EDIT: First blood! Sleeveless Lamar Jackson in 'da house!

And two three TO's. Shoulda worn sleeves.
Can't do that vs the Bills.

Glad you got CBS back in the nick of time.
Thanks, though I'm on the verge of regretting it.

No credit card to Paramount plus?

Useless, is that you?
Not for a free trial. I'm cautious with online finance stuff and I don't like opt-out deals.

[O Really]

I would have thought there'd be OTA there. Out of Spartanburg?

[Vrede too]

OTA reception was poor in the past, but I didn't think of trying again.

Saquon Barkley 'chasing greatness' with 205-yard performance

Running back Saquon Barkley set a new franchise record for rushing yards in a postseason game with 205 to propel the Philadelphia Eagles past the Los Angeles Rams 28-22 in the NFC divisional round on Sunday.

Barkley now has the third-most rushing yards in a season, including playoffs, in NFL history with 2,329. He trails only Terrell Davis' marks of 2,331 yards in 1997 and 2,476 yards in 1998.

He'll pass 2,331 and might set the record in one game, definitely will in two.

... Barkley passed a franchise mark for most rushing yards in a playoff game set by Steve Van Buren (196) in 1949, also against the L.A. Rams....

Eagles RBs eat Ram for lunch.

Barkley's 205 rushing yards are the fifth most in postseason history. He joins Eric Dickerson as the only players to have a 200-yard rushing game in the regular season and one in the playoffs in their career....

2-0 now, I'm guessing that Saquon and the Iggles wouldn't change anything about resting Week 17.

Sorry, overtime would've been epic.

89 had a rough, rough day.

[O Really]

If "Wide World of Sports" was still on, they could use that dropped pass for the "agony of defeat."

I'm on a free trial with youtube tv. I like it, but probably not for $82 a month compared to $45 a month for sling.

Just got to remember to cancel Monday night. I've set a calendar reminder.

Small consolation, it didn't necessarily mean they'd win.

[Vrede too]

My tendency to forget to cancel is a big part of the issue.

And week 4 games mean nothing in week 20.

And week 4 games mean nothing in week 20.

2 point game after 2 failed 2-point tries.
Josh Allen RTG 86.7
Sleeveless Lamar Jackson RTG 114.4

I don't think sleeves help, either.

Does that factor Allen's two rushing TDs and Lamar's fumble?

3:00 PM FOX
NFC Championship
GO 6 DC (12-5) > @2 Eagles (14-3) -5.5

6:30 PM CBS/Paramount+
AFC Championship
GO 2 Bills (13-4) > @1 KC (15-2) -2

Some say that the NFL favors KC in order to retain the Swiftie viewership. I think that's unfair to the refs. It could just be that they have tween daughters and granddaughters.

I think:
GoCubsGo and O Really both want the Iggles
GoCubsGo wants the Bills
O Really wants TayTay

Let me know if I'm wrong. Anyone else?

From your Nov 28 lips,

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.

Why did they waste 2 months on an interview process when they could have just announced that, "GoCubsGo has spoken"? Seems like poor clock management, again, to me.

Maybe he'll hire some assistants from DC.

[GoCubsGo]

At 101, Virginia is getting a little hard of hearing these days.

Guess I need to speak louder.

Hailees > Swifties

In happier times, i.e. before last weekend:


Hailee sneering about getting engaged first:


TayTay just before breaking down and attempting to wring Hailee's neck:


I'm not expecting them to share a box.

GoHaileesGo!



Unscientific:

Sun Poll
Does Mahomes get preferential treatment from officials?
100%, no one can tell me otherwise - 64.4%, including me
Sometimes but it's not a constant thing - 15.3%
No, not that I've noticed - 20.3%

Ring bling NFL fans all make the same Josh Allen joke after Buffalo Bills quarterback announces engagement to Hailee Steinfeld
One fan admitted the joke was "mean"

... Reacting on social media, one fan said: "Gotta do what you gotta do to get a ring."

A second said: "That’ll be the only ring he ever gets."

A third said: "I would say something about rings but that’s mean. Congratulations Josh!"

Another said: "Only ring he's getting this year."

A fifth added: "Bro needs to focus on a different ring."

Allen is yet to win an NFL Super Bowl ring....

Ouch.

Hats off to Lamar.

Good guy award.

The fix is in.
