[Vrede too]

Somebody may have been spoken too harshly at the half.

The romp is on while the Texan O has done nothing all game.
Edit, halfway through the 4th: The Texan D is worn out.

Lamar - 2 pass TD, 2 run TD. MVP!

Mirroring the 1st game through the first half.
GoIrrelevancyGo, breakout like the Ravens did.

San Francisco defense WTF?

They're either falling down, giving up big pass interference penalties or not bothering to cover at all.

GO:

4:30 PM ESPN/ABC/ESPN+
@Ravens (-9.5!) > Texans. Again unanimous.

8:15 PM FOX
@49ers (-9.5!) > Packers

Could be 2 blowouts. For Saturday we are a No Trash Talk zone.

1 blowout, 1 heart attack, BRD crushes it, barely in SF. Unlike pulp fiction and Hollywood, irl I'm PURDY sure that LOVE does not always triumph. It would be interesting to see how Brock Irrelevant matches up against all the QBs drafted above him.

What a Stupid Effing Pass!

Jordan will rightfully take heat until Sept, but the entire team including the PK put the first year starter in the position of having to execute a game tying or winning drive.

Sorry, but youngest team in the NFL, they'll be back in the Playoffs for a few years to come.

@Lions (12-5, -6) > Buccaneers (9-8). Winner goes to vulnerable SF. We're unanimously not anti-Detroit.https://www.espn.com/sports-betting/sto ... r-bowl-run

... According to ESPN Stats & Information, since Nevada legalized sports betting in 1949, Detroit's consensus 6.5-point favorite status for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay is its largest ever in the playoffs. It surpasses the Lions as a 4-point favorite against the Dallas Cowboys in the 1970 divisional round, a game Detroit would lose 5-0....

This is the first time in franchise history that the Lions have hosted two playoff games in a single postseason, and should they win, it will mark the first time since 1957 that they won multiple playoff games. They are one of four NFL franchises to never appear in a Super Bowl, along with fellow divisional round contender Houston, eliminated Cleveland and Jacksonville, which missed the postseason after a 1-5 finish.

... One aspect influencing the public's confidence and the books' deference to the Lions is the enormous coaching presence from the sideline. According to ESPN Stats & Information, Detroit is 35-17 against the spread in three seasons under Dan Campbell, the best record in the NFL in that span. Campbell is 39-25 ATS in his career -- including 12 games as the Miami Dolphins interim coach in 2015 -- which is the best mark of any coach since the 1970 merger with at least three seasons....

Go Kittens!

6:30 PM CBS
@Bills (11-6, -3) > KC (11-6). Vegas is crediting Buffalo with the homefield edge, no more nor less. Winner goes to dominant Baltimore. Our first real conflict comes on the last game of the weekend. Younger True Grit/Pitch Perfect vs taller, richer Eras.

[O Really]

Yo what was that chant thingy the Ravens fans were doing?

[O Really]

Our first real conflict comes on the last game of the weekend. Younger True Grit/Pitch Perfect vs taller, richer Eras.

Or, the team named for leaders of plains indigenous peoples who depended on the buffalo for survival and hunted only to sustain vs. the team named for a guy who was never in their city and credited with, and nicknamed for, butchering over 4,000 buffalos. Nice logo on the side of the Bills' helmets - shoulda named the team "Bison". "Buffalo Bison" has a good sound to it. Or they could have been the "Roam" but that's more like a soccer team.

The White Stripes - Seven Nation Army (Official Music Video)

Ravens fans aren't very original:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Nation_Army

... "Seven Nation Army" has become a sports anthem, commonly appearing in audience chants in which a series of "oh" sounds or the name of an athlete is sung to the tune of the song's riff. It has also served as a theme song for sports teams, personalities, and events, including the 2018 FIFA World Cup. The song has grown in popularity due to its usage in sports ...

In 2012, Deadspin's Alan Siegel described the "riff-turned-anthem" as "ubiquitous", and according to The New Yorker's Alec Wilkinson, the riff "might be the second-best-known guitar phrase in popular music, after the one from 'Satisfaction'". Erik Adams of The A.V. Club attributed the song's popularity to its riff's "simplicity"—a characteristic that he remarked makes the song "instantly familiar" and "instantly memorized"—and Nate Sloan said that the four notes following the riff's first note create a feeling of "urgency that makes [the riff] much more memorable"....

Lyrics

Nothing suggestive of tomahawks, but there's this adaptation that implies a different gesture altogether :


Ben Comeau - Fugue on "Donald Trump is a Wanker" - Reupload [720p]

I'm going to remember that phrase every time I hear the riff. Your Mum would have been proud.

EDIT:

... British composer Ben Comeau’s protest fugue, “Donald Trump is a wanker,” the decidedly un-fugue-like lyrics incongruously performed with tongue-flipped r’s and careful enunciation. These words form his fugue subject, which is set to the riff from the White Stripes’ “Seven Nation Army.” Other than the lyrics and syncopated subject, the piece is a straightforward fugue, with a subject, answer, countersubject, exposition, episodes, return, and coda. Comeau donates half of the proceeds from sales to organizations countering Trump’s policies, such as the Citizen’s Climate Lobby and organizations supporting migrants....

"End Racism" is painted in big letters at the back of at least one of the end zones. Cool, but I wonder what's up with that choice.

10-10 half just like the Ravens game. Now 17-10 Lions. Romp like the Ravens did, too.

Sure, it's apt there, but still some exec said that this is what the end zone needs. Has it been there all season?

Okay, TB 1st and 90 yards, 1:59 left. Deeefence, deeefence . . . and a nice INT as I'm typing that.


You and I are 3 for 3.
