We’ve reached the part of the sked where some Saturday games are played and that’s just fine with me. At the rate things are going, I’d like to see a triple header a week from now and maybe a midnight game as well. Call it The Full Moon Bowl. Lean into the shit, NFL, just blow it all the fuck up-maybe 24 straight hours of football the last Friday of the regular season? How ’bout it? I’m in!
Some Thoughts/Updates:
-I’m glad to read that Chargers tight end Parham is (relatively) fine-t’was a wee bit scary seeing his lights go out live.
-There’s another two-timing coach in the NFL! Ok, maybe I should be more specific about Sean Payton: he’s gotten Covid for a second time.
-TEAM, in desperate need of someone, anyone, to play on the defensive side of the ball on Sunday(?), Monday(?), Tuesday(?) has just lifted two difference makers in Allen and Sweat from the Covid list. Surely it’s just sweet timing but one must always give the side eye to Washington when circumstances appear a bit serendipitous.
To The Game!
Pats/Colts:
-I thought I had a league winner in rb Taylor but Old Bill is going to take him out of this game, isn’t he? The dude has been averaging 140 yards from scrimmage so even if he’s slowed down a bit he should get 100 and a TD, right?
-Speaking of being taken out of a game, Macaroon Jones has been taking quite the ribbing for tossing a mere 3 passes in the Windy Bowl last week vs Buffalo. Folks might want to be aware that in the three games previous he had a 6:1 TD/INT number, a 79% completion average and (somehow) an 8.8 ypa.
-Damien is out tonight so rook Rhamondre (Woo, spelled it right without even looking) gets the rock. Earlier in the year he got the “Robinson Treatment” in that he was benched for fumbling but he’s worked his way back into the good graces of The Hoodie.
-As opposed to the Pats stifling D the Colts are a bit up and down. Over the last 10 games they’ve held 6 opponents to under 20 points but in the other 4 the other team has gone for 30+.
Do some jibber-jabbering down below.

For anyone still awake, the Fresno State game is replaying right now on ESPN.
I had Little Caesar’s pizza today for supper; my wife and I were shopping all afternoon, it was getting late, and there was a Little Caesar’s right next to our last stop. I guess I need to eat there every 10 years or so to remember why I don’t eat there more often. I know that even bad pizza is okay, but if we were smart we would have just grabbed a couple of pretty much any frozen pizzas, or maybe one of those $8 ones at Costco, and they would have tasted about the same or better.
You need to get the deep deep dish. Otherwise, it’s cardboard.
Goodnight my darling dears. Tomorrow we football again!
Congrats to Louisiana on this game. Good game.
I have so much cheese.
I work for a cheese company. Every year, they hand out cheese boxes as part of a holiday gift. This year, due to COVID, they cancelled the cheese box. Sure, we get a blue tooth speaker, some tumblers, and a really nice jacket, but I would trade all of that for the cheese box. 5 year aged cheese is so fucking good.
Pats lose. Booo
Fantasy opponent got 9.3 points out of Stevenson and Meyers. Yay!
Man, a lot of dirty hits today. Number 22 ejected. There might be a fight by the end of this one.
Also before I forget check out and consider signing

Hopefully them senators/congress extends this Child Tax Credit
That’s would be ROCKING!!!
Will do.
Now THAT’S rocking!
I signed it, but as long as Manchin and 50 Republicans are against it, it ain’t gonna happen.
I was getting all wound up about how Manchin is a total POS, but I guess I’m falling prey to Murc’s Law – only Democrats have agency.
I’m still pretty stoked that Doug Ericksen is dead. What a piece of shit. The world is genuinely much better off.
Jesus says “Love one another. Except Doug Ericksen. Fuck that guy.”
Oh thats good.
Last funny;
Still laughing about the fact that Louisiana Sheriffs cited “dog unemployment” as a reason not to legalize marijuana.
Because, you know, meth and fentanyl don’t exist. But, really, it’s so cops can still have more arrests to make them feel like big men. I just don’t trust cops or white southerners, and the combo there of is worse.
As a stoner when it was illegal up here I do not trust cops at all, I have seen a couple “findings” because the cops were bored. I still do not when cops are anywhere around me.
You aren’t serious are you?
No, at least one absolutely did that. The argument was that they’d only been trained to sniff out marijuana.
So let the dogs retire early after half-assing it through a “career” just like most human cops.
Time to watch Louisiana and Marshall.
To the Gamblor machine!
That hit on Harry should have been targeting. That was a helmet to helmet hit at the back of the head. WTF refs?!
I didn’t see it that way. On the replay, (and I doubt they’ll show it again), I thought the defender went head first into his shoulder pads.
Are there exceptions for if the defender is going for the ball? I can’t recall, but Sendejo looked like he was trying to intercept the ball, not to hit Henry.
I doubt it, but don’t know for sure.
REFS: [look up from where they are huddled together reading the NFL’s new coronavirus policy (or lack thereof)] Did somebody say something about player safety?
Just break Jonathan Taylor’s neck. Let the lawyers sort it out later. This is bullshit.
This is the problem with NFL coaching staff today: they’re all too soft to call this play. That’s what winning takes these days.

JONATHAN TAYLOR IS A GODDAMN MAN!!!
THIS GUY JONATHAN TAYLOR, I CALL HIM IVERMECTIN BECAUSE HE’S KEEPING THESE COLTS ALIVE IN THE PLAYOFF HUNT!
Ahhh shit dicks
I step away to get some water and
RB Taylor Thomas finally goes off
WELP
Yooooo
Pats with the TD drive
Now down 3pts
This game is ROCKINGGGG!!!!
In the time you were typing this…SUDDEN CHANGE!!!
Santa Anita Racetrack strikes again.
heading for biggest choke involving a colt since Catherine the Great
Well, not a great night for former Clots, I guess.

Wentz is so hilariously bad that the Clots have lost 3 yards on the last two running plays and they’re absolutely going to run it again here.
Qb run…..hahaha
I mean, it makes sense. Wentz can’t throw an INT, you burn time, and maybe you get Wentz killed and can go play a new QB.
Colts calling time-out here to remind Wentz that they are wearing blue tonight, not white.
P*ts D: we will stop the run
J. Taylor: No the fuck you will not
Guy is an absolute beast.
I mean, this is a Dome game. And Wentz has completed FIVE GODDAMNED FORWARD PASSES. Including one shovel pitch.
7 actually. It’s just that two went to the Patriots.
I’m a bit baffled as to why the guy in the Bud Light seltzer commercial has such a HUGE bathroom behind him. It looks like a locker room shower room in there.
I wish I had a partial exoskeleton so I could punch myself in the fucking brain
So, having seen this movie before, I’m calling a Pats TD here, followed by Reich (justifiably) taking the ball out of Wentz’s hands and running the ball, but the Pats will know that the Clots won’t let Wentz throw again, so it’s a 3-and-out, followed by another Pats TD, followed later by a FG, and a 24-20 Pats win.
Down 20-7, 13 minutes left…and a tiny little ray of hope appears. It may be squashed later…or maybe it won’t.
Yep, that’s that Bahstahn sports booking right theah.
