Is there such a thing as too many sporting events on a given day? If so, today is that day. Just with respect to my own cheering interests Man City is playing while I cobble this piece together (they’re up 2-0 on Girona with goals scored by The Broom and a well-rested Haaland), the Sens play the disease-riddled Red Wings at 1pm EST and Sillycuse is on at 3pm.
Oh yeah, there’s a World Cup third-place thingy going on and five bowl games are being played including The Jimmy Kimmel LA Bowl between Washington State and Fresno State. (no word yet on which team he’ll be playing for) There’s a smattering of juicy college basketball tilts and the good folks at NBC, are trying to keep up with some drone racing. A true pornacopia of sportsball offerings-we are blessed.
To The Game!
Colts/Vikes:
-Welcome to the spotlight Jeff Saturday, coach of a high school team that was four games over .500 during your three years there. [snorts]
-I’ll be taking the over on that Justin Jefferson receiving prop of 94.5 yards. He’s the surest thing in the league nowadays.
-As I may have mentioned last week, Minny can clinch the NFC North with a W today.
-The Colts defensive front is fully healthy for the first time this year-they’ve got to get to Cousins in order to have a chance of an upset.
-A wee bit of history-this will be the 1,000th game played for the Vikings franchise. Fran Tarkenton came off the bench in their first game back in 1961 to get them the win. They are pro sport’s most successful team that hasn’t won a championship.
-The Colts pass D is surprisingly good-as concerns yards allowed they are third-best in the league.
Now get watching something, anything.
Still not making up for Gary Anderson missing that kick, though.
You had to bring it up.
Matt Ryan is cursed and doesn’t even come with a free frogurt.
Perfect way for Indianapolis to lose.
Indy needs to play for the tie at this point.
I’m not even joking
That was more a volleyball serve than a forward pass.
THIS VIKINGS-COLTS GAME I CALL IT FATHER’S DAY BECAUSE THEY’RE PLAYING FOR THE TIE
(and no one is going to be happy at the end of it)
Play for the point, Humps!
Glorious Draw odds just spiked.
And Blair Walsh shrugged.
Like anyone in Baltimore or Cleveland is turning off this game!
This might be the best-announced game of the season
The dumb and dumber joke made it
Come on Tie Number 2
If we end in Most Glorious Draw, I think it should STILL be the record comeback
Think that honor still belongs to Kim Kardashian
Matt Ryan has certainly seen some big comebacks
Tails failed. Shit be cray.
Extra Time Bananacakes!
Meanwhile, yeahright is watching Cabaret.
He will totally think we’re pranking him.
I just parked at the auditorium and checked the score.
Nuts fully cracked.
Pretend you have explosive diarrhea
Pretend?
I had no idea one could un-shit one’s pants
Pretty weird, my TV cut out for the third period of the Detroit Derby, I guess we’ll never know what happened.
Holy fuck
Shame yeah right is missing this for a ballet.
Still time for a backbreaking L
For which team?
Tie is the only salvation for both now.
#WhyWeWatch
