The Day of Good King Wenceslas

  • Or at least when he went out...
  • We have another possible coordinated power grid attack.  14,000 in Washington were taken off the grid Christmas morning -- three power stations attacked.
  • Now a fourth attack reported.
  • And massive looting going on in Buffalo after the bomb cyclone went through.
  • "Trump Christmas Message Turns Into Tirade"...  In short, the Fat Orange Pig opened his trap.
  • And Greg Abbott sent, as his Christmas present to Kamala Harris, a busful of refugees from the border -- in the bomb cyclone hitting most of the country.
  • Six shot, two killed in New Orleans:  All six victims were between the ages of 17 and 19.
  • It, unfortunately, is beginning to appear as if Pele may be the "I'm taking the year with me" candidate.  Health is worsening, family is gathering in Sao Paulo.
  • And that quit-job in LA yesterday was the final straw:  Denver fired their coach today.
  • And a post-game fight:
For which the following occurred:
  • Los Angeles Rams:  Oday Aboushi
  • Denver Broncos:  and Randy Gregory, both banned for the Week 17 game as a result.
The fact that it probably happened in front of the national media situation and may have endangered it was a factor.
  • And it looks like the final throwing in of the towel for Miami has occurred.  Tua is back in the concussion protocol.  A protocol he never should've left!!!   
  • And that might be it for Gregory in Denver.  Playing only his second game since Week 4, he could be fined twice further by the NFL:  Unsportsmanlike Conduct for throwing his helmet after a Ram touchdown, and a late hit on the Rams quarterback.
  • The now-former coach yanked him from the game both times.  You know what?  One game???  I think suspending Gregory both remaining games is well in line here.  And if the league won't, the Broncos need to go ahead and suspend him, go through the NFLPA to determine if he gets the money for Week 18, and cut his ass in the offseason. 
  • And a good chance there's another one from the Monday nighter who should get the same:  Derwin James will be suspended for this spearing hit -- and it came two plays after he got flagged for a face mask.  James was tossed.
  • There was also discussion in Supplementary Discipline of New England quarterback Mac Jones and charges of dirty play against Cincinnati.

  1. They should suspend Gregory. As a Bronco fan, I think he never should have come back. It was that (along with a few other things) that led to Hackett's firing (that would have happened a few months ago if Trevor Lawrence wouldn't have played badly against Denver in their London matchup).

    1. Given the full-game conduct, I'd have suspended him both games and let the PA appeal it, and now I think the Broncos need to do it -- probably from the front office.
