They just showed Mahomes on the bench in the "keep warm" blanket/cloak that many teams use. But his has a Captain's "C" sewn into it. Ugh.

Lions got away with DPI there. 8 point game.

And 6 to - who else - Evans.

What, are the Lions playing prevent? Geez.

Game saving pass to Evans.

That's a chop block? You kidding me?

The only thing of value. Not money. Not players. Certainly not wins. Draft picks.

During yesterday's Rats game, I noticed for the umpteenth time that the painted "Baltimore" in the end zone had the M and O in a different color. I thought that maybe the ijits there thought they were in Missouri and not Maryland, but I finally looked up the reason. https://www.pennlive.com/baltimore-ravens/2020/09/why-baltimore-ravens-end-zone-has-mo-painted-in-purple.html Okay. That's a damn fine reason and a fitting tribute. Hats off. They've been doing that for four seasons now, I feel silly that I might be the only one who didn't know the story.

Go Lions

Had the Packers held on to beat Frisco, the Lions would've had a chance to be the first team in NFL history to host three playoff games in the same post-season. (I'm ignoring the 1982-83 playoffs where due to the player strike the league threw away division standings and invited 8 teams per conference into an expanded playoff tournament. The #2 Dolphins and #1 Redskins both hosted three games enroute to their meeting in SB XVII) This was impossible before the league added a 7th playoff team. When there were six, all four division champs were guaranteed a home game (Seeds 1 & 2 in the Divisional Round, Seeds 3 & 4 in the Wild Card Round) with ONE team getting a 2nd home game in the Conference Championship. The only way that wouldn't happen would be if the two Wild Card teams ran the table - in which case all 4 division champs and the #5 wild card would get one home game. With the addition of a 7th team, it became possible for the #2 seed to get three home games (with help), or the #3 seed to get three (with a LOT of help). The #2 would only need to hold serve and have the #1 seed lose their Divisional game. The #3 would need to hold serve, have the #2 get upset in the Wild Card round AND have the #1 seed lose in the Divisional. Unlikely, but not a long shot by any means. This year, Detroit would've been the first, as #2 Dallas shit the bed in the Wild Card round, and #1 San Fran was losing by 7 in the 2nd half in their Divisional game. Guess we'll have to wait another year to see if this happens.

Updated..... althogh kinda crappily as all I have is MS Paint.... Every team except Miami has a playoff win in the 21st century.

Sorry to confuse you. LVII (Eagles-Chiefs) is what I meant. My bad. Eagles are green, but the logo has no green and seems to be linking their green logo to the teal part of the LVII badging. There is no purple in the LVII badge. The teal would imply Panthers, since I don't know of any other NFC team with teal in their primary logo. Bolding colors is fun. Thanks for teaching me how do to that.

Nah. LVIII should've been Panthers/Chiefs if this theory holds water.

(1) We've been the #1 seed twice - 1981 and 1988. We played two home games and one neutral site game each time. The problem with that is that going to the Super Bowl screws up our draft pick. (2) Baltimore did it in this division, and that was because Jackson was healthy and Burrow was not. Stay tuned.

Meh. I hate the Squeels, I want to see the Clowns suffer, but I'm fairly indifferent about the Rats. I'd prefer to see them lose, of course, but considering the dagger that Art so conveniently stuck in the hearts of Clown fans (which was well-deserved, make no mistake), and the fact that Art wrote a nice personal note to me after bringing AFC Central football to Maryland, following me to my posting at a certain remote Navy base along the Chesapeake, I've always been able to find a little room to give them a pass. They're high on the pyramid, make no mistake, but there are teams I hate much more than them. Like Winnipeg.

I keep the missus distracted because I freqently need to go to the barn to "check on stuff".

The Packers game is on Fox. Just change the channel if you don't wanna watch Troy and Buck nut all over the Rats. Or go to the grocery store. Same effect.

"Between the football games, I went to the grocery store. I did the com-bination football game and grocery store."

And ..... ballgame. Think I'll go to the grocery store.

Too bad the Texans aren't also at the grocery store.

Half the cheese, double the whine.

"I'm at the football game. I'm at the grocery store. I'm at the com-bination football game and grocery store." Damn ear worm. Lol.
