Have we reached the denouement phase of the evening or are you still going strong? I’d love to say that like a few of you, I’d be able to sneak away from obligations and watch me a little football but I don’t think that’ll be the case until at least the second half of the game. Oh well…
To The Game!
Indy/Arizonny:
-The Colts will force Kyler into an interception because he’s been a giver in 5 of his last 6 and Indy leads the league in forced turnovers with 17.
-If Jonathan Taylor (current status: Invincible) scores a TD on the ground this evening he will set an NFL record with a rushing score in 12 straight tilts.
-One must think that Kyler is much more beat up than is being let on, what with rushing for a mere three yards in that pathetic loss to the Lions last week.
-The duo of Conner and Chase have their work cut out for them since the Colts allow the fourth-least fantasy points to the rb spot and rank 3rd in run defense DVOA.
-Third Time Lucky?-This will be the third week in a row that Arizona will try to clinch that elusive playoff berth. As noted above, things didn’t go all that well in Detroit last week but t’was the same deal with the Rams before that.
-Though it’s unrealistic for them to catch the Titans in their division, with a win the Colts chances of making the playoffs rise to 82%.
Go after it in the comments.
I declare my Beef Wellington project a success.
The reveal.
Looks amazeballs. Totally underrated dish.
Ooooh, yum! Your duxelles look magnifique! And the pastry didn’t get soggy, bravo!
If I ever get to use a time machine, I think I’ll go back and pose as a fake notary in charge of the Three Stooges’s contract, so it will be invalid and they’ll get to negotiate a fairer shake because of it.
Just watched an episode of the Robocop TV show from the 90’s. It’s so campy
Taking Bonfire Cult’s lead, Spam and Balls’ Bruins are laying the groundwork to weasel out of facing NC State on Tuesday. BOO!!!!!!
Dammit, haven’t seen anything yet. Sincerely hope not.
For the record, I am a fan but Balls is the alum. His fault when you think about it.
The last thing I saw, they left a few players behind. Did it get worse? I hope they get to play.
Joy to the World, you get mini-Hippo Thoughts in the morning. I want to do my (very little) bit to justify the big imaginary bucks DFO pays me.
Give the governor harrumph!
My beef tenderloin was good, but I burnt the shit out of my arm getting the ludicrously huge roasting pan out of the oven. Apparently my sisters in law roast oxen or something. So I’m having 2 (two!) glasses of wine and mucho marihuana. If it gets silly in here, you have been warned!
Sorry about your arm, but at least you’re treating it properly.
I’m practically a doctor.
The great unspoken is the kitchen scars.
Look, I got this one lifting an aluminum pan by its side.
It’s alright it was only roasting for 3 hours.
YES I love a good steak,

The Colts unimaginative play-calling consisting of running Taylor right into the asses of his linemen reminds me of the Giants last four OC’s.
And Buddy’s fantisies.
The Colts prevent defense may prevent me from winning this week. I need Taylor back on the field.
Prater’s day would have REALLY pissed me off, if I wasn’t already out of money league playoffs.
Instead, it just made me HARF. Fat people are the WORST.
/yes, Hippo is also fat (and fully included)
Is it even necessary to hit Carson Wentz, Cardinals?
Seriously. Just give him one of these, he’ll crumble into dust.
Pretty sure Patmon is a rasta name.
Patmon Oswalt’s standup routine about smoking a KFC bowl is an all-time classic.
I’ve pretty much given up on my hopes of Taylor running wild tonight.
He’s going to have to get very lucky on a defensive breakdown.

Colt McCoy might be the team MVP.
