Oh yay, the struggling Broncos get another prime time game-I think that’s the third in six weeks. Of course, they’ll likely make me look silly by playing competently. Bastards, all of them.
Fallout:
-Hollywood Brown’s injury was that bad, so bad they jumped the gun and brought in malcontent Robby Anderson. I might be reaching but I can’t help but think that Anderson is not a very positive person.
-Jack Easterby is out of the Houston organization and it’s likely that many folks are happy. Seriously, it was difficult to find any talking heads that said anything good about him. Ok, maybe Chris Frantz but he gets along with everybody. How does a “Character Coach” mutate into an “Executive Vice President of Football Operations” with little to no qualifications? I guess by being an ambitious, smarmy, ingratiating lap dog. He’s no doubt wondering where his god is now.
-Belichick’s long slog towards the coach’s all-time win record continues apace. Yesterday he tied George Halas at 324. Shula is sitting at 347, a mere 2 1/2 seasons away.
To The Game!
Broncos/Chargers:
-Certainly Denver’s D has held up their end of the bargain, allowing a mere 15 points per game. They’ve not allowed any thrower of the ball to get beyond 200 yards which is impressive/likely ends tonight.
-The Chargers run game (Austin Ekeler, really) struggled mightily until Ekeler ran for a beastly 173 after averaging only 35 per tilt to that point.
-Are the Broncos having an injury problem? Well, they lead the league in the amount of salary that sits in the IR/PUP/NFI designations. The number is north of 76 million-the Titans occupy second with 48 million.
-Keenan Allen, while close, is not hopping on the field this evening which likely means that Mike Williams gets shut down by Patty Surtain, unless he can win a few jump balls. Surtain hasn’t allowed a TD this year and has only surrendered 143 yards to wideouts.
Make with the dick jokes below.
Is this Fane Jonda, the famous cosplayer?
How do you not “go low” on Wilson.
Not until he’s married. Oh, wait.
“Going low” on Wilson? I’ll give it a shot.
Ciara is sum dumb silly media-savvy nothing-bucket. Russell will be let go by her soon after he retires.
BLEERGH FEASTS
BLACK BLEERGH TOO!!!
BLACK JESUS HAS HEARD THOSE CHARMING PRAYERS!
That last one looked more familiar
It might be the pain pill talking but it feels like the Broncos will be up by one score by the end of the half.
“That halftime show isn’t really Chris Berman’s fastest three minutes.” — Mrs. Berman

You might want to Google search “Mrs. Berman”; things did not end well for her.
Me: “Why don’t the Chargers use a bit of motion, pass on first down, and run oddball gadget plays to their fastest guys in order to keep the D off-balance like the Giants do?*
*there’s proof positive that the world is upside-down, folks
Is this the first time both NY teams* have been well-coached at same time?
*I know, Horatio, this ain’t apply to el beisbol
If you are under the impression that the Yankees are well-coached, Sir, allow me to introduce you to a man named Aaron Boone.
right, that was my feeble joke attempt
Ah, I see it now. My bad. Reading is fundamental

I am now sick and tired of Snoop Dogg. Why can’t all rap icons age like Chuck D?
¡Hola!
/votes 2nd from left
Is she cosplaying as a butterfly or an incomplete bunny rabbit? Feel free to discuss.
That’s fully complete as far as I can tell…
I’m sure it’s occurred at some point since the mid-80’s when I first seriously started watching football but I can’t remember any Chargers D getting an important stop, ever. That’s impressive.
1994 AFC Championship Game
San Diego has never been known for defense.
It’s true, you can pretty much score at will in San Diego.
But would you want to? What about all the husky women in Sudbury wearing thick sweaters at the Subway?
/I’ve said too much
I know from Shoresy that’s a damn lie.
Yes, I too have been led to believe that the women of the Greater Sudbury area are unusually hot.
That placement was like Gorbachev: a generous spot
Birthmark humour is wildly underrated.

/gets PTSD remembering how the Owl against the Redacteds started
Was that the Timmy Smith game? Because that was weird.
It was. Nobody remembers we was up 10-nil, because of…ya know, THE REST
Pepperidge Fahrms ahnd bittah Donks fahns remembah
I recall the on-screen graphics proclaiming NOBODY had ever lost an Owl after going up 10-nil. JEEBUS
Oh I remember. Gumby and I were in the enlisted man’s club at Bangor. Everyone in there was rooting hard for the Donks. Except us. We didn’t give a shit one way or the other, just wanted to stir the shit.
I need to put my Rao’s lasagna in the oven. Lazy day!
THAT NON-CALL FOR ROUGHING THE PASSER I CALL IT TOM BRADY’S MARRIAGE, BECAUSE TOM BRADY HAS RUINED IT FOR EVERYONE!!!!
DR. MRS. DEADLY, ESQ. (RET.): Honey, are you planning to make those turkey meatballs?
RIKKI-TIKKI-DEADLY: Let Russ Cook! Them.
So you’re saying they’ll still be around come Thanksgiving?
Yankee game won’t start before 9:30 at best, and I’ll bet it winds up going 16 innings while the Asterisks sit at home beating off into their socks.
aka, Buddy’s name for a his usual Monday night routine
You misspelled “cheating” and I’m thoroughly confused as to what socks have to do with it.
I heard someone suggest tomorrow night. Why not just give Houston a 2-0 lead, since we all know in this country cheating these days isn’t punished but actually pushed by our leaders?
Exactly. if they play tomorrow whoever wins may as well call up a bunch of Triple A pitchers and let them play Game 1.
The beautiful thing about this country that most people born here don’t realize it’s that we don’t rely on leaders to punish cheaters.
Oh, are you worried about ‘getting into the office on time’ tomorrow?
I always like hearing about NFL players who are smaller than me and then looking them and realizing they could turn me into a pretzel without breaking a sweat. Just really great for the ol’ self-esteem.
I remember in high school finding out I had the exact same height and weight as Marvin Harrison, then the next game saw Harrison standing next to manning and thinking….
Something.
Idk where I was going with this
Was it “that can’t be right?”
Because I have been there.
Seems like Russell Wilson is making something good out of the offensive ingredients he has to work with. There ought to be a phrase for this.
Let… russ…. summarize?
Collate?
Denver enthusiasts, allow us to transport together?
Imagine how he could charm the Chopped judges!!
Let Russ cook with ingredients from the foodbank.
Oh god, Joe and Buck won’t stop talking about Dulcich for the rest of the game.*
*because he was mentioned in their game notes and it makes them seem smart
The Bers again on prime time?
Me c*** en Dios.
Yeah, what he said!

PRAISE MATH NERDS ON DEFENSE
I’ve been on this subway for close to two hours due to *checks social media, sees the NY Times* OH. Guy pushed into tracks and hit by train.
THAT IS NOT AN UNRULY PASSENGER MTA, THAT IS… third or second degree?
Who knew the MTA was a master of understatement?
They’re not wrong: there’s no way the rules allow that.
He’s not unruly any more.
I wonder if Hamler is related to Gamblor.
Listening to the game since too lazy to set up chicago computer for watching. I guess I should give the tablet a try
I hope everyone is enjoying tonight’s edition of Monday Night BEERGH so far.
Hollywood Brown is Hillsong’s answer to Yakub the Mad Scientist
Wait, so Joe Buck is announcing this game with his wife on the sidelines???
Hooray for nepotism!
Didn’t the meet on espn or am I thinking his other trophy wife
[looks up photos of Joe Buck’s wives]
The word “trophy” is day-to-day with a lower back injury.
“Speaking of skidding out of bounds, I did Joe’s laundry yesterday”
I’m looking at her and thinking that she was assigned to him Scientology-style by Fox News. Like they had a surplus of blondes and needed to unload a few.
She failed the Sideline Reporter interview.
Hey, you didn’t do very well. Would you like to know some other options?
Uncle Ed once said to never trust a black guy named Austin, but always trust white dudes named DeSean.
He watched Austin Powers and the Eagles on acid once.
McManus, talented, but crazy.
FITBAW points WOO!!!
/also Dulcich looks like the micropenis guy from Workaholics
In his last years, Hollywood Brown is what Ronald Reagan called Wesley Snipes
Donk’s o-line clearly rattled by that vaunted home crowd of unBOLTMEN.
TWO goddamned penalties before we can even punt.
The refs taketh, and then giveth.
It’s ok, Hippo!
I remember Nathaniel Hackett’s dad but he doesn’t remember me. Maybe I’ll get Paul’s attention after I mail him my bust I’ve been working on for 14 years.
It’s hard to produce that much sperm for an art project.

“Hollywood Brown’s injury was that bad”
Try as he did, Rodney King’s attorney couldn’t secure a conviction
My Chubb is on, but I don’t really feel it. Football Manager is indeed being played.
I do not now, nor ever have or will, understand The Rock’s appeal.
I was just telling Gumby I am really sick of his stupid smug face.
He’s overexposed. He has a natural charm and charisma, but even that can be too much.
I’m not charmed!
He’s a person of color and that color is green
The Rock dazzles 8 out of 9 stylists. That’s impressive enough in itself.

Two months and six days after surgery I walked all over the place today, for the first time, although with crutches. No baby steps for the Brickster: I took an Uber to rent a car at LAX (a Volkswagen Atlas crossover, which is not bad), and then loaded 60 pounds of camera gear and luggage into it, all single-handedly. I did all that on only two Tylenols because I planned on driving across the desert today, but instead I’m going to leave at about 2 AM this morning. I am a monster.
You are a badass!
I exerted myself so much I dehydrated and right now my right foot and shin are cramping and hurt like hell; my former left foot feels fine. Very ironic.
Eat a couple of bananas. My prehensile toes cramp up all the time, but not lately, because I am all potassiumed up!
I’ve got some, good idea!
Brick with one foot just makes the odds easier for the rest of humanity. They’s still behind, though.
He sure is.
Keep it up!
According to my psychiatrist that makes two of us!
I don’t know if any of yinz are seeing this Medicare Advantage Advisors commercial, but, COVID didn’t cull enough out of the senior citizens “actors” guild.
I told you we shouldn’t have vaccines them first! Now they’re gonna to outnumber us all!
RUN
I think Michelle Beisner-Buck is wearing that outfit just for Hippo.
NOOOOOIIIIIICE

He definitely looks like a newly divorced father
But lashes out like divorcing-next-year dad.
“I lost my family for MY crap!” Fixed that for ya, Tommy.
Yes, but *which* Houston organization? Halliburton? KBR? Citgo?
I very much need Ekeler/Michel not to combine for over 98 points. Our D is weaker against the run, but still seems doable to me.
Did everyone see who Grumblelord is playing next week, to pass Halas’ record?
You gotta think Da Bears use that as motivation.
Wonder if Mike Bidwill is going to invite Anderson to get his orientation at the local Flex bathhouse….
