- The PGA is looking for a new host of next year's PGA Championship. It was going to be held on a Trump course, and obvious political events have nixed that. I am more than a little surprised to that, given the amount of Trump support in the realms of professional golf. Pro golf could be one the few sports you might actually see players boycott IN SUPPORT OF Donald Trump this year.
- Appears to be a attempt to rig yesterday's game in the last minute toward the Colts with a missed call on a fourth-down pass attempt, but the Colts could not capitalize.
- Death toll is now six from the riot -- a second Capital Police officer has died due to effects from the riot. This one was psychological, he committed suicide.
- And now the Celtics are down to eight players with protocols (at least seven of the nine players on the injury report are COVID protocols). This is NOT a good idea to continue sports outside of a bubble, leagues!!!
- DeMarcus Cousins and his Lakers replacement were both ejected in a win by the Lakers today over Cousins' Rockets. Cousins got a technical in the first quarter for an altercation with the player who replaced him, Markeif Morris , Cousins then drew a Flagrant-2 for hitting LeBron James in the head. Second ejection in the last four games (three T's and a F2 in that span)...
Sunday Super Wild Card Thoughts:
- UrinatingTree aside, you had to see this coming for the Steelers. You don't start 11-0 and finish 12-4 and expect anyone to take you seriously. That said, TWENTY-EIGHT IN THE FIRST? Time to clean house, Captain Fatfuck on down.
- No surprise Baltimore goes over in what almost-certainly was the weekend's main event. But when it does it stop being that Lamar Jackson is the Peyton Manning to Patrick Mahomes' Tom Brady, and when does it start being his time?
- And New Orleans get the win over the Bears in the Nickelodeon Game. That said, there is a big piece of news which MIGHT tilt the balance of the NFC. According to NFL.com, the rumor mill is now hot that Drew Brees may retire at the end of the season.
Next week:
Saturday early on FOX: Rams at Packers
Saturday late on NBC: Ravens at Bills
Sunday early on CBS: Titans at Chiefs
Sunday late on FOX: Bucs at Saints which I now view as the true NFC Championship Game
The shitty Colts non fumble call was simply the NFL trying to save face. That's them saying "hey, our games aren't fixed buddy!!"
ReplyDeleteMisdirection.
DeleteThey damn well know people believe the games are fixed, and are actually weaving that into the storylines!!
(Not mad at you at that... Just making the point for emphasis.)
once again, where have you been? this is the Brees retirement season, its been talked about all year long.
ReplyDeletethere for, we must consider a Saints moneyline bet. Sure i like Tompa too but he'll be back next year.
Anything short of a NFC conference game for the Saints would nbe complete and utter disappointment for the team. Meanwhile Tompa plyn with house money. Better storyline if Tompa goes away and they play up the Arians vs Brady storyline in the offseason. Tompa will also add a HUGE piece in the offseason making next year's Big Ben retirement tour vs Brady a potential SB hype matchup.
I have no choice but to slam the Saints moneyline this week. We;ll be hearing about the vaunted Saints D that held Chicago to nothing but a garbage time TD.
Saints could lose in the NFC championship sure, but no sense in eliminating them here vs Tampa.
Star in the making in Deontae Harris, they need someone to take some of the thunder away from an extremely over rated and slow MT, who has clearly lost something meanwhile the Saints are desperately trying to cover up the fact that MT is still not 100%.
As things stand right now, NO-Tampa is the NFC title game. That might change or I might be proven wrong, but I believe that winner will be in the Super Bowl.
DeleteBrees retiring does change the scenery more than a bit -- but Brady retiring would go over the top.
