The Buscher

In my latest “holy crap I feel old” moment...I can still remember Eli’s first SB win like it was yesterday and it doesn’t feel like it was that long ago. Daniel Jones was only 10 years old.

That really sucks about Barkley. Especially since the injury came during a week where they pretty much had to abandon the run because they kept trying to run it up the gut against a great Bucs D-line. Also means the Giants won't really get to see their full offense for a while since Golden Tate is out for another game too. I like Wayne Gallman as a backup, but as a starter it's quite a huge drop-off.

Seems like a longstanding tradition for the cover athlete to look like shit in WWE2k games.

Freddie Kitchens ran a 4th and 9 draw play from the 40 yard line in a 4-point game.

I was reading an article on Shane Gillis’ SNL firing and in the comments section it pretty much degenerated into an argument on whether or not Melissa Villasenor should be fired for racist tweets she put out years before she joined the cast. She deleted the tweets and SNL never commented. However it didn’t take long to realize that a lot of the people calling for her firing didn’t actually have any problem with the content of her tweets and just wanted her fired because they think she’s getting a pass due to being a Hispanic woman instead of a white guy.

Amazing drive from Jones followed by the predictable ending of the Giants defense blowing it. Fire James Bettcher tomorrow. OH MY FUCKING GOD HE MISSED AHAHAHA

One half of football and I’m pretty impressed by Daniel Jones, aside from the fumble which has been an issue with him that will probably only be fixed with experience when he gets more familiar with pressure. Unfortunately, he’s going to start his career with a horrendous record because the Giants defense remains the worst I’ve ever seen. Six possessions for Tampa Bay, six scores. James Bettcher should be fired tomorrow because this is a complete schematic failure.

officiating has been an absolute disaster this year. Baffling that it’s gotten this bad.

Nearly 75% of Yahoo Survival Pool participants took Dallas this week. I’ve never seen a percentage that high in a knockout pool.

I remember the days when stations didn’t feel the need to have 25 people on the pregame show panel.

Teams tend to be pretty liberal with who they give rings out to - a lot of teams will give rings to any player who was on their 53 or practice squad at any point during the season. If you don't get one, it's probably because you've pissed off the owner. So yeah, on top of everything else AB lost out on getting an easy ring.

Patriots fans send threats to reporter who revealed second AB accusation I guess sending intimidating messages is the best way to honor their favorite player.

What Antonio Brown will see next time he looks down his driveway.

Rosenhaus is just drumming up fake interest to try to draw a team in for real. Pretty standard. Kaepernick’s agent has been saying for two years now that he’s talking to teams and will be signed any day now.

Not going for it to ice the game on 4th and 1. Throwing it on 3rd and 9 and giving Norte Dame 40 extra seconds. Then the knuckleball punt. It’s like Georgia is actively trying to blow it.

Whatever faint hope the Mets had died at the hand of the Reds today. Kinda funny that after being 10 games under .500 at the break, they’re gonna end the season finishing around .500 which was predicted for them at the start of the season anyway. Can only imagine what might’ve been if Edwin Diaz and Jeurys Familia hadn’t cost the team countless games out of the bullpen.

Incredible finish in Pittsburgh/UCF

Just realized that Mason Rudolph is a huge MAGA head. Now I hope he flops hard.

An FCS team would’ve given them a run for their money two years ago.

Still not used to living in a world where Army are blowing out teams.

Ole Miss just got screwed over something wicked. Sure looks like the guy scored on third down with 10 seconds to go. Refs immediately marked him short and did no review.

Padres fire manager Andy Green.

Minshew’s performance already has me dreading WFAN callers on Monday morning. I think it’s perfectly reasonable to expect Jones to go through some struggles in his first start especially against a Todd Bowles-led defense. But I just know that you’re going to have people who have no patience calling in going “we used the #6 pick on this guy when a 6th round pick looks so much better!”

And then you have people like Bill Simmons trying to earn woke points: Dude has his own website, podcasts, an active Twitter account. During the last week and a half did he use this platform to say Brown should be released from his favorite team? Nope.

One of my Pats fan friends: “I’m not saying the investigation shouldn’t happen, but these accusations only came out when he signed with the Pats, should’ve waited for more information to release him.” Did they want the Pats to wait for Brown to kill someone? Christ.
