Thursday Night Football - Vikings at Rams

[Low Positive]

How nerdy am I? I just looked up the etymology of the word “scrimmage.” BTW, it comes from the middle English of a word that currently is Skirmish.

Al jinxed the hell out of Minnesota by mentioning their consecutive Oline games streak earlier in the game. then boom, Left tackle hurt on a play they could have had the QB just fall down and end the half

Quessenberry is their backup I believe?

He is

Just a brutal and unnecessary way to lose your starting left tackle.

Yeah.  You pry take the knee there because you risk a RB fumble or an injury.  It's rare for a 97 yard rushing TD.

But that's good stuff! I too am a language nerd.

Earlier today I researched the origin of the past tense of the verb "go". Why is it "went"?  Seriously.

Yeah we're gonna have to stuff you in your locker for that... maybe give you a wedgie for good measure.

The one that gets me is calling an exhibition soccer match a "friendly."

Unreal catch by nakua. My lord

[Bills!Win!]

There’s talk about the Rams trading players at the deadline. The NFC is so average, most of the teams could make the Super Bowl, including the Rams

Stafford with an air ball

[Low Positive]

I know that we're not supposed to talk about the Bills i these threads, but Josh Allen is better than these dudes.

Nice shot of Justin Jefferson wearing what looks to be probably an $800K diamond necklace during a tackle football game. That's certainly a choice.

Gotta have the bread for a replacement, if needed!

[aristocrat]

Is that a catch?

[dma0034]

Justin Jefferson was a circus catch maybe?

Yes. Unreal.
