Subsequent GTD reflections

Hello there fellow DFO’er.  Hope you’re well today.  And thanks for coming back to see last weeks comments of the week as decided by my brain.  There’s no reason as to why some comments make it and others don’t. Seriously. There isn’t.

This weeks cheesy motivational quote is:
Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls. The most massive characters are seared with scars [in bed].
Khalil Gibran

this is just a long way of saying you can’t stay in be forever or you’ll get bedsores.

As a reminder, Sunday comments stand alone and Monday comments will go on the next week’s post.

Note that during the offseason, I’ll probably look at the Sunday posts.

Without further ado, here are the comments of the week.

Tennessee just released the blueprint for beating the Calfless Joe Burrow-led Bengals: Press the receivers, Strong Zone on Intermediate Routes, Send Everyone Not On Pass Defense to the ballcarrier.

Burrow can’t throw deep, so the defense can play closer to the line of scrimmage and defend the Line to Gain. He still has the accuracy so you can’t Jailbreak Blitz every play, but he doesn’t have the mobility to extend the play, and he can’t pick up 5-10 yards if the defense leaves an empty space in the middle of the field committing to the pass rush or routes.

Its not a lack of ability or panicking. You can see Burrow trying to do what he always does; he just can’t do it right now. The sooner the Bengals can figure out, the better chance they’ll have to salvage the season and maybe have a more-mobile Burrow available in December.

The AFC North is going to be a gauntlet. Browns are averagely-average. Steelers are still trying to figure it out. Ravens are the only team with a chance to run away with the division, but not quite there yet.

11 wins may be enough. McCarron may get you there. Perhaps even Browning with this offense. But not Burrow. Not at the moment.

I very much enjoyed the first bit of real football I was able to watch this season!
The Bearsenscheisse continued, I met a few nice Bills fans and one horrible Bills fan who I wish I could have punched in the face. In addition to stealing my seat, she also kept loudly complaining that Red Zone wasn’t only showing the Bills game at the end of the early game window when there were multiple close games.
The seat stealing thing actually kind of worked out for me though, since some very nice Vikings fans offered me a seat with them. The NFC North really is the friendliest division, we talked about Birdmurderdome, Urlachers new career selling baldness cures, and how funny it is that the Bears are building a bigger stadium when they can’t actually fill Soldier except for Packers games, so they’re basically just making room for more Cheeseheads.

The Commies might actually be a pretty good team next year, if they’re able to overcome the Snyderstench and retain players. The offense held up to the Iggles far better than expected, and if the game wasn’t such a ‘learning moment’ for their rookie CB the defense would have been pretty damn effective.

Regression to the mean is absolutely breaking a lot of Patriots fans lately. It’s kinda funny watching people calling for Belichick to get fired, and for the Krafts to sell the team. Forgetting what the past 20 seasons had. I’m going to the Saints game on sunday. It should be interesting to say the least.

The Dr. Mrs. and I had a disagreement this morning while walking the dog because a tree started falling down in slow motion (you could hear it cracking and everything) and I wanted to stand at a safe distance and watch, while she wanted to ignore it and go home. She was clearly in the wrong, cause how often do you actually get to watch a tree fall down?

So my neighbor with the cows is at it again. Now that the State, in all of it’s infinite tyranny, has repressed is ability to allow everyone else in the neighborhood to take care of his cows, (for free), he is turning his attention to trying to expand a gravel pit operation he’s been running off and on on his property. The problem he has is that he’s mined everything he can right up to the buffer that was imposed back in ’95, even before I got here. So per the notice I just got today he now wants to push well past that boundary, (still his land), bit confined to the side that comes closest to our property.

Clearly doing this in retaliation. Not going to lie, I kind of admire that sort of vindictiveness.
Horatio Cornblower

HA! I just totally misread that map. He’s way over on the other side of his property. Where he’ll be (literally) undermining his son’s ability to sell the house next door.

This is why I took today off from work.

Wear Your Helmet Folks: Otherwise your parents might get a phone call at midnight on Monday night from the hospital asking you to wander down and see your kid’s face/head covered in blood. He’s out of the woods (literally and figuratively) now but he’s got as souvenirs:

14 staples in his head
a concussion
a skull fracture
two separate brain bleeds
/third time in six years he’s ended up at the hospital in a scary situation. Fuck.

Oh man, sure glad he’s (kinda) okay. That’s terrifying.

He woke up this morning and told us, “I don’t want anyone to know what happened to me unless I tell them.”

Meanwhile, I’m faced here with a dilemma… I can either see why the grandparents (that disowned me for me not helping out my fuckup cousins with money an’ a “good word with my bosses… and a place to stay for free for a couple of months” ) are trying to call me repeatedly. Or I can order room service and play some Starfield (while listening to some college football I know fuck all about). Decisions, decisions… Also, wtf is malort?

Currently cut off from the developed world glamping with Wifey for her birthday. Her natural habitat is the boutiques. In our 41 years married we have never camped, I knew better. This is jagged edge for her. Thank God she has a fuckin painting class at 5. And double thank God the pool is still open for me. I could use thoughts and prayers.

Men, OH, MEN! Has is been a whirlwind of a fitbawl weekend at Fortress LemonJello!

A quick-ish recap:

Thursday – Lady LemonJello (survivor of colon cancer, 8yrs clear and counting) got free tickets/parking to Commies vs Bearsenschiesse as part of the NFL’s Crucial Catch promotion. This got us down on the field at halftime, which honestly, was pretty amazing. Unfortunately, this meant we missed all of the 2nd quarter and a good chunk of the 3rd. We actually stayed to the end to watch the group orgasm of the Bears faithful as their club was victorious. And to avoid traffic, which the Commies fans helped by bailing on their team early.
Both of us had taken Friday off, so we weren’t in that much of a hurry.

Fun Fact: here are the jerseys I saw in and around FedEx that WERE NOT playing in that venue: Atlanta, Carolina, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Jacksonville, Miami, Cincinnati, Los Angeles (Chargers), Dallas, Indianapolis, Las Vegas.

Friday – yardwork.

Saturday – it was Homecoming weekend for TangerineJello so we spent the day with her at Shenandoah, watched a play she worked on sets and props for (Into The Woods) and then got to watch Shenandoah lose to Bridgewater, in a game I would describe as on par with high school football.

Sunday – up and ready for DUUUUUVVAAAALLLLLLL!!!! I may have scared the dog yelling at the team and opening questioning how much Buffalo ball washing Rich Eisen and Kurt Warner would perform live on-air.

All in all, not a bad long weekend.

It’s nice to be here for a football day for once, even if it’s because of the absolute worst reasons. (Senorita Weaselo and I were on our way to go play a concert when we got hit by a driver making a left to try and get on the highway. Also, it was her birthday, so thank goodness it wasn’t worse or on her side, because I didn’t need her joining the 27 Club the day she turned it!)

Physically I think we’re okay, but mentally I’m absolutely shot, and I’m worried about my poor car who’s been through a lot the last year and a half and scared that this finished him off.
