If I go off the rails here I blame this Benylin/whiskey cocktail. I call it The Abyss. Two can play this game, Sharky!
Unless the Mara’s screw this up on a monumental scale, John Harbaugh is the next coach of the NEW YORK FOOTBALL GIANTS.
Just so you know, I don’t do the Twitter or Bluesky but crap leaks thru so the following is a combo of standalone observations and rebuttals to stuff I’ve seen.
-Finally, a winner instead of winging it with an unknown quantity. (Shurmur excepted) After the hiring of Judge, McAdoo and Daboll I always tried to hit the brakes and realize that I wasn’t in the interview room so I know so very little compared to those that did the hiring, what their criteria was, etc. I was generally hopeful that Joe Judge was a keeper despite being a Special Teams guy. (his teams were special, that’s for sure)
-I recall Daboll’s early success and DonT saying that he didn’t have any respect for him because he screamed at his players, demeaning them. I thought Daboll was ‘vocal’ in holding players to account and going to lay off in his 2nd year. Nope. DonT was right-the guy was just a dumbass that belittled his guys.
-Look, Harbaugh wins, he wins a lot and is accustomed to doing so. The Giants haven’t had that aura around the franchise since Coughlin left for Sunnyvale Acres.
-“But he’s probably bringing in Todd Monken as OC-the guy that everyone said should be fired!” Welp, the knock against him was that he wasn’t running Henry enough. Thing is, there’s no Henry as far as the eye can see in the Giants backfield and no one is going to give Sk8boi 25 carries. If you look at the Ravens before he arrived you’ll see split backfields, which is exactly what’s going to happen next season with that Looney Tunes dude and Tyrone Tracy.
-“He choked out in the playoffs!” Playoffs!? Giants fans would be giddy as hell to have that problem. Let’s get there first.
-Sorry in advance, the Giants are going to be in SO MANY featured games next year because the expectation is that they’ll be so much better.
-And why shouldn’t they be? The Eagles defense is awesome but that locker room and the player’s seeming love for melodrama could cause the team to implode next year. The Commies have the oldest team in the league-2024 was a mirage. And the Cowboys? Jerry will undermine the team once again by making it all about him. May he be General Manager in perpetuity.
-There’s enough young talent in key spots to catch some teams by surprise. The skill spots are a dicey but explosive (in good and bad ways) unit, the d-line is very good and there is depth there. PFF has rated the offensive line as a top 10 unit which tells me there’s work to be done with their metrics but for the purposes of my well-being I’m running with it.
-That Pete Carroll Effect: “At 63, the game has passed him by.” Ouch! This is that one niggling concern, that he’s on the downside but my hope is that it’s a “Montana on the Chiefs” situation-there’s just enough left in the tank to make a positive difference.
What’s On Tonight? Tons of sports, get going.

He was great in Eddington. Not so sure about as a coach.

Good evening from the new place! Or I guess good night, it’s after 1 AM here.
Good morrow!
Maple LOLs just gave up 3 straight goals to lose to Vegas, 6-5, in OT.
How do you think that will effect thier chances of winning the cup?

Dodgers sign Kyle Tucker, keep getting away with it.

Yeah? Well, the Angels just got Josh Lowe, who hit like .220 with Tampa last season, so suck on that!
More like Lowe OPS, amirite?

This is going to be disturbingly accurate.

Flyera make it 6-2. 6:00 left in regulation.
Keeping with today’s theme (apparently), just finished a call stating a woman is leaving seven-year-old and 36 dogs living in filth, feces, fuckin’ A…
This is going to make for an interesting scene.
Oh the cps worker gonna love that.
As the caller stated, the woman inside isn’t letting police in. PD reporting there may be in fact, that many dogs inside.

This evening we walked by a hoarder’s house further down our street and the neighbor came out to complain. I’m very sympathetic; I’ve met the people in the house and they are very pleasant but the place is a fucking disaster.
I walk all over my neighborhood. There are 90 buildings, with 16 apartments in each, and I’m confident that a good 10% of them are hoarder situations. It’s so fucking sad.
Those who don’t know me by name here call me the bike guy. They ask many questions and are stunned I keep it going. They also make sure to be in the outside lane at night giving me my own private wide krameresque luxury
6-1!
Connor Dewar scores 90 seconds after Crosby made it 5-1
Yinz can have my share.

Noel Accuri scores late for the Ice Stillers, 4-1 at the end of two periods.

I am not ready for the NEW YORK FOOTBALL GIANTS to be good. At least the NFC East has Jerrah. From what I hear he is crazy.
/addressing WCS’s dog thingy below
99 times out of 100 a dog barking incessantly means they’re in distress. However, sometimes a very stupid canine-let’s call her Molly-will smell deer (a neighbor down the road has set up trail cams, so can confirm) and bark for up to three hours straight. She’ll not chase the deer nor will she come inside even if treats are offered. No, she will bark at the invisible deer because she’s excited.*
*this may be related but we don’t have many friends on our lonely stretch of road because occasionally one of the Skull-fractured offspring will let her out at 11pm. Great…
If my 80+ year old neighbor dares to so much as attempt to get her mail my dog will go off in a fit of rage until she staggers back into her house, where Tucker is convinced she belongs.
Tucker also once tried to go after a coyote while we were walking one night. I had him on a leash, so no dice. I did tell him “Dude, you are wearing a sweater. He’s going to lure you right into a bunch of his friends and they are going to give you such a wedgie, then stuff you in a locker”
It’s cool that you’ve given a nerd dog a good home.
We were at Griffith Park earlier this week and a coyote popped his head up out of the bushes and looked *way* too curiously at my 17 lbs. dachshund mix.
Also, your dog’s name is “Tucker”? That’s kind of awesome.
But it also now means you can never adopt a dog named “Max”.
One of my favourite things about my old dog was that he didn’t give a shit about anything other than sexy lady dogs.
Squirrels, birds, cats, deer – like the didn’t exist. He went devil on a raccoon, though. That was interesting to see.
Hope your dog shuts up soon
Unless it’s a weiner dog. Then 99 out of 100 it just wants to scream like a banshee. But we love her. Yes, we do love her. Yes…love…
Ice Stillers are 209-32-13 when Crosby, Malkin, and Letang all record at least one point each in the same game. Let’s make it 210 tonight, fellas.
The Flyera are an affront to all things holy and sacred.
Could be wrong, but the Giants looked like a team with some talent last year until the season went off the rails. I think John will bring some stability and do well there.
(note: my hunches are usually totally wrong)
Ice Stillers already up on Ice Iggles, 3-0. Pens scored their third just 35 seconds into the second period…
…and Ice Iggles go and make it 3-1.
3-0 lead before halfway through is the worst lead in hawkey…
@Fozzie, check the last thread. I provided a link to a Baltimore Ravens Crown Royal bottle.

Sharp! Also, a Ravens fan is definitely gonna lose an eye.
Yeah, whisky bottles are deadly enough when used as a blunt object.
I remain convinced that was a reference to the aftermath of the original Hail Mary play -and that Skinner’s “real” name of Armin Tamzarian was a reference to the referee who got hit by the bottle – Armen Terzian.
That doesn’t look like a raven. Does it?
Those are cool. Do they have them for all the teams, or just the bird ones?
If you click on the link, at the bottom of the page they have more designs. They didn’t have ALL the teams, but the ones they have are pretty cool.
That is an angry lookin’ horse, in the tradition of Blucifer
In one of the weirder “Wait, What?!” moments I’ve experienced here, a call for a dog being left outside was barking for two hours. For context, it’s a balmy 14 degrees in Yinzburgh at this time. Caller was concerned for the dog because the caller is a somewhat decent person.
Police have been there for two hours now, at least one arrest. Did the caller inadvertently lead to a drug stash house?
Good dog!
Hope the dog’s ok, hope the people rot in hell. (true for many many situations)
If it’s too cold for you, it’s too cold for them.
Wouldn’t surprise me if it wasn’t someone talking themselves into an arrest. Either the wrong word or hundred was said (disorderly conduct) or they placed a hand on an officer (assaulting police).
It’s amazing how people who think they are in the right can be complete assholes to the police. It’s one thing not to like cops (Heaven knows they aren’t helping along), but you don’t need to give them motivation to find a way to put your in jail.
Quite honestly, if I was a cop paying a visit to a house that was maltreating a dog like that, I might just manufacture some charges…
If cops what to shoot unarmed people in the back, (and hoo boy, do they ever), they can focus on people who abuse animals and at best I’ll shrug and say something like “pity, that”
Already making an impact in the NFC East.
That is FUCKING GREAT!
Kellen Moore would probably pay good money to have that picture removed.
63 is still a full decade younger than Grandpa Petey. You’re basically looking at 5-6 years, during which the window hopefully opens for 2 or 3.
