A Monday Night Doubleheader!: So Much Manna

I don’t understand the reasoning why we’re blessed in this fashion but I’ll take it. By the by, we don’t get one next week but have some more staggered action in weeks 6 and 7 AND THEN…no more the rest of the way. Where’s the logic?

Fallout:

-He played, hoping his toe was in remission but no luck for Purdy. The Niners loss to Jax doesn’t make much sense outside the 4 turnovers the Jags forced. That’s not sustainable but they’re 3-1 with some unexpected wins in their bag and you never know how that can affect a team.

-Dublin Calling!: “I Live By The Liffey!” It wasn’t very good but it’s good to know that peer pressure still works, as most of the clubhouse showed up. We’re doing it all over again next week, monkeys.

-At a +40 point differential the Colts trail only Detroit and Buffalo. That’s heady company. It could have been more, hell they could be 4-0 but Adonai Mitchell. His teammates consoled him as though he made a mental error when he lost the touchdown. That’s just a dumb fuckup and as a team mate I’d be livid if he took points off the board because he was a dickbag-and I’d expect the same treatment if I did the same. I sound old.

-I guess the Bears offense is a work in progress but they’ll never get to the next level with D’Andre Swift as their primary rb. Yesterday featured a 2.7 avg on 14 carries for a dude that is on his third team in six years. His rushing totals so far-35, 33, 63 and 53. I feel like they’re 2-2 despite him. They give off a 6-11 vibe to me.

-Don’t look for the Ravens D to turn around any time soon. It’s confirmed that de Nnamdi Madubuike, who hasn’t played in the last two games, is done for the year. If you couple that with All Pro lb Roquan Smith sitting for a few weeks with a hammy, things don’t look good.

To The Games!

Jets/Fins:

-At least it’s a divisional tussle?

-this is a unique tilt in that both teams think it’s a “Get Well” game, a time to turn things around. I don’t want to seem overly dramatic but the season is over for the loser.

-Not sure if Tawmmy can handle this but I think the Pats are going to get a wild card berth because these guys suck so much and the Ravens are compromised.

-I’d list the spread but only the most degenerate would bet this disaster.

Bengals/Broncos:

-Cincy’s a team forever twirling sideways because there’s nothing in the center to pull it back.

-The Broncos 4th-quarter drives in their losses haven’t been pretty-a missed indoor 42-yard field goal, some three-and-outs, an INT-I trust that Payton will eventually get these fixed because they can’t fall to Vegas’ 1-3 level.

-Browning showed out the last time he filled in but as is the way with backup qb’s-they are an inconsistent bunch. He’s tossed 5 INT’s in the seven quarters he’s played this year.

-Not to crap on him some more but Jake threw all of two times to Higgins last week. Mike Brown didn’t pull 10 million extra dollars out of his tighty whiteys to sign Tee for this to happen.

It’s all you.

Past me sets a brutal schedule for current and future me. Flight back to SFO boards in 13 minutes

WCS

Just took another call for a house also within easy walking distance of my parents’ residence, just in the opposite direction.

Doktor Zymm

Imagine the magic if he were on a mid team with a great line like the Seahawks or Vikings

Doktor Zymm

Every single Bengals fan I met tonight is as fatalistic as Redshirt. I kinda want to give the collective fanbase a hug and make y’all cocoa

Redshirt

We didn’t expect to win but we didn’t expect that. We didn’t even shit the bed or lay an egg, as either of those require a degree of effort.

Doktor Zymm

First drive was really quite cromulent

Doktor Zymm

Man, I am out of condition. Less than 2 miles walk back and I’m all like oooh, my feets hurt. Smgh

Horatio Cornblower

OK, time to catch up on Task and Peacemaker. And possibly Ethan Hawke’s new show, Lowdown or something like that. First episode was pretty good, but I may be biased because my dream is to become a drunken ne’er-do-well who runs a used bookstore.

WCS

You’ve got the first part down just fine.

Col. Duke LaCross

Peacemaker has been kind of a slow burn, but it’s kicking into high gear for the last couple episodes. Still need to get to Task.

Horatio Black’s Books!

WCS

Got an Adrian Peterson fan: mom currently detained after her daughter called to report mom of the year has been hitting her with a metal rod and belt.

Horatio Cornblower

Has an upstanding member of Gen X the belt doesn’t even make me blink, but what in the fuck is a kid doing to justify breaking out the metal rod?

Doktor Zymm

Complete this sentence: Jesus saves

Doktor Zymm

You 12% at Temu.ca!

Jimbo

His money cus he might be deported.

WCS

martyrs like Charlie Kirk and Ashlii Babbit for BEENG PATROITS

SonOfSpam

but Gretzky gets the rebound and scores!

Horatio Cornblower

but Gretzky scores on the rebound!!

Horatio Cornblower

Well I guess I’ll just go Blair Witch myself.

BeefReeferLives

, but Moses invests!

McDonald’s Monopoly game pieces

Sharkbait

Esposito scores on the rebound

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Man, you know you’re having a rough night when the Jets precede you with a decisive loss to the 0-3 Dolphins and your game is described as the laugher.

Redshirt

What the record for shortest tenure as Defensive Coordinator?

Horatio Cornblower

Dobbins is at 101 yards, definitely time to take him out and let the second-string guys get a chance.

King Hippo

YOU ARE TEH CHOSEN ONE!!!

WCS

Holy hell, they took this old woman in the house behind my parents’ to the hospital. Spam may be correct: who wants a pet chicken?

Got Dobbins his C-note!

Detroit@Cincinnati will be worth watching next week just to hear the fan reaction. We are not happy.

Horatio Cornblower

I’m playing Brick in hot Lowratio League FF action. I have a 9.5 point lead. He has JK Dobbins.

THE EXCITEMENT IS PALPABLE and literally the only reason to keep watching this game.

Doktor Zymm

This has been a great gameday experience, legit recommend for the home, neutral, or visiting fan

Jimbo

Wait is Springsteen ded?

Gumbygirl

Nope, they made a movie about him.

King Hippo

and then he died.

/eventually I’ll be RITE

Horatio Cornblower

No, but given the cashing out he’s been doing lately he’s clearly got estate planning on his mind.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

“Chat GPT, how do I fuck a girl?”

Redshirt

“Chat GPT, how do I coach a professional football team?”

SonOfSpam

“Based on those two questions, nice to meet you Urban Meyer.”

Jimbo

Would have also accepted Bobby Petrino.

Horatio Cornblower

/Ed Orgeron has entered the chat

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

No you’re thinking “how do I drive a motorcycle?”

Horatio Cornblower

“Tell her you’ll pick her up at a sketchy bar at 8:00 pm, then don’t show up”

Redshirt

JaMarr Chase is not happy.

WCS

**Not** me call, but, there’s one in for an elderly woman doing the proverbial, “fallen and can’t back up” situation. This is the house directly behind my parents’. Huh.
This may be the home with the chicken coop in the backyard.

SonOfSpam

Sounds like your parents are about to score some free eggs!

Redshirt

Welcome to Cincinnati, Jameis. Hell at this point, I’d be open to Russell Wilson.

Senor Weaselo

The best thing about that octopus is that I can be upset in multiple ways about it clinching a fantasy loss! (Well played, Gumbygirl.)

Gumbygirl

I was sure I was going to lose to you, Miami’s defense was killing it for awhile!

SonOfSpam

She drafted a good team.

Gumbygirl

I’m having a fire sale tomorrow. Malik’s ded, and my running backs should be.

Horatio Cornblower

They just showed Red Rocks, which reminded me of how cool the venue was where we saw Reckless Kelly last night.

comment image

Infinity Music Hall in Norfolk, (a/k/a West Bumfuck), CT. Apparently built in 1883. Like going to see a band at your kid’s elementary school assembly hall, but with fantastic acoustics and just a great atmosphere. And they’ll sell you alcohol, unlike your kid’s spoilsport school.

SonOfSpam

Looks cool, but it seems finite. Flagrant false advertising.

And the Family Circus guy is a photog now? “Not me!” lol how adorable

Horatio Cornblower

I just noticed the name. Pretty sure Bill is dead and is kids are continuing the franchise.

Not sure Bil would appreciate the direction they’re taking the strip, though…

SonOfSpam

Need more comic strip/Cenobite crossover.

Horatio Cornblower

The amount of Dennis the Menace/Family Circus porn I had to sift through to get this was truly disturbing.

Horatio Cornblower

One of the great things about working at home and being generally well thought of at work is that when you, hypothetically of course, have nothing on your schedule until 2:30 in the afternoon, you could, again strictly hypothetically, right about now decide that popcorn is a good idea, and what better to wash it down with than another beer?

Hypothetically, of course.

SonOfSpam

Well, shit, can’t let you drink alone. This is beer #1 for me, but it is the first in a series.

WCS

Very nice of you. I’ll have some Diet Wally World cola in solidarity.

SonOfSpam

Just have whatever your new QB endorses.

Certainly not family time.

Hang in there, WCS; there’s a case of Dr. Pepper headed to Allegheny 911* thanks to all the time I wasted today listening to idiot call in to report an accident in a case I’m working.

How you people don’t just start screaming at these morons is beyond me.

*not really, I don’t know the address

WCS

Just write “WCS” with “Yinzer County 9-1-1” on the shipping label. They’ll know where it should go.

Horatio Cornblower

Probably CBS, given all their 911 spin-offs.

WCS

That’s FOX.

For half a second I thought that lateral play had a shot, but then Jets.

King Hippo

One of these days, a team will at least get a facemask call and extra play out of it.

WCS

Don’t know what I walked into, but one the shift commanders/lieutenants is livid about… something. She’s on the warpath right now. It wasn’t anything I did; I haven’t been here long enough to do anything dumb or questionable. Yet.

I’ma just stay seated, listen to Yinzer inanity, and keep plowing till 06:00, which is also when me weekend begins.

“She”? What in the DEI hell is going on there???

Horatio Cornblower

Just say “Calm your tits, Lieutenant.” They can sense fear, and they’ll respect you for not showing any.

Doktor Zymm

These horsies love their stomping! Kinda rude when actual horses do it tho

King Hippo

Sean Payton be like “run the bellcow with a 3-score lead at home? TOO MAINSTREAM.”

Doktor Zymm

63 reports as eligible? Run play, he’s their extra blocker

WCS

Be soooooo much better if he ran a 40-yard out route.

King Hippo

Timeout?? That’s not how to Just End The Suffering

Redshirt

Thank God my Dad isn’t alive to see this.

King Hippo

Always a silver lining if a fella just LOOKS!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I’m more grateful that Charlie Kirk isn’t alive to see this.

Horatio Cornblower

-snif-I’m just so happy Rush Limbaugh isn’t around to see this-sniff-or anything else-sniff-

Gumbygirl

I know what you mean. Gumby had the very good sense to check out on election day.

Horatio Cornblower

Smarter than the rest of us.

This could save McDaniels job for a couple weeks. Until Tua inevitably gets his bell rung.

Wakezilla

All this has taught me is that the Dolphins are not a bottom 5 team. They’re more like a bottom 6-10 team

Horatio Cornblower

WE’RE #6!! WE’RE #6!!

WCS

 Until Tua inevitably gets his bell rung.

Back injury

Doktor Zymm

These puppies suck at racing!

WCS

Possible dislocated kneecap for Tyreek. That reads painful.

Downfield Matriculator

Luckily, he has family members who can explain how best to deal with that

Horatio Cornblower

God, I hope they take every opportunity to kick his crutches out from under him.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Takes off hat…

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Aw…

Doktor Zymm

I got extremely drunk Broncos fan on my right, and sober, embarrassed Jets fans on my left and Bengals fans aft and fore. It is SO MUCH FUN!

Romonobyl

Are you at a bar or did you accidentally leave your front door unlocked?

Don T

Dude, great to see ya! Hope you and the fam are well.

Doktor Zymm

“look at that moth! Living his best life”
“see #17 there who just got that big play? He used to be on the Jets”

Redshirt

Sympathy Call or Make Up Call?

Downfield Matriculator

Even without that weak sauce OPI call, the Jets are approaching Raiders-level BLEERGH worship. Infinite Jets

SonOfSpam

just for the lulz?

Horatio Cornblower

The cat will wake me up at 5:30-6:30. I will get up, let him out, then go right back to bed.

I give you permission to do the same.

Wakezilla

God damnit, McD! Run the fucking ball!

Wakezilla

How’s it going, folks!? How bout them Dolphins!?!

Waller is looking like he’s finally over Kelsey Plum. Ty Hill must be heart broken that he hurt his child beating planter leg

Gatoraids

OH GAWD YES

Zac Taylor looks like that sports dad that thinks he could be a better coach, but never volunteers to help

BugEyedBoo

I read that the details of his irrational hate was that his girlfriend of 10 years ago dropped him for Jesus, and he blamed LDS.

Horatio Cornblower

Who among us?

I mean, besides me and literally everyone I know.

King Hippo

Yeah, a few BLEERGH breaks plus lots of good run blocking is papering over some…issues
