First things first-I have so many thanks to give to Hippo for filling in while I was putting 1,000+ kilometers on my vehicle this weekend. The dude is always there-just like tWBS was back in the day. Is it a NC State thingy?
Fallout:
-“Regressions? I’ve had a few.”- That’s Mac Jones, a candy cigarette hanging out of his mouth, waxing philosophic after the game in Germany.
-Well, well, well-look who slid slyly into the 2nd overall draft spot in 2024. Why yes, it was Tommy DeVito and The UnDesirables.
-The Steelers have still not outgained a single opponent so far this year. I’m thinking they’re first round playoff fodder at best but if an unscheduled Total Eclipse of the Moon occurs during that scenario, well, all bets are off.
-Noah Brown went off again, this time for 172 Cubits.
-C.J. Stroud is giving me that, “Dan Marino in his rookie year” vibe. That’s two special games in a row. The Deanna Favre in me says it’s a small sample.
-Brain Burners: Indy/Pats, Giants/Cowboys, Jets/Raiders.
-Barn Burners: Browns/Ravens, Lions/Chargers, Texans/Bengals.
-A guy on Sirius said last night, “Arthur Smith is a really smart guy, just ask him if you have a half hour to spare.” Bijan has only received 19 or more touches three times this year-the results are 172, 137 and 106 combined yards. The rest of the time Atlanta has been a shitbag team.
To The Game!
Broncos/Bills:
-Buffalo moves into a playoff spot with a win. This is not a thing I expected to be typing in week 10.
-Latavius Murray has already called two “Players Only” meetings but the most recent one was to ask if anyone had seen his reading glasses recently. Von Miller pointed out that they were on his head.
-Has the Broncos D seen the light? Although overall they give up the 2nd-most points per game (that 70 point loss to the Fins will mess with your metrics) in their last three they’ve held opponents to 19, 17 and 9.
-Diggs is the ball hog that runs the Bills O (how’s that going for the Bills O overall?) but when Gabe Davis is targeted 6 or more times he’s good for 87+ yards and TD’s to boot.
Hey, have a good one out there!
Someone around here is pretty damn happy about that Sutton catch
Sutton has soft hands. He definitely uses the lotion.
He doesn’t want the hose again.
Sutton WOO!
This game, I call it the Mid-Life Crisis of the 2023-24 NFL Season, because its just over halfway completed, but we’re having severe doubts on what is happening, what has happened and where we’re going.
I’m starting to suspect Denver +7.5 may be on some rather enormous win tickets in Las Vegas. I guess the sports betting giants on the strip don’t move often, but when they do they REALLY send it in. It’s starting to look like everyone has this Buffalo mob pretty well figured out on offense. I wonder if the smart money is on Denver here?
They secretly replaced a Monday Night Football game with a Thursday Night Football game. Let’s see if anyone notices.
I would be happy to provide a different kind of entertainment if you like. Let me just look for my Q Lazarrus record…
All day I hoped Russ would turn this into a good game, not Josh turn this in to a Thursday Nighter.
Buffalo looks good!
This one here, not the team:
NAWT SHAGGY ENOUGH, 4/10 WOULD NAWT BANG
My understanding is that Emily in Paris would, though.
Only if he was bashful, disheveled and smoked Gauloises Red.
He clearly smokes American Spirits, but has the bashful and disheveled down so he could totally get laid at NYU
I wish I were as talented at doing anything as Josh Allen is at throwing interceptions.
It kicks the punt inside the 10, or else it gets the hose again!
Who runs Espen Deportes Wardrobe Dept.? Flashy Pentecostals
Oh, look at those sexy wrists…
But the neckline of a WHORE
tsk tsk
Let Russ Steal Second
Let Russ have his youthful optimism and faith stripped away until he’s a husk of a human just doing the minimum to present a game face to the world while the winds of fate whistle through his hollow soul
Well that skipped some levels.
Denver has a guy named Manhertz? Throw it at his balls!
“Whoa, whoa, whoa-it’s gotta be consensual!”
–That guy
He gets that frequency, I mean frequently
God I hate, hate, HATE these fat people commercials.
I do too. We are NOT that jolly.
Listen, fat folk’s structurally-compromised, wobbly near-diabetic knees support our fast food economy!
Spotted today
It amazes me that Bill Burr has enough time in his schedule to also coach the Buffalo Bills
Not like he’s spending his time writing ground breaking new material.
I watched his latest show on Netflix, boy that last 15 minutes was a snoozefest
I like Burr, but it’s probably time to transition to full-time acting. His last couple of stand-ups have been some tired shit.
Oh, BURR nawt BARR
If you haven’t checked out F is for Family on Netflix, you should
Turning 2 road turnovers into a 3-point lead seems like a great recipe for failure.
Just gotta get the turnover every drive, then it won’t matter that you can’t convert to points!
See, this is why-come you is a DOKTOR
Let Russ Quick Kick
McGlinchey might wear #69, but I don’t think he’s niiiiiiiiiiicccccce
Does Shaun O’Hara live at Archie and Olivia’s house?
The words “balls” and “coming that hard” were just used in one sentence.
My day is turning around.
That gif? I didn’t see it coming.

I’ve got Josh Allen and James Cook on my FF team. I need 20 points. Going great!
We’ve replaced the Bills with every Browns team in the past. Let’s see if anyone notices.
Time for another team meeting!
I’m bowling now and hadn’t even noticed they have the game on directly above my pins.
Turn it off.

Bills looking sharp.
GUH, of course that happened
Buffalo has the drunkest fans in the NFL, but it seems to have carried over to the players on the field tonight.
I wish there was a camera focused on my face while I was working, like they have in the NFL. I can only imagine the results.
https://youtu.be/gb01zSD_Pa4?si=zNpR4GKydTtDhcX8
Whenever I feel like the universe hates me, I can always console myself by remembering I’m not a Bills fan
Bills Fan here, born cursed. Father grew up in a superfund site known as the Love canal.
I was born in Rochester, but escaped Bills fandom when I was 3 and my parents moved to the DC metro area. A little bit of a frying pan/fire situation, but at least Snyder was of shorter duration than whatever is wrong with the Bills
Didn’t we (almost) all come out of the Love canal?
Yo mamma so slutty they declared her Love Canal a Superfund site
You all know me, so I’m going to post this observation.
Lately, in three different commercials I have noticed actors with Vitiligo – basically white patches that occur on people with darker skin.
That’s very heartening in my opinion.
I’ve noticed this as well.
So far, those actors have only been in the background – if you watch the NFL Team Shop commercial, there’s a quick cut of a woman with vitilgo
Y’all are paying way too much attention to commercials
As a life long marketing weasel, I notice these things.
I don’t know why I just thought of this, (other than being kind of a degenerate), but this would make an outstanding audible
No. This is just the Minshew overexposure talking.
Kind of?
Sex Cannon’s been saying this since middle school.
Thank absolute fuck I don’t need any points out of Cort Sutton tonight. 5-5 here I come!!
Hippo, the Broncos offensive lineup is brought to us by Barefoot Wine. NAWT A GOOD SIGN.
yeah even I know that’s some rank shite
Hippo getting erecter
Welp, that was quick. Will probably be the highlight.
Well that’s a less-than-ideal start for Buffalo.
I wonder if this will be the game that finally brakes Peyton.
That’s a big flag.
THE SHIELD LUVS TROOPZ
This game is optional, right?
If you don’t watch this game, don’t bother showing up for the Thursday and Sunday morning games!
Wait, is that an option!?
Fuck you Dancing with the Stars
It’s catnip to old folks. My mother will not answer the phone when it’s on.
Today I discovered why AI sucks. There’s a company called Remotasks, which basically hires people with expertise in various fields to rate and improve how the AI responds (it’s called human feedback reinforcement learning or HFRL, which is a stupid acronym). It’s paid as piece work, but I figured I would give it a shot seeing as I’m doing the unemployment thing. I started the training on rating responses and holy crap are their guidelines fucked up. Apparently calling pi “something we use to learn about circles” is an accurate and complete answer to asking why pi has so many numbers in it. And it’s perfectly concise to have two seperate sections that list the exact same type of content. So yes, we can blame the training data, but instead of making it better AI developers are going out of their way to create new data that is just awful.
That’s why i still use 5er to outsource all my funniest DFO comment jokes
I’m looking for sidework, is it worth looking into?
Maybe, although it seems like a pretty good amount of effort for what they pay. Probably worth checking out and seeing how it fits into your bullshit tolerance though, even if you don’t end up wanting to ‘task’ for them, it’ll give you some good material for bitching about AI
Just sell heroin. it’s much less damaging to society.
Go to the Trump Rallies and call it Trump MAGA Powder. Make a profit and do a public service.

“What I Did on My Monday”, by Fozz
This is how I spent my Monday. It sucked elephant balls.
Well, Don T and Denzel have the elephant balls part covered down below.
Cheers to survival. I really don’t understand why people make such a big deal about managed care places, most of them are really very nice. My grandmother resisted for years and loved it when she eventually agreed. I recommend you ask ChatGPT to write you an argument for why they’re a good thing, then don’t say any of that and go punch someone who deserves it in the nuts instead.
My mother is selfish and stubborn. I am the only child who cuts it to her straight. My sisters swoop in and protect her. Now the party line is, “Let’s wait until after the holidays.”
My response, “Oh, ok. So when he punches one of his caregivers, or falls and hurts himself, or walks out of the house and gets lost, it’ll be okay because you know CHRISTMAS TIME WITH FAMILY.”
AND, yes having someone in the house with dementia and trying to prepare for the holidays makes everything even more fucking festive.
I’m not going to get involved with any of this shit. Fuck it.
Put a bunch of LSD in the pumpkin pie, then dip out
My Grandma fought it too, she was in a really nice place. My parents moved back to PA from years in Florida, because my mother wanted to die at home. She never even made it to the assisted living condo they bought, the trip up killed her. Dad lived there himself until he died 5 months later. Wow, this is depressing, I’ll shut up now.
That’s devastating, so sorry to hear that.
My talent is compartmentalizing my emotions so I can use pure logic. I’ll visit those emotions once all this shit is done. Maybe. Well, when I get blasted on vodka, they’ll all come out. But I won’t cry. ever.
I’m already planning on getting a cabin in the woods, some hard liquor and dealing with my feelings when this is all over.
But not now; my family needs a rock and I’m the only one who can be that,
I hear ya. Struggling mightily, and failing more often than not, to not bring this anger and frustration home to my family.
I have a playlist in Spotify that is marked Anger. It helps me when I’ve finished a phone call or interaction with my family.
My Dad is not quite there yet but he already said he doesn’t want to put us through that. No feeding tube or breathing assist. As soon as the ALS hits his throat or diaphragm, he’s on hospice and that’s the final countdown.
So, yeah, you could’ve been living this dream. Yay.
I had a long-ass migraine nap today. Feeling ok-ish now, and ready to be hurt again (Donks WOO!!!)
I say HELL YEA
two envelopments at the same damn time
Heh heh. Had to look that one up.
Why would you say “atop of an” instead of just “atop an” ? Twitter ruined brevity smdh
Why not just say the elephant was beneath him. Humans rule dammit! God’s will #EmbraceIt
Never leaving the house allows one to do game coverage on short notice. ESPECIALLY how little thought I put into my typety typing. SoUrry about all that hellscape windshield time.
Gorgeous drive from our nation’s capital to the
hobo killing fieldsNorth of Ontario.The driving was done (I like driving but maybe not that much in such a small window) because older staple-headed kid is having a rough time and I thought hanging out together would be a good thing.
Scott Van Pelt’s wardrobe reminds me.

Got my Spikevax and flu shot this morning and I’m just starting to feel my lymph nodes swelling up, fun!
