Your Sunday Night Exhibition Football Open Thread

Shall we try again? I was putting this together, talking about various weathering when the power went out at my place. Shall we?

As Ida gives Mississippi and environs the old ‘what for’, a tornado warning was given for my area here in the boonies. Growing up, this simply was not a thing but all things change, including long-term climate conditions/patterns! Don’t fuss, the deck chairs were (once again) evacuated to a safe space and were given new socks and a warm meal.

-Jax handed the Cowboys a humbling that they will not acknowledge. Hey, it’s preseason. Lawrence’s prodigious forehead was 11-12 for 139 and 2 TD’s. Did he do it vs. the #1’s? I didn’t watch but if that were the case Horatio is in for tears this year if a rank rook can slice and dice Jerry’s minions like that.

–Thoughts and Prayers Don’t Work!

Many thanks to those on the site that pointed out yesterday that JK Dobbins almost certainly had an ACLU tear. While there were no prayers on my part there were thoughts of, it’s just a bad-looking sprain. All for naught. He done. Congrats to those that got Gus Edwards on the cheap-he’s my pick for a potential league winner.

-According to rumor, the Jets swapped out Lawson’s. Looking for a replacement for Carl at edge they found (courtesy of the Texans) a Shaq to replace him. Another smart-ish move that helps coach Saleh-what’s going on?

To The Games!

Vegas/San Fran:

Jimmy G started but Trey came in right quick on the first series. Controversy?  Nope, Jimmy was right back in. Lance played well but did dink and dunk for the most part. Niners up 20-3 right now.

Fins/Bengals:

Tua out and Burrow is in, for all of one pass. Cincy is up by 6.

Giants/Pats:

I read the comments on a Pats blog-no, not the one on the Stormfront site but does it matter? The first one that caught my eye was, “I truly wish to God that Cam was not representing the team that I love and follow”. The next was, “I’m following Tom and Tampa until the Pats move on from Newton”. This was in one thread!

Browns/Falcons:

This is the final game until Thursday the 9th. Savor it. Baker and a light dusting of other starters are scheduled to play.

There may be some other things to entertain you. Are The Simpsons still on?
