Kovidiocy karma, Kaaron? 3-3

I don't think Brady is having a lot of fun this year....nor is it the way he wanted to go out.

It's been awhile since he got laid . Might he have a losing season AND lose Gisele in the same year? Costliest un-retirement ever. 3-3

TV here, GO:

Early
Celebrity Bowling - It would be cooler if they used celebrities for the pins.
Baltimore Ravens (-5.5) at New York Giants - Giants are 4-1, they were 4-13 last year .
NYG game-winning TD with 1:43 left.

Also GO:

Early
San Francisco (-3.5) > @Atlanta
Nope, an upset stomping.
@Cleveland (-3) > New England
Nope, an upset stomping.
Jets > @Kaarons (-7.5)
Yes!
@Pittsburgh > Bradys (-9.5)
2nd string Mitch Trubisky is the hero QBRat 142.4, 20-18.

... I'm rooting for favorites 5 out of 9 games.
My favorites all lost, my underdogs both won . 2-3.

TV here, GO:

Later
Carolina Panthers at Los Angeles Rams (-10) - Yeah, right.
10-24, as predicted.
Buffalo Bills (-2.5) at Kansas City Chiefs
Did y'all see that Josh Allen hurdle during the game winning drive? I'm not sure I've ever seen an NFL QB do that. Then, he followed it up with a laser TD toss. There's no defending that.

... I'm rooting for favorites 5 out of 9 games.
This time, my underdog lost and favorite won. 3-5 on the weekend.

Congrats, Lady O.

There's something about the east. The AFC and NFC East are the strongest divisions in their conferences.
Buffalo has the solo lead of the AFC.
The NYJ are tied with KC for 2nd best in the AFC. LAC will join them if it wins toninght.
Baltimore has some tiebreaker over Cincinnati for the AFC-worst North lead at 3-3. but
Las Vegas Traitors are the worst team in the AFC.
Philly is chasing that 1972 Miami Dolphins dream.
Minnesota is starting to run away with the NFC North.
For all their woes, the Bradys are leading the NFC South at 3-3 with a tiebreaker over Atlanta.
Carolina is the worst team in the NFL.
Seattle is tied for the NFC West lead at 3-3 , but SF and then LAR hold tiebreakers over it.

The Panthers will be tons of fun to watch now!

Sigh. Maybe smart, though. The Panthers have only been getting so-so production out of him this year:
https://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/30121/
At 1-5 they've given up on 2022, while 3-3 Division leading SF has dreams now. It's time for building, I guess:

The San Francisco 49ers are sending second-, third- and fourth-round picks in 2023 and a fifth-round pick in 2024 to the Carolina Panthers for star running back Christian McCaffrey, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Thursday night....

We'll have to hope the Panthers make smart picks and do rookie development well.

[O Really]

We'll have to hope the Panthers make smart picks and do rookie development well.

The Pathetic Panthers record of doing things smart and well isn't very strong lately. Not a contenda, barely a pretenda.

Aptly described...

Goodnight, 2022 Panthers
It was the worst of times, it was the worst of times. This season is over for the Panthers. Matt Rhule is gone after his three-year reign of doing nothing besides giving pep talks to David Tepper. The Panthers definitely do not have a franchise quarterback on the roster. Star running back Christian McCaffrey was reportedly traded to the 49ers for a package of four draft picks. Robbie Anderson was basically kicked off the team during their loss to the Los Angeles Rams, in which backup quarterback P.J. Walker completed precisely one pass that traveled at least one yard downfield.

This season is over. It stinks to say that so early in the season, but this team is just lifeless. There’s a little bit of solace in knowing that the failures of this season might bring a franchise quarterback next year, but this absolutely was not the plan coming into the season. They traded for Baker Mayfield in an attempt to bring some stability to an offense that has had no stability whatsoever. The efforts of the Rhule era coming to a close resulted in the departure of McCaffrey, signifying the start of a new era in Charlotte.


With McCaffrey headed to San Francisco, the last vestiges of the 2010s Panthers are gone. That’s a little bittersweet. Cam Newton, Luke Kuechly, Thomas Davis and Greg Olsen are off to their post-football careers. McCaffrey will be wearing a new uniform soon. This is the first time in awhile the Panthers will really be flipping the page and starting over from scratch. That’s a bittersweet moment for a franchise that has played a lot of good football over the past decade.

David Tepper has fumbled the start of his ownership reign with the Panthers, that is undeniable. However, the core of this roster is not totally talentless. They seem destined to hold onto star edge rusher Brian Burns, which will be a valuable piece for whoever the new head coach is. Derrick Brown is finally growing into the defensive tackle that the Panthers drafted him to be, Jaycee Horn is a stud at cornerback and safety Jeremy Chinn is an effective player when he’s on the field. Offense is a bit of a different story, but rookie left tackle Ikem Ekonwu and wide receiver D.J. Moore are talented players to keep around as well.

It’s a new era for the Panthers. Tepper hasn’t inspired much confidence to believe that his next coaching search will be better than his first one, but hey, sometimes you just need something different to get onto the right track. C.J. Stroud and Bryce Young might want to look at properties in Charlotte — it never hurts to get a head start.

You began this tangent just to post that line, didn't you?

Not to mention Cleveland, just because it's Cleveland, and the self-titled "team" formerly known as "Redskins" on general principles.

Great, get to be "King of the Dipshits".

Yeah, but you're still "Da Bears!"

Right off, I can't think of any other sports team whose name has been more embedded in pop culture, even among non-fans.

Should never have adopted the "Second City" nickname.

Sadly for GoCubsGo, all eye level at 2-4, but everyone does look down on Snyder's Commies regardless of record.

Yeah, but you're still "Da Bears!"

'Damn Yankees' would be on the list, but I can't think of others that are close. Even the fictional 'Bad News' team were also Bears.
