Red Comet

Okay, who is the paste-eater that thought putting Smashville on a jersey wouldn’t be cringe on the level of the Gordon’s Fisherman Isles jersey?

What a dumbass

so, uh, the Warriors are 17-2.

 

that was a fun couple years, huh

I guess the Warriors are coming out to play this year. And by play, I mean dominate.

Background noise at early Thanksgiving really should be Blood Rage.

 

 

It’s better than Thankskilling (low bar, I know):
 

 

You get to see the turkey kill people, have sex with a human, and say a lot of bad puns!

Seems like a Soviet horror film as in America, you stuff the turkey and in this movie, the turkey stuffs you. 
 

Still, I think I’d rather watch that than the Lions game yesterday.

Pitying the Lions and rooting against the Cowboys is a Thanksgiving tradition and I'm glad to have it

But we rooted against the Cowboys this past Sunday! I guess second helpings/leftovers is another Thanksgiving tradition, so…

790 million for St Louis.... all eyes on Oakland.

Unless Gruden and that mop-headed spawn of Al Davis were in some conspiracy to deprive Oakland of a team, I’m not seeing it happen. 
 

Like St. Louis, I think Oakland just isn’t an attractive enough city to keep a team. At least with Detroit and Cleveland, you have a big enough suburban population to draw fans and money from to keep multiple teams there, but I’m not seeing it for the East Bay.

To be fair, he was working against them in this case.

True. It’s just amazing what I wind up paying for without me knowing unless some intrepid journalist blows the whistle on it. I get he’s ex-CIA, but still. I paid for this guy’s training in some way. 

Gotta love how Qatar was able to keep their World Cup with the help of a glowing spook. I guess the CIA wasn’t content with screwing up poor countries so now they’ll screw over rich ones too.

Not sure this parity thing is actually good for the shield. 

I’d say not knowing what the hell will happen next is good for ratings anyway. If more fans are interested because their team still has a chance, then they’re more likely to buy tickets, merch, etc. And then teams make more money and thus the league makes more money. 
 

I’d say it’s better than the NBA where last year notwithstanding you could usually predict who would be in the Finals year after year after year.

Well, Twitter Iron Sheik.
 

That reminds me, somebody wrote in to Cornette’s podcast with this:

 

 

Corny was smart to shut it down before he got a CWCki entry. You know, a CWC-inspired heel would’ve likely gotten over in Smokey Mountain.

It's hilarious that Cornette shut it down not because he didn't want to open that can of worms, but rather because he didn't think a person named "Christian Weston Chandler" could be real. Buddy, you don't know the half of it.

Reality can be a real mother:censored:er sometimes.

How the eff did the ref not throw the facemask flag that started that? Thank goodness New York fixed that!

No clue. Just glad the Chiefs got the win. 
 

Wouldn’t think it would be on timely running plays and a stout defense. Feels like I went back in time to the 90s

Got it. Then you shouldn't say 'How the bleep is that taunting' if you know that it's taunting. Say you hate the rule, not that it's a bad call.

Fair enough, wrong choice of words. What Fenton just did would qualify as a legit taunting penalty IMO. 
 

Also, this defense is making me gag on what I said about Spagnuolo earlier this year. And that’s a good thing.

Have you read the rule?

I know that its technically against the rule of taunting, I just think about 95% of the instances where it’s enforced is total BS. Especially this one. 

How the is pointing at a guy when you score a taunting penalty? When even Troy Aikman thinks it’s excessive…

You know, that does make somewhat more sense than using the Memorial Coliseum there. At least it has luxury boxes.

Tbf, Austin might as well be a part of Canada. So, it’s not completely out of nowhere. 

Looks like if you wanted to own part of an NFL Franchise, here is your chance. 
 

Packers are selling stock again. I’m actually thinking about buying a share myself. 

This is by the far the best game I’ve seen the Chiefs play all year. Play like this on a regular basis and I think it’s safe to say that their demise has been quite exaggerated. 

Hail to the Landover Handegg Club. 
 

EDIT: And the Steelers tied with the Lions. Huh. 

So Sternberg is getting outed for robbing Peter to pay for his yacht and this absolutely exceptional idea of having two cities share one team is about to die? Feels good, man.

I always thought that was an interesting wrinkle, how the A's screwed Seattle and helped Milwaukee because Symington did "nice antitrust exemption, shame if something happened to it" about Kansas City having to wait. I don't think we've ever had four true expansion teams join the league at once since, have we? The ABA and WHA teams came in fully formed or close to it (I think it was the Jets who got ransacked on the way in). Having one of the four fail in the first year would be a good reason why it hasn't happened since.

I’m surprised we haven’t seen more threats of revoking anti-trust exemptions over issues like that. Politicians will gut their own mother over a few million more in pork for their 5 mile wide House district. What could be a bigger bit of pork than a pro sports franchise delivered by government mafioso tactics? Let’s go Royals!

I’d like to think after the St Louis lawsuit is blowing up in the NFL’s face that they’d take the hint and settle with Gruden before this goes to discovery. Expecting anyone in the NFL to make the smart decision from Roger Goodell to DeShawn Watson seems to be way too big of an ask though as of late. 

Maybe it’s a bad idea for fan interest but it’s a great idea if you want to keep costs down. IIRC, TSL has been the only alt-league to profit. I think they’re trying to get sponsorships going first before they try to invest. As for my opinion on this particular strategy?
 

And I only mean it semi-ironically. They should get credit for going a different route.

LA football teams haven't won a football title since...ever? I think it's ever?

The Raiders won a Super Bowl while in LA. Absolutely crushed Washington.

I’m just glad Brett Veach didn’t take him. We already have Josh Gordon and aside from one really good catch, he’s done nothing.
