The week has to start somewhere, don’t it?
I think that football fans got everything they wanted out of yesterday. So many boxes checked. Snow. Tight defensive struggle. Wide-open scoring. Redemption arc fulfilled. Young gun (JSN) comes up huge on national stage.
One thing I noted during the Seattle tilt was the way that the OC Klint Kubiak kept Darnold moving around in the pocket. Not a lot, but prevented him from being a static target. I think this practice also served to keep him in rhythm throughout the game. His footwork was superlative, a skillset that I had no idea he possessed.
Flotsam and Jetsam:
-What is with all these coaching candidates bailing on teams? McDaniel noping the Browns, Rivers cutting things short with the Bills, Mike Kafka blowing off the Eagles for a nebulous role with Detroit? And I’ve not even scratched the surface. Are these guys finally realizing that no situation is better than a bad situation? Did you see that report that guys who want the Cleveland job are subjected to? There’s homework, essays, personality tests and interview panels to negotiate before you get to negotiations.
-Stafford gave the obligatory (he is 37), “six months is a long way away” response when asked what his plans were for next year. Will he be that rare jewel that bows out at the height of his powers? Nope. Why? Spotrac tells me that there’s another 40-48 million bucks to be earned. That would nudge his career total to just under half a billion buckets. I feel sick to my stomach.
-Seattle opened as 3.5 favorites and that has risen by a pioint.
-Aden Durde: Who the hell is that? He’s the Seahawks DC that no one ever talks about. He’s done a helluva job putting MacDonald’s defensive concepts into practice.
There’s a couple of ranked college teams playing each other and lot’s of hawkey so have at it.
So ICE is handling superb owl security. I see no problems here.
RIP Bad Bunny
Jesus really? Not for real right?
You guys are fucked. I wouldn’t be surprised if Donny stepped in and played quarterback for both teams at this point.
No, not for real. They might arrest some people selling hot dogs in the parking lot, but they will NOT be fucking with the kind of people that can afford to attend the game itself.
The Super Bowl is a national security event, which means DHS supervises security. In theory, that means the secret service supervises. But the reality is that 90% of DHS armed agents, who have been doing this shit for 20 years now, are in ICE.
I’m sure someone will get right on repealing that stupid fucking law, along with the patriot act, and the September 2001 AUMF, first thing they get the votes.
Just checking to see if the plugin that censors Redskins is working, looks like it’s not active
Doesn’t look censored, everyone else see it?
Nevermind, refreshed and it worked
It’s not. Don’t think the Chi**** one is working either.

That’s where the fun is!
I did a lot of shoveling today. I deserve a Monday bourbon!
I’ve read a lot folks patting themselves on the back for not dying of a heart attack after shoveling snow today. (To be fair, those that did die I wouldn’t have heard from anyway)
I deserve a Monday Freezer Vodka.
I thought the whole point of Snapchat was that your photos *don’t* get saved.

Oh, have WE got a Nocturnes Magazine for you on Wednesday.
How are we doin’ tonight? Any outages so far?
None as far as I can tell. That would have been nice YESTERDAY!!!
Hopefully it’s because some of our work is paying off, though it’s probably just because we have fewer people all trying to comment at once than during a playoff game
I’m holding out hope the issues are getting resolved and we can be fully operational for the Pro Bowl Games next weekend.
I know there IS always a rush to comment when everyone is watching the Pro Bowl. Most popular sporting event of the year!
Rangers win. My reaction?
This does not help the wallet, or the tank.
À man in a neighbouring city was caught on security camera fucking horses. He violated three mares and even went to get a step stool to aid in his equine molestation.
At least when the stallion finds out he won’t have to ask if the neigh-pist was bigger than him.
There was a guy on the USS Simon Lake
( submarine tender) when we were in Scotland who got arrested for
” interfering” with sheep. They held him in the brig for a few days. Guys were going down there and making sheep noises, and asking him if he was their daaaaaddy until the CO made them knock it off.
You’ve been a baaaaad baaaad boy
What a wooly-headed ninny.
We had a bit we would do while riding on the back of a truck through the agricultural areas of Europe. When passing a herd of sheep we’d pick on the current target in the platoon by sheep talking… Keeelllyyyy… Weeerreee haaaavvvveee yuuuoooo beeeennn….
Scotland? Everyone knows you’re supposed to do that in Wales!
Outside of the cities, everywhere in the rural UK is Appalachia.
Your mother was a sheep and your father smelled of elderberries!
English pig-dog! I fart in your general direction!

“I had the weirdest dream last night…” – JD Vance to his wife when he encounters her in the kitchen tomorrow morning
Who’s more turned on here: Catherine the Great, or JD Vance?
Not gonna lie, I love this couch!
Kinda amazed he didn’t get the shit kicked out of him
You know that is shocking. How can you bed à trifecta of adult horses and not take a single hoof to the berries?
Maybe he roofied them?
Saying no to the Browns is the sanest decision one can make.
“I agree!”

Maybe but I know which one I would fuck.
Agador?
Is he the twink?
Yup.
Great observation on Darnold. And I think the coaches bowing out could be a face-saving withdrawal if there’s no chance of being recruited.
BTW, the last coupla years I’ve heard that, for normal jobs, you can go through 2-3 interviews WITHOUT being told how much the job pays. I think that’s unreasonable, a straight-up mind fuck.
In California and some other states they’re required to provide a salary range for job listings. At least for my field the interview process is so involved they usually want to discuss salary requirements right away so they don’t end up making an offer that will never be accepted
How could the Steelers go McCarthy over someone like Flores? Or just running with two coordinators and pile of lint as head coach. Both some better to me.
I think Flores claiming, (pointing out), that Miami was tanking is probably being held against him.
Flores got a second interview and it was in person. If for whatever reason McCarthy said no, he was the second choice.
If you’re the second choice to Mike McCarthy you were never the choice.
Yes, I thought I was pissed at the Rooney failsons when they went after A.A. Ron instead of hunting down a long term solution but I fucking pissed now. They have done the same thing for a coach — pick a short term fossil instead of investing in a future. Art Rooney II is not fit to have that name. The Chief was a gambler and raconteur and not a sniveling corporate shitbird. Ugh, we are gonna be Dallas for the next 5 years, maybe worse.
Bruins-Rangers on my TV, from MSG. I’ve heard louder crowds at wakes, and the home team is winning.

This camera was designed and built by the camera department at 20th Century Fox studios, back when camera departments were a thing (hint: they no longer are). The Fox Simplex is a mechanical work of art.

I’d forgotten how much shoveling a lot of snow sucks all the dicks, so today was a nice reminder of that.
Dude even using a snowblower I’m feeling drained.
We have an electric one but it didn’t work today.
Probably because I haven’t had to use it in about four years, but even when it did work it took forever to clear the snow and it couldn’t throw it more than about 10′ in either direction.
I live in Canada and I haven’t shovelled once this year. God is punishing you all for not being as righteous as we are in my specific area of the world. Glory to be to Zeus.
I can sympathize. It was so chilly tonight that I had to wear tights while playing tennis. Tights!
The Seattle defense concerns me a bit. Not like the Pats haven’t gone through good defenses already, but this one feels different somehow.
McDaniel was lured by the siren song of Santa Monica Boulevard or something. I can’t remember how that song goes.
Anyway. It figures snowpocalypse was a big nothing.
LA has all the benefits of Miami without the humidity. It’s a no-brainer.
That hair can’t handle it no more
