But yeah, something’s got a sick sense of humour. Everything was lining up so well for Dak. He was gonna get some big money no matter how things shook out. Now? Maybe a one year ‘prove it’ deal. That ain’t right, that ain’t right at all. I read a word fart about Dak being “the future” but the Cowboys’ actions speak volumes.
Fallout:
-Speaking of ‘goners’, look for A.J. Green to be traded or released. One catch for three yards and a pathetic attempt at 1) batting down a potential interception and 2) making a tackle on said intercept. Redshirt probably doesn’t want to hear this but Cincy was smart as hell going after Tee Higgins. Sometimes a plan comes together…
-I laughed out loud hearing that Dan Quinn was replaced by DC Raheem Norris, the guy who was at the center of, oh, 70-75% of the Falcons problems. He’ll bring all the wisdom gained during his 17-31 run with Tampa to bear on the team. I’m not ruling out a one or two game bump though.
-Chase Claypool-his hometown is Abbotsford, British Columbia, as CBC was so proud to point out this morning-had himself a day for the ages. Did I mention something about rook wr’s getting up to speed recently? I love being right because it makes up for the 90% of times when I’m wrong.
-Daniel Jones is looking like David Carr these days. Remember that guy who never had a chance to develop (despite having skills) because his O-line caused him to be beaten to a pulp?
TO THE GAME!
Chargers/Saints:
-Mikey Thomas was ruled out yesterday(?). The reason being that he got into a fracas (this word is not used enough) with safety C.J. who care about his last name?
-Justin Herbert is the new ‘fuck it, I’m going long’ guy. Last week he had two scores of 72 and 53 yards. He’s tied for 2nd in TD’s over 20 yards (that’s throws over 20 yards, not a dink pass for 5 that ended up as a long score) despite being 25th in pass attempts.
-Now starring in the Halloween special, “The RB That Just Won’t Go Away” is Kalen Ballage, who was just signed to the Chargers practice squad. Folks complain about shitty coaches being recycled all the time-what about K.B.? And yes, I have no idea why I’m following his career so closely.
-Hunter Henry might just do something tonight (my fantasy brain hopes). When the Saints lost to the Raiders they gave up 15 catches, 142 yards and a score to that spot.
Let’s do this!
Justice Department Entertainment Division.
President’s Agent?
Holy shit this movie was prescient!
Running Man is on. It’s set in 2019.
WHERE THE FUCK IS MY RUNNING MAN TV SHOW?!?!?
Subway? Check.
Homeless encampments? Check.
Video ads boards? Check.

But Arnie is still alive!!
Insert bon mot here.
Don’t know, let’s check the board:
SURVEY SAYS:
Yep, ded.
I don’t know, but Bridezillas is back on TV. That’s pretty similar.
Voice-activated lights? Check.
Voice activated coffeemaker? Check.
Voice-activated TV? Check.
WHERE IS MY RUNNING MAN?
Oooh, finally saw the Biden McCain commercial, that’s well done.
Really is. Widow McCain seems like she really MEANS it, which just goes to show how deep the well of SWEET HATE can run.
I am going to have to take back what I said about Cindy McCain, which is that if you stay out past midnight in Scottsdale you turn into Cindy McCain.
John McCain’s mom just died at the age of 108. Am I a horrible person for hoping that she managed to mail in a ballot on behalf of Biden?
Super Chargers no more, off-brand low voltage Chargers it is!
Like one of them generic re-chargeable batteries, that starts leaking out pop rocks (but with MOAR flavoUr!!) on like the 3rd charge
Dead battery recycling it is.
Bottom Line up front: I’ve always been a bit of a Chargers fans. For no reason other than:
My high school opened in the mid-1960s and was named after Winston Churchill, who died in 1965. We are the Churchill Chargers. Won the State 4A Championship during my senior year, 1976-77, the only year I attended. (4A is as high as things went back then, it’s up to 5A these days).
That was excellent, kids!
I like SoCal denizens better than bayou dwellers. Good game, crap result.
Herbert looks like he’s gonna be good.
I think he’ll be perfectly cromulent for a while, at least.
Calling a penalty on the helmet coming off would be *chef’s kiss*
Other Hippo had that thought too!
God, New Orleans would BURRRRRN
That’s OK, there’ll be a hurricane coming along any minute to put the fires out.
Your CLIPPERS du MERDE, everybody!!
Ultimately, the youngster was not able to prevail.
Transcripts of NFL game coverage are publicly available yes? I kinda want to write a neural net that predicts dumb shit people say after penalties
Mahomes pulling in endorsement money for all sorts of not doing stuff
maybe he can give some pointers to Dak.
Mike Williams deep down the sideline.
Just no FG followed by MOAR goddamned KamaraPOINTZ
SD need to bring in Dr Pimple Popper as a consultant.
Forgive them, Father, for they know not to cover the flat.
I can say this, having had the same skin at 22 as Herbert does now, but man, he looks like his face caught on fire and someone put it out with a pick-axe.
You would think that the training staff could prescribe some retinol
perhaps…they seek to keep his self-esteem low, for when contract extension talks come ’round??
That squares with the medical ethics I expect from NFL training staffs
