Colts owner Jim Irsay? What does he have to do with DC and the Cowboys?

Nothing at all. That comment had to do with the length of my sports grudges.

Generational grudges? It was dead Daddy Bob who moved the Colts.

ehhh, I don't take it seriously, just fun, but I do think when an owner moves a team, they should have to rename it and start over, leaving the name and records in the old city - like the Browns had to do. Nobody calls the Ravens "traitors" because they started fresh. Nobody would call the Titans "traitors", at least not recently, because everybody has forgotten they used to be Oilers.

It may not matter much if you're the Raiders, though. They've moved around enough just to be called "Raiders" without a city designation.

I have hated the Packers for years.

I haven't forgiven the Padres for 1984.

I haven't forgiven the Marlins for 2003.

The Cowboys and Yankees are hated on principle.

No plans to change any of that.

[O Really]

Some things are unforgivable. And some teams just beg to be hated.

I'm working on recovering from my Patriots hatred.
The Cowboys and the MAGA Jets will suck until their owners die or sell - suck vs anyone, O Really.
The Astros are cheaters.
The LA Traitors are, well, traitors who moved to a city that already had a team.
There is no redemption for Bama, Clemson, Georgia, and any RW religious school.
I'm on the fence about BCC.

[O Really]

BCC?

[GoCubsGo]

BCC?

Bristol Community College.

[Vrede too]

BCC?

Seriously?

Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School.

Walter Johnson rules!

The Raiders officially suck. I wonder if they’re losing on purpose to get a higher draft pick for next year. We desperately need a young and talented QB.

Looking good, Jasmine! I like the cartoon androgynous style and the team enthusiasm.

Opps. Didn't know high schools were included.

Ravens (-3) > @Chargers. RAVENS!

Inside John Harbaugh's daring 4th-down decision that turned the Harbowl in Ravens' favor over Chargers

... For the Ravens (8-4), the victory was an ideal bounce-back after last week’s costly loss to rival Pittsburgh. Now they’re only a half game out of first place in the AFC North and still firmly among the top contenders to Kansas City’s AFC throne....

Phew

7-4 for the week.

AFC East Bills lead one of the 3 worst NFL divisions by a wide margin.
Ravens are 1/2 game behind the Steelers in the AFC North. Baltimore is in WC #1 position.
Texans lead the AFC South, another of the 3 worst divisions.
KC, of course , is close to wrapping up the AFC West, the strongest AFC division (other than the Raiders ). LA Traitors are in WC #2 position . Broncos are leading for WC #3 .

Eagles have expanded their lead in the NFC East . DC is barely leading for WC #3 .
Invincible Lions lead the NFC North , the strongest NFL division partly by virtue of everybody beating up on the Bears . Vikings are in WC #1 position and Packers are in WC #2 position .
Falcons lead the 3rd of the 3 worst NFL divisions, the NFC South.
The 6-5 Seahawks have the tiebreaker over the Cards in the NFC West . GoLady OGo! They are only 1 game ahead of the Rams and 49ers in this most mediocre division.

Bears vs @Lions (-9.5) Go football. Good luck, GoCubsGo. Sorry, I love what Detroit is doing, but what a coup it will be if Chicago beats the unbeatable. The Lions have scored 360 in 11 games, 40 more that the 2nd place Bills. That's 33 a game! Their differential is +177, 16 a game, an even wider margin over the rest of the NFL.

Dolphins vs @Packers (-3.5) Go football. Good luck, O Really. Friendship or socialism, I've faced this dilemma before.

[O Really]

Detroit deserves their place, but a loss now wouldn't ruin their season or post-season. Go Bears!

The Packers were named after the "Indian Packing Company", a meat packing place. I don't know if they also packed fish. We'll see. (yes, I know that real dolphins aren't fish.)

[GoCubsGo]

I'm just hoping we don't embarrass ourselves.

Mission accomplished.

Edit: Well, kinda embarrassing.

Lions: Never 11-1 before.

Chicago came in having been sacked a league-leading 44 times. Add 5, 4+ times per game. Some are Caleb's fault, as we saw today. Others . . . ? Maybe protecting their investment should become THE priority. Give the other strings some experience.

Nope, Cowboys win the Loser Bowl 20-27.

I'm 0-1.

Socialism triumphs 17-30, sorry.

The O line was my bitch before the season. You can't throw to your "weapons" from your back or running for your life.

That and a new HC are the off-season priorities. I'm lobbying for the Detroit OC.

Hopefully Caleb doesn't get spooked for life.

Chicago wants Eberflus' head on a Thanksgiving platter.
