just miss the FG already so I can go to sleep

another timeout. for fuck sake.

It's 1 in the morning here. This fucking football game is taking forever.

was watching some old Lawrence Taylor highlights -- half his sacks were horse-collars -- Tom Brady was right. The game has become worse

If the Texans win this, Stroud is the MVP frontrunner

well, that shanked kick ends my Survivor season at the hands of my favorite team that would have been better off losing. Ugly

Zappe sucks too

two very suspicious PI flags against the Texans. Just bizarre

How is Bailey Zappe not on Nostr? Dude would clean up.

love the stuff of Etienne to close the half. The Kirk completion was all for nought

Tommy DeVito isn't that bad

Tyjae Speared

Giants up 7-0, might as well be 30-0

Mac Jones is bad

that was a TD for the Steelers. So dumb it matters whether the player falls down after catching the TD

Gonna start my baseball prep December 1

Let's do this shit

State of the State I know most of you are clamoring for an update on how my NFBKC team (the one I drafted with Sasha) is doing. For starters, we had some bad news last night when we learned our best player to date, Kevin Durant, would be scratched. And Russell Westbrook losing his job to James Harden, as well as Khris Middleton getting capped at 20 minutes per game (and leaving with an injury yesterday) isn’t helping. But Sasha insisted we draft 35-YO Brook Lopez, coming off a career year, in the sixth round (something that seemed foolish to me) and so far that and other moves have panned out. Last night Lopez had 39 points on 14-of-17 shooting, four threes, three blocks, two steals and five rebounds. Getting a center who averages two threes and three blocks who shoots north of 80 percent from the line is gold. Our other center, Myles Turner, had five blocks, a three, 23 points and 10 rebounds himself. Knock on wood, I remember reading he always gets hurt. So, at the risk of jinxing it, here are the standings through the first month of the year: Our weakest category by far is assists, so if you have any waiver wire suggestions let me know. It’s a pretty deep league (12 teams, 16 players per), so for example we have point guards Kyle Lowry and Cole Anthony already and are waiting on Bradley Beal to come back in a couple weeks hopefully. We even have Killian Hayes on the bench who I plan to cut this week (to give you an idea of how deep it is.)

FRIDAY NIGHT OBSERVATIONS I got home from dinner just in time to watch the replay of the last play of the first half — the Hail Mary pick six — and knew immediately my Jets +9.5 was dead, and I was 0-4 to start Week 12. That said, it’s hard not to experience a kind of joy when reflecting on the ocean of misery that is everything Jets. You broke your leg just before your ski vacation? Think of the Jets. You lost your leg in a car accident? At least you don’t root for the Jets. You died of a horrible disease? At least you weren’t a Jets fan while you were alive. In my darkest moments, the Jets bring me great comfort. Garrett Wilson salvaged his day on that garbage time drive at least. Unfortunately, it’s the time of year where though I have him on two teams, I need to root against him because those teams are drawing dead, and someone else has him in the league that’s still alive. But old habits die hard. I had Tyler Conklin going in the Steak League (I lost Darren Waller there.) He didn’t do much, but under the circumstances it was something. I also had Dalton Kincaid in that league, but benches are small, you can’t carry two tight ends for very long and it took Kincaid too long to break out. Timing is an underrated part of fantasy football. It’s not just what the guy does that makes him a good or bad pick, but when. I started Jeff Wilson in a drawing-dead league, but left Keaton Mitchell in over him in the Primetime, though I was sorely tempted to switch once De’Von Achane was scratched. Wilson did okay (10.3 points), so we’ll see. Raheem Mostert somehow has stayed relatively healthy this year and added two more TDs. It’s a three-way battle to lead the league in rushing scores between him, Gus Edwards and Christian McCaffrey. (High odds trifecta bets really need to be part of NFL futures.) Tyreek Hill always gets his. Hill, in my opinion, is an inner circle Hall of Famer. I’ve mentioned this before, but if I could choose any receivers in NFL history to build my team around, I’d go with Randy Moss, Jerry Rice and Hill first. Another gold lining in this otherwise abominable game was based af Al Michaels who in a 10-minute span mentioned bitcoin, rejected some gross-looking turducken for a tomahawk steak and casually dropped references to his time broadcasting with The Juice. The NFL surely wants to memory-hole The Juice, but not on Michaels’ watch.

And mentions the Juice!
