  1. Thanks for posting this, snow. I'm sure millions of west coasters set their alarm for 6 am so they could watch this thrilling match. Ugh. Bring on Lions vs Bears!

    1. I have a friend who comes to my house every few months to help with chores that I can’t do by myself. He was here yesterday, he said, “notice how I’m here on a Saturday, in the fall?” His dad died about six months ago, was in his late 80s, and he had always been very controlling – expected my friend to be at his house every Saturday to watch football, no excuses.

      1. Wow, good for your friend, I hope! My mom's mom had issues and tried to pass them on to my mom, but my grandmother lived to just short of 100 and she and my mom were able to reconcile and forgive along the way. My mom said "it took until I was 67, but I finally got an apology!".

  2. Raiders @ Ravens (ew, I have to root for the Raiders? I feel so dirty…the bad kind of dirty)

    Seahawks @ Jets

    Rams @ Cardinals

    …and, of course, Chiefs @ Come the Fuck On and Rebound, Guys!

  3. My bipolar team has won its second division title in 4 years, to counterpoise the 2 last place finishes in-between. Will the Large Father go out in style?

    1. The Trumpentrolls are trying to take over the tag. So deluded.

      Latest article fromRaw Story implied there's more tax info to come. If so, delightful!

  4. OT as well, but Trump supporters already trying to blame Hillary Clinton for damage from Matthew in Haiti, before it even happens, because Clinton Foundation or something. It's really fucking dumb.

    1. I'd say "oh, for fuck's sake," but watching their meltdown is rather amusing. God, I hope Trump stays in the second debate: I'm hoping his ego will keep him from weaseling out.

  5. Just got back from the store: figured I'd go during fourth quarter of a close Rams game and see if the crowds would stay away and watch the game instead. At least in my neighborhood, the Rams have some work to do!

    1. I know what you mean- this time of year, I have to plan any trips to Berkeley on Saturday carefully, depending on the schedule.

  6. Yeah, I hear you both. One of my BFFs from way back is a Cubbies fan. I suppose I'll do what I did in 2007(Sox-Tribe) if my team faces off a friend's- record the whole series, and if their team wins, I'll give them the recordings.

  7. So, I'm watching the sox-jays game here in Oakland CA, Big Papi's last regular season game, on TBS on directv and I've seen two Trump ads, meaning he's blowing his money in a non-specific way because he sure ain't winning CA.
