Red Comet

Here's what I think: 

More football is never a bad thing. Sometimes things don't shake out how you want but sometimes, you might find, you get what you need. 

Video related to the XFL and good music as this is the Battlehawks TD song: 
 

He's probably looking for something to hang his hat on come re-election. Keeping a team in town when they seemed destined to bail out at the 11th hour can only help Mayor Johnson. Even if it is the Bears.

I wonder if he has a morbidly obese relative named Ragona 

Okay once. And only because New York is the biggest city in the country. And they never went back and there is no mention of going back.

It'll be fun when Buffalo gets its Super Bowl in a few years.

Buffalo’s new stadium is going to be open-air. I would love Buffalo to get a Super Bowl because their fanbase deserves at least one chance to watch a Super Bowl live but also because it’ll open the door for Chicago and Kansas City. Unfortunately, the NFL isn’t going to put The Big Game anywhere outside the Sun Belt or the token northern city with a new domed/retractable roof stadium because people aren’t going to pay tens of thousands of dollars to freeze their ass off.

1990 myself so I'm one of those borderline (thank God not the pd kind) cases too. I also don't remember the Eagles wearing kelly green and my first experience with the Hartford Whalers was playing that N64 Wayne Gretzky hockey game and thinking they had the coolest jerseys ever. In 2000. But as to being a Zillennial? Yeah, I can dig that. I'm in between thinking I'm God's gift to humanity as well as having all the answers in the world and that I should take up sudoku because I care far more about things I can't control versus the things I can which arouses near uncontrollable anxiety the second sunlight touches my face. 

That aside, here are the TV Maps for next Sunday. Again, all credit goes to 506sports. Go support them. Subject to change when/if they do. 

CBS 1:00 PM EST/12:00 PM CST

Yellow: Colts at Bengals. Show of hands, did anyone expect the Colts to be the one with the better record? 
 

CBS 4:00 PM EST/3:00 PM CST

Blue: Broncos at Chargers. 

FOX 1:00 PM EST/12:00 PM CST

Green: Falcons at Jets

FOX 4:00 PM EST/3:00 PM CST

Red: 49ers at Eagles

Blue: Browns at Rams

I just feel like sic-ing the online army on people is in bad taste after 07/30/2021. Those who know that date know what I’m talking about.

 

Did you have to cite a site called RetroMothership for that image, lol?

I’d argue, if anything, the backlash to this article might’ve put that question to bed for the next decade at least. Heck, it was already trending that way anyways considering how the media all but censored the Tomahawk Chop in 2021 compared to the first ever Amazon Prime game in 2022 where it was on full display along with the big effing drum. Anyone who would want a change now is going to be responded to with this article.

Whoa, how did this take from 2017 end up in this thread?

Ask Drew Ortiz at Sports Illustrated. If anything, encouraging diversification of skills of workers in at-risk fields of being taken over by AI is more relevant now than in 2017.

Yeah, who would’ve thought going after a kid would blow up in their face? I guess anybody with more common sense than the average person at Neo-Spin does apparently. 
 

Oh well, if that kid’s family goes through with a defamation suit then maybe everyone working there should take up some Intro to Coding classes. Just to keep their skill set up. They could mine coal too, I guess.

How is a Native American kid wearing Native American garb not in good taste?

And it’s not like it’s some “My great great great grandma was a Cherokee princess” thing either. Kid’s grandfather apparently sits on the board of the Chumash Tribe in California. So, if anyone can, this kid can. 
 

People who go after kids need to get a life. Simple as.  Or hell, at least wait 48 hours to get the facts right before shooting from the hip.  At least this hack wouldn’t have beclowned himself. 

Also, it’s a five year old or at the very least, a young boy who can’t be older than 10. Shouldn’t kids get a little slack before their life gets screwed up permanently?

Why do they call it that?  Can't boat races be close?  I've never competed in one, but I imagine it's just like any other race.

I think it’s supposed to be a euphemism.

Hey, never claimed I’m the one to be credited for the maps. If you check the url in the images, you’d be able to see that I copied the images from the website itself. All I’m doing is posting the information here and occasionally adding commentary. Absolutely do support 506Sports. 

I do it because I find it interesting and I’m sure other people do too. If someone doesn’t like it, great, but I’m still going to do what appeals to me. Maps appeal to me (the kind with legends and geography, the other kind on Xitter can go hang) and so does football. Combining the two doubles my interest. 
 

Personally, I’m too cheap to pay for streaming much less cable so I watch games with family.

CBS 1:00 PM EST/12:00 PM CST

Red: Steelers at Bengals

Blue: Jaguars at Texans

Green: Buccaneers at Colts

Red: Bills at Eagles (Good news Bills fans, you get the Game of the Week. The bad news is that you get to hear Tony Romo’s CTE-influenced commentary.)

Blue: Chiefs at Raiders 

Gray: Cardinals enforcing a blackout. Must have some power to keep your market from watching a game that isn’t pure scheisse. 
 

FOX 1:00 PM EST/12:00 PM CST

Green: Patriots at Giants (Everyone in this area has my condolences)

It’s going to be a hell of a game. I could also see the biggest audience for a Monday Night Game in at least 10 years. A Super Bowl rematch/preview is always going to be fantastic. Even if the Eagles are weakened a bit, they are still the class of the NFC. The Chiefs are relatively poor offensively so the Eagles not being at full strength isn’t as big of a disadvantage as believed. But something tells me that the Chiefs offense is going to go off tonight. Feel free to screencap this if they turn it over 3 times before halftime. 
 

I’m ready for some football. A Monday Night party, if you will.
