There’s just so much news going on these days and it’s so hard to take all of it in. But then you’re driving into work one day listening to the CBC regional updates (this covers the vast area between Sudbury and Thunder Bay, which is a 13 hour drive) and it includes a story about two hunters that pled guilty to hunting moose out of season. By my calculations this took 10 months to get to court. Better this than what’s going on in Canada’s ballsack I guess.

Flotsam and Jetsam:

-Both Fields and Daniels look ready to go this weekend. These so-called “50-50 situations” that require doctors to weigh in always end up with the player starting, so pencil(?) them into your starting lineups. Or not, in Fields’ case.

-I’m not ready for this “Parsons Returns to Dallas” narrative. It’s too soon-Jerrah’s abject humiliation is still fresh in my mind and I’m still trying to suck the marrow out of it.

-Tinfoil Hat Alert: There’s something ‘off’ about the Texans releasing Chauncey Gardner-Johnson after three games despite the fact that he’s been labeled as a ‘negative locker-room presence’. Something big is going to come of this and [squeaky, questioning voice] maybe it has something to do with giving up a big play at a critical point in each game?

To The Game!

Seahawks/Cards:

-It was noted a while ago but throwing some divisional games out there on Thursday nights makes the outcome salient to the standings. Helluva lot better than something like Jags/Bears in week 10 or some shit.

-Seattle has won 7 straight vs Arizonny. Figures, because their pre-game music before each game against them is “Beat The Brat”.

-Can the Cards do something, anything, to prove that they’re not just another milquetoast (sounds like Flacco’s breakfast) team? Yeah, sure, they surprise you once in a while but they just don’t beat teams on a regular basis when you expect them to.

-To those that thought that Darnold had caught lightning in a bottle, well lightning does strike twice in different…this is a bad analogy. I’ll just point out that his completion % is 70.3 despite the fact that his average completion is 9 yards, a career high.

-That rook wr that no one drafted-Seattle’s Tory Horton- is off to a blazing start with three TD catches so far in his brief career.

-Do you start Trey “On Off-Broadway” Benson tonight despite the fact that he’s never had more than 13 touches in any NFL game in his career?

Give me what you got!
