, , , , ,

Are you ready for some football Christmas?  It’s only 10 days away now. I was at the mall last week to try to finish some of my shopping.  That’s the first time since I was in a mall since March.  Had to answer a bunch of questions on the way in to make sure I’m not with the Covids and everyone had a mask on, which was nice to see. But way too many people there still.  And it’s probably the last week of the schoolings for the kids, so I’m looking forward to the break and time to do less.

Hopefully you are still in the LDB challenge.  It should be easier to make it this year with all this *gestures randomly* stuff and so much less being open and to do. Speaking of the whole pandemic thing, it was very encouraging for me to see the first few people get their first doses of the vaccine yesterday.  Not that I’ll be eligible to get one until the summer cuz I’m not in a high risk job or old enough to be high risk, but it gives me hope that we can to begin the process of returning to “normal” and whatever that new normal will look like. Mainly I’d like to be able to see friends again but like inside a house or restaurant.

Today is national cat herders day.  Not even sure what that is and kinda scared to google it to know more or why it’s even a thing.  It’s also national cupcake day, so you’re allowed to indulge on cupcakes today guilt free.  Not like we don’t indulge every day. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Enough of my ramblings, on to other things.

NFL Stuffs

To no one’s surprise, Jalen Hurts to start again in week 15.

Jacksonville to be starting something called a Gardner Minshew this week.  Sounds like it’s to showcase him for a trade.

Deebo Samuel out indefinitely with a hamstring owie, which makes Brandon Aiyuk fantasy relevant again.

 

Other stuffs to watch

JV Hardwood sports ball

There are a few games on:

Minny at Illy 6PM DFO ( ESPN2)

Wichica St at Tulsa 6PM DFO ( EPSNU)

*Note that this post originally went up last Tuesday but there was already a game thread post by scotchy, so this one was moved out a week, so there are painted lady pics below. JJD is not a time traveller

Stay safe our there campers.

Hey, DonT, I heard Puerto Rico got like half of the amount of vaccine expected. Was the other half tossed around like paper towels or is this typical mainland bullshit?

CONCACAF CHAMPIONS LEAGUE ACTION!!

I did see something on that but thought it was a replay of the game

I watched the Montreal game.

Mr. Ayo

New York is playing a university club? Is that right?

2
ballsofsteelandfury

Yes and they’re losing.

So that answers the question about the Jets.

Mr. Ayo

And a back heel golazo! This shithole team is way better than us.

And a third!

I’d say relegate NYCFC, but what league is pathetic enough to accept them?

1
Senor Weaselo

All I know is NYCFC is somehow in it because I saw an ad on the YES Network.

Ask me if I care. Also I think they have to play their Champions League games at Red Bull Arena because the Stadium isn’t satisfactory. It was satisfactory for Louis-Schmeling II and Ali-Norton III!

I’m sitting in a parking lot waiting for the restaurant to call me and tell me the to-go order is ready. Not public enough to feel safe sitting alone in the car and not private enough to rub one out.

I remember the old days, when NFL games were played on Tuesday. So very very very long ago.

Senor Weaselo

Senor: Well my numbers are in for my healthcare.
Everyone: Are you doing anything the next few days for a gig?

And then I had to fix my numbers.

Good problems to have

I’m one of the few somewhat-active working musicians in the city! Because the Orthodox ain’t care. Thank goodness I haven’t played any of those 5,000+ Williamsburg events in the #NuAIDS era.

I’ve been on all the sites-Nike, Asics, Saucony, New Balance, Adidas-not a one of them features a “Run Away From Your Problems” shoe.

Trying to feel positive during the holiday season but the Fireplace Channel reminds me of that time when I slit the throats of Snap, Crackle and Pop.

They say that if you occupy a playoff spot at thanksgiving, you got a pretty good chance of making the Stanley Cup Plyoffs. Well last time I checked the Sensators were tied for first place. Go Fightin’ Eugenes!

I read that as the Fightin’ Eugenics and figured Donald Sterling and Jerry Richardson had combined to get into hockey

Anyone else leaning hard into a workout regimen in anticipation of eating like Andy Reid on a “cheat” day during the holidays?

Yeah I been leaning hard.

I see we’re doing Xmas carols, at least in some of the earlier threads.

That just gets better and better as it goes on.

So I read on Sunday on one of the Sillycuse blogs that I follow that Boeheim was looking to throw a team onto the sked before Saturday’s tilt vs Buffalo. Lo and behold they’re playing Northeastern tomorrow afternoon at three. Y’all can make fun of The Senior Nose Picker (and I do) but that guy has pull.

1
Horatio Cornblower

Boeheim is that guy who’s been around forever and somehow has managed to win one less national title than Tyler Olander, right?

2
scotchnaut

The only rebuttal I can give you is that without him the program would be on the same level as Iona. And it will eventually go in that direction after he’s gone.

yeah right

Want to see a headline we’ve been waiting too damn long to see?
