Speculation is that both Biden and Harris are back at the WH to invoke the 25th amendment to turn the reigns over to her incompetent ass for the last 30 days of the presidency.
Not sure if it would be possible, with a switcheroo, but some believe it's for her to pardon Biden for any of his wrongdoings so Trump & Company can't go after him. Second reason would be for the "woohoo, look, a woman POTUS" factor.
posted by friendfromlowryI think the Broncos and Chargers will both remain in and it’ll be pretty anticlimactic for the other few teams.
The bengals might lose Sunday anyways. They struggle against backup QBs. They also played a very bad Titans team and still had four turnovers and 14 penalties.
Browns have pretty much mailed it in. Only reason Garrett's still playing is to get his 100th career sack (at 99.5 currently) and I think he gets some escalator in his contract if he reaches 14 sacks. Hell, shit's gotten so bad here the "bring in Kirk Cousins" talk has started.
posted by Laley23Yes. Shih Tzu-Bichon. A few bigger dogs on the block and a few smaller. We have luckily never had an attack on any of them.
As for our dog, always on a leash when we let him outside -- mostly because he is 16 and wanders, but now cant hear well enough to come back haha.
Was going to say, unless you had a Pit Bull, Rottweiler, etc definitely keep an eye on a smaller dog as a coyote will snatch a small one up in a heartbeat. They're pretty bold. I'm seen them attack dogs on leashes.
posted by Laley23We have a few Coyotes that roam the neighborhood. Usually see them a few times a month -- more in spring. I love them. They eat all the fuckers that eat my garden (rabbits, squirrels, mice, etc). I wish we had more of them.
Do you own a dog?

Pretty sure the Donkeys go head to head with the Bengals next week. Bengals will beat the Browns and have the Steelers as their only remaining team. If Pittsburgh has their seed locked up, they may sit key players.
Browns have a punchers chance against the Fins as those South Florida guys aren't fond of sub 40 degree temps.
EDIT: Scratch my comments, there are only 3 wildcards, correct? If so, it's likely Baltimore/Pittsburgh, Chargers and Broncos. One of the two latter teams could lose out and give Miami or Cincy a chance but extremely doubtful.
Broncos loss keeping the Bengals playoff hopes on life support.
I hit a deer about every 3-4 years for some reason. Has to be about 6. Had 3 jump out in front of me right in the direct line of fire and somehow only hit one.
Growing up in a very rural area (Amish country) it was pretty common to hit animals that would pop out of nowhere. Nothing you could really do.
Speaking of birds, not a "hit" but me and my buddy were driving down the road in the late 80's/early 90's in the summer with our windows rolled down. A bird flew through the drivers side window, in front of my face, and out the passenger window, in front of my buddy's face. About a minute later there was a delayed reaction, from both of us, and my buddy says "did a bird just fly through both windows?" And I'm like "I didn't want to say anything in case you didn't see it, and thought I was crazy, but yeah."

posted by HereticWhile the game sucked, I was kind of amazed that the one guy on the Monday Night B-team (Dan Orlovsky, I think) pretty much was non-stop talking about how Cousins needs to be a lot better for Atlanta to have any chance of doing anything. Just so weird to have all these "everything and everyone is great!!!" partners of the league most of the time (unless Al Michaels isn't in the mood to tolerate refs throwing constant flags) and then this one guy is basically like, "This dude is SUCKING ASS!!!" and completely focusing on how he's playing and how he needs to be doing a lot more.
Orlovsky is good about that. He's not a bull shitter and will tell it like it is. Wasn't a good QB but is a pretty solid analyst.
No reference to you but I find it wild that a few weeks ago the Lions were arguably the best team in football but now, after last night, with the Vikes win coupled with the decimating injuries, they could be a road playoff team if Minny wins out.

Buffalo & Philly looking like the teams to beat in each conference.

He's probably done in Cleveland.
Thankfully I was awakened at 6am this morning by a crashing sound in my family room. I rushed downstairs to find that one of the kittens knocked our TV flat on the floor. TV didn't break but ripped the Roku cord in half so I have a built in excuse not to watch the Browns shit show.

Greenlaw with the horrible unfortunate tearing of his Achilles while running on the the field at the Super Bowl….he works his way back 11 months later and his teammate is disgusted by it.
Screw that guy
Not that the Niners did this but Pat Kirwan (Sirius XM Movin' the Chains/former NFL GM) said if the was running SF there's no way he cuts this clown. He let's him serve out whatever suspension the players union allows, lets him stand in street clothes the rest of the season after the suspension, continues to keep him on the roster next year, then releases him after free agency when most of the teams have signed their guys and he has to play for pennies.
Kirwan said that cutting him now is giving a petulant child his way and basically rewarding him to possibly sign with a playoff/SB contender.
I 100% agree with Kirwan.
Wasn't really sure where to put this but am kind of shocked/surprised that John Fetterman and the mayor of NYC have actually recently come across as sensible and intelligent.

After hearing more about how Belichick plans on operating this, he could be at the forefront of transforming college football. He's already hired a General Manager (Mike Lombardi) and plans on running things like an NFL program. NFL nutrition programs, weight training, etc.
He's likely not going to get the 5 star transfers but, minus TB12, did he really have any 5 stars in New England? He can coach up a bunch of 3 stars and have them NFL ready in 3-4 years. Imagine a program, not in the SEC/Big 10, churning out 3rd rounders and up on a regular basis.
Him taking this job was very likely a smart move. He could possibly revolutionize college football versus potentially tarnishing his GOAT NFL legacy by ending up coaching some shit show (NYJ's sorry Justin/NYG's/Chicago) and having 3-4 losing seasons before retiring.
If I had a kid looking at colleges I'd be more than welcome to have the Hoodie coach them.
I don't disagree with those that think this could be a shit show, because it probably will.

I've always liked Belichick. Prick ass media here in Cleveland helped him lose his job when Satan moved the team to Baltiwhore. Cleveland media wanted this talkative, outspoken coach and Belichick wouldn't give it to him. Thought he got a bum deal. Helped turn the team around before the balloon got popped with the announcement of the move.
Will be interesting to see how he adapts to the college game, dealing with kids and the NIL stuff.
As far as being bored, that 24 year old girlfriend he has should keep him from being bored but jmo.
