See how I went all Spanish up in there? It weren’t taught to pasty white boys in the wilds of Ontario in the 80’s, I can tell you that much.
To The Game!
Commies/Fins:
-I’m always curious to read up on how major cities came to be and if they’re not on a coast they’re almost always on a river. It’s all about various peoples trading goods it seems. That river that brought folks together would be the Manzanares which doesn’t rank very high as far as familiarity is concerned.
-Both these squads are sitting at 3-7 and if Miami can get a “home” win here McDaniel will have weathered the storm for yet another week, to everyone’s surprise. Though if he were to be fired on the tarmac at the airport (remember when that happened to Lane Kiffin?) he would have no problem just hitch hiking around the country with his bindle.
-The city didn’t really start feeling it oats until about the 9th or 10 Century, surprisingly-though it is mentioned in the 8th. Various archeological digs have revealed buildings constructed by the Celts, Romans and Visigoths.
-Washington has no QB, wide receivers or secondary so a W here looks unlikely.
-No one can say with any certainty what the etymology of Madrid is. All the guesses revolve around water, with ‘ford’, ‘fountain’ or ‘stream’ being thrown against the wall.
-Good news for Achane owners that saw him rush for 175 yards vs Buffalo (including sprints of 53 and 35 yards) just last week. Washington’s D is ranked 30th overall and the run defense sits at 23rd.
-Despite being the seat of power for Spanish royalty since 1594 it only took another 200 years for Charles The Third to say, “Hey, let’s develop some infrastructure up here, maybe some street lighting, some sewers, maybe a cemetery on the outskirts of our fair town whadda ya say?” So there was plenty of poverty and sickness and disease to that point.
-Is Bobby Wagner’s play ever going to fall off? At the age of 35 he’s second in the league in tackles.
-Famous folks born in Madrid include Placido Domingo, Francisco Umbral (I read one of his books), Jose Ortega y Gassett (philosopher), Julio Iglesias, David De Gea and Juan Gris (a Cubist painter).
Good Morning!
Dolphins best home game since that disaster at The Cove.

¡cambio repentino!

TIEMPO EXTRA
https://youtu.be/ElPPcPcyOOs?si=CIh7oQ_YaE_VFoir
I’m dying to play Jameis vs the Pack. There’s no film on him and Kafka aside from the stuff in the Epstein Files.
He will be incredible or a dumpster fire. No in-between-sies
I DON’T KNOW WHICH OPTION I WANT MORE! [sobs]
Try the 63-yard FG, you putas!
CAÑA‘LOR!
EXTRA TIME
Has McDaniels been fired yet? I see no reason to wait until the end of the game.
“To pay tribute to our wonderful host nation, should this game go to overtime, we will have a shootout that will see both place kicker kick field goals from 50 yards until there is a winner”
Are teams not allowed to kick field goals? Take the three points and the lead late in the game
Agreed. The head coach just all but told his defense “I have no faith in you”.
Miami just reached Peak LOLfins.
Free football?!?
GlorioUs tie?!?
I’m just here so I don’t get fined
Slept in today as I’ve got a man cold
Remembered to check my line up’s today and had 2 guys out.
WEST VIRGINIA!
Tua: (spends ten seconds point off left tackle)
Fans: “I think they’re going to run off lack tackle.”
Commentators: “I think they’re going to run off left tackle.”
Commanders: “OH MY GOD! WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO?!”
Based on information I’ve gathered recently, bras were outlawed in Thailand somewhere around 2018.
Gotta pay extra for that
Zach Oafz
I could use MOAR MariotaPoints here
No points for anybody!
tuff butt FARE
I have been here the whole time.
It’s true! I saw you when I came in!
Hey, we’re not your high school teachers. smh….
“The female lead in this movie could be 22 or 37 years old. These Japanese-adjacent women are sneaky like that!”
-B. Parcells, reviewing “Secrets” (2022)
Bill Parcells is the real trickster here; what with fooling me into doing all this research into this and other Filipino softcore movies.
Ok, back to walking!
-Nawt Greg Abbot.
Think the Dolphins are good because of last week’s win over the Bills? You probably stayed at a Holiday Inn Express!
https://onemileatatime.com/news/holiday-inn-express-carbon-monoxide-disaster/
Yes, a questionable approach.
–Carbon monoxide detectors weren’t required in the rooms since the fuel-burning appliances were in the boiler room, though that seems like a questionable approach.
At least it’s moving along briskly.
I heard that everyone scored in Madrid. smh…
Just got here. WTF are the LOLfins doing? 3 points?
Wait, 6 points. And now Mariota is ded. Fun game.
He’ll be fine, in Espańa Toradol es gratis.
Neither team has 3 points, so you should maybe go back to sleep lol
There’s a 3 in 13 dammit!
And 6 = 2*3, but is still neither 2 nor 3
I’m declaring today a write off. I’m going to eat breakfast and then start drinking post haste.
I’ve heard good things about Post Haste-better than Malort for sure.
Where can one get a bottle?
-litre and zymm
I was told there would be no math.
I’m entertained that we ended up with a bikini pic for a game in the city that is the furthest away from a beach that you can get in Spain
Pretty sure Hippo picked that one for the abundance of shoulders.
Madrid’s Hombres G. Yoooooge in the 80s, answer the question: how to deal, badly, when tour GF is cheating on tou with an Indiana Jones lookalike
https://youtu.be/eJLwj6FohJo?si=1K5CXqPV-JzlL5hH
Were commercials always this bad and I’m just burnt out on them now, or are they actually more terrible than they used to be?
I have been noticing a creative slump on Madison Ave. as well.
Nothing but field goals. I’m watching some Thai soap opera-ish movies with tons of gratuitous nudity.
I had no idea that screen doors in Thailand could take that sort of pounding!
“If they’re good enough for our submarines then they can take a Thai pounding”
-Old Polish saying
THIS GUY RIKKI-TIKKI-DEADLY I CALL HIM MATT GAETZ BECAUSE THE PERSON HE NORMALLY HAS INTIMATE RELATIONS WITH SLEPT OVER AT A FRIEND’S HOUSE LAST NIGHT.
That first half will teach Spain not to mess with the US of A. The USS Maine is avenged!
/looks down in anger, runs hands through hair
pass
The best poem about Madrid (ymmv, excerpt):
Birds visit the psychiatrist.
Stars forget to come out.
Death passes in white ambulances,
Let’s say I’m talking about Madrid.
The sun is a butane stove.
Life is a Metro about to leave.
There is a syringe on the sink,
Let’s say I’m talking about Madrid.
Let’s say I’m talking about Madrid.

I’m just here so I don’t get fined.
And to learn a lot about Madrid, it seems.
Can we have a Pamplona run through the stadium?
WOOOOOOOOO!!!!
[runs through Estadio Bernabéu wearing nothing but a San Fermín bandana wrapped around his wing-wang, being chased by several bulls]
You have to appreciate the Shield’s lack of luck in trying to explain the sport in hopes of getting a couple of teams overseas all paid for with their money, only to get boring game after boring game thus reducing the urge to build stadiums for rich guys.
I like that we’re taking our bread and circuses and gladiator combat and all the other trappings of our decaying empire worldwide!
¡Presente! Just been neck-deep into house chores, which get derailed upon every mention of Real Madriz /spits on floor, mops area again
Loved the preview. Ortega y Gasset shout out!! “I’m myself and my circumstance” is his most quoted sentence in español.
I always found that fascinating about Johannesburg – it’s got no significant waterway to speak of. The whole reason it’s there is because of the gold. It’s basically just a mining town that got bigger and bigger and bigger.
That’s cool. The other exception I come across are mountainous countries that have an area of flatlands where folks can congregate but still there’s usually water nearby.
Usually it’s some technological evolution to allow it happen. Aqueducts. Trains. Highways. It’s part of the reason why the Eastern US is so compacted yet Western US is so spread out.
Dallas-Ft. Worth is, I read somewhere, the biggest US city with no major waterway.
I imagine Dallas was chosen for its clear
lines of firesite lines.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLTlvc9soHU
That only works if there are lots of attractive cousins in the area, though.
Someone get me some churros y chocolate, de repente.
¡Es una hermosa mañana para catorce horas de fútbol obligatorio!
Oh sí. Ese es el plan.
Name a funner word than obligatorio YOU CAN’T!!!
Ah, español can always blindside youse with an even trippier word, like DESANGELADO, i.e., without an angel literally. Figuratively, tou can imagine
Do they not have the 10-foot tall playclock counting down directly in front of the quarterbacks face in the Europe games? What seems to be the issue here?
Who’s taking attendance for this mandatorium?
I don’t want to be marked absent/fined.
/dick joke
Can we be mentally absent? Pretty sure i have the emotional part down pat.
oh si, my brain is barely above comatose
I’m here because I volunteered for overtime, only to be told to show up to work at 8 AM on Sunday.
I’m here but a) am not watching because I don’t have access to the NFL network and b) will disappear to walk the dog and do other chores shortly.
Started Mariota over Tua, expecting to end up in fencing pose
So what’s the betting line on Tua getting another concussion.
YES
I have a feeling this is a real prop bet some where.
NFL knew Spain would be a fan of abstract meaningless violence so they brought to them the tragedy of Fins vs Commies.
Guernicommie!
That’s really delightful innit?
Really? This is how you decide to dress to sing your national anthem on foreign soil? Well, off you go, I guess?
I thought Spain used Portuguese?
And I thought Italy used a King
Huh. Never took Blax for a Philip II stan
Well, fine then! I’ll just put my disposable income in Mutual Funds and a Deposit Certificates, like an adult would!
Wait. Prohibit prop bets so we get some Blaxox scandals?
You’ll never go broke betting on the stupidity of the American public.
The Mobs can’t get rich; only Oligarchs and Billionaires. It’s the American way.
I had this cooking Thursday night until Henderson mysteriously disappeared for most of the second half. Maybe we should call it quits on the prop bets. Too much temptation.
That’s why I limit myself from the marathon parlays. If I do one, I’ll also split it into two or three smaller ones in case the last leg decides to sneak out early to beat traffic.
Madrid cervecerias are one of the best ways in the world to enjoy a cold beer and some food. I feel like the best ones always have the metal chairs out front and those diner-style napkin dispensers
Third day of mystery illness and a brain packed with a galaxy of over-the-counter snake oils. Listening to a lot of these fellas. who knew multiple 12-string electrics all pulsating at once could relieve sinus pressure? Thanks Anton! Fins are going to fucking smash today.

I couldn’t get a pic to post because it’s early and I am not smart. If someone wants to throw one in there, feel free.
Here…
gotcha homey
Thanks buckaroo!
