Did you miss the football? I did. It ain’t hurt that some excellent games fell into our laps last weekend. (ya got lucky, Shield) Hey, looky here, the Giants are finally(!) being featured in a nationally televised broadcast. Took long enough. Is that the grinding of teeth I hear out Puerto Rico way? They haven’t been competitive since 2016 but it sure helps to play at the center of the universe.
Some good news-my “Zero Talent Running Back” strategy paid off in fantasy for one week at least. If paying off means “scoring the third-least amount of points but was playing against the guy that scored the very least”.
In injury news (there’s always injury news) Demarcated Lawrence of the Cowboys is gone for a month or two. That just made Justin Herbert’s job that much easier this weekend. Psst! It was always going to be easy.
To The Game!
-Saquon is listed as questionable and I wonder if that extends to his chances of success this year. Week one over-reaction? Yes BUT that o-line is a disaster in the run game. He’ll probably get even less carries/action than he did vs Denver given the quick turnaround.
-That’s the same o-line that Gettleman had so much faith in. (since the last preseason game he’s traded for two players and grabbed three others off the scrap heap. One of those scraps is apparently getting his 1st start at the center position tonight. Yay!)
-Taylor Heinicke is the man at the helm now that Harvard has left the building. He dropped back to pass just 53% of the time last week, indicating that the playbook is likely to be scaled the fuck back. But wait-didn’t he acquit himself well in the playoff game vs Tampa last year?
-The game has taken on a bit more importance to those of us that watch the pitiful shenanigans in the NFC East. Fans, neutral observers and sportsmouthers all agreed that the Eagles would be garbage but they looked okay in week numero uno. (what’s it like to feel hope Litre?) Some team will be sporting an 0-2 blemish after tonight and the heat will be on.
Say what you want down below-you’ve earned it.
Going to read, nighty night!
By the way Dark Side of The Ring, the plane ride from hell is a doozy.
A little bit of booze was consumed on that plane.
The shit those flight attendants went through was horrific. I guess Flair won’t be debuting for AEW any time soon.
Even if this game was terrible, execution wise, I enjoyed it coming down to the final play. That’s the kind of drama I need in my life. Not the kind where I have to avoid ex-girlfriends’ houses or schools or goat farms because of some drunk indiscretions.
Those goats cannot keep their damn mouths shut.
That’s how the whole thing got started.
Ah football… where men are men… and the sheep are nervous…
Also works for Wales.

Giants D with the Phoenix Wright “HOLD IT!” after that shank.
That was hilarious!
It was almost perfect, for a fixture where I could give a tin shit about either participant.
Bleergh has overthrown Shank’lor, much like Zeus once overthrew Cronus.
I thought BLEERGH was higher that Shank’lor?
It makes sense, but ruins my joke.
WOW
BLEEEERGH!!
Wide. Fucking. RIGHT!
Off. Fucking. SIDE!
Some epic self-dick-shootery, that!
I honestly thought Washington was going to run it up the gut there and time would expire, and then I would never stop laughing until I died.
