Your Sunny* Sunday Afternoon Open Thread (plus small amount of political content)

*Your weather may vary.

I do love the Harris’ campaign throwing Trump and his acolytes off-balance. The latter were not even remotely prepared for this approach.

No sense lollygagging like Blax-let’s get into a few observations about yesterday’s action.

-That Carolina/Buffalo game was pretty interesting given what it was. Frank Gore Jr, son of Frank Gore The Compiler acquitted himself quite well yesterday, crossing the 100 yard barrier and adding a TD as well. He’s an UDFA which is a bit surprising because the NFL hive mind loves the offspring of former players and he ran for 1,000+ yards in his last two years at Southern Miss. Perhaps his 4.69 40 time came into play while his assessment was done? Anyway, to my untrained eye his play speed is much faster than that.

-The NFC East took a beating yesterday. The Eagles had their doors blown off 26-3, the Cowboys took the L and qb Lance threw 5 picks and the Giants put all of two field goals on the board and DeVito was sacked three plays in a row. It’s preseason but still.

-My prediction of Atlanta being sneaky good this year? They lost 31-0. It’s preseason but still.

To The Games!

TEN/N.O.:

-Juwan Johnson is a nice streaming option if that’s the way you want to go. He had 7 scores just two years ago. Maybe a better best ball player.

-The Titans finally (finally!) put some resources towards their wr room and it shows. Calvin Ridley can be a difference-maker and was held back by Prison Girlfriend imo, Hopkins’ best years are behind him and he’s injury-prone (though he did play all 17 games last year) but he can still get open and move the chains and the uber-dependable Tyler Boyd was always under rated in Cincy.

ARI/DEN:

-This is Bo Nix’s team I’ll have you know! Them Broncs have been starving for adequate qb play for years now and I think they’re just one or two seasons away from finally seeing it.

-Folks in the fantasy community are done with Javonte and think that Jaleel McLaughlin Group is the answer as the three down back that Payton covets. He doesn’t have the build of an every down back though.

-The Cards receiving/tight end group is very talented and very young. They could be Mentos in a Coke bottle as soon as this year.

N.E./WAS:

-It’s going to be weird seeing Ekeler in a Commies uni. Sure, players jump to different teams all the time but this one hits different.

-The uniquely-named Olamide Zaccheaus (please, someone come up with a nickname for this guy so that I never have to type that again) wowed everyone in training camp and with Dotson gone, has secured himself a starting role. Kudos to him-I had him pegged (snorts) as a wr on the fringe of rosters as long as he was in the league.

Let’s do this…
