This is a full Karen Carpenter job so excuse me.
A little Canadian content for the big day.
I was supposed to be in Hamilton as we speak for the World Cup Qualifying bout between the US and Canada. As you can probably tell I am not there. They are only allowing 50% attendance at the big doughnut Tim Horton’s field so they cancelled all the original tickets and did a re-do.
There are still pretty locked down in Ontario as far as restos and bars go so the boys decided that we shouldn’t go. Due to being a member of the Voyageurs which is the supporters group for Canada futbol, I was able to snag tickets for a work mate in Hamilton so getting tickets again wouldn’t have been an issue for me. It’s frightfully cold in Hamilton today and I know me and would not have brought enough clothing. I did however buy a Camelbak for the game to have some delicious red wine strapped to my back with the hose under my mask. I guess I will just have to use it for athletic stuff.
All that being said, Mrs. Cola tested positive for sexiness, and Covid on Tuesday and has been in bed since then. It probably wouldn’t have been the best move to fly away and leave her here with a now for sale 4 year old and a gently used pug puppy.
This will be a two screen day for me as this game is the same time as the 1st NFL tilt which of course I have wagered on.
This is a huge game as both countries are at the top of the qualifying group. Canada will be without their talisman Davies and for the Yanks Weah’s vaxxes are not enough to cross the border. I hope for a draw and then the Canadians beat the Salvadorians on Tuesday.
Somewhere, the receivers of the 2005 Bengals team punched something.
Well at least most of them did.
So if my calculations are correct, this is the first time since 2008 I haven’t been actively rooting against at least one of the teams playing on conference championship sunday. I noticed a pattern
2009: colts & vikings
2010: packers
2011: patriots
2012: patriots
2013: patriots
2014: patriots & colts & packers
2015: patriots
2016: patriots & packers
2017: patriots
2018: patriots
2019: packers
2020: buccaneers & packers
Post Season Wins- Reid is at 19 and Belichick is at 31-gotta feeling that Reid is gonna make up a lot of ground in the next 5 years.
[scoffs] Yeah, maybe a lot of ground beef.
Can KJ wear any more clothes? Haha

Okay, this year is getting weird!
Depending on how today’s games go, we could potentially have a replay of SB XXIII where the 49rs defeated the Bengals.
That would get Collinsworth talking… even more… so I kinda hope not.
Or, we could have a replay of SB XVI where… the 49ers defeated the Bungles.
Also SB XVI, I guess the Bengals have only ever played against the Niners in the Owl?
On the flip side those are the only two Super Bowls during the 49ers Dynasty that weren’t blowouts.
That’s a silver lining if I’ve ever seen one!
Twelve hours from now, the NFL Network will be talking about Tom Brady’s career while on the bottom of the screen:
AFC Championship Game Update: Entering Septuple Overtime tied at 73-73, after ejections due to a fight in the 4th Overtime that results in the on-field arrests of QBs Patrick Mahomes and Joe Bur-
NFL NETWORK BREAKING NEWS: Tom Brady eats hamburger for the first time since high school. Stay tuned while experts say what this means for his retirement decision.
This is a safe space, so I can tell you guys my darkest secrets, right? Ok [deep breath] here goes: I want to tie Tom Brady up and force feed him Carl’s Jr. Monster thickburgers. And then strawberries. Ooh baybee! Be right back, I have to- erm… Be right back!
Monster thickburgers? I am out – B Favre
Make sure those burgers have some tomatoes on them!
And avocados!
Seriously, avocados on burgers are fantastic
I’ve tried to like them for years, and I just can’t.
And I’m usually one of the more adventurous food consumers in my family
I have a coupon for those! It might just be original thickburgers, though. Will that do?

Redshirt’s Journal Update:
I still seem to be stuck in this dream scenario where the Bengals continue to win in the playoffs. However, the lack of cheerleaders and beer trees suggest that it is not caused by a normal sleep or a coma, but possibly a computer-generated simulation created by either machines who are using me for energy or Donald Trump as part of a fast food, Diet Coke fueled revenge for not voting for him.
Is there a pool?
God, it feels like the Dr. Mrs. set the vacuum to “extra loud” this morning.
Is your brain set to “extra hungover?”
No, it’s not so bad…
[sees that Raiders have hired Dave Ziegler, meaning that Josh McDaniels is imminent]
Check that. Gonna have to get back to you on that one.
And there it is.

You have my deepest heartfelt sympathy. Dear God.
It’s cold, sunny, and bright here in CT, and there’s a foot of snow on the ground. Time to put on the snowshoes and see who drops from exhaustion first, me or the dog.
/Hippo and Litre race to the bet.net to wager heavily on the dog
I even got enough work done to not feel that awesome guilt/stress combo during today’s FITBAW ORGY OF TEH GODS.
Our Egyptian soldiers didn’t end up getting e-gypped after all! A fabulous goal by “Trezeguet” — his French-inspired name didn’t appear to hold him back at all!! Onward to the jungles of Cameroon — we may need to call on Henry Morton Stanley to guide us if we encounter difficulties!
I’m doing a job remotely in New Brunswick Canada. I think it was thursday or friday, we had to stop for the day because the local temp got below -50C.
I can’t make my brain comprehend that temperature.

This is absolutely something Real Boy Elisha has done. Likely on multiple occasions.
It happened again! GAHHHH!!!
Eli’s in a permanent state of brain freeze.
Right now, at McMurdo station, it is a balmy 28F/-2C
Ha! It’s 24 here in CT. Suck it, South Pole weenies!
What about SUNDAY, SUNDAY, SOMEDAY?

I’ll root for Canada with you, you moose-loving frenchie. Fuck that US team!
This Egypt v Morocco tilt is very disjointed.
Also, the Scottie Hotties are on.
Was watching yesterday. Wife looked at me and said I have turned the corner to Canadian old man.
