Hey, don’t get mouthy, it could have been Giants and TEAM playing here.
To The Game!
Cowboys/Eagles:
-Dallas Gotta Get Them Turnovers-in three of four games where they didn’t generate a takeaway they did come away with an L. In those three losses they gave up an average of 30 points and 438 yards. The Cowboys overall success really does run through the defense.
-Covid has run rampant through the Eagles, what with 12 players being assigned to “The List” back on Monday. All are eligible to play tonight so good for them-they’re vaccinated.
-I won’t get into the details but both squads can jump up a spot (Philly) or two (Dallas) if certain teams do certain things in certain ways. Hope that clears things up for you.
-Corey Clement Revenge Tilt?- Zeke (banged up in perpetuity) and Pollard (ruled out with a foot owie) need rest. I’ve a feeling that at least the 2nd half belongs to old CC.
-Speaking of, it’s gotta be a Cooper/Minshew fight to the finish eventually, right? The winner gets all the batteries.
-Dallas is coming off a disappointing loss to the Cards so there is an argument to leaving Dak, Amari and Ceedee in there for a wee bit. Heading into the playoffs on a two game losing skid is most likely not a good thing.
-Devonta Smith needs a mere 37 yards to beat Desean Jackson’s rookie wr record. The Good? He’s gotten this far on a team that very clearly has embraced the run for the balance of the season. The Bad? Dallas ranks #1 in DVOA vs WR1. Still, all it could take is one long toss.
Enjoy the NFC East and what it has on offer.

Hey Moose. If you’re lurking, I miss your crazy shit. Come back soon.

A friend came over for chili, beer, and a Gordon Lightfoot documentary. Now that’s a Saturday night.
Ugh, my GWS membership isn’t properly linked to my watch AFL account. Now I have to email possibly the friendliest customer service people in the world.
Seriously, check out this auto-reply:
Hi there!
G-MAN and GiGi are on Santa’s nice list this year and have earnt themselves a well-earned break.
Our Membership and Ticketing Team will also be out of the office too and will be back from Monday, January 10th to answer your enquiry.
Once again, thank you for your support throughout 2021 and we’re looking forward to a Big Big 2022 Season.

That’s awesome! I had to contact the Geelong team too. They were SUPER friendly and I got the subscription straightened out right away.
Yeah my only real complaint is I think I’ve had to do this two or three years in a row….
Me too. I never get the email to connect the WatchAFL app. But they’ve been really good about it and it’s been really fast.
With a sufficient pre-nup, I will marry the first dude who sits through a live version of Carmen with me. Lesser terms for other operas.
I’m taken but have no qualms with fine arts. I can ask around for like-minded friends.
Likewise. I always liked the
opening fanfareoverture from Carmen.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmuFOuh3QHs
The overtures tend to be a sampling of all the best. Carmen is heavy on the first act, and not sure the overture goes beyond. Pretty sure it doesn’t actually. But covers the tiny soldiers and the habenera so good.
I have some friends you could easily seduce with just a couple of Bugs Bunny cartoons. They don’t even have to be the musical ones.
Don’t act like you don’t love Wagner.
The NVA doesn’t

Classic
The maybe kinda fucked up thing, there’s a reason Wagner works so well here and it’s because war has been expressed by music far longer than it has been expressed visually, or at least in dynamic video format. I won’t scoff at “Guernica” as capturing a moment, but there’s a lot more violence and sex in pre-WW1 music than you might think
Willing to try an entire Ring Cycle, but there better be lunch and multiple flasks.

This was basically me bitching about not being able to get people to go the opera with me years ago, but I’m willing to try seducing dudes with a carrot so let’s give this a go!

Would you settle for La bohème and an operetta to be named later?

As a middle aged white chick, if I just straight up start punching other middle aged white chicks in the face, what is the probability I have to go to court for that? Thinking of a trip to Katy, Texas. I can probably get away with it for longer if I wear sunglasses with the mask, yes?
I daydream of that every time I go to Von’s. I figure, what the hell, I’m a 61 year old Navy wife who has never been arrested, what’s the worst that could happen? Maybe probation and anger management classes. And I’m a mean ole bitch, I could fuck a Karen up.
I smell some team action

Now that the game’s well out of hand, WineWife has flipped over to “Crazy Rich Asians”. That’s fine with me, because Gemma Chan is a feast for the eyes.

They’d do it to you in a heartbeat.

If there are even third string dudes out there for either team, SHAME
Pretty sure the last Dallas TD was their 5th string RB.
Good to see Chris Christie is still a disgusting pig.
Oh, and he appears to be overweight as well.
Sexy beast
Cowboys have all of those individual accolades and I won’t be surprised at all when they somehow lose to Philly in the first game of the play-offs.

Cowboys-Eagles is far from the greatest rivalry in the NFL; that title will always be Bills Fans vs. Sobriety.
Jets fans vs. self-loathing.
Lions fans vs. the noose in their basement.
Vikings fans vs. new, creative ways of kicking themselves in the dick year after year.
Eagles fans v Santa
Steelers fans vs. downplaying credible sexual assault allegations for decades.
Raiders fans vs. the justice system.
GREATRIOTS VARSUS EHHREEBOWDEE
NO ONE DENIES THIS
I was thinking Browns fans vs. Happiness.
Packers fans vs gravity
Vs. Vaccines
Colts fans vs. Type II diabetes.
I always thought that was more of a symbiotic partnership.
My first real gaming system was the Sega Dreamcast. I was in college, I had a well paid internship, no expenses, and this was how I chose to spend my money. The Dreamcast was not overly popular outside of gaming circles, but it was a hotbed of interesting experimental games including…..SEAMAN with the microphone controller

His front porch sure is a sight to behold from the Kubiak years onward.
Was there a dwarf named Drunky?
Perfect.
Friend of mine says that Zeke will stay in until he gets 85 yards, giving him 1,000 for the season, something very meaningful in a 17-game season.
Did performance bonuses change? Round numbers didn’t and won’t, unfortunately
He got to 87 yards and immediately waved to the sideline. Your friend is a smarty pants.
He does know his Cowboys, that’s for sure. I sometimes wonder if he knows that he’s not actually on the team.
Always a bummer when Duke loses at home. THOSE POOR KIDS.
