Can't boat races be close? I've never competed in one, but I imagine it's just like any other race. 1 Quote "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

I'm thinking a more accurate analogy for a blowout game would be a car race where the leading car is one of the ones that shoots oil out of the back of it and makes the trailers slip and spin out so it wins handly. 1 Quote "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

That guy’s first name was Speed and last name was Racer.

What if the poor bastard had just wanted to be a pastry chef? I don't think anyone's name should tie them to a particular career. Two notable examples: there was a guy who's actual name was Repo Man, who, after a successful career as a repo man (duh), decided to be a wrestler but kept the name. There was also a guy named Irwin R. Shyster, who wanted to be a tax accountant, but also ended up being a wrestler. Come to think of it, the only examples I can think of all relate to wrestling. So basically, your name can limit you to two careers - one that matches your name, or professional wrestling. Your name limits you to either raiding villages and plundering (which is what I assume you do for a living), or this: (don't ask me why a Nordic Viking wrestler is posing with a Japanese businessman): (this is how I imagine you do your posting, just with grayer hair:) Quote "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

Not much gray area with that one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadragon76 Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 Last night went bad... If this is the best Seattle has to offer against that gauntlet, then it's going to be horrifically ugly by the time it ends after Philadelphia comes in.

Shut up, a hole. My favorite part of the outcome of that game is the Cowboys fans and TV personalities OVERREACTING because they beat a BAD BAD Washington team by 30+ points. They were supposed to beat them easily, and they are acting like that was the biggest win of the year. There are so many issues in Washington with the lame duck coaching staff, I'm surprised that the score wasn't worse than what it was.

Rivera is clearly done giving af. And Washington threw up the white flag on 2023 when they traded Young and Sweat. And Dallas is a good team in a very shoddy conference outside of Philly, SF and Detroit. Can't fault them for them beating teams who are on their schedule. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Since he doesn't talk about it and doesn't make excuses, it's hard to know exactly when Hurts' injury occurred. But according to Jeremy Fowler, it was another Met Life Stadium injury. Knowing the outcome, I'm glad they played him, but with the absence of that info, I would have considered giving him a second bye week and treating the KC game as a "scheduled loss". He took off his brace last week, but he's messed up - and will likely be so for the rest of the season. His lack of threat has contributed to their formerly-dominant running game basically stalling the past few weeks.
