And sadly, this is typical of Cleveland sports fans (re: see how badly they still wanna cling to a racist name & mascot in regards to the Guardians)
September 19, 20222 yr comment_2890632 The only problem with publishing these photos is the degenerates who put up that display are quite likely slapping each other on the back, and praising each other's manhood.
September 20, 20222 yr Author comment_2890699 Today's joke from the Book of Face: Q: What's the difference between the Chicago Bears and a pack of cigarettes? A: Aaron Rodgers doesn't smoke cigarettes. (Although, as one respondent pointed out, what he does smoke is anyone's guess....)
September 20, 20222 yr comment_2890719 The Titans are pulling a Bungles...4 TOs. Problem is, they're actually playing a quality team, so they're getting crushed. Had that one on until just switching to the Eagles game...but scoreboard watching said the Eagles are just pummeling the Vikes, and what I'm seeing now doesn't dispute that at all. Good news is that Dane Jackson has full movement in all extremities. EDIT: and watching Cousins struggle *again*...got me to wondering about his stats. The box score numbers are good. The QB rating isn't bad. The QBR, OTOH, is...not very good. Which suggests lots of empty yardage. Bit more browsing led me here:https://www.bloggingtheboys.com/2021/7/4/22562665/total-qbr-ranking-nfl-qbs-by-the-statistical-company-they-keep I think he makes an interesting argument. Cousins, for example, is in that messy middle...he won't kill you that often (tonight being an exception), but he's not likely to lead you to victory (a la last week). And good QB play doesn't equate to winning...Dak gets good grades, but the team's so bad.

September 20, 20222 yr comment_2890724 And always, always, always remember...friendly fire, isn't. Obviously a complete accident...but it also shows why a) the refs often call the late hit because it's dangerous b) leading with the crown is SOOO risky...in the more normal impact, the 3rd man in hitting the receiver, HIS neck could've compressed. Yeah, it isn't quite as obviously grotesque as seeing a leg at 90 degrees, but it doesn't take a medical degree to recognize that a neck jarred back that much is a VERY BAD THING. I suspect Jackson will be put into a neck brace for a couple weeks, if nothing else, just to keep it stable. Let's hope there's no long-term consequences.
September 20, 20222 yr comment_2890814 Bills update on Dane Jackson: https://www.buffalobills.com/news/bills-issue-an-update-on-cornerback-dane-jackson Which is great to hear. Presumably they'll need to make sure about concussion issues, tho.

There's likely to be torture anyway. I'm a WVU fan, and they're just not great this year. Plus, who knows what hideous outfit Va Tech will be wearing?

And that's just mild visual nausea; watching Trubisky flounder is worse. And the less said about That Other Team, the better.

I'm not optimistic for any of us. The Jest have a good pass D and pass rush, and that's not what the Bungles need right now. The Derps are already banged up and go on the road to the Tits. The Broncos are running out of receivers and corners and host the Neeners. The Seahawks host the Falcons, who are not only superior birds of prey but also have a revamped defense. And for their letdown game, the Jags go cross country to the Chargers, who have had ten days to prepare for them.

September 24, 20222 yr Author comment_2891262 Well, I guess it's a start. I hope. Broncos bring in help for Nathaniel Hackett, hire Jerry Rosburg to assist first-year head coach during games

September 25, 20222 yr Author comment_2891271 Literally anybody with any football acumen who's watched the Broncos over the first two weeks? (But my money is on an anonymous note in the suggestion box, in handwriting that looks suspiciously like Russell Wilson's.)
September 25, 20222 yr comment_2891285 It's a necessary move, but also a very damning one. It's affirmation that even the front office is realizing that Hackett isn't ready to be a head coach. it also puts Hackett on notice: he's got rope left, but there's NO!!! guarantee he'll be the coach next year. I won't go so far as to predict he'll be fired during the season, but this is a clear "put up or shut up" move. Yuck. Games tomorrow: Chiefs at Colts...line's only 5 and a hook, but it feels like it should be more. Philly and Washington...no way. Late slot is the Battle of the Bays. There's only so much ring-kissing adoration I can take. That'll be exceeded after 1 possession per team....
September 25, 20222 yr comment_2891332 Derps begin their game by giving up an easy TD and muffing the ensuing kickoff. Portentous.
September 25, 20222 yr Author comment_2891363 Congratulations, 6indy! You've just scored the go-ahead touchdown late in the 4th quarter! But you left Patrick Mahomes 24 seconds on the clock.
