Jibbly poop! Was it ever hard putting together a fantasy lineup this week. With the Lions, Raiders, Rams, Cards, Seahawks and Jags off I was mauling the waiver wire like the unforward-looking guy that I am.
Flotsam and Jetsam:
-I had a great time listening to the Dan Le Batard Show today. The host, only having the slightest info regarding the arrests of Billups and Rozier (poker, Mafia, inside info) stated that it was stupid of Billups to sit down at a table with Mafia figures and play cards. That’s why he’d be indicted by the FBI? He was friendly with the likes of Tony “Hot Provolone” De Luca and Romeo “Fat Toe” Esposito and that was why he was arrested? Turns out it was a touch more involved than that.
-There was talk that QB Daniels would give it a go this weekend but the kibosh has been put on that. I’m guessing visions of RG3 were dancing in the head of some decision-maker. Lucky, that.
-Sean Payton and Russell Wilson ended up playing nice after jabbing one another earlier. Sources say they’re going to go out and split a nothingburger after the season ends.
-In a rare example of common sense ruling the roost at Raiders headquarters, the talk is that they’re not going to trade Maxx Crosby. I guess someone figured out that they’d probably just blow the low picks at the end of some early rounds that they would receive after trading him to a contender.
To The Game!
Vikes/Chargers:
-I thought that the Chargers would be a little further along in their development at this juncture. They started out strong with three straight wins (in the division, which will serve them well down the line) but have sputtered, losing three of their last four. A bit hard to trust them this evening.
-Aaron Jones is back after a multi-week sabbatical due to a hammy stretcher.
-Both teams are coming off a loss.
-Keenan Allen loves this opponent-in 5 of 6 games against Minny he’s had 8 or more receptions.
-Third down conversions will be a key for the Chargers because they convert at a clip of 46% and the Vikes only allow a 30% success rate during that down.
-Minny has 2 or more sacks in 10 straight games now.
do it.
WHEW, at least I subbed out the SKOL D/ST before I went to snoozies. And good on JJ for managing a near-cromulent perfeormance, under the circumstances, I guess.
In lieu of reviewing the new procedures and policies of a new protocol, I decided to do some quick research into the Ottawa REDBLACKS. In their first five years of their existence, they made the playoffs four times, advanced to three Grey Cups in 2015-16, and 2018. The team won their first (and currently, only) Grey Cup in 2016.
A Grey Cup championship, and two other appearances in their first six seasons is outstanding. However, since 2019, their combined record is… 23-62-1, no playoffs (shocker!), and last place in the CFL East Division every year.
THIS UPCOMING WORLD SERIES I CALL IT THE BEGINNING OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC BECAUSE AFTER THE INITIAL REPORTS OF AN ASIAN GUY HAVING A LIVE BAT PEOPLE STARTED GETTING A LITTLE NERVOUS.
It was a journey, but I enjoyed it.

Tonight I made an unnecessary mistake, hoping it would become a yooge error. Christ, socializing is dicey.
Grabbing the mayor by the balls is usually not an acceptable greeting.
Maybe where you live…
Ahh, The Mysteries of Pittsburgh indeed.
THIS GAME I CALL IT LEPROSY BECAUSE ALL SKIN I HAD WAS BAD AND INFECTIOUS
I won $80 but I got greedy and put $50 on Herbert pitching a four-bagger to win $110. It was leprosily stupid.
Well, at the very least we got to watch Carson Wetnz repeatedly get the stuffing knocked out of him.
So, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNYQKkYwh7E
Wentz is gonna have a Tua backache if they leave him in
At this point, I think Wentz is being held together by his football pads and scar tissue.
I guess Gore Vidal could also be a nickname, but maybe a bit too literary for footy
Depends whether Kimani is bitchy
“Frank Gore Vidal Sassoon” would be quite the FF team name, I suppose…
Makes me think of Gore vs Buckley aka Frank vs Terrell.
They overlapped for a year…, it’s a reach for a joke but I stand by it
Writes “game over” in notebook
Are you pouring an Allagash White that you won’t finish because woo that’s strong
Hit both my parlays! Huzzah!
Put in Brosmer!
Dakota Jesus with another pick.
Come on Wentzy give me that sweet pickerception.
And there it is.
100 Canadian dollars! So like 30 bucks you guys money.
That’ll buy so many Big Turks.
I will eat them all ASK ANYONE
Never a doubt!
YOU’RE BUYIN.
Congrats, that’s a nice parlay.
I will bring MOAR Cheezies next year!
