I don’t really have much to say – but what the hell. A Sunday morning placeholder, I guess!
NBC’s matinee was a pretty compelling football match, for about 35 minutes of play. #ThePauls even led 14-10 in Q2! I know, it was cray. Back and forth, and it looked pretty even. But then the 500s re-took the lead, and got a stop. They were able to successfully milk the last 5 and change before half AND convert for 7. Houston led 24-14, and would receive the opening kick in Q3. The scene was set for a kill shot.
CJ Stroud had other 230 yards passing in the first half, and both squadrons got explosive plays downfield, from both starting and backup TEs. I expected the aforementioned kill shot, and was a bit surprised when Houston had to punt. Perhaps we still could have game?
Uh, no. Kill shot delayed was NOT kill shot denied, as back to back Pick Sixes ensued. Coldblooded rookie Stroud sank his teeth into the jugular on the late Q3/early Q4 drive, for the insurmountable 45-14 lead. The game went into mutually agreed walkon time, earlier than any playoff game I can recall this century. 45-14 it would end, no MOAR fairytale for Mr. Elite. Still one hell of a ride, though. When you meet a buzzsaw, shit just happens.
Next, we fire up the tablet to stream Fins Sticks/Chefs on Peacock. At least the quality was good, and I already subscribed for Premier League footy. Cris even chickened out! Princeton Red ain’t much of an upgrade, but really – he was tolerable last night.
Things I surely did not expect – placement men going 5/5 in the first half. That’s an extra point each, and THREE Buttkicker FGs. Mahomes had significantly better passing numbers, aside from the jump ball prayer TD that Tyreek reeled in. Andy Reid was (somewhat predictably) WAY too cute with his playcalling, rather than giving Pacheco 40 touches off-tackle. But medium slant/cross routes to Rashee Rice were also working, and it mostly bled the LOLfin secondary to death.
A goshdarned FOURTH placement made it 19-7. Nothing else happened Q3, aside from Mahomes’ helmet cracking (no, not THAT helmet, Mrs. Mahomes). By now, everyone just wanted to go home, but they made ’em finish the game out. I quit paying attention at 26-7, though. Pacheco got to get a score, bully FOAR him.
Sadly, no football until 4:30 on Fox (Cowpersons/Packers), followed by the Fatthew Vengeance game in Detroit (8:00, NBC). But really…isn’t Baby Buster the one who should feel aggrieved? Fatthew just asked for a trade, and it was granted. Where does the vengeance come in? I wanted to see Mad Max – Snowmageddon Edition in WNY, but I guess at least we get an MLK doubleheader. Hydrate/nap accordingly.
Ok I’ve made my guacamole for the afternoon game and prepped my broccoli and carrots to go with the steak and baked potato I’m going to make for dinner tonight. Let’s do this shit.
As part of a healthy low fat diet, I scrambled three large eggs with a dash of Herbes de Provence, a splash of half & half, and a pinch of baking powder, served atop 100% whole wheat toast generously slathered with fresh creamery butter. A cup of coffee and small glass of pineapple juice assisted on the side. The healthy part? All of it.
Funny how no one mentioned this during the broadcast yesterday.
Well at least the Browns got…bounced out in the first round of the play-offs using a QB who had been retired at the beginning of the season. So they’ve got that going for them.
This would be great…
I’m in!
And now my new flight is delayed to the time of my original flight, but I’m already on the way to the airport so I guess I will be watching the Obnoxious Bowl at the airport
What kind of fucked up football Sunday is this?
Greetings fellows! The child labourers of Mozambique are on the verge of a historic triumph over the Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt (who have their Redshite talisman in the squad) in the Dark Continent Euros! A fine achievement for a nation that has a Human Development Index below 0.45 — it can only go up from here!
One can only assume that late penno was a very soft/corrupt decision. BeIn wasn’t televising it, the fuckweasels.
Though I guess the longer Salah stays away from the Redshite, the better.
BeIn televised it here
Richarlison seems to have gotten a neck tattoo. As with 99.999999% of humanity, I’d rate this as a poor life decision.
I don’t like them at all but I can understand if a sportsperson that makes millions gets one-he/she doesn’t have to go out into the workforce and try to get a job.
/god, I sound so old
That is indeed the #1 drawback. It’s like hanging a sign around your neck “I will steal from petty cash.”
If I ever get a neck tattoo it will 100% be “I steal from petty cash” in gothic lettering
By God that’s the Shame Pizza alarm!!!
Also, we can put a man on the moon but not make proper frozen pizza
‘We welcome you to Hartford, Connecticut!” sounds vaguely threatening.
To this day I have no idea how I wasn’t jumped walking from U. Hartford to the train station when I did my Master’s audition there. The only answer is “it was January.”
Holy Christ. I don’t have a lot of sympathy for people who are afraid of urban areas, most of them are not that bad, but that is not a route I’d describe as “safe for walking without having a rifle platoon to accompany you.”
Next time let me know and I’ll give you a ride.
Spuds are all over Men Untied
Getting ready to kick back and watch UConn do things to Georgetown that most* people wouldn’t do to a farm animal, with the likely #1 ranking available.
*analogy does not apply in Arkansas
Switched flights so I can catch most of the evening tilt instead of the afternoon one (which I might still be able to watch part of on the plane).
I just want a big bowl of coffee for lunch. Is that asking too much?
I’d forget it wasn’t a mug, and accidentally pour it down me shirt
Seems like not asking all that much at all really
on it.

African Euros available on teeeveee, not Asia Euros. Dats raycess!
ahem. THERE ARE ONLY THREE Euros. European, Afrikan, and Sudamericano.
I don’t have a disparaging nickname for the Asian tourney (unlike the Golden Shower Cup), so maybe DAS RAYCESS???
(but yeah I am a sick enough fuck to want to watch and make jokes during Iran/Palestine this afternoon)
Tis available on YouTube for gratis. The whole tourney
Thank fuck Mykolenko stayed on the pitch after his gross injury.
Unless the Tomlin voodoo is extra strength we should see Texans @ Ravens next week which should be excellent, and KC @ Bills which has a track record of being excellent so at least them’s some good matchups
yeah, Brokeback and Mahomes seem to bring out the Bananacakes in each other. Great fun for the neutral.
I just want for Mahomes to have to play a playoff game on the road. For ONCE.
Let’s see if this gif of Caroline Munro can dispel my dread and cheer me up.
It worked!
How can it fail?
It is too bad I am ready for some football because there isn’t any for hours and hours until it’s time for me to go to the airport
Back to SF?
Yup, I could have scheduled it for this morning, but figured sleeping in and then catching the early playoff games in Chicago including a snow game, possibly with company, would be better than getting up early and catching the late playoff games in Cali where my TV watching setup isn’t quite as good, but then the stupid wussy NFL ruined my plans
Think your boys have a smash and grab in them now that Beto is on, Hippo?
Possible, yes. Likely, no.
Despite my best efforts I am simply unable to decipher the series of grunts and squeals that the subhuman pig-men of the Kansas City region use to communicate with one another. I assume they are expressing some kind of joy?
#QualityHate
Given the well-known maxim blood makes the grass grow – Goodison Park’s grounds crew has to be over the moon!
Senorita Weaselo is at a student concert for one of the places she teaches at.
I am expecting screaming about one of the students who can’t count, and they’re playing Suzuki Book 4, so you’d imagine that they can count that high.
I hate most commercials like poison, but always tip my hat when I see advertising I think is of real quality. That being said, I think those musical “Don’t make ‘Future-You’ hate ‘You'” investment commercials are fantastic.
I love LOVE this commercial. Think it’s my fave

Other than eating too much pizza and having horrible taste in men, past me is a good egg
Christ, it looks like “toddler meets Pottery Barn” in there
I was getting a little tired of the TS and gurls luxury box celebration shots late in the game. Felt like sicking Joan and the thug chicks on them. That cat fight would be must see TV.
Lita Ford would clean house.
I skipped a party to watch 4.5 quarters of interesting playoff fitbaw. That’s time well spent, fuck you normies.
You might be having a rough morning, but James Tarkowski of Everton is currently having his eyebrow GLUED back together on the field.
Yeesh, Mamas, don’t let your babies grow up to be centre-halves…
Why Ron DeSantis is somehow worse than Trump, Number 1,175
Ron DeSantis Trolled At Iowa Event With ‘Participation Trophy’: ‘Proud Of You For Trying’ (msn.com)
I figured it out: DeSantis acts with the clueless and feigned humanity than the vampires on What We Do in the Shadows (tv). Still, tall order to say he’s worse than Trump at anything, I think.
sub “of” for “than” and yeah 🤪
He’s worse than Trump at doing the crimes? Give him time, though, and he could get there.
