Man, that was good stuff! (is typing at 12:15 EST) Dimes throwing it around like crazy, that bananacakes last-second upset and that leg fracture. Ouch! Hopefully the second half of games can keep up the pace! To The Games! Jets/Broncos: This is my Survivor pick-don't let me down Hippo! Look for both Williams

Are you ready for some white-hot alpaca, um, football action? To The Games! TEAM/Bills: As noted by revered commenter/shut-in Hippo last week, Josh Allen seems to have reverted back to some more 'interesting' habits. Remember that fella what flung the ball willy nilly all over the field? He's back! His rate of uncatchable

Are we going to call him "Alpaca"? Of course "Giraffe" is already taken. Newsy Notes: -It's Not You, It's Them: The most flags thrown by refs in any week was 198 until this season came along. The first week 214 penalties were called and last week 221 flags were tossed. Cleaning up

It's good to be back! Many thanks to Hippo for filling in/helping out at the last second yesterday in order that jokery of dick could take place on this site. Fall Out: -How does one sprain both ankles? Cause that's what the ever-injured Wentz did yesterday. Perhaps he's just exploring new territory. -I'd

Did you miss the football? I did. It ain't hurt that some excellent games fell into our laps last weekend. (ya got lucky, Shield) Hey, looky here, the Giants are finally(!) being featured in a nationally televised broadcast. Took long enough. Is that the grinding of teeth I hear out

It's been four years now, is anyone happy with the direction of Rikki's Raiders? Seems to me the success of the season relies on a tremendous number of 'ifs'. Oops, I've gotten ahead of myself. On Mondays I usually do a follow up on Sunday's action. Here it comes... Fall Out: -Who

As I type this Tyrod, Jimmy G and Darnold are having a lovely day. But what the heck is an Elijah Mitchell? I mean, aside from a trendy pickup on next week's waiver wire. Isn't Coach Shanny The Second the slyest coach in ever? He sat Sermon and has given

Let's continue to nosh on games, shall we? Browns/Chiefs: How does a team committed to a power run game keep up with the Chiefs? My guess is that they need a special teams score and a few turnovers to narrow the scoring gap. Fins/Pats: The only jury that football fans would willingly sit on

Sorry Ravens rb Gub Dedwards, this does not apply to you. That's shitty, what your ACL did to you earlier today. So I hope you've got an extra special beverage and your very favourite snackie for the opener. It's been a while, hasn't it? We powered through with the help of

Shall we pretend to make sense of the weekend's games just like all the twitterers, youtubers and whores of the legacy media? You bet! What the hell else am I going to do, provide original content? Pffft! -The Broncos aren't as good as that 30-3 win over Seattle and Bridgewater isn't
