As long as it doesn't involve Abby Normal.

I've lived long enough to see Charley Tolar and Charlie Kolar score touchdowns. #Oilers #Ravens

I always get drawn back to Al Gore telling voters that he’d only raise taxes on the top 1% and then after the election a poll showed that something like 20% of voters thought they were in the top 1% and another 20% thought they would be in the next five years. Just a total tragic disconnect.

Famous People I Have Blocked

An #NFL trade involving a player, a 6th round pick, another player and a 7th round pick -- the new fad -- always feels like it should have the word "undercoating" in the fine print. #Eagles #Jets

FWIW: 7 members of Carnegie Tech's 1932 football team wore glasses -- and no facemasks!

Trying to imagine what the Monday Night Football game would have been like if the #Commanders, tied 7-7 at the half, had just walked Patrick Mahomes 5 times after that. #Chiefs

"I'll take ASS KICKINGS for $2,000, Ken."
#Packers #Steelers

Maybe he can fill in for Ken Jennings every now and then on Jeopardy. #Steelers #Packers

Sorry about that. It's why these dipshit news organizations -- USA Today might have started it -- ask applicants to give them 10 story ideas (as if it's just an exercise instead of a way to steal/stockpile story ideas). Criminal.

Wish we could go back in time and have Art Rooney explain these #Steelers uniforms to us. Maybe we could catch him at Saratoga or Belmont.

Drake Maye has had a passer rating of 100+ in 7 straight games (minimum: 15 att.). The only other 23-year-old QB in #NFL history to have a streak that long is Patrick Mahomes (7, 2018), also in his 2nd season. Never saw it coming. Helps you understand why Josh McDaniels got a 2nd chance. #Patriots

Lee Harvey Oswald looks upset on the #Broncos sideline after that disallowed TD.

It's the third time in his career, btw, Barkley has rushed for 100+ yards rushing and had a TD catch in the same game. The first 2:
#Eagles #Giants

The only backs in #NFL history who've done it more often:
5 Marshall Faulk
4 Jim Brown, Priest Holmes

Walter Payton never did it!

2 #Eagles RBs rush for 100+ yards vs. the #Giants: Saquon Barkley 150, Tank Bigsby 104. You don't see that every day. The last 10 times it's happened in the #NFL (note: no QBs):

Choke up on the bat.

It's what happens when most of your sources are crumbs.

Colin Farrell is expecting a call.

Can remember when the #Bucs played the #Chiefs for the first time in 2020. They came out with a game plan that involved not covering or tackling Tyreek Hill and, amazingly, it didn't work out. Seems like the same deal tonight with Jahmyr Gibbs. #Lions

100/50 games -- 100 yards rushing, 50 receiving -- don't exactly grow on trees in the #NFL. Christian McCaffrey has the most among active RBs with 9 (playoffs included). James Conner is next with 6. I mention this because Jahmyr Gibbs already has one in the 1st half (106/54). #Lions #49ers

Versailles on the Potomac.

Which can't be fixed on the fly. (It couldn't even be shored up in an entire offseason.) If they want to salvage anything out of this season they have to at least *try* not to play from behind -- and assume no lead is big enough. I'm not seeing that.

The Hitchcock movie about it would be called To Catch A Gutter Cleaner.

Christian McCaffrey has 114 yards rushing and 72 receiving tonight vs. the #Falcons. The last 2 RBs to hit those 2 numbers in the same game are Christian McCaffrey in '23 (115/72 vs. #Cardinals) & Christian McCaffrey in '22 (121/72 vs. #Raiders).

It's more the slow starts. If you can score when you're down 10-0, you can score when you aren't down 10-0. So . . .

One of the biggest failings of any #NFL team is when they refuse to admit who they are. At their best, the #Commanders are, say, the '81 Coryell #Chargers. Every game plan should be: run the offense wide open, scored as many points as you can, and hope it's enough. They're not doing that.

Tom Brady is bringing that special something to the #Raiders that Derek Jeter brought to the #Marlins.

What can you say about a football team that feels no need to strike the first blow? That's the case with the #Commanders 4 games in a row now. They come out asking to be beaten -- and are usually obliged.

Something I overheard John Riggins saying the day after #Washington's season ended in the playoffs has always stuck with me: "Win or lose, the pay's the same!"
#Commanders #Giants
