Opps, didn't mean to quote myself twice. Sorry. Too late to undo the more recent version.

Hmmm....Kaaron didn't play in the second half.

Great minds, you beat me to it. He should have gotten the wrist vaccine.

Well this NFL day went down the tubes quickly. Wrong lady sang at the end.

1-0 this week.

LOSER BOWL
Go DC (3-7) > Dolphins (3-7, -2.5)
O Really, serás aplastado.
Honolulu is the hometown of both starting QBs - Marcus Mariota and Tua Tagovailoa. The local time is 0430, ouch.
It was fine earlier, but dumb of the Dolphins to run a play on 4th and goal from the 2 in a tie game with less than 2 minutes left and DC out of time outs. They should have kicked the short FG. If Miami goes on to lose they deserve it.
Never mind, the DC kicker isn't good enough, OT.
13-16 final.

TV here:

1:00 PM

FOX
Panthers > @Falcons (-4 ). The Panthers should be favored.
As I said.
Panthers TD + 2 with 1:08 - 4th, 27-24.
ATL drive and 45 yard FG with 0:16 - 4th, 27-27. OT
ATL punts, TE Tremble makes the stadium tremble with an angry 54 yards catch and run. 30-27 on the subsequent 28 yard field goal, 30-27.
Also:

Bryce Young overcomes ankle injury, sets Panthers record in win

... Young returned -- and then turned in a career day.

The No. 1 pick of the 2023 draft, with his ankle heavily taped, passed for a franchise-record 448 yards and three touchdowns. He drove the Panthers in position for the winning field goal in overtime thanks to a short pass that tight end Tommy Tremble turned into 54-yard gain. Young almost single-handedly helped Carolina improve to 6-5 and move a half-game behind the NFC South-leading Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-4).

Afterward, Young didn't hide the amount of pain he was in.

"'Pain' is an accurate way to sum it up,'' Young said. "You just breathe through the pain.''

Teammates marveled at Young's return and performance.

"I saw him come back into the game,'' said wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan, who had eight catches for 130 yards and two touchdowns. ''I'm like, 'Hey, you good?' He's like, 'Yeah!' I'm like, 'Well, next time get your ass up.' ...

Buccaneers vs @Bills. Go football. Should be a good game.
It was a good game. 9 (I think) lead changes. 32-44 Bills.
Good thing the Bills didn't need my support. Carolina is only 1/2 game out of the Division lead.

4:25 PM CBS
@Broncos > KC (-4.5 ). The Broncos should be favored.
As I said. Denver walkoff 35 yard field goal, 22-19 Honorary mention to KC's misogynist RWer Butker for getting a PAT blocked.

GO:

1:00 PM

Bears > @Vikings (-2.5)
Gotta hang on to that Division lead, Chicago Dog.
Big MN comeback in the 4th. Bears walkoff 48 yard field, 19-17.

Packers (-7) > @Giants. 27-20

Bengals > @Kaarons (-5.5). GORavensGO 12-34

@Jaguars > LA Traitors (-3). GoHunterGo!
Hunter is on IR . Jags are kicking ass, though.
35-6 final. Congrats, O Really!

4:05 PM

Seahawks > @Rams (-3.5)
Seahawks started slow but crept back into it.
19-21 final Sad wife = sad life

49ers (-3.5) > @Cardinals
Burned 'em like a hummingbird in a Useless backyard, 41-22

4:25 PM
Ravens (-7.5) > @Browns. GOBirdsGO

Browns' Shedeur Sanders debuts after Dillon Gabriel concussion

Once upon a time we would have celebrated the hit on Gabriel.

Sanders finished 4-of-16 passing for 47 yards and an interception. He also had three carries for 16 yards as Cleveland, which led 16-10 at the half, fell, 23-16.

The Browns drove to the Baltimore 25 in the closing minutes, but Sanders threw three straight incompletions. Cleveland turned over the ball on downs, allowing the Ravens to run out the clock....

I'm sorry Shedeur did so poorly, but he was playing the Ravens defense and I'm happy for the win Vegas nailed it.

8:20 PM NBC/Peacock
Lions vs @Eagles (-2.5)
I like both. Go football. Should be a good game.
8:05 ET. Changed my mind after looking at the standings. Philly is a lock and I'd like to see both the Lions and Bears in the Playoffs. GoDetroitGo.
Shouldn't have changed my mind, 9-16

Last I heard he was 50/50 to play.

I didn't bother looking it up.

MAGAt Jets are starting Tyrod Taylor.

Strange name, Tie rod.

He's 36, but he has spent a lot of time on the bench. We'll try to not be too rough on him.

No Kaaron today.

I'm a little disappointed. I was hoping we could've given him the Farve treatment and ended his career too.

[O Really]

Nope. Still unforgiven. From today's SD U-T

is the season to be … ah, stupid? Ignorant? Clueless? Rug puller?
There actually are people out there carrying a silver platter — fool’s silver, I’d
bet — who would like to see Jim Harbaugh’s head on it for Thanksgiving.
I realize these numbskulls are not legion, that the head coach of the NFL Team
That Used To Be Here — you know, the Judases, L.A. Lodgers — could be 11-0 as
he manages his way through a bye week, and a few would still bitch.
Jim Harbaugh, looking on as the Chargers beat the Dolphins last month, has
led the Bolts to a 7-4 record despite their offensive line being plagued by
injuries.
And yet there are people out there who want Harbaugh canned and run out of
town on the Wolverine he came in on.
But that’s the way of Unsocial Media, an unchecked paradise for morons, who
always were out there in the weeds, except now they not only have a forum, but
there are jackasses who believe them.
Anyway, for this I have one word: What?
The Judases are 7-4, 3-0 in the AFC West. And I have to consider it a secular
miracle. But Jim has won everywhere he’s tried, and he is the greatest team
resurrector since Marty Schottenheimer.
Last year, after winning the national title at Michigan, he took over a moribund
Judases team that had gone 5-12 the season before and coached the 2024 J’s to
an 11-6 record and into the playoffs.
This year was going to be better, and it started off that way, despite Pro Bowl
tackle Rashawn Slater being lost for the year with a patellar tear in training
camp. They got by with their right tackle Joe Alt filling in brilliantly for Slater
on the left, but then Alt went down with an ankle injury in late September,
returned, then had surgery on that ankle.
Now the offensive line is a mare’s nest. It is graded the lowest in The League,
and has to be among the worst in history. They’re getting by on their fourthstring running back. Elite QB Justin Herbert has been battered.
Has Harbaugh been perfect? Hardly. Just a few games back his J’s absolutely
John Wayned the physical Steelers 25-10. It had to be one of Harbaugh’s best
efforts as a coach. Then last week the J’s went to play a mediocre Jacksonville
team and got slapped around in every phase. Jax held the ball for a quarter
longer. It may have been Harbaugh’s worst coaching job.
I guess the angry villagers don’t understand how hard it is to win with the
worst O-line in football. The J’s shouldn’t even be in games. And yet they have
been. Despite player blunders and, yes, coaching mistakes.
But I know one thing. Jim Harbaugh can coach. And if, by some luck, they make
the right moves and stay healthy, next year they’re going to be a force.
Luck. It’s all about luck. And in the NFL, luck means healthy. …

[O Really]

Kaaron's 41 years have not been kind to him.

Here's another QB at age 48

[GoCubsGo]

The director of the CBS telecast for the Bears game needs to go. He's showing too many weird angles, he's in love with the overhead camera and is making way too many cuts.

It's making me nauseous.

Sympathy for Jim Harbaugh and the Traitors make me . I guess that makes me a "stupid? Ignorant? Clueless? Rug puller?"

Naaa, you were a Harbaugh hater before he took over the Traitors.

Side note - it occurred to me that a backup tackle named "Alt" is funny.
