September 17, 2023 News and Notes

• Damar Hamlin out again.
• Max Verstappen's consecutive F1 wins streak ends as he qualified too poorly to win in Singapore.
  
• NFL Week 2 far more like the Goodell...
• Looks like at least four direct rig-jobs this week.
• Atlanta over the Packers (2nd quarter DPI no-call, league orders to shut down the Packers so Atlanta wins this week.)
• Seattle over Detroit (Do I need to explain?)
• KC over Jacksonville (No-call late RTP benefitting the Chiefs in a low-scoring game.)
• And probably rigged play of the year so far (between that and the 9/11 punt return) (Flagrant DPI was not called to send the Denver-Washington game to overtime.  Washington wins as a result.)
• Scoring average entering the back primetime trio is almost 52.
• Comebacks from 21-3 and 28-7.
• No Politicals til after tomorrow's doubleheader -- each conference has one tomorrow.
• Congratulations to the Orioles, Rays, and Dodgers, who made the postseason this weekend.
• The Dodgers won the NL West.
• The other two still have work to do on the AL East vs. the #4 seed.
• Mike Babcock is now under league investigation for forcing players to show him their cellphones and some of the pictures thereon.
• He has "resigned" as coach of the Columbus Blue Jackets as a result.
• For the first time in over ten years, Alabama is no longer considered one of the top 10 college football teams in the nation.
