This will be quick and dirty as I’ve be sleeping all day. The transformation into Hippo is almost complete.
Newsy Notes:
-The Chiefs Willie Gay has been suspended for 4 games for violating-you guessed it-‘personal conduct policies’. I think Andy must be happy because it fills his one per year quota.
-Trey Lance (or is it Lance Trey?) had surgery first thing this morning to repair his ankle. First thing this morning Jimmy G went out and had himself a huge, satisfying breakfast. He tipped 75%.
-Truth Biscuit threw OC Matt Canada under the bus yesterday. That noise you hear is Kenny Pickett’s music.
To The Games!
Titans/Bills:
-These guys have played 5 years in a row but you don’t hear too much about this being a rivalry.
-Josh Gordon is Back! Where is the faith in Racey McMath? They’re treating him like a damn variable.
-Titans are getting an early start on devastating injuries-they have 7 players on IR already.
Vikes/Eagles:
-I’ve the notion that J.J. will no doubt cause the Eagles to rue the fact that they chose Jalen Reagor over Jefferson. Funny that Reagor, now on Minny’s roster, will get a front row seat to the proceedings.
-How did Devonta not even get a catch last week when the Eagles piled up 38 points of offense last week?
-Can’t help but think that old dependable Kirkie will get the Vikes up early in this game. The question then becomes, “Will Philly stick to their incredibly effective run game or will they panic?”
Do that thing.
Im more interested in the Eagles Vikings game, but even more interested in not hearing Buck and Aikman for now

Am I to understand that these two “double-header” games are being played simultaneously?
“Yes, that’s how these things work.” – Fred Smoot
/will be making these jokes all night, apparently
Too bad Lea Michele won’t be able to read any of them.
And they didn’t even bribe Scott Hanson to do a Very Special Red Zone
Shouldn’t the iggles have some sort of horrible eagle shriek that plays after a TD?
A lot of their horrible fans shriek. Does that count for anything?
This happened after a home game against the Vikings also!
https://youtu.be/HGDaghuCBTA
BLEERGH is feasting on Iggles tonight.
It seems imperative that an NFL “doubleheader” that includes the Vikings would feature a banner image of Fred Smoot.
I’m not mad at you, @scotchnaut, I’m just disappointed.
I play about one game of chess every five years, but I am enthralled by this alleged cheating scandal. Even before the “anal beads” conspiracy theory was brought up!
As you can tell, I too am intrigued.
If you think about it, it’s straight out of Goldfinger except more… erotic?

Having the MIN/PHI game on 2nd screen and the TV switching to that game is very disorienting as the TV is quite a bit ahead.
On the plus side, I get instant replay on every play.
Who is ded Buffalo player?
Dane Jackson
He may be only mostly dead. Laura Rutledge reporting he had movement in all extremities.
Dane Jackson
Do they show horrific injuries like that in closeup on the big tvs in the stadium like they do for us at home?
The fact that they didn’t even show him getting loaded into the ambulance does not bode well.
The ambulance not having its sirens on was bad sign
Yeah, when the EMTs decide they can take their time it’s probably not great.
He was definitely moving right after the hit, although looked like a lot of pain. Pain is probably good here though, cause that’s a sensation transmitted by nerves and such

There was a surprising lack of replays on the big screens at FedEx Field.
But maybe that’s just because Little Danny won’t pay for the hardware upgrade to allow for that capability.
I think so, there was an audible groan from the crowd right before ESPN showed the replay.
That doesn’t look optimal…
When the ambulance came out my daughter asked if they would stop the game if a player was seriously hurt and it’s taken me this long to stop laughing at her and type this out.
Y’all need to show her clips from the Madden varietal we used to play (with the ambulance running fuckers over)
I literally said “The ambulance could run the guy over and the game would start again as soon as they scraped him off the turf. There’s advertising to sell and gamblers to keep happy.”
They’re so adorable when they’re young and naive.
There’s a joke to be made there about about a handful of disgraced celebrities, but even I have depths I won’t sink to
That one lesser footy game that one time they delayed the game for a few whole hours
Oh right, when the Danish guy had literal heart failure.
I’m digging AT&T Lily’s new look.
I mean, I liked the old look, too.
Basically I’m just a horny dude.
So, I think I may have a new favorite “out of context” gif:

Like most of y’all, I can only really think of UConn in basketball terms. They came to Reynolds my freshman year, and beat us. Because everybody other than Dean Smith made Les Robinson their punching bag.
I do have a few friends who went to school there, and they have a great sense of humour about their football program, such that it is. An independent which can brag only about not being UMass or New Mexico State. My buddy studied in Storrs a few years earlier, and his only memory of NC State is Fire and Ice coming to town and rugging them ragged.
It’s nice when misery is shared, yes?
Anyway, I told my buddy (and his wife, also a UConn grad) that they could stay in my guest room if they were coming down to the game. His response – I wouldn’t even cross West Hartford to watch UConn “play football”, let alone state lines. But thanks anyway!
He also assures me that they will go back to being their stereotypical raging Yankee assholes (see Calhoun, Jim), come basketball season. Which we in West Raleigh no longer recognize as competitive sportsball.
NC State is favoured by a modest 38.5 points. This is an improvement over last week, when Michigan was -48.5. And the Wolverines covered.
Not that I have anything against a pre-Clemson bye week, mind. Let’s get that OL and WR corps a little confidence.
Awww.
That Fire & Ice game was something. UConn lost, but Gamble nearly exploded. Say what you will about Calhoun*, games back then were events.
*I mean, look, you’ll be right; I’m not kidding myself that the man was a saint.
I suspect that the Calhoun experience is much like rostering Aqib Talib. When he’s YOUR psychotic asshole, he’s awesome!
Look, he drubbed Coach K twice in the NCAAs, and your obviously bent and twisted poll aside, that makes up for pretty much anything.
BLEERGH WANTS CHEESESTEAKS
Oh no, there’s a man down.
So cute how worried ESPN is about people’s ability to watch TWO football matches at the SAME TIME. Like the remote control just got invented.
Jebus, that was almost a “friendly fire” decapitation live on tv!
That was Johnny Knoxesque.
Encouraging that he turned out mostly okay, although it was a career ender
I remember that day. I was at the colts/titans game celebrating my graduation, and a bunch of comments on the old site were commenting on the injury.
My dad STILL brings up me being on my phone
Aw crap, ded buffalo

I love it when overcoaching from the sideline undoes a successful play.
I think I need 80 points from Allen and Singletary to pull out a win this week.
Kinda nice to watch the game without an ounce of hope or tension.

Does that Jeep have TruckNutz too?
Fun thing about my parents house, they still get full-on cable, so I have both games available to swap between!
My tv has the weirdest remote. There’s no last channel button, so I have to back button to the guide, and then scroll to the other channel. It’s too much work! WHAAAAAAAA!
You should write a strongly worded letter to your remote provider!

What did Eli do this week that made Olivia ground him and take away our Manningcast?
preordered the new call of duty without permission.
He REALLY wanted that open beta.
THat really is a fat fucking crowd. Makes the KC locals look positively anorexic.
Indy fans were sweating this comment*
*just like any other comment, or flight of stairs, even just walking to the bathroom first thing in the morning
What the hell? ” I have to see that from down the line to see if that was a bad call.” You could see it from space, idiot.
Refs keep making calls like that, they’ll end up going over the falls with cement shoes.
3rd and 21 is NFL BLITZ worthy
Hope Don T found a Burger King and is able to watch this on a completely legal and legitimate live stream.
Oh, a night game in Buffalo. So the NFL deliberately scheduled this game as early as possible to keep the casualties low
Cant wait for League to roll out 2 Games on Tuesday next year
I can see now why someone mentioned last week that Laura Rutledge looks like a dominatrix that escaped her dungeon for a bit to catch a ballgame.
There’s been one series, and four injuries already. Snipers arrive early for Bills Mafia.

I’d say BUF needs to put in the walk-ons, but they’re already letting the fullback score.
If I don’t watch these games, they’ll be more entertaining for the rest of you right? That’s what I learned from only watching Bears-Packers yesterday.
I think it makes a big difference if the team you root for is playing or not.
