Ramsey and Gilmore and today he’ll get the same treatment from Bradberry who is making his own case for being a top 5 cb.
Vikes/Bucs:
Has Tampa fixed their secondary? They’ve given up 376/3 to Goff and 462/3 to Mahomes in weeks 11 and 12. If Dalvin can’t cook (sorry Russ) it could mean that Cousins gets beyond his usual 20 throws and that means good things for Jefferson and Thielen. Things is, Brady should have an easy time of it vs a Vikes D that is 25th in yards per attempt allowed.
Broncos/Panthers:
One imagines what te Fant could do with a consistent qb under center. Of Lock’s 14 games played he’s thrown for over 250 and had more than one score only twice. Robby Anderson hasn’t been talked about much but he’s one of only 6 wr’s that has a 27% or more target share.
Titans/Jags:
Henry needs to average 171 yards per game in order to join the folks in the 2,000 pantheon. Today he has the Jags and then it’s Lions, Packers and Texans. It’s doable. A.J. Brown gets all the press for his big days and his fumbling at the goal line/dropping open passes but Corey Davis should be a top 20 wr today. It’s a limited sample but nobody has a higher percentage of deep passes thrown than Giraffe’s 20%.
Join me in the funny papers, won’t you?
Donks did a woo?
And a DOINK!
We likes to mix things up.
Dependable RB fumbles for the first time in years? Hit the bench!
O-line takes two ligaments and a couple years off the career of your Franchise QB? Still employed!
They couldn’t find a replacement, all the traffic cones in the state are in use
AJ Brown delivers for you.
AJ Brown is a Transformer. I called it.
So is Eric Ebron, or, as he is also known as, Droptimus Prime.
Dude, I dig the Bears unis, ALL THE STRIPES
Really appreciate the way Areola nipped that attempt in the bud.
Teased the striker with a little bit of the goal and then covered up the space.
The NFL should put in their contract with Fox that they can’t run foxnews ads during the game
FoxNews: Half the truth of CNN. Half the Trump fellatioing of OAN.
OANN is “with teeth”
Sound like Biden’s cabinet am I right?
Can we ban Young Sheldon commercials while we’re at it?
For real, having a commercial where Tucker says straight up racist baiting propaganda is at odds with the message the NFL has been pretending to care about this season
Fulham will score again.
Is this your first time watching Mighty Whitey??
Only with the WAGs after the game, I’m afraid.
This season? I mean, probably, sure, what the hell.
FUCK!
firing up the chiefs DEF
hopefully they pick off this rookie
a couple times…
goooo FOOTBALL!!!!!
G-men, showing some bollocks!
They’ve got their trouble bubbles out and ready to rock!
Bend but don’t break, motherlovers!
Weak handball but I’ll take it.
You will win. We are Fulham.
Weak, but he stuck his elbow out and I can’t argue it.
Dammit, Fulham, all you had to do was not use your hands.
NNNNOOOOOOOOOOO
Fuck everything.
Jeez, Andy Dalton is ready for this game. He’s already gone to Super Saiyan God!
Oh Dimes, you fumbling fuckwit.
He do wut he do!
Areola is the breast keeper in the Premier League.
Mrs. Cola “That is an unfortunate last name”
Can we even show his last name without running afoul of our rules against nudity?
Loftus-Cheek is my farting technique in polite company
The Bengals announced the Dallas Cowboys as “Let’s welcome today’s opponent: Andy Dalton and the Dallas Cowboys.”
This organization may be cheap as shit, but they can show some class now and then.
Well, it doesn’t cost anything to show some appreciation, so Mike Brown is all over it.
The main problem with plumbing is that organic matter is fucking disgusting.
Organic matter? Completely unnatural, if you ask me.
Cincy fans should be clapping for Dalton.
They are. We’ll boo during the game but for the first walkup, he’ll get a hero’s welcome.
I regularly eat the “ends” from loafs of bread. I being told this is odd behavior.
Especially if they’re freshly made with crunchy crust… fuck, that’s like the best part of the bread and you should hope not too many know about that little tasty secret
“Nah.”
-ducks
Its odd except if you eat the ends together in a sandwich.
If you end with three pieces left, you must have a double-decker. This is the way.
Not odd, not odd at all. Weirdly enough, even though people didn’t know it at the time, your parents were unintentionally telling the truth when they said the crust was healthy. Bread crust is brown because of the Maillard reaction, and you get extra anti-oxidants
How ya holding up Litre?
FREAKING THE FUCK OUT!!!!!!
I’M a nervous wreck I want this to happen so bad. Say “hey!” and happy holidays to BC Dick.
If we play like this the rest of the way, I think we are safe from the drop.
If you keep playing like this, you could get nine or ten more points before your FA Cup game.
I am fucking losing it. Need to hold on.
I keep turning the TV on and then back off so I don’t jinx it.
Weight loss update
Lost 5 pounds this week. Ran the numbers twice. I know that’s not healthy and will not happen again but damn i feel good about. i pushed my body and mind hard, there’s pride even some arrogance about it. I made that happen.
Best thing I ate this week. Tamale making week in the Spur family, I only ate 2 on Friday. Damn things melted in my mouth. I refused to bring any home.
Not a funny comment, but video games have advanced so much, they showed a video of Daniel Jones warming up, for a second, I thought it was from Madden NFL 21.
It’s actually quite easy to recognize the real DJ – he doesn’t look nearly as competent IRL as he does in Madden
Presented without context (that can be used against me in a court of law):
Morning Folks.
Afternoon from the future!
Have a fighting chance in me playoff matchup with DonT…until I noticed he has el Tractorcito against the goddamned Jaguras today
Curt Menefee: “This is the worst start for the Dallas Cowboys since Troy Aikman’s rookie year.”
Troy Aikman: “Boy, I hate to be that guy!”
NBCSports saying Jacobs is expected to play.
Brandon Jacobs!?
I am worried about snap count….
CEH or Jacobs?
Jacobs or Chark or Parker?
the 3-10 guy done told yeeewwww CE-H ,, smgdh
First Klopp wears his mask wrong, now he’s flinging spittle all over. Fuck him in any and all fuckholes. Such a whinger.
GETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT IIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
GOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL DE LOS BLANCOS!
HE DIDNT TOUCH THE BALL. THAT WAS A PENALTY. FUCK EVERYTHING
/Fulham attacks for the first 6 minutes without conceding a goal against.
British announcer: “Aw look, Fulham thinks they’re people!”
Should have been a goal by Cav.
It always makes me chuckle when an announcer says something along the lines of “they’re really enjoying themselves” after a team has a really positive stretch of play. I would hope that these athletes who are paid millions to engage in sport are enjoying themselves.
Even if Mightey Whitey is shit, these boys get to live in West London. Hell our keeper is on loan from PSG, chose Fulham because he bought a flat in West London.
Due to COVID positive results I’m getting contactless delivery for pizza for games. Trying to wonder how simple I should leave directions, so far I’ve got:
Hang order from the third branch in the tree in front yard.
Align the lava rocks in order by size and weight within five minutes in order to deactivate anti-personnel mines.
Those who try to deliver the power of pizza without the wisdom of breadsticks cannot claim the courage of a tip. (whoever gets this one first get five internet dollars and one no-questions-asked +1)
Place order under banner in front of door.
Any comments or suggestions?
It’s more fun and less (genuinely) scary if you keep it limited to supernatural threats (as opposed to real ones like land mines). Include something like “if a woman wearing a mask and a vintage wedding dress opens the door DO NOT ANSWER ANY OF HER QUESTIONS OR ACCEPT ANYTHING THAT SHE ATTEMPTS TO HAND TO YOU. Set the pizza down as instructed and she will return to her pocket dimension without trouble.”
This sort of stuff:

Does the banner say “Trump 2020: No More Bullshit”?
“Life is better with a cat”, but since everyone is in agreement that Trump is a pussy, you are close.
With all these court rulings, Trump has now lost so much that the New York Jets are suing for trademark infringement.
I’m genuinely shocked that Hue Jackson hasn’t lobbied to be put in charge of the ELITE STRIKE FORCE TEAM.
Don’t besmirch Hue like that. He’s known to win once in a while.
You definitely have to assemble the Shrine of the Silver Monkey somewhere in there.
limped into the final playoff spot in my FF League just to have Gibson(turf toe), Gaskins(Covid), Julio Jones( injury?) to be out. Forcing me to start Ceedee Lamb and course my opponent picked up the Rams defense at the last possible second to tear the Patriots apart. Stating in a 21 point hole.
Yeah, I had to win four games in a row (won last game by 3.72 points) in order to squeeze into last open spot.
THIS PATRICK MAHOMES I CALL HIM THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN BECAUSE I AM 100% SURE HE IS CHEATING AND I WILL SCREAM AS MUCH UNTIL I AM HOARSE BUT I DON’T HAVE EVEN THE SLIGHTEST SHRED OF EVIDENCE THAT SUPPORTS MY ASSERTION.
Um, the evidence is that the Chiefs used to LOSE games and now they WIN them. I mean, come on it’s so obvious they’re cheating.
Fulham is playing a 3-4-3 today against Liverpool, whereas I would have gone with a 0-0-10 if I were them.
Which European Euros was it where Greece basically did that? I want to say 2004 or 2008.
2008.
/Hopes to god no one figures out I have no idea what I’m talking about. Euros? Greece?
Gyros? Yes, please.
2004 was the year that Greece won the Euros by playing super defensive football and waiting for one counter attack per game to try and score. Mourinho enjoyed Greece’s display so much that his right hand had blisters for weeks.
2004 I lived in Scotland and a cook put 20£ on greece before the tourney when he was drunk.

Fantasy football question:
Who should I start at flex? WR Michael Thomas (vs. Philly Eagles), WR Terry Mclaurin (vs SF 49ers), or RB Josh Jacobs (vs Indy)?
Kind on leaning towards Thomas….
McLaurin
Crystal Palace wit the equalizer, but we all know they blow this.
Not on this day, me old son!
I was super happy (fuck Mourinho, fuck Harry Fuckface Kane) until I remembered this helps the Shite.
I put money on Liverpool to score three this morning. This means that the game will finish 1-0 to the Mighty Whitey.
DFO (especially Litre) thanks you for your service.
Yes bud!!
1-0 to the Whitey at the half. Serves me right for betting on a Klopp-managed side.
found a funny:
i saw mommy kissing santa clause now they’re going to bed and my stomach is sick and it’s all in my head but she’s touching his chest now
DFO question of the day. How many dogs does Rockingdog own?
Discuss.
Yes
I got paid $580 for volunteering at my local voting center! My plan is to plug it back into the local economy. Strip joints are part of the local economy, right?
Your goddamn right. Support the economy a dollar at a time.
BOW WOW
thats ROCKING!!!!!
I’m not sure your community understands what “volunteering” means.
California libtards ,, amirite???
“Volunteering” to stuff the ballot box with millions of illegal Biden votes no doubt.
because their so afriad of such a STRONG CHRISTIAN in office smgdh
In case you missed it last night, this happened and almost directly caused Florida to lose the game BIG LOL.

Wilson is definitely going to get an F on his English exam this week.
LSU was led by QB Max Johnson, son of Super Bowl winning QB Brad Johnson.
The one good thing about the Patriot dynasty is it stop that “Any QB can win a Super Bowl” trend that was threatening to start in the early 2000s.
Here is the real question in advance of the early games — has anyone ever tried to barbecue a dolphin? Andy Reid is salivating at the thought…
Well, he’s exhausted all the other cuisines.
/seriously they’re all very tired
In that case, I’m certain he could make room for at least a “wafer-thin” slice of dolphin.
Sharkbait, if you’re out there, RoJo’s receiving yards total is 7 1/2 and the under for Dalvin seems nice.
Ugh, reminds me of the Dingleberry/MRSA Dreamboat “showdown” we will get force fed today. Though I guess would be nice for Tampa to miss the playoffs entirely via tiebreaker.
Does that look like a man who could even POSSIBLY have a soul???
/also methinks Too Many Cooks is nae playing
//damned lucky I have a “bye” in the Terlet Bowl round
///still submitted a lineup because REASONS
The heck? I read just last night that Cooks was in. I try to keep up…
Yep, Rotowire prognosis shifted this morning.
I woke up and ordered print toner. It was so exhausting I had to take a nap. But not before going down a House of Buggin’ hole. That show had insane bits.
IT guy mode engaged… What sort of printer yer using? Be warned – there are plenty of wrong answers 😛
HP. The orderin’ was straightforward. Just made me very sleepy.
Uh, Aitch-Pea… that’s a curse word in the office and at home (especially since the fire) these days, lol. Seriously though – as long as it’s a non-rapey refill cost – I hope it serves you well… if not, buy a Brother – those are dirt cheap to run (and after one bored Friday at work – we discovered that they can survive a 4 floor drop onto pavement) 😀
I resigned myself for being fleeced for ink. This printer is fast and gives a clank and a whirr.
Sorry. I didn’t mean to get so technical.
Better a clank and a whirr than a *beep* and a lithium cell fire like my wife’s last HP laptop 😀
As for being fleeced – you may check on Amazon or the like for compatible toner for the HP, as those can be like 1/4 of the price (and the exact same bloody ink… minus the vice-like grip on your balls and wallet of the real thing 😉 )
I’ll check on the generic stuff. And get an Amazon subscription. Thanks, Tank Man. ✊?
I’ve bought the generic stuff and it’s very, very iffy. Sometimes works, sometimes doesn’t. I don’t recommend it.
“Very, very iffy” was kinda in play for inkjet refills – toner is literally the same shit made by the same couple of vendors, with the only difference being whether you get assraped by HP’s chipped toner carts or something like Brother or Epson’s user-friendly user-resettable ones. Hell, there’s a reason why most IT shacks do their own refills, because toner costs easily add up (especially when the fuckwits keep insist on printing everything at superfine quality) when using the OEM shit. That said, that’s why I suggested Amazon, because that way Don T can check user feedback and decide for himself
Made the playoffs in all $ leagues. It looks like I will lose all 4 matchups today. Le sigh.
Oh and good morning everyone.
Fulham will be killed by Liverpool,
Hurts will be killed by the Saints D
The world is healing.
At least on the bright side – the PC master race rides again with the least amount of bugs on CP2077 AND I got my 1500shp turbine (now if only Uncle Sam were to toss me some rocket pods as a X-mas stocking filler)
Also g’afternoon to you too
I have no idea what that means but if you are good, so am I internet bud!
Just checked the temp. -21, uggh
Cyberpunk 2077 aka… well.. a cyberpunk game set in an alternate 2077… also Keanu Reeves is in your head (it makes sense in context) 😀 Just like every game these days its buggy at launch, but at least on PC it’s mostly playable – on Xbone and PS4 it’s apparently a shitshow and a half
The turbine is self-explanatory – a turbine (and transmission) combo for the Huey 🙂
How is Cyberpunk 2077? Need to know if I should be putting down $80 for what appears to be a re-skin of the greatest game (and meme generator) of all time (Deus Ex) with Keanu Reeves as a voice actor.
On the PC at least it looks gorgeous even on older hardware*, the world looks interesting and the gameplay is fun (though some elements like inventory management and driving need some extra polishing). Not too many glitches and bugs 10 hours into the game and the story (and voice acting) is almost at *real* Bioware level so far.
*since I’m mostly on the couch or barn, I installed it on my old Sager and the 7700HQ+1070 it does 1080p with everything but raytracing on.
Honestly, I’d suggest that you obtain the game via “other means” (because I don’t think there’s a demo or even a benchmark app for this bugger) to test out on your system as there have been plenty of bugs reported online and if you like what you see – buy the game from Steam or GOG
I am debating Footy Manager 2021 (Everton will be less shite!) – but the thought of losing my FM 2020 dynasty almost brings me to tears. THOUGHTS?
Given that for me the pinnacle of the game is still CM 03/04… I’d say that if you’re happy with FM20 and you don’t see must-have new features in 21, just grab a roster update and keep on playing what you like and don’t waste yer money 😉
You can’t import a save game file to the newer version? That surprises me.
Fuck Day 0 patches. Especially those as large as the game itself. Which you already have to download as fuck-ton gigabytes. Even with a disk.
That’s only really a problem if you’re one of the VAST majority of people that are on slow, capped, shared, unstable or otherwise iffy internet hookups… Or one of the even great majority of people that want to taint-punt someone every time you pay good money for a product, that turns out to be horribly broken at launch and you have to hope (and be thankful) that shit gets fixed eventually (probably by the community, because the overextended dev team’s too busy implemented lootboxes and battle royales by upper management) and not see the whole game (especially an always-on one) go down in flames in its first months so badly that it becomes literally unplayable…
TL;DR version – FUCK YOU TODD HOWARD, BETHESDA IN GENERAL, EA, Ubisoft and the rest of you scumbags 😀
