The Mighty Taco and the stampede on kickoffs. Oh wait...

I’d like to think he’s been with us the whole time

As someone who listens to the DLSwS regularly (which is pretty much the show prep for Highly Questionable), this is coming out of nowhere. I enjoy the show because the format is “kind of sports, but not specifically.” LeBatard has made his entire career on race and scandal. His bread has always been buttered on the side. So when Lamar Jackson is the presumptive MVP, he is in hog heaven berating the Bill Polians of the world and injecting subtle accusations of racism. He’s also not a fan of the NFL. You can tell his show prep is the NFL scroll on the ESPN website. And again, Josh Allen doesn’t fit his racial/scandal narrative. This take almost feels like a tantrum for having to discuss Buffalo in a serious way.

The real record setting is going to be when none of the Ravens play in the Pro Bowl because...wait why does anyone play in the Pro Bowl again? A free vacation? Especially in the age of player empowerment and resting players, why does anyone risk injury?

Every time the national media is forced to mention Buffalo:

I’m so with you brother. I live in VA but grew up in Rochester. For so many years I’ve had to break out the “okay so if we win out and 6 other teams lose, we might make the playoffs” scenarios. This year she said “so...who has to lose so the Bills get in?” and I just hugged her. Btw I couldn’t help but be proud of the Mafia in Richmond and Norfolk on Sunday Night.

D deserves that picture. It was all on their backs

If he’s got the foot to get him there ?

No pressure in House money, right?

A 3 point lead has never looked so safe

Asking how much the guilty party benefited is tantamount to asking a cheating spouse if they climaxed. Sure, you can wonder. But it’s really beside the point and definitely won’t make it hurt any less.

That was exactly my train of thought. The last thing they need is more help

Love his gamesmanship. He is underrated to our great advantage. But I do hope he recovers from those busted ankles.

Is JuJu OUT out? Or Le’veon Bell out?

I’d like to call him Because sometimes you say it in a “I can’t believe he did that” incredulous kind of way. And the other times you say it in an exasperated way.

Can we start a throat lozenge donation program or gofundme account dedicated to the support of home fans crowd noise? In games like today we need the 12th man.

Virginia Beach held the title of southernmost Wegmans location until the Raleigh NC store opened this September. Having grown up in Rochester, was nice to see quite a few Bills logos in the crowd when it opened. It’s a little too far from me to shop at regularly, but their prices weren’t outrageous as I keep hearing. This from someone who refuses to pay $8 for a small jar of peanut butter at Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s. Maybe It’s just the differences in taxes or interstate whatnot.

The most annoying thing about that draft was hearing so many different sites mention Josh Allen as the presumptive number 1 quarterback to be taken. Then a few days out, it leaked that someone was taking Baker Mayfield first and suddenly Allen was universally panned as a good selection. Seemingly overnight our pick went from brilliant to meh. I did see many sites predicting we take Jackson based mostly on our Tyrod history.

Made two long shot bets with the only winnings I had in Vegas this summer. Buffalo to win the Super Bowl at +1000 and Redskins to make the playoffs at +850.

I often lay awake at night and wonder what Peterman did to convince coach after coach that he’s worth investing in. And why he isn’t a trillionare with those negotiating skills. Or at least dating supermodels with that kind of silver tongue

I won’t forget the Bronco game in 2017 when he nailed 2 XPs and 4 FGs. And two FGs were over 50 yards. I was surrounded by Broncos fans chanting for him to miss each time. And he nailed every one.

My current favorite is Ed Oliver. I was sure that this was Ed Oliver. I’ve never been so happy to be so wrong about a high draft pick.

The Peloton commercial was annoying before any new articles. And it’s been replayed so many times I can’t help but discover new problems with each replay. So many issues: 1) Where did the daughter go? Who is watching her while she CrossFit trains constantly? Does anyone even care? The worst part is that there’s already a kids version. 2) How narcissistic is this character to constantly film herself? Is she supposed to be a YouTuber or a Kardashian? The kicker is that she doesn’t even thank her guy until supposedly weeks later, and she only does it by a video retrospective. 3) Peloton has no awareness when it comes to the cost of housing. Even in their other commercials, every one is apparently aimed at affluent childless females who either married architects, or are one themselves. 4) 6 am? That’s insanely early? Her makeup is flawless anyway. Good for her. Must be nice. My hair is thinning and I’d like to not care but I still style my Homer Simpson-like 2 hairs so others think I care. 5) I love how the some of the criticism is that she thanks the person who dropped at least 2k on a gift. That is 2019 in a gender fluid sexually non-specific nutshell.
