Was The Game of the Century everything you’d hoped it would be? Certainly the rain helped but I figured it’s deep down in Belichick’s bones, the desire to ‘ugly up’ a tilt that has so much attention drawn to it.
Fall Out:
-The Non-Apology Apology Tour continues. “Distraction”? Is it really possible to be an ubersuccessful college coach and not be that far up your own ass? This is typical, “Oh fuck, got caught. Meh…” That’s what you get for renting a coach for one year, Jags.
-Careful What You Wish For: Chapter The Two-Trey Lance was inserted (ewww!) into the game and cruised along at a 50% completion rate and had some yards and a few scores and a QBR of 39.4. He not ready either.
-Addition By Subtraction, thy name is “Jon Bostic Season-Ending Injury”. I noted just yesterday that one of the most obvious weaknesses in the previously-vaunted TEAM D was the immense lack of coverage ability exhibited by Mr. Bosco. Next man up, I guess.
-The Chiefs D has been sui generis (may not mean what I wanted it to but I’m up against the cloche. But I’ve got faith that DC Steve Spagnuolo will get things figured out. He’s been down this road before and Mahomes and his buddies can buy him some time by decorating the scoreboard a whole bunch on a weekly basis.
To The Game!
Raiders/Chargers:
-Does anyone think that Carr can keep this up? Second-rated passer? Only 2 interceptions? Tossing the ball downfield on the regular? Or will he have the same weird late-ish career renaissance that Rich Gannon had? Nope. Everything Chucky sneers at turns to mud.
-Even if you buy in on Carr you can’t leverage it in fantasy of DFS because all six of his TD throws have gone to separate players.
-There’s a sizeable hole in the Chargers o-line that goes by the name of Storm Norton. Herbert has been side-stepping/moving up in the pocket constantly and hasn’t been nailed just yet but it’s coming. Last week Norton gave up 11(!) pressures all by his lonesome. Paging Maxx Crosby.
-As someone playing Herbert, Allen, Williams and their kicker, is it too much to ask for a little ol’ shootout at SoFi Corral?
Have at it you animals.
Is there a patron deity of blocked punts?
What is the master list of deities?
Hippo would know but he sleepy me thinks.
BLATT, SON OF SHAN’KHOR
Punter was faking it. No one touched him
Damn, just found out I need to go to Anaheim for the Quarterly meeting. I hate flying into LBC and John Wayne never has workable flight times .
ANAHEIM???
I probably should have finished off that episode of Squid Game before tuning in to this game.
Eight! Eight legs! Did I win the game?
Oooh, sorry. We were looking for blank ink.
Better luck next time.
Tagliatelle with capers?
“That was a helluva march!”
-MLK
THIS DONALD PARHAM I CALL HIM “ANTONIO ‘BATES” CAUSE THE WAY HE PLAYS TIGHT END FOR THE CHARGERS MAKES ME HORNY
Parham? Is that like Rum Ham?
I’ll take 2 pounds!

Don’t even THINK about giving Roundtree the TD.
Ekeler ded.
If that is the case I have no reason to watch.
Chargers in the unique position of trying to silence their home crowd.
This is so sad.

AHEM. IN THE OLD DAYS THERE WAS BETTER THUNDER AND LIGHTENING
Derek Carr looks like Marv from Home Alone
/revision/latest?cb=20181130172050
I took overs all the goddamn place for tonight’s action, so THROW IT DEEP, GENTLEMEN!!
Rex Grossman nods appreciatively.
It’s like they told the announcers to just talk to stall. It’s so terrible. Makes me wish for Collinsworth and Buck, or a large bus heading right at me at 90 mph.
Need after-9-Budweisers Harry Caray
Buck then bus then Collinsworth
Whenever people type that they “binged” a show, I like to imagine them Bing-ing it for some reason and being mildly disappointed in the search results. Just a little fun game I like to play.
I imagine them narrating it as Chandler from Friends.
“Could this show BE any darker?”
Carr super pumped after being able to listen to the extended mix of “Bela Lugosi’s Dead” because of the delay.
I used to write RFO (reason for outage) summaries and reports when I was working in the broadcast world. I pity the person at Facebook that has to write up this outage.
Ok, at first I read that as “reason for outrage” and I wondered if you had moved on to writing clickbait for social media.
Me too!
Good thing Eli is not doing this game. No way it would end before his bed time.
Kid has to watch “Brokeback Mountain” for one of her college classes (something about critical race theory probably) and she’s using my Amazon Prime account to watch it for free.
Looking forward to the “if you got horny watching THAT movie, boy do we have some cool stuff for you” recommendations.
Its a love story.
yes it’s about cowboys who love cowboys and rednecks who’d love to drag them behind a truck
You more Bear or twink? I used to work with 2 Turkish guys who were one of each. Still together 18 years later!
I mean, how could you possibly separate them?
Otter. Wait…what are we discussing again?
You’ll probably get stuff like greco-roman wrestling, competitive dance, and Leonardo Dicaprio movies.
Ever watch gladiator movies, Joey? Ever seen a grown man naked?
I’m in weight loss mode these days but had chicken wings on the weekend. I guess I just went through my own “Lightening Delay”.
That’s terrible you should be proud
Yesssss
I think we are willing to weight
Okay, got my awesome FA involved. How is a dome having a weather delay exactly? Enquiring and drunk minds are sorta curious/NEED TO KNOW
The sides are wide open and lightning is a clever bitch who can move laterally?
Real north south runner, none of this sideline to sideline shit.
Thunder and Lightning, Oh Yeah!🎵
Viva will get it.

Booger is SHOCKED that a city that used to host a team, that always travels well, has a lot of fans in the stadium.
The Matron Saint: “There is a sea of black here”
Brian Griese: (inhales)
Producer: “Cut his mic”
What is the delay for?
Spanos refused to pay for the Charger team stadium water bill. Management locked the doors to the field until he paid.
Chargers being boo’d off their “home” field. Good times
This is the week we needed the mannings. Would like to see how they would have killed this time.
A Clifford the Dog jigsaw puzzle is my best bet.
Real reason for the delay, Spanos is closing a deal to move the team to Boise. They’re trying to get the team name updated.
Boise White Lightning
HOLY SHIT. we need to start making shirts now. UPS is gonna go bonkers trying to figure out the uptick in Idaho deliveries
So. Much. Dead. Air.
Matron Saint doing her best and I’m a fan of less talkie.
Donks/Steelers next week if aa pick’em.
that could be BENs last start
And then it’s off to a bathroom stall upstate.
Good riddance!
THIS GAME SHALL NOT PASS!!!
that stadium is going to run out of beer now
As long as they stocked up on meth they should be OK
I don’t think THOSE Raiders fans are buying Sofi tickets.
(who the fuck am I kidding all Raiders fans are meth’d)
I am in favor of this delay, it means I will get to listen to the end of the game once I land, and can frighten people by yelling about an actual thing that is happening
People on the East Coast must be going nuts over this delay.
Like me. I’m going nuts.
Thankfully, Hippo had a nap. And is mostly made of caffeine.
Jesus Christ, Ted. Just fucking resign already.

Ted Cruz has an ugly wife, according to Trump.
Also he’s not an American.
I’ve met Heidi Cruz. She’s ugly on the outside and the inside. Trump was actually right for once.
Has anyone asked him why he wants to have sex with the President?
Always like to hear from the guy whose Dad killed JFK.
All kidding aside, this is utterly immature and pathetic. Trump has turned the GOP into childish trolls. They’ve lost all sense of decorum and class and just sit around trying to own the libs. Pieces of shit, every one of them, and Cruz is right at the front of the Trump ball-licking queue.
His Dad killed plenty of Cubans and when the Party checked in on him after complaints he ran to Canada.
40 min delay? WTF
Oh shit! I am on a plane without streaming access! But it is okay! Go desert plague!
A lightning delay for a Bolts game seems like a good omen.
[sound of femur drums intensifies]
[thunder rumbles]
THAT’S BOLTMAN’S MUSIC!
Evening Folks
Oh damn. The Matriarch is showing her shoulders…
She liked our respectful compliments last week.
Wait. There is a rain delay, IN A DOME??
I mean, THANKS OBAMA!!!!1111
Remember when all the football coaches were old? Thanks to Donepezil, I remember.
I remember when most of the people listed in the obituary pages were older than me. The gap is narrowing.
whar eli and peypey?
Back week 7 I believe.
80% Raiders supporters in SoFi, 0r 95% Raiders supporters in SoFi?
Oh, come on. There are bound to be several thousand Chargers fa–you know what? I can’t even finish that sentence.
There should be pockets of business shlubs in the fancy-pants seats who don’t care either way.
O/U until Brian Griese lets fly with his first racial slur?
Don’t be such a nagger. He’ll dance a jig and boo the losing team. If the lights go out, he’ll say it’s dark “y de miedo.”
Too much?
too much is NEVAR enough
cant believe I miss Mannings on Monday Night
I just said the same thing to a friend. I doubt Steve Levy can top Eli flipping off America,

I am hoping for a 1980s Raiders-Chargers game, but I fear we are getting a 1990s Raiders-Chargers game.
Just win, baby
Thunderstorm in Los Angeles!
Very cool!
Sounds like a war out there!
Reminds me of home in D.C.!
This vindicates the two months that I’ve been procrastinating on getting my car washed.
I love it when a plan comes together.
All we need is a major earthquake right now and they’ll be making movies about this for the next decade.
I’m watching the pilot of “La Brea” (it’s not very good, I just wanted to see my neighborhood get destroyed)
We had an excellent thunderstorm in North Cakalaky too. Nice for napping.
Dr. Nick is prescribing ivermectin, and I say that with 110% certainty.
Not for covid, just in general.
Hi, RTD!
Well howdy-doo!
