Day 593, Part Two: The Daily Post *Exhale* -- and the NFL Week 6 Fine Blotter

I'm sure that will eventually get a response -- and if it's as incomprehensibly idiotically formed as the first one, I'll probably have things to say about that!  So, on to the daily festivities, because we are not rid of COVID and may never be:

• In the continuing quest to make Brady the Icon of American Sport (yes, even over Foolish and Wretched One-Dimensional Ballhog), the drugged-up TB12 master became the first NFL QB to throw six hundred career touchdown passes.
• And the receiver who caught it had no idea (head coach Bruce Arians had to tell him).  He threw the ball into the stands -- and will be fined for that.  Everyone with the Bucs and Brady was trying to get the ball back, for obvious reasons.
• The fan who caught it finally gave it -- and, in return, he got:

1. Two signed Brady jerseys
2. A Buccaneer helmet
3. A third jersey, this one signed by the receiver who caught it, Mike Evans.
4. The cleats Evans wore in the game.
5. $1,000 in Buccaneer team store merchandise.
6. And season tickets to the Buccaneers through the end of NEXT SEASON.
7. And Tom Brady had one more surprise for the fan on an appearance with Eli and Peyton Monday Night:  One Bitcoin.  Unless you know, you might not think it that much.  One Bitcoin (and this is why we have fuckers completely gumming out the video-card market, etc.) is worth, as of 6:13 PM PDT 10/25/21, $62,943.

• A vaccine protest against the city of New York and in support of anti-vaxx pig Kyrie Irving marred Sunday's Brooklyn Nets home opener and put the Barclays Center on brief lockdown.  You want your freedom, Freedom To Infect types?  You're probably going to have to kill us for it!  Go to Hell! 
• Speaking of the downfall of the Chiefs:  More beatings in the backfield for Patrick Mahomes, put into the concussion protocol because of a hit to the head his offensive line could not protect.
• Not only will all athletes at next year's Winter Olympic Games in Beijing be subject to daily COVID testing, but they will be kept in a "closed loop", no contact with the outside, for their duration in the Games.
• And a COVID positive:  Packers defensive coordinator Joe Barry is positive -- will miss Thursday's 7-0 vs. 6-1 showdown with Arizona.
• And now Davante Adams has been placed on the COVID List as well for the Pack.  Positive test, meaning he needs two negatives in a 24-hour period to play Thursday night.  The game opened ARI -3.5 -- went to -4.5, and this move alone has made Arizona a 6-point favorite on Thursday night.  It is also assumed, by Adams' actions, that he is vaccinated as well.
• Another:  New report:  Chicago Bears head coach Pat Nagy announced he tested positive this morning for COVID.  All coach positives in the NFL are breakthrough by rule -- all coaches in the National Football League must be fully vaccinated.    
• Another Peyton and Eli broadcast tonight, we'll see what that does for the ratings later this week...
• Matt Hasselback was put into Seattle's Ring of Honor tonight -- said only for one reason:  Do you still want the ball, because you're gonna score???  (He will NEVER live that down in anyone's book!)   
• Another person who won't live anything down -- Peyton and Eli both got some ribbing in on Marshawn Lynch for the play-call which rigged Super Bowl XLIX for the Tom Bradys.
• Peyton??  Is this a football or a Big Mac?  "Special sauce" to break in the footballs to your liking after the rules were changed so each team could break in their own balls?
• Late word tonight:  NFL replay official Carl Madsen, 24 years as an NFL official, the last 12 of those as a replay official whose last game was Sunday's marquee Kansas City-Tennessee tilt, died on the way home from the game.  He was 71, cause of death not known at this time.

NFL Week 6 Fine Blotter, to try to keep as much of the good stuff as far up front as possible:

• Dallas Cowboys:  CeeDee Lamb waved goodbye to the Patriots after scoring the overtime game-winner against them.  He did, literally -- and got correctly fined $10,300 for taunting.
• Pittsburgh Steelers:  TJ Watt was, in fact, quite fortunate not to be ejected for punching another player in Week 6.  In trying to punch the ball out, he was punching the running back instead -- 15 yard penalty -- and a $10,815 fine for unnecessary roughness.
• Chicago Bears:  Mario Edwards, Jr.:  $9,522 for appearing to taunt Aaron Rodgers while Rodgers was grabbing his facemask.
• Speaking of Rodgers...  NFL, are we missing somebody here?  Or is the newest stockholder of the Chicago Bears immune?  He can afford the 10 grand...
