Football

most tv sucks these days, but there are some shining examples of good writing, acting, camera work, etc... we call those Deadwood and Arrested Development. Family Guy sucks ass, though...

Fun trivia fact: tonight’s Washington vs Cincinnati game is the first NFL game since 1940 with zero punts and zero turnovers.

Interesting. In 1992, the Bills and 49ers had the "No Punt Game". There was 6 turnovers in that game (I had to find the box score). The No Punt Game Wikipedia page says that was the "first game in NFL history not to feature a single punt by either team". We all know that Wikipedia is never wrong, so there must be some technicality since the game in 1940 happened before the merger.

Wishing Hutch a speedy recovery. Love watching the kid play & they will need him for the playoffs.

Bears win in London - make that 3 in a row.

He brings a lot of fun energy to the team.
There’s been trade rumors about getting Reddick from the Jets or Budda Baker from Phoenix to complement Hutch on the other side of the line, but now maybe they just need to go get someone to replace his output.

The entire NFC North is spankin’. How wild would it be if Detroit won the division, and the other three took all the wild card slots?

I was hoping the Bills would do to the Jets what Detroit did to Dallas and embarrass that clown Rodgers. But a win is a win. I’ll take it.

I guess Saleh wasn’t the problem after all.

I told someone this morning that there were two possible outcomes from tonight's game. Either the Bills win, or they look completely stupid. That game seemed to go on forever. The 200+ yards in penalties probably didn't help. Bills fans are fed up with the kicker. He went from above average to inconsistent over the past season or two.

Is there a record for the number of off-setting penalties by both teams in a game? Because I think they broke it. :lol: :lol:

Madness. Has to happen once a year or thereabouts, not super glad it happened to my team this year. ><

That kick to end the bills game made me want to shout, and I'd wager it made ran want to shout, too.

Turn my heels up and shout. Throw my hands up and shout. I'll even go as far as throwing my head back and shout.

Bass has been having a rough couple years, so he (and the team) really needed that kick.

JFC Denver, you HAD that. You had it, and blew it.

Meanwhile, the Patriots are running a grocery store, they way they’re handing out sacks to Caleb Williams. They’re feeling so bad about it, they’ve started picking him up after each one.

CBS was probably praying for KC to win that game so they could use the "Undefeated Chiefs" vs. Bills for the storyline next week. Had KC lost, I'm sure the storyline would have been "the Chiefs are angry after their first loss". Networks are fairly predictable.
