Nightcap of Saturday Sportsballgasm

What a start, eh?  SKOL breaks Frank Reich’s all-time comeback record, against Frank Reich’s former charges.  It was 33-nil at the half.  It was 36-7 late into Q3.  Captain Dingleberry STILL tossed what looked like a back-breaking Q4 pickerception.  But the Humps ultimately humped it all away, on a long TD “screen and rumble” by Dalvin Cook.  36-all, before we even hit 2:00.  Sheeit, Minny even got the ball back with 1:10 and the chance to win (and predictably didn’t make a single first down).

But OT was just a trade of punts, followed by a gassed Indy D surrendering the winning FG drive.  39-36, and yeah right will scope out local “Nutcracker” options every gameday going forward.

Let’s not speak much of Ratbirds aways to #ThePauls.  Plus, I am writing this in advance.

LOLfins (+7) at Bills Mafia (8:15, NFLN)

Most importantly, despite the playoff impact fpr both squadoos – the FORECAST, as of 5:30 Hippo Standard Time:

Snow this evening will transition to snow showers late. Low 27F. Winds WSW at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of snow 100%. Snow accumulating 5 to 8 inches.

No wussing out and going to Detroit this goddamned week!  Y’all will play in the snow, and allow our inner 8-year olds to rejoice in the sweet entropy.  Buffalo has the better defensive front AND offensive line, so I still give them the advantage.  But maybe chaos will bring us the Most Glorious Draw we almost had in Minneapolis.  As always, Hippo shall root for it.

There are also bad JV exhibitions on ABC and ESPN, should you hate yourself enough to flip over.  DID I MENTION SNOW GAME??

Belgian beer is my kryptonite. I can go > 10 rounds of whiskey with no real problems but if I dive into the Belgians it is literally La Fin du Monde.

It’s a local craft brewer that lives in my neighbourhood, so if I have a complaint I can get a freebie or four from him.

North Texas and Boise State. Boise airport used to have a welcome mat of Smurf Turf at the escalator landing that invited visitors to “touch the Blue.”

I declined touching any smurf turf. Thought about taking a leak, but it was in full view and probably on camera.

I know they made it, but why would the Bills ever trust a kicker?

I guess we can take Singletary off the list of guys likely to solve the physics of black holes list.

I thought that was the smart play. Sucks that he didn’t get the first down, but that line was what, less than a yard away?

It was a good thing I had swapped Singletary out of my lineup, because if he was in my lineup my head would have asploded.

Horatio Cornblower

You have to at least get the first down, and a TD there is hardly the worst thing in the world.

BugEyedBoo

Nah, Miami was out of timeouts and Buffalo had one. 17 took a knee and Buffalo called the timeout with two seconds.

Didn’t Chubb’s TD earlier this year leave NYJ enough to win?

I’d love to see Miami lose after the shit they pulled with playing an endangered Tua earlier this season. I am annoyed just looking at their coach.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

There’s a lot of reasons to hate the Dolphins. Stephen Ross, for one.

Hmm, wil the QB from Wyoming or Alabama have the advantage in these conditions?

My son’s travel baseball team once played a game in New Hampshire when a freak snowstorm came down like this. The coaches stopped the game when some kid ripped a line drive that no one could see until it landed.

The ride home was less than ideal.

Brocky

I remember being 8 years old and my high school was playing late into November, the game before the state championship. We drove 2 hours east into a blizzard. Game got suspended at halftime with it being 0-0.

Ride home my dad was pissed because they were gonna replay the game at noon the next day, and he knew our guys would be exhausted from the trip and quick turnaround. He was right. Snow is fun…. to a point

Sometimes when we’d shag fly balls in college at its apex the ball would disappear for an instant into a perfectly clear blue Los Angeles sky.

90 yards, there’s 6 minutes, its cold, it’s snowing, and we’re wearing shades. Hit it.

It’s called a touchDOWN not a breakPLANE

If Miami is smart, they’d sneak some assistants into the stands and throw snowballs at the Miami sideline to draw the flag.
