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!
Quit using that overpaid fuck! Your gimmick is cute but ultimately stupid.

What she said on the fourth date
I have figured out that this is why I remain unmarried at age 61.
I know that overtimes have been shortened due to injury concerns, but in all seriousness, what even is the point of a 10-minute overtime period? It seems like a pretty half-assed attempt to avoid ties.
Which of course has resulted in more ties than I can recall having in a fairly short amount of time.
There’s a reasonable chance of points occurring during any given 10 minute period. As long as each team can get a drive in I don’t think it’s too different.
I rather have a short OT than the college system. Fuck 4 and half hour games.
Oh, beloved trickster god DOINK, how I have missed you.
Ha ha ha ha!!
PRAISE SHAN’KHOR!!!!!!
I spent my holiday Monday clearing a few things out of my DVR Playlist. Bunch of New England Game Warden shows (soothing, no one gets shot).
Also watched the first 4 episodes of the new Fargo series. I only watched the movie over 20 years ago, never watched the first three series. Intriguing. I love the old cars, but like all shows that use vintage vehicles, the cars all look like they just came off the showroom floor. No beaters.
OT!
There is no such thing as a money badger. And reality agrees.
The White House is actually full of money badgers. They don’t give a shit.
Bonus football
Noooo!
YES!
Praise be to SHANK’HOR.
PRAISE SHAN’LKOR

I need a big miss. Mainly due to hatred of all things San Diego.
STOMP STOMP CLAP!
I have only ever been to SD once, from April 1981 to October 1981 for basic training and A school. I didn’t hate San Diego, but I did have the opportunity to be stationed there for shore duty after tech school and did not choose to do so.
Gumby did basic there too, A school in Dam Neck.
Wasn’t he subs? I know you said y’all were in Holy Loch. He must have done some time in New London if he was a bubblehead?
Bank Street motherfucker; the Jacksonville of Connecticut!
God damn, Mike Williams is a grown-ass man.
He missed an extra point, he will hit this.
By this, I meant the upright.
Nice segue.
Holy shit, what a catch!
Like DK last night
I know steroids can cause acne, but I really hope that’s not the case here, because if he looks like that AFTER steroids…
I’d say it’s most likely just being 22 with bad genes
Time to get for Hurbert to get proactiv

Playing for OT
I see Norv Turner is back as the OC for the Spanos Clan.
We gonna get bonus methinks
This is exciting. Very exciting. I’m excited!
Not gonna lie here, rooting for The Stridex Kid to pull one out.
You’d be crazy going for two there, right? With that much time left on the clock?
Yup. Waay too much time.
Brees didn’t look too happy talking to Payton just now.
Bullshit vulturedown
That’s why you pay the big bucks to a gadget player.
Wow
Man. What times we live in. When a running back can Moss someone, you know shit’s incredibly weird.
Deja Vu from last night all over again.
Damn, that’s a catch.
Oh jeez Brees
Until he gets out of puberty, the new Charger QB’s DFO nickname should be La-zit-face.
Seconded.
Is it just me, or does Sanders have 32 catches tonight?
Bolts D needs to make this stop. 27 points from a rookie qb should be more than enough.
How was he so wide open?
Means Brees will have to throw it further than 5 yards.
Joe Flacco is in the corner sulking with his vanilla ice cream
They can probably stop calling Dalton ‘the best backup QB in the league’ since he’s pretty clearly now the ‘no worse than 22nd starting QB in the league’ for the remainder of the year.
Hey more prime-time Cowboys
‘Merica’s Team, baby.
That’s not fair to say the Chargers’ line hasn’t protected Herbert in the second half; they didn’t protect him in the first half either.
Did you know that the US was racist in 1933? (Also all other years)
Written right into the Constitution and “Bill of No Rights For You!”
Oh now Malcolm Jenkins drops a gimme interception!
With a game tomorrow, does that mean fantasy waivers will clear a day later than usual?
That’s how Yahoo! is handling it.
I am in the Wine Club for Backdoor Winery in BC, the discount is great but I have yet to be offered any buggery.
I need to visit…
I thought you had to upgrade to the Premium package in order to get the buggery.
Are you sure that’s a description and not a serving suggestion?
Oh no, they have really good stuff for good prices, 40% discount when you have ordered 2 cases. 25% before that.
Solid. Napa/Sonoma tends to go more for events than discounts, which is obviously a no-go right now. Throw in the number of places that are wholesale chucking/not harvesting grapes because of the slight POSSIBILITY of smoke damage and I have no idea what’s gonna happen with prices
The fires definitely change the makeup of the wines. Some years the whites taste of orchard fruit and smoke, doesn’t work so well, but the reds are fucking fantastic.
You have to ask for Peg.
You need to go to Wine Sodomy and The Lash. Memberships are reasonably priced.
Ha ha ha stupid Lawnclippers.
That whistle blew the second he was touched

Dorian Gray’s portrait aged better.
I’ve seen five month old Halloween pumpkins that look better.
Biden (today): “All my hopes of winning Ohio start with Cincinnati.”
Welp, Trump’s on the board with 18 points. Rule#1: when everything is on the line, don’t trust Cincinnati for shit.
Eh, doesn’t matter what he says, only matters what his campaign does
