Guess I'll have to find a bar for the Bears game Sunday while I'm in IC since the FOX there is showing Eagles/Vikings.

I wish we brought back the colliding helmets exploding in MNF intros like in this clip. Those were always epic. I'm sure they stopped doing these because of all the stories that emerged about concussions/CTE.

I respect Tyrese Haliburton's troll game. Brewers screwed him out of throwing the first pitch before a game last year because he and the Pacers knocked the Bucks out of the playoffs. So he wears a Cubs jersey last week during a preseason game and now wore an Ohtani Dodgers jersey last night. 😄

MSP Airport has joined a growing list of airports declining to show a new video to travelers in which Kristi Noem blames Democrats for the federal government shutdown and flight delays.

Some U.S. airports decline to show Kristi Noem video blaming Democrats for government shutdown, including MSP

Phoenix, Houston, Seattle and several other airports are eschewing the video from the Department of Homeland Security secretary, too.

Just win 3 of those 4, and at WORST, they're 6-5 going into Philly on Black Friday and 6-6 going to Lambeau.

Next 4 games:
- vs. Saints
- at Ravens
- at Bengals
- vs. Giants

Suddenly this season just got a little more interesting.

Between having to spend an entire year hearing about that Hail Mary, and about how Caleb sucks, and then this garbage officiating crew tonight, damn this feels so good right now.
