    Bungles gonna bungle.

    Many years ago my wife and I came up with a solution on how to choose games.  Usually for the survivor pool.

    "When in doubt, Cincinnati sucks."

     

    She actually said it in her little speech at our rehearsal dinner. 

  2. With all the technology we have these days, that doesn't feel like something that should be so hard to determine anymore. It's not really that complex to put a camera in each goalpost pointing upward with a reticle on the output that shows if the ball passed to the inside or outside of the center of the post.

     

    Cameras are too expensive? OK. You could do the same thing with a laser.  You'd see it hit the ball on its way past with the cameras they already have on the game.

    for sure.  Only other one that really comes to mind is Drew Brees with the (San Diego) Chargers back in 2010 or whatever it was

    1986 Dan Marino

    4746 yards. 44 TDs. 8-8 record and finished behind the Patriots 11-5 and the Jets 10-6.

     

    Keeping in mind those stats at that time were insanity.  44TDs in a year was the second most ever at the time and was only surpassed by Marino's 48 in 1984. 4,746 yards was also the second most in a season ever at that time only surpassed by Marino's 5,084 in 1984.

    Anyone else feel like Romo was really going for KC today?


    He is usually pretty neutral with bills vs chiefs/josh vs Mahomes, but today it's like he was really trying to prove: "Josh is really good but he's not Mahomes"

    If he talked about their "Championship DNA" one more time I was going to vomit. And yes, he sounded more slanted than usual today.

    If Wisconsin’s 2nd half offense had even the slightest pulse…

    ...they wouldn't be Wisconsin.

    They haven't had a QB since Russ Wilson.

     

    Good for Kansas knocking off BYU in Provo.  That's a very nice win.

  6. Sears and Brand Names were the two big ones at my house. Penney's to a lesser extent.  I remember it used to irritate me how much of the NFL stuff was only made for certain teams and it was rarely the Bills.  It got somewhat better when they got good but even then you were better off going to AM&A's. Penney's was decent for Bills stuff in the actual store for a little while. The catalog sucked though.

     

    They have some retroish stuff again. I'd buy the blue hooded Starter jacket I used to have in a hot second.  Homage has something similar, but it's not quite the same. Queen City Vintage has an original one, but it's the wrong size.

    Looked a little better last night. Especially in the 3rd. More gumption than they've shown in awhile.  Cozens play on the disallowed goal was nice to see as was the consistent traffic in front of Binnington.

    And that's what I get for saying something nice about them.

    I'm glad it got me out for those other 2 fights 

    The middle two fights were good even if the outcome of the women's fight was a farce.

     

    Also, my fundamental problem with watching a lot of womens boxing is that they have no power. A lot of the tension of boxing is knowing that the whole fight can turn on one punch, just like the men's fight before it did.  Taylor couldn't hurt Serrano at all apart from repeatedly headbutting and Serrano is the smaller fighter who came up in weight class. Taylor's only got 6KOs in her whole career.  Technique and hand speed is nice and everything, but that's Olympic boxing.  Professional boxing (IMO) isn't about the points. It's about doing damage.  You earn the points via the damage, not just successfully touching the other person a bunch of times.  I'd watch Serrano fight again. I wouldn't watch Taylor. To each their own though.

    My teenager believes there is legitimacy to this fight. I’ve tried to convey to him during the lead up fights that this boxing is WWF-esque and Jake Paul enjoys playing the heel. 

    it’s a massive pay day for Mike. Can’t fault him for putting on a show one last time. 

    Yeah, I just said to my wife that I know that this is Paul's shtick to get more views and clicks, but I also really want to see someone kick his ass. It's quite the conundrum.

     

    I'm sure Mike knows the deal here and I don't expect much. That said, if Paul starts to embarrass him anything could happen.

    Just saw the announcement.

     

    Not how I thought that played out.  Head butting and clutching wins I guess.

    Welcome to the big time. Garbage scorekeeping and questionable outcomes.

    I think those three judges are all officials at Sunday’s Chiefs-Bills game, too.

    I'm not sure who scored it worse, the 3 in the Serrano fight or the one who scored the Berrios fight 116-110 in Berrios favor.
