9/10/19 Foobaw Updates

  • Looks like it got smart in a hurry.  The Action Network reports a nigh-unheard-of 4 1/2 point move in the Patriot-Dolphin game -- line is now -19.
  • According to Vegas Insider -- even at -19, money is over 7-1 in favor of the Patriots at the William Hill.
  • According to Pro Football Reference, this would be the 15th time in NFL history that an NFL game had a line 19 or greater, with the record being Jacksonville +26.5 Denver in 2013 -- They lost 35-19, but Denver did not cover the 26.5.
  • SI put out an article in 2013 claiming that game and one other actually got to 27, and only 11 games got more than 19.
  • Bad news from New York:  It appears NONE of the major incidents from Sunday will result in suspensions.  The NFL wants to get somebody killed, more than ever, if that's the case.
  • The California State Assembly passed by 73-6 a direct rebuke to the NCAA regarding use of likeness, which the NCAA has threatened will disqualify all state schools from NCAA championships.  (And if you saw the current state of the big two revenue sports, that MIGHT impact the Rose Bowl and Gonzaga basketball...  and that's about IT.)  The Senate will reconcile differences with their version of the bill.  It is expected to pass, and then lawsuits filed which will delay it's 2023 effective date.
  • Odell Beckham Jr. will have to be either fined or removed from the field to no longer wear his almost $200,000 watch during games.  Stupid fucking idiot....
  • The Dolphins are denying all reports of mutiny in Miami.  They have to, for the good of the league.  
  • JLo is about to sell out her gender and do the Super Bowl halftime show.  Someone needs to remind "Jenny From the Block" why she used to have a little, now have a lot...  It ain't pretty for you, girl...  "'Living Color', movie scripts...  But I didn't get anything...  until I stripped..."
  • Another disgrace from Cleveland on Sunday.  The NFLPA has contacted the NFL about a Browns fan who dumped beer on Titans' Logan Ryan.  The stadium is banning the fan for life, the NFLPA wants charges.  That whole situation in Cleveland is about to go tits-up.  Though not as obvious of a shit-team situation as Miami, they may be in competition for the first franchise to go abject supernova.
  • A head-neck stretcher scare with Gareon Conley this weekend in the NFL, but he reports it was all protocol and everything has checked out...  For now...
  • Best opening game of the MNF doubleheader since 2015, according to Sports Media Watch:
  • 9.3 rating for Texans-Saints, up 24% from last year.
  • 7.7 for Raiders-Broncos, up 10%.  Good night for ESPN on the ratings end.
  • New Orleans and Denver's ratings for the games were double that of their opponents.
