I read somewhere that the broadcaster is tinkering around with starting times to see if there’s any difference in viewership numbers. Has anyone read anything else on the subject? I’m curious to know. I do like the option of having a less sucky option should the circumstances warrant it.
Fallout:
-Lots of injuries: Saquon has a regular ankle (not high) sprain and will be out a few weeks. (do not waste your time picking up other backfield Giants) Montgomery has a thigh bruise, Anthony Richardson has a cabeca (for all of those readers in Portugal at the moment) issue, same with Waddle, OBJ has some ankle issue, Mooney got himself a knee but says he’ll play, Logan Thomas was done dirty and Edmonds is on IR.
-Giants Lead The League!…in negative point differential with -37. The Bears are 2nd with -28.
-Does Sack Wilson make it to the 6 game mark? I don’t think so, not with a few more 12-27 outings with 3 turnovers to boot. Is he that bad? He seems so…unprepared.
-The Day I Became a Puka Truther: 20 targets! 35 after two weeks! That kid can get separation. Kudos to those that took a flier on him after last week. There’s another wr rook doing well but he’s flying under the radar and that’s Tank Dell. (I hope to grab him in Math Hard! league, so leave him alone!) Houston will be behind all year so he should get lots of action if his puny 165lb frame holds up. (it won’t)
-That field goal by McVay, meaningless and yet so meaningful for the bettors out there. My tinfoil hat is giving me a hard stare.
To The Games!
Saints/Panthers:
-Olave and Thomas and Shaheed should do quite well given that cb Jaycee Horn is out.
-Bryce Young was a struggle squirrel vs Atl last week. Wait until he sees an even better defensing unit. He says the team needs chunk plays to get over the hump tonight so let’s see him air it out.
-I keep forgetting that Derek Carr plays for the Saints-speaking of ‘chunks’, he had 5 passing plays of over 20 yards and 2 over 40.
-Remember, this is an NFC South ‘showdown’, anyone can win this division.
Browns/Steelers:
-Thinking of playing the money line? Guess what Pitt’s record at home on Monday Night is over their last twenty games? That’s right, 20-0.
Diontae is out of this one but Amari indicated he could perhaps play today. We’ll see.
-Seven games into his Browns career and Deshaun has impressed no one. When pressured his sack rate is 30.7%, 4th-worse in the league. When he isn’t staring at the stars he’s connecting to teammates at a 20 for 52 rate.
-With Heyward out and the Steelers giving up 5.5 ypc last week, expect huge amounts of Chubb. Cleveland ran for 200+ last week.
There you are.
It ain’t pretty, but I’ll take it.
stillers since 1980
Oh, way before that. Terry Bradshaw had many horrendous games that the defense had to bail his dumb ass out of.
Watt Watt in the butt.
SUDDEN CHANGE!
lmao
Troy, if you think Watson’s going to have a problem coming underneath then you have not been paying attention.
man, if they get a major injury during that toy story game
watsons really grabby tonight
He just can’t keep his hands to himself.
Steel Curtain parting more quickly than Chasey Lain’s slightly scabbed knees

This is the only proper response
Unlike Chubb, I have a job to be at tomorrow. Later.
Like Chubb you have a collection of shattered knees.
Are Watson and Pickens still looking like 3rd rate Arena Football league QBs?
watson is starting to find his stroke
I’m guessing that is leading to a quick release?
especially in a spread formation
Come on safety for the safety gods!
That’s way more face mask than i care to see on a punter.
Thicc Punter – man of the match?
Dee fault are the two greatest words in the English language!
Shut up, Bird.
Not like Watson isn’t used to putting his hands in places they don’t belong.
“No! Noooo! Those stupid bitches wouldn’t put their hands in places they do belong!”
-D Watson
How are we still in the 3rd quarter?
This game has been dragging on for so long, conservatives aren’t letting their kids watch it.
But, taking certain lyrics and acts from Alanis Morrisette’s “You Oughta Know” are perfectly acceptable around children.
HASHTAG FAMILY VALUES
I just asked myself that
“they dont play defense in the last 2 minutes anymore, its just 7 on 7 drills now”
CLE/PIT: will actually finish 7 on 7 at this rate
I feel like I have a lot in common with Pittsburgh’s #50, in that if I were asked to get into a 3-point stance for more than 3 seconds I would also need to be helped off the field.
Glictch Roberts?
If Adrian Peterson doesn’t come out dancing to ‘Beat It’ on ‘Dancing With The Stars’ then what are we even doing here?
THIS GAME WITH ALL THESE INJURIES TO CLEVELAND LEMME TELL YA I CALL IT A COLONOSCOPY CLEANSE BECAUSE WE’RE RUNNING OUT OF BROWNS
‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ looks like a fantastic movie, but having read the book I’m not sure I want to see it. It’s not a great story, and there is a distinct lack of flowers in it.
-film reviewer Georgia O’Keefe
“Oh those aren’t flowers.”
Somebody needs to talk to Pickett about his pedo-stache. Look, kid. They’re already calling you Uncle Jack. Do you want to buy an ice cream van, too?
“Pickett to Pickens-who drew up this play, August Wilson?”
-Dennis Miller
dennis miller on mnf was…something else
https://web.archive.org/web/20210125003106/https://www.espn.com/abcsports/mnf/s/annotatedmiller/index.html
They used ‘Golden Bachelor’ when ‘Lemon Party’ was right there?
NEXT! On Bravo!!
Can’t wait to see the commerials!
“watson let some frustration go…”
thats gonna take forever to clean up
Fuck, that’s better than mine.
“DeShaun Watson letting some frustration go!”
Well, that’s never ended badly before.
Yes, when will HE catch a break?
Oh, come on! Give him the damn half yard!
[draws on cigarette] “Half yard, huh? That’s not a phrase I’ve heard of in a long, long time.”
-A Canadian
finally a ford that doesnt break down
‘Welcome back to Pittsburgh, where it is our sad duty to inform you that Nick Chubb has been humanely euthanized.”
Which means drowned
That’s what all the rivers are for.
Could be worse. In Cleveland he’d have immolated and then drowned, without the inconvenience of having to move so much as an inch.
bears tank status:
CHI 0-2
CAR 0-2
Caleb Williams: Can I go for a master’s and still play for USC?
Losing to Hippo by .86 points. Just one pass to Michael Thomas would do it. But lo, it’s kneel-down time.
Seriously? Watch it change with the mid-week stat adjustments.
Both of these offenses are in a race to the sub-basement, like the one below The Hurt Locker
(Not you, this is life under The Hurt Locker)
“No Elisha, the sub-basement is not where the substitute teacher lives.”
Just saw the replay. Had Willis McGahee flashbacks.
Precisely what I said.
yeah just saw the Snyder cut oof minkah a knee seeking missile
I trust the jokes were left to a minimum. A fractured Chubb is nothing to laugh about.
/cue that “Bent Carrot” ad campaign
“Yes, yes, minimum chubb, very funny.” – Deanna Favre
I didn’t realize that Derek Carr was in New Orleans. Not sure the combination of someone that emo in the voodoo capitol of the country is a good idea.
Jesus. Some guy during the halftime show is talking like Chubb is in palliative care.
I thought that was super weird too
This is why you don’t pay running backs folks.
For someone who criticized Bill Simmons for his late-career hackery Drew sure does seem to love running full speed down the same road.

Fuck off with this nonsense. Go write your 17th version of ‘Why Your Team’ sucks and pretend you’re not doing the same things as Simmons.
I stopped reading his stuff years ago. You are absolutely correct, it is the same damn thing all the time.
It is damned hard to stay in the zone for 10+ years, he had a “very high peak” hilarity, though.
Easily the best of the KSK writers but he hit the wall harder than Fitzpatrick hit Chubb’s knee.
At least he hasn’t gone full Ape yet.
Was it ape that got cancelled and then went off the rails on Elon’s hellscape so a while there?
Hoo boy. That’s an entirely different package, but yes.
The xmas catalogue takedown was always brilliant.
Still prettty good IMO. Why Your Team Sucks has gone downhill.
the sex cannon got me in the door. men with balls is awesome if not VERY dated now
If he’s on strike why is he writing?
If any consolation, this is the first I’ve heard of Magary.
It’s only halftime in CLE-PIT? Feels like this game should be over.
And with that celebration, TJ Watt is now out with a torn pectoral.
They call that The Gramatica Effect.

a.k.a. The Gus Frerotte
That’s enough input from the Marine Corps, thanks.
Fine. I have an F-35 that needs some attention anyway.
Thing that bugs me about fantasy sites is that if a player is ruled out during the game (Chubb tonight, Zay Jones yesterday) lock in their points and don’t pretend they’re going to get more as the game goes on. This seems like an easy thing to do but no one seems to do it.
You can tell this is DeShaun’s Watson’s preferred offense because it seems to move best in spurts.
Lots of rub routes, too.
This blind woman can now take a photograph!! Thanks to VABAYSMO!!!

Nick Chubb Update: He gone.
that vid is almost theismann levels of bad
I know it was a long gain but Young ran like a scared dog there.
I’m contemplating touching off a firestorm via group text with my sisters.
I’m so tempted. They are so fucking delusional about committing my father to a place where he can get the right care, the right treatment, and be in the right type of atmosphere that will improve his life and keep my mother from driving herself into the ground.
He told his physical therapist the other day that he wanted to die. Weird, his mother said that a lot too.
Not sure if it’s the dementia or if he’s really miserable.
Either way, to me that’s a strong indication that it’s time to get better care for him.
As the only one who thinks this is the way to go, my sisters and mother regard me as cold hearted and unfeeling.
I would say pragmatic and logical – you want the best for both your parents but your sisters and mother aren’t coming at this from the same point of view.
That’s a tough situation, Fozz. And one that absolutely no one wants to deal with realistically. Best of luck.
For the record both of my parents have been told that I will spare no expense in finding them the most comfortable ice floe before shoving them out to sea.
I have told my sons multiple times that I will make sure they never have to make these decisions for me. When I get bad, I want a bottle of Pig Whistle, some oxy, and I’ll see you in the Promised Land.
Horatio’s Parents: “Why?”
Horatio: “How can you tell me you didn’t read the original Frankenstein book without telling me that you didn’t read the original Frankenstein book?”
Horatio’s Parents: “Oh just fuck off!”
Unfortunately they’re both what Bill Hicks would call “readers”; no way I’m tricking them like that.
Fire cleanses everything.
holy shit, nascar driver martin truex jr had an ex girlfriend die of ovarian cancer sunday, and…

sure, a pr rep probably wrote that press release but…shit honey, keep that to yourself. what the fuck were you gonna gain from that?
Attention.
Can’t help but notice she had no well-wishes for Aaron Aachilles.
I mean, she might have, I don’t really no. I could give two shits about Danica Patrick, but no more.
Like my old football coach said, “Boy, if you’re gonna make a mistake, make it count.”
