After Further Review (College): We haven't even started Saturday yet...

Friday night game between Pitt and Virginia Tech.

35-33 Pitt, three seconds left, ball in the air at the gun...

This kick was declared NO GOOD...

Another team but a different conference, having a game rigged against them. @HokiesFB get robbed by the refs. #Rigged Nothing to see here.

That's now two games this year in the Power 4 (Michigan) with irrefutable evidence that the result was fucked with at the end. There may be a lot more games I say are rigged and all, but they usually don't come with this clean of irrefutable evidence.

After Further Review (College): And it's good to see this week is off to a rousing start...

First quarter, punt return for North Texas (in white and green) vs. Tulsa (in the blue):

In what universe is this not AT MINIMUM an ejection, if not investigatable???

It was flagged.

Week Three Political Stock Up, Stock Down, and three more DUD OF THE WEEK NFL nominations...

The awards have already been given out, and they're all in college.  (Though one of these two got close tonight to that hit in Oregon-USC.)

So two more NFL nominees for Dud of the Week...

DeMarco Jackson of the Bears -- for THIS...

Notice how no one on the bears defense celebrated the hit.

Everyone and their mother knew that hit was egregious. pic.twitter.com/wCncS1SL6Z

— That Hurts (@That_Hurts) September 29, 2026

As I said above, that one was CLOSE to the level of problem of that hit in Oregon-USC, but you see from the second replay that the late hit was simply a hard late hit.

That will get fined on Saturday.  And he's very fortunate there was no helmet contact, or he'd be gone and probably suspended.

The Philadelphia Eagles themselves.

What.  The fuck.  Was THAT???

That one's gonna cost you in January if the Bears and Eagles both make the playoffs.

That was only the fourth game this week not to be decided within one score.  And that looked about as bad as New England's and Green Bay's performances this week

And so it gets a place right next to them.

Now, the Stock Ups and Downs:

NFC:

Stock Up:

Chicago:  Someone said it best on X tonight.  BTA (Boots To Asses) against a supposedly elite NFC foe.  If not for whatever that was Week 2, you're 3-0.

Speaking of 3-0:  The 49ers and Vikings, the only two 3-0 teams in the conference.  Can't say either was that expected.

The NFC Norris:  The four teams in the division have eight wins between them.

The NFC Wonderful:  The four teams there?  Seven wins.

New York Giants:  Even trying to figure out who's going to quarterback that team, they are 2-1!

Stock Down:

Green Bay would be listed as a Down, but I don't know how much further down you can go.  I do think there is a very real non-zero chance that the New York Jets might get the #1 Draft Pick, through Green Bay and Dallas.

Philadelphia:  See above

Tampa Bay:  Bad news:  You're the only NFC 0-3 team.  Good news:  The three losses have only been by a total of 17 points.  And you might be favored next week anyway.  Green Bay comes to town.  (Current check, according to ESPN:  Probably not, now that I see Draft Kings has the Packers a 3.5 point favorite, up from 1.5.)

Carolina:  Will the real Carolina Panthers please...  stand up?  Are you the team that fell in a track meet to Chicago?  The one that crushed Atlanta??  Or the one who just lost to DeRapist Rapist in Cleveland???

The NFC Suck, err, South?:  3 weeks, and the four teams in your division have three wins between them, and one of them was intradivision.

Dallas:  How many more weeks or lost seasons is it gonna take before Jerreh cleans house, gets a team together that the NFL wants to have represent them as champion, and then look the Hell out???  Asking for a "friend".

AFC:

Stock Up:

Las Vegas especially:  Anyone have 3-0 for them on your scorecard?  Anyone??  Bueller?  Bueller???

Buffalo and Kansas City:  Two teams you DID have 3-0 for them on your scorecard.

Add the Broncos (not quite on this list) to Vegas and KC, that's 8 wins for the AFC Wonderful.

Baltimore:  A lot of people think they got rigged to it in Rio.  So do I.  That might mean something down the road...

Pittsburgh:  If the bullshit weren't real for the 9-8 Super Bowl first!

The AFC Norris:  All four teams 2-1, eight wins in the division.

Stock Down:

New England:  Eugh.  What was that shit?

The Dolphins, Titans, Texans, and Chargers:  All 0-3.  The Dolphins may be throwing the season, something is badly wrong in LA (both teams, so you can informally add the 1-2 Rams to the NFC Down list!), and the AFC Suck is the AFC Suck.

How bad is it?  A Minnesota team which still is figuring out THEIR QB situation is a double-digit favorite over Miami this week.  Miami has lost all three of their games by at least two touchdowns.

The AFC Suck:  Also three wins between the four teams.

2026 Week Three, Dud of the Week, IN-PROGRESS EDITION -- Part Two, The Medals

Now we head to the college game.  Not only are these the three medals (barring probably open murder or a flagrant rig in the two games left), but I've even got a #4 on this.

I want to make clear something before I do, because the medals don't usually go into the college game.

1) None of these are role players.  They're either stars or get a lot of game time.  Two are consensus top-10 draft picks.

2) At least three of these players should be incarcerated for what they did yesterday.  And there's grounds for at least a fourth, as you'll see.  At least two players on this list have been suspended from their teams.  We will almost certainly have more on that as the week goes on.

3) I have never been so disgusted with American sports in general (or an American SPORT) in general as I was after yesterday.  This isn't just a few bad apples.  This is a sport in decline.

4) For reference:  The minimum NFL salary for a rookie is $885,000.

5) I am almost certain this is NOT an exhaustive list.

HIGH-SCHOOL DISHONORABLE MENTION.  I posted about this earlier in the week, but it merits inclusion here.

#1 Ranked TE & OU Commit @SenecaDriver just Gronk Spiked a DB after an INT 😳 pic.twitter.com/doP22ACEw9

— Red Dirt Media (@RedDirtMediaCo) September 26, 2026

Seneca Driver, according to ESPN Rankings, is the #1 college recruit in the state of Kentucky and the #2 tight end in the entire country.

That was an ejection-level hit to begin with, but that probably is not enough to put the Oklahoma commit on my blog, now twice.

What DOES is the fact that we are not even to October 1, and, had that been an ejection, Driver would have been ejected and suspended for the second time this season.  Under Kentucky rules, that would've been a minimum four-game suspension.

And now, the three medalists from Saturday in college.

BRONZE MEDAL:  A joint award here in Tuscaloosa.  You can give it about 30% to the referees and 70% to star South Carolina edge rusher Dylan Stewart, who was won himself an INDEFINITE BAN from the Gamecocks team and may be THROWN OFF THE TEAM for his actions in the blowout loss.

And it's not just one act either.  TRY FIVE, INCLUDING THREE SIDELINE COACH BLOW-UPS AND AN EJECTION-LEVEL FOUL FOR A PUNCH:

South Carolina has suspended EDGE Dylan Stewart. pic.twitter.com/ARtVnkWfPr

— GUCCE (@gucceCU) September 27, 2026

That's just the Cliffs' Notes version.  At least two incidents in the second quarter, the punch in the fourth.  How he was not ejected (or just sent to the locker room), I have no idea.  (And that's the ONLY reason I give some shit to the refs on this one.)

That said, keep in mind:  This guy is a CONSENSUS TOP-FIVE PICK BEFORE THE SUSPENSION.  He makes $2,000,000 in NIL shit.

And there's only two reasons he's not a runaway winner, over even the Packers.

EDIT TO ADD MONDAY:  The SEC conference, along with South Carolina, have affirmed a one-game suspension for Stewart.  We still don't know what happens from there -- but I extremely suspicious this piece of shit has made a business decision.

The indefinite ban is still in force -- we may find out tomorrow (Tuesday 9/29) as to whether he will return to the team.

JOINT GOLD-MEDAL WINNER:  The University of Texas football team, specifically at least their coach Steve Sarkasian, Raleek Brown, Colin Simmons. and several unidentified staff.

The only reason this is a joint winner with the other one I will list is the criminal actions of the other one.

Because at least Brown and Simmons need to be in jail today, facing charges.

Why?

Because this was a nationally-televised game on ABC -- a broadcast television network in the United States, meaning that the Federal Communications Commission has jurisdiction over the broadcast...

If we are going to throw a fit over Janet Jackson (when we should be throwing a fit over Justin Timberlake instead!), then please explain to me why THIS didn't get Brown ejected and arrested for indecency, not just in Tennessee but over the Federal television airwaves:

— Mr. Salmons (@MrSalmons) September 26, 2026

$1 million in NIL, people. 

or Simmons, who was flagged for THIS.  Simmons is a projected top-10 draft pick making $2.5 million from NIL from the likes of NIKE:

Colin Simmons 2027 NFL Draft 🚩

This sack “celebration” by Simmons will become part of the conversation within NFL buildings leading up to the draft. The question will be, “Is this the kind of behavior we want representing us?”

It sheds light into Simmons character, his level… pic.twitter.com/B3Bj4ir4s9

— FIRST ROUND MOCK (@firstroundmock) September 27, 2026

Again, for emphasis:  I am not speaking of the concept these acts happened on the Tennessee field, except for statute jurisdiction in general.  These acts took place on FCC NATIONAL BROADCAST TELEVISION! 

And there are NFL teams, as I told First Round Mock, who would gladly take this attitude, especially with the five sacks he had in the game that went with it!

And, though those two got most of the attention, someone found THIS from after the game on top of it!

— Stephanie Otey (@StephOtey) September 26, 2026

As of today -- and this can obviously change (just ask Michigan, who got last-played by Iowa this week!) -- I think we have our current idea:  Texas is the national champion, they've been told it, and they know it.  Anything to pimp Arch Manning as the #1 draft pick, which, at this point, is looking headed to either the Dolphins or the Jets (through the Packers and Cowboys).

And don't forget:  PIGFUCKER WAS THERE!

So a message to Pigfucker:  You are not going to Save College Sports until NIL is ERADICATED.  These are professional players who believe they are above the rules, their coaches, and everything else.

Texas is the #1 team in the nation also in NIL money:  $47,500,000 according to what sources can be found.

But there was a criminal act on Saturday so egregious that it has to share the gold, and for that, we go to California:

JOINT GOLD MEDAL:  Desman Stephens II, for an injurious criminal act.  He's been suspended one game by the team and should be suspended more by the Big Ten.

This was the play:

Easy ejection and just a dirty hit. This type of action needs to be removed from the game entirely. Moore is clearly giving himself up. pic.twitter.com/C7a69DGTaP

This was after:

DESMAN STEPHENS SEEN SMILING AND DAPPING UP USC PLAYERS AFTER A DIRTY HIT ON DANTE MOORE JUST SICK pic.twitter.com/R9xBwvUaCm

— FD (@flooduck) September 27, 2026

That was assault, and his actions on the sideline indicate malice aforethought.  The quarterback (Dante Moore of Oregon) was not going to be hit until he started sliding (hence, ending the play), where Stephens laid the lumber to the tune of a 15-minute stoppage in the game and the Oregon quarterback taken from the field in an ambulance.  Moore is now out indefinitely with a concussion, though reports from Oregon indicate it may be no more than a concussion, so it's a question of how bad it is going forward.

$425,000 by the way.

Desman Stephens II SHOULD BE ARRESTED FOR ASSAULT.  Dino Cicarelli his ass!

Here's another college football example of the game out of control...

Another pet peeve of mine:

It's all about the quarterback.

So the quickest way to victory on the field?

INJURE HIS ASS WITH A CHEAP SHOT!

Oregon-USC:

Sliding feet 1st was supposed to be a way to protect QBs, instead it's turned into an easy head shot: pic.twitter.com/VHAeQeIy9E

— College Sports Only (@CSOonX) September 27, 2026

If I'm the referee, that's an Oregon touchdown for the flagrant foul plus the unsportsmanlike action afterward.

And I eject the USC player TWICE.  Once for the hit, another for flagrant intent to injure.

The quarterback was taken in an ambulance.  The USC player smiled on the sidelines.

Arrest that cocksucker too.  Assault and battery, intent to do grave harm.

You know what?  Green Bay MIGHT get off the hook at the rate things are going.

Further comments on social-media buzz of the out-of-control nature of football...

#1:  The SEC needs action against Coach Sarkasian of Texas.  It is clear he is fully excusing the conduct of his players, even though...

#2:  Colin Simmons and Raleek Brown should be arrested and thrown in a local jail tonight.

I am not kidding, nor am I saying metaphorically because their actions took place on the Tennessee field.

Both of them not only violated FCC indecency laws which are going to bring broadcast partner ABC onto the carpet, but at least Simmons violated Tennessee's indecency laws.

Don't believe me?  Read the definition of "nudity" under Tennessee's indecency statute:

"(1) “Nudity” or “state of nudity” means the showing of the bare human male or female genitals or pubic area with less than a fully opaque covering, the showing of the female breast with less than a fully opaque covering of the areola, or the showing of the covered male genitals in a discernibly turgid state. Nudity or state of nudity does not include a mother in the act of nursing the mother's baby;"

When Simmons represented himself as putting his fist in front of his crotch, he was representing a penis in turgid state, as if FOOBAW MAN FROM TEXASS (read:  God...) had the biggest dick in the stadium and wasn't afraid to show it.

He should be EXPELLED from the University of Texas, so should Brown.

He won't be.  He's GOD because he's FOOBAW MAN FROM TEXASS...

And this shithead Simmons is making $2,500,000 in NIL money from the likes of Dodge Ram and Nike.

Don't bother asking for boycotts or removals.  Someone will just take his place.

Speaking of God, maybe this one from another state heading to Oklahoma...

And he did all this with Pigfucker in attendance?  Hell, Kegsbreath is probably creaming about this sow!

#3, I want to reiterate something from the other incident really making the rounds this afternoon -- the slam tackle from the #1 tight-end recruit heading to Oklahoma.

He was ejected and suspended a game for unsportsmanlike conduct earlier this season.

He should've been ejected from last night's game for injurious conduct, one of the definitions of a flagrant (disqualification) high-school football foul.

We haven't even hit October 1st yet.  Let that process.

Look, I might have some issues with the FOOBAW MAN, but you better have a DAMN GOOD REASON for that one...

Pat McAfee got one right between the eyes on Monday.

And I'm not surprised I can't find audio or video to back it up.

On Monday, Pat got a Tweet from someone who wanted to see him "Kirk'd on air live."

And he asked what that meant...

The show basically stopped when they all realized it was a call for assassination.

I'm sure McAfee is a right-wing prick -- given his time in WWE and now on ESPN.

But that is quite the stretch...  Unless you're willing to try to pull it off.

Take it from someone who knows.

Tick Tock, next part: The courts weigh in somewhat...

A circuit judge has banned the SEC from banning professional athletes from returning to college football and men's basketball.

This, on the same day the ACC made it an across-the-board ban of those athletes for football and men's basketball.

Tick tock...

Youth Sports. ESPN. Bad Idea: Part Two.

I will be STUNNED if we get through the 10-day tournament in Williamsport, PA without a violent incident.

The qualifiers from Davenport, IA are the center of a Houston Astros-like sign-stealing exhibition, according to MSN reports.

It's the "runner on second" who taps his leg to let the batter know what pitch is coming, says the team from Wisconsin.

Someone is going to take a fastball to the dome in this tournament.

And yet another story of why youth sports on ESPN is a BAD IDEA...

Every year, we seem to get at least one story a year as to someone breaching the rules to try to get their local sports on the Little League World Series (and softball as well) on ESPN.

Developing story out of Tulsa, Oklahoma.

The Tulsa National softball team was disqualified at the championship game (one before they would go on ESPN for the Softball World Series, completed Sunday) for an ineligible player.

And now the story gets even messier:  The same has happened to the baseball team from that very same organization.  Disqualified at the championship game, as they were waiting to see who they would play.

No less than three other organizations in the tournament protested, giving at least five charges that the baseball team was also illegal.

Stay tuned.  I could foresee this getting all the way to arrests.

UPDATE:  They sued and won.  They'll play for the ESPN berth Tuesday.

AND ANOTHER TUESDAY AFTERNOON:  A higher judge reversed the decision.  Tulsa National is OUT.

Yeah, it's kinda that time...

Things slow down a bit for many (except for those who think every game they lose is rigged in Daily Fantasy)...

Here are a few things, though, to show I'm still here...  For now...

• What could probably deserve a longer form situation is NIL's impact on March Madness.  The only real upset of the tournament was High Point beating a badly overrated Wisconsin team in a 5-12 upset.  Two years in a row now, the 13-14-15 seeds went 0-12.  There is now at least a groundswell of a call to basically end the Madness part of it and push the one-bid conferences to the NIT entirely.
• As a result, we do have a new record perfect bracket, kinda.  For the first time in history (Center Road's -- which is still the record at 49 -- was in the Yahoo! game), ESPN actually got a perfect bracket into Day Four -- then Florida being upset blew it all up after 43 wins to start the tournament. 
• A darker story of some human interest:  The good news is that there is a quadruple amputee (hands and feet) in Maryland who has somehow gained the skill to play professional cornhole.
• The bad news is that, allegedly, he has also gained the skill to do something else:  Shoot a gun.  Dayton Webber is being charged with Murder 1, Murder 2, and other charges for shooting someone he had an argument with.

Super Bowl ICE: A betting tidbit with an ominous undertone...

It's the Friday before the Super Bowl, and ESPN has taken the pulse of the Las Vegas betting landscape on the game.

The books apparently will win nicely if it's a defensive struggle -- and the second reason they want it, given what has happened across American sports with the legalization of state gambling in about 3/4 of the states, should raise eyebrows.

The first reason is, after the institutional bettors slammed the total under at 46.5 when it opened after the conference championship games (moving the line to 45.5), the books expect the public to really hit the over on the game, thinking the NFL is going to want a high-scoring Fantastic Finish.

In fact, as of right now, at least two major books are reporting a slight skew of bets to the over.

The second reason is that a LOT of money is going down on spot-fixing abuse bets -- the props.  The passing yards and "anytime touchdowns" apparently are getting big numbers.  So big, Jason Smith-Njigba and Kenneth Walker III of the Seahawks are odds-on bets to get in the end zone at some point in Super Bowl LX.

(Kind of interesting when the current line and total indicate something of the order of 26-20 Seahawks.) 

Super Bowl ICE: As expected, the Seahawks are far heavier favorites than Vegas has them to be...

And now we are getting the predictions, and they are about as expected.

ESPN has the Seahawks has heavy favorites among their cadre of NFL experts.

47 of the 57 polled believe they will win.

30 of them believe they will cover the 4.5.

20 of them believe they will win by double digits.  The Bengals reporter has them winning 30-10.

Let's be blunt:  The only reason the Patriots are here is government propaganda -- Patriots Are Champions.  It is clear that the Seahawks are the better of the two teams.

And, in the last few days, it appears that there may be the first angle that actually would have the Seahawks win the game, but it would require that the Trumpies stay out of it.

More on that later. 

Super Bowl ICE: I think we have the actual answer on Seattle now...

I said on Sunday that I felt that the reason the NFL chose Seattle was it's cult-like fanbase, The 12th Man.

And that might be partially true.

But it has now been made apparent that we probably have the actual full answer:  ESPN sources have been told the Seahawks will be for sale after the Super Bowl.

Bingo. 

And it sounds to me that, finally, the entire system may be falling apart... (CFP/Bowls)

It's about 15 minutes after the most bullshit CFP reveal, and, already, there are five pieces of news coming from it.

1. Alabama gets rim-jobbed to #9, even though they got completely blown out by Georgia.  I get that the counter-argument is "why play the conference championship game at that point", but the fact is you wouldn't do that if it weren't a blueblood like Alabama.  There was even talk that completely doing this could end the concept of conference championship games.
2. The committee puts Miami in at #10, even though the conference was won by an 8-5 Duke team which will be nowhere near the tournament.  This should, in the spirit of all the years Boise State never got a BCS title shot, disqualify all teams from the ACC.  The ACC is teetering off the cliff of being "Power 4" (more like Power 3 at this point!), and the fact that a substandard team won the conference should reflect on the rest of the conference vis-a-vis CFP bids.  Another preference to the bluebloods.
3. This removes Notre Dame, and Texas (below even BYU) from the tournament.  I have no issue with James Madison (a second Go5 conference champion) getting in -- that is the rules of the situation.  I have issue with Alabama getting in because of their blowout loss to Georgia, and I have issue with any ACC team getting in.  That would mean Texas and probably BYU at that point, since Miami beat Notre Dame.  (It does appear that Miami got in because of the HTH win over Notre Dame, which makes sense.
4. But this out of the Big XII.  Iowa State AND Kansas State have both refused their bowl bids already.
5. And, hence, both teams have been fined $500,000 by the conference themselves.  This is going to seriously gunk up the situation, and may create a situation where more teams might refuse.  There's already word Auburn may also refuse. 

And more evidence this ESPN deal is bad for football...

"Seven hours of commercial-free football..." is no longer commercial-free.

Pat McAfee announced today that part of the NFL-ownership of ESPN is going to be that the RedZone channel will now have full commercials.

One can only hope that the commercials will be spaced out (early in games, not during the classic "Witching Hour"), but that has to be doubtful.

Wonder what my former "friends" at the pirate site I used to drive up the wall about the games being rigged -- that is, until I found out that the main person behind Baked (as in 420'd) was a Trump supporter... -- are going to think about full ads in the RedZone coverage. 

After two years off, it's time for a 2025-26 NFL Predictions Post

First off, a couple of things:

 

1) The NFL got caught red-handed for Super Bowl Week last year.

 

The NFL had to openly address the rigging of games on Super Bowl Week -- and it was, thence, no coincidence at all that the Eagles won one of the worst (and most lop-sided) Super Bowls in recent memory.

 

What basically became clear was the NFL got nailed for the last couple of years being so blatantly rigged for the Chiefs.  And, especially with last week's news of the Swift-Kelce engagement, only that the NFL got called on it's blatant pimping of the Chiefs to their faces finally got them to back off -- and the game which resulted showed that the Chiefs had no business in that Super Bowl in the first place.

 

And then there's Pigfucker and all that...  One of the reasons I am genuinely surprised the engagement took place.  Kelce, apparently, had little problem bending the knee upon command, which made me surprised that the wedding is still on.  Especially true with Swift showing her pussy...  (CAT), in telling the world she opposed the Pigfucker.

 

2) I have made no secret that ESPN has made itself to get into the business of college football -- and they may finally be willing to consummate the whole Penn State debacle into a national title this year...

 

... but that's not this post.

 

Whatever the result, I do get the idea there will be even more games than some years to pump money into the ESPN-NFL semi-merger.  This means more Cliffhangers and more games relevant late in the season.

 

I'd wager money I don't have that there could be more games decided late in the fourth quarter (you know, at least for the early games, that "Witching Hour" where the NFL rigs losses into wins and wins into losses...)...

 

Gets banned from Baked again...

Oops.  

On to the picks...

AFC: 

East:  The real question, to me, in the East is whether they can keep Tua on his feet the entire year.  Especially given the marriage back into college football, I could easily see them picking Tua and the Dolphins, if but only if they can keep him afloat.  I know everybody thinking about Buffalo, but you can't (which see Green Bay) keep only at some level for so long and not have people wondering.

Miami if Tua stays afloat, Buffalo if not.

North:  So that's where COVIDIOT-whatever his number is going to be this year landed.  And no, I can't blame the disgust of Urinating Tree -- not only for being such a self-centered idiot, but a supporter of Pigfucker and RFK Jr. as well.  This will probably be the most-pimped run of the year, with Rodgers and Lamar both in the same division.

Obviously, Rodgers won't be around long, but I do think Lamar takes it.

Ravens if Lamar can last the season, Pittsburgh if not.

South:  The two South divisions are just open jokes.

Race to 9.  Wins. Whoever gets there first, gets the division.  Jacksonville?

West:  Kansas City.  NEXT!! 

Wildcards, assuming health:  Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati.

Over-under on Shedeur Frauders seeing the field:  Week 8.

NFC:

East:   All I know is that it won't be Dallas after they threw in the towel with the Micah Parsons dump.

Washington for the Pigfucker, the defending champs in Philly have to be a factor, and the Giants are just a joke.

Go with Philly with enough Tush Pushes to get there.

North:  Could, again, be the best division in football this year. But be careful of being a fan of the Packers or Lions.  Lions probably have the slight edge because, if the NFL "lets go" and lets the best team win, it's not in Green Bay.

Even with Parsons on the Packers, it's in Detroit.

South:  Tampa by default.

West:   Much of the NFC is a stinkeroo except for the North and East, when you look at it.

Probably the Rams by default.

Super Bowl:  I, too, like ESPN's one guy posted today, kinda like the Lions (best and best coached) vs. the Ravens (with Lamar), but serious looks have to be given to Washington (Trump) and Green Bay (rural, hence Trump) with Kansas City (The American Royal Wedding) in the AFC.

So Lions vs. Ravens. 

The Worldwide Leader in Snorts Is Now Part of the National Religion

What might be the far bigger story of the pair, in reality, of the two I speak about in my relaunch article is that, a month or two ago, the NFL announced a partnership with ESPN that finally consummates what started with the NFL's cancellation of ESPN's Playmakers drama that came a little bit too close to home.

The NFL now owns ESPN in truth and actuality.

Or at least 10% of it.

In exchange for a whale of an amount of money, ESPN is now 10% owned by the NFL -- a fact which really should surprise nobody.

In fact, one of a number of launch promotions of the new partnership will allow, the NFL will allow their Redzone channel, the NFL Network, and ESPN to team up for forty dollars a month.

(Yay.  More Pay-TV.  Probably would pirate the shit if I didn't find out my main pirate source's main administrator wasn't a flaming Trumpie.)

(Probably lots to talk about about THAT too...)

But this partnership also means that the NFL and college football can work even closer together than they do now.

And that indicates even more skullduggery ahead.  Especially in a season after the NFL was uncategorically caught in it's skullduggery.

(One of the reasons I cannot take outside of face value a recent major NFL reporter on ESPN actually calling Ravens vs. Lions as the Super Bowl pick...)

(More on that...  Next post...) 

Rare egg on my face, but because of reality, no apology for it.

OK, maybe to ABC a little...

Twice (and several times on Twitter), because I never saw the Christofascist's face, I blasted ABC both here and on Twitter/X for having Matt Walsh on this season of Dancing With The Stars.

Walsh was eliminated first, with a score of 12/30 by the judges, last night.

Except...  and I have to be fair with it.

It wasn't Christofascist Walshblog.

It's THIS Matt Walsh, a 49-year-old American Comedian.

------------------

But I have no apology, for several reasons.

First, one endemic to the show itself:  One of the reasons I threw the show down after Debbie Gibson's elimination in Season 25 is that I found out a dirty little secret about the event...

Some of the performances are two-person affairs -- others are ensemble production numbers.  And they are scored with the same merit, and that can be used as a device for the producers and production to cover for poorer dancers they want to remain on the show.

(Well, that and what I called "21st century ignorami" among the voting viewer-base, but the above is the more prescient to the blog.)

Second, I point back to the post I made reference to.

I never saw the cocksucking fascist's face -- and, bluntly, probably do believe he has a greater following online than the comedian who appeared last night.

And I do believe that the television networks, in the eventual quest to make reality lethal post-dystopian fictional programs as The Purge, The Hunger Games, Squid Game, and The Running Man in the ever-increasing merging of news and entertainment, want more people like that fat bigot sow Tyrus around to make life "more exciting", "more watchable", and, hence, more profitable.

Third, I also make reference to "This is what happens when you get to the point where every day becomes an adrenaline rush of the order of survival."  

There's too much going on.  Every day.

And it threatens the lives and sacred honors of people like my friends, some of whom in the transgender community.

And I believe we are losing the fight.  I know of the purported ABC News poll stating that Biden is 9-10 behind Trump now.

Whether I believe that or not, there is the reality that, outside NY and CA, he's losing by about 5-6 -- which is about the total margin, versus the national vote total, he won the two states by three years ago.

I truly, in no way, shape, nor form, understand what the problem is with transgenderism.

They are not child molesters, they are not rapists, they want nothing to do with but their own lives.

And yet, this is how they are treated.

And then fourth, the show still has child-beater Adrian Peterson on.  But that's OK...  FOOBAW!!!

So I don't apologize to ABC but for the factual error.  I do wonder how someone wouldn't have caught it and told me -- either a reader here or someone on X/Twitter.  Even if it was a Nelson Muntz.

You try living with a conscience, knowing you (speaking only for myself) can be the kind of monster people have thought you always have been.

Walk a mile in our boots and shoes.

You want to see how bad it is?  Just as I was finishing up this post, my anonymous friend pinged me and let me know that Michigan State University -- and WITH CAUSE (so no money nor severance) -- has officially fired football head coach Mel Tucker.

A Mel Tucker who took the university's (false, but at least they did it) efforts to try to clean up some of the Alpha Male pro-rape bullshit in FOOBAW!!! and took a steaming shit all over it by propositioning the female speaker -- a rape survivor in her own right -- in the same manner the speaker was brought to the team to try to prevent.

Just like a certain orange hobogoblin, for whom you can't spell his fat rump or a dump, without "ump".
