    Also Brad Allen's crew (the officials who just fucked up the Lions/Cowboys game) will be working... Steelers/Ravens on Saturday

    Now as many have pointed out - most likely the NFL assigns all games prior to the start of the season to make it easy for the booking of travel, etc... but yeah... the NFL probably wishes this wasn't the case

    Bill Vinovich is the ref for the Texans. Last time he reffed a Texans game, he called back THREE (3!) touchdowns. It’s a C-O-N-spiracy!

  2. I had no faith in Ewers or Sark at the beginning of the year. They overachieved. Can’t be too mad. But I’m guessing Arch is gonna start next year anyway?

    And Penix is amazing. I’m truly baffled as to how he could be poor NFL prospect. He looks CJ Stroud-like.

    He throws such a pretty deep bowl. There's concerns about his injury history, his age, and his weird throwing motion. Probably a mid round pick.

    Probably worried about the name too

  4. As far as presents under the tree …

    I got a new man purse. Fancy Briggs and Reilly with my initials monogrammed on. That’s fun. I got some Texas Chainsaw Massacre socks.

    and that’s it!

    but before Christmas I got to go see UFC fight night in Austin and ringside seats for AEW Collision. 

    Can’t complain.

    Y'all were gonna start pissing me off if you did it the whole show but I didn't notice after awhile. (Wait until you get home and have to listen to insufferable Nigel's pre-written attempts at humor on commentary, which was worse. That's your punishment!)

    Bryan makes everything better so despite my disinterest in Claudio recently, I stayed in the match. Besides they had the built in story of BCC vs. BCC. Danielson of course underlined it with the slow slide backing off after the initial lifter which was brilliant. Nice working to the tie; since they built it into the tournament it had to go somewhere and why not here? 

    Caster bringing up Greg Abbott's treatment of immigrants pissed me off so I ignored their fucking match. You can go away again now Acclaimed.

    Would like to have better things to say about Lee/Cage but Lee just looks huge and slow (and unhealthy) out there now after all the time off. I understand it's due to long Covid and he could have died from working out so you can't fault him. Heating up the Swerve thing... well, hate to say they might should wait on it even more after all this time, but. 

    Hook had the re-up for his corner crew in the pink backpack along with his belt, apparently. 

    King/Garcia was fantastic. It was an even better version of Kingston walking through the fire of Claudio and winning via fluke rollup. Looked like Brody was seriously going to kill Red Death (as Brody actually mocked him with calling him that) but he stuck it out and got what he deserved all through this tournament: a win. Plus he got to play spoiler. Fuck you House of Black! FTR also came down to rain on their parade. 

    The women's match was fine. Rosa looks a little rusty and I don't know WTF her finisher used to be; whatever that was looked like a dangerous botch of a powerbomb. Abadon is surprisingly good at playing Ricky Morton. Skye is two years older than Julia? Maybe it's cuz I'm 40 now but it feels like Tony is running a sweatshop sometimes.

    And then we had Andrade/King which was of course the shit. Glacial pace which served to point out that Eddie's knee is ground into powder. Andrade swearing he had the knockout blow with the elbow and his smug superiority being broken like a twig was just perfect... his facial expression was probably the best "shocked face" ever because it WASN'T a shocked face, it was this bewilderment combined with anger combined with not trying to sell it and starting to physically shake from the effort. Beautiful work. I thought they might draw it out for one more move and pinfall to stretch the drama but was perfectly fine having it end right then and there at the Northern Lights Bomb. If he didn't win, I have this little stool for looking at my records that has my remote on it and I was gonna do my own version of the table flip, hahaha. 

     

    Wasn’t our idea they just started passing them out when we got there. Apparently just some very extra fans they wanted to make it interesting so AEW thinks San Antonio has lively crowds. 
     

    Lawful Jr and I thought the show was great. We’re sticking around for ROH. They promised us El Hijo Vikingo
