Last I saw, Seattle was ahead of the Brownies. Ugh. Dislike those Seahawks.

Couldn’t believe Cleveland was favored when I saw it.

Jets proving that running up a big first half lead against the Cowboys is just a normal thing.

[ThunderDan]

Cowgirls playing with no energy.

lol @ Cowgirls and Failcons

"That Baker Mayfield is just like Brett Favre. Now how about that Brett Favre? Favre is like the most Favre-like Favre player we've ever seen in the NFL. Favre isn't the greatest QuarterBack ever, but he's the most Brett-Favre-like quarter back ever. I mean errr-rrargh-shraw-ggrrr Brett Favre. Mayfield may just be the closest to Favre of every non-Favre player to date. Just look at him throw that ball like Favre, and scramble, and throw touchdowns. Now, he throws picks too, but so did Favre, trying to makes plays and rrrr-grrr, muhguhrrrr, favrrrggg, Brett Favre..."

Referees are giving the game to Dallas at the end of the game.

[Teamcheez1]

How sweet to see Dallas lose to the Jets!

Can't wait to hear how Skip blames this on the Packers.

There is almost nothing better than watching Shannon Sharpe eviscerate Skip Bayless on their Monday morning show.

[Radagast]

Can't wait to hear how Skip blames this on the Packers.

If I accidentally put the channel on wrong and Bayless is on my screen, I race to change the channel before I get sick or throw something at my TV. Not only do I detest that waist of space, but refuse to allow him to accumulate any ratings points due to me. Hopefully someday we will not ever hear from that annoying germ again. That's my opinion of Bayless with the bark still on.

He's just saying how great Dak is for almost overcoming huge deficits. I don't get the logic of falling short to the winless Jets somehow makes you great. But that's Skip.

Steelers always put a whooping on someone when you least expect it.

I had a good betting week

Had a parlay with Texans over chiefs and Steelers over Chargers
Had saints beating jags
Had a bet on just the Steelers beating chargers

Lost one. I made a small 1.15 bet to win $100 on a 5 part parlay.

Texans over chiefs
Texans chiefs under 55.5
Saints over jags
Titans over broncos
Steelers over Chargers

Mariota screwed me out of $100. Only lost a dollar though. Still, pisses me off. I like to win them all.

I don't gamble, but I've been around those that did. Football and a few other sports were their primary focus. Cards and Poker were also their world. I've played in my time in a lot of poker games, but with friends and for very low stakes. I learned early on that the bookies and the casinos hold all of the advantages and out to take your money. While winning is great, loosing can clean you out.

I will do a friendly dollar or five dollar handshake bet on a football game with my brother or a close friend, but nothing more as bad feelings can come sometimes from poor losers. So I never bet in larger denominations. I don't look down on those that place large bets as that is their business and not mine.

Also, some believe that the Raiders move to Las Vegas will not go well. It is a well known gambling center, but as much or more gambling goes on in LA and NY and other cities, yet player bribery and/or gambling has not been a serious worry. Such things have and will happen again regardless of the sports teams home city. Players/management need only look to how Baseball has dealt with Pete Rose. Rose got caught and has been held up as an example of how even a hands down HOF player can ruin his carrier/reputation.
Las Vegas has the hotels, restaurants, and soon the stadium to make it work. The gambling and shows and attractions of the city will just go to sweeten the experience. I wonder just how long it will take for basketball or baseball to show up there as well.

The Rams and Chiefs no longer look like the the dominating teams everyone thought they were.

For me the MVP race is between Russell Wilson and DeShaun Watson. Dark horse candidate right now is Lamar Jackson.
