But soft, what yonder matches approach? I’ve got them right here.
To the Games!
Raiders/Bills:
Las Vegas (and whatever else they’ve been over the years) haven’t won 2 games on the road to start the season since 1980. Is qb Allen slipping back into some silly decision-making or is it just me? Renfrow should finally see a ball come his way after not being targeted last week, what with Meyers out and Adams having trouble with a foot.
Ravens/Bengals:
The Mighty Burrow can’t go 0-2 in the division to start the year, can he? Last week his mates on the D side of things gave up 8 yards a rush to Deshaun so Lamar might just do ok. Rook wr Zay Flowers might be something-he had a 47% target share in his first game.
Chiefs/Jags:
I picked K.C. in survivor because I figure Patty will bounce back in a big way. I do expect that it to be a high-scoring tilt however. Kelce is expected back and in two games against Jacktown last year he had a trifling 20 catches.
Chargers/Titans:
Some fantasy analysts are just plain lousy. “We saw Tyjae Spears eat into Henry’s workload in a major way last week” is something that I read. I found that curious so I looked at their respective touches-Henry had 17 and Spears had 4-stop trying to make something happen, lousy football writer.
Packers/Falcons:
One advantage of never throwing the ball? Ridder hasn’t tossed an INT yet in his first 5 starts. If he does it again this week he’ll be the very first, going all the way back to 1950. Arthur Smith’s commitment to the rush will be tested as Green Bay gave up only 3.3 yards per attempt to designed runs by rb’s last week.
Seahawks/Lions:
The last two games these two have been high-scoring jizzfests with Seattle winning both, 48-45 and 51-29. Maybe take the over? “Goff falls apart under pressure”, so says the narrative but yet somehow he has tossed the ball 359 straight times without a pic.
Colts/Texans:
It’s The Battle of The Rookie Quarterbacks! My money ($60 of pretend money) is on Richardson.
Bears/Bucs:
If Mayfield wins this he joins the elite company of Fitzmagic, Shaun King and Rob Johnson as the only Tampa qb’s to start the year 2-0.
Do that thing.
Bijan is, uh, kinda explosive.
“I’m a Gardner not a lover” Minshew officially in the game
MINSHEW MANIA!
This is not a good bar for NFL Sunday. It’s going up against the EPL and the rugby world cup.
I hope folks got excited about that Fiji win, it was kind of a big deal.
“My sprots team is in Fiji. It’s an island nation, so you’ve never met her. Them! You’ve never heard of them, I mean.”
This place blew the fuck up.
Ridder is a one-read QB at this point and he’s making Lea Michele proud.
Richardson with a head owie. He done.
Miami’s medical staff stands by to assist with any required back treatments.

On the field, or due to the local diet?
Fat guy 2 pt conversion!
By the way, I’ve got a somewhat odd question about something that just came up.Uhh, as an attaboy from management, I’ve been offered the use of our company-owned vacation spots to take the family. Any, uhhh, recommendations whether I (and the kiddos) would like more Tahiti or Hawaii in late October/early November?
My unscientific answer: Tahiti.
I’d pick Tahiti too, but their might be more to do in Hawaii, especially for the kids.
There! I’m pretty sure we will never be able to edit again, but at least we can embed videos.
At least we’re not dealing with the NONCEnse. As for the kiddos – sun, sand and a different local culture will be plenty for them (though again, if it means skipping school they’ll be open to a trip to a GULAG).
Speaking of punishment.. I’ll still mention the alternatives I dismissed out of hand to the wife, but I doubt she’ll try to change my mind about SoCal, Miami or southern France (Saint Maxim or something like that)
Not Hawaii.
Locals have been pleading and begging for tourists to stop coming for quite a few years now. But I’m biased from having lived there and still have friends there, so I’m more in a place to hear them and their concerns like resources that should be available to locals being held for tourists. I understand many mainlanders don’t/won’t understand that, “their economy is based on tourism!” blah blah blah argument. Many locals do not want more tourists.
I’m not sure how me trying to avoid the sun in a (knowing the other properties my benevolent multinational omnicorp owns) gated mansion and buying stuff from the local shops will hurt the locals*, but… Again, I don’t want to be an inadvertent cunt to the locals. Though if the locals in Tahiti think the same, I’ll be sticking it to the French.. which is a bonus 😀
*Except that I’ll be flying in on private plane, but … I’ll burn less fuel on a round trip than the USN dumps in the ocean in the area every time a carrier starts flight quals after a port visit.
That gated mansion in that wealthy neighborhood owned by mutli-millionaires that do not live on the island, and more than likely on land that had been in local families for 5+ generations, has been completely priced out of locals hands, and more than likely beach access completely shut off for locals. Not to mention the numerous local favorite spots that they have enjoyed for generations being shut down and fenced up because too many tourists have found out about them, people have died, littered, trampled local fauna, parked on and destroyed locals properties to get to these spots – like a swimming hole, waterfall, cave, etc lots of these have religious/mythical meaning to Hawaiian people and they now can not enjoy them because of tourists.
I agree, unfortunately me going or not going (aka the question where I .. questioned what my presence matters) won’t suddenly remove those gated mansions, nor willl unrestrict access to those beaches. As for
On one hand, I’d never do any of that since I always consider myself a guest (that must respect his hosts’ customs and rules*), on the other and that just came as a bleak realization – this reads basically as a lite version of what happened to the indigenous people on the mainland.
*That’s why when we travel on our own dime, I’ve always preferred going to a place where there are fewer tourists (that have soured the locals on all of us) and preferably to a place where we can just hire a place and just properly appreciate local customs and cuisine (if work didn’t offer this trip, I was thinking of calling some friends in Cuba to see if I can book their vacation rental for a month)
Both are gorgeous, Hawaii there is more things for the children to do.
In all fairness, this entails pulling the kids from school for a month or so, so they’ll be okay even with a trip to Vorkuta 😀
Tahiti
Not me just waking up and bout to watch this Seahawks game like:

I have never seen that error before. Odd.

Love and Ridder are having a Jack Off.

I WAS TOLD LAMAR WOULD BE GOOD THIS SEASON!
I’m having Andy Dalton flashbacks.
A red fever dream
Gym and Arsenal are checked off. It’s dog walkin’ time!
DK out for repairs?
Questionable to return (ribs)
By Gawd That’s Andy Reid’s music!
Got to the gym in time to see Martinelli pull up lame and then watch Arsenal dominate position but go full Whalers every time the got close to goal and make that one extra pass instead of shooting the ball towards the, you know, goal.
I did throw in a trip to the grocery store where I bought two of the remaining three 4-packs of Mexican Coca-Cola. I’d have bought all three, but I am not a monster.
Now to relax and sit back, hoping Arsenal doesn’t somehow piss away a one goal lead to a team likely to get relegated and pretend that whatever new system Artetta has in mind has a fart’s chance in a windstorm of working.
I mean, your enforced sub got the winner.
The presumptive winner. There’s still time to fuck this up. Hell, it ain’t over till the random piss test results clear us from any misdeeds…
See game against Mighty Whitey, he ain’t wrong.
Just heard that. I like Trossard, but in the first half he was one of the worst offenders at dribbling into the box, (giggles for 7 minutes), and then passing it back into double-coverage instead of trying for a shot.
It’s a good thing I had the gym pretty much to myself, or I likely would have been asked to leave.
Just looked up the replay. That’s what can happen when you just fire it at the net instead of looking to make a second, third, and fourth pass.
Enjoyed the typical Pickford whinging afterwards.
Everton is nae going down.
I certainly hope not. I do root for them since our resident ungulate is the one who got me into this Premier League nonsense in the first place, and I want good things for him. But I don’t see three teams worse than Everton this year. Luton Town for sure, after that I don’t know.
Luton, Team Knifey and Wolves is my preddicion
bears: oh, we have a good receiver now? why didnt we think of this last week!
everytime they show the bears in those unis I thikn that the team was replaced in relegation with Clemson
the jerseys are fine/interesting
send the pumpkin buckets into super hell
Trying to watch Everton with RedZone on another screen is gonna give me an aneurysm.
Stay focused Other Hippo, we believe in you. #DoucheStrong
FOAR YOU, Bastard Man!
Trying to watch Everton

could you imagine being stuck with this shite EVERY WEEK?
I probably could, but fortunately most UConn football games aren’t deemed fit for broadcast.
They were on here yesterday. One of the FU’s was whooping them.
FIU. UConn got it to 24-17 but no closer. They’re horrid this year. Everyone thought they were going to win 6-7, maybe even 8. I thought 4 wins were realistic.
It would appear all of us were wildly optimistic.
Nods head in Pitt. And UAB, pretty sure we got dismembered yesterday,I was too downtrodden to look it up. I’m starting to lose faith in the Trent Dilfer Experiment.
There goes Ridder’s non-intercept streak.

Two of the three best TEN DBs (Amani Hooker & Kristian Fulton) are out. So I added “dispensary” to pre-game chores.
Damnit, I’m starting Johnson.
Well, yeah, you gotta get Johnson in there.
I didn’t know I was playing you today Don T! Huzzah!
One of us! Like our benevolent king, I too am having “pot roast.” I have pot, and I plan to stay roasted all day. I picked the Cowboys in the Elimination pool, somebody needs to talk me down from the ledge.
Also CSU not going for two last night was lamer than everyone using Coach Prime. It’s like David Johanssen using Buster Poindexter at the bank
Password managers are fantastic and should be preserved at all costs
Fantastic compared to reusing a password like.. unfortunately 80+% of the workforce in my main job (and we’re a tech firm, so I shudder to think how bad it is with normies). For everything else, relying on someone else to store your passwords is just a recipe for a titanic cock-up at the worst possible moment
I just don’t like typing and remembering just like a Rick Allen and Gary Busey buddy comedy
I can relate (for the remembering part), I just wanted to point out the security downside to relying on an external service for such tasks. A way to at least mitigate the “service suddenly disappearing” that plagues tech, remember to occasionally export your password list to a secure device of your choosing.
Going over to a friend’s house to watch the game. Mrs. Fozz laid out my “outfit”, and I immediately said, “NOPE!” 54 years old and she thinks I’m going to listen to her.
Fozzie’s “outfit”:
Say anything you want about Fozzie but he has great tits.

… in the end, you’ll do anyway. So, the only question is whether it’ll be the easy way or the migraine way 😉
Look I think the waiter shirt that was worn the night Ron Goldman was murdered is a nice touch
Not a problem, those Garanimals are mix and match!
Porto dog!
Wow! That looks so good!
My dog had brie, mushrooms and a sweet mustard and fuck you America!
You don’t even do hot dogs right!
… to go to Porto and drink beer instead of .. I’m speechless. Mostly because when I did the exact same thing during our stay there, my wife gave me that look that somehow combines “I can’t even” with “I’ll teach you taste and culture, even if I have to kill you first” 😀
By the way, if the bar does ’em – try Tripas de Porto 😉
One of the best meals of my life was 2 days ago. A husband and wife run place and the tripas brought fucking tears to my eyes. Slow cooked with chorizo and beans.
I’ve seen the light and the light is tripas.
Fuck me it was delicious.
I need to strategize a way to get all this done by 4:25
1). Watch Arsenal
2). Go to gym
3). Walk dog
4). Mow lawn, which is getting high enough to hide a cow in, with more rain coming tomorrow.
5). Nap
Here’s the working plan right now. Go to the gym, put the Arsenal game on the TV. Return home, get dog walked. That probably gets me to 2:30-3:00. By then the lawn should be dry enough to mow. Mow and rake lawn. 4:15. Shower, which will be a necessity at that point.
Pretty sure the nap is going to have to coincide with the game, but that’s what the Jets are for, right?
Or .. you could’ve done yourself a favour and made a home gym for yourself as it could’ve helped even with walking the dog (our lab bloody loves running on the treadmill)
My dog, (and for that matter, me), loves the woods. We have a 2-6 mile route through a forested area near us. He’s closing in on 8, so 3 miles is about the max these days. Back in his younger days he’d go the whole thing and want to play tug with
Lowra, uh, his stuffed animals, when we got backTug = Red Rocket
We got arsenal on in the Porto sports bar. Too bad you don’t have time to hop on a plane and head over here
… or he can find a nice winery in the area and combine “culture” and sports 😉
This guy gets it!
You are there! I thought you were in one of those stan places I can’t spell. You kids have fun, don’t get arrested and cause an international incident.
We were walking to the sports bar. And it’s me and Dok in Portugal walking to a sports bar.
This is pretty fucking incredible.
It’s a small world after all🎶
This is one time where we all really do want pictures of the plates at dinner.
Oh I’ve got that covered.
I just flew here from Turkmenistan yesterday, big difference culturewise!
I bet! Smiling on the street isn’t illegal, for one.
Go to the gym, Arsenal game on phone, dog running on adjacent treadmill, mow lawn while on Ambien.

3 4 5 and drop 1 and 2.
Huh, Bengals’ annual Edge of the Abyss Game is early this year.
Fellow AARP eligible JLC.
I think this was photshopped. The setting reminds me of… I never thought it could happen to me… I was in a Portuguese sports bar, and…
I would say that’s Dona Speir of the Andy Sidaris movies but her boobies are too small. Looks like someone photoshopped Jamie Lee Curtis’ face over someone
Artetta being asked why he’s starting the back-up keeper over Ramsdale and he’s too polite to tell the truth, which is that Everton is terrible and this is a low risk chance to see what he’s got with the second-string guy.
We’ll just forget that crucial 1-0 loss to Everton last season.
Ahem, each of our losses is crucial.. to the plan that the Darkest one has to destroy every last shred of hope (that we’re going to win anything of consequence ever again) we have and yield .. and do drankin’ in copious amounts. Copious enough to make the iPhone desirable
I mean, no one’s winning anything in the Premier, or for that matter likely the Championship, so long as Manchester City is around anyway. We’re #2! We’re #2!
Hey, we may get lucky and the ManShitty’s jet could crash and helps us out. After all, it won’t be the first time a plane carrying Manchester players does an oopsie
The Manchester Thundering City?
You mean the airplane oopsie? Nah, the Munich Air Disaster that took out Busby’s Babes
… In lieu of ‘Hello’… According to a YT channel that covers cheesy B-grade (and worse) movies.. this is a thing that happened
Pretty easy to see up her skirt.
Blah, it’s just a cheap remake of Attack Of the 60 Foot Centerfold.
I’m pretty sure it’s a cheap copy of a copy of a xero-copy of a copy of that movie. Also, somehow managed (according to the clips from that YT showcase) to plumb new levels of sub-porno grade acting 😀
A challenging assent. Good hand holds thought.
This sounds like it would get made fun of in the not-to-distant future (next Sunday, AD).

That’s Hippo’s Classic Pot Roast!
The desire to put in rookie Chargers wr Quentin Johnson to stack with Herbert vs a Titans secondary that gave up an average of 274 yards last year (most) is overwhelming.
/would mean sitting Zay Jones, Michael Thomas or Gabe Davis though
Only consider benching Gabe Davis.
Gah. He only had 3 targets last week, right there with Donald Parham.

Me too. I don’t normally watch west coast JV, but I had a brain fart and decided to watch the 4th quarter because it might have been fun to see Coach Prime lose to a 24-point underdog. I guess that wasn’t to be. Whoever the ESPN announcing team was, they should be taken out and shot.
They had a narrative and they were sticking to it.
THESE SOUTH AFRICAN SPRINGBOKS I CALL THEM THE POST-SPYGATE PATRIOTS BECAUSE THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY OBLITERATING THEIR COMPETITION WITHOUT PITY OR REMORSE.

This might be the last Sunday this year when I be the first to arrive.
Why? Because it’s after 2:00 PM in Portugal and the sports bar doesn’t open until 4!
Yes, we did find a sports bar that theoretically shows the NFL games.
Let’s find out of that’s true or not.
Bom Dia pesoas!
Oh I didn’t know you liked Portugal.
How are they not open? There’s rugby on!
A sports bar not open until 4-the Portugalians are a strange people indeed.
They’re open now and we just watched another draw from the Cherries.
