We’re four weeks into the season and from my vantage point, this year is even more entertaining than it was last year. (Cue purists crying about the dreadfulness that is ‘parity’.)
To The Game!
Chiefs/Bucs:
-Oh look, another qb ball-slurpage marathon just like last Sunday night. We never get tired of them.
-Were you to give me all your money (and you should) I would lean on the Chiefs here, even though Tommy has some weapons coming back. Why? They should be on limited snap counts.
-Both Godwin and Julio are something of game-timers according to Schefter. If just one of them goes it should give some needed oomph! to the passing game.
-Not sure how much longer Brady’s ego can handle only throwing an average of one TD per game.
-The Bucs D is off to a phenomenal start, giving up an average of three field goals per game. (points-wise) I do think that Mighty Mahomes might fiddle with that number though.
-Don’t expect the Chiefs to get things done on the ground. Last week they totaled 58 yards and the Bucs have the 5th best run D.
-Is it time to talk about CEH’s bust? I’m kinda leery about any back that doesn’t thrive in an Andy Reid offense. I mean, the guy has coached Brian Mitchell, Duce Staley, Brian Westbrook, LeSean McCoy, Jamaal Charles and Kareem Hunt and they’ve all been remarkably successful in his scheme.
That’s it for me today. Keep tapping at those damn buttons-show them who’s the boss!
Ok fine, fuck you Amazon, I will pay $25 for season 6 of Rick and Morty
Fine. worth it.
You coulda just watched Season 1 six times, what a blunder!
My number one issue with Quantum Leap series:
WHERE THE HELL IS SAMMY JO FULLER AND WHY ISN’T SHE THE MAIN CHARACTER?!
She is literally Sam’s biological daughter, as smart as he is, was involved in the 1st project and having her be the impulsive idiot who travels in time and gets themselves lost would make so much sense, its hilariously stupid she wasn’t involved.
Have they said on the reboot what happened to Sam? Still sticking with the “never returned home” from the final credits, or not saying? They probably don’t want to commit until they know if Scott Bakula will make an appearance. (Sadly, Dean Stockwell can’t.)
Tupac would have.
Sam Beckett lost contact with the project team in 1999. Al Calavicci died the year before (the character died with the actor). However, Al’s daughter convinced the new guy to leap for reasons he couldn’t say into a recorder in the time it took for him to go from his car to the lap to leap. All the new guy knows is the new programing he put into, has one 4D coordinates circled, so it sounds like the new guy is leaping towards it.
Al’s daughter wasn’t involved because she was too close to the original project and seems mentally unstable-ish.
Cue the Ice Cube.
Today was a good day.
Won the work pick-em without Monday even coming into play.
I came from a time where this was popular when I was born: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1POru2g5mQU
This was popular while I grew up : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=na3u8S9tF9o|

Girls growing up now don’t have it as good.
Guess I’ll tune into ‘House of Dragons’ and see if they age the characters 15 years in between episodes.
Again.
Gonna do it next week, no lie.
So…. who wants to hear my fantasy woes?
All of us!
I was down by a bit, mahomes came out putting me up at a somewhat decent lead, my opponent has TB defense and fournette.
In the fourth quarter the mahomes threw a pic, got sacked twice, and forunettr got a shit load of receiving yards and a touchdown.
Now have a slim lead and they have two players tomorrow. Win probability swung from 70% to 23%.
0 and 4 here I come.
I had J Jefferson, Penny, Hockenson, Chubb and Wilson in my line up so go ahead
And Mike Evans.
Oh, are you waiting for George RR Martin to finish the next book, too?
I was the first one of my generation to go to college. With my IQ, everyone expected easy success. But everyone ignored the warning signs of my struggling, and just chalked it up to my slacking off. And before you know it, all that potential become unrealized and…
Oh, you mean “fantasy football”? Yeah, I don’t do that.
Quantum Leap guy just jumped off a space shuttle towards Mir. And no, he didn’t make any fancy calculations about orbital mechanics, HE TRUSTED HIS GUT, DAMNIT!
Ugh. I was just going to give that show a try, but now I think I’ll pass.
It was one of my dad’s favorites and was the first show on DVR he auto recorded when he got the option….
He couldn’t make it through ten minutes
They don’t have a Waiting Room, and there is no talk about how the Director is one of Sam’s Leapees he traded place with during the Vietnam episode. Yeah, you don’t think that’s not worth three minutes to talk about what a Leapee experiences after they return from 1999?!
Maths is FOAR NERDS ppl forget that!!
As one does.
In his defense, do any of us here know that calculation?
“Screw planetary gravity, solar gravity, lunar gravity and the degree of your approach. I got guts!”
To be fair, the lack of planetary forces do make shit kinda simple, assuming you have full life support functions which are mostly provided by hoses attached to the ship you are on, so jumping with no hoses is dead in like, pretty quick.
Not to mention you are one hole in an oversized suit away from…you know…dying.
Good MANDATORY hustle, y’all.
The Chiefs should go for it on 4th down.
People forget, women also like nice asses.

That’ll do pig, that’ll do.
THE PIG IS DONE!?
CAN YOU IMAGINE HAVING TO DEAL WITH A 24 YEAR OLD?!?!?!
I mean, my son literally is 24, so yes, yes I can.
We’re watching Quantum Leap. They’re in space and someone said that “up here it’s not about flow charts and [something something]. It’s about trusting your gut.”
Because there’s nothing the human body has better innate instincts about than being in outer space.
“MATH AND SCIENCE HAVE NO PLACE IN THE COLD VACUUM OF OUTER SPACE!!!”
Yes, when has math helped the space program?

See? They should have just gone with their feelings!
Yeah, its not looking good for QL2. Its taking itself too seriously. Also, Sam’s character had the background, skills and ability to pull it everything he did to pull of the leap. Ben’s character feels like he’s just LARPing.
YES LETS JUST ALL EXPLODE
Arsenal v. Liverpool next Sunday? Maybe I’ll hop across the pond and see it live.
The way Liz Truss is going it’ll cost me $31 US, $62 if I bring the wife.
Leave room in your carry-on so you can bring back Jurgen Klopp’s skull for me!
Suddenish change..?
It would have been funny had they lateraled it back to a Chef. Me no want any MRSA Dreamboat stats-padding.
Considering I’m paying mahoems and my opponent has the Tampa defense…..
Yes, four point swing
Is Bruce Arians’ seat inside a cartoon?
He sits wherever Brady demands he sits.
Good Lord, is Arians part-lobster??

I enjoy the commercial about she and Blake fighting as a married couple, since I understand she broke up his first marriage.
Re: The Pecan Lodge recommendation below
You go there first thing in the morning when they open. Dinner is too late.
I just asked my Dallas friends about it, they practically said the same thing.
When Brady audibles to ‘Alabama’ it means everyone the field is gettin’ paid.
Have you noticed that, just in time for the elections, certain right-wing corporations “just so happened” to drop lots of “funny” commercials themed around high gas prices?
Can’t tell. Since I’ve lived in Ohio all my life, I’ve adapted by tuning out all political commercials. Its either that or drink until the voices stop, but I’m not sure my liver can support the needed volume.
If my kids ever held a swear jar at me like that kid does in this commercial I’d slap the fucking shit out of them.
“Guess who’s walking home!”
And swear while you were doing it, presumably.
As one does.
Not watching the game. Has Tom Brady faked a career-ending injury yet?
I hope Revanchist is enjoying his continued erection, and that the clock continues to bleed dry.
What the fuck? Why would you wish that on him? And why is it bleeding to begin with?
Oh. You said “clock.”
Cris and Mike: “Andy Reid has won 2 out of every 3 games in his career over 24 years and all its cost him is two sons and his immortal soul.”
Oh, sorry, they left that last part out.
He’s Mormon, so he’s automatically allowed in Heaven.
