Day 585, Part Two

  • That may, in many ways, be one of the WORST early-Sunday windows in history.
  • There were seven games, only one will end within one score, and five of them were non-competitive.
  • They were also very low scoring as well.  Average for the seven:  44.7 PPG.
  • The NFL has already broken the six-week record for the most games decided in the last minute or overtime.  The London game was decided then, and Minnesota just beat Carolina in overtime.  That makes 21 so far this year.
  • Home teams went 2-5 in the early games.
  • The MIN-CAR game was the only one of the seven to hit the over on the total.
  • However, EVERY FAVORITE HIT THE NUMBER.  All seven in the early window.
  • LSU coach Ed Oregeron is done after this year, it looks like.  Please note:   This isn't for the scandals, etc.  This is for LOSING.   
  • The CFP cabal got Iowa out of the way -- and Cincinnati is now the #2 team in the nation in the polls.  Let's see how long THAT lasts.   
  • And stop me if this song and dance has happened before:  Conor McGregor is now accused of punching an Italian DJ in the nose, breaking it.
  • Alison Williams is leaving ESPN because she does not want to be vaccinated.
  • Mark Davis, owner of the Raiders, believes the NFL is out to get the team.  NO!  I'm SHOCKED!!  It only took you probably your entire damn life to figure THAT ONE out?!?!?!??!??  
  • Aaaaand, services rendered.  Convincing win for the Raiders today in Denver.
  • Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand I just got shitcanned from my wrestling pirate group -- for the same rough reason I got booted from Botball.  These people actually want some degree of disbelief the games are real.
  • So explain to me how the NFL can do that and get away with such a blatant block in the back, CBS can't even cover it up on a Cowboy INT TD...
  • And then an Ole job for ANOTHER touchdown (this one for New England) so that Dallas can get the ball back down 3 in the final two minutes...
  • And we are now headed to overtime, with another Cliffhanger field goal and the third game this week to add to the 19 in the first five weeks to be decided last minute of regulation or overtime.  And this after three touchdowns in 4:21 before that drive.  But I'M the crazy one...
  • And, as Jim Cornette would say, "Look Who Won The Pony...", Dak Prescott TD in overtime and the Cowboys are 5-1!
