Your Holiday Monday Evening Open Thread

Did you pretend to do some yardwork this afternoon? I did. (I bet The Commenter Formerly Known As GameTimeDecision actually did some raking and digging and suchlike) I’ll try to find some NFL stuff for you but like Jim Boeheim with a runny schnozz, the pickings are thin.

This Guy Doesn’t Know How To Party:

The toxicology report for Josh Mauro, a rotational defensive end that passed away at the age of 35, revealed that his body was maxxed out on fentanyl, cocaine and alcohol. When will folks realize that this is not a sprint, it’s a marathon!

Tom Brady is a Model:

Of Self Regard. He wore some black leather while catwalking during a Gucci event. That is a real sentence.

Is There No Justice?:

The Giants have just a measly four(!) prime time games this coming season. Enjoy it while it lasts because if they improve it’ll be at least a half dozen tilts in 2027.

Chargers Progress Nullified?:

The sked came out and it has been noted that the Bolts have a -24 rest day differential vs their opponents. That’s the most that any team has encountered since 1990. Bears fans rejoice because they have the biggest advantage at +15 and the Bills are just behind at +14. Does this affect a team’s W/L number? I think it’s correlation more than causation but I’ll lay it out. Last season the teams with 8 or more rest days were the Seahawks (14 wins), the Rams (12 wins) and San Fran (12 wins again). Seems a wee bit fishy but let’s have a looky-loo at the squadoos that had the fewest amount of rest days last year. That would be the Raiders (3 wins), the Commies (5 wins) and the Saints (6 wins). I’m sure that our local Dok could drive a train through my cherry-picked stats but nothing matters but the surface these days so…yeah.

Sprots Tonight?: Mauro most likely left some white lines behind but renting the motorcycle and helicopter on such short notice for the Sabres/Canadiens game? Kinda iffy.

[makes slight grumbling noise] Ok, I might watch OKC/SA during ad breaks because it seems like a weird matchup between two very good teams.

Have at it.
