Halfway through the season I’d turn my nose up at these offerings but hopeful me is just going to ride the waves.
To The Games!
Raiders/Chargers:
Did Minshew win the job or did O’Connell lose it, letting it slip right through his hands? The latter for sure. No worries though, the starter is less than cromulent so we’ll be seeing both through the season and it won’t matter to anyone other than Davante. We know Pierce wants to play 80’s style ‘Grind and D’ so for that reason I think Zamir White has a ton of unrealized fantasy value.
Broncos/Seahawks:
At least Nix has a bit of history on his side in that he’s the only other Denver rookie qb to play in a season opener aside from Elway. Seattle’s OC Ryan Grubb is the latest offensive hot commodity and we’ll see what he’s capable of with Geno and that stacked wr room.
Cowboys/Rams:
That high-powered Dallas offense may not hit the ground running given that they’re playing that nasty Cleveland D in their own back yard. One tends to forget about Amari Cooper but he’s the very first Browns wr to record back-to-back 1,000 receiving seasons. Is Watson ever going to show his Houston credentials?
Commies/Bucs:
I don’t know, Washington-Dan Quinn and Kliff Kingsbury? They seem like retreads to me but once you’re in the club it’s almost impossible to be kicked out if you don’t want to go. So much hinges on Jayden Daniels’ arm and fleet feet. McLaurin will give him all the help he can, being one of only six players to have 900+ yards in each of his first five seasons. Speaking of, Mike Evans just keeps rolling along.
Get out there and type.
These AFC west games are putting me to sleep, Denver vs Seattle, Oakland vs San Diego snooze fest.
you get an injured TE! and you get an injured TE!
Fights on the field? That’s Rikki’s Raiders!
FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!
announcer 1: there’s a fight on the field involving the raiders! it has now spilled into the stands!
announcer 2: no, that fight has been going on since the 2nd quarter
It’s fun to say Charbonnet
I prefer Sauvignon Blanc
I feel like Charbonnet should be a variety of mushroom that goes well with Sauv Blanc when sauteed in butter
Seahawks found their balls while I was out
Well, some balls.
I love how NFL games are indistinguishable from Madden
HOX!!!! !
Daniels!
IN. COM. PLETE!
I never eat ice cream, it’s been years but I did have the foresight to buy a pint of Ben and Jerry’s pistachio pistachio at the store today.
Where’s my spoon?
Ice cream is so good, and pistachio is a quality flavor. Enjoy!
Wow, I can’t remember the last time I had pistachio ice cream!
Screw it, we already play Special Teams vs. Special Teams. Play Offense vs. Offense and Defense vs. Defense!
atlanta sports this afternoon:
-falcons lose to a stillers team that does not score a single touchdown
-womens roundball falcons blow (multiple!) leads, lose in OT
(dirtball falcons did win, but against a canadian dirtball team, meaning after including the exchange rate, it was only 0.86 of a win)
Dirtball is a game, not a sport.
Brats and potato salad were fucking awesome, beers are flowing, TAJ and I both got blowout wins.
It’s been a good day.
It would be better if it wasn’t 93 fucking degrees outside. On the harbor!
The fuck man?
The Saints D got me 20 points in my money league!
93 is good.
Hippo be writin’ now. This slate is buttttttttt.
LOVED how Fatty Payton was pissy with the sideline reporter for hinting that maybe Nix didn’t look awesome.
I agree!! It’s great!!
Make sure to put in a good word for HOX!!!!
I have been craving some Hippo Thoughts since Thursday
When my intetnet went out last night, DFO went to posts from a year ago. One of them was Hippo thoughts from the first week of the season. I was tingling in antici…………………….pation!
The Browns sold their soul and just got worse, lol
HAHAHAHAHAHA

and the Factory is Open for Business.
The Crosby’s!
HOX!!!
All we need now is a rouge.
Why can’t we have nice things?
Actually really like Jayden Daniels so far, he’s being smart with his runs, not taking hits, getting passes off quickly when possible, making the most of what’s around him without martyring himself
That’s my fantasy QB in the Lowratio league so, yay!
now only which department of the Commies will ruin him, maybe the Catering Staff will strike this time
I’m thinking they’ll get funding for a new stadium and then the next day the plumbing in FedEx will cause an outbreak of amoebic dysentery
The halftime show was the “Whoop there it is guys” playing that one beat for eight minutes.
When we had Jaguars season tickets, halftime was usually either fat women doing Jazzercise or frisbee dogs. I would have been happy with the whoop guys.
Boo! Try it from 71!
Captain Bluebunny giving away 3 points at the end of the half? ColoUr me shocked!
the most surprising bit is that it’s only 3
I hate that droning voice of Brady’s. If I hadn’t seen his juiced ass I would assume he was a fucking straight out of an 80s teen sex comedy movie nerd.
He’s just totally lacking in charisma, super stiff when he speaks
MADE 66-yard FG, off the board via BLEERGH
Mike fucking McCarthy
Fuck off, you tool
My not particularly bold predictions that Bryce Young and Rapey Watson would continue to be awful is coming true, much like my prediction that there would be continued turmoil in the Middle East!
Lol, Brownies.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer person
Counterpoint: Dallas deserves nothing good
True, but the meteorite never seems to make an appearance
Tough, but fair
Not sure if Lesser Harbs is aware Maxxxxxxx Crosby is a real, actual person.
What the NFL record for safeties in a half? I might see it.
Nix YPA – 2.1
That’s seems high.
Safety Dance III: The Search for WOO?
Lowratio having himself a day!
I feel like Olivia dealing with an Eli sugar high.
You have to take it out of reverse to go forward!
Um, at this rate, the Steelers are going to be in sole possession of first place in the AFC North.
WTF?!?
HAIL CHAOS
Dak Prescott is going to be a Cowboy for life after signing his new contract. Daniel Jones is going to be a Giant for life, but mostly because his offensive line is going to get him killed before he sees 28.
He still has an injury guarantee for next year. LOL
Canned ham keeps for ages
I find it a little weird a Weezer song from 2001 is being featured on ads for a FOX drama.
I mean, that’s too new for CBS’s target audience.
Color is too new for their audience
television is too new for their audience
They’re listening on the wireless.
Sorry I meant “coloreds”
Charmslinger would have been crucified for any one of the seven fucktarded things Nix has done so far.
Still. Two safeties in one HALF. That’s perfection.
Three is possible! FUCK ME!
I could have sworn Geno was gonna sneak it on 3rd just to avoid that
SeaTruther defense is being very considerate of Nix’s fee-fees
Ridiculous. I hate this game.
https://twitter.com/minakimes/status/1832887200343789648
6 off Geno
4 off OL
0 by Nix
and lookit suave Bastard Man, Mina Kimes all sliding into his DMs…

I thought we were done with this bullshit.

I have barely noticed #ThePauls’ game, but when I do, the Cowpersons are beating the tar shit out of TheShaun. Which is nice.
The Cowboys should line Parsons up at cornerback, just for the hell of it.
Not like they can pay him next year anyway.
I had no idea Denver was SO SAFETY
Hence all the orange
HURR DURR BIG WOKE SAFE SPACE HOW COME THEY CAN SAY IT IN THEIR HIPPITY HOP
/Looks around
How the hell did he get out?
I mean, “Free” is right there in Free Range, champ.
THIS WASHINGTON DEFENSE I CALL THEM THE TROLLEY PROBLEM BECAUSE NO MATTER WHAT THEY DO IT WILL END POORLY
Safety Two – DonksWOO Boogaloo???
God DAMMIT!
This is fucking bullshit
I apparently have enough lifetime dosage of opium to SEE TEH FUTURE
Neat!
my life has purpose again!
(settle down JD, I ain’t say “porpoise”)
Nix is just begging to throw another INT.
Make it a pick 6 loser.
Color guy saying “give it to the big fella” and then production immediately throwing to a shot of Mike McCarthy just seems mean.
Was the drive presented by Blue Bunny Ice Cream?
Dak can wear that Walter Payton patch all he wants but he’ll never measure up to Sweetness’s one Super Bowl ring.
Minchew YIKES dude!
Hahahaha!!!
That’s nawttttt rockinggg
But it was funny.
Wow, I didn’t even think about the Washington kicker. He is poor at his job it seems.
Also, Jayden, FASTEN YOUR HELMET SECURELY DAMMIT
I left USAA when they went back to advertising on FoxNews after the insurrection.
This is why I get to carry such a big chip on my shoulder.
Hey, so, no reason, but are we gonna restart the Eliminator Challenge next week?
Fucking Bengals.
I picked New Orleans, did I just win?
You’re certainly in good shape to do so.
So glad I didn’t pick them in any of my suicide leagues.
You knew who they were! This is on you!
Wow. Geno Smith. Mobile quarterback. I remember the days when the only thing mobile on him was his jawbone.
