Great read from La Canfora on what a bust he’s been: https://www.si.com/nfl/ravens/onsi/the-ravens-anointed-trey-hendrickson-as-a-30m-year-closer-turns-out-he-s-an-opener-01m6mqe2m76c

Falcons rule out RB Brian Robinson Jr.

Yeah, I was checking out some ravens forums the other day and they generally refer to him as “Fags.” This has created something of an issue since as a card-carrying woke DEI Democrat I may be obligated to root for “Fags” to win the Super Bowl on principle. Going to have to check the bylaws and see what they say…

Turner full, Ced and Battle limited Thursday.

Alternative ideas: BYOB Waffle House.

Multiple bars opening early Sunday if google is to be believed.

Per schefty they’re now trading for Jacoby Brisset, who I’m sure is the answer to the question, how can we fukk up by the numbers?

The wife gets upset. Helps to have an excuse.

I like a 930 start because I don’t have to wait for noon to start drinking.

Ravens appear to have decided tanking is the better part of valor. Lamar is on IR, Huntley is done for the season with turf toe, and third-stringer Fagnano is wearing an ankle brace at practice…and is set to start tomorrow night against Jax, backed by QBs Austin Reed and Kedon Slovis

Good job, Ohio.

We had some important muckety mucks in the office last week and someone brought in a box of Parlour doughnuts, which I’d never heard of. Pretty damn good actually. When I was a kid there was a doughnut place in a deer park just off the corner of Plainfield and Galbraith IIRC that had the best cinnamon twists, and these thing absolutely nailed that flavor. Plus they were still good the next day. So yeah too expensive for everyday but for the right occasion I’m a fan.

Falcons WR Zacharia Branch (their primary return guy) and Edge Samson Ebukam both ruled out for Madrid with hamstring injuries.

Basically he was sucking so they sat him down for a series. I wouldn’t read anything into it.

Injury updates from Zac: Howell in a cast after wrist surgery. Probably headed to IR. Ced (ankle) and Turner (heel) are day to day, will travel to Spain, so there’s a chance they’ll play. Bengals leaving for Madrid Tuesday night.

Bengals open as 3.5 point faves.

At the very least, I would expect them to suck it up and give Davis another shot. He was allegedly drafted with an eye toward defending TEs, which we could use. And if they stick him in the slot they can move Dex back outside. They still have Foskey on the PS. Dude was a r2 pick and has game experience. If he can’t at least sub for Ced he shouldn’t be on the team. would love to see them find a db but we’ll see if they pull the trigger on a trade. I doubt it.

And so over the pond we go. Atlanta is technically the home team, but obviously this is a road trip for both teams. For Cincy, this is the second straight trap game. They have Pitt at home looming on the schedule— with the Steelers coming off a bye no less — so it would be no surprise to find them looking ahead. Both teams are coming off rough weeks, the Bengals having just gone to OT and the Falcons playing three hours in a downpour and losing to a team that didn’t complete a pass. I like the Bengals’ chances here, if only because Burrow & Co. are usually up for a big splashy prime time game. But if they lose I’m not going to be too upset. They’re not going to win all their remaining games, so if they have to lose some, lose the nfc games.

What I would look like on every target as an nfl wr:

Yup. Fun facts from espn: Joe Burrow is the second QB in NFL history with 450 passing yards, 5 pass TD and 1 rush TD in a single game, and first in 75 years! The other was Norm Van Brocklin in 1951, who set the NFL record with 554 passing yards in that game.

Two first round picks and they can have him…

Shades of Andy Dalton: Lamar to IR, needs surgery for the thumb. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/lamar-jackson-injury-updates-ravens-bills/

Dude, where do you think they get those “boneless wings” from?

No shit! Pretty sure they killed half a dozen elderly fans today.

Fuk that I take the W and sprint off the field fast as I can before the refs change their minds
