BRH

I don’t remember being mad at him for not playing, but I do remember being mad at him for not getting a flu shot. As I recall, he didn’t like needles, so he didn’t get one. The irony is that I was 26 at the time and still considered myself rather invincible. I’d had the flu once before — ironically hitting bottom during the weekend of the Bills-Raiders 30-below playoff game in 1994, which I watched in between hallucinations (which also is why I understood why Bruce couldn’t play), but I still rarely got a flu shot myself. I rationalized my anger at Bruce by telling myself that if I was getting paid millions to play I would have gotten the shot. When I was about 35 I got the flu again, and it was just brutal; the effects lingered for weeks afterward. Since then, like Bill, I’ve been first in line for my shot every year. I imagine Bruce gets his now too. We would have won that game if Bruce played, no doubt in my mind. But I never questioned that he was too sick to play. I think Jordan’s famous “flu game” was still fresh in our minds at the time, but now I realize that either (a) he didn’t really have The Flu — which is most likely, or (b) he was at a different stage in his recovery that allowed him to play that night.

Noodle arm

Even Santa Claus left lol

Watching the Eagles fans warms my heart like a cup of hot cocoa this holiday season.

He said postgame he has to be “more consistent.” He looked consistent to me yesterday. Consistently trash.

Need that gif of Zay Flowers doing his Queen Elizabeth wave in Week 1

Yeah, pretty soon we’ll see him sitting on the bench with a Brillo pad on his hamstring.

Time for another Lamar turnover; after all, this game is still within reach.

Lamar will probably have 150 yards and 2 TDs in the last five minutes if the Bengals score a TD here.

Burrow or no Burrow, the Ravens are about to lose at home to a 3-8 team in a gotta-have-it game and Lamar has done his team zero favors tonight. That makes me feel all tingly inside.

Might well become the only three-time winner of the Comeback Player of the Year Award and he’s not even 30.

Just imagining a postseason without the Chiefs in it makes me smile.

Worthy had so much space after he caught that ball, he should have scored.

Oh good, Super Bowl still on then

Huge choke by the Eagles. I love it.
