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.
Nailed It!

I will not atone for this.
Good lord. This drive is reaching last 5 minutes of an NBA game status with all the whistles and stoppages.
less bass thumping, tho
Kinda pissed we missed seeing a “13 men on the field” penalty.
I mean, if there’s anyone you can trust to win it with a placement kick, it’s a Florida State dude.
The Washington Riverboats: Who says no?
I thought we agreed on the Washington Sewage Leaks.
BLERGH
3-D chess level Giantsing, stopping the clock like that
NFC East Football:Sometime good games, Sometimes bad games, either way you will 15 primetime games.
Say what you will about this game, it’s held my attention.
Green bottle beer time!
Gmen are being too cautious here. All runs, gonna be 4th down, kick a FG, WFT drives down to win with a FG as time expires.
I think we’ve reached a consensus that there has, in fact, been a sudden change in this contest.
We really Blair Witched it.
Late game turnovers and missed kicks present the biggest Blair Witch opportunities
And now we turn to page 394, the hymn “Why Would You Do That?”

From what I can tell watching while my computer updated:
Saquon Barkley is healthy, but doesn’t have the evasive agility to avoid tackles. If he stays healthy, that should come back (mental blocks – “If I juke here, will I hurt my knee?”)
Taylor Heineke seems to be a decently good QB. Not a franchise but he won’t make a— nevermind.
Lol McLaurin with the self-rub-route.
Nobody’s coming in with the masturbation joke, really? None of you? I’m disappointed in all of you.
This game has aged us
Reminder – Danny Dimebag has still YET TO FUMBLE.
Sudden change!
SUDDEN CHANGE
Well, that was a Sudden Change, even by Sudden Change standards.
SUDDEN CHANGE!
SUDDEN CHANGE!
Golladay and Jones don’t seem to be fans of each other.
They weren’t in Detroit either!
Ohio Rep. Anthony Gonzalez won’t seek reelection in 2022 (cincinnati.com)
The GOP exodus continues….
I’m the Ohio GOP will replace him with someone even worse.
Safest bet this side of whatever Costa Rican Third-Tier soccer league Hippo and Litre are on about.
There was a time where all we could gamble on was Costa Rican and Belarussian futbol because those countries didn’t get the Rona.
Yup, but the Ohio Democratic Party is a clown show so the only difference is the Ohio GOP will be farther right.
They should bring back that mob guy, what was his name…Tancredo? Fredo Tancredo.
No, James Traficant is who I was thinking of. He was a piece of work.
This goes one of two ways, right? The GOP wins and the US becomes an ethnofascist theocracy, or the GOP implodes and the Dems split to restore the two-party system, right?
Just hoping some of our Canuck brethren will sponsor me when I emigrate.
I would but I came down here for work. Curse the whims of the academic job market!
So either I defect to Canada or I join the Progressive/Whig Party?
Well I may be overestimating the minimal moral compass of US centrists. Maybe they’ll just continue to run with the Overton window, but I’d assume that there’s some point at which they’d break.
Los Gigantes are gonna fuck this up, aren’t they?
they already kind of have? Not much time left to unfuck it.
I think the fuckup was the Slayton TD drop. So yes.
I would advise everyone to NOT be a Northern Ontario hobo this weekend.
Ricky Seals-Jones? We is being visited by the Ghost of Bye Week TEs Past!
Well, that didn’t take long.
I know we’re all just awake waiting to see how this turns out:

Saprissa has made me money.
but the Guanacasta Coast was where I went on my Divorcemas trip!
All 3
SteveDarius Slaton fantasy owners just walked into traffic.Back to back false starts after a dropped touchdown? That’s Giants football!
It’s probably good that Scotchy wasn’t alive to see that.
you know, alive/awake, same difference
Giants are Giantsing
somehow, I am not against Gano in fantasy
It seems maybe I should have started this Shepard fella. But fuck’s sake, he’s behind Cooper, Deebo, and Justin Jefferson.
Is #22 former TIT MAN Adoree Jackson, or one of the 100s of Other Jacksons?
Was it Tito?
So am I missing football or football-like product?
Is this your honeymoon yet? Is good of you to check in.
Working this week, like an idiot. But riding the post wedding high!
Woo!
is YOUR TURN next, kid!
I assure you this will only be brought up once, twice TOPS. Per week, for the next 25 years or so.
The latter. For sure
I made a really good pizza for this suckfest. Seems like overkill, could have just made some pb&j’s.
But it was really good pizza!
Pizza makes bad football good.
Yup. And copious amounts of weed.
That’s a lot of baking going on. Well done.
Do the pizza toppings contain potassium benzoate?
Wait, that’s a Simpson’s thing…Frogurt!
oooooh, we should patent a frog-flavoUred yogurt, sell good in the Bayou
BLEERGH has declared this, to be his (her?) feast day
“You know what’s good?” said the guy who drafted Saquon. “When the QB has more rushing yards than Saquon. That’s fan-fucking-tastic.”
Evenin. What did I miss?
one, perhaps two horrific leg injuries?
Please not Gibson.
first was an interior OL for NYG, none were skill playas
Gumby has him on his team too. He also has Danny Dimes on his bench, in case Stafford gets blowed up.
A shit ton of Ble’ergh
mixing deity nomenclature, how deep in the freezer vodka is you?
I’m halfway to ArmedAndHammered the 3rd.
I cringed and I laughed. My son has arrived, he is now a measure of drunkeness. Must admit more than he has accomplished so far…
Scab quality reffin’ tonite
I mean, you expect Li’l Danny to always be in a RITE2WURK!!!1111 state?
HAIL BLEERGH?
Danny Jones…competent?
Its was behind him, high, and into a crowd. A triple threat pass.
Just logged on and I am shocked that no one has seen fit to point out we have two booth guys who stink and a sideline gal named Pink.
Do any of you guys reach Campbell’s chunky soups?
Other than the chance to see yet another year/career ending injury, this game is boring me. So am going to go read. Goodnight
Riverboat Ron can build a D though.
Without overthinking, would you rather be a good oc or a good dc?
Good DC. Championships. /s
Probably the OC these days. You get all the advantages.
Taylor seems more of a influences purchases rather than a decides purchases.
Dimebag didn’t fumble even ONCE that half!
Still an entire second half to cough one up.
It doesn’t matter but I think a lot less of Rivera having taken the WAS job
He already had cancer when he joined, so dealing with Snyder seem easy.
There are 32 head coach NFL jobs. Pretty much required to take one if its offered.
By Einstein’s definition of insanity, most NFL teams are barking mad.
FedEx turf gets another one

These [*Redacted] s uniforms actually look a lot better (especially more clean) than the old [*Redacted] s uniforms featuring that old [*Redacted] head.
Ahhhhhh!
