This start to the season for the 76ers is something else. Brutal. 

Sick of this season.

Unless the Jets hire a Head of Football Operations type that has full control of all football decisions I think I'm out and I'll just be a Bengals fan for convenience. At least I'll have people to commiserate with. Woody Johnson needs to leave ALL football decisions to football people. 

I was actually thinking today if it’d be more challenging to be a bengals fan or jets fan. 

The Jets: are willing to make moves, do what it takes to win, fire people, make trades. Except none of it has seemed to help this season. They’re probably without a QB next season (or arguably are already) but have plenty of talent elsewhere. 

The bengals: have 3 elite and important players on a team otherwise filled with young, cheap, underachieving and non-developing “talent.” The coaching and manager should be replaced but probably won’t be. Manager Duke Tobin definitely won’t be, he’s been with the team since ‘99. Barring a miraculous turnaround, Anarumo and/or Taylor may be replaced. And that’s fine, but the run game coordinator, offensive and defensive line coaches also suck. Ownership is one of the worst in the league. They’re cheap and are about to lose another great player next season in Tee Higgins that they didn’t seem to have a plan for.

Jets fire Joe Douglas. 

Is that another Rodgers casualty?

69….waiting on MNF

Nice

Going to attempt this despite MNF not being played yet. But I dont think that game will make much difference. 

1. Lions - can finally make them #1. 
2. Bills - Been playing great and just took down previous #1.
3a. Steelers - These teams remind me a lot of each other. Great defenses and coaching staff, and QB play has been good enough which is odd to say about Mahomes.
3b. Chiefs 
5. Eagles 
6. Vikings
7. Ravens
8. Packers
9. Chargers
10. Texans (assuming MNF win)
11. Commanders
12. Broncos
13. Cardinals 
14. Falcons - woof
15. Rams
16. Seahawks
17. Colts - can Richardson save the season?
18. 49ers (season from hell)
19. Bengals 
20. Buccaneers
21. Dolphins
22. Bears
23. Saints
24. Jets
25. Cowboys
26. Patriots
27. Panthers
28. Giants
29. Raiders
30. Browns
31. Titans
32. Jaguars

--Spots 6-12 could be in any different order. All good teams deserving of top ten ranking.
--Lol AFC south. 
--NFC west just sitting in the middle as usual. 

Just can’t win the close games. All season long. 

ESPN Bet said 79% of bets were on the bengals to win.

…..why?

Should have done it weeks ago if we’re being honest. 

Doug Pederson is going to be fired as soon as the game is over 

The women’s match before this was actually much better.

Love or hate Paul he knows what he’s doing. People in my life who I wouldn’t have guessed knew boxing existed have told me they’re tuning in hoping he gets killed - which he absolutely won’t. And he’ll get an 8 figure paycheck out of crushed hopes. And do it again and again. 

I haven’t paid a lot of attention in the past but I thought Paul’s thing was to only do fights he’d inevitably win/control. 

I’ll try to watch, but my expectations are low. 

Jake Elliot is having himself a bad night

Shams said on First Take he guesses Lebron has one or two more years left, but could also depends on what happens with Bryce, his younger son. 

I say why stop there? His daughter looks to be about ten. Maybe in eight years they could be first father - daughter NBA duo. He could be first 50 year old to play in the NBA. 

I’m still planning to but I’ve looked at these games several times and most of them I have no idea. 

You’re least confident in the Texans to beat the Cowboys without Dak?

There’s some tough ones. I’ll have to think about it. Not confident in who I would pick between KC/Buffalo and Baltimore/Pittsburgh 

Kind of a rhetorical question but does Jerry Jones know he can just be quiet after the games. He doesn’t have to say everything that’s on his grumpy old mind to reporters. 

What the fuck is Goff doing
