Your Regularly Scheduled NFL Monday Night Football Game Open Thread

And there’s two more after this one! HAIL SANTA!

Fallout:

-Congrats to Double K-he’s the coach of only the third team with the most wins in the league (tied) that has lost to a team that had the worst record since the merger in 1970.

-Injuries-Godwin is gone with a shredded ACLU, Steelers tight end  Friar Tuck drove himself home after the game(!) and Teddy Ballgame is out of the hospital and into concussion protocol.

-The coaches on TEAM’s good-luck habit of licking each other’s faces after practice every day has come back to haunt them. About seven of them (and counting!) won’t be able to weave their less than adequate magic on the sidelines tomorrow.

-Horatio Alert! UCONN’s women’s basketball has fallen out of the Top Ten for the first time since 2005. Wow, 2005, we were so much younger back then.

-Hippo Alert! The Wolven men’s BB squad is on probation for a year because of some funny business with a recruit’s family and some money from Adidas. Have these clowns not heard of a no-show job at a booster’s car dealership or somesuch? It’s not hard to cheat in college-you can look that up in Wikipedia if you think I’m wrong.

To The Game!

Vikes/Bears:

-As is obligatory when the Bears play in December, one must mention the weather-it’ll be 25F and the winds will be coming out of Valhalla.

-It’s Called “Creeping Socialism”-The Vikes lead the league in sacks with 41 but no player has more than 6-just wait until Minnesota republicans hear about this ‘share the wealth’ scheme.

-Personally, I’ll be cheering for these Nordic warrior people because the Giants have Chicago’s draft pick-two in the Top Ten, one in the stink, baby!

-Still, we must not discount the Vikes habit of playing close games, playing down to the competition and frittering away leads late in the 4th quarter-not exactly a winning formula.

Do your thing.
