Yo... Moe

Cleveland and Pittsburgh are an interesting matchup. Most thought that the division would be a runaway between the Crows and Bungles. It's literally anybody's to grab and we're in the second half of the season. Cleveland and Baltimore had a great game yesterday.

I also enjoyed watching Houston and Cincinnati. C.J. Stroud is already a top-10 quarterback. He's going to be on par with Mahomes and Burrow in a couple of seasons. I'm not a Buckeyes fan, but living in central Ohio makes me want to see their players do well beyond college. He's a humble young man and I wish him all success in life and football [in that order].

As far as far as finding another passion, there will always be ups and down in whatever you choose so why not stick with the devil you know? LOL

LOL. I still think about Hubert's white wife when I see him on the court and in press conferences. Dude shredded his Black card forever at the biggest moment of his life. SMH.

Haaaaaaaaaaaa...well, they gave away that game as i knew they would, tugboat ron didn't go for two and it cost them, no pass rush on that bum qb...sam howell played his heart out so we're set there..well i'm just waiting for the new guys next season.

LOL, tell me about it. And for those that may not be familiar with Davis, no one cares his wife is White but when responding to the significance of being the first Black Coach, he decided to say he was "proud to have a White Wife"....huh?

It may seem innocuous to some but for many Black folks [including me] it was a dumb thing to state at the moment!!!!

Question, am I the only one who likes the Monday Night Anthem and their version of Phil Colin's version of, In The Air Tonight? Cindy Blackman Santana is killing it on the drums and I'm even feeling Snoop. LOL

I haven't watched the beginning of any prime time games this season besides the Dolphins vs Iggles a few weeks ago. Didn't even know that was the MNF theme song. I'll pull it up on YouTube later and give you my opinion.

Not a bad cover although it doesn't really improve the original, which is an all-time classic rocker. I like a lot of Phil Collins songs so it would take a lot to impress me, so there's that. Besides, I still haven't forgiven Chris Stapleton for ripping off Etta James' classic I'd Rather Go Blind when he covered George Jones' classic Tennessee Whiskey a couple of years ago. But I'm either very critical or very petty about such things. All he had to do was to give the composers credit.

I'm a big Phil Collins fan that goes back to his days with Genesis so I dig drummers, [shout out to Chi Drummer] and Blackman Santana is damn near close to his version. She did amazing things with Lenny Kravitz back in the day too.

Don't know anything about Stapleton though and I tend to phase him out while listening to the music. LOL

No sht Sherlock. It was an obvious TD... and they missed the extra point? REALLY???

This game suddenly got interesting. Hope I can stay awake. :p

I'd really love a Bills loss tonight but I don't see it happening to Denver in Buffalo. Denver really has turned things around.

BTW: I'm trying to understand the logic of going for 2 when a field goal would give Buffalo a 10-9 lead. Am I missing something?

I think being aggressive is the "thing" this season. At least that's the only explanation I have.

Forget the 2 points, it's the picks that will kill em. LOL

See what I mean. Being aggressive is the thing. LOL
I'll admit I like the extra effort but sometimes you have to sneak up on the points, especially when things are so close. shrugs

Ouch, that hurts. [for the Broncos].

Damn sam, he didn't need to run, he could have walked that one in. Geeze Louise. HAHAH

Wow. Another missed PAT. Denver has given away 2 points and Buffalo has more than enough time to drive and take the lead. Other than wanting the Bills to lose, I'm glad I don't have a whole lot invested in this or I'd be on pins and needles right now.

Denver's defense has been good all night, but I've watched the NFL long enough to know that they're going to give up a long drive and lose late. It's like a movie that plays several times every season [usually starring Atlanta].

Well, looks like a different movie than the one I saw before.

... and I enjoyed the ending. Nothing against Josh Allen and I think he's good but the accolades he receives from the press seem a little over the top to me.

I'm actually a big fan of his even though I hate the Bills. I do think he's reached his peak though. He's trying to make hero throws when other - better - plays are available. Dan Marino was the same way but Marino had a much better arm and he succeeded more often than Allen does. With that being said, it was also why we got bounced every season in the playoffs.

LOL, you've been a Finns fan longer than I realized. Super props to you. I admire loyalty in a sports fan!!!!

I've been a fan since '71. Jumped on the same year they lost to your Boyz. I've liked the Falcons since 1975 when Steve Bartkowski was drafted.

BTW, Moe: It appears the equipment stolen from the Colorado football team was taken by high school players being recruited by UCLA.

Prospective UCLA recruits identified as suspects in Colorado locker room theft at Rose Bowl
Juveniles from Beaumont High School in Riverside County are suspected in the theft of valuables during Colorado's loss to UCLA

By Steven Taranto
Prospective recruits to the UCLA football team from a high school in Riverside County, Calif. have been identified by Pasadena Police as suspects in the alleged theft of jewelry and cash from the Colorado locker room during their loss to UCLA in late October. According to a report by USA Today, the case has been turned over to the juvenile division of the local district attorney's office, but no arrests have been made.


The suspects, who were not named, are prospective UCLA recruits from Beaumont High School in Riverside County. In a statement, UCLA said the suspects were not on an official recruiting visit during the Bruins' 28-16 win over the Buffaloes, when several members of Colorado's team reported they were missing cash and jewelry in the post-game locker room.


"We are disappointed and disheartened to hear of the alleged involvement of Beaumont High School students in the incident at the UCLA-Colorado football game on October 28," read a statement by the Beaumont Unified School District. "We strive to promote strong character and integrity in our students, and the alleged actions do not represent our core values as a school, District, and community. While the students were not at the UCLA-Colorado football game as part of a school-sponsored event, the District is cooperating fully with Pasadena Police Department's investigation."


Following the theft, Colorado coach Deion Sanders called for the Rose Bowl to reimburse the players who had valuables stolen, but Pasadena Police stated a week after the theft that some of the stolen items had been returned to the victims of the theft.

High School students? Being recruited by UCLA? Guess that may not happen now.
I've been out of town the past 2 days......the OC from the Bills got canned? Because they got beat by the Broncos?

I remember Bartkowski....oops, my age is showing!

Buffalo fans lost their crap after the end of last night's game and I guess they had to blame the drops, interceptions, and fumbles on somebody [besides the players] and Dorsey - who neither dropped a pass, threw an interception, nor fumbled a football - was the scapegoat. C'est la vie.

And how bout Deshaun Watson's injuries? Season ending. Guess the Haslams aren't happy, I'm sure.

There's a reason why NFL teams are so hard-pressed to give fully guaranteed contracts. Especially for $246 million. Watson's deal is going to hang on Cleveland like an albatross. They'll be struggling to find cap space for the next three seasons.

I watched a replay of that game. Lots of banged up players on BOTH sides [Browns/Dirty Birds].

And tonight's game could be a good one!!!!!! Bengals/Ravens

The AFC North is wide open. Nobody has a clue who will come out on top. Of course, most expect the Browns' fortunes to wane in light of the Watson injury.

I saw a press conference with Watson. He was wearing this quilted jacket that looked like his grandmother made it. And, when out of reach of everyone could he be probably laughing all the way to the bank?

He's definitely laughing to the bank. With that being said, I don't think he's so much an ***hole as he is somebody with a serious screw loose. If you remember how upset I was with the whole Colin Kaepernick situation a few years ago, the fact that so many teams were throwing themselves into acquiring him [including both of mine] made me just as upset. I was willing to drop Miami if they'd traded for him after being a fan for nearly 50 years. Had Atlanta signed him, I was willing to stop watching the NFL.

Cleveland was my dad's favorite team and I never had a problem with rooting for them. Now, I actually root for their opponents to beat them.

So the dirty birds prevail. OK. But was Joe Burrow's wrist injury ever declared before the game?

I barely paid attention. I saw him leave the field but barely watched the second half to find out if he returned. I like Burrow and hope he's okay. Looks like the AFC North is now a two-team race. Life comes at you fast.

And Burrow is out for the remainder of the year with ligaments torn in his wrist.
And the Steelers play the Browns in Cleveland Sunday. It'll be interesting!

Cleveland invested a quarter of their salary cap in Watson and then, Cincinnati followed suit with Burrow. Consequently, their teams have little depth and next season they won't be able to add significantly to their rosters. Meanwhile, Saquon Barkley, Austin Ekeler, Josh Jacobs, and other stud running backs toil away in an economy that keeps their salary flat year-over-year. I'm pretty sure they're giving their GMs the side eye over these recent developments because they know teams will dig in to try to drive their salaries lower to help them afford potential injuries to QBs.

Today Cowboys at Carolina, Bears at Lions, Raiders at Dolphins.
Big game Monday [Eagles at Chiefs]. Falcons are on their bye.
And the Steelers are in Cleveland today [that's always interesting].
Good luck to all!

Wow, my post disappeared
