Everyone definitely wanted an extra helping of the Pats and the Titans, right?

I understand! Of all the dumb mistakes a sportster can do this one is the most inexplicable. And it’s happened so often! Go choreograph yourself a signature dance instead!

In case you missed it, this just happened in the Thursday Night game.

86 Red Sox <shaking hands emoji> 2024 Yankees Unable to beat Mookie to first

If no newspaper went with “Yanks Rip Game 4 Out of Dodgers Grasp” it’s a missed opportunity

Did you see that Yankees fan interfere with that outfielder? Jeffery Maier? https://nypost.com/2024/10/26/sports/jeff-maier-got-to-relive-his-fan-interference-drama-all-over-again-28-years-later/ No. Not him. Oh. You mean the one in that gif: https://www.progressiveboink.com/2012/5/31/2995814/yankeesfans-gif-animated-yankee-enthusiasts-story No there’s a new one. They assaulted Mookie Betts. Oh, well. If I had a nickel for every time a Yankees fan interfered with an opposing outfielder in a playoff game…

There's an NFL programming executive who, this past offseason, pushed hard to get the Jets as many prime time games as possible this season. Jets play Houston in the Thursday Night game this week.

Bad week to be a sports star name Aaron in New York.

Everyone wins? The one game in which he seems to be playing well, at least according to stats.

Maye himself has acquitted himself quite well today. More aesthetically pleasing for London than if Brissett started.

Drake Maye's first start for NE, lucky to be down only 14-0, and they now have a left tackle in that New England fans have never heard of. Zach Thomas. Not that Zach Thomas. The Pats have benefitted from a missed Hou FG and a Hou end zone pick. This was predictable but still hard to watch.

Random thought. I was never a Joe Flacco fan, really. I hated the Ravens, of course, but thought he really was just a fairly pedestrian QB on a strong team. However, since he's been supplanted by Lamar Jackson he had one season starting for the Broncos at a real QB salary and then has been available in let's call it the Ryan Fitzpatrick role for the last five years. Backup plus veteran QB available for a relative pittance. And looking at his stats whenever he's gotten into games these past five years he's played decently. Amusingly, Flacco's career QB rating as a NY Jet (3 seasons!!!) is slightly better than Aaron Rodgers' current QB rating as a Jet, 81.5 to 81.2. He's had better QB ratings as a Bronco, Brown and Colt than he did for his career as a Raven! So with that in mind, and with the benefit of hindsight, here is an incomplete list of QB acquisitions from the past five years in which the team would have been better off at the time signing Flacco for cheap and spending resources elsewhere instead of what they actually did. CLE trade for Deshaun Watson DEN trade for Russell Wilson Maybe NYJ trade for Aaron Rodgers? Still arguable That Carson Wentz in Washington situation Drafting at least three of the five first round QBs in 2021 (Zach Wilson, Trey Lance, and Mac Jones) Justin Fields is very arguable and Trevor Lawrence I'd say the jury's still out. 2022 Draft Kenny Pickett 2023 Draft Bryce Young. Jury's out on Anthony Richardson and Will Levis in the 2nd round I can't quite say definitively that the contract extensions of Tua, Hurts, and Daniel Jones would be on this list but it bears watching. Also Kyler is playing well this season or else I'd say him too. Whatever it is that LV has been trying to do at QB in the past five years, they would have been better off with Flacco. Basically a third of the league would have been better off punting their actual QB plans and just signing Flacco for like $10Mil. Who knew? Mind you all that I'm only making the claim that Flacco could step in and be like the 18th-25th best QB in the league if he played in any given season. But for dirt cheap.

There's being fired, and then there's being escorted out of the building by security. Afraid of Saleh stealing the Jets' trade secrets?

I went and found a video of this play. What a dumb fucking sport we follow. That’s pretty much all there is to say. It was pretty much the WWE spot where a tag team wrestler accidentally hits his partner with a steel chair when the opponent he was holding in place ducks at the last moment. Never saw a QB maim his best receiver before but now I have. Rice should have been suspended for his traffic shenanigans anyway, so…

Not sure if anyone brought this up already during his season, but I saw an episode of Chopped on an airplane ride and Soo Ahn was one of the contestants. The episode was a noodle themed episode, and Soo brought up his golf career as you might expect. https://www.foodnetwork.com/shows/chopped/episodes/noodle-palooza
