Welcome back one and all to another week of the professional football that is oriented around cities rather than educational institutions. (feel the need to make that distinction the last few years) Any team can go on a run, sure, but this about the time the wheat starts getting separated from the chaff as it were. Anyway, let’s look at some thingys.
Minutiae:
-Robert Saleh looked towards Mecca, er, Green Bay, and found salvation. He’s part of the coaching braintrust there now and must be feeling good. Yes, ownership there might still be MAGA idiots but they don’t have a say in the running of the team.
-Icarus Be Damned!: IR is now the limit for Skyy Moore.
-Almost Perfect: Goff is only the 4th qb to attain a passer rating of 140 or above in three straight games. The others? One is Qaron, the next is Roger Staubach and the last one to do it was Brenda Warner’s meal ticket. Remember when Goff was blitzed he would fall apart? Brian Flores went that route last week and Goff responded with 13 of 15 completed passes for 163 yards and a TD.
-Thumbs Down: Bryce Young is back in the saddle before he’s ready because Andy’s fractured. Stream that Denver D, fantasy peoples!
To The Game!
Vikes/Rams:
-Teams that play the Lions are 0-4 the week after. Good luck, Minny!
-Both Nacua and Kupp might be back but they may also be on pitch counts.
-There’s trade talk involving both these QB’s. What say they trade unis at the half and the whole nation can make a comparison?
-So if the Rams lose here do they become sellers at the trade deadline?
-Jefferson hasn’t been moving on up past the 100 yard receiving mark since week 2.
-Under McVay the Rams are an Andy-ish 6-2 on Thursday nights.
-Darnold, drafted in 2018 has only played one game in Cali as a pro. How is that possible?
Give me your best.

I will let Ryan know.
My stupid opponent in my superflex league has Stafford. I am starting Pearsall and Tolbert as my WRs. I am so boned, lol
In Freezer Vodka I’m 2-5. I’m playing Litre who is also 2-5. It’s a suck off to see who gets out of relegation zone!
suck off?
4-4 F/OT
Suck! Suck! Suck!
Brocky must be playing somebody who gave up and left Demarcus Robinson active
Yes, Pitt is good this season. WVU is not. I’m aware of this, thanks.
I didn’t even say anything! Sheesh, some people are touchy!
If the Vikes do lose this, it’ll be the second Detroit QB they’ve lost to in as many weeks. Good thing there aren’t any other active ex-Detroit QBs in the NFL right now and also that it’s a spurious correlation
The foretelling of Fat Stafford’s demise was premature me thinks.
The rare trade that seemingly works out for both teams.
Herbstreit seems unduly impressed that a 36-year old man can still
walkwaddle.He’s used to watching college kids give themselves CTE in hopes of making the NFL
Yahoo gave me an ad for Hurricanes tickets, and I am offended that it thinks I am a refugee from WNY and/or Bahstahn.
Cooper + Puca =Coopa Troopa
Ok he got his ass down
The most important part!
As Madden would say, 1 cheek = 2 feet
Hey, a Papa John’s – Shaq cross promotion
Why the hell is Travis Kelce hosting a gameshow now? First the Hallmark movie, now this. The Patriots (and their fans) were awful but this is over the top.
*He says without any sort of self awareness at all
Have you heard of this Taylor Swift lady?
Is that D’Andre’s or Stromile’s sister?
Keep that up Mr. Jefferson and you’ll be moving on up to the East Side in no time!
He didn’t have that ball until he was out of bounds
Are you arguing what is a catch?
MAYBE
Only from the quiet car
What a fucking grab Mr. Jefferson.
Is that the Tyree technique? Crazy!
Fuck that guy for numerous reasons.
For sure but at least no Pats 16-0
*18-0
-Sally Hemings, startled in the Monticello drawing room
looky-loo, Jordan Addison made the team bus after all
what size was the bus tho
Darnold-esque.
my knees have been aflame the past several weeks. As soon an election stress eating season ends, I gotta get WAY LESS FAT
Stafford Mischievement Test
Sex Cannon Tribute on that last throw.
Followed by the INT. Great jorb, Fatty.
So I get a free membership to CareOne, the Amazon healthcare thing, with my job. I got a virtual appointment to renew my birth control prescription, to try them out and they promptly miscoded the visit so my insurance denied the claim and now I have to harrass them to fix it. First place that ever miscoded out of maybe 8 providers over 20 years?
Tl;dr Amazon blows
at HT, my neighboUr broght over a box of cat food that I amazon ordered, along with a video of Noodles opening HIS misdelivered package. It’s the damndest thing I ever seen.
Birth control? You’re not even married.
jots down notes in Stephen Miller
Ah shit, they heard me and now the game stream is hanging
Lol, ‘only’ 66% turnout in 2020. That was a record high, we aren’t gonna beat that this year.
Damn it. Nakua is playing and I’ve got Addison playing instead. I don’t deserve promotion.
You are making some strong assumptions, I assure you those of us in Vodka league are just as drunk and stupid as the average voter in 1973
In a couple of years we will filter out who is good, who is bad, and who is a yo yo club.
Did Davante take the Taco Bell with him to the JESTs, or is a new one built for him at the new residence?
Thursday night football Gods were angry after the 1st 4 td’s. We will get the 2nd half we deserve. 2 missed field goals, an important player will get injured, and a 17-14 finish.
We’re well on our way and it’s nawt even the half yet
Dear Prime, I do not need to see the halftime team new boot goofin before they talk nonsense at the half. Thanks.
Turntable table assembled! I’m gonna need to do some cable rearranging to get outlet access everywhere it’s needed though. I’m happy being hacky with lots of stuff, but I draw the line at plugging a power strip into a power strip
cat-chewed extension cord dating back to the 1970s or GTFO!
I’m willing to bet a hefty percentage of house fires are caused by that very scenario. Probably plugged into Christmas trees, for extra festivity.
tradition is tradition!
What albums ya got?
Lots!
I have to rebuild my collection, but Led Zep is all ready covered.
Next is Deep Purple/Black Sabbath.
It seems that the advertisers are picking up on Charissa Thompson’s combination of wit, intelligence, and attractive white lady. Damn it, I liked it when it was JUST US.
SillyCuse seems to struggle playing squadrons that are not NC State-calibre bad.
Are you saying throwing 3 pick-sixes in the first half is bad?
Perhaps maybe that’s how come THEEEEEE ran him off
Do not take a train to Northern Ontario right now after making that comment.
Taking the train to northern Ontario is what happens when you OD on pink cocaine.
With dream comfort memory to spare.
PRAISE BLEERGH
Ah yes, Santa Monica Pier and Laguna Beach, those focal points of Inglewood
gimme a package store with crackheads on teh stoop!
Just like the Golden Gate Bridge is emblematic of Santa Clara? Or the National Mall is what Landover, MD is all about?
Everyone knows the National Mall is the Mall of America in Minnesota, not Maryland silly.
I’ve been there! It was…pretty much like every other mall was back in the 80s/early 90s but still doing well
RTD: [two minutes after turning the game on at 7-0] This game is boring.
RTD: [three touchdowns later plus Spanish commentary] Okay, this game isn’t that boring.

Fatt Sackford with some surprising elusiveness there.

As if we needed another reason to hate the Chiefs, Hopkins chose Kobe’s Rapist Number.
I will never understand why someone who hates rapists so much is a Republican.
Thinking: Don’t do it. You’ve earned goodwill in DFO. Don’t ruin it. Ah, screw it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Clinton_sexual_assault_and_misconduct_allegations
Do you actually think I like Clinton?
Cut me some slack. Slick Willy was the one Democrat rapist I could think of. It’s not like my party. They’re full of them.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/apr/09/former-us-house-speaker-dennis-hastert-accused-of-molesting-four-boys
This piece of shit had gall to say Democrats hurt kids more. He fucking did.
And he killed a guy in the Oval Office
Eh, rapists are coddled everywhere, can’t make choices in life that way. The Repubs are significantly worse than Dems on domestic abuse though.
Your undefeated season ends tonight Peggers! We’re sending you home in your natural form: As LOSERS!
RELEASE THE KRAKEN!!!!
Nope! And that’s a minus for you.
https://yarn.co/yarn-clip/e4e49121-f3eb-4767-92eb-49a4a6f118de/gif
Sorry for the minus. I’m Pro-Kraken but I’m also Pro-Thanos so I’m maintaining the balance.
Eh, I’ve had worse done to me.
Thank you for forgetting to activate Nacua in lawyer math league!
I just LOVE how neither TD pass has gone to Jefferson nor Addison. Thanks a lot,
retSpecial Young Man.He’s doing all right by me tonight.
There are THREE Venom movies? Am I the only one who has seen zero of them?
You are not alone.
https://youtu.be/pAyKJAtDNCw?si=0crs4euRH7PDmPED
First: Watched it. Okay, but could’ve been better.
Second: Part of beginning. Turned off TV, went to bed.
Third: Won’t see it. Will be on phone on DFO and TVTropes if friends turn it on.
I don’t even know what that is, so needless to say I have also seen zero of them
Evil Alien Symbiotic Spider-Man but the movie takes the Spider-Man out.
It’s like they made a movie about Jason Todd/Red Hood but removing everything Batman related and his past as Robin. The character is there but without the backstory, it’s just missing something.
Dok, paying attention, artist’s rendering
So it’s wringing the dregs from the superhero genre. Gotcha
I’m a Spider-Man fan, and I haven’t seen any of them. Mind you, I always thought Venom was a lame villain, and not much better as an “anti-hero” or whatever he’s supposed to be. Ooh, he talks about eating brains! So edgy!
Yeah, if I want to see a gooey black character talk about eating brains I’ll stick to Tarman, thank you very much.

More like “Poo-ka”, amirite?
/shows self out
I was workshopping “Puka is Poopa” and it just wasn’t hitting right.
Never piss off a polka, they can make your life a living hell.
Pooka ya fucking autocorrect.
Funny how I type in the word “fucking” and the autosuggest cues up autocorrect.
Self-own!
THAT IS NOT HOW HORSE RACING WORKS!
-Morbo
I’ve acquired two more malt liquors for the tasting.
I’m starting to think I may need to take Monday off…
Possibly the rest of the month
At least work from home.
You need a good detox on standby.
Do you have a stomach pump on standby?
You’re going to need a bigger liver…and will probably get one. Need a Draft Liquor Kings parlay on which brand you like best, how many you’ll drink and how many you’ll remember
“And if you can’t finish them all off, just let your ol’buddy Todd M. take the rest off your hands, okay?”
/finger guns
-Todd Marinovich, Cardboard Box, I-10 overpass
Or, you know, and this is just a suggestion, but maybe don’t drink then? I mean, I absolutely would but but my life is not in a good place
Too bad I’m off (insert any particularly specific date). Sorry, can’t help.
I’m assembling a turntable table. Go go gadget hex wrench!
just one MOAR, plus microphone and Beck will magically appear!
Where it’s at
Evening. I’ll watch enough of this to at least finish the Tipperary I made for myself, no promises that I stick around after that.
I wonder if fans of swing state teams such as the Vikes, Lions, Steelers, and Eagles realizes that Trump will try to deport some of their team staff and players?
fans…. realize
You have way too much faith there
Updated my calculation of the Pennsylvania early vote, and Kamala Harris now has a nominal lead of 399,661 votes assuming total partisanship and an even split of independents. That puts her over the original “firewall” target of 390k.
I’m waiting, because I want to be the deciding vote on Election Day.
I mean, we’re all the deciding vote on election day.
Also, I’m not convinced there’s a not gonna be a terrorist attack on election. day, I say you’re better off voting early
Maybe you’ll get lucky and Space Karen will be waiting to hand you a million bucks just outside the polling place.
He already stopped doing that after he got a letter from the DOJ. I think it would be funny as shit if the people he already paid had to give the money back.
Would be funnier if he got jail time
(or deported)
To space
Nationalize SpaceX and make NASA worth a fuck again.
Nationalize Twitter and fucking kill it.
I don’t agree with some of your rants, but this I can wholly endorse.
He didn’t verify that anyone was a Trump voter, I know a few Harris voters who claimed some free money. Better with them than the muskrat
I don’t doubt some Harris voters were able to claim the $100. But the selection of the $1M winners was about as “random” of a process as the time that Hunter Renfrow rolled a G&G character with all 18’s for attributes.
Did he roll the 20 sided for the percent over?
Given they is only 0.5 games back of the Tomsulas, the “open for trading” seems like McVay mind games.
One presumes the city of Los Angeles shut down at noon so the peoples may all RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAM IT!! to the fullest?
I’ve been RAMMMMMMMMMMMING it all day.
yeah!!!!!

If Rams became sellers, they at least better give the Bengals a call about Cupp. They owe us one…championship…(runs off crying)
Maybe Aaron Donald will come out of retirement?
And besides, you already have like two white WRs.
(through tears)…or Kupp for those who can spell. Damn you, Zac Taylor! Couldn’t you have called a screen or draw play?!
(runs off crying like a bitch)
(just now realizing Redshirt has weird fantasies about SE Cupp)
(Googles “SE Cupp”)
Not currently, but give me a few minutes and clicks.
Good Grief. That hits all the right buttons.
Also from probably 15 years ago, but she’s a not-Trump Republican, so maybe she’s exactly for you?
Hopefully the fact that she studied ballet for many years and most likely remains extremely flexible isn’t a deal-breaker for him.
Fantasies about SE Cupp aren’t weird at all. Sexual ones, at least.
Rams front office working on trades, artistic re-creation:
They ain’t gonna shop him to the Niners, Bengalis are AFC so don’t see why not
Before Ayo gets here, there will be no releasing of the Kraken tonight. Ice Bombers for the win.
I’m playing against him in 2 different FFL leagues this week, so he is my mortal enemy.
Go Winnapegging!
