Well, that was an interesting weekend of games and this morning continued in that vein. A few things have already been discussed but I must do my thing.
Fallout:
-Millions of fantasy players woke up to discover a black hole in their lineups. El Wheelchaircito is done for awhile and he’s such a unique player that the usual handcuffage will not be sufficient. The Titans themselves acknowledged this by signing the corpse of Adrian Peterson. Remember his work for the Lions? Guh.
-T’was a great day for backup qb’s yesterday. Rush, Siemian and White all put up great numbers on the stat sheet and on their CV’s. I guess this is why the same names circulate around the NFL year after year-they were asked to simply ‘not fuck up’ and instead made plays that were the difference in their games. Coaches remember that.
-I wonder how long Cal Ridley just tried to ‘tough it out’ before realizing that his mental health issues required more attention. I imagine that mindset is entrenched in football at every level.
-Von Miller was sent to the Rams for a second and third and I like it. This rental wants to put a (second) ring on it and I admire LA’s moxie. I sorta made mention of this when talking about Cincy. So many teams that feel that they are cruising (or even on the cusp of being well above average) simply stick with the status quo and hope everything will work out. Adding more talent usually works out to be a positive.
To The Game!
Giants/Chiefs:
-It’s Just That Bad: the KC D has given up the same amount of points as the pitiful Jags-203.
-Thing is, their losses are against teams that are all headed to the playoffs. The Ravens, Chargers, Bills and Titans (maybe an asterisk here?) aren’t exactly bottom feeders.
-It is funny to me that both these sub .500 teams are scratching and clawing for different types of relevancy.
-Electric talent Kadarius Toney is back in the lineup and so is Shepard. So that helps. Hopefully OC Garrett’s playcalling-which has been outstanding the last three weeks-continues to move Dimes around in the pocket and finds wr’s in space.
-On a personal note, I hope that the Giants Hands of Stone tight end Evan Engram is held out of the game at the last minute because that would mean that he’s been traded.
Type the stuff that you like to type.
Woohoo, this is gonna be fun!
The way I see it, the Chiefs are on a 1 game win streak.
Lost by .01
Yikes
The look on Eli’s face says that before ManningNightFootball, when the family is watching football, Peyton grabs the DVR remote, rewinds and dissects the play ALL THE TIME.
No timeouts? Need to drive 55 yards?
You need Daniel JoHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH-inhales-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA-inhales-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA-forgets to inhale-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA-dies
It’s always nice to survive in SurvivoUr with a team you would NEVAR EVAR want to pick again the rest of the season.
That screen shot is literally the only way anyone will ever know what a Brian Griese autograph looks like.
BLEERGH feasting tonight
Am I losing it, or is Sassy Ref extra sassy tonight??
I haven’t seen this much sass since I stopped watching RuPaul’s ‘Drag Race’
Turned out it had nothing to do with cars.
“We’ve replaced Horatio with Buddy Cole. Let’s see if DFO can tell the difference.”
You flatter me, Sir, but I am simply not deserving to be mentioned in connection with such rarified heights.
Pretty sure he’s more well known for his rarified bottoms.
I’m enjoying this reminder of what I’m missing in Dallas from the Jason Garrett years: every offensive play designed to get no more than 3 yards, no matter the circumstances.

Trump voters are grabbing scissors and duct tape because if they won’t make it, they’ll make it themselves.
I will absolutely manufacture and sell those exclusively to Trump voters.

“Oh sure, but when *I* say that male-to-male insertion is bad, they call me a bigot” — Jerry Falwell
These teams are combining for the absolute dumbest performance I have ever seen.
And I say that hating the taunting rule, which is just overblown nonsense.
Evan Engram: Useful weapon?
Moar liek “Evan Engram: Useful? Weapon?”
Showcase to Green Bay
Peyton going over football pays on a TV screen looks like its giving Eli PTSD flashbacks to Junior High.
Michael Irvin up next
Somehow I’m not surprised Michael Irvin’s house looks like Al Pacino’s home from “Scarface”.
BRING OUT THE COKE MICHAEL IRVIN IS HERE!!!
What has happened with the Chefs? Are they hurt or has the league figured them out?
Andy Reid’s back to being the Andy Reid we knew from before.
.
I think a little of column A and a lot of column B.
His love of turnovers is contagious.
And his defense is as useful as a security guard between Andy and a buffet.
Woohoo – Andy Reid’s gonna waste a challenge!
They must have a shock collar on him; he was going for it.
BLEEERGH!!!
3rd and 11
Me: The Giants should watch Hill.
Giants: We absolutely will not.
Peyton: Takes the game seriously and considers all pass drops as Cardinal Sins.
Eli: Just happy to be on TV, like a big boy!
TYREEK WOO!!!!
Personal Foul on New York?!
YAAAASSS, gimme some bailout BLEERGH
No Arrowhead dB rumble now.
Peyton was playing pocket pool!
Giants…did a good?
Andy Reid is so gape-jawed at all the penalties he looks like someone took his end-of-quarter baked ham.
I’m truly shocked that a team led by Andy Reid is an undisciplined mess.
Just absolutely fucking stunned.
His Dad of the year award agrees with you.
Gravy-filled coffee mug with ‘World’s Best Dad’ painted on the side.
I’m beginning to understand the culture of permissiveness that led to Britt Reid’s driving offences.
Riddick: “With a good first down gain like that, you open up your entire play book in terms of what you want to do next.”
The Giants promptly punt
Wow, a fumble recovery giving the Giants good starting position. Will this lead to them getting that FG I need for the win?
Still early enough for them to think 2 FGs is a workable strategem.
I can live with a PAT and a FG later, I just suspect that the Giants are going to find a way to cock this whole thing up.
And actually the way KC is playing the Giants wouldn’t necessarily be wrong to think 2 FGs would do it.
Tyreek Hill pleading his case to officials, something he’s pretty used to by now.
I love how Yahoo! thinks Booker has a 16% chance of committing multiple turnovers the rest of the way.
I’m ALL FOR THIS
Also not gonna happen as you’ve got the win in FF
In-com-PLETE!
Donks WOO!!! homer cheering for a Chefs win, I would feel dirty but have less than zero pride
Ottawa LULsators losing big to the Chicago Blackhawks; does Ottawa support sexual assault? Otherwise why are they letting this team win?
It’s because Matt Murray is an albatross around the team’s neck. FUCKBALLS!
FUCK Matt Murray
ALL MY HOMIES HATE Matt Murray
turns on TV; sees The Miz in the Bottom Two of Dancing with the Stars
Wow, Miz is still on the show. Maybe the judges will save him.
sees the other couple being the first time all-female couple
Thanks for coming, Miz.
I have no idea who The Miz is, and thought Redshirt was humble bragging about having a girlfriend for a minute.
1.) The Miz is a wrestler for WWE. Pretty underrated and actually a nice guy living the dream and married to a Playboy centerfold.
2.) THANKS FOR REMINDING ME I’LL ALWAYS BE ALONE!!!! (runs out of room crying)
I ate so many potato chips that I barfed. Karen C. is half ashamed, but also half proud of me.
I babysat some kids when I was around 13 or so. One of them ate a zillion chips and barfed in his bed that night . His bunkbed. I never watched them again. But that wasn’t even the worst one. I babysat a demon spawn named Harris who threw his daschaund at me and knocked me down a steep flight of stairs. I left him and his sister alone for three hours in a crazy thunderstorm. He was much better behaved after that.
I once told a little shit that I was watching that I was only doing it for the money, and that if he could pay me more than his parents were I’d leave right then.
He scrounged up like .23 and told me I could leave. I locked him in his room and wouldn’t let him out until his parents came home.
I was not rehired.
Harris was such a notorious monster that his desperate parents did rehire me. At like 10 bucks an hour, in the mid seventies.
Think how much they would have paid you to murder him.
Does Danny Dimes enjoy being concussed?
The Giants QB room is full of anti-inflammatories in lollipop form.
I think its like drinking. You only get the hangover when you stop.
One must presume he was concussed in the womb and thus has a natural affinity for it.
Anything to forget hes on the Giants
Who gets rid of “The Chop” first: Kansas City or Atlanta?
Kansas City will never get rid of “The Chop” as long as Andy Reid is around.
They may eventually take “the Chop” but they’ll take his Tomahawk Ribeye when they pry it from his cold, greasy dead hands.
I would say KC because The South, but GA is shifting left about as fast as Missouri is shifting right.
They built their new stadium in Cobb County to get away from the urban types. The racism is still very strong there, even though the politics are changing.
You would think that “playing baseball” would give them snowflaeks enough safe space away from “the urban types?”
Turner Field was in a poor neighborhood.The crackers were skeered to go there.
Pretty sure either team doing that is one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse
This seems like as good of a place as any to announce that while I was clearing some bamboo from my yard I found the corpse of a squirrel literally hanging from the branches.
You either die to the VC’s bamboo torture or live long enough to become them and use it yourself on squirrels smh
Work like a squirrel, chill like a panda.
I have identified a potential suspect
I mentioned this a few weeks ago, but our older, and nearly feral, cat disappeared a few weeks ago. She has not come back, and I am now convinced she is dead because we now have birds and squirrels in the yard in numbers that I haven’t seen in years.
They had her killed, no doubt about it.
“Is this feeling I have… caring?” — Jay Cutler
“The squirrels must have found out what happened to Charlie Chirps, and so they had Mittens whacked. It was real greaseball shit. And there was nothing me or the boys could do about it.”
Joe Judge: “As a team we’re going to be disciplined and we’re going to execute properly. That’s what I’m going to focus on.’
Giants Penalties: “Holding. Delay of Game. Holding again. Offside. False Start. OPI. Holding X3.”
Dunno what is sadder, the Tits signing Purple (Balls) Jesus, or that I have him 4th in my waivers queue.
Without a waivers claim, byes and IR for my top FOUR running backs mean Boston Scott and Salvon Ahmed would start.
