Sports Deflections of a mad Middle-aged man:
Disclaimer — I actually had a very productive and satsifying day, allthings be told–
Things were going pretty well after Thursday and 6 AM, and then the roofs fell in:
— Jax had the accelerator pressed down, if not to the max, and it didn’t need more, because the Falcons weren’t rid of Ridder.
— Dolphins turn into the dullphins as soon as I grant them my favors, probably because I called out their coach for being cocky and dorky.
— Bears turn out to a afraid of their own shadow, but held on like grim death when i thought you couldn’t beat the disabling spread.
— Then after our clip with Nicky shooting the horse in Kubrick’s “The Killing”, ChabDog was dead at 27:37
— ChabDog inappropriately tried to impose “Chabner’s Law” when vouching for the Steelers. Not much to say about the way Houston is playing its defense vs. the way Pittsburgh is conducting his offense.. Yes Aaron, you were a prophet.
— Those Bengals were titanic flops in TN. In the back of my mind, I knew the Titans could, and probably would, smash Cincy to smithereens. The Bengals just exist for me to misjudge, in seemingly every situation.
— Rams and the Colts…. god did this one hurt. Matthew Stafford dragged himself around like grim death, but when push came to shove he was able to get it done. I know their rooke QB did pretty well, but I was hoping to see Gardner MInchew, who seems to surpass excections more often than note.
— Speaking about hanging around like grim death, how about them Commies? Giving the Eagles a run for their money. and I get punished for weakly and meekly bowing to the weight of panel opinon.
–like the kid in Animal House when the majorette comes crashing through the bedroom window… “Thank you god!”.. the Vikings finally play up to their reasonable expectations and defang the stink Panthers.
— the Patriots vs. the Cowboys… thank you New England for using the relatively run-less slugfest against the Jets as a vehicle for sucking me to your delusions of competitiveness at AT&T. And if I ever pay home to a Bill Bellichick team, shoot me.
— My afneroon was somewhat saved, when the Chargers sort of backed in to yet another deflating experience for the Raydes. O’Connelll was better than expected, but Oakland was charitable as ever in terms of giving the game away.
— and then the crushing disappointment of what happened with Cards-Niners and Chiefs-Jets. First, the Cardinals pull within 12 late in the third, then I see it balloon like an overfed tic, only to see Arizona drive to the San Fan 11 with 40 seconds lift… then drive just runs out of gas. Then,, it’s beyond belief what chief Chief does to avoid scoring that simple TD and prevent the spread covering chippy field goal.
