Staying up for the second tilt is not mandatory, by the way. We’re reasonable people that might just have to half-ass it tomorrow morning at work.
This one will be short and sweet because I’m under the weather.
Fallout:
-As with all things these days the story of Doug Martin’s passing, once details come out, gets all kinds of messy. There’s not much to go on but a break-in, a scuffle and a death in police custody are the variables.
-The next time someone tells you that college kids are making too much money and that it’s a strain on the Athletic Department and boosters/alumni you could perhaps point out that 10 football guys (Dilfer, Napier, Franklin and Gundy among them) have lost their battle with employment so far and are walking away with a collective 160 million. Schools offer these outrageous contracts and that’s all well and good but the kids are too greedy is a silly stance to take.
-Tua took a great amount of heat last week regarding players not showing up to meetings and then walked it back on Wednesday. How did he respond yesterday? With three more INT’s yesterday (his two week total is six) and his play so poor he got pulled.
To The Games!
Bucs/Lions:
-Detroit hasn’t lost back-to-back games since October 30, 2022.
-They’re a 6.5 dog at home.
-Evans and Egbuka look ready to go and that’s why Tez Johnson will vulture another score.
Texans/Seahawks:
-Houston has the best scoring D at 12 points a game-everyone knew about the d-line but the secondary has pulled up it’s bootstraps.
-So far this season Darnold has a 71% completion rate going which is 10 points higher than his career average.
-Who would have thunk that one of the most potent QB-WR tandems would be Sam and JSN?
Do your thing.

How did he get to the store to begin with?
The Kupp INT won me the Freezer Vodka League game.
Sorry Scotchy.
(yes, I’m VERY aware some rando score correction could fuck me tomorrow)

That was pretty cromulent, Mr. Stroud.
Also, my work computer doesn’t try to autocorrect “cromulent” any longer. Couple this with my phone recognizing “HARF” as a word, and tell me AI isn’t getting SMRTR…
WHY IS THIS GAME NOT PUT AWAY
FUCK
I think that was a dumb 4th down decision?
We’ll see if JG9 makes a Dumb Decisions video!
The poor guy I just got off the phone with brain may be leaking out of his nose and ears…
iPhone Watch fall detection might have actually done something useful for a change. Dude clearly had an issue… he did manage to get out he fell, he’s in the upstairs bedroom, and the building he’s in.
When iPhones impact detection are triggered, it gives an automated message giving the coordinates and some other useless information. It repeats this message indefinitely until the phone’s owner turns it off. This man was in no condition to operate a plastic spork, let alone a semi-advanced piece of technology.
I literally spent the next 20 minutes listening to the iWatch repeat it’s message, and this unfortunate dude, clearly concussed and not at all aware of the situation around him. When he would respond to a question of mine, he’d either repeat his address or say his name.
Naturally, EMS takes 13 minutes trying to find him. Guh.
He’s about to experience the very worst hangover he will ever have, and it’s probably going to linger for a week.
UPDATE: Dropped off at the same hospital the ex-wifey works at. She’s an OBGYN. Judging by how this guy sounded, he’s going to tell the first doctor and/or nurse he sees he’s about to give birth to a baby girl.
How is Tua doing?
Damn, that sounds stressful. Do whatever you gotta do to stay sane
There is a mouse chewing the hell out of the inside of our walls. My cat sleeps soundly in the next room, not the least ashamed of himself.
He’s getting pissed that you haven’t dealt with the rodent problem in his house yet.

I really like my window spider
That’s pretty!
This is absolutely awful commentary. Even for the NFL this is a pile of shit. I’m grading papers so I can only listen, and I can honestly say I feel as though I am being punished. This crew is so fucking stupid its offensive.
Did you know that running backs sure can run?
Why can’t we have the option of silence? Just the sounds of the stadium. The PA guy in the stadium tells you everything you need to know, and we’d hear that. The camera crews are so good at this point they can tell the story from the van. And we’ve all seen a million billion fucking football games so we don’t need anyone, least of all these assholes, telling us about football. Let’s be honest; if you’re watching a game in a bar and someone sits down next to you and starts talking the way every NFL broadcaster does, you’re getting up and walking away.
Can you get a radio feed? They still seem to be quite good

I used to kind of like Chris Fowler. I smoke a lot of weed though.
There’s a lot of guys I like except when they’re doing play-by-play! Charlie Steiner, Rich Eisen.

Safety? No! Touched down!
Bold move calling run plays that don’t involve any run blocking!
A Coach McDaniel special
That’s “Currently Still Employed by the Miami Dolphins” Coach McDaniel, thank you very much.
Did they really pull Seattle’s pitcher after 4 innings with 1 run and 65 pitchers? Was the Manager under the mistaken impression that the ALCS a Best of 9 series?
They did indeed. Could not believe my eyes. In the third inning you couldn’t hit his slider with a boat oar.
Yep. it was then that I knew they were done.
They apparently learned nothing from the Dodgers letting Yamamoto throw a complete game for the win. Gotta get your starter out these days before the other team can see him three times, that’s what the nerds say. Never mind, like Fronk said, that the Jays couldn’t hit water if they fell out of a boat against the starter.
It cracks me up when managers in a win or go home situation decide they need to rest the arm of a pitcher playing well and showing no signs of fatigue. At least he can rest up for the next 6 months. lol
MacDonald is gonna coach the Seahawks right into a loss, isn’t he?
Well, that wasn’t a coaching error at least?
I’m tempted to change my name to Redcoat because I just became a Tory and started supporting the former British colony of Canada. Go Blue Jays! Avenge us!!!!!
Would downvote but nah, you do you red guy.
Whelp, thanks for a funner season than usual, Mariners.
Its the hope that suckers you in. Still more fun than usual.
It really was. Instead of the usual late season collapse, they had a post season collapse.
So I really can’t complain.
Oh, yeah, yes I can. A lot.
Year of the Block continues!
What happened to Stroud, he stopped being cromulent.
The lack of an o-line and the destruction of Tank Dell is my theory
…ah, like Andy Dalton fell down to Earth when he lost Sanu and Jones, so the defense could easily tarrying AJ Green like Heath Ledger in The Patriot?
I just picked up a FF point because my opponent has Kupp and Kupp just threw an INT.
I did not have that on my list of possibilities.
It’s the Lamar Drake Series. Go Doyers!
vlad brought a leafs jersey to a game 7 and survived
jays in 6
I guess it can actually be called “World” Series now, since it’s officially ¡internationale!
Es verdad.
Well this is a fucking Sophie’s Choice of a matchup.
If ever there were a ‘Meteor Series’…
Still no World Series, chasing a breaking ball, five feet from the plate.
Dude, sincere condolences to the Seattle Squad here.
I was going to comment “there’s no way Rodriguez doesn’t strike out flailing at Ball 4 here” but I just didn’t want to be right.
I hope the Dodgers humiliate these assholes, and I do not like the Dodgers.
considering how things have been going, the 250th birthday of the usa being celebrated while the defending champion of our national pastime being canadian would seriously track
True, but the Dodgers will win in large part due to the efforts of three Japanese players, (one of whom would have been banned for gambling if he weren’t so goddamn amazing at baseball), (allegedly), so there’s that.
“how will dave roberts fuck this up” will be put to its biggest test ever
The Jays are a likeable team. They will beat the evil Dodgers and it will humiliate Trump
“Hey, this guy’s hitting .111 on the post-season and we benched him tonight. Welp, down 4-3 with 1 out in the 9th and the season on the line it seems like it’s his time to shine!!”
Oh wow, he struck out, no way.
/strikes out
dunking the goalposts being a 15-yard penalty is karen-ization to the extreme
Everything you can do to celebrate a TD but dunking over the crossbar is a penalty. Get the fuck outta here.
I guess he could unlevel the crossbar, but that’s still idiotic
“… I don’t know if that’s driving him into the ground…” As video shows the defensive player indeed driving Darnold into the ground.
Who is this fucking idiot?
Urge to drink Rainier is rising
Darn, and here I was all ready to make fun of the lions for letting yet another north American franchise make a championship game before they did.
Been reading the Vish Puri mystery series. Took me a bit to get into the first book but really enjoying now
Oh no!
the mariners fan in my timeline about an hour ago said “3 is not enough”
true.
Of course it’s that asshole Springer.
Wonder if he knew what pitch was coming like he used to do with the Astros.
I’ve seen a few pitches of baseball now, first time since 2020. I’d still much rather watch SEA/HOU chucklefuck around. Or just go to sleep.
You’re gonna watch the World Based Ball Classic yes? You fan root for Dominicana 🔪
Loving the Mariners’ nicotine patch uni
I’m not supporting the Bucs, but maybe they should protect Baker.
Isn’t protection being optional the whole point of getting a QB that used to play on the Browns?
Goooo Mariners! 🔱
Hope this game is Rocking!!! ⚾️
Even without adding another game giving teams a second bye week and making the season a week longer is not a horrible idea
I’d be ok with that.
For the Canadian Contingent: what is “THE KEG”? Is it a chain of bars?
It’s an East coast Steakhouse that has gone national. It has mid to upscale pricing. It’s not bad. Albertans typically scoff at it.
They’ve got some decent drinks
BEEFKEG!
Found a funny:
On this date in 1977, a plane crash took the lives of several members of Lynyrd Skynyrd. To commemorate that event, today the first 100 guests get a free bird.
A $3.00 value!
Ok, it was pretty fun to watch the LioUns defensing right there
They gave me the points I needed to win my game against King Hippo. Unless Seattle’s kicker shits the bed to the tune of -15 points. Seems unlikely, but you never know!
My fantasy week died with Mike Evans, le sigh

How it started. How it’s going.
Mariners up 3-1, starting pitcher Kirby mowing the Blue Jays down, but naturally the manager yanks the starting pitcher in the 5th because the analytics say it’s the thing to do.
New pitcher promptly walks the 9th hitter.
Congratulations, Seattle, you got close.
Doinked it in!
